The restaurant ended up being some kind of dinner place, dim lighting, and some quiet music for ambiance. Sunwoo's grade ended up occupying most of the tables.

Sunwoo, Eric, Chanhee, and Juyeon were sat with one other group of friends at a large booth. Sunwoo was busy helping Eric pick from the menu when one of the other friend group tapped Sunwoo on the shoulder.

"Sunwoo, right?" She asked.

Sunwoo nodded cautiously.

"My friend has a question." The nice girl said, pointing over her shoulder slightly.

Sunwoo looked over to a guy who was now leaning almost completely over the table.

"So is it true you got Younghoon expelled?" He asked, a little insensitively. He had this look on his face, like he was secretly mad.

"Excuse me?" Sunwoo questioned, feeling insulted. To him, it sounded like this guy thought Younghoon didn't deserve it and Sunwoo was a bad person for doing so.

The girl seemingly caught on as she then slapped her friend on the arm.

"Insensitive dick." She hissed, she turned back to Sunwoo with an apologetic smile. "Sorry about him. We're just all surprised that someone finally managed to get him kicked out of school."

"Well, it wasn't just me. In fact it wasn't me at all. My friends- and boyfriend" Sunwoo emphasized as he gave Eric a look. "are the real hero's. They really came through for me."

"It's really cool that you have friends like that." The girl smiled. "You've even managed to make Juyeon turn a new leaf."

"Actually," Juyeon chimed in. "I did that on my own. I'm currently working on apologies directly to the people I hurt."

Just then a waiter came up to their table with a pad, a pen, and a friendly smile. He took everyone's order and excused himself.

"I need a nap." Juyeon sighed heavily.

Everyone was pretty much done eating, except for a few others still finishing up. Everyone was slumped, absolutely full and sleepy again. They were just about ready to fall into a food coma.

"What you need is a little restraint." Chanhee scolded. "I told you not to force yourself to finish, otherwise you'll get tired and bloated. That kind of loss of energy after eating could definitely affect your health."

Yeah, Chanhee was also very careful with his body and his health. And obviously since his parents are doctors, it wasn't hard to learn all this.

"Okay, mom." Juyeon rolled his eyes.

Chanhee sighed in disappointment and gave up.

"You know, you are just about as stubborn as my 6-year-old cousin." Chanhee scoffed.

Sunwoo looked over at Eric, who was almost grimacing at his plate. He looked a little green, too.

"Hey, you okay? You look a little green." Sunwoo whispered.

Eric nodded slightly.

"Yeah, I'm just...I don't feel so good." He replied quietly. "I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back."

Without another word Eric slipped away and disappeared to the bathroom. Sunwoo frowned, now left alone to worry by himself.

"Can you go check on him?" Sunwoo asks Juyeon who is still pouting. Juyeon's expression changed from sad to confused and slightly offended.
