Huening Kai snuck Soobin into the institute. His first thought was to tell Yeonjun. Maybe their friendships could be saved. They hid as a distraught Jeongsan walked passed them. Soobin looked concerned, but he couldn't do anything about that just yet.
Yeonjun heard someone entering his room once more. He assumed Jeongsan had come back to argue. "더 이상 논쟁하고 싶지 않아요. 저는 결정을 내렸어요." (I don't want to argue anymore. I made my decision.) Huening Kai remained silent as Soobin answered. "Why did you argue ?" This voice... Yeonjun quickly turned around to face his doorway. His eyes swelled with tears as he came face to face with Soobin & Huening Kai. "Soobin ? Is that you ?"
Huening Kai gave a cute grin, "I brought Soobin back." Yeonjun was happy, but he still felt burdened. None of this meant they'd come back to the institute. "I see..." Soobin stepped towards him, ultimately getting familiar with the things around him again. However, this didn't mean the subject they needed to discuss would just be brushed off since Soobin was back again.
"왜 정산형이랑 다투는 거예요? 무슨 일인가요?" (Why are you arguing with Jeongsan hyung ? What happened ?) Huening Kai took a seat. He was just as interested as Soobin. What has happened to everything ? "The school is in jeopardy... Jeongsan hyung can't be headmaster anymore. I went to speak with Soobin' father to figure how to prevent the institute from becoming the laughing stalk of the other schools..."
There wasn't much they knew of the other schools, but it won't prevent Yeonjun from saving the institute. Soobin was the first to question Yeonjun again, "You spoke with my father ? What did he say ? What happened ?" Yeonjun took his seat at the window once more. He had no reason to feel bad about what he has done. It was for the survival of the institute. "Hyun-Shik told me how to save the institute. Jeongsan hasn't been a good headmaster..."
True enough Yeonjun wasn't entirely off in his accusation. The institute has lost many students & it took a hit with most of the prefects being indisposed or dead (recently resurrected). Jeongsan also let himself go. All of which wasn't good for the institute after the change of headmasters & reforming the entire institution. "You didn't, did you ? Did you promise Hyun-Shik he'd get out of the penitentiary ?" Soobin asked growing a bit angry.
Kai rested a hand on Soobin' shoulder when he stood up. Overall he was worried Soobin could initiate another fight no one would be able to stop. Yeonjun just stared as his intense angry gaze matched Soobin'. "범규랑 태현이를 불러야죠. 이 결정은 우리 모두를 포함합니다." (We should call Beomgyu and Taehyun hyung here. This decision involves all of us.), Soobin said full aware that he couldn't do anything rash. Kai had done so much to bring him back.
---------------------------------------------
Not too later all five of them were sitting in otherwise empty main hall of the Monzara Institute. They all calmed down, sharing everything that has changed with each of them. Apologies mixed in as well as smiles.
Taehyun sighed as he made eye contact with Soobin, "우리 부모님이 나쁜 사람들이라는 건 알아요, 형. 하지만 이제 출소할 때가 되지 않았습니까? 정산은 그들보다 더 나은 게 없습니다." (I know our parents are bad people for what they've done, hyung. But isn't it time they get released from the penitentiary ? Jeongsan is not any better than they are.) Beomgyu backed Taehyun up. Which was showed as a huge step since they've been together in a single room talking freely. "You know he is right, hyung. Jeongsan isn't free of guilt. He targeted us to get at our parents as soon as we entered the institute."
Speaking of the Devil, Jeongsan rushed into the main hall. His face was probably in the palest shade any of the five has ever seen on him. He had news he never thought he'd be delivering. Let alone be delivering to these five. "What is it ?" Yeonjun questioned as Jeongsan tried collecting his breaths. "I have two sets of news..."
This got everyone the edge of their seats. "Well ?", Kai said anxiously as he clung to Soobin. "Your parents are to be released from the penitentiary on the grounds of excellent behavior. They feel that they've served more than enough time for a crime done when they were young..."
Taehyun' ability helped him learn the other news a bit earlier. This news he shared with Beomgyu only, who looked downright horrified. Soobin pushed Jeongsan on. "What is the other news ?" Jeongsan sighed as he dropped some papers to table where they were all sat. The Nova Caize seal plastered on the papers.
The Nova Caize Council never summoned people. Let alone summon a group of students from any of the schools in the continent' three countries (i.e. Monzara, Willowdale, & Ichor Gardens). "You've been summoned before the council..." Soobin stood up absolutely shocked, "왜요?! 왜 의회가 우릴 보고 싶어하죠?!" (Why ?! Why would the council want to see us ?!)
Jeongsan didn't have any answers he could give him. It wasn't like the council was going to disclose the details on why they wanted the five of them. Yeonjun looked over the papers as everyone else freaked out a bit. Yeonjun looked up with a determination in his eyes. "It was meant to be so. We can't change this no matter how much we wish we could..."
What could happen from here on ?
