"What are you guys doing here, Lele?" Sungchan whispered to his friend with gritted teeth, clearly anything but amused by their presence.
"Surpriseeee!" he said with a smile.
"Are you kidding me?!" He whisper-yelled, clearly annoyed.

"I'm sorry, but hyung thought it would be good for us to attend school!"
"Us? Who's "us"?! Who else is here?!" He looked surprised and worried.
"Only us Dream! Well... except Mark hyung" Chenle answered.
"Why?! I mean.. why?! She didn't say anything! She can-"
"Sungchan, calm down, okay? We are not here for your sister! Jeno hyung can explain it to you at break time, okay?" He looked at him.

"Ohh! Wait! I have something for you!" he said, fidgeting with a piece of paper from his pocket. He looked at him, confused, as Chenle placed the piece of paper on his desk.
Sungchan unfolded it and started to read , making sure the teacher was not watching.

Hello Sungchan,
I'm sorry- you might think something bad when you recieve this. But don't worry, just play along. I will explain everything when we see each other at break. C U later.
-Jeno

He looked at his friend again and sighed. "You've got to be kidding me...." he muttered, before turning his attention back to class.

"Soulie!" Her friend whispered beside her, noticing her confused expression. She looked at him. "Are you okay?" Bic asked. "Yeah... just... confused about what that boy gave my brother" she answered.

"Really? You are worried about that? Maybe they just befriended each other and exchanged numbers to stay in contact?" "That quickly?" "Soulie, seriously! You have become a little paranoid. Stop worrying, okay? We are here for you." he said, turning back to his desk. The girl sighed, still worried.

She turned to face Ryujin and Daehwi. "Hey guys! Do you want to come over this weekend? We haven't done anything together in forever" Both just stared at her with a blank expression.

As she turned to her right- since Daehwi was sitting behind the new boy- she noticed that he, too, gave her a confused look before turning back to his desk.

"What?" she asked, clearly confused.
"You okay, girl?" Ryujin asked. The girl looked at her, not understanding what she meant.

"Is it getting worse again, Soulie?" Bic asked from behind her. She turned back to him, his face clearly showing his worry. 

Now she looked at him, finally realizing what he meant. "I-I...."
"Hey, Sweety! Everything is fine, okay? We are here! It's not that bad." Bic said, reaching for her hand to comfort her.

"I am so sorry!"
"Hey, Soul! Don't be sad, okay?" Daehwi said worriedly, laying his hand on his best friends hand. "She forgot again."
She turned around again. Sungchan, Jeongin, and the new boy- who sat next to her brother- were all looking at her.

"Jeongin, can't you convince hyung to let her take her medication again?" he asked. She only buried her face in her arms, resting on her desk.

"Why should I do that? He is your cousin!" he stated. "Because I already tried." "Sungchan, what do you prefer- her like this, or a serious lung infection?" he asked. "Do you want me to remind you of the last time it was this bad?" he shot back.

"Hey, you two idiots! Stop that shit- she can hear you!" Bic scolded them, wrapping an arm around his best friend, who sank deeper into her posture, hiding her face in her arms.

"This is a discussion for your family, Sungchan... not something you should be having in class, where certain idiots are eavesdropping to find a new reason..." Bic said again through gritted teeth.
"I'm sorry? Did you just-"
"Chenle.... I don't think they mean us..." the other one said.
