"Hey, hey! Hurry up!" We take a shortcut through the rental apartments.

"I'm going first!"

I run as fast as I can, "Gyeong-su hold up!"

"Hey, kids!"

"Bye," I say as I jump over the gate.

I look back at the security gaurd chasing us. "Hey, kids! You get back here!" I laugh. "Hey you! You live in the rental apartments." He continues to chase us, "Hey! You punks! Hey!"

"Hello." Gyeong-su pats Na-yeon's shoudler as we run past her.

"See you later!" I say.

"Wait for me!"

"Me too! Shit." I yell.

We arrive at the side walk across from the school. I step onto the road but a car almost runs me over. Luckily, Gyeong-su pulled me back. "That mother fucker," I flip the car off as it passes.

I look over at Su-hyeok, who is next to me. I grin when I get an idea. "First one there gets *15,000 won?" He smirks back, "Bet."

[*Around $11.41 USD]

"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock."

"Hurry. Hurry, hurry! Wake up five minutes earlier, okay?"

I run, trying to avoid the P.E. teacher. I don't know why, he just seems like a pervert. I look back when the teacher says, "All right, that's it! Stop right there! Stop, stop, stop!" Dang poor On-jo. She glares at Cheong-san and I laugh.

"You owe me 15,000 won now," I grin at Su-hyeok. He groans, "Fine, in class." I hum and walk away.

Wait is that Gwi-nam? And there's two other kids following the group. Shit. He better not try to pull anything. Especially after what happened, he's on thin ice.

I walk into a construction site and follow the group inside.

As I walk in the first thing I hear is, "You perverted freak," and Gwi-nam saying, "You like it?" I look around and see a girl topless on the floor covering her chest. I frown, "That fucker."

The other kid wasn't recording though, and they got mad.

"You asshоlе." Gwi-nam grabs his hand forcefully and presses record for him, "Go on. Just press record." I walk in before anything else can happen, "Really, Gwi-nam?" I kick a metal rod at him.

He smiles at me, "Hey, N/n."

I walk up to him, "What the actual fuck do you think you're doing?" I give the girl her bra and glare at Gwi-nam, "You're so fucked up for this."

"You didn't think I was so fucked up when we killed Jin-su."

"We?"

"Yes, we."

"Be quiet. Don't bring that up."

"Or what?" He grips my wrists harshly. "How about you join her, my love?"

I scoff, "As if. We all know which one of us stronger." He grabs my shirt with his other hand and I look at him blankly.

It might look like I don't care, but in reality, I'm freaking out.

"Try it. I dare you." I challenge. He starts to unbutton my shirt and I roll my eyes, ready to knee him in the balls.

"This is why your dad left."

He pushes me up against one of the crusty walls, "You don't even know him, Y/n." He says grabbing my face.

"Ew, don't touch my face. You probably don't even wash your hands."
