METANOIA (completed)

02 | Bedevilled {Confusion}

/Namhae Town - Old garage/

Dohyun waited for someone with a large amount of money in his bag. Dohyun pulled down his mask and wiped his sweat. Someone taped his shoulder from behind. He quickly wore his mask again.

"Mr. Hui, right?" asked Dohyun.
"Yes, where's the money?"
Dohyun gave the bag to him.
"Who are you? Where's the one that usually sends me the money?" asked Mr. Hui, trying to pull San's mask off to take a look at his face.
"I don't know." Dohyun dodged the man's hand away from his face. "My job is done. I need to go'' Dohyun quickly got in the car. "Move" commanded him to the driver. The car moved and left the man alone.

/Mr Choi's house/

Dohyun came to his father's office as he needed to report everything he did. "Everything done, appa."
"Good job" said Mr. Choi without looking at his son.
"Don't ask me to do that again!" said Dohyun raucously.
"I have another job for you" replied his father while staring at Dohyun.
"You have your own subordinate. Why do you ask me to do all of this?"
"I want you to learn all of this. This business will be yours one day." said his father.
Dohyun smirked and gave a sharp gaze to his father. "I don't want to live like you" he said, then went out of his father's office.
"Useless" murmured Mr. Choi.

San came out of his house to find his brother. Then, he saw his brother sitting on the bench in front of their home pond. San walked towards his brother. "Hyung, here you are. I tried to find you everywhere.''
"I'm just here." said Dohyun. His eyes kept looking at the fish in the pond.
"I thought you would go somewhere without telling me." San sat beside his brother.
"Yeah, I went somewhere. Appa asked me to send something to his friend.'' Dohyun didn't want to lie to his brother about where he was going, but at the same time, he tried to keep the secret of what his father asked him to do safely in his pocket.
"I see... Oh, hyung."
"Hmm?" Dohyun looked at his little brother.
"You said you would have basketball practice, right? When?''
"Yeah, next Saturday."
"Can I come with you?" San blinked his eyes fast.
"You want to play too?"
"No, I just want to watch you practice."
"Eyyy" said Dohyun. ''I was so excited just now. Sure, you can come with me."
"Yey!" San did a little dance.
"Oh, I think I found myself a cheerleader" said Dohyun.
San understood, then he continued the dance. "He is always right there when I need him" sang San.
"He? It's 'she'" Dohyun fixed the wrong lyric by San.
"I know, I just want to sing about me."
"Hmm?" Dohyun was confused.
"I'll be your cheerleader this Saturday" San smiled.
"Eyy heyy....." Dohyun giggled.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA cringed right? HAHAHAHAHA" San laughed loudly.
"A little bit" Dohyun also laughed.

/Saturday-Basketball court/

San watched his brother play basketball with his team.
"Hey" someone greeted him. The boy sat beside San.
San turned beside him. "Hi."
That was Jongho from the other class next to his.

"Hi, I'm Jongho."
"I'm San." He smiled awkwardly.
"Are you one of this basketball team?"
"No, I'm just watching my brother."
"Ahhh, I see."
"Are you a part of the team too?" asked San.
"Yeah, I was" Jongho looked down to the floor. San followed Jongho's gaze.
"I'm sorry" said San after he saw Jongho's bandaged leg. He also just noticed the crutches beside Jongho.
"Which one is your brother?" asked Jongho.
"There's the one who holds the ball" San said, excited to show his brother to Jongho.
"Ahhh, the new member of the team" said Jongho in a dull tone. His smile slowly faded from his mouth.
"I need to go" said Jongho.
"You need help?" asked San as he saw Jongho finding it a little bit difficult to stand.
"I don't need help from someone like you." Jongho walked away and left San in confusion.
"What? Someone like me?" San tilted his head. "What does he mean just now?"

/Next day at school/

San waved to his brother and walked to his class. Finally, he managed to adapt himself to his new school, but sometimes he still feels awkward when other students talk to him.
Suddenly, there were three boys standing in front of him. He stopped and looked at them. The middle boy raised an eyebrow at San. San was confused and tried to move to the other side, but they stopped him.
