"i got the face masks!" wonyoung says excitedly to jungwon and i who are laying down on the couch.

she hands each of us one of the face masks and tells us how to put it on.

"this will help us relax, i promise" she informs us after we give her dirty looks for making us put it on.

especially when these masks have animal faces on them. i got a ridiculous looking tiger on mine, jungwon had a giraffe one and wonyoung had a panda one.

"why do i get the ugliest animal?" jungwon complains.

"don't disrespects giraffes" i take offense.

"whatever" he rolls his eyes.

"we need to relax, this is our time" wonyoung tries to calm us down.

i think it's time to tell them the truth about my mom...

"guys... i actually have something serious to talk about" i bring it up and get awkward as they both went quiet.

"what is it?" jungwon asks slowly.

"it's about my mom" i chew the inside of my cheek.

"you can tell us" wonyoung says reassuringly after seeing my expression.

"okay so..."

i told them everything they needed to know. once i was done, wonyoung had teary eyes and jungwon had a concerned face.

"... are you okay?" he repositions himself in the couch, sitting up.

"yeah... i mean, it's been years so" i sigh, trying not to think too much about it.

"this whole time we didn't know... why didn't you tell us?" wonyoung asks sadly.

"my dad made sure my brothers and i didn't tell anyone that didn't have to know. it would've been complicated if word got out before but i think it should be fine now" i explain.

"are we the first you told?" jungwon asks curiously.

"about that..." i chuckle nervously. "i may or may not have told yuna as well" i grimace at the sound of that.

"what!?" wonyoung shouts.

"how?" jungwon tries to make sense of it.

"well, i actually thought she wanted to be my friend and i needed someone to vent to. it had only been a couple of years since my mom's passing then so she was the closest to me that i could tell that to. i regret it so much now" i put my face on my hands.

"you have us to defend you now! if she does something, she won't stand a chance this time" wonyoung rushes to tell me.

"yeah, and she won't come back afterwards this time either" jungwon says threateningly.

"you guys are a little scary... i'll have a little plan in mind, we just have to wait and see" i tell them.

"it feels so weird after the trip, like we're back to the same old routine... ugh" niki says before laying down on his desk and closing his eyes.

"lucky for us, we have english first hour so it's not too tiring" i say setting up my stuff for the class.

"you mean lucky for you?... english is one of my worst enemies" he mumbles in his sleepy trance.

"you can always ask me for help" i shrug my shoulders.

the day basically continued like this, hanging out with friends and such at school, waiting for this monday to be over. i still haven't told them i figured out it was yuna who messed up my clothes because i think that could wait.
