#.. TWELVE

Arriving at the said location, Jooyeon was stunned by the scenery. It was actually breathtaking; The lake reflected the sunlight, the flower field a little further away seemed colorful and cheerful. "Feel free to do whatever you want" Mrs Pae smiled. "But don't come close to the edge of the cliff!"

Jungsu, Seungmin and Jooyeon decided to go to the flower field in order to take some pretty photos. Seungmin had his digital camera with him, with which he kept taking candid photos of his friends. "So I'll have this day in my memories forever", he reasoned his doing.

They were having a lot of fun, yet Jooyeon couldn't help but notice the ugly glances the teachers gave them. "Why are they staring at us like that?" Jooyeon questioned, his voice softer so they wouldn't hear it. And that was actually a really good question. But then Jungsu suddenly received a realization. His eyes widened and he suddenly seemed so hectic. "Your hair is longer than the dress code allows," he hissed suddenly and Seungmin also suddenly seemed tense. "When we come back, cut your hair... I think immediately would be great..." "But I like the length like that."

Jooyeon remembered everything that has happened to his friends so far whenever they broke a rule but up to this day he didn't really know what exactly happened. He had that one theory that the teachers hurt them. But why should they? That wouldn't be legitimate at all.

Mrs Pae's phone then rang. The friends wouldn't care about it if she didn't mention the name of a person really close to them. "Han Hyeongjun did what?" Her voice sounded so intimidating, Jooyeon felt chills run down his spine. The three looked at each other, clearly lost. What did their friend do? Mrs Pae went over to Mr Na and asked him whether he'd be able to watch the class. "It's code red.. A student ran away."

It was supposed to be quiet but Jooyeon heard it. And froze. "Did you hear that?" Jooyeon asked, stiff because of the surprise effect.
"Hyeongjun ran away.."
