It was the next day, Su-ho and Si-eun went to Beom-seok's to see why he didn't go to school today. Ju-won would of went but, she was still upset with him for acting the way he acted.

"What brings you guys here?" Beom-seok asked after he opened the door and revealing Si-eun and Su-ho. "Why is your phone off?"

"I didn't know. Come in." Beom-seok stepped to the side, as Si-eun and Su-ho stepped into the house. "Where's Ju-won?" Beom-seok suddenly asked, realizing someone was missing from their group. "she's still pissed at you." Su-ho simply said, with his hands in his pockets, as he looked around the house amused. "Wow, this is like a mansion. Why is the house so big?"

"You all look alike in this picture." Su-ho pointed out a family picture on the wall.

"They're not my family." Beom-seok stated, as Si-eun and Su-ho were taken back at what he said. "My father adopted me publicly when he became a politician. It was strategic." It was a long pause between the three, until Beom-seok spoke again. "Want something to drink?"

"Is something wrong?" Si-eun asked Beom-seok when there's infact something wrong but Beom-seok won't admit it. "Yah. Tell us what's the matter." Su-ho nodded his head towards him. "Why did you snap on Ju-won that day when she was only trying to help you? By the way, that was a dick move to pull on my girlfriend. Come on." Su-ho waved his arm at him. "Tell me everything."

"Is it about those guys that we saw at karaoke? The ones Ju-won mentioned?" Si-eun asked, remembering the guys from the karaoke room.

"Karaoke?" Su-ho looked clueless at Si-eun. "What karaoke?"

"I was bullied..." Beom-seok started to explained. "So, because of them.. I had to get therapy." Beom-seok played with his fingers nervously. "And that's also why I transferred to this school. After Ju-won and I ran into them at karaoke... They keep calling. They called Ju-won hot the night of karaoke."

"What?" Su-ho asked in disbelief. "She didn't say anything to me. But, why the hell did those assholes bully you?"

"You know how guys just bully other kids in order to bond with each other, and to feel superior over someone." Beom-seok continued. "I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't do anything wrong."

"It's okay Beom-seok." Si-eun reassured. "You didn't do anything wrong."

"Call those fuckers." Su-ho announced, making Beom-seok quickly look up at him. "I'll make them apologize. Call them."

Ju-won was just about to get a good night rest, when her phone suddenly ringed. Ju-won grabbed her phone, and grinned to herself when it was Su-ho. Ju-won pressed answer.

"Yah. Meet us at karaoke. We have business to take care of." Su-ho said, then hung up the phone leaving Ju-won severely confused.

"Tell me why we are here right now. I was just about to get my beauty sleep." Ju-won asked the three boys, as they met outside of the karaoke building. "We're here to help Oh Beom-seok out. You know the guys you saw at the karaoke night? Well, they bullied him at his other school." Su-ho explained, and wrapped his arm around Beom-seok's shoulder. "and I'm going to get a piece of their mind for calling you hot. Only I get to do that."

Ju-won noticed Beom-seok's frightened expression on his face, as she walked over, and placed her hand onto his arm. "Hey, don't be scared. We're here right with you." Beom-seok slowly shook both of their hands off of him, as he walked inside, and they slowly followed behind.

The group of friends made it to a karaoke room where they were at. Beom-seok walked in first, and Ju-won instantly smelled the cigarette smoke.

"Gosh." Ju-won groaned. "It fucking reeks of cigarettes in here."

"Oh!" One of the guys exclaimed that was sitting on the couch, and putting his hands up in the air. "He brought the hot girl too! Wanna cigarette?" Su-ho went to step forward, but Ju-won gently placed her hand onto his chest, to prevent him to do anything.

"Apologize." Beom-seok said bluntly. "Apologize to me."

"Did you hear that?" The guys laughed, and they shared glances. Once they noticed Beom-seok's serious look on his face, they had stopped.  "Apologize for what?"

"Apologize what you did to me." Beom-seok said.

"Hey, Beom-seok..you only apologize for what you did wrong. We're friends, aren't we?" The guy pointed towards himself and Beom-seok. "Aren't we? We always had fun together. Why do you need an apology? Explain."

"Yah." Si-eun chimed in. "Apologize properly."

"What?"

"You heard him." Ju-won stepped forward, with an annoyed expression on her face. "Apologize to Oh Beom-seok. Properly."

"How many times do we have to tell you?" Su-ho said. "Do you want to get beaten up? This isn't a joke." Su-ho stepped forward a little bit, ready to do any harm to the other boys.

"Beom-seok, my friend." The guy stood onto his feet, and walked closer to Beom-seok. "What the hell are you doing, you bastard? Do you miss the good old times? How we used to meet everyday?" Beom-seok flinched back when he got closer.

"That's enough." Ju-won pulled Beom-seok back, and she stepped in front him. "Apologize. I'm not in the mood to tell you again."

The guy couldn't help but let out a vicious laugh, and got closer to her face. "We don't need too. Hot girl."

Suddenly, the guy let out a pain groan as Su-ho walked over and grabbed onto his ear. "don't call my girlfriend hot. Are you ignoring us? Say your apologies with sincerity." Su-ho squeezed his ear a little harder, and the guy whimpered. "Okay, fine." Su-ho pushed the guy, as he cried out in pain and held onto his ear.

"What a baby." Ju-won scoffed, as Su-ho grabbed the collar of the boys shirt, and faced Beom-seok. "Apologize to Beom-seok."

"I'm sorry." The guy looked down, and Ju-won knew exactly he wasn't sorry. "I'm really sorry."

"If you're really sorry.... Let me hit you once." Beom-seok suddenly said, making Ju-won widened her eyes in surprise. "You're not going to be sincere with your apology, so let me punch you." The guy let out a disbelief scoff. "Is that so?"

"Just man up and get over with it." Su-ho said.

"I'm really sorry, Beom-seok. I'm serious." The guy continued to apologize, trying to get Beom-seok not to hit him. "I'm serious." Ju-won flinched back in surprised when Beom-seok suddenly smacked the boy across the face, making his head turn to the side. "You crazy bastard!" The guy spat, as he hit Beom-seok in the face, making his glasses get thrown off his face.

"Are you okay?" Si-eun and Ju-won asked Beom-seok, as Su-ho grabbed the guys throat, and pinned him against the wall. Beom-seok pushed off Ju-won's hand when he grabbed the microphone, and slowly walked over. The guy ducked but Su-ho had already grabbed onto his arm. "Don't cross the line."

"Gosh." Ju-won groaned. "Can I get one minute of piece?"
