Next one I choose to trust, I hope
I use some common sense

Jungwon leaned casually against his locker, arms crossed, his expression somewhere between disbelief and amusement. "Let me get this straight," he began slowly, trying to suppress a smirk. "Sunghoon read your personal journal without permission, and now your revenge plan... is to make him fall in love?"

Sunoo rubbed the back of his neck, a little embarrassed now that he was hearing it out loud. "Well... when you say it like that, it does sound kind of dumb." Before he could fully defend himself, Jungwon's laughter broke through.

"Hey! Stop laughing!" Sunoo protested, though his own lips twitched upward. Jungwon's laughter was contagious, after all. "I don't get what's so funny. Isn't love supposed to be, like, the ultimate revenge? Everyone wants it, right?"

Jungwon managed to catch his breath, still chuckling as he replied, "Yeah, but that's my point! How is it revenge if you're giving him exactly what everyone wants?"

Sunoo groaned, pressing his forehead against the cold metal of his locker. He sighed deeply, staring at the ground. "You don't get it," he muttered. "Sunghoon doesn't want love. I've known him long enough to know that." His voice dipped into something more serious, though there was still that playful edge. "We've been enemies since forever, Jungwon. I know how he ticks."

Jungwon gave a nonchalant shrug. "If you say so. But just make sure you know what you're doing. You don't want this to backfire." His voice was skeptical, but there was also a trace of concern underneath.

Sunoo's eyes suddenly lit up as he jumped up, "Oh! Wait, there's more!" he exclaimed, practically vibrating with excitement. "A few days ago, this girl came up to me—totally desperate—and asked if I could help her get Sunghoon to like her. You see where I'm going with this, right?"

Jungwon raised a brow, bringing his fingers to his temples like he could already feel a headache forming. "If I ignore what you just said... maybe this whole thing will disappear."

Sunoo grabbed his friend's shoulders and shook him vigorously, panic creeping into his voice. "You can't ignore this! I need your help! Please, Jungwon, I can't do this alone!"

Jungwon groaned, feeling dizzy from the shaking. "Alright, alright! Just stop shaking me!" he relented, holding his hands up in surrender. Sunoo let out a cheer, throwing his arms around Jungwon in a tight hug. "Thank you, thank you!"

With a dramatic flourish, Sunoo drew an imaginary cloud in the air, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "The moment we've been waiting for is finally here! Operation: M.B.B.F.L. is officially underway!"

Jungwon blinked. "Operation what now?"

Ignoring the confusion, Sunoo threw open his locker and reached for a sleek black case, pulling out a pair of glasses. He slid them onto the bridge of his nose, adjusting them with a flourish. "Our mission is clear: we're going to make the notorious bad boy fall head over heels in love!" he declared with a dramatic fist pump.

Jungwon raised an eyebrow. "And then what?" he asked, tone flat but clearly amused. "What's the strike in this whole plan?"

Sunoo faltered, momentarily stumped. "Well... I haven't exactly figured that part out yet," he admitted, his confidence wavering for a moment. "But don't worry! We'll come up with something brilliant. I just need a little more time."

Jungwon sighed, retrieving his books from his locker and stuffing them into his bag. "So you don't have a plan at all. Why am I not surprised?" He slung his bag over his shoulder and shook his head, though the amusement never left his face. "Are you even going to write this down, or are we just winging it?"

Sunoo brightened, adjusting his glasses. "That's actually a great idea! I should definitely write it down!" Jungwon nearly choked on his own breath, startled by Sunoo's response. "Wait—you weren't going to write it down? How do you expect your pea-sized brain to hold any more ideas?"

Sunoo rolled his eyes dramatically. "That's why I have you! With my genius ideas and your annoyingly sharp memory, we're unstoppable!"

Jungwon snorted, slinging his bag onto his back. "Sure, whatever you say. Let's just head home. You can take your time plotting once we get there."

Sunoo threw his own bag over his shoulder, a determined look in his eyes. "Just wait. This is going to be legendary. The greatest plan in history!"

Jungwon shook his head, unable to hide his grin. "Sometimes I can't tell if you're just really confident or completely clueless."

Sunoo crossed his arms, smirking. "Why can't I be both?"

"Whatever you say." Jungwon was already halfway down the hall when Sunoo darted after him, calling out, "Wait! Don't leave me behind!"
