"Kijae!", I call out as I run into the nurses' office. Kijae then stands up from the bed and runs up to me, immediantly hugging me.

"Please don't get mad at me, please!", he begs out as tears begin to flow down his face, "I didn't mean to start a fight! I was just defending myself."

"Hey, hey, hey.", I frown as I break the hug and hold his shoulders. His face was messed up.. badly.

His left cheek was cut and was bleeding, he had a couple bruises on his face and his lip and nose was also bleeding. His once very white uniform button up now had red blood stains on it.
There was probably more but I didn't get to see them since the nurse, thankfully, had already treated them by putting bandages over them and other nursey stuff.

"Go back to the bed and let the nurse finish patching you up.", I frown as I usher him over. He nods his head as he wipes his tears with the back of his hand as he takes a seat on the bed, letting the nurse finish cleaning him up.

"What's Seungmin doing here?", Kijae asks as he tries to fix his unsteady breathing. I sigh as I lean against Seungmin. I then grab Seungmin's arm and wrap it around my shoulder, smiling at him.
"He drove me here since there wasn't a bus on time."

"I also wanted to see what kind of trouble you got into, and by the looks of it you did not win that fight.", Seungmin jokes but stops once I slightly jab his waist. "What was that for? I'm trying to lighten up the mood here."

"Once we clean Kijae up, we'll head over to a room where the other student is. We had to separate them since they kept provoking each other..", the nurse sighs as she grabs a clean cloth, pouring some water on it and wiping off the dry blood on Kijae's face.

Few minutes later, I was sat in an empty classroom with Seungmin beside me as we were sat at a teacher's desk with the other student's parents and the principal of the school.

I'm guessing Seungmin knew I was nervous since he held my hand in his, rubbing my hand with his palm in smooth motions to try and keep me calm.
He used to always do this when we were in high school. Whenever he'd notice I was nervous or scared, he'd hold my hand and do a certain motion.

Across, circle, star and it repeats over and over again.

Somehow, it always helps me calm down. My hand were no longer tense but was more relaxed. I pass Seungmin a soft smile as I also tighten my fingers around his hand.

Kijae was sat on one side of the classroom while the other student, who I learnt to be called Beomwoo, was sat on the other side of the classroom. We had the keep them in a far distance from each other so that they wouldn't get into another fight.

"Kijae and Beomwoo were seen having a physical fight in the classroom by a teacher during third period.  We've tried asking them what caused the fight, but they wouldn't tell us.", the principal sighs. "We asked other students who had been there if they knew what or who started it, and most students said Kijae started it, but the rest said Beomwoo started it."

"He made fun of me.", Kijae calls out as he crosses his arms over his chest. "He was making fun of how dad died and how I'm fatherless."

Beomwoo then scoffs, "Your dad probably died on purpose just to get away from you.", he laughs.
Kijae then jumps up from his seat and heads for Beomwoo, but Seungmin was quick to stop him and settle him down again.

"We need more information on the fight before we take any further action.", the principal says. "We just need one of them to tell us what happened."

"Park Beomwoo, you better open up right now!", Mrs. Park shouts out. Beomwoo then rolls his eyes as he shakes his head 'no' with a cocky smile.

"Kijae", Seungmin starts as he sits Kijae down on a seat, him then dragging a chair over beside the boy, "you do know your not in deep-shit trouble, right? We just need to know what caused the fight and who started it.".

"Beomwoo started it.", Kijae frowns, "He started it all."
"How?", I ask as I stand up from my seat, going over to Kijae and also dragging a chair over beside him. Kijae then starts tearing up a bit.

"Our third period was a free class, so we were doing whatever. I was just with my friends playing some games on our phones and then I hear Beomwoo talking shit about me.", he frowns as he sends Beomwoo a glare, "I didn't even do anything, like I said, I was just playing with my friends. When I called him out for taking shit, he started going on about how bad of a son I am because I have no dad and was also making fun of me, Heejae and you.  When he started talking shit about you guys that's what pissed me off and that's when I went up to him and punched him."

"Ok damn, put it there, bro. I'm proud of you for that.", Seungmin laughs as he smiles at Kijae, then fist bumping him. Kijae then lets out a small smile and laugh.

I tut my tongue as I slap Seungmin's arm harshly, then giving Kijae a small side hug as I wipe off his tears with my hand. Seungmin and I then head back over to the table where the parents were.

"So Beomwoo started the fight by provoking Kijae.", the principal says, "The school doesn't tolerate any form of violence or bullying and since these two boys have done both of them I have no other choice but to suspend Beomwoo for two weeks and Kijae for until the end of the week as he was the victim here."

"He threw the first punch though!", Beomwoo fights back. Mr. Park then claps his hand infront of the boy's face.
"You provoked him, so you shut that mouth of yours!"

Mrs. Park then turns to me and bows, "I am so sorry about Beomwoo's behavior towards your brother. I'll be sure to send over an apology package to your house for the trouble caused."

I shake my head with a smile, "There's no need to do that, don't worry.", I say as I stand up from my seat and head on over to Kijae, patting his back. "Go get your stuff from your classroom and I'll bring you home. If anybody asks about what happened don't say anything."

Kijae then nods his head as he stands up and heads out of the classroom.
"Beomwoo will need to write separate apology letters to Kijae's mom, his sisters and Kijae himself by the end of this week.", the principal says, "After his suspension is complete, he will also be having detention after school for one week until five in the afternoon."

"In my defense," Beomwoo starts with both his hands up, "that kid started the physical fight. Not me."

Seungmin then bends down a bit and whispers in my ear, "Hold me back, I think I might punch a kid."
