"Hey Gyu!" Matthew called Gyuvin over at the lunch table. Of course, next to him was  his beloved Jiwoong.

Gyuvin slowly walked over to the table, putting his bag down. He yawned, making Matthew frown. "Why're you so tired?" He asked, though it was an obvious question.

Gyuvin had fell asleep at around 3:30 a.m last night. The reason why he couldn't sleep wasn't so obvious though.

Maybe it was what happened last night.

Probably.

"I don't know.. I just couldn't fall asleep." Gyuvin finally lifted his head, seeing Jiwoong. "Oh- hi Jiwoong." Gyuvin waved and smiled when he said it back.

Matthew cleared his throat. "How come your so down when you're talking to me, huh??" He asked, squishing Gyuvin's cheeks.

The brunette smirked. "Someone's jealous~" Matthew let go of his and frowned. "What? I'm not." Jiwoong glanced at him for a second and looked back.

"Whatever.. I'm so hungry. Go buy me something." Gyuvin asked. Well, told Matthew.

He furrowed his eyebrows, shaking his head. "I already spent half my money on your food because you're broke." Gyuvin sighed dramatically.

"Fine.. guess I'll leave then." Gyuvin said quietly. "So soon?" Matthew asked. The brunette got up from his seat. "Yeah, if im not gonna eat then I may as well study." He said.

Matthew raised his eyebrows. "Who are you? This isn't my Gyuvin." He shook his head slowly.

Gyuvin rolled his eyes. "Okay bye." He said before leaving and walking upstairs to the library.

"Now if I could get some kind of proof.."

The sun rays almost blinded Ricky's eyes as he groaned. "What should I do about this.. I should've taken a proof photo of the stupid bullies." He mumbled, laying his head down on his desk.

"Wait, what am I waiting for? I have to find Gyuvin." The boy got up from the desk and went to go find his friend.

Ricky ran into the hallways, looking around for Gyuvin. He looked both ways before hearing his name being called.

"Ricky?" A familiar voice across the hall asks. He walks closer to the boy.

"Are you okay? I'm.. sorry for what happened." The boy says to a confused Ricky.

It was Zhanghao. The boy he met the other day.

'That's weird. Why does he always appear when im looking for Gyuvin?' Ricky thought.

"Sorry.. for what?" The blonde asks him. Hao sighs. "So you haven't seen it?" He looks to the side for a moment.

Ricky shakes his head slowly, questioning his memory. Hao takes out his phone from his pocket, swiping a few times before showing something to the other boy.

It was a video posted by "Unknown" though Ricky definitely knew who it was.

The video was of him. Ricky and the bullies he dealt with yesterday. Or he thought he did.

The video was so obviously cut to the part where Ricky had slapped Gunwook. But.. how did they get the video back when I deleted it? Did I delete it?

"That bitch..!" Ricky mumbled under his breath. He was angry at himself now.

'Why would I even hit him in the first place..? If I pretended to they would run away either way.' He thought to himself.

Hao put his phone back as Ricky frowned. "I have a question though." The blonde asked him. Hao nodded.

"How do you know I'm innocent if you weren't there?" He asked.

"I was there."

Ricky raised his eyebrows. "What!? Then why wouldn't you stop those idiots?" He said, raising his voice.

"Shh! I wasn't even there when you weren't!" The boy says, waving his hands around. "And you seemed like you already did the job of getting them to run away."

"Well you took a proof photo right?"

"..."

"Zhang Hao!"

"I'm joking, of course I did. I'll send it to you so you can show it to the principal." He exchanged numbers with Ricky.

"Thanks, I wasn't about to let them make me look like the bad guy." He said before running off in a blink of an eye.

"Goodbye to you too.."

Ricky ran inside Gyuvin's classroom in a sweat. "Ricky?" Gyuvin said.

He was sitting at his desk when he saw Ricky coming in. The blonde came over.

"We need to go now." He takes Gyuvin's arm and pulls him up carefully as they start walking towards the principals office.

The younger boy was clueless at first, maybe because he had just woken up from a cat nap, but he understood what they needed to do.

"How are you going to prove that you're innocent?" Gyuvin asked. He had seen the video uploaded since he's always checking his phone.

"There's someone I know who was a witness. Also a life saver" He smiled slightly.

Gyuvin started at the floor in silence.

Ricky lowered his eyes. He was about to ask what was wrong but didn't for some reason.

The two boys entered the principals office after a few minutes of silence.

To their surprise, there was Gunwook and his friend already sitting and talking with the principal. Those.. idiots!

"Could you wait please?" The principal says, waving them away. Before they could say anything, he spotted his blonde hair. "Wait.. nevermind. Boys, he's the one from yesterday, am I right?" He asked Gunwook and his friend group who said nothing.

Ricky sighed quietly. "That's me." He said walked in, suddenly talking a seat as Gyuvin followed.

"Ricky Shen, right? What do you have to say for yourself?" The principal raised his voice, causing Gyuvin to flinch slightly.

Ricky shrugged. "You should be asking them that." He pointed to the bullies. As expected, all they could do was put on that "I don't know what you're talking about" face.

"What do you mean? The poor boy here has shown me enough! Look at the mark you left!"

That part was true. Ricky had left a big mark on Gunwook's cheek. But that was nothing compared to Gyuvin's bruises!

"Oh, you think you're the poor boy here?" Ricky raised his voice. He took out his phone and quickly clicked on the notification where Zhanghao had send him the proof.

Ricky flipped his phone and showed the photo to him. "See that?" He said.

"What.." The principal mumbled. Ricky smirked thinking about the punishment they'll get.

"I am even more disappointed in you!" He yelled back.

The photo was not something Ricky or Gyuvin expected. Zhanghao really wasn't the person Ricky thought.
