As Jake and the trio continued to chat, Sunoo suddenly brought up their other friends, Jay, Sunghoon, and Heeseung. The trio gasped in unison, leaving Jake confused.

"What happened, guys? Why are you behaving like this?" Jake asked, looking at them with concern.

Sunoo spoke up, his voice laced with caution. "Look, Jake hyung, please don't mind, but please, if possible, stay away from Heeseung hyung. Don't cross paths with him, or else you'll get hurt."

Jake's eyes widened in shock. "But why, guys? What did I do wrong? And who's this 'heeseung' guy ? Why would he hurt me?"

The trio exchanged nervous glances, unsure of how to break the news to Jake. Ni-ki finally spoke up, his voice barely above a whisper. "Heeseung hyung doesn't like rich people."

Jake's eyes widened further as the pieces fell into place. "So, the guy who was glaring at me was Heeseung hyung? Does he already hate me? I didn't do anything...I didn't even get the chance to say hello...I couldn't even make him my friend."

Jake's panic was palpable, his breathing quickening as he processed the information. Jungwon placed a calming hand on his shoulder. "Okay, calm down, Jake. Take deep breaths."

Ni-ki, however, was undeterred. "We can change it," he said, a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Change what?" Sunoo asked, skepticism etched on his face.

Ni-ki's grin grew wider. "Heeseung hyung hating on rich people. We can change it."

Jungwon's eyes narrowed. "Ni-ki, are you mad or what?"

Ni-ki's enthusiasm was infectious. "No, look, we literally sat at the same table during lunch. You can't literally live without your 'Jay hyung,' and cherry on top, Jake is now our friend. He'll be with us during lunch, right?"

Sunoo's concern was evident. "But don't you think it's risky? What if Heeseung hyung makes a scene?"

Ni-ki's determination was unwavering. "Let's take the risk and see. What do you say, Jake?"

Jake hesitated, unsure of what to do. "I'm not sure, guys...what if I make him uncomfortable?"

Ni-ki's reassurance was immediate. "You won't. Then it's settled. If anything happens, we'll protect you...your three comrades."

As the unlikely friendship between Jake and the trio deepened, they embarked on a mission to change Heeseung's perception of rich people. Little did they know that their actions would set off a chain reaction, one that would challenge everything they thought they knew about friendship, loyalty, and love.

Their plan was to slowly introduce Jake to Heeseung, hoping that their friendship would rub off on him. But as they navigated the complex web of relationships, they realized that changing Heeseung's mind wouldn't be easy.

Heeseung's past experiences had left deep scars, and his hatred for rich people was deeply ingrained. Jake, with his kind heart and gentle nature, was the perfect catalyst for change, but would it be enough?

As they journeyed through the ups and downs of high school life, Jake, Jungwon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki discovered that true friendship knows no bounds. They learned to accept each other's differences and to stand up for what they believed in.

But as they faced numerous challenges, they realized that their friendship was not without its costs. They had to confront their own biases and prejudices, and they had to learn to forgive and forget.

In the end, their unlikely friendship became a beacon of hope, a shining example of what could be achieved when people from different walks of life came together. And as they stood united, they knew that nothing could ever break their bond.
