3rd person's POV:

The next day, Woonhak walks into school with a sense of trepidation. He's not sure how his friends will react after yesterday's outburst, but as he sees them waiting for him by the lockers, he's relieved.

Riwoo smiles and nods in greeting, and the others follow suit. They don't say anything about the previous day's events, but Woonhak can sense a newfound understanding and empathy from them.

As they head to class, Woonhak feels a weight lift off his shoulders. He knows he still has a long way to go, but with his friends by his side, he feels like he can face anything.

In class, they exchange subtle smiles and nods, a silent understanding passing between them.

At lunchtime, they sit together, chatting and laughing like nothing's wrong. But Woonhak knows that everything's changed. They've seen him at his worst, and they're still here for him.

As they finish lunch, Riwoo turns to him and says, "Hey, Woonhak? We're here for you, no matter what. You know that, right?"

Woonhak nods, feeling a lump form in his throat. "Yeah, I know. Thanks, guys. I don't know what I'd do without you."

The others nod in agreement, and for a moment, they just sit there, enjoying each other's company.

Woonhak knows that he still has tough days ahead, but with his friends by his side, he feels like he can face anything. He's grateful for their unwavering support and friendship, and he knows that he'll always be there for them, no matter what.

Riwoo's POV:

As the day goes on, I keep a close eye on Woonhak. He seems more relaxed, more himself, and I'm relieved. I know he's still struggling, but I'm proud of him for facing his demons head-on.

In class, I catch his eye and smile, trying to reassure him that everything's okay. He smiles back, and I can see the tension in his shoulders ease.

After lunch, we have a free period, and I suggest we study together. Woonhak agrees, and we find a quiet spot in the library.

As we study, I notice Woonhak's focus wavering. He's staring off into space, his eyes clouded with worry.

I put a hand on his arm, trying to bring him back to reality. "Hey, Woonhak? You okay?"

He nods, but I can tell he's not.

I try to distract him with small talk, but my mind keeps wandering back to yesterday's events. I'm worried about him, worried that he's going to crack under the pressure.

But as we pack up to leave, Woonhak turns to me and smiles. "Thanks, Riwoo. Just being around you guys makes me feel better."

I smile back, feeling a sense of pride and purpose. "Anytime, Woonhak. We're in this together."

As we walk out of the library, I know that I'll do whatever it takes to support Woonhak through this tough time. He's my friend, and I won't let him face his struggles alone.

As the day winds down, I can feel a sense of relief wash over me. Woonhak seems more stable, more like himself, and I'm grateful for that.

But as we're walking out of school, I notice Jaehyun lagging behind, looking thoughtful. I fall back to walk with him, curious about what's on his mind.

"Hey, Jaehyun, what's up?" I ask, trying to sound casual.

Jaehyun looks at me, his eyes serious. "I was just thinking about Woonhak. He's really struggling, isn't he?"

I nod, feeling a sense of concern. "Yeah, he is. But we're here for him, right?"

Jaehyun nods, but his expression doesn't change. "I know. It's just...I feel like we're not doing enough. Like we're just standing by while he falls apart."

I put a hand on his shoulder, trying to reassure him. "We're doing everything we can, Jaehyun. We're here for him, we're supporting him...what more can we do?"

Jaehyun shrugs, looking uncertain. "I don't know. But I feel like there's something more we can do, something to really help him."

I nod, making a mental note to talk to the others about this. Maybe we can brainstorm some ways to support Woonhak even more.

As we catch up to the others, I glance over at Woonhak, feeling a sense of determination. We'll get through this together, as friends.
