[UNBREAKABLE BONDS] (Yeonjun X Beomgyu)

Chapter 13 : The trap Tightens

Beomgyu’s heart raced as he arrived at school. His stomach felt uneasy, and he couldn’t shake off the strange tension in the air. He kept thinking about Yeonjun’s "request" to take those documents from the principal's office. It’s all fine, he told himself. Hyung knows best. But the moment he entered the school grounds, something felt off.

As he approached his classroom, the school intercom buzzed.

❝ Choi Beomgyu from class 379 of school building report to the principal's office immediately ❞.

His blood ran cold. Why would the principal want to see me? He barely had time to process it before he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was his friend.

Friend: Go on Beomgyu I'm sure it's not something hard.

Beomgyu nodded, trying to calm the sudden storm in his chest. As he walked down the long corridor to the principal’s office, each step felt heavier than the last.

Inside the office, Principal Kim was sitting at his desk, a stern expression on his face. Beomgyu swallowed hard and knocked on the door.

Mr.Kim: Come in.
the principal called, his voice cold.

As soon as Beomgyu stepped in, he knew something was wrong. The principal looked more furious than he'd ever seen him.

Mr.Kim: Beomgyu
Principal Kim began, leaning forward, Mr.Kim: Can u explain to me why confidential documents were taken from my office without my permission yesterday?.

Beomgyu froze. What? Confidential documents? His mind raced back to what Yeonjun had asked him to do. He had thought it was something harmless, just an errand for his older brother. But now, the principal’s tone felt like a hammer crashing down on him.

Bg: I-I...don't know
Beomgyu stammered, his voice trembling.

Mr.Kim: Don't lie to me!
the principal snapped.
Mr.Kim: I saw on the CCTV that a student from class 379 taking them & it was u! Do u realize how serious is this?  Thus is stealing Beomgyu!

Bg: I didn't mean to—
Beomgyu tried to explain, but his words were cut off.

Mr.Kim: I'm gonna to call your brother now & I'm sending a letter to your parents. How dare u?  do u know I can expell from this school right now if I want.
Principal Kim said, shaking his head.

Beomgyu felt his heart sink. Yeonjun is my guardian here… what will he think of me? But what worried him even more was the thought of his dad finding out.

Just then, Yeonjun arrived at the office, his expression a mix of concern and confusion—perfectly acted, of course.
Yj: what's wrong Mr.Kim?
he asked with just the right amount of surprise in his voice.

The principal sighed deeply.
Mr.Kim: your brother Beomgyu stolen some highly sensitive documents from my office yesterday. This is a serious matter I've already informed your parents

Beomgyu’s heart sank even further. The thought of his dad getting that letter made him feel sick. He couldn't bear disappointing his father.

Yeonjun placed a comforting hand on Beomgyu’s shoulder,
Yj: Mr.Kim I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding Beomgyu wouldn't do something like this intentionally right Beomie?

Beomgyu, his eyes brimming with tears, nodded.
Bg: I didn't mean to....I don't know...

The principal wasn’t moved.
Mr.Kim: Intentional or not the damage is done you'll have to face the consequences.
