You Never Walk Alone [1st Draft Ver.]

Chapter 81

"Relatable, dude." Duri spoke, turning around to face Ki-ha.

"Excuse me, I'll have you know that our Ga-eunie is very smart!" Na-young exclaimed.

"Yeah! And so is our Namu!" Hoseok added, side-eyeing Ki-ha.

"Actually, they're both smarter than you both!" Na-young reminded, getting up from her seat to throw an arm across Ga-eun's shoulders and pat Namjoon's shoulder.

"Yeah, well, other than those two, the rest of you are idiots." Ki-ha grumbled, crossing his arms, looking around the room, his twin and Nabi were lost in conversation yet again.

"I think we should report this... as bullying." Hoseok whispered conspiratorally to Na-young, who still had an arm across Ga-eun's shoulders.

Na-young gave a nod, "We absolutely should!"

"Hey! I said nothing!" Duri protested, "He was the one giving all the statements," She pointed at Ki-ha, "I just agreed once!"

"You were an accomplice!" Na-young pointed at Duri accusingly.

"No, I was not!" Duri defended, gasping in mock offence.

"Admit it, Soggy waffle, you were an accomplice in bringing hurt to these poor, innocent people," Ki-ha said dramatically, "And then, together, we will be banished to prison for eternity, where we'll create chaos together for eternity, until they get pissed off and release us!"

"No way in hell am I going to go to prison with you, of all people, Ki-ha." Duri rolled her eyes.

"Oh my god, Duri!" Ga-eun exclaimed, silencing Ki-ha's reply.

"What, Ga-eun?" Duri asked, slightly turning to face her best friend.

"I have never seen someone roll their eyes but have such fondness in them too!" Ga-eun squealed excitedly, "Is there anything you two are not telling us~?" She asked.

"Actually, yeah," Duri replied non-chalantly, "We're hiding the fact that we think you all are idiots."

"You aren't hiding that though." Na-young frowned as she went back to her seat.

"Yeah, you and Ki-ha just bullied... us about it." Hoseok joined in.

"I— uh, well... there's nothing else." Duri stuttered, looking down at her desk.

Ga-eun looked at Duri with an unimpressed look before turning to Namjoon and giving him a nod.

Namjoon immediately turned to Ki-ha, "Ki-ha-ssi," He called out with a smirk, "Is there something that you think... we should know?"

"Nope! As the vice president of the WAWC, I hide nothing." Ki-ha smiled back.

"Riight, so could you please explain to me why you just made... up a lifelong plan to spend jail time with Duri-ssi after Hobi and Na-young... threatened to report your bullying nature?" Namjoon asked, "If there is nothing to hide," He added with a not-so-innocent smile.

"Because he's an idiot too, obviously." Duri scoffed, Ga-eun's eyes immediately narrowed at the scoff.

"Duri, stop trying, there is literally so much affection in that scoff." Ga-eun said.

"Wh— There is no such thing in my scoff! How do you even know the components of a scoff?!" Duri fumbled, desperately trying to defend herself.

"That's something too complicated for your tiny brain, Duri-yah," Ga-eun patted her best friend's head, "For now, tell me, when Ki-ha made a lifelong prison plan with you, you objected to going to prison with him but never opposed the lifelong part of it," She reminded, "Could you explain to me why that was?"
