There was so many questions that were staying unanswered. Will we continue as a band? Could we continue? What should we do with school? Was anything important anymore? No one coould answer these questions. All I know is they were angry, actually more like furious. They wanted blood. They wanted revenge. I tried to ignore it. Avoid the situation. I didn't want to get hung up in more trouble. What was gonna happen when I stepped back into school still ate me away. That question was he only thing going through my head most days. We all haven't been to school in a week. We couldn't bare it. And honestly I didn't want to face this question. I was honestly too scared.

Most days this week, I took walks. Many walks. Walks cleared my head and I could take my time with them. I would put in headphones and listen to music and just walk around. Mostly I listened to angry music because that was the only thing that I could stand. The bruises on my face were still fresh looking and not going anywhere. After a week and still, I look like a weak pathetic girl.

I was on one of my walks, like normal. Walking down some streets, too close to the school. I passed multiple allyways. Most had nothing going on them, besides the ocasional person throughing out daily trash in the morning. It was freezing as normal. I still had Ha Jin's scarf and honestly I didn't want to give it back. Sometimes it was the only thing that kept me warm. And besides, he wasn't asking for it back, even though he's seen it on me a million times since. In fact when he's seen me in it, he always smiles secretly so no one would notice but I notice and it makes me wonder why he's so happy when he sees me in it. So there was no need to hand it back over to him.

I passed another alley way but this time there was commotion. Do Il, Ha Jin, Kyung Jong and Hyun Soo all gathered together. Do Il was beating someone up but I couldn't get a good view of who it was. I moved slightly to the side and saw that it was... Pyo Joo.....

My eyes widened; my breathing hitched, I didn't know how to feel anymore. Now seeing him face to face....

Do Il punched him over and over again. Pyo Joo was now on the floor. Do Il moved and Hyun Soo bent down next to him. I could hear every word Hyun Soo said. "I saw all those nice bruises you gave my little sister. Mess with her again and I swear to God, you'll regret it." Hyun Soo kicked him multiple times in the stomach.

"Hyun Soo...." My voice sounded so small but they all heard me. Every single one of them turned towards me, including Pyo Joo, who quickly looked away. The boys looked surprised to see me standing there. "What's going on?" I asked, walking towards them, the snow under me cracked.

Before I could get them to be civilized again, Do Il picked up Pyo Joo and held him up against the wall. "Get up!"

Just then, Ji Hyuk comes running towards us from the direction I just came from screaming, "No!" Ji Hyuk grabbed Do Il and pulled him back. "We can't be doing this right now. Stop it." His voice was in such a panic.

Hyun Soo pushed Ji Hyuk, angry. "What are you? Have you gone crazy while you were hold up? Back off!"

I couldn't help but stare at Pyo Joo. He looked so beaten up and honestly I didn't know how to feel. I should feel satisfied that he's finally gotten what he's deserved but I didn't. I just felt....I'm not sure how I feel. I felt so conflicted. Pyo Joo couldn't look at me back. For some reason, he just couldn't. But I wanted him to look at me. I wanted him to look at the bruises he made.

Seung Hoon and Maro ran in from the side I came from. "Pyo Joo!" Seung Hoon had called. We all turned to them. They paused and glared and went to Pyo Joo's side. "You all right?" Seung Hoon asked alertly. "Get up." Seung Hoon and Maro helped him up. Seung Hoon looked at us in disgust. "You.....what are you doing?"

Hyun Soo got up in Seung Hoon's face. Oh no...Hyun Soo, stop. "Why? You angry that your friend got beat up? At least your punk friend is still alive-" Ji Hyuk pulled Hyun Soo's hood which pulled Hyun Soo back.
