Twenty One

"We shouldn't have left them," Eunwoo said, panting. "Let's go back,"

Bin grabbed his wrist, "No! If we go back, we'll all be goners."

"They're our friends, Bin! You can't just expect me to leave them there,"

"Do you want your father to find out what happened?"

Eunwoo looked to where they came from then back at Bin, "As long as my friends are safe, I don't care."

"Eunwoo!" Bin called out.

The latter turn around, "You love Hyemi right? Aren't you worried about her?"

Bin sighed, admitting the truth, "I do. Fine. Let's go."

The ambulance arrived and the victims were all taken to a stretcher.

Hyemi was shaking and MJ tried his best to calm her down.

"If I see Bin and Eunwoo again, I swear, I will choke them for leaving us here,"

"They're stupid," Hyemi muttered, crying. "I hate them!!"

MJ knew why her emotions were over the top. She felt like she was stab in the back by her most trusted friend and by him – who Hyemi has loved all these years. They left them there, and she didn't know what to feel – to be hurt or be angry.

They were taken to a police station. It was almost eleven o'clock.

"I- I did it. I was the one responsible," MJ admitted, looking down on the ground.

"MJ," Hyemi whispered, holding his hand. "What are you doing?"

MJ looked at her, it was obvious he was scared but he was staying strong for her, "I have to do this."

"Your name?" The police asked, his name tag says Officer Yoo.

"Kim Myungjun,"

The officer's head perched up, "You're Officer Kim's son?"

MJ nodded, "Yes."

"I'll write this in the report then," Officer Yoo muttered. "Who do you want to call to take you out?"

"My dad," MJ answered. "He's supposed to back here now,"

"What's the commotion outside?" MJ heard his father's voice and looked away. "Hyemi? MJ?"

"Mr. Kim," Hyemi stood up, bowing. "I can explain."

"No, I'll tell you," MJ cut in – knowing that Hyemi was going to sell Bin and Eunwoo out, and the last thing MJ wants is a drama with their parents.

"How do we get in?" Eunwoo asked, behind the bushes.

"Easy. We walk in," Bin answered, standing up.

"You don't get it, do you?" Eunwoo sighed. "Fine, come on."

They were about to walk in when they saw Eunwoo's uncle walking in with a man and a woman.

"What's your uncle doing here?" Bin asked as Eunwoo shrugged.

They waited for about 30 minutes before his uncle went out again, followed by MJ, Hyemi and MJ's dad.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kim, but they want to press charges," Uncle Daesung explained. "Plus the car's-"

"We'll pay for the insurance," MJ's dad looks at his son. "You said you were driving Bin's car? Does Bin know about this?"

MJ nodded, "He let me borrow his car to take Hyemi home,"

Uncle Daesung smelled something fishy, "And why weren't Bin and Eunwoo there? I thought the four of you do everything together,"

"They went to an arcade," Hyemi lied. "They said to return for them after MJ drops me home,"

Eunwoo bit his lip as Bin looked down. They were covering for them, and they're here hiding – covered in bushes.

"Hyemi!" Mrs. Yoon suddenly arrived, along with her husband. "Oh, Hyemi! You're okay, right? Nothing happened to you."

"I'm fine mom," Hyemi said, hugging her mother.

"Mr. Kim, I truly apologize for this incident," Mr. Yoon said. "What can I do to help?"

Uncle Daesung answered, "Well, they wanted to talk about this in court,"

"But they're minors!" Mrs. Yoon exclaimed.

"Exactly, but MJ was drinking while driving which means he broke the law,"

The parents looked at each other, disappointed. Hyemi and MJ watched as their parents talk over the trial.

Eunwoo and Bin were forced to watch the scene, too scared to even walk up and admit their mistake.
