Morning

Jeongguk walks through the school entrance, he could already see Yugyeom standing by his locker, inserting his books into his locker. Jeongguk starts to cringe, thinking about the other night.

He approaches his friend, walking up to him with an awkward expression, "Hi." Jeongguk starts making Yugyeom turn his head around and look at Jeongguk.

"Hi, Jeongguk." Yugyeom replies, showing a crooked smile, holding a few books in his arms.

Jeongguk scratches the back of his neck, looking down at the floor at Yugyeom's polished shoes.

They both look away from each other, trying to avoid eye contact, "About the other night..." Yugyeom trails off.

"It didn't mean anything. We were drunk, don't worry about it." Jeongguk clears the waters, clarifying how he felt about the situation.

Yugyeom sighs in relief, holding his chest, "Thank god. I thought you fell for me or something." Yugyeom relieves.

"Me? Never!" Jeongguk laughs a bit too hard, waving off Yugyeom, as he never thought of Yugyeom in that way.

Yugyeom laughs along, "I'm hurt." Yugyeom pretends, holding his heart, looking at Jeongguk sadly.

Jeongguk just laughs, grabbing Yugyeom and placing his arm around Yugyeom's shoulder as they walk down the hallway together.

"Friends?" He questions for Yugyeom's assurance.

"Of course Gukie. You're my only friend." Yugyeom smiles, placing his arm around Jeongguk's shoulder too, latching onto the back of his backpack.

They both walk to class with arms around each other's shoulders, smiling happily together.

"Mum, i'm home!" Jeongguk greets, slipping off his shoes and closing the door behind him as he entered the front door, looking at his surroundings for his mother.

"Jeongguk. Come here, right now." Jeongguk hears a stern voice coming from a different room, causing him to follow it, even though he didn't really want after hearing the tone his mother was using.

He finds his mother sitting by the kitchen bench with papers in front of her and a furious look smeared clean on her face.

"What is this?" She questions angrily, ripping off her glasses, standing up and showing Jeongguk the papers that were on the bench.

Jeongguk squints his eyes and leaning in to take a closer look at the papers his mum was currently showing him. He looks to see it was his report card.

"Were you going through my things?" Jeongguk asks, slightly irritated by how noisy his mother was.

"How could you get such a bad grade? I thought you were better than this!" She scolds, waving and pointing at the Jeongguk's report card in her hands.

"It's just one grade, mum. It will pass." Jeongguk assures, looking away from his mother. She grabs his face roughly, making him look her way.

"How could you be so mindless? It's like you didn't study at all!" She rants, not believing her eyes.

"You are grounded. For two weeks." She states, crossing her arms after letting go of her son's face.

"What?" Jeongguk whines.

"Nope. No words. And start studying." she orders, doing everything to make Jeongguk learn his lesson.

"I don't know what happened to you! I bet you, it was that stupid kid that came to our house last time. He must be giving you a bad influence." She claims, referring to Taehyung who visited recently.
