"What is it--"

"I just called to say I love you."

...

... ...

"Fuck off Jin."

"Aw, Joonie you do care."

"I just literally told you to fuck off."

"Usually you'd hang up instead of replying. We're making progress."

--

"Namjoon save me."

"I'm sick."

"Sandeul's making me do stuff."

"Just do them and get over it."

"Ah but I need strength."

"Get some...?"

"Say you'll be my strength."

"No."

--

The bell rings and Jin groans in relief as he tosses the papers in the air. Sandeul, who has currently taken over Namjoon's work on his behalf, looks up in alarm.

"Jin you're getting it all over the floor." He scolds, watching the documents flutter down to the ground. "Pick them up."

Jin groans, leaning back on his chair with an irritated huff. "No."

"Jin."

"Ugh, I'll pick them up later." He whines, pushing his heels to move his chair back. Sandeul winces when the chair's wheels press on some of the papers below.

"It's so boring without Namjoon here."

Sandeul shrugs, "Apparently with him gone, you're forced to be responsible for your actions."

Jin hums in agreement, playing with the pen in his hands. "Yeah. Can't really run around the halls screaming if he's gone."

"Even if Namjoon is here, I beg you to stop doing that." Sandeul calmly states, tapping his bulk of papers together on the desk. "It distracts the students."

"It gets a few giggles out of them." Jin defends as Sandeul sighs.

"Your stunts get increasingly loud and destructive as the days go by." He says, "I'd appreciate you punching people less as well."

"They deserved it."

Sandeul nods, "Yes, but we're in school. We have adults to deal with them."

"There's this one guy who kept bullying people despite going into the office everytime." Jin says, checking his nails out. "If the adults can't deal with them, then I'm allowed to."

"Then please make it less physical." Sandeul offers, rubbing his temple as he feels a headache coming.

"So..." Jin trails off, giving him a look. "You want me to mentally scar them?"

"Jin no, I meant--"

"Well, bullies are kind of like emotionally constipated monsters." Jin considers, stroking a hand on his chin. "Do you think mental damage would get them to stop?"

"Please don't try to traumatize problem students."

"Hey, they traumatize other people." Jin spins his chair around. "Why not throw it back at 'em, am I right?"

"Your logic for this is...making me worry."

Jin shrugs.
