Later that day.
"Come on Jungwoo just play it" Doyoung said over the computer. "No! what if I die or something?" Jungwoo exaggerated. No way is he playing this toxic game. "Look I'm alive" Doyoung said as he slapped his skin. "It's not that dangerous." Doyoung added. "Yeah for you because your a fucking idiot." Jungwoo rolled his eyes. Never will he play that stupid game.
"Come onnnn have some excitement in that boring life of yours" Doyoung smiled. "Hey! My life is pretty good and exciting okay! I'm actually having more then I was before matter of fact" Jungwoo said with a cocky smile. "Jungwoo, you jumped off a 4 foot rock and said you were rebellious and bragged about it. That isn't exciting" . Jungwoo rolled his eyes with an offended impression printed on his uwu face. "That rock was really high up! And it was scary being that high up"
"IT WAS 4 FEET HIGH"
"YEAH THAT'S SO HIGH UP BRO"
A ding of Jungwoo's phone interrupted the little argument between Him and his best friend. He picked up the phone and saw and email from an art school he desperately wanted to attended. He worked so hard for this and waited so long.
"OH MY GOD. THE SCHOOL EMAILED ME HOLY SHIT"
"OPEN IT HURRY!"
"NO WHAT IF I DONT GET IN!?"
"YOU WILL. YOUR PHOTOS ARE SO GOOD"
"OKAY IM DOING IT"
Jungwoo slid the notification and watched the mail app appear. He clicked on the tab and started reading.
Dear Kim Jungwoo
Thank you for sending your application to attend our school.
It was a difficult decision but I regret to inform you that you were not selected-
Jungwoo didn't need to read the rest. That piercing feeling of sadness impaled his stomach. All the hard work he put into was just flushed down the drain and it was the worst feeling ever.
"Are you okay? What did it say?" Doyoung said noticing that his face became low, unlike the usual happy a smiley one.
"I didn't get in" it was barely a whisper but Doyoung could still hear it.
Jungwoos face turned pale and the sadness couldn't be hidden. The long periods of editing and picture taking were all wasted. He thought there was no point in doing anything anymore.
"What!? Your pictures are fucking lit what kind of university is this!? Probably a shitty one cause they can't see the talent you obviously have!?" Doyoung ranted. Seeing his best friend like this was heartbreaking.
Jungwoo sighed "it's okay I guess. I'll just go for my second choice" he tossed his phone to the side with the still slumped impression printed on his face.
"I'm just gonna go to bed. See you tomorrow" Jungwoo tried to sound at least a bit happy but he just couldn't.
"Okay. Hey don't stress about it, you were too good for them anyway" Doyoung waved goodbye and the called ended.
Jungwoo flopped back onto bed and sighed. Only if I tried harder he said in his head. His life has now come to nothing, he's graduating 2 weeks from now and he doesn't have time to apply for his 2nd choice college it was just too stressful at this.
He pulled up the covers and tried to fall asleep despite the shitty feeling of sadness and embarrassment.

"Wow you look terrible" Yuta said as he flung his arm around Jungwoo's shoulders. "Yeah thanks" Jungwoo responded while moving Yuta's arm "hey why are you being so bitchy? Did something happen?" Yuta asked but was greeted by Jungwoo's deep and angry glare. "Can you please like stop? I'm not in the mood Yuta. Just-just leave gosh" then Jungwoo stomped away leaving Yuta confused.
Jungwoo sat down harshly on the cafeteria table catching the eyes of all his friends next to him. "
"Jungwoo what-"
"Leave me alone"
He didn't mean to come off so harsh but everything thing was going downhill right now and he really didn't want to talk about it nor deal with anyone right now.
"Jungwoo you need to relax. If this is about the thing yesterday then let it go, don't take it out on us" Doyoung said trying to calm Jungwoo down. "I'm just so stress okay. I didn't mean to take it out on you guys but I'm not in a right place right now" Jungwoo explained.
"Yes we get it but you can talk it out with us and we'll listen, hey! Let's all go to the diner down the road after school and we can all get milkshakes!" Sicheng exclaimed
