- "I'll see you tomorrow!", JiHoon yelled to his teacher before leaving the classroom. Taeil gave him a warm smile before the young man disappeared. He was the last student left, so he turned to his computer. The chat box was still there, almost begging him to type...

So he put his fingers on the tiles and wrote the following message:《I have the access to every file in your computer. I can make you do whatever I want you to: If something leaks out, it will be because you didn't do something I asked.》

Taeil linked a folder to his message. An unnamed folder, but JiHo perfectly knew what is was.

JiHoon almost ran out of his english class when the bell finally rang. School was off, and now JiHo was sleeping over at his apartment. Strange, how an high school student had his own appartment. But when you understand his background, you understand the reason behind his way of living. Anyway, he went to his locker, got his things and put them inside his flashy green backpack. Minutes later, he was in the school hall, waiting for his friend. Zico was always late, so it wasn't really a surprise when the blond guy appeared, fifteen minutes after the end of his class.

- "Finally you're here", JiHoon said, looking like a worried mother. The oldest laughed and playfully punched his friend on the shoulder.

- "Yeah, had something to clear with my french teacher...", JiHo said with a grin. He took his car's keys out of his pocket and started walking toward the exit.

- "What was that smile for?"

- "Oh, I'll explain it to you later. When you'll be older and when you'll have a girlfriend!"

Both of them bursted out laughing, already outside and now walking toward the parking lot. JiHoon even had to stop to take his breath and wipe off his tears. They finally got into JiHo's car, the blond guy's arms wrapped around his abs. Pyo finally found his serious back and looked at his best friend.

- "Did you really like... You slept with your teacher?"

Zico started laughing again. A light laugh this time, since his ribs were still sensible.

- "Yeah, I fucked her. It's not the first time though. When I was a freshman, just a little younger than you, she was TaeWoon's french teacher. When my brother presented her to me... It clicked. So basically I fuck her on a daily basis since my first year here." Seeing JiHoon's shocked face, JiHo laughed and patted his friend's arm. "Hey, don't make that face. Cute as you are and with a best friend as popular as me, you'll fuck tons of girls in this school. Don't worry", he said as he was starting the engine.

Zico got out of the parking and started the radio, his speakers now blarring PSY's "Year of 77". Even though he never went to Pyo's apartment, he knew where was the street he lived on, so it was easier to find. After a five minutes long ride, they finally stopped in front of...

JiHo's house.

He excused himself and ran to his house. He enterred, kissed his umma's cheek and walked upstairs. He put clothes in one of his bags, his toothbrush, his makeup, his phone charger and (most importantly), his pot. He hid it in his pockets, and took his laptop with him. Even though he was having troubles with his anti-virus (he thought someone pranked him into thinking he was being hacked), he had some funny pictures and videos to show to his best friend. When he got downstairs, his mother turned to him.

- "Woo JiHo, where are you going like that?"

- "At Pyo's apartment. I'll sleep there."

She smiled a bit.

- "Alright... But don't be late for school tomorrow. Saranghaeyo, Zico-ni."

He left another kiss on her cheek then flew out of the house like a storm. He took his place back into the car, fastened his seatbelt and made his motor roar. Goddammit, he liked this sound. After driving for two minutes, he finally remembered he put the pot in his jacket's pocket. He took it out and threw it on his friend.

- "There you go, buddy. 100 grams of pure happiness... You'll see, it's the best one you could ever buy around here."

It was alright 6 PM. Pyo had his face against the oven's window, looking expectantly at the pizza he put in it ten minutes earlier. Zico took another puff out of their second cigarette of joy. His laptop was slowly waking up, and he passed the joint to his friend.

- "Bro, I'll have something to show you. It's weird, like someone's hacking my PC or something. It's kind of funny since I know it's not a true hacker, it's probably someone I know who wants to trick me."

Pyo got up and took a drag of the marijuanna. He gave it back to his friend and leaned on his shoulder. The chatbox had appeared, and the text Mr. Lee wrote earlier too. JiHo read the message, eyebrows knitted. JiHoon pointed the affiliated file.

- "What's that?", asked the youngest.

The blond guy opened wide eyes when he recognize the video.

- "Nothing. A video I would like to keep private, you know."

JiHo starred at his blank composition area. He sighed and closed his eyes after writing:《What do you want me to do?》and pressing 'Enter'.

The hacker answered, couple of seconds later:

《Bring some of your famous pot to school. This 'shit' seems awfully good.》
