"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Taehyung was left unimpressed as Jaemin was cursing at him loudly in an empty classroom as he wanted to leave but him denied him from doing so as he was to be investigated. The next few students were awaiting as well as Sihyeon kept an eye on them. Gyuri was waiting for Eunbin to speak for the longest time, but that girl was super intelligent despite copying off answers for her tests.

She crossed her arms and denied to speak whatsoever as she crossed her legs as well since she was disinterested into Gyuri staring at her unpleasantly. Eunbin glanced at her fingertips before responding back with a sassy attitude, "I won't speak unless I get my lawyer in here."

"You think you're so smart.....if the other students decide to speak up, you will need to respond to some questions since we are continuing to gather information."

Jaemin, on the other hand, was screaming angrily as he declared to get his lawyer on the spot. Both of the officers knew that these two were the most guilty out of everyone that was to be interrogated. Mothers and fathers were angrily pleading to get their children out, but Sihyeon denied access as she knew that most of them already knew what their children have done.

Gyuri dismissed Eunbin to a classroom where she would be left alone while she waited for her lawyer as she called in Jinyoung as she specifically wanted to talk to him. He also did not want to speak at all as Gyuri closed all her files before speaking up, "I want to have a honest conversation with you. Why you decided to betray your friend and selected a choice that would bring more despair than happiness."

"Who said that I'm in despair? Who said he was my friend?"

"Everyone that saw you guys together. Despair...I've seen it all when I talk to students.....you think that the dreams will stop one day when you get the chance to see the rising sun and falling sunset?"

Gyuri slowly stood up to rest her body against the table which it kind of intimidated the younger student as he stared more at the walls without wanting to look at the officer at all. She continued to speak as she rested her hands on the table to stare out the window, "You know what's worse? When those nightmares don't seem to ever end...they seem to worsen... they start to eating you alive..."

She stopped glancing outside the window as her face darkened as she turned to stare right at Jinyoung as she coldly added, "How it feels when something that you cared for and something that you wanted to badly just slipped from your hands....and you feel so angry and regretful and hated...what if the other students decide to push it all against you..."

Jinyoung's ears perked at the last sentence as he suddenly stared at Gyuri worriedly as he widened his eyes as he responded quickly, "They can't. Not after they tricked me."

Gyuri knew she got him in a loophole as she made her way to sit down at the desk as she asked carefully, "They tricked you? That's not fair."

Jinyoung bit his lips as he looked up with tears rolling down his anger-filled eyes as he hesitated on whether he should tell the truth. Gyuri was well aware that the moment Jinyoung's shell cracked, the others would have to crack theirs as well which would make it difficult for Eunbin and Jaemin to deny their crimes. He stared his own hands with anxiety as he glanced outside for a moments to recollect his thoughts as Gyuri waited patiently. He took a deep breathe before he wiped the tears from his eyes as he replied weakly, "Okay. I'll tell my side of the story, but you must promise me one thing."

"What is that?"

"Protect Junho at all costs. He did nothing wrong. He tried to stop us, but he knew that he couldn't."

"I swear on it."

Jinyoung's head ached vigorously as he was so drunk last night, he barely remembered a single thing. He however remembered the details of how he called Eunbin and Jaemin, and he confidently flaunted whatever was running in his mind. He shook his head with a groan as he turned his head to stare at a note on his desk.

"Please eat the soup. And also, I hope you don't do any of the things towards Sanha. You are going to regret it for sure, and I would rather not see you get charged for something so petty like that."

Jinyoung rolled his eyes and crumbled the paper instantly as he threw it across the room. He wandered around Junho's place as Junho managed to convince him to stay at his place so that he wouldn't cause any trouble. The junior president was not currently at home since he was working on extracurricular activities that the teachers wanted him to participate. He heated the soup up before he made his way towards Junho's bedroom again as he changed into fresh clothes as he left Junho's place.

His parent were both out working so Jinyoung didn't care about the noise that he was making as he made his way towards the pharmacy to get some medicine to help ease his headache. He sat down in front of the pharmacy to take the medicine, basking in the sunlight as he was trying to remember all the details that took place.

He remembered that Sanha would probably be around since Woojin's pub was around Junho's home. He glanced around before he threw his medicine in the trash before wandering his way around the streets until he arrived to the pub. The afternoon was already settling in as he remembered that Sanha would work near in the evenings. He was also aware that Sanha would work on the weekends. He hid behind a pole as he saw Junho and Sanha both walking from the same direction.

Jinyoung felt his own blood boiling as Sanha and Junho seemed to be in a deep, serious conversation as he then saw Sanha patting Junho's shoulder before he made his way into the pub. Before Jinyoung could expose himself, he then saw both Woojin and Sanha walking out where Junho was before handing him a small bag. Junho thanked them both before he checked the bag quietly once more before turning his back around to walk away. Sanha and Woojin both smiled each other as they gave each other a high five, before they both made their way inside the pub.

Jinyoung knew that Junho would never talk with Sanha, so it was very obvious that something between the two was taking place. He stormed his way back towards Junho's place as he wanted to find the other with the bag still so that he could find out what it was. But when he arrived, Junho was not at home so it was difficult to start asking questions to other since Junho disliked being asked where he was.

Jinyoung balled his hand into a fist as he felt his whole insides burning up immediately as he remembered the deal that he talked about with Jaemin. He glanced at the bright sun as he felt like no one was on his side anymore. Even Junho was hiding things from him when he probably was hanging out with Sanha rather than being at school.

He felt his insides turn violently as he turned his attention towards his cell phone where an unknown number was calling him. He knew exactly who it was as he answered the phone discretely as he left Junho's place in fury, "Let's write up a new deal."

Jaemin's voice immediately boomed with a sinister laugh as he replied back darkly, "Excellent."
