"You are up for that race tonight?" Donghyuck lightly kicked his friend in the arms, gaining his attention. Donghyuck was lying down on the old and torn couch, while the other sat on the ground, back leaned against the couch. Both chilling out on the rooftop during lunch hour.

The boy looked up from his game, a deep frown creases on his forehead. "You said it was a one-time thing,"

Donghyuck pouted, sighing. "I felt like it, I enjoyed the adrenaline rush in me while I stepped on the gas. It feels-" He crosses his hands to rub it against his arms, "-good,"

The other boy chuckled, "Fine, but don't tell my parents about it,". Donghyuck cocked his head to the side, "They are that strict?"

"My parents don't own a car company like yours, they own a freakin hospital. Imagine them finding me bleeding from an illegal race," The boy had to annoyingly roll his eyes, Donghyuck just nods.

"But that hyungs of mine are really good at arranging good races,"

He sighed, "But accidents can always happen. I'm just taking safety precautions, surely my parents will throw me out from our house once they found out about it,"

Donghyuck reached out to ruffles the boy's dark hair, grinning as he laughed, "Secret is safe with me, Choi Soobin,"

The principal stood right in front of the classroom, a long wooden stick in his hands as he stared down the two students standing.

Soobin and Donghyuck both had their hands behind their back.

The whole class was silent, waiting for the next word the principal would spill. "Who started it first?" The older man's voice turned hard and cold, he was never like that, he was always, lovely but not that day.

Both of them keep their silence, head down. The principal sighed as he put his hands on the teacher's table, leaning his weight on it, frustrated enough that the two didn't answer him. "Choi Soobin?"

Soobin remained silent, biting on his lips. He remembered they made a promise on that, and he's not the type to break promises.

The principal shifted his gaze on Donghyuck, wanting to get to the answers fast. He didn't expect such a good model student like Donghyuck would get involved in the unholy activity. "Lee Donghyuck?"

Donghyuck's heart pounded harshly against his ribcage when the principal annoumced that their parents had to come to school if they didn't speak up.
