Wednesday is usually a difficult day on it's own. The middle of the week. Reminding you the day you got through but also reminding you of the days you still need to get through. Being the third day back at school, students are still adjusting while the teachers feel like they already know everything they need to know about their students. With devastating memories back into his head, Huijun dreaded going back to school. He hated Seongjun for bringing up Ji-Tae but he did bring up a valid thought. Something that will be stuck in Huijun's mind for the rest of the day. Does Ms. Park really think Huijun had something to do with Ji-Tae's passing?

It was a silent ride to school. Seongjun feared if he said anything regarding the day before, Huijun would break down again. Junhyuk and Seungmin followed Seongjun's silence. Even if the silence made the car ride seem like forever, it was worth not getting Huijun upset.

The boys remained silent after arriving at school. Getting out one by one, they entered the school in unison and made sure to see that Huijun was by them at all times. Seungmin stopped which caused the rest of the boys to stop. Seungmin turned around to come face to face with an out of breath Minjae.

"I tried to catch up with you guys for a good twenty seconds. You guys walk freakishly fast." Minjae said in between breaths.

"I guess we do. Anyway, what's up?" Seungmin asked.

"Well I kinda overheard some kids say things about why Ms. Park is treating Huijun the way she is." Minjae replied.

"Not to be rude but who are you?" Junhyuk asked Minjae.

"Junhyuk." Seongjun said through his gritted teeth.

"Oh it's fine. I'm Minjae. I have class with Huijun." Minjae said.

"Junhyuk? Huijun mentioned you before. You're a great artist." Minjae said complementing Junhyuk.

"Thank you." Junhyuk answered a little confused.

"Well Minjae, can you tell us what you've been hearing?" Seungmin asked facing Minjae.

"Right. I've overheard that she's upset because she thinks Huijun knows something about what happened to some kid named Park Ji-Tae."

That name caught Huijun's attention. He didn't want to cry, let alone cry in front of his new friend who didn't know about Ji-Tae. After hearing what Minjae said, Seungmin, Junhyuk and Seongjun quickly turned to look at Huijun. Seungmin excused himself and took Huijun into the bathroom to calm down.

"Did I say something wrong? I didn't mean to upset him." Minjae apologetically told Seongjun and Junhyuk.

"You had no idea so I doubt he'll hold it against you." Junhyuk assured Minjae.

The bell rang loudly in the halls warning students to get to class.

"We'll see you around Minjae." Seongjun told Minjae before leaving with Junhyuk.

"So I was right." Seongjun told Junhyuk.

"Don't be insensitive hyung but yes. I guess you were right." Junhyuk said, rolling his eyes at his hyung.

"Splash water on your face. Please don't stress yourself on if it's true or not. Minjae is here so let him know what's bothering you." Seungmin said calmly.

Huijun splashed water on his face then wiped it off with his arm. He followed his hyung out of the bathroom. Seungmin escorted Huijun to his class then ran off to his own.

"No Huijun, what a pleasant surprise. Where is your assignment from yesterday?" Ms. Park asked, stopping her lesson to see Huijun enter the classroom now a few minutes late.

He pulled out the assignment and went up to her. He placed the assignment on the desk before turning around, putting his head down and heading towards his desk. Without warning, the student who previously tripped him, pushed Huijun hard enough to where Huijun flipped over an empty desk. Minjae was the only one to get into action while the rest of their classmates were dying of laughter. Minjae grabbed his things, went up to Huijun and took him to the bathroom where Huijun originally came from. Ms. Park yelled for them to get back and sit down but they were already on their way to the bathroom.
