JeongGuk nervously played with his sleeves, not looking at HoSeok. He was well aware that he did wrong, but he was afraid what his friend would think. He didn't want to lose him, but now he was expecting it. He did something he shouldn't, something awful, and he had to take consequences.

"Well... You see..." It didn't want to go through his throat but JeongGuk had to be a man and admit his mistakes. "I told him to stay away from you." He said it quickly, wanting to be over with it.

"You did what?!" HoSeok yells, but quickly stopped as he didn't want to wake the sleeping boy up. Luckily Neon's parents weren't at home now, to hear his scream. "How could you?

"Cause I thought that..."

"That he's the same as his brother? That it'll end the same way? Didn't you noticed how he behave at school? That behavior isn't any act. Didn't you though to, I don't know, maybe get to know him? JeongGuk, I totally understand that you went through a family tragedy, really. I don't blame you, you have right to feel hurt and dislike that family, but as there is someone innocent, who wasn't involved in all that mess, you should've at least give him a chance instead of judging him from the start." Said Jung. "What if you weren't there? What if he really jumped off that bridge?"

"I know, I know. I know I did wrong. I feel absolutely awful with it, but I can't turn back in time and prevent it. But if I'll can I try to fix this mistake. I have nothing to my defense, no excuse. I'm at fault and I'm well aware." Jeon agreed with the older. "I should've listened to you, but I didn't, I'm sorry. If SeokJin will let me, I apologize to him too. I know it won't change anything, but a least I want to show him that I regret my doings."

"I don't know. I'll talk to him when he wakes up. I don't know how he'll feel. And now I also have to think some things through. I'm disappointed at you JeongGuk." HoSeom finished, before coming back into the room where SeokJin slept, soon lying down beside him.

JeongGuk was left alone on the corridor, wanting nothing more than to the ground to swallow him. If he only for once listen to others than to his own knowledge. And now he didn't know if he'll be able to fix what he destroyed. Even though HoSeok didn't said that, Guk knew that their friendship too is almost about to break.
