Joey backed up against the wall, Hosuh turning to face him terrified. "Y-You have to go. Go turn yourself in! P-Please!"

"What?! Are you insane!!!??? NO!"

"I'm not the insane one!! You're the one that killed someone!!!"

Joey stood there, staring at Hosuh- pure betrayal in his eyes. His expression turned from shock to anger. "Ok. Ok. I see you. That's how you wanna be? Fine."

"I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean for it to be said like---"

"No. I understand." Joey groaned, shoving past and walking out of the room. 

"W-Wait! Maybe if you just..." Hosuh looked down, his eyes filling with tears.

"No, Hos. You had a point- I killed someone. So I have to face the police to take responsibility for killing someone. So just let me go. Let me go if you feel that's the best thing to do."

"Well... it is but--"

"Then it's settled. Let me go." Hosuh ran after Joey as he left to the front door, stepping out with his hands up.

"Wait! Joey!!!" Hosuh hugged him from behind, holding him tightly. "P-Please..." he whispered. The police officers walked over with their guns up, two of the officers pulling Hosuh away.  "J-Joey! Nooo!" he cried out as his older brother was taken away.

"Don't fight, Hosuh! Don't fight them!" Joey called before he was put in the police car.

The officers got in their cars, driving away- leaving Hosuh crying for his brother. "J-Joey.... you idiot...." he whispered, tears running down his cheeks. Sachi's car drove up, parking out front. She stepped out, immediately seeing Hosuh was broken. She ran over, taking him in her arms. "W-Why...?" he whispered.

"What?"

"Why did you report him!!??" Hosuh shouted, pushing away, tears running down his cheeks.

"I had to! He killed someone!!!"

"But you had the choice not to!!!!"

"But that would be bad if I just kept it a secret!!!!" Sachi shouted, making Hosuh's eyes widen.

He shook his head, his eyebrows furrowed. "Go back home. You're not welcome here." Hosuh huffed, turning away and walking to the door.

"W-What?"

"I said leave!!! I don't want you here!!!" Hosuh exclaimed, going into the house- slamming the door shut.

Sachi stood there, looking down ashamed. She sighed, watching as the police cars disappeared into the distance. She looking down and over at her car. "Did I do the right thing...?"

Joey sat in his cell, his arms crossed as he thought about the betrayal he experienced. With his little brother and his friend. He sat there, watching as security guards walked past.
