Author POV
"So it all began about 3 years ago. Me, San, and Mingi were still in high school. We already knew each other  since middle school. Also we haven't met Jongho at the time, we met him around a year and a half later."

Hongjoong starts out the story.

"Where were you when this happened?"

Yeosang asked.

"I was still in 8th grade probably running around the playground chasing you and Wooyoung."

Everyone laughs at that then Hongjoong continues the story.

"What you probably didn't know is that San actually has a girlfriend at the time. Yes, I know, it's a shocker even for me."

Seonghwa was the most taken aback with that information.

"They started dating in the middle of 10th grade and the relationship was going strong, until one day..."

Hongjoong's face darkens a bit.

"One day his girlfriend was acting strange, she started to hangout lest and lest with him and refused to ever come home together. It gotten worse to the point she wanted to break up with him."

Hongjoong paused to take collect himself while the other waited in anticipation.

"Of course San was devastated but he felt as if she's hiding something from him. So little by little San followed her after school and found out that she's been bullied everyday. San confronted the bully but she just told him to fuck off."

"What, why?"

Yunho ask who also got immerse to the story.

"Turns out she doesn't want the bully to target San as well. Which is stupid cuz there's other way to deal with that."

Hongjoong paused again, takes a breath and continue.

"After a few weeks of San given up on helping her, there was a report that she, killed herself by jumping from a bridge."

Hongjoong almost whispered at the last part.

Seonghwa, Yunho, and Yeosang looked absolutely shock while Jongho and Mingi just sigh recalling the memories.

Suddenly the whole room becomes quiet. They never expected such tragedy happened to someone who seems very happy and jolly in real life. Come to think of it, Wooyoung is also the same. Even after that night he stays the same, but everyone know he's suffering inside.

A sudden sob interrupt the silence in the room. Turns out it's from Seonghwa who's now leaning against Hongjoong trying to hide his face. Hongjoong just patted his head trying to calm him and himself down and finish the story.

"San has been sensitive about this topic ever since. Everytime there's a news about bullying anywhere, he lash out. He calm down nowadays but yesterday he broke again. I was so relieved that Wooyoung manage to calm him down cuz usually it ends up with me, Mingi and Jongho using our fist on him. So if there's anytime where this happens again, please understand why he does."
