<Sunghoon catches Jay after school to chat>

SH: Hey Jay.                    Jay:  Sunghoon, what are you doing here?

SH: I thought we can chat before we head back.            Jay: Ok, sure. What's up?

SH: Do you remember the chicken game Jake and I were playing a few days ago when you interrupted us?

Jay:  Yeah, what about it?           SH: Did Jake ask you to come in after 15 mins?

Jay:<nervous, looks away> Hm....Let me think.  It was more like 20 mins. <then covers his mouth realizing he made a mistake> I mean no.

SH: ok, Jay, I didn't think so.    Jay: You figured it out already didn't you?

SH: Yeah, I just wanted to confirm it with you.    He baited me into talking to him, and mid-way I realized we were in a game of chicken, and I wondered how he was going to get out of it.  There were only 3 outcomes, he was going to execute what he started, he was extremely lucky that you interrupted us, or he planned it with you to get out of it.

Jay: I'm not good at these mind games.  Why were you ignoring him? 

SH: Testing the water, see what he was going to do?  Interesting.

Jay: So do I need to keep this a secret?    

SH: No, he already knows you were going to spill the beans.  I just didn't figure it out fast enough to call it at the scene of the crime.

Jay: What crime?        SH: Toying with my emotions.   This is punishable.

Jay: I don't think that's what he was doing.  I think he just wanted to be able to talk to you again.

SH: Bullsh*t.  He tempted me, and I showed my cards.    

Jay: I thought you guys were besties and soulmates.  

 SH: We are, but that's beside the point.  He played me.               

Jay: Isn't that what you do to him half the time?    SH: So what's your point?

Jay: What are you going to do to him?   SH: Something delish.

Jay: You're going to eat him?        SH: No Jay, that's just a metaphor.

Jay: So what, pray tell?

SH: So I can't tell you or I would need to kill you, because you would give it up in a second.  The punishment would need to fit the crime.  It has already started. 

Jay: You're too scary Sunghoon.  That's why I don't mess with you.

<That night>

Jay: <Jay txt Jake in fear for Jake's life> expect retribution, anonymous.

Jake: <no response, Jake was already asleep>
