HAEWON
JAEMIN MY BABY PLS TELL ME YOU'RE JOKING

JENO
...

HYUCK
...

JAEMIN
...

JAEMIN
i wish i would...

SOOYUN
how come you got suspended...??

SOOYUN
it's so weird and so out of the blue

HAEWON
exactly

HAEWON
everyone knows that you are a good person

JAEMIN
let me explain

JAEMIN
i was called into the principal office and he told me about the allegations against me

JAEMIN
rumors say that i sell and deal drugs in school

JISUNG
????!!!

RENJUN
you? dealing drugs? funny joke

RENJUN
only dumb people would believe this bullshit

MARK
REAL ❗️❗️

JENO
exactly my thoughts

JAEMIN
i told the principal that i'm innocent and that the rumors about me are false

JAEMIN
to prove my innocence i had to show him my bag but...

JAEMIN
drugs were found in my bag

YEJOON
WHAAAAAT

CHENLE
THINGS AREN'T ADDING UP ⁉️

JISUNG
i-

JAEMIN
i have never seen these drugs in my bag before... i still don't know how they got there

JAEMIN
but well, then i got suspended... for i don't know how many weeks

JAEMIN
the principal has to investigate more in my case to decide how harsh the punishment will be

JAEMIN
i will either have a mild punishment. means i would only be suspended until the end of winter break or possibly longer

JAEMIN
or i might get expelled in the worst case...

RENJUN
HOLD UP WHAT

YEJOON
THIS CANT BE

CHENLE
NAH UH NOT ON MY WATCH

HAEWON
I'M GONNA EXPEL THE PRINCIPAL OUT OF THE SCHOOL IDGAF

MARK
dude the headmaster cannot do it tf???

MARK
i will start a protest and petition for you to stay at our school

HYUCK
i would join you mark

RENJUN
everyone would tbh

SOOYUN
who wouldn't?

MARK
that's the real question

JAEMIN
aww guys...

JAEMIN
thank you for taking my side and showing your support :(

RENJUN
ofc!! you were always supportive towards us, it's our turn now

JISUNG
totally agreeing!!

MARK
we got your back bro

CHENLE
i will do everything in my might to prevent jaemin getting kicked out of our school

CHENLE
i have my connections and the principal can't do anything against it idc

SOOYUN
how are you feeling jaemin? ):

JAEMIN
i feel so sad and also mad at the headmaster and whoever put the drugs in my bag... but i feel better after having texted you guys

JAEMIN
thank you all :( 🩷

MARK
we gotchu man 🔥🫶

RENJUN
this ^

HAEWON
exactly!!

JAEMIN
much love to everyone :( <3

JAEMIN
i have also told my parents about it and they know that i would never do something like that

JAEMIN
they assume that there must be someone who's trying to frame me

JAEMIN
but yeah, my parents will have a talk with the principal in the next few days

CHENLE
and we'll help you out as much as possible

CHENLE
promise 🤞

JAEMIN
chenle my baby 😭😭

JAEMIN
i love you all so much

HYUCK
we love you too jaem <3

JAEMIN
i thought winter will be nice...

JAEMIN
man i was so hyped for the winter play :(

HYUCK
FRRR SAME

CHENLE
ME TOO

JENO
it would have been the first time for almost everyone :(

JIEUN
I was looking forward to see you all in my designed costumes 💔

HAEWON
the world wasn't ready for us to perform and wear the pretty outfits because we would have been too good and awesome

HYUCK
honestly, we would have made the acting industry go bankrupt

MARK
YESSS DUDE 🗣🗣

RENJUN
wait there was really no other way we could let the play happen?

HYUCK
unfortunately no... mrs cha tried talking to the principal but he made up his mind

YEJOON
couldn't he let jaemin play??

YEJOON
or idk someone could take over the main character's role at least?

YEJOON
it's such a pity... all our effort would go in vain :(

HYUCK
i don't know if the principal would be convinced of the idea

JENO
besides, who of us would take over jaem's role?

YEJOON
except for jisung and jieun i think no one

SOOYUN
but i don't think none of them would like to take over the role, it would be too spontaneous with bare practice

JIEUN
This is true 💔

YEJOON
good point

MARK
damn couldn't the principal AT LEAST let jaemin act in the winter play before suspending him?

MARK
it was only two days apart and jaemin wasn't able to participate in last year's play... right?

HYUCK
THIS !!

HYUCK
LIKE COME ONNN

HYUCK
THAT'S NOT FAIR

JAEMIN
i'm sorry to you all...the winter play got cancelled on my behalf :(

RENJUN
JAEM DON'T APOLOGIZE IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT

HAEWON
EXACTLY ‼️

HYUCK
it's not your fault jaem

HYUCK
it's that person's fault who's trying to frame you

HYUCK
i wonder who that is and why they are doing it...

JENO
everyone wants to know that

━━━ ☆★☆ ━━━

[ SOOYUN 🌸 ]
private chat with sooyun

SOOYUN
detective jaemin, we need to talk about the whole situation

JAEMIN
i was just about to text you abt it omg

SOOYUN
telepathy :0

SOOYUN
share your thoughts with me, i know that the whole situation might be overwhelming

JAEMIN
well... i'm speculating who is behind it all

JAEMIN
and why they are doing it

JAEMIN
i can't think of any reason

JAEMIN
neither do i have a suspect

JAEMIN
but...

SOOYUN
but?

JAEMIN
as much as i hate to say that... i think someone of the drama club must be behind it

JAEMIN
i love everyone and i'm on good terms with everyone (in my perspective) so i don't get it who is the culprit and what reason they have behind all the actions

JAEMIN
just why is this happening

JAEMIN
oh i hate it so much...

SOOYUN
understandable jaemin ):

SOOYUN
is there anyone you can exclude from the suspects?

JAEMIN
hyuck and jeno

JAEMIN
they would never do such thing... i know my best friends

SOOYUN
true... if you are lucky enough

JAEMIN
what makes you say that?

SOOYUN
my ex-bestie had betrayed me in the past and turned my life into a living hell...

SOOYUN
but hopefully it's not the case for you!

JAEMIN
:((

JAEMIN
i feel so sorry for you sooyun :(

SOOYUN
it's okay, it's in the past now

SOOYUN
besides, i believe that hyuck is a good person. he's such a cute sweetheart

JAEMIN
you're right, he's a lil sunshine <3

JAEMIN
but i mean he's your pretend boyfriend so you obviously receive better treatment hmmm

JAEMIN
h

e's often rude towards jeno and me 🙄

JAEMIN
biased 😒

SOOYUN
PFF

SOOYUN
anyways let's shift back to you, sorry for interrupting

JAEMIN
it's fine, no worries!!

JAEMIN
i also don't think that jisung and chenle would ever do such a thing

JAEMIN
jisung is a literal angel, he's sooo precious

JAEMIN
chenle can behave cheekily but i know that he's good boy

JAEMIN
they are my babies

SOOYUN
momma nana is back

SOOYUN
but the way you called chenle indirectly a lil devil 😭😭

JAEMIN
hey i never said that ❌️ (he kinda is but he's a cute one)

JAEMIN
back to topic

JAEMIN
haewon and mark? nah, i think they have better things to do than doing these actions

JAEMIN
they are busy seniors who are also somehow chill but probably also stressed

JAEMIN
i think they are mature enough too

SOOYUN
yep that's true

JAEMIN
renjun? no he's literally the cutest person on earth. he would never dare to do that

SOOYUN
i get that point but he can get violent too

JAEMIN
only to yejoon and hyuck tbh because they are his #1 bullies

SOOYUN
fair enough

SOOYUN
the amount of times he was ready to fight the two of them 😭

SOOYUN
i mean he did strangle them sometimes

JAEMIN
fr 😭😭 but other than that, renjun is a fluffball <3

SOOYUN
okay kinda biased...🧐

JAEMIN
can't i appreciate renjun🤨

SOOYUN
no no that's totally fine

SOOYUN
it's just slightlyyy sus that you are refering him as fluffball with a heart at the end 🧐

SOOYUN
but on the other hand, that's what you always do to everyone as the mom in our group

SOOYUN
so it's not sus anymore (so far)

JAEMIN
JSJSNS

JAEMIN
alright, alright
back to topic

JAEMIN
yejoon? well he's a goofy silly crackhead i don't think he would do it

JAEMIN
he's an actual cutie... and he must have a good heart

JAEMIN
he's my cutie patootie

SOOYUN
"MY cutie patootie" 🧐⁉️

JAEMIN
no homo bro

SOOYUN
yet

JAEMIN
anyways-

JAEMIN
jieun? i think i can exclude her too. she's an extreme wholesome girl and she hasn't been there at all acts so she can't be behind it

SOOYUN
and what do you think about me?

SOOYUN
you can be totally honest, i wouldn't be holding a grudge against you if you suspect me too

SOOYUN
i totally get it since everyone is a potential suspect

SOOYUN
me including, i'm no exception

JAEMIN
tbh i don't think that you're behind it too

JAEMIN
you are a good person too, i know it

JAEMIN
besides, you're helping me out and let me trust you and you trust me too with your secrets

JAEMIN
some people would say that you are suspicious and whatever but i don't think you belong to the suspects

SOOYUN
aww jaemin ):

SOOYUN
but real talk, are you really not telling me lies so that i can feel better since we're texting? 🧐

SOOYUN
it's really okay to say the truth

JAEMIN
NO NO REALLY IM NOT LYING

JAEMIN
that's really how i feel and i hope that you can trust me

SOOYUN
ofc i do ❤️

JAEMIN
tearing up now 😞

SOOYUN
❤️

SOOYUN
okay let's hope for the best for the next couple of weeks and always be careful

JAEMIN
will do!!
