eighteen

"I'm really not in the mood to-"

Taehyung's words were interrupted as Gyuri grunted to cut him off as she replied quickly, "We need to clarify every detail so that we can get back to the school."

"How do you have so much confidence?"

Gyuri looked down at her feet before replying back with a pause, "After hearing Sohee's story... I can't force myself to give up."

Taehyung stopped what he was looking at as his fingers froze on the paper as he blinked quietly to himself as the hospital scene appeared in his head. He looked around the room to find something to say as obviously Gyuri made him pretty speechless. She bit her lip as she sighed heavily before continuing, "I know I can't be emotionally invested as a police officer. But thinking about her guilt of following through and playing through the game...I know that it was such a difficult choice."

Taehyung waved his hands in the air in defeat as he replied quickly after with a less confident voice, "Fine...you win."

Gyuri wiped her tears quickly as she smiled brightly as she bounced towards the captain, "Really?"

Taehyung took a step back as he was standing up to face Gyuri properly as she smiled sadly as they stared each other. He got used to her somewhat quirky behavior, but he didn't want her to cry since it was something he was not used to. He turned his head quietly as he cleared his throat before he replied, "Let's start working on the case when it is the end of the shift."

"Another overnight shift?!"

"Too bad. You asked for it."

Gyuri quickly left the office as Taehyung gathered his files to go talk to Seokjin so that they can discuss together about a different case since he was piled with all files. Gyuri sat her desk to think about what other possible answers that might be connected to the case. It felt like all her thoughts were poking into her brain as she tried to figure out what was going in.


Sanha glanced regretfully at the principal as he felt his whole body aching due to the fear of what was going to take place. The gloomy weather outside perfectly fit the emotions that he was feeling that was clouding and mingling inside of him: confusion, disbelief, anger, and guilt. He glanced at Sohee, who was just as confused and nervous as he was.

"I'm..sorry...I didn't..."

"Do not talk to her."

The principal snapped at him as Sanha bit his lip quietly as he stared his own hands for support. Sohee was feeling like she was going to throw up as her stomach was turning uncomfortably. She hid her hands under her thighs as she kept staring at the ground since she still couldn't believe what just happened. The principal was talking with a few people on the phone before he came to a final decision.

"After checking with the lawyers and some witnesses, Sanha would be expelled from the school. But because you are a scholarship student, we realize that it will be difficult to do that since the public is also on our eyes. You will serve a year long sentence of detention, and you need to work constantly at school. Sohee, did you feel like your privacy was broken because of his actions?"

She shook her head as she replied back quietly, "I don't remember anything."

"Did he drug you?"

Sanha blinked confusingly as he remembered meeting Sohee, and he was getting seduced by her. But he doesn't remember the details after getting blindfolded. He knew that he couldn't say any of it or else the principal would berate him for being irresponsible and a liar. Sohee swallowed the lump forming in her throat before replying, "I took drugs which was my antidepressant pills. I must have taken too much of it since I was feeling super down that day and I wanted to talk with Sanha. But I don't remember anything else after that."

The principal folded his hands together as he came to the final conclusion that Sanha would stay away from Sohee from all times as he would then also get fined if he ever interacted with Sohee. If any tests came back saying that Sohee was pregnant, she was free to press all the charges that she wanted to in order to fine him.

The pair left the office as he was immediately separated from her as Sohee weakly walked away from Sanha with the nurse. Sanha stood there quietly as he couldn't believe what was happening. Nothing was making any sense. He didn't remember taking any drugs...something must have taken place when he was blindfolded all of a sudden. Someone called his name numerously as he turned his head to see Jinyoung smiling sadly at him.

"You okay buddy?"

Jinyoung asked quietly as they were sitting on the rooftop again to escape the harsh reality that was laid out for Sanha. Sanha stared at the floor of the rooftop as he couldn't really process all the information still. He was blamed for everything and the school wasn't doing any investigation to find out what really went on.

He turned to his side as he faced Jinyoung as he asked carefully, "Do you think that they planned this?"

"What do you mean?"

"The exams are coming up.. I know that there is a lot of competition.....I know that everyone wanted to make me fall from the top 3 standing."

Jinyoung rolled his eyes to himself as he replied back with a little bit of attitude, "Is that all that matters to you right now?! You were framed for something that you didn't do."

"That's exactly why...I'm being for framed for something I didn't do so that they wanted to mess with my brain and my current mental health. I really can't go through this any longer. I want to confront Jaemin."

"You're fucking crazy Sanha, you know that? Why do you try to do things that you're going to regret!"

Sanha was out of words as his own friend wasn't even supporting him as now it felt like the whole world was going against him from even being sane. He gripped onto his jacket as he replied back angrily, "Are you even my friend? How come you never take my side whenever I talk about the guys who annoy our asses everyday and try to destroy us whenever they get the chance?!"

"That's the way we're supposed to live! Don't you realize that?!"

"You're scared, aren't you. You can't fucking fight for yourself because of the secret that you're holding inside of you."

The next minute later, Sanha was being thrown onto the ground as Jinyoung punched him over numerously as he screamed angrily in response, "The drugs are still in your system! You're making up nonsense!"

Sanha fought back as he punched Jinyoung back as the two kept trying to hurt the other due to the repressed stress and anger within themselves. After all the tough fights that they had to through due to Jaemin and Chan, it was definitely the first for them to argue. The rain started to pour down without a warning onto the dry earth as the two students were getting soaked in the meanwhile as they argued and fought without anyone to stop them.

"You're fucking insane, Sanha. You're really fucking insane. I can't believe I called you my friend and took your side. You're a fucking addict with a sex issue."

Jinyoung spit out heartlessly as he stared at Sanha, who was coughing up blood as Jinyoung managed to throw more merciless punches than the other. Sanha gripped onto his side as he wiped the blood from his mouth as his whole body was wet and aching painfully. Jinyoung swept his wet hair back as he glared hatefully at Sanha before leaving the rooftop as he heard Sanha scream as he left, "You think your secret is going to stay as a secret?! You're the cruelest one of all."
