Everybody woke up early because of Daniel's sleep talking. He's like a dying pig squealing loudly. His cold worsened.

'He didn't scare then.' they thought.

"Just stay home, I'll tell the teachers what happened. I'll be going to Baekho hyung to make you a medical certificate." Youngmin told the poor guy who's wrapped around a sleeping bag underneath the comforter.

"Eeew! I slept beside you." Woojin said in disgust. "What kind of flu does he have?" he asked, jumping off of bed.

"Nothing to be worried about. That's just what happens if you don't listen to your mother." Seongwoo reassured the child.

"I see." Woojin stared at Daniel who looks like Rudolph the red nose reindeer. "Youngmin hyung, I'll sleep beside you tonight." he said before hitting Youngmin's shoulders lightly before going for a shower.

Wait? He'll sleep here tonight?

Why does he think this is okay?

"Remember the quiz today." Somi reminded everybody on her year level. She's all set and ready to take that quiz. Youngmin made sure of that. He taught her different techniques and even let her borrow his magical colored pens.

Now her notebook is not plain old boring notebook. There's a coffee stain underneath the lecture.

At school Somi went ahead on the classroom which was not normal. Usually she would wait for the boys to make sure that nobody would mess with her, but she's comfortable even with just Chungha.

Sejeong was already in her seat but doesn't look like her normal self. It's like she's dead on the inside, with her head flat on the table as if she's literally dead.

Sohye noticed Somi approaching her, but she wouldn't allow her. Immediately, she stood up and blocked Somi's way.

"Your boyfriend's cousin just broke her heart. She was crying all night long. That Kang Daniel has a really cold heart." Sohye made sure that the whole room could hear that, because after she's done with this, she wants everyone to be done crushing on Daniel too. "Where is he even? I'm going to burn him to make sure his cold heart melts." she demanded sassily.

"Too bad, he caught cold." Chungha stepped up, shoving Somi behind her.

"Cold? He's sick? Is he okay?" Sejeong woke up from her sleep when he heard what happened to Daniel.

"Shush! Kim Sejeong! Enough of Daniel already." Sohye warned his cousin, then met Chungha's eyes. "Where did you crash into last night? I heard your brother brought his friends again?" she challenges but Chungha couldn't really respond to that. She never talk to people about her brother and his friends and how things are inside their house.

But it's a small neighborhood, everybody knows everything about everyone.

"Do you..." Sohye giggled before continuing. "drink and have fun with them?" she asked offensively, finally watched Chungha uncomfortable with the topic. She discovered that she still have the skills to offend and scare people.

Cute!

People just look so cute when they're vulnerable. Makes her smile.

"Tell me, have they..."

"Enough Sohye!" silent Yoojung finally got up from her seat to speak up.

"What's that?" Sohye asked raising a brow.

"I said enough of this? Aren't you tired? Isn't this immature compared to our age?" she asked, stepping out for Chungha.

Nobody knew that she's already here, and nobody really noticed that she still goes to school lately ever since she's not friends with Sohye anymore. But here she is, standing tall even though she's really short.

"Well, what we're talking about here is matured. It's rated M, and Chungha can prove that, Somi too. How often do you do it?" she giggled once again. "Oooh! Or should I ask if you guys clicked because you do the same thing?" she faked a surprised reaction, putting her hand on her 'O' shaped mouth.

"Enough of this sick joke! It's a lie. Somi didn't sleep with Wonwoo and I was there that night. So can we please drop this?" Yoojung snapped. It was all to much and those works that Jihoon told her keeps running around her mind.

Other students started to whisper.

"So they lied about Somi."

"Fake bitches."

"So Somi's been the victim this entire time?"

"Disgusting."

Sohye couldn't believe it. Her day started so great that she never thought that it would drop like this.

And it's all because of Yoojung, not Pinky. It was the silent one, not the frank one.

How does people live these days, ruining their reputation like that.

"Yes, we lied." Yoojung confessed as if this will be the last day she'll live.

"Probably jealousy." they whispered.

"Yes! I was jealous of Somi. She's popular, pretty, kind, a good friend, and easy to be with. And more importantly, I was afraid to be bullied by you." she pointed at Sohye.

"You should be. And you should still be." she threatened before sitting down to listed to whispers that she's not used to.

Yoojung turned around and held Somi's hand. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for keeping quiet. I knew the truth and I lived that lie because I was saving myself." she apologized.

Somi was starting to get emotional. So she was right about Yoojung. They're just both alike. They're afraid of one thing—Sohye.

...

"Guys, how about we play prank on Sohye?" Samuel asked, coming out of nowhere, scaring both Hyeop and Jihoon.

"Why?" Hyeop asked suspiciously, closing his locker.

Samuel is not the kind of guy who would play prank on people just because. He's a nice guy.

"She told Somi's parents that Somi's living with me, when in fact, she's living with us, and have a separate room." he gestured at them.

Hyeop frowned at his reason, because to him, that's not even a reason or an excuse.

"Dude? Can you hear yourself? You do realize that a girl living with loads of boys are not right, am I wrong?" he asked his cousin.

Before Samuel could answer, here comes Baejin with a smile on his usual expressionless face.

"Dude, you know what I realized after staying up all night?" he asked them.

Wait? He stayed up all night but nobody noticed him?

"That it's possible to murder a person slowly by grinding him?" Jihoon asked, giving them shivers.

Seriously, what did Park Woojin made him watch last night?

"No!" Baejin answered, rolling his eyes as if Jihoon's some stupid creature that doesn't deserve to walk the planet. Then raised Pinky's note.

"That's what kept you up all night?" Samuel sighed looking away, then spied on Pinky behind them, biting her lips while staring at Baejin.

Samuel was about to tell Baejin, but who knew he was staring back at her.

Pinky clutched her book binder then jolted up when she noticed that Samuel caught her. As an excuse, she fake glanced at her wrist watch. "Almost time." she muttered before running.

But she ran the wrong way towards the classroom that she mentally cursed herself before running the other way.

"I'm confused" Samuel said. "Did Pinky just smile at you?" he asked.

"See! That's what I was talking about. What if she really likes me?" Baejin said enthusiastically.

"You think?" Jihoon asked in sarcasm. "You should break your pencil later and then borrow a pencil. Then ask her to meet you up somewhere to return it, and then you should make your move then." he excitedly suggested.

"And you'd be there with a video camera? And then you should document their whole relationship progress." Hyeop told him harshly. "How about look for a girl to like and pull those lame moves on her." he suggested before leaving them there. They're all insane and he's done. He needs to focus and ace Mark Lee's quiz.

He should be Mark Lee's favorite student because his favorite teacher was Mark Lee. That's how it should be. It should be mutual or he's going to lose his mind. If Mark Lee praise another student instead of him, he's going to kill that person.

Since Hyunbin's not here, he can't lose. No favorite.

"Hey handsome." Doyeon greeted but she was ignored.

Hyeop went straight to his sit to review his lecture. He didn't even listen to homeroom announcements and just red his lecture.

Homeroom ended and as soon as Miss Kang left, Mr. Lee came in with a pile of test papers on his hands.

Wait! Nobody thought it was this serious.

"Ahhh! Mr. Lee, I used to think you're a cool teacher." Chani said, he used to be just a shy guy at the back. But today he's desperate and anxious.

"I still am." Mr. Lee responded. "If everybody's honest by the end of this quiz, I'll make sure to give bonus points. Just be honest. Let me see how attentive you were on the past lessons and I'll help you on where you're struggling with." he promised.

But Sohye wasn't satisfied that she took her notes under her desk. After the test paper was distributed, everybody did their best while she cheats, peaking underneath her desk. It was so easy to notice, especially for those who's seating behind her.

Hwiyoung raised his hands after witnessing.

"Yes?" Mark Lee asked smiling. This kid is handsome but nobody can see it yet. Must be because he's hiding behind that bangs.

"I don't want to be the person to take away the entire class' opportunity to have bonus points, but I don't want to be the guy who studied all night long for a passing grade when someone can just cheat to pass or even perfect this quiz." he said.

Sohye dropped her notebook, kicking it backwards, sliding underneath Hyeop's table.

"I'm sorry, what?" Mark Lee came closer to Hwiyoung.

"I'm not sure why you don't see it but someone didn't keep their notes away." he said before lowering his head to answer.

"I see it." Sohye pointed at Hyeop. "His notes are under his chair." she accused to escape this mess.

Hyeop was confused, even Mr. Lee was. He thought Hyeop respects him. "Kwon Hyeop, kindly step outside with me." he requested.

Hyeop was embarrassed to even stand up. He worked hard for this.

"Wait, you got the wrong person." Hwiyoung whispered. Sohye turned and smirked at him.

Hyeop gave him a nod, gesturing that it's okay then picked up the notebook after pulling his sleeves to over his hands just in case it'll go further than a cheating issue, he doesn't want his finger print on it. It's always been a habit that he had. A paranoia that people might prove your're guilty of something when they see you're finger print on an evidence.

He didn't step outside and just stood behind the teacher's table. Mr. Lee watched him as he dropped the notebook on the table and started reciting the whole thing. Everything they lectured. Everything he said was precise to what was written on their notebooks.

He memorized everything last night, thinking that even if he doesn't understand it, he still know everything.

For the very first time, he reviewed like Justin, and this is what he got. This is how his name is going to be ruined on his favorite Teacher.

He didn't stop until he finished everything he memorized, leaving the students writing all the correct answer.

"Kwon Hyeop, sit down. You got a perfect score." Mr. Lee told him before picking up the notebook to see who's notebook was it.

"Kim Sohye, kindly recite that for me." he asked making Sohye's knee shake. No teacher has ever made her this nervous before.

She stood up trying to keep his smirk. "There's no way someone review like that. He memorized the whole thing. I only memorized the key terms." she said as an excuse.

Mr. Lee took her test paper then asked questions. Even though Sohye got them all right, she doesn't seem to remember what she has written.

"You cheated. I'm sorry but I can't check this paper." he said tearing it in front of him.

Public humiliation. It's what she used to do to those defenseless kids, and now she earned it. She wasted very much to cry but tears didn't fall.

"I believe this is yours." Mr. Lee gave her her lecture notebook, crushing all pride.

...

"Hello class. I'm your new teacher, Kwon Yuri. Jessica Jung's replacement." the new teacher introduced herself. "And since I'm new, we'll have a short quiz to test your abilities in physics and to let me know what I still need to teach you."

She wrote down tricky problems on the board and waited until they finish.

Youngmin tried to concentrate but Seongwoo keeps humming this one song that he keeps singing this morning.

He wanted to just kick his chair to warn him.

Miss Kwon noticed him staring at Seongwoo and wanted to get his attention right away that she threw her white board marker, but Youngmin caught it.

"Are you copying answers? Cherry boy?" she thought it might be funny to call him cherry boy because of his red hair.

"I wasn't." Youngmin responded not being too defensive.

"Liar! Go stand in the corner and think about what you've done!" then she grabbed his paper.

Instead of being impressed that he's already at question number five while everybody was still confused at number one, she was pissed that someone finished her trick questions. Who is this kid?

"You copied!" she accused once more, when Youngmin was already standing in the corner.

Why does every physics teacher thinks he copies when nobody's even answered the first freakin' problem?

"Where? Where would I copy it from?" he challenged. Miss Kwon peaked at Seongwoo's paper but there's nothing written there.

She grabbed everything under his desk and saw different grammar books of Mandarin. And then nothing. There's nothing else.

"You went to the faculty to get the answer key didn't you?" she asked.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but you're being noisy. I can't quite focus." Seongwoo told her, making her shut up and sit down.

She still can't figure out how Youngmin cheated. "You sent the equations to a collage student and answered it for you." she accused. "Give me your phone." she demanded.

"I don't have any." he said and it was the truth. How many times does he have to get in trouble for answering the questions right and quickly and for not having a fucking phone?

His parents told him that electronic gadgets ruin a person's imagination and affects time management, but they didn't mention that I'll get him in trouble.

"It's impossible that you don't have a mobile phone. Hand it over." she demanded. "Do I have to repeat myself?" she asked when Youngmin just won't respond.

"Guidance counselor, Now!" she yelled.

Cool, the first thing he needs right now is Hansol.

And maybe a jelly sip that he always have on the fridge.

Youngmin took his things then went straight at Hansol's office. He was there waiting for him.

"What happened? Why are you always accused of cheating?" Hansol asked, offering the kid a jelly sip.

"I'm not sure. I just really need comfort right now." Youngmin never felt so wronged like this before.

"Let's play basketball." Hansol invited. "Let's go before the varsity team gets there first." he said taking his ball from the shelves.

"Let's go get Johnny and his meaty ass." he said excitedly, pulling Youngmin outside.

Even though they were running to get to the basketball court, the Varsity team was already stretching there with Yuta.

"Fighting on three!" he yelled and they cheered with him.

"Cool, I think we won't be needing this." Hansol threw the ball with force on the ground in disappointment.

But Johnny's here to the rescue with his soccer ball. "I already expect this to happen. Let's go to the field." he said. "I invited the guys, I hope you don't mind." Johnny told him.

"I don't, I mean who plays soccer with only three players? What? You two guard the goals while I play by myself running around from under the fucking sun? I'm crazy and I admit it, but still not that crazy." Hansol joked.

"You play basketball by yourself and even block your own point, admit that you're that crazy." Johnny revealed, making Youngmin laugh.

"I cant help it, only I can block my own shot? I'm so awesome. I need to ask for my phone number and talk to myself to teach me these awesome things. I'm just that awesome." Hansol exhaled with a proud smile. He just can't get enough of himself and at the same time he couldn't get enough of himself. Yes, you have to say it twice. Must be so hard to be so awesome.

"Awesome!" Johnny echoed.

He was getting excited before he saw 'the guys' that Johnny was talking about.

After seeing Taeyong, Taeil, Mark Lee, Winwin, and Jaehyun, he turned his back. "Let's just go play basketball with the varsity team." he said but Johnny had a tight hold of him.

"We're going to play as a team and leave the weakling's work together as a team." Johnny whispered.

"We're going to have Jaehyun on our team." Johnny said taking Jaehyun away from Mark Lee.

"We're going to beat you!" Mark warned before he started doing foot works.

But that warning didn't mean a thing. Few minutes later and all that they do was fool around. Taeil keep on slipping, and Mark just keep on laughing to himself as if he was high. Winwin was talking to himself and Taeyong was like a ghost who was lost.

Johnny and Hansol keeps doing high five every time they score. Youngmin thought it was really cool to have friends like them.

"Team Chicago wins!" Johnny cheered alone.

"Why does he think he has to bring that up every time?" Jaehyun asked.

"Let him live." Hansol said before giving the ball to Youngmin. "Last penalty kick before you go back to class." he said then whispered. "It's Johnny's ball. It has his signature on it." he pointed at the signature.

But Youngmin was still clueless, before Hansol pointed at the window to their classroom where the new teacher was discussing.

"Pretend it's the goal." Hansol whispered. It was very far though, but Youngmin has a really strong legs.

After being tempted, he thought of how much the repair would cost and the discussion would be interrupted. They really need that, after seeing Seongwoo's paper he was convinced that they really need it.

"I shouldn't. Umma told me to be considerate and to think before I do something." he told Hansol. Good thing he's not Daniel.

Taeyong joined them "Everyday before I do something, I'd ask myself 'Would a normal person do this?' and then I answer myself too. 'Nope, only Lee Taeyong would do fucking things like this'." he said and then kicked the ball towards the window.

And there it was, a broken window and screams of horror.

"Run for it!" Hansol said running away, dragging Youngmin with him.

So it feels this good to be an idiot sometimes. Now Youngmin understand why Daniel does it, but the guy was going overboard.

Maybe Lee Taeyong would understand him.

After that, Taeyong got in trouble. But who cares? He can pay for the damage. As long as you have money, the school will let you go.

...

Lunch time came and Youngmin was still amazed by his teachers and their friends.

"I kinda miss Daniel." Seongwoo muttered before humming that stupid song that got Youngmin in trouble.

It didn't take long for Somi and Chungha to join the table. Seongwoo started to sit straight and fix his uniform.

Youngmin watched him act like an idiot before he saw Somi and Chungha. He smirked as if he knew it, and Seongwoo knew that he really knows something.

"Where's the four idiots?" Youngmin asked the girls.

"They said they're going to take care of something." Chungha answered then stole
