EunWoo stood at the gate and stayed starring at the buildings. He was dizzy and nauseated. He felt like the pavement was sinking by the minute and he just standing there doing nothing.

Even though he was not in anyway injured he felt like his blood was replaced by bleach which was corroding his lungs and instead of air ,he was breathing piping hot tar.

He didn't want to come to school today but it's all part of the plan. He has to come here. But it doesn't make anything more bearable..

Of course he feels this way beacuse what used to feel like an internal conflict has also manifested to an external one .

He was trembling from every inch of his body and was trying so much to conceal it which is not fair, because he feels like he got the painful end of the stick

Memories of that night on the yacht were still fresh.

After the video was released, HanSol played it on the screen. Seeing it on the big tv made EunWoo feel way worse and tried to storm off from the room but ChanYi caught him the elbow

" Please don't feel like this now", he softly begged. Of course he does not take pleasure from having to take part in putting EunWoo in such a situation but it's all crucial, otherwise they would have taken an alternative.

" What?", He barked and turned around to face him. This time his eyes were not merely red ,they were oozing tears. Tears of anxiety , anger and unfairness.

"He has a point. We don't need you acting like a weakling. Besides they may hit you but they won't kill you", answered GiChan who sat crossed legged on the expensive sofa.

" What!!", EunWoo whispered this and with he pulled his hand free from ChanYi and he blast outside . He really wanted to jump in the water but he some peculiar way mange aged to restrain from that..The water was really calling to him.if he doesn't move right now, the level of cortisol and adrenaline is going to kill him instead..

He opened his eyes and he walked inside the premises, to avoid convincing himself to leave

He was really trying not to cry, every step, every breath felt like he is soul was dressed in carnivorous termites..

The last phrase that GiChan said to EunWoo was the worst thing he probably heard him say to him. How can he have the capability to even mouth those words to him. How can he just say that the bullying that EunWoo is about to go through is nothing?

Maybe he can overlook it. Maybe he can pretend that what people say about him is meaningless. But EunWoo can't. But even if GiChan could, then he should be the one here , right? EunWoo has a fragile soul, there is a reason he is so sweet, it's because he is delicate, more delicate that graphite so he is bound to feel very bad when bad things are said about him.

Everyone was already here and them seeing him provoked thier gossiping, adding spice to their usually boring conversation. They began whispering in the sidewalks and did minimal to hide that.He wanted to turn around and run back home , to bury himself alive. Feeling the tears forming once again in his eyes, he burried his head a little to take a breath since the oxygen was refusing to go into his throat

A pair of white boots stood in front of him. And though he really doesn't want to look and as much as he would rather avoid this person, he has to maintain an uptight manner, almost like he is numb to the disorder going on inside.

" You selfish double- crossing excuse of a person, how dare you still have the audacity to come to school", barked InAh.She was backed by four other girls

She was fuming. And that much was obvious. She must be a close friend to Tzuyu because of the way she is angry could tear up the heavens. All the pent up anger was resonating in her voice. And the arrows she was shooting with her tongue hit the bull's eye.

" You think just because you have everything you can mistreat someone who cares about you. Walking around the school all holier than thou when your deeds are despicable beyond imagination.", She added..

" You are the devil s incarnate. I hope you rot in the pits of Diablo where you belong. Self-serving prick", she belittled him

The way she is so angry must mean that Tzuyu is hundred times more upset and that is not a surprise..

He took a step forward and he felt the tears trickling down his face. He doesn't want to move any further. He can't possibly move another step at all..

And just then , GiChan passed in front of him , a few feet behind these girls. He was with some other students who were clearly degrading him. GiChan just made a sly smile to EunWoo and he walked away , undisturbed.

Even though this is a part of the plan, seeing GiChan do that really does leave a hole in the heart. He feels like he has just had his soul ripped from his body and dragged though mud and tossed it in sharp machetes.

He looks so indifferent towards this just like the first time it was proposed. Doesn't he think that even if it's an act to EunWoo, it is very much real.

And as he is being insulted now, he is sure that people are badmouthing him more agressively online, the second worst kind of bullying, cyber bulling.

" That is one prideful ididot. How can he have such nerves. I mean look at him , looking so pitiful. The trash that are saying online must be haunting him ", Yukhei spoke while looking at the glass panel. The same glass panel that he has been looking through for the past few days. Enjoying the scene of seeing EunWoo dismantled by fools

" He used to think this school was his but look at him, like a dog with its tail between its legs", he continued belittling him

Xiaojun looked at the glass panel too and didn't say a word. He has been looking at this bullying going on for two days but he can't seem to partake in it.

Yes he hates EunWoo to the core , only because he was always stuck and seeing him like this is very pitiful. Seeing the look on EunWoo s face, so broken is very much pitiful. Such pain can not be faked because it goes deeper than the eyes can see

" Look at what they are saying. Heavens , people are cruel", Yukhei answered looking at his phone and smirking. He turned the screen to Xiaojun

He looked away from the window, purposefully colliding with Yukhei on the shoulder and walking away. Yukhei didn't care or notice and instead just continued reading comments online and laughing.

EunWoo sidestepped from this girl and into further into the grounds. As expected and as it has been the pattern for the past two days , he found more people already grouped together glancing at him and back to their phones..

He stood looking at them and he felt really dizzy..

He could feel the whole world spinning, as he was halfway from a break down, he felt people stand behind him.

" Tell me those are lies. Tell me that it's not what it means. Just say that it's not the truth", she cried .

As he turned, he found Tzuyu red eyed . Guilt flooded his soul and he felt the need to evaporate. His skull was compressing and his eyes were replaced by red berries. He swore to the heavens that he felt like he completed all sins in the holy books. Making a girl cry is never, has never been his thing and seeing how this one is so deeply hurt makes him feel like the monster people are labelling. However the much he wanted to explain this to her, he can't do that or else some really bad people will give her an infinite trip through a merciless tornado. And at that point she will repent her birth

" Say something", she screamed at him. She started to pound his chest several times , over and over again while crying asking him to say something , to say that it's lies because she will believe him even if he is lying too.

Hearing her say that felt like it was raining shurikens and they penetrating his flesh and just tearing apart EunWoo s core. Every tiny fist that hit him was like she was kicking his heart. He didn't like this feeling but he didn't have the strength to avert it either.

Out of the blue ,the pounding ceased. Tzuyu s fist were blocked .

" Stop this", the voice echoed. An the tiny hands were proceeded to be suspended in the air.

" It's not helping", he added.

Xiaojun softly tossed her hands to the side and Tzuyu slid to the ground weeping.

EunWoo raised his red face so that he could see through the tears which was a futile effort. He was too weak to bother anymore but within that very second a hand pulled him by the forearm, driving him away from the crying girl.

He couldn't see clearly through the tears so he just followed the guide. Where would he take the energy to resist?

*****

Principal Park sat in his office swinging his chair from left to right. He hung his head on the chair.

He was just idling around like he had detached from reality. However that would have been beievable if his tie wasn't off balance and he didn't seemed like he hadn't shaved or showered for days. He didn't smell , he just looked awful.

A knock came into the room but he stood quiet and maybe the visitor could tell there is stress silence that had befell him, so they decided to enter

Three pairs of shoes stepped into the room. Go WooJin, Jin Goo and Bae Jong Ok.

They stood infront of his glass table and they looked at him before looking at each other. Ms Bae placed the laptop she had came with on the table and went to pour Principal Park some water from the table by the window

" Have you seen it", Jin questioned the torn man

" What do you think?", he responded. He did see it , otherwise why would he be in this state. But he didn't watch it completely, so Jin does have a little point

Ms Bae returned with the water and placed it on the table.

She then proceeded to look at Jin who knodded.She opened the PC and started pressing a few things on the keyboard then she turned the computer to Principal Park.

Everyone went and stood behind his chair. Even if they seem curious , they have in fact seen the video.

Just that it was set as a two time watch, which everyone already exhausted as they were amazed. But that doesn't mean they don't want to see it again

She asked if the chancellor would like to see the video and principal Park didn't respond.

She pressed play

' Option A , Option B and Option C' the video displayed those boxes at the bottom of the screen .

'A' showed YeoReum s name, 'B' showed Sakura s and the last a question mark. It then transitioned

It seemed to be shoot in a dark alley , some where , probably near a bar..

The camera holder seemed to have been peaking at the scene.

Two boys were present there but the faces were hidden

One was pinned on the wall and another was holding the other by the collar.

" Stop your madness, money is not everything. ", the body against the wall spoke

The culprit then pulled the body off the wall and pinned it to the floor and started to pound fist after fist onto him

" Think about your grilfriend, Tzuyu .how would she feel knowing you are..", the body kept talking despite getting mutilated.

"Shut up , before.."

The video got cut..
