"How could you do that!"

Mrs. Hwang's voice was echoing through the hallway. Students were looking at the staircase, whispering, saying names and waiting for what was about to happen. Mrs. Hwang looked at Woojin who was still looking at his hands. He couldn't believe what he did either, but in an act of childish anger, he had pushed a classmate down the stairs.

Jinyoung and Jihoon were sitting next to Hyeongseop, who was bleeding from his head. 

"W-We got into a fight!" Woojin tried to save himself, but Mrs. Hwang didn't give him any chance at all to defend himself. It was obvious that Woojin had pushed Hyeongseop down the stairs.

The day had started so well. 

Woojin and Minjae had taken the subway to school together, laughing about the newest episode of a Variety Show the two teenagers enjoyed. At school they departed, everyone going to their own group of friends when Ahn Hyeongseop had turned up out of nowhere, teasing Woojin for being friends with Minjae.

"So the rumors are true!" Hyeongseop had laughed. "You and Minjae are indeed dating." He laughed and Woojin had denied those rumors, making Hyeongseop only more agitated to tease him. "You'd look cute under the control of Minjae!" were the last words Hyeongseop had said before Woojin had pushed him down the stairs. 

Hyeongseop had hit his head several times on the steps until he reached the bottom of the next floor. Jihoon and Jinyoung gasping at Woojin's stupid act and rushing to help Hyeongseop that was bleeding, while Woojin was still staring at his hands until Mrs. Hwang had pulled him out of his thoughts.

Now he was sitting in the principles office, his teacher next to him and his eyes glued to the floor. 

Principle Lee was a good man, not judging the kids by small acts of anger or sudden decisions. He had listened to Mrs. Hwang explaining what had happened and that Ahn Hyeongseop had only a small cut on his forehead that the school nurse quickly taped together.

"Alright," Principle Lee said after listening to all of Mrs. Hwang's words. "I don't want to make a decision without knowing what you think about it, Woojin-ah." Principle Lee said and Woojin looked up. "I didn't mean to push him," Woojin said and Teacher Hwang butted in. "Woojin had struggles getting along with his new classmates, Principle." His teacher explained but Woojin shook his head. "I have friends! I get along with them. I have Jinyoung and Jihoon-" - "Who all came from another class with you." Teacher Hwang sighed.

"Principle, I get along with my new classmates. Gong Minjae is actually a friend of me. And I do like Ahn Hyeongseop. It was a mistake of pushing him, I know. But he teased me!" Woojin let out an exhausted sigh. "Principle, please. You can't suspend me, please. My parents would-"

"Join the Drama Club."

Woojin looked at his teacher with widened eyes. "Mrs. Hwang t-the Drama Club is-is not really my type of thing?" Woojin stuttered. "You either get suspended for a day or you join the Drama Club for their preparation for our Christmas Musical." Teacher Hwang said sternly. "Write a letter for Hyeongseop apologizing and join the Drama Club and you won't have to be suspended."

Teacher Hwang looked at Principle Lee, asking for his permission. The Principle simply nodded, looking at Woojin waiting for his answer. "I can't be suspended," Woojin said and let out a defeated sigh. "I'll join." He said and looked at his hands.

Better joining the unpopular Drama Club then being suspended.

"I'm sorry."

Hyeongseop looked down at Woojin who was kneeling in front of him on the floor, literally begging for forgiveness. Hyeongseop had his arms crossed in front of his chest and pouted. "I didn't mean to be rude to you." Hyeongseop suddenly said and looked around. 

Their classmates were mumbling and wondering why Woojin was kneeling in front of Hyeongseop. "Stand up," Hyeongseop said and even helped Woojin up. "I didn't know that talking about Minjae-ah was a sensible topic," Hyeongseop said and Woojin sighed.

"I just befriended her and I don't like being teased for who my friends are," Woojin said and then looked at Hyeongseop. "You couldn't know. I'm not in your class for a long time." Woojin said and Hyeongseop nodded. "I'm not going to tell my Mum," Hyeongseop said and pointed to his forehead. "I want to be your friend, Woojin. You seem like a cool kid!" The black haired class clown laughed and Woojin gulped and looked down.

Cool kid? If Hyeongseop only knew. Not even Jihoon and Jinyoung knew how unlucky he was with his parents. 

"So... What you think? Do you want to go and play LoL with me this afternoon after school? Your friends can join too if you feel uncomfortable with me." Hyeongseop said and Woojin sighed. "I have to join the Drama Club because I pushed you," Woojin confessed and Hyeongseop widened his already big eyes. "What? Really!" He squeaked and Woojin cocked an eyebrow. 

"What's so exciting about the Drama Club?" Woojin asked only to be shaken by Hyeongseop. "The Girls there are so cute! I swear to god if Mrs. Hwang wouldn't be so strict deciding what students she wanted I'd be already part of the Drama Club. Ahn Choa won't talk to me in class but if she would see that I am an actor as well, maybe she would talk to me?" Hyeongseop asked and Woojin chuckled. "You my Friend," he started, "surely have a thing for cute girls, what?" Woojin asked and finally relaxed in Hyeongseop's presence. 

"Noh Taena is cute as well. And tsundere Hwang Chora is a fine one as well!" Hyeongseop grabbed the fabric over his chest dramatically. "What about you? What type of girl do you like?"

The moment Hyeongseop asked Woojin this, Ahn Choa and Minjae entered the classroom. Minjae had crumbs of a Mochi on her cheek and her hair was messy. She had another packed Mochi in her right hand and laughed about something Choa had told her, smearing the bean paste of her treat on her cheek like a little girl.

Woojin smiled at that view in front of him and looked down. "So the dumb cute one, that doesn't realize how cute she is is your type?" Hyeongseop asked after following Woojin's eyes. Woojin kept on looking down, not answering Hyeongseop. 

And in the end, the day didn't end that bad as well.
