Yang Jeongin

It so happened that you hated your brother Chan since childhood.

Chan strictly forbade you from communicating with his friend Jongin. Why? They're friends. But you didn't know what Jongin looked like now; it had been so long.

The cool air enveloped the city, and your sweater kept you warm as you walked home after school. But suddenly, someone grabbed you roughly by the hood and pinned you against the wall. Your back hit the wall hard. It was Lana. Everyone disliked her, but for certain reasons, they couldn't say.

Lana: Hey, they say there are girls dancing in shop windows in the red light district in Sydney. How much do they pay for that?

You used to live in Sydney before moving to Seoul.

— Are you even considering the price? That's commendable; you can't live off your parents for the rest of your life.

Lana: Sit on my neck?

A blow to the stomach. You doubled over in pain.

"Oh, Jongin, is it Chan's little sister who was caught by chance?"

Jonin turned his head towards the school.

Jongin: Stay here.

Jongin walked towards you. He grabbed Lana by the hair, pulling her back.

Jonin: I thought I told you not to approach her. One more stunt and you'll see what happens to you.

Lana: Yes, I understand, let go, you idiot!

Jongin let her go with disgust. The girls left. Putting your hand on your stomach, you looked at the guy.

• Jonin?...

Jongin and Chan used to be best friends. But now they're enemies. They had a fight over a girl who was playing with their emotions. Jongin had changed a lot. He wasn't the skinny boy he used to be. His body was muscular, his features were sharp and his cheekbones were defined, and he'd grown a lot taller. His voice and personality had also changed.

Jonin: Where does it hurt? I'll walk you home.

Jongin walked you home. You stood at the entrance, silently looking at each other. You didn't know yet that at that moment, Chan's friends were strolling somewhere nearby.

Jonin: Speak up if you need help. See you later, little one.

Jonin left, disappearing into the darkness.

At home.

Chan stood at the threshold, looking at you with a cold gaze.

Chan: Now tell me what you did with Jeongin and why he walked you home. I know everything, I can't avoid answering.
