police station

" how dare you call him a beggar! "

a loud voice spears through the harsh shouting of adults.

CHOI JANGMUL, LEE JUNWON, and DO HANA walks inside the chaotic police station with confidence.

" i bet you don't even have a trillion won. hey! let's see who ends up behind bars "

the wealthy man speaks with a strong, protective tone.

" geez, he's really overdoing this "

" WON-ah, shush, let me watch this drama in silence "

the teenager playfully rolls her eyes at her yung partner's remark, but complies with his 'request'.

" who the hell is this prick? "

" what? 'prick'? i'm that boy's guardian, you prick! "

" oh, you're his guardian? "

if she was going to be honest, JUNWON wasn't paying attention to their stand-off at all.

all she could focus on was MUN, whose nose was currently bleeding making him look more pitiful.

" why is his nose bleeding? did that crusty old man hit him? aish... "

she oh so badly wanted to run up to her classmate and give him a big hug ( and possibly punch- slap- talk with the invidual who dared to even touch the kind hearted boy ).

HANA noticed the girl not paying attention to what's happening, already knowing where her mind was, pulls the younger girl along with her to move.

for the first time, MUN makes eye contact with the short haired girl. their eyes full of reassurance for each other, even without any words spoken.

i'm here, MUN.

JUNWON is here, for me.

the youngest counters break their eye contact, focusing on JANGMUL's powerful and charismatic speech that JUNWON also thought was a bit too much.

HANA and JUNWON drop their bags full of the metal bars HYUKWOO and his insects used to hurt MUN, JUYEON, and UNGMIN.

" look officers, did we really have to collect these weapons ourselves from the scene? "

JANGMUL critizes the police officers, receiving an embarrassed laugh from one of them.

" this piece of the puzzle. it's crucial because those sons of bitches left these there. retrieve the fingerprints from these and compare them with those punks'. "

he basically tells the blue uniformed personnel to do his MFING JOB. ( sorry yall, this scene just makes me so mad 😭 )

" you're all guilty of attempted murder, and this boy acted in self-defense, you idiots "

" JANGMUL-sunbaenim, +1O3 million. whoever these people are, -1317 trillion. "

" JEONGHAN-oppa, shut up. "

the old man's words is met with complaints once again, the bullies' pathetic parents trying their best to defend their child and denying their wrongdoings.

JUNWON was becoming sick of their behavior, but before she could go up and punch the annoying man's face, her senior counter beat her to it.

she could only stare in awe at how cooly he did the action, while HANA also copied his movements beside her.

the two female counters were filled with pride when the police officer and the adults finally recognized the wealthy looking man in front of them.

when a woman attempted to grab their senior's collar, the police officers and the counters blocked her path.

just when it was about to subside, JUNWON's anger returned when MUN was told to apologize.

" MUN! "

a familiar voice called the curly haired boy, it was JUYEON, along with UNGMIN. the two stood on the staircase, rage clear on their faces.

JUNWON almost cried when she saw how bad they looked; their bloody lips, cheeks, and eyes and their dirty uniforms were evidence of what they went through because of those horrible bastards.

" don't apologize to them "

" never! "

" you think it was just a prank? look what happened! "

JUYEON yells, her frustration towards the adults behavior was clear.

" this is nothing. someone got 2O stitches after getting beaten up by them, a few even dropped out! "

UNGMIN reveals to everyone in the room, sharing the same feeling as his best friend beside him.

" hey, why did you leave the hospital? go home. go on- "

" why are you making them go home? "

JUNWON breaks her silence, changing the tone of her voice to make sure the teacher doesn't recognize her.

" they're not supposed to be here- "

" and why can't they be here? they're the victims, let them speak! people like you are the reason why students commit suicide everyday! you never believe what they're telling you and you let the privileged go without punishment. what kind of teacher are you?! "

DO HANA and CHOI JANGMUL's faces display a proud smile, cheering for the young woman in their heads.

SO MUN stares at his classmate with admiration. JUNWON's sudden use of her deeper voice caught him off guard, but seeing the way she was defending his best friends and criticizing the adults so maturely was inspiring for him.

he wanted to be like her.
an advocate, a protector, and a friend to all.

his eyes sparkled as he watched JUNWON charismatically talk to the parents and police officers, not paying attention to anything else but her.

BONUS

LEE JUNWON brightly smiles at the heartwarming moment in front of her.

CHOI JANGMUL has a similar expression, while DO HANA stays silent, though she quickly looks away to wipe her on coming tears.

" what is it? is this making you miss your family? "

JANGMUL teases HANA who just finished drying her eyes.

" no, it's not. let's go "

JUNWON laughs at the two older counters' interaction, looking at MUN with his grandparents one last time before getting into JANGMUL's sleek black jeep.

" ahh... that made me miss JUNHAN, i should go visit him soon. ahjussi, you should come with me! you too, unnie! "

" oh, JUNHAN! i need to pay him a visit too "

" sure, it's been awhile since i've seen the kid anyway "

" oh he's going to be ecstatic when he hears that you're visiting him "

" me? why would he be happy? "

" it's a sibling thing "
