He took a deep breath. Then exhaled slowly. Jake on the side who was busy watching his friend who was behaving strangely just shook his head slowly.

The car key is turned to turn off the engine. Then the key was pulled and gripped tightly. The school bag in the back seat was reached and his school books were checked again.

Stationery all complete!

The books are all ready.

The name tag is also stuck around the neck.

When he felt he was ready to go to school, he smiled a little. At that time he turned to look at Jay again.

Still with the strange action. Inhaling and exhaling, it's like you want to lose your breath.

"Eh, you're not finished with your breathing anymore? It looks like a dying horse to me."

Jay on the other side glanced around while not stopping to exhale.

"Don't you see the creatures near the front? I think they all want to grab me." replied Jay curtly as his eyes focused on a group of male students who were busy chatting under the hut.

"What do people want to do with you? Just chill. I'll be there. Let's go down. It'll be late for the meeting." invite Jake who is ready to open the car door.

Jay on the side is still stiff. He was still hesitant to get out of the car. That's it! Not kidding yesterday, I like it when Yoora asks for a followback from him. Now, I just want to regret it.

"Bro! Hurry down! I want to lock the car."

Jay, like it or not just kept reaching for his school bag. The car door opened slowly while taking a deep breath. Then exhale slowly.

"Jay..." swiped Jake called making Jay rush out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, he heard soft whispers from students passing by.

"Isn't that the boy who was at Yoora yesterday?"

"Yes! That's the nerd boy Yoora told me about! His name is Jay right?"

"Ew, what a shame he's wearing. How dare he try that hot Yoora? If it's me, I'll have realized it a long time ago!"

Jay just looked down. While he waited for Jake to check the condition of his car, he didn't dare look up. He just looked down until Jake pulled his hand to head to class.

"If you don't want to leave class after this, you can just sit in there. After the break, I can buy you food if you want."

"It's okay. People whisper like that, I'm okay. After all, it's my fault, I should have talked to you last night."

Jake shook his head slowly. "But I'm afraid that he will do more than that. You don't know what Yoora is like, do you?"

Jay was silent after that. Not saying a word until they got to their class. The bright morning made the class almost full.

"Uh, I remember this nerd boy didn't dare to show himself after embarrassing himself." said a man who was the class leader in their class.

"Shut up! Why do you want to be busy?" answered Jake as a friend to Jay while the man just stared blankly into the eyes of his class leader.

"You're brave. You should wake up your friend. He's a slob, a nerd, and a fool. He has the heart to try to seduce Yoora. Even if I'm handsome, he'll reject me, not to mention this stupid nerd, right?" sneer again and again. When he gets a response from their classmates, he taunts the nerdy guy even more lively.

Jay just clenched his fists. As stupid as he is, he also has a limit to his patience.

"Don't overdo it! I'll punch you!" Jake was about to punch the man but Jay was quick to stop him.

"No problem, Jake. I'll settle later myself."

Jake just agreed. He lowered his hand again and just glared at the haughty man.

"You're lucky, Jay doesn't think it's a good idea to punch you. If not, I'll work on you when you're gone."

■□■□■□■□■

Jay, who was ready to pack his study table, just got up. Jake's shoulder was gently patted to startle the man from his slumber.

Seeing the man's motherly face, Jay shook his head slowly. Throughout the study, Jake did not wake up from his sleep. Even though he was called by the teacher, he still bowed his head on the table.

"Come on, take a break. We'll go to the bathroom first and wash your face," said Jay and walked away from Jake.

Jay stood in the doorway. Looked down the left and right corridors to make sure no one was on that floor. He was a little grateful because throughout his time in class today, his classmates did not make fun of him about the Han Yoora thing yesterday.

"Let's go," Jay nodded when Jake invited.

On their way to the restroom, a lower-level male student came toward them clutching a file. Wordlessly, the file was handed to Jay.

Jay and Jake who were confused at that moment just looked at the male student with confused expressions.

"Why?" Jay asked slowly.

"I don't know where the file room is. Brother, can you please send this file for me?" asked the male student a little shy. The file stream does not drop. Faithfully waiting for Jay to pick up the file.

While Jay and Jake looked at each other. Like something is wrong.

"But why did Jay have to be sent. You can go to the management block. The file room is near the second floor, the farthest room near the corridor." Jake said with a frown.

Slowly the file in the hand of the male student fell. Disappointed maybe with the rejection.

"I want to go to class quickly because my break is over. It's time for teacher Jimin to go to class. If I'm late, I'll be fined."

They are silent. Don't know what to do. They also know that scary Jimin teacher. Students are not allowed to enter class late, and are told to run around the field in the heat.

"No problem. Let me send it," Jay took the file from the student's hand.

But Jake tried to stop. He seemed to know what was going to happen. "Jay..."

Jay just shook his head. The student just said thank you and ran into the class.

"I'll go send this file first. You go to the toilet. See you later near the canteen,"

"Are you sure? What kind of plan is Yoora going to put on you?" Jake held back.

"What does he want to do? No problem, I'll go send the file for a moment. After that I'll quickly find you. Okay?"

After saying that, Jay continued to run towards the management block to deliver the file.

Jake who saw that just shook his head. "If he's a nerd, he's a really good person." Then he went into the toilet.

When Jay had arrived in front of the file room. He swallowed hard. His heart was beating fast, pounding.

Slowly the door knob was turned and pushed the door without making a sound. As soon as the door opened, he stepped inside.

"I don't think this is the girl's plan," The room's main light switch was pressed. Then, he continued looking for the location of the file.

He immediately placed the files so that several files fell to the floor. "Ah! Times like this you want to fall!"

BOOM!

As Jay collected the file, the door to the room slammed open. The man was surprised and he ran towards the door which was closed tightly.

Hearing several giggles of a girl, Jay clenched his fist, slamming the door hard.

"Yoora! Open the door!" screamed Jay from inside at the same time the laughter outside the room continued to die.

"Oh my girls! We're done! Our nerd brother is angry." Yoora mocked from outside the room and was met with laughter by his friend.

"Yoora!"

"Sorry, Jake. But you yourself know that I don't like ugly and stupid nerds like you. Serve right, Jay!"

After saying that, Yoora and her friends just left the room. Their first plan was a success. They wanted to leave the man alone there since the block was rarely walked.

"Yoora!"

"Han Yoora!"

Jake answered the girl's name but was ignored. Jake clenched his fists to indicate that he was angry with the actions of the girl and his four male friends locked up his friend.

Wasting no time either, Jake kicked the knob so many times that it broke and was able to open the room's door to save his friend who was locked in the room.
