Episode 13

In the gym...

It all happened so fast. One moment I was sitting on Lee Na's arm with my legs wrapped around the appendage and the next I found myself face down on the ground out cold. My mind didn't even have time to digest what happened. The rest of the students watched with either open mouths or terrified expressions after witnessing what had happened.

"Maybe this one needs a harsher punishment." Lee Na mused as she looked at me, cracking her fingers loudly. "He after all attempted to attack the Wild's Guard. I won't tolerate such behavior."

"W-Wait! Please forgive him!" Moon Young quickly threw her body over mine protectively as she gazed up at the alum. "He didn't mean to lash out at you! Honest!"

"Are you...talking back to Lee Na?" One of the other W.G members asked but Moon Young only looked at the blonde, trembling underneath the piercing purple orbs but swallowed her fears. This was a once in a lifetime moment when she talked to the guard.

"Moon Young Lee!"

"Y-Yes!" She sat up straight when Lee Na spoke her name.

"Escort him and the rest of your friends out of the ring."

"T-Thank you Ma'am! I understand!" She said as she wrapped my arm over her shoulder and hoisted me up. "Let's go, Dal Dal! Hurry now!"

"Yeah...whatever you say." She replied, looking at Lee Na with wonder. She's really scary...Scarier than Queen that's for sure...

"For those from other schools." Lee Na then turned her attention to Hye Shin and her group, that still cold expression upon her face. "See you at the Wild's League. But for today, please go home."

"What...? What are you?!" Hye Shin shouted back, gritting her teeth with frustration. "Who gave you the right to tell us what to do or not to do! Do you even know who you're talking to?!" However Lee Na closed the distance between them and placed a hand on her shoulder, causing the red-haired fighter to tense up. "Wha..." My nerves...what happened?!

"The Wild's Guard is immune from any repercussions as far as any legal action is concerned. If you choose to ignore our warnings..." Applying a little more pressure on the vital point in the shoulder, she forced Hye Shin to her knees without much effort. "You may not be able to walk for the rest of your life."

"Hey, Moon Young! The Wild's Guard in the middle...you know her?" Dal Dal asked, giving Lee Na another look and burning her image into her mind. "I've never seen her before!"

"I know her...She graduated from Wild's High 4 years ago." Moon Young replied as the guard ordered the other girls to help Hye Shin up, noting that her body will return to normal in a couple minutes. The other two guards stood beside her, watching silently as the Gura High students filed out without any more words. There were some that muttered something under their breaths but they didn't dare raise their complaints. "During her school days her record is 35 wins out of 35 fights! And 32 of them were KO's."

"You're blushing you know that..." Dal Dal commented, folding her arms behind her head. "But yeah...that's some record..."

My dream...is standing right there. The boxing club captain couldn't help but grin. I wanna be just like her.

"You should probably take Tobias to the medical bay...stop ogling the ladies." Dal Dal coughed, disrupting her thoughts.

"Have some tea before it gets cold." Charles spoke as both Jae Gu and Queen sat in his office. He had summoned them as soon as the fighting fiasco was handled by the Wild's Guard. "Queen...you tell him yourself since you both are students of Wild's. S-class correct?"

"Yes." She replied.

"As to the incident...don't forget that you're students. It means you should abide by the student code of conduct." The Board of President sighed before addressing Jae Gu. "Well, Jae Gu. We promised you the scholarship, but that was to help you adapt to this school life as one of the first male students and an example for those who will enter this school in the future. Although there are many students who are not accepting Queen's unexpected decision, still, I can't let you do something that is against the tradition of the Wild's..."

It was out of my control anyway...Jae Gu bit his lip to keep quiet. It wouldn't do him well if he were to flab his lips.

"We're in a deadlock...you decide whether to join the league or not. We will find a solution for this matter in a staff meeting. So until then, you two stay put and wait for the board's decision."

"...yes, sir."

"Yes."

"While it's tragic what's happened to our other male student I think there still has to be some sort of punishment." Charles continued, rubbing his chin in thought. "Therefore Jae Gu, as punishment you are to clean up the freshmen restrooms. Make sure to tell Tobias as well after he comes around. Didn't realize that Lee Na would send him to sleep like that!"

This isn't something...I imagined would happen. The boy thought as he scrubbed the floor right after the meeting with a mop. Well it could have been worse...I should really count my blessings...

"Uh...hey." Queen spoke as she stood outside the doors, getting his attention. "I tried to leave you alone like you wanted...but every move I make seems to drive you into trouble...Actually...you don't know how much I wanted to run to save you before Moon Young went...but once the W.G appeared I didn't have to worry anymore..."

"That's enough. I'll handle everything by myself, please stay away. I won't ask for any favors." He dipped the mop into a bucket of water before something else crossed his mind. "Oh, yeah! Just one more thing. If you see Moon Young or Dal Dal please tell them I appreciate what they did for me. I'll go and see Tobi once I'm finished here."

"Huh? ...Sure." Taking her leave Queen disappeared through the hallways, ignoring the freshman and was greeted by Moon Young outside. The captain of the boxing club was confused by seeing her but decided to tease regardless, noting how cute the normally stoic fighter was.


After school...

Waking up in the medical bay I was visited by Jae Gu just as he promised. We talked for awhile and I couldn't help but wince about the punishment but I just sighed in defeat. Soon a couple of freshmen girls rushed in to tell Jae Gu that he had visitors. Apologizing for not being able to stay and walking home together as usual he left in a hurry. The girls stayed until the nurse came to discharge me, waving good bye as I prepared to head out.

But those ladies of the W.G were hella amazing...my first time meeting them. I thought to myself, glancing up at the sky in wonder. I really appreciated the nap I took, really needed it to be honest. I couldn't last a second against her...

BRIIIIING~ BRIIIIIIIING~

"H-H-Hello?" I pulled out my phone from my pocket and held it to my ear. It's been awhile since I've gotten a call from anyone, I don't even remember who was the last person who called me. "Tobias here, who am I speaking to?"

"Yo! Hey ToTo! How's my favorite bro?" A rumbustious voice floated through the speaker followed by the sound of laughter. "Oh man I wish I could see the look on your face right now! I finally found time to call you directly despite my schedule instead of calling your home! Although I do miss the voice of your sister...she's such a pure angel~"

"What did I say about giving me that nickname Rhynt...?" I felt my face heat up with embarrassment and picked up the pace, spotting Hwa Yeon's apartment coming around the bend. "You called me that before you traveled to Korea and now you're calling me that again? And hey...what are you implying about with my sister?"

"Sorry, old habits die hard and sadly I just remembered that nickname one day ago. Now time for serious talk, tell me how's your Korea experience?"

That bastard...avoiding the question involving my sister..."You know I really like it here, it's beautiful just like you told me when I pestered you about your travel." I told him and spoke about my school experience from the beginning. He was such a good listener, letting out some 'Mmm' and 'Aha I see' at certain parts. "Hwa Yeon is a really great hostess, I couldn't even begin to thank the both or you for allowing me this opportunity."

"Nah, don't worry about that. I should thank you for keep Hwa Yeon company while I'm over here. Are you doing well in school?"

"Yeah yeah, I'm doing alright." I told him as I walked up the stairs, pulling a key out of my pocket. "It was weird to start off with but I'm really liking it for sure!"

"By the way...have you found a girlfriend yet?"

"EHHH?!" I fumbled at the last moment, crashing to the ground at the question once the door was unlocked. "W-W-What are you asking out of the blue?!"

"Tobias? Is that you?" Hwa Yeon popped her head out of the kitchen as I picked myself off the floor. "Welcome home, are you okay?"

"I-I am fine...I'm fine..." I told her before holding out my phone to her, taking my shoes off as I said so. "By the way, this is for you. You haven't spoken to him in awhile right? I've talked long enough."

"Oh? Hi Rhynt." Hwa Yeon smiled, taking the phone from me and talked to her boyfriend. "Mmmm~ Yep everything was great and I helped Tobias ease into his new environment. Yup! When will you be able to come over to visit?"

They're so cute together. I smiled, watching as her face just lit up when talking to her significant other. Excusing myself to my room I propped open my laptop and checked my mail. Despite the number of emails that cluttered my inbox one caught my attention. Moving the mouse across the screen I double-clicked and began reading.

Dear Big Brother:

I hope you're having fun in Korea! Did I ever mention that I'm really jealous about that? I tell all my friends at school and they are jealous of you as well! You better be making friends instead of seeking refuge in Rhynt's girlfriend's apartment...cause if you don't then you have something coming your way! Speaking of which Mom and I spend a lot of effort putting something together and we'll definitely send it out tonight or so. But I won't say anything else because that'd ruin the surprise. Anyways I gotta go, I hope to hear from you soon Brother! Maybe when you have the time it wouldn't heard to talk to use over Skype ya know?

Your ever loving sister,

Seria

Heh, that's so cute. So glad she hasn't changed since I left. I smiled before typing out a response, my fingers gracing over the keyboard. I should take her up on the offer and do one of those calls...and probably we can get Rhynt in on the action. We'll make it an awesome video chat.

"Hey Tobias! Dinner's ready!"

"Coming!" I replied, sending out the mail and closed my laptop. I'm really starving...even more than usual. Must be because I used up a lot of energy.


Elsewhere...

"Jae Hyeong I know you fought today in school but I thought I told you you can't start picking a fight with the other kids. No matter what happens fighting is wrong." Jae Gu sighed as he walked his two siblings back home, holding on to both their hands. The reason why he left early was because the visitors were his siblings and one of the teachers notified him that his younger brother punched another kid.

"That jerk started it first though! He said Jae Som is dirty because she didn't have a mommy!" His younger brother had said, justifying his actions. "Don't worry Jae Gu, you told me to take care of Jae Som! So, I'm taking care of her cause I'm a man...!"

"Jae Hyeong..."

"I am...a man! I have a big brother and...so..." Tears began to fall from the child's face as he stood trembling before Jae Gu. "We are...okay...without a mommy...really...!"

"There there...c'mere you two..." Jae Gu coaxed them, pulling them close before addressing the teacher who waited beside them. "I'm so sorry Ma'am...I will talk some sense into them tonight. They'll be okay tomorrow."

It really is hard for them...living like this while I provide for them. But I have to do whatever I can for them, no matter what. The boy thought as he looked at his two siblings. "Hey Jae Hyeong~ Do you want sausages for dinner tonight?"

"Really?! Really?!" Jae Hyeong's face lit up with excitement and he pulled on his brother's arm playfully. "You mean it Jae Gu?! Can we really have some?"

"You piggy!" Jae Som commented but she was also excited.

"Sure, I'll just ask my boss if I can take tonight off!" Jae Gu smiled, happy that his siblings were happy as well. "Then we'll have dinner together and have fun too!"

"Slave Song! Right?" A voice called out, causing Jae Gu to come to a stop. His body had stiffened up at the nickname and he slowly turned to see a red-haired boy walking alongside two other boys. "Wow~! Slave Song! You grew much taller in a couple of months I could barely recognize you~! Hahahaha!"

"Oh hi there..." He mumbled in response. God damn it, I really didn't want to run into him of all places...

"Hey, you go to high school nearby right? My buddies and I go to Gura~" The red-head smiled as he gestured to the other two standing behind him. "Fancy meeting you~"

"Ah...I was nice talking to you but I need to hurry home with my brother and sister...ahahaha..." Jae Gu apologized quickly, trying to usher his siblings along. He didn't feel comfortable and wanted to run away as fast as he could. "So, I'll probably see you later okay? Bye."

"Isn't that your friend?"

"Let's go, Jae Som!" However something grabbed the back of his jacket and Jae Gu glanced over his shoulder to see that the red-haired boy had stopped him. "Umm...can I help you?"

"What's with that attitude? It's been so long since we last met."

"Well...um..." The expression on the boy's face began to change, one full of disgust and scorn.

"Oh...you dirty rat! You're blowing me off huh? Aren't you you stinky bastard? That look on your face makes me feel damn dirty. Lets see if I can change it in a matter of minutes."
