YOUR EYES ? HIERARCHY (on hold)

THE HEALING TRIP was over and school at jooshin was back in session. the only thing was kang ha was caught sneaking into jung jaei's room at the retreat. there was a supposed trial going on for him. rian and hera went, but rami didn't think to go.

she thought kang ha was just going to get kicked out. so many scholarship kids come and go, she wouldn't be surprised if he was kicked out of jooshin. when rian asked rami to meet him somewhere, that's when he told her kang ha was still going to be attending jooshin.

rami was confused, she didn't know why rian had texted her.  he never texted her out of the blue like that. rami and rian were close, but not close enough to just text each other individually. if they texted it was usually through a group chat with the others.

when the arrived at the location, rami peeked her head into the door seeing where she was. she heard men grunting inside. it was quite dark inside and there was a only a couple of lights on. she stepped inside and saw a boxing ring and equipped that lined the walls.

she was two figures sparring each other in a boxing ring. she saw one figure and figured it was rian, due to his height. she watched the two spar for a few minutes until rian was pushed to the fence. rian hit the fence hard, making the girl flinch.

after giving him time to cool off, the girl walked over to him. once rian noticed her, he got out of the ring and made his way to her. "thanks for coming." the boy said as the two sat on a bench.

"why did you invite me uh—here?" the girl said looking around.

"sorry, i could've chosen somewhere else." the boy said now realizing a boxing place wasn't the best place to meet.

"i knew you were upset about jaei, but not this upset." the girl said talking about the way he was punching and the anger on his face while doing it. "why'd you text me? this never happens. i don't think i remember the last time we only hung out." rami said.

"okay, i was thinking about what hera said and maybe it could work." rian said, wiping his sweat off his face with a towel. his whole body was covered in sweat and rami could even see it dripping from his hair.

"rian are you crazy? how many punches in the head did it take to make you think this would work?" rami asked. the boy rolled his eyes, "rami, think about it. although we're not the closest, our parents are. their company runs all of the technology in jooshin. also parents night is soon, it would be the perfect opportunity."

"i don't know, rian."

"please, rami. i need to get jaei back and i know you want to make woojin jealous." the boy said.

"there's no other way to get jaei back?" the girl asked.

"like hera said, this will be a win-win situation for us. just think about it." he said. the two sat in silence while rami thought of what rian had proposed to her. she wanted woojin, but was this the way to do that? by dating one of his best friends? and what about jaei? she'd be so mad at her for dating rian.

"but isn't the scholarship kid gone? he had a trial today right? so you have nothing to worry about." the girl asked. the boy shook his head, "jaei took the blame and stuck up for him. he's still at jooshin. please, rami, help me out and i swear i'll do you a favor, whatever you want." he sighed.
