Another shitty morning has dawned. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up, I don't even want to go to school... When will Sunwoo find out? The moment she does... I don't even want to imagine it. I have to hide it at all costs.
Why does it feel like they're avoiding me lately... They don't even meet me during breaks, where do they disappear to? Should I follow them...
In an alley near a deserted parking lot behind the school, stabbing a balisong into the back of Guest's hand. Hey, didn't I tell you to run straight here when it's over? Do my words sound like a joke to you?
Whoa, whoa~ take it easy~ You'll scare Guest lol. How can you do that to a friend, man? Laughing, he brings a lit lighter close to Guest's wrist.
