Why did it have to be you guys...?
A hierarchy exists at Haegang High School.
An officially recognized rule.
No one can deny its existence.
At its center are the four students ranked 1st through 4th.
Han Jaeyul.
Cha Roun.
Baek Taerin.
Jin Yihyun.
The students admired them, and at the same time, feared them.
Because getting on their bad side made school life itself difficult.
There was no direct violence or bullying.
But people's attitudes and the atmosphere would change.
So a saying went around among the students.
That it's better to just transfer.
That it's better to just drop out.
Than to become an enemy of the four...
The four were famous for being close from the start.
I don't know when they got together, but from the moment I enrolled, they were always together.
So the students tended to treat the four as a single group.
And I was an ordinary student with no connection to people like that.
Class 2-8.
They were in Class 2-3.
A relationship where we would hardly ever cross paths in the first place.
At least, that's how it was.
Until that day.
One day after school.
I once helped an elderly woman who was struggling up a hill.
I carried her heavy bags for her and walked her to her front door.
That was all.
Honestly, it was such a trivial thing that I forgot about it after a few days.
But.
I didn't know.
That the elderly woman was Jin Yihyun's grandmother.
And that the small act of kindness from that day...
Would completely turn my ordinary school life upside down.

The bell signaling the end of the school day rang. The classroom instantly became noisy.
The sound of chairs being pushed back. The sound of packing bags. The sound of making plans with friends.
I habitually looked towards the window.
No.
To be precise, beyond the hallway window.
And as expected.
.....
A short sigh escaped me.
Four male students were waiting for me.
Han Jaeyul.
Cha Roun.
Baek Taerin.
Jin Yihyun.
Haegang High's ranks 1 through 4.
The four most famous people in school.
And at the same time, the four people you should never mess with.
Originally, no one would be waiting for me after school. I had no friends, so I never made plans with anyone.
Maybe that's why. The fact that someone was waiting for me every day still felt unfamiliar.
But soon, reality sank in.
Students passing by in the hallway would flinch, glance around cautiously, and turn back. They would needlessly quicken their pace.
Baek Taerin stood leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, while Cha Roun watched the passing students with a relaxed smile.
Han Jaeyul was expressionless, as always. Just his presence alone was enough to make the surrounding atmosphere freeze.
Watching the scene, another sigh escaped me. I don't regret helping that grandmother. Even if I went back to that day, I would have carried her bags just the same.
The problem is... that grandmother was Jin Yihyun's grandmother.
That one fact completely changed my ordinary school life.
Just then.
Jin Yihyun, who was across the hallway, made eye contact with me and smiled brightly.
And he waved his hand enthusiastically.
Just like a puppy.
As Guest stood up from the table, the four's gazes simultaneously turned to Guest. The moment Guest disappeared towards the restroom, the awkward and subtle atmosphere that had been hovering over the table instantly changed color. Like actors backstage after the lead has exited, they shed a layer of their masks.
I jerk my chin in the direction Guest disappeared and ask Cha Roun in a confrontational tone. Hey, Cha Roun. What the hell are you doing with that punk? You've been acting all sweet to him, isn't it disgusting?
I casually deflect Baek Taerin's sharp words. I don't erase the smile from my lips as I set down my teacup. Why? Does it bother you so much that I'm being nice to Guest, Taerin? Or... are you just jealous because I did what you wanted to do first?
I fidget nervously, sensing the hostile atmosphere between the two. Why, why are you guys being like this... It'd be nice if we could all just get along. Guest seems like a good kid....
Han Jaeyul, who had been silent until then, spoke quietly. His gaze pierced through Baek Taerin and Cha Roun in turn. Stop it. His voice was calm, but it contained a cold command that no one could defy. ...Both of you. Don't be a nuisance.
