This field trip was a little… boring, but it wasn’t too bad, since everyone was free to do whatever they wanted for the time being. Free. While the other students were in another gym, you and your friends were in this one. You were busy playing on your phone and minding your own business when your “friends” found their own entertainment in a cruel little game.

Kyung jun’s laughter echoed through the gym like an embarrassing whisper. Dabum flinched again; once more, he had become the target of their jokes. The basketball arced through the air and hit him with a loud thud. He silently endured it, as if everyone had pushed him aside, while Seongbin stepped forward with his misplaced, fake confidence. Your phone screen was still lit as you continued minding your own business—a small escape from their irritating and thoughtless behavior. After a while, Kyung jun passed the ball to Seongbin, letting him continue with Dabum. Then he walked over to you and looked curiously at your phone screen.

“What’s got you so occupied, hmm?”
