The two lackeys flinched, but having realized that they misunderstood the situation, they hurried over to hold down Jin-woo's hands.
With an expressionless face, Seo-joon casually stuck his hand inside Jin-woo's shorts and searched the gap between the waistband of his underwear.
After not finding anything on the left, he moved to the right.
At this moment, Jin-woo, who had been motionless, suddenly slipped out of Lackey Two's grip to throw a punch at Seo-joon's face.
However, due to his blurry vision and slow attack because of the current state of his arms after blocking Seo-joon's kicks and punches, Jin-woo missed Seo-joon's face by a hair's breadth as he quickly dodged to the side.
Seo-joon glared at Lackey Two.
"S-Sorry Hyung."
Lackey Two apologized and this time decided to put his knee and entire weight onto Jin-woo's arm along with Lackey One.
Seo-joon went back to searching for Jin-woo's medication, but even as his hand moved around, he couldn't find anything which caused him to frown.
The two lackeys who had been watching silently felt that something was wrong. They had sensed it yesterday when they met up with Jin-woo in the bathroom, but now it was more evident.
They were there back in middle school when Seo-joon got the two-week suspension, in fact, they had got a one-week suspension for being involved as well. So, they knew that Seo-joon once targeted Jin-woo's medication a few times, however, since the incident he never did.
That was until now.
But the thing was, compared to how Seo-joon was going after Jin-woo's medication now to back then, he almost seemed frantic, desperate even, to find his medication.
Seo-joon was just about to tell the two lackeys to turn Jin-woo over after not finding the pill, but his fingers suddenly brushed against something. Eyes flashing, Seo-joon reached further down and pinched the object with his fingers before pulling it out.
Looking at the clear white bag with a pill inside it, Seo-joon smiled slightly and then stood up.
"Asshole, I'm going to report you for sexual assault. Even if I'm considered crazy, your Track career will still be affected."
Jin-woo suddenly lifted his head and spoke to Seo-joon.
The two lackeys looked at Jin-woo surprised, not expecting him to still be able to move.
"Let me go."
Jin-woo said as he shrugged off the two lackeys.
Seo-joon motioned to the two lackeys and they released Jin-woo. He then looked down at Jin-woo and mocked him.
"So, you could move all along. Don't tell me you didn't because you were getting off on me searching you?"
Seo-joon made it a point to glance down at Jin-woo's lower half after saying that. The two lackeys also looked and weird expressions appeared on their faces.
Jin-woo managed to sit up, but that was all he could do without collapsing back to the ground. He ignored Seo-joon's words and said.
"Why bother, that's not my pill."
Seo-joon raised an eyebrow.
"It's not? Then you wouldn't mind if I…"
Seo-joon opened the small clear bag, and after drawing out his words, he turned to look at the pipes running along the gymnasium before walking over to an especially large one that entered the gymnasium building while running along with the others into the ground.
"…Throw it away."
Seo-joon finished his sentence as he stopped next to the large pipe that had a latch on its upright corner that was open. He raised his hand and slowly tilted the opening of the bag over the open latch, all while making eye contact with Jin-woo.
Jin-woo and the two lackeys watched one silently as the pill fell out of the bag into the open latch.
Seeing that Jin-woo didn't react to his medication being thrown away, Seo-joon got bored and tossed the clear white bag over his shoulder. He then walked over to Jin-woo and crouched down in front of him.
Smiling, Seo-joon pulled out a cigarette and lit it. After inhaling a puff of the cigarette, he blew it in Jin-woo's face.
Seo-joon then laid his arm on his knee and rested his head against it in a relaxed manner, all while occasionally taking puffs from his cigarette. The two lackeys went back to smoking as well, realizing Seo-joon was done for the day.
Seo-joon and Jin-woo remained silent as they stared at each other. The only difference between their stares was that Seo-joon seemed to be waiting for something.
After a while, Seo-joon blew out a puff of smoke and broke the silence.
"Go on, rat me out. I guess more rumors are gonna pop up about you being seen in the bathroom with a guy. Maybe it'll be Yoon-min from our class, I can tell you're about to make friends with him, but we can't have that. Haha."
Seo-joon chuckled completely amused by his plans.
Jin-woo's eyes turned colder as he stared at Seo-joon. Seeing this, Seo-joon paused smoking his cigarette and his expression briefly became serious as he said.
"You're nothing but a fucking parasite Jin, that's all you are. You latch onto anyone who comes near you, and you suck and suck until there's nothing left of them. Then after you're done you throw them away and move on. Why bother making friends? Just look at what you did to Seong, you both were in the backseat of that car but he died in that head-on collision while you survived. Why is that?"
Jin-woo's eyes immediately flared with anger as he glared at Seo-joon, but he suddenly glanced away.
"Jin don't listen to him. That isn't true at all!"
Seong said while kneeling next to Jin-woo and glaring at Seo-joon.
Seeing Jin-woo look away, Seo-joon sneered and twisted the knife.
"What? You feeling guilty, Jin? Your best friend died because of you! And then what? You wanna come to school and make friends like nothing ever happened, like he never existed!!"
"…"
Jin-woo remained silent at Seo-joon's increasingly loud yells, but one could see that his fists were clenched tight. However, Seo-joon's next words caused his head to snap up.
"You freak... why weren't you killed instead of Seong?"
Jin-woo looked at Seo-joon utterly confused by his words. Seo-joon's voice was barely above a whisper, but he was so close that Jin-woo had definitely heard him clearly. But that was the reason why he was so confused.
Jin-woo tried his best to see what kind of expression Seo-joon was wearing, but he couldn't see his face clearly despite him being so close.
"What the fuck are you looking at?"
Seo-joon suddenly cursed before flicking his half-finished cigarette at Jin-woo.
Jin-woo flinched back and closed his eyes when the cigarette hit his forehead. Thankfully it was the bud of the cigarette that hit his forehead rather than the lit part.
However, when Jin-woo opened his eyes, he vaguely saw something fall from beneath Seo-joon's chin.
Splat~
The sound that 'something' made when hitting the ground was wet and sloppy.
Jin-woo's eyes instinctively drifted to where that object had fallen onto the ground, and what he saw through his blurry vision caused his entire body to stiffen.
It was… a piece of flesh.
