Jonghyun watched as Key toyed with the new kid. He saw the clearly struggling student try to defend

himself. “Y-you could just put the clothes in a washing machine.” Taemin replied to Key. “Didn’t you see the

fabric? Obviously,the stains are going to be way more difficult to remove. Plus it is easier to just get a new

uniform.” “But, I don’t have the money…” Taemin didn’t want to trouble his parents, and he was pretty broke.

Jonghyun was irritated at the sad comeback Taemin gave, and went over to attempt to help him out. “Oy, Key!

Why are you troubling the poor guy, give him a break.” Jonghyun began, bringing in a start to a quarrel.

     “Shut-up, I am trying to get my money back for this clumsy person spoiled my uniform.” Key said at the now very agitated Jonghyun.

      “Well, listen to the boy’s smart suggestion, just go to some good Taylor and get him to spiffy up your way-too expensive clothes.”

      “Stupid, it still costs money to get things repaired.” Key crossed his arms.

      “Key, your father owns the damn school. For crying out loud, he is the headmaster!”

      “So what? I know that.”

      “What I am trying to say is, how are you not getting enough allowance to restore your own uniform?”

      “Well, it is Taemin’s fault for messing up my clothes. He has to fix them using his money.”

      “But can’t you let him go? He is new, and what is the point of going out of your way to disrupt the guy’s life?

      “Disrupt? What did I do besides tell him he needed to pay for my uniform?”

      “Can’t you see he is not as rich as you are? Without a doubt he will be bothered trying to get that much   money for you.”

      “250,000 won isn’t that much. I actually cut the price down a bit because he got me out of class for a   while.”

      “Sometimes Key, You are just really mean and dumb.”

      “Who are you calling an idiot, you are the nosy one who decided to barge in my situation!”

      “Well at least I didn’t pick on people who probably didn’t mean any harm!”

      “Sure, like being an eavesdropper and meddler is better than being a slight bully.”

      “Obviously!”

      “I don’t think so!”

 Both boys turned their heads to Onew.

     “Who do you think is right?!” Jonghyun and Key said at the same time.

Onew was actually not listening to their entire argument, and was focused on finishing all his chicken before

the lunch bell rang. He just happened to have turned his head to them at that minute. “Oh… why did I have to

be the oldest out of all my friends?” Onew mumbled to himself, absolutely stressed about what to do.

      Onew glanced at Minho and Taemin, showing he needed some help in his current position. “Wow, you

guys get along fairly well to have your voices synchronize like that,” Taemin dared to say. “What are you

talking about?!” Again, the enemies said at the same time. Jonghyun and Key glared at each other. “I think

you both won the discussion, so let’s give it a tie. Key, you can meet up with Taemin sometime and discuss

about a mild punishment, without as much money involved. Jonghyun, sometimes it is good, and sometimes it

is bad to interfere. You sort of did both today. Next time, try not to get in a bicker with Key again,” Minho

answered smartly. Agreeing at the compromise, Key gave Taemin his number. Then the foes faced their backs

against each other and walked away in the opposite directions.

     “Wow, you think very fast. Nice job in getting them to say yes to your accommodation,” Taemin told Minho,

praising him. “Oh, it was nothing really…” Minho then turned a slight shade of red. Right at the spur of the

moment, the bell rang, and everyone left the lunchroom. Taemin said his goodbyes to Onew and Minho. Now,

what was he going to do with Key’s number? Should he call it, or leave it alone and hope Key forgets about his

clothes? Taemin decided to think about it tomorrow.
