Summary: Sehun is on the top of Seoul High School social pyramid, alongside his best friends, Zitao and Kyungsoo. They always take the same classes every semester.

Sehun is stuck with Kim Jongin until the end of the semester.
(Previous) "Sehun? Sehun? Can you hear me?" Zitao is flicking his finger in front of Sehun's blank face, trying to get the blonde's attention back to him again.
"Ah yes what? You will go to China this week and?" Sehun asks, trying to show Zitao that he's been listening to what the model said until now but fails miserably because the model is wearing his frown right now.
Sehun notices that immediately apologize, "Sorry, Zitao. I've been really distracted lately" he says, sighing.
"What happened, Sehun?" Kyungsoo pipes out from beside him, finally raising his head now from the book he's reading. Now, that means Sehun's distracted state lately is a serious matter Kyungsoo is willing to avert his attention from his book to Sehun.
Just in time, Jongin passes their table with Minseok and Yixing. Minseok and Yixing stop at their table, saying hi and asking how they're doing. Sehun's eyes never leave Jongin's form, who is awkwardly saying hi and more awkwardly saying that he has to go first, eyes never meet Sehun's. Sehun can feel Kyungsoo's eyes boring into him but he ignores it.
Sehun's phone beeps inside his pocket, and he takes it out. His mouth automatically forms a smirk when he sees what's written on his phone screen.
"Guys" he says suddenly, stopping the conversation between Zitao and Minseok & Yixing about dance competition somewhere. Sehun raises from his seat and smoothens his uniform shirt, "I'll go first, okay?"
Kyungsoo stops his writing, "Why? What happened?"
Sehun winks to Kyungsoo, "It's show time" he says as he walks towards the school swimming pool.
Time to teach someone a lesson.
---
The school swimming pool looks empty from outside, there's no usual chit chats and the sound of water splashing everywhere, well it's not Saturday, so it's a nice time to run the plan.
Sehun opens the door inside, and there's someone approaching him with a smile plastered in his face.
"Hey, what's up?" Sehun greets as they do a brohug. Standing before him is Chansung, Sehun's friend from another school, the Incheon High of Martial Arts. Nobody knows that they are friends but they share a history before. No, not the kind of dating history but Sehun was once almost being hit by Chansung and their team because someone (out of all people who hate Sehun) framed him and asked Chansung for help. By the end, they knew the truth and they did a payback for the person who framed Sehun.
There's no harm on teaming up again, hmm?
"Good as ever, boy. How's you?" Chansung greets back, giving Sehun a once over. "Still living on the jet set life?"
Sehun scoffs, as if the one who asks is not living his jet set life himself, "When do I not?"
There are calling of Sehun from above and Sehun looks up to see Taecyeon and Jinwoon, saying hi excitedly at him. Sehun gives them a wave, and an additional smile seeing what they're holding between them.
None other than, Zico. Hands tied. Eyes closed. Another cloth between his lips to prevent him from screaming. On the highest springboard the school swimming pool has.
"What mess did this guy make?" Chansung nudges from beside.
"You know the seoulhigh-cut?" Sehun asks, eyes trained on Zico's form who is kneeling beside Taecyeon. Chansung shakes his head.
"The kids at your school don't really like gossip, do they?"
Changsung raises both of his hands in front of his chest, "Woops it's an all boy school with no rome for gossip other than about girls girls and girls. There's no room for talking about you"
"He made a blog, dedicated TO me" Changsung makes a confused face, but Sehun adds "All bullshits he made about me"
"I see.."
Sehun turns his head to Changsung, "Should we start?" which replied by the latter's nod.
They climb to the top of the springboard, meeting Taecyeon and Jinwoon there. Sehun makes a signal for them to bring Zico to the more stabile ground, and lay him with Zico's back against the wall.
Sehun walks closer to Zico, and opens the blindfold. Sehun is greeted with Zico's wide eyes starring at him, somehow, surprised.
Sehun tsks, "I am genuinely surprised you are STILL surprised to see me, Zico. Like, really"
"Shouldn't you have seen this coming?" Sehun adds.
No answer. Just a mumbled nggh and ughh manage to escape from Zico's mouth.
Sehun gestures Taecyeon and Jinwoon to get a grip on Zico again. Zico tries to back away when Taec and Jinwoon get close to him, but he can't go anywhere more than 2 cm because well, he's tied on his wrists and ankles.
They drag Zico to the edge of the spring board, laying him face down with his face directly staring at the crystal clear water below. Zico makes movement to get away from the edge but Taecyeon's strong hands pinned him in place.
Sehun walks to the edge, after telling Taec and Jinwoon to walk back. Sehun crouches down slowly by Zico's body, not feeling scared at all. Because he is used to the heights already.
"Now you know how it feels to feel helpless, right, Zico?" He breathes into Zico's right ear, feeling Zico whimpering under his body. And the he moves to his right, "Now you know how it felt to be Jongin that day? Helpless, clueless. Jongin was lucky I had his back. But you?"
"Who will save you if I throw you right here right now?"
Sehun can feel Zico's body trembling under him, there's a possibility Zico can fall on his own.
Sehun moves Zico again to the stable ground, leaning him back on the wall again.
"Now here" Sehun reaches out behind to retrieve his phone from his pocket, "I won't make this long. I have better things to do" Sehun flicks his phone on, and scrolling through the contents until he finds what he needs.
"Zico, I want to ask you a question"
Zico looks up, and then Sehun unties the cloth between Zico's lips. The moment the cloth frees, Zico heaves heavily, trying to get air to his lungs.
"You..." Zico grits through his teeth after he finds strengh to breathe. But Sehun cuts him first before he gets to say more.
"Nuh-uh. I haven't give you the question yet. The question is: where is your father?"
Zico seems puzzled by the question, but he puts his unfazed expression on his face to show Sehun he's unaffected, but oh boy, Sehun knows he's scared to death when it comes to matters about his father. His father is now planning to run for the election and Zico, as a nice son he is, really wants his father to win.
"My father is in the Blue House, as far as I know" he answers.
Sehun's lips raises on one of its edge, forming a devilish smirk. "Good thing to hear, I don't have to go as far as mailing the entire government. Just one mail and everybody knows"
"What mail?!"
Sehun doesn't answer, only holds his phone on Zico's eye level with the screen faces him. And how badly Sehun wants to have a camera with him right now because Zico's pale face is definitely:
Priceless.
Because the thing on Sehun's phone screen is none other but, Zico himself. A photo taken on one of the bar in Seoul few months ago, with two girls on Zico's both sides. One girl is kissing with him, and the other girls is playing his finger across Zico's chest, too close to his pants for to be called innocent.
Sehun swipes the screen to the left with his finely treated finger, to show another photo with Zico and one of the girls, now walking towards a hotel room. The rest is history.
"Now you know how to connect the dots, Zico?" Sehun says as he puts his phone away from Zico's face.
"Where did you get that photo?!" Zico roars, his eyes and face red with rage.
"I have my own resources" Sehun replies carelessly.
To be honest, the photos are all from Donghae. Him and Zico were hanging out together at the time the photo is taken, Donghae only took them as a joke but Sehun found that when he was scrolling through Donghae's phone gallery when they had dinner together a few days ago. Sehun immediately sent the photos to his email and made sure to delete all of the traces (Donghae doesn't need to know).
"Don't you dare sending them..."
"Do you think I'm afraid? I have my person ready to deliver it the moment I call him"
Zico's eyes widen in surprise, doesn't know that Sehun will go this far and planned everything beforehand.
"What will the government say about this, Zico? That Mr. Woo failed at educating his children? Clearly underage, to add more, clubbing and sex? It's so juicy my mouth waters just by thinking about it"
There's silence between them and Sehun keeps his eyes on Zico who has his head down right now, body shaking with rage and also tears.
"Please, don't" Zico finally says, not loud but enough for Sehun to hear.
Sehun commands Taecyeon and Jinwoon to raise Zico from where he sits, the boy doesn't do anything to rebel, now that he is physically (and mentally) exhausted. Sehun unties the rope on Zico's wrist and ankles before telling Taecyeon and Jinwoon to drag him to the edge of the platform.
"I won't be heartless, can I borrow your phone?" Sehun asks for formality when he actually doesn't have to because Taecyeon is giving Zico's phone now to Sehun.
Sehun scrolls through Zico's contact, stopping and presses the call button to connect him to the person he wants to.
"Hello?" Sehun greets as soon as the phone connects, the other side of the phone is clearly surprised hearing Sehun greeting him from Zico's phone. Sehun doesn't wait for the person's answer before he adds, " Bring you and your friends if you want Zico still alive by tonight" and then he ends the call.
It's not long until the door to the school swimming pool bursts open, revealing Jihoon (who Sehun just called minutes before), Taeil and of course! Donghae.
Sehun leans down to catch what Zico's been saying until now in soft whispers, "Please don't. What should I do to stop you to send that?"
Sehun leans back, "I think you know what you should do. I won't send this if you do what you have to do"
"Guys, leave him alone. Let's just leave and get lunch" Sehun says, walking back to the stairs with Chansung, Taecyeon and Jinwoon behind him. Leaving Zico there still trembling curling up into a fetal position in place, too tired (or too scared to move).
"If you did something again to Zico" there's a threat coming from Jihoon's mouth when Sehun passes Zico's friends on the way down.
"If I were you, I would not dare after seeing what I can do today" is Sehun's only answers.
Before going out from the swimming pool building, Sehun stops near Donghae who is still rooting on the spot, looking up, mouth agape, near the door. Sehun leans closer and whispers, "Thank you" before he gets out.
Later at night, Sehun finally feels a little bit better as he toasts the wine glass during dinner with Zitao, Kyungsoo and his other friends (Chansung, Taecyeon and Jinwoon included), celebrating the dissapearance of the blog, forever.
Now Sehun has one last thing be fixed.
For once again in his life, he doesn't know what to do.
