Ji-hoon muttered, "Oh, sorry, my hand lost control. Are you not hurt?"
Eunwoo replied, "It's... fine."
Seojun tapped Ji-hoon from behind. When Ji-hoon turned to look, Seojun punched him in the face. One of Ji-hoon's minions rushed at Seojun, but he swiftly took him down. Another minion stood by doing nothing, so Seojun asked, "Are you not fighting?"
Seong-hoon replied, "Because I know better.
Seojun left him and approached Ji-hoon. "If you ever mess with my brother again, trust me, you are dead."
After the confrontation, Seojun drove off. Eunwoo entered the school where Ji-hoon and his minions stood outside the gate.
Ji-hoon muttered, "I'm gonna kill that guy. Tae-hyung, call Seung-ho. Tell him I need 12 Lazarus boys to deal with that guy."
Seong-hoon replied, "They will never fight him. Don't you know who he is? That's Seojun, the Lazarus boys' ex-boss. He put Seung-ho in charge. No one dares to stop him when he says he wants to take a break."
Ji-hoon replied, "Well, I will take him down, no matter how powerful he is."
Seong-hoon retorted, "Well, good luck with that."
A few minutes later, Eunwoo stood at the classroom door. Hyeon-seok, Eunwoo's friend, was the first to spot him.
Hyeon-seok announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Mr. Eunwoo Kim."
Min-woo chimed in, "Soo-jin's boyfriend."
Eunwoo clarified, "I never said I like her."
Hyeon-seok teased, "You don't need to. Looking at her every 20 seconds is enough to tell."
Min-woo advised, "Just tell her, man."
Eunwoo sighed, "It's not that simple. She is Ji-hoon's sister, remember?"
Hyeon-seok nodded, "Oh, I almost forgot."
Min-woo added, "Anyway, we have training today at 3 pm."
Hyeon-seok questioned, "What? Why at 3 pm?"
Min-woo shrugged, "Why don't you ask the coach himself?"
Later, during the 3 pm training session, the coach addressed the squad. "Buddies, I'm not really cool with you guys. You slack off a lot. You play just like my grandma. In the last interschool matches, you've been losing badly. And you, Eunwoo, I don't know what your problem is. You're among the best players in this school, but you never attempt to score. The same goes for many of you. You think Ji-hoon should always take the shot. We all know he's the best, but if you can have the shot, just bring down a goal."
The students replied, "We're sorry, sir."
The coach continued, "This Saturday's match, I can't afford to lose it. How will I collect the school cup if we do? Get on the pitch and show me what you're made of."
They began their training. Eunwoo had many chances but never scored. Ji-hoon's team kept scoring while Eunwoo's team struggled. At the end, the coach called Eunwoo.
"Eunwoo," the coach said sternly, "If you can't keep your team up, you won't be playing on Saturday. Have a nice day." The coach walked out.
