   Summary

   Nothing was right anymore. The air was full of depressing nights, and the drugs didn't help anymore. The school bell that rang for the weekend to begin just sounded like an excuse for Nam gyu to kill himself right there. The group chat got quieter and the responses took longer than usual. Nobody was the same since that Friday night.

   Not much really happened that night; Nam gyu just stopped caring. He stopped texting first, stopped planning hangouts, and he stopped putting in effort.

   All he wanted in life was love. He knew he would never be able to acquire anything of what his sister got, so his second option was to experience love from friendships which he went thru hell to claim any real friends.
