For the whole week, Jungwoo was like a madman. He often paced back and forth trying to think of a way to separate his sister from the so called asshole. He tried telling Hera the truth, believe him, he did but Hera didn't believe him. It only made sense that she didn't as Jungwoo never liked Yukhei in the first place.
Other than that, he tried dealing with Yukhei himself but his sister was always around and so was Yukhei's friends. Calling him out would just stir a huge drama in the school and it would embarrass his sister as well.
The male ran a hand through his hair, he had never went through such difficult situation. One, he couldn't solve by calculating the amount or by substituting the problems into unknowns. There was no theory he could refer to, it was all on his own. He had to create a formula to solve it and it was driving him nuts.
Every time Jungwoo watched Hera and Yukhei together, he wanted to tear the male limb from limb as he held on her hand or even slung an arm around her shoulders. He wanted to rip the smile off his face whenever Yukhei gazed at his sister. However, no one bothered about his reaction towards Yukhei, it was nothing new even though he was obviously becoming more salty.
"I'll be home before 11!" Hera yelled to her brother as she descended down the stairs to her front door. "Can't you not go out with him?" Jungwoo followed her behind. "We're not having this talk now." Hera swiftly replied before shutting the front door to her brother, leaving with Yukhei and a few of his friends.
The twin sighed, so far Yukhei wasn't showing signs of breaking her heart, yet. Jungwoo didn't know when he planned to do so but he was making sure he'll be there when that happens so it'll be a perfect time to physically harm the tall guy. Hurting Hera meant hurting him as well because the two were basically connected to one another and he wished Hera was never harmed.

"Hey, you won't leave me for another guy right?" Yukhei asked, as his hand grabbed hers while the two walked down the streets. "Funny, I should ask you that." Hera chuckled. "I thought I made it clear that I've changed." The male released his grip on her hand and slung his arm around her shoulders instead, pulling her to his side.
"Yeah, I think you made that clear enough for me." She replied, covering her ears with both of her hands indicating that her ears were bleeding from his constant reminders. "But not clear enough for your twin." Yukhei added. "He's overprotective at times, mostly because he trust his instincts too much. He'll open up, I'm sure." Hera said almost sighing at the thought of Jungwoo.
Though she appreciated having him by her side but at times it could be frustrating trying to convince him. He was glued to his roots, and he never doubted his guts.

Wong Yukhei wasn't the only one on Jungwoo's blacklist. His fellow prefect, Maya was also one of it. Since Homecoming was nearing, the Student Coucil had more meetings to make sure everything was progressing and every time Jungwoo was made to sit, facing the members which included Maya, he had to hold back the urge from throwing his chair at her.
However, it also made him think. Maya wasn't the social type, what did she ever had against Hera to call such an awful bet against his sister?
He ought to find out about that sooner or later, in the mean time he had to keep calm in order to get the secret out of Maya's own lips. His glares were noticeable by Maya but she was in no position to ask as she knew it would only bring her harm. Though Maya herself wasn't sure of what Jungwoo know about the bet but she had to keep her mouth shut to prevent further conflicts.
"Earth to Jungwoo?"
The named male blinked a few times and stared back at Koeun who just snapped her fingers in front of him, causing him to break the glare he was shooting Maya. "Sorry, what?" Jungwoo asked which only made the vice rolled her eyes again.
"I asked you if we should announce the final nominees for Homecoming tomorrow." Koeun repeated, her eyes looked up from her notebook towards the male, everyone else waiting for an answer as well.
Jungwoo pressed his lips into a thin line. The silence was strange, everyone noticed that he wasn't acting like himself. The whole time, Jungwoo never bothered to hide the fact he was glaring at Maya. "Why don't we ask what Maya thinks?" He voiced and everyone else had their heads turn towards the named girl.
"Me?" Maya questioned, obviously taken aback. "Yes, since you are the one in charged in uploading the names and supposedly that was an easy task, given no mistake was to be made." Jungwoo placed his chin on his palm as he looked at her. "Excuse me?" Maya questioned again, she could tell Jungwoo wanted to say something else.
"I think Hera made it clear to leave her name out of the list no matter what, how was it a mistake that she was nominated?" Jungwoo spat directly. Everyone else could feel tension rose in the room. Jungwoo was never like this, he was always kind with his words but every word coming out of his mouth right now was as sharp as a razor.
Maya looked away from him, as if someone could help her out but everyone else was just as curious. Every year, Hera would never fail to have her brother remind the whole board that she didn't want to be listed as a nominee. "Was it simply an error or was it an ill intention?" Jungwoo asked. The male stared at her a for a few seconds, enough to give her a warning that this wasn't over.
"Sorry, I shouldn't be too strict. Everyone makes mistakes, and to answer your question Koeun, yes let's announce it tomorrow." Jungwoo casually pointed out which confused everyone. "Oh and Maya, don't forget to cross my sister out of the list." Jungwoo smiled, but it was an eerie one.
