POWER || LOOKISM

CHAPTER 17

You were stationed in the construction building where a majority of the prisoners were doing some work, cutting wood and other tasks.

"Of all places you could get work experience, you choose a prison." You looked over to Jason who was working but his eyes glanced over to you for a second causing you to smile.

"It'll look good on my college application." You said, seeing him raise a brow over your answer.

"That's bullshit."

You lightly laughed before giving him a nod.

"That's true. I'm here on a mission." You used two fingers to imitate a gun and Jason was amused, smiling in your direction.

He noticed Jiho approach him from behind, a smirk painting his lips before he spoke up. You crossed your arms and leaned against the table, Jiho glancing at you before focusing back on the older boy in front of him.

"Are you going to push me? Make me unconscious? Like the friend you pushed?" Jason taunted as he looked at Jiho who looked to you again, knowing you were affected by what had been said.

His words struck a chord inside of you but you kept your emotions in check.

"I'll take your silence as regret. You pushed him and that's why you're here." Jason said.

Jiho was quiet until he found the words he wanted to say.

"I do regret. If I could turn back time, I wouldn't do it...If I could turn back time..."

"I wouldn't have pushed him myself."

You moved in time, slinging an arm around Jason's shoulder who gazed up at you with wonder but your eyes were set on Wally who froze in place, not able to do his task to push Jason into the saw.

Jason realised what was about to happen and glared at Jiho who was pissed that you had intervened.

"What? Are you going to push me like how you pushed my friend?" You stared at Jiho with malice and he gritted his teeth, knowing he was at a loss.

Jason was stunned as he came to a conclusion that the boy who Jiho had almost murdered was in fact your friend.

"What's going on here?" One of the guards walked by and you smiled in his direction.

"Just a small fight but I've sorted it out." You assured him and he nodded, returning to his spot in the room.

You then moved your attention back onto Jiho and used your finger to point at Wally.

"Both of you leave before I make you." You threatened with a dark look flashing in your eyes.

Jiho was beyond angry as he felt humiliated for what you had done to him but he had no choice, walking away with Wally who glanced at you with fear for a moment.

"Thanks."

You stepped back from Jason and smiled, happy that you could be of help.

"No problem."

You stuck out your fist and he chuckled before bumping his own against yours.

Jason moved his focus on the spot Jiho once stood on and felt anger build up, knowing he would sort him out after in the prison yard as soon as they stepped out.

"You're [F/N], right?"

You were on duty in the prison yard and you raised a brow at Darius Hong who gazed down at you with a look of disgust.
