Chapter 6: Another Side

"Stop it, Sebastian!" Derrick shouted who was suddenly standing behind Sebastian. 

"Why should I stop?" Sebastian said. He didn't loosen his grip on Vesa's neck. 

"Let go of him or I ...." Derrick's voice was filled with pressure that sounded like a threat. 

Unfortunately, Sebastian didn't listen and instead grabbed Vesa's neck even more. Vesa tried to free himself but of course failed, Sebastian gripped him so tightly that the young man was having a hard time breathing. 

Alea who witnessed that suddenly got goosebumps. She did hate Vesa but she didn't want Vesa to die. 

"Sebastian Wright, let him go!" Derrick shouted. 

Sebastian still ignored him. Derrick saw Vesa's pale face, Derrick then pulled the Hoodie jacket that Sebastian was wearing along with Alea which turned out to be pushing Sebastian. 

Sebastian fell hard from the push. Alea was surprised by her own actions. Sebastian looked at her in disbelief. 

Derrick helped Vesa who was very weak from almost out of breath. 

Sebastian stood up and looked strangely at Alea, "What have you done? You defended him?" 

Alea felt dazed, "I ...."

"Why? Don't tell me that you actually like him. Is that so, Alea? Could it be that you've only been pretending you don't like him. Alea, answer!" Sebastian shouted aloud. 

Alea remained silent. 

Derrick who had seen that Vesa was fine said, "So what if Alea likes Vesa? What is wrong? What's the matter with you, Sebastian?"

Sebastian looked at his best friend with an annoyed look. "You too, Derrick. Why are you even defending him? What actually happened? Why did you and Alea change?"

Derrick just looked at him tiredly. He didn't want to argue. He then walked to his own seat and was about to sit down but Sebastian then tackled him instead.

"Damn it. What do you mean, huh?" Derrick snapped Derrick who had just fallen down.

Sebastian instead smiled mockingly.

"I'm tired of being gentle on you, you bastard. You? What a pitiful person, Derrick. If you're not a child of the White family, how would I be your friend. Such a loser. I'm sick of seeing that arrogant face of yours."

Sebastian said and he kicked Derrick's bag. 

Derrick was of course surprised to see him. He had never even thought that the person he had been friends with since they were children had never truly been friends with him. 

Vesa saw Derrick's disappointed face. He then walked to get Derrick's bag which was kicked by Sebastian. 

Sebastian shouted, "What do you want, bastard?"

"Vesa Araya!" Sebastian shouted. 

Vesa didn't respond and he just gave Derrick's bag to the owner of the bag. Sebastian was furious to see the two people who seemed to be defending each other. 

In annoyance, he then punched Vesa in the stomach but Vesa nimbly managed to dodge and then pushed Sebastian until the man hit the table. 

Alea covered her own mouth with both hands. So far, Vesa had never retaliated against anyone who insulted him. He just kept quiet and ignored them. 

However, this time he fought back and didn't look scared at all. Vesa then grabbed Sebastian's neck and then locked the young man's hand until Sebastian couldn't move. 

"Let go of me. How dare you. Are you ready to lose your life, huh?" Sebastian said angrily. 

Vesa twisted Sebastian's hand even more, who then screamed in pain. 

"Fuck you. You're done, Vesa." 

"Isn't it the other way around? You're the one who can finish now. Don't you realize that right now you can't escape from me? If I wanted to, I could easily break your hand," Vesa said calmly. 

Vesa twisted Sebastian's right hand again. 

"Stop it, damn you." Sebastian couldn't stop screaming.

Sebastian's cold sweat was flowing profusely. His hand was already sore. He could barely stand the pain. His face had turned pale. 

"Why should I stop? Or should I just break your leg? How? You kicked Derrick's bag, didn't you? Okay, now it's your leg," Vesa said.

Sebastian glared in surprise. He then shouted, "Okay. Okay. I ... I won't do it again." 

"Do what? Speak it clearly, Sebastian Wright!" Vesa said coldly. 

"I won't bother you anymore." Sebastian said that very forcefully. He didn't want to lose his legs and arms now. It didn't matter this time he admitted defeat this time. 

Vesa certainly didn't believe the words of Sebastian who had bullied her for a long time but for now, he didn't want to prolong the matter so he let go of his classmate. 

Sebastian was quite ashamed of Vesa's treatment and secretly he promised that he would repay Vesa's actions later. 

Derrick White, who had not taken his eyes off the scene before his eyes, could only gape at him. He was too surprised to see another side of Vesa. 

Vesa who used to seem to be a loser, now looked very different. 

"Vesa, are you all right?" Derrick asked with a confused look.
