"So, what about the rules?" J-Hope spoke from behind the wheel of a car that has a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour, the Lamborghini Aventador.

Hoshi smiled, "Please make the rules, sir racer."

J-Hope laughed. Seeing Hoshi underestimating him, made him even more challenged and eager to break the arrogance of his students.

"Okay, the rules are easy. You see that Daeguk Mountain? The first to light the big torch there, he is the winner. " Said J-Hope with a light smile.

"Mount Daeguk? We recommend that you prepare our moving files. " Hoshi said confidently.

Hoshi, who uses the Lamborghini Huracan series, plays with the gas pedal which makes the car exhaust sound noisy. Hoshi intended to suppress J-Hope's mentality but the man was a professional racer, J-Hope only smiled while occasionally responding to the noise of Hoshi's exhaust.

Jun was standing in the middle, between J-Hope and Hoshi's car, counting down to start the race. When the count ended and Jun's hands were down, the two cars immediately pressed the gas pedal together. The two cars began to chase, then Hoshi overtook J-Hope.

The name Tae Hyung appears on the small screen in the middle, J-Hope immediately answers a call from Taehyun, "Oh, Tae Hyung-ah ..."

"Hyung, activate sharing mode on your GPS screen. I've already sent Hoshi's position to you. "

J-Hope immediately glanced at the GPS screen and found the file Tae Hyung meant. When he opened the file, immediately Hoshi's position and other info appeared on the screen. J-Hope activated voice mode because he was too busy following Hoshi who was still in front of him.

"The name is Takamura Hoshi, the Schwert group. His current position is five hundred meters ahead with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour. " The system pronounces it with certainty.

"Woohoo, Kim Tae Hyung, you really are a scientist." J-Hope pressed the gas pedal to catch up with Taehyun. In less than ten seconds, Hoshi's car was visible.

While Hoshi saw J-Hope's car approaching, he put more pressure on the accelerator to give their car more distance.

"I have to win and get out of that school. Must, for Fiona's sake. " Hoshi's determination.

J-Hope managed to stick to Hoshi and outperform him for a while, but Hoshi quickly surpassed J-Hope. Their race gets fiercer when the peak of Daeguk is seen.

"The round ahead is the determining factor, Hoshi-ya. If you can handle it, I swear I will let you feel the atmosphere of F-1. " J-Hope chirped.

While in Keimyung, only the leaders of Blade, Schwert and Xifos along with RapMonster were in the class after releasing J-Hope and Hoshi to race. RapMonster pay attention to his foster students one by one, he looks for the character of the attitude they show at this time.

"It's not easy being a leader, right? Setting steps not only for yourself but also for the people who follow you. One-wrong, instead of reaching the top, they fell into the abyss and fell. " Open RapMonster, which makes the three of them gasp even though they immediately hide it.

"If the members are delinquents, the chairman must be bastards." RapMonster stopped in front of S.Coups.

He continued his steps, "If the members are loan sharks, then the chairman is parasites." He stopped in front of Jun. Like S.Coups, Jun also glared at RapMonster.

"And if the members are insane, the chairman is a psychopath." Do Kyeom doesn't seem to care to see RapMonster stop in front of him.

"Do you think it is because of your power, wealth and intelligence that people are afraid? No, what they're really afraid of is your bastard, S.Coups, your family's wealth, Jun and your Psychopath-wanna-be, Do Kyeom. " RapMonster continued.

"They can just leave you without looking back but they have to stay because something could happen when they choose to leave your side. Until they end up trapped with you in this school, risking their future as a result of following their leader. "

"The grass will continue to grow as long as the roots are still planted in the ground. If you want the grass to disappear, then the roots must be pulled or burned altogether. Like Blade, Schwert and Xifos, you are the root that must be uprooted first to stop their bad behavior. And as leaders, can't you reduce the burden on the members by taking on some of their responsibilities? Or are you trash leaders who only think about yourself? "

RapMonster took out a piece of paper and gave them, "This is a part-time job site, you will work every day from two in the afternoon to six in the afternoon. Remember all my words earlier. "

RapMonster left the three students gathered around the paper RapMonster gifted.

"LANSIAN HOUSE ?!" exclaimed the three of them together.

"Ming Hao… sob." Mother The8 cried when she saw her son enter the Song leadership room.

"Why are they here? I struggled to avoid them but you even brought him here. " said The8 who ignored his mother's cry.

"The problem is faced not avoided, Ming Hao." Chief Song replied.

"My name is The8! And… what do you guys know about that? " cried The8 furiously, holding back his emotions that were ready to explode.

"Isn't a real man always responsible for all his actions?" interrupted Jin.

"BUT I DON'T DO IT !!" shouted The8, unable to hold back his emotions anymore. Her tears started to drip.

"I know." Jin replied, who put his hand on The8's shoulder while giving strength to his fingers.

"That's why your parents are here, to pick you up. Make you responsible for letting go of the burdens you carry yourself so that you don't have to run anymore and start looking for your own happiness, after successfully getting the person who did it in prison. Running away from the problem will only make the real perpetrator continue his life in peace or come back to make other people responsible for his mistakes. " Jin continued, who made The8 stagger to the floor as if his knees couldn't hold his weight anymore.

Seeing The8 sitting on the floor sobbing, the mother immediately came over and gave her son a tight hug. Wiped the back of the son who had been waiting for his return for a long time.

"It wasn't me, Ma ... hikss ... I didn't do it ... Ming Hao wouldn't dare to do such a cruel thing ... Why don't Mama, Papa and the others believe in Ming Hao?" sobs The8 who called himself Ming Hao in his mother's arms.

"Mama knows, Ming Hao can't possibly do it ... I'm sorry ... hikss ... I'm sorry, Ming Hao dear." Said the mother as she continued to rub the back of her son who was still crying.

"Let's go home, son. We teach the real culprit a lesson. " Said the father who grabbed The8's shoulder and slowly helped his family back up.

The8 hugged his father who was immediately hugged by his father, not missing his mother who was also pulled into the arms of The8's father. After releasing his embrace, the family stood in line. The8 wiped his tears. The father, who put his hands on The8's shoulder, tapped his son several times to give strength. While the mother, looked down by holding a handkerchief in front of her nose.

"Thank you, Chairman Song. I will bring my son back to finish everything. " Said the father wisely.

Chairman Song nodded then looked at The8, "Are you coming back?"

"Can I come back?" The8 asked doubtfully.

"This school is open to you. If you want to come back, I'll be waiting for you. So, quickly finish your business and meet here again, The8… Ah, it's actually more comfortable to call you Ming Hao, The8 is too difficult to pronounce. " Jin teased The8 and made the people who were there chuckle because of his joke.

"Ming Hao isn't bad either." Reply The8 who is now getting used to the name Ming Hao again.

"Thank you, Ssaem." Ming Hao continued as he stretched out his hand.

"Thank you for not filling, you should treat me when you come back." said Jin and returned Ming Hao's helping hand.

"Remember one thing, honesty not only improves oneself but can improve others as well. You might look like you're being betrayed but that's not betrayal, what you're doing is the right thing to teach your best friend to be honest and responsible. " Jin closed while escorting Ming Hao and his family out of the leadership room.

The sound of the engine still driving at high speed was mixed with the sound of the brakes and exhaust from two competing cars on the road to Mount Daeguk. The two of them have not given up despite the increasingly steep road and steep ravines that are always ready to welcome them if they are not careful.

"The final corner is decisive. If you can get through it smoothly, I will lose. " said J-Hope.

Hoshi, who knows the road to the top of Mount Daeguk, has the same thoughts as J-Hope, the bend ahead is the final corner that determines his fate. Not only because the curves are slightly sharp but also because the road is getting narrower while on the other side of the road there are residential areas not far from the road.

There are only two options if the two of them are not careful when they go through. First, they can slide into the abyss. Second, break through residential areas and cause damage.

While thinking about a strategy, suddenly a convoy of trucks passed them. The two people were shocked but neither of them tried to budge.

"You're going to hit the brake, aren't you?" J-Hope teased.

Hoshi considered his next move, but what he really thought was that he couldn't lose to J-Hope. Hoshi brought his car wider to the left, leaving a small distance between his car and the cliff not without reason. A truck suddenly took its course to overtake the other trucks.

With high speed, Hoshi kept running his car even though his left rear tire was no longer touching the asphalt. When he got past the truck, Hoshi stabilized the car again and drove as if nothing had happened.

J-Hope stopped the car for a moment, he watched how Hoshi passed a difficult obstacle. After seeing Hoshi's car stabilize, J-Hope continued his journey.

"Does he really want to win? You're crazy. " J-Hope laughed then resumed his journey, but did not drive his car at the high speed before. For the rest of his journey, he just laughed every time he remembered Hoshi driving smoothly and without hesitation.

The peak of Mount Daeguk was in sight, Hoshi kept going until he was really at the top. After turning off the engine, he got out and immediately laughed out loud. Hoshi laughed knowing that he was still alive and that he arrived first.

"Hahaha… Woaaahh… I won ?! Am I right? " Hoshi started to gasp for breath as his laughter continued.

J-Hope's car was seen, Hoshi waved his hands in opposite directions marking his presence at J-Hope.

J-Hope got out of the car, "You see? I won, right? " Hoshi went straight to J-Hope with a happy face.

"Yes, you won." J-Hope's face didn't look disappointed. He even looked happy about Hoshi's victory.

"You don't look disappointed… Ah never mind, the important thing is I won and I won from the F-1 racer. Ha ha ha." Hoshi was completely dissolving himself in excitement.

"But something is bothering me. Why are you even taking a left? If you take it straight to the right, wouldn't that be better? You're only going to crash into a few people's houses. " J-Hope sat on the hood of his car with his arms folded across his chest waiting for Hoshi to respond.

"If I end up going into the abyss, my parents will just lose me. Imagine if I hit several people's houses, I don't know how many families will lose their family members, not to mention that I have to take responsibility for my actions. And… after that I can continue my life? " Hoshi replied casually.

But Hoshi's answer was not accepted by J-Hope casually, he felt like he was slapped because of Hoshi's thinking who was more mature than his age.

"Since I won, I will ask for my prize." Said Hoshi.

"Oh, a present ... You really want to get out of Keimyung?" asked J-Hope after waking up from his reverie.

"Of course. I have to leave Keimyung University without refusal from any school. I really can't live without money from my father. " Hoshi replied.

J-Hope just stared at Hoshi.

Jun saw Jin escort Ming Hao and his parents through the main door of Keimyung University, he rushed to Jin when the car with Ming Hao and his parents was driving away.

"That's The8, right?" asked Jun.

Jin just stared at him without answering.

"Where are they going?" asked Jun again.

Again. Jin didn't answer, he stepped past Jun.

"HEY! I AM ASKING. " Shouted Jun who stopped Jin in his tracks.

The man who was questioned by Jun did not turn his head or even turn around, "To China." Jin answered.

"Not! Should not! I have to stop it. " Jun started to panic after hearing Jin's answer.

"Let him solve the problem, Jun." stop Jin by grabbing Jun's arm when the young man is about to run.

"Not. He won't be able to. That kid is too stupid. I have to stop it. Let go… let me take the car keys and chase him. " Jun tried to let go of Jin's grip on his arm, but Jin tightened the grip even more.

"He has to finish it so he can come back." said Jin.

"Ssaem, you don't understand. You know nothing about The8 and this matter. Please, let me chase him. " Jun was still trying to let go of Jin's hold.

"Or let me help him. Let go of this handle, Ssaem. He could have gone to jail. Please… If you won't let go of this hold, at least go with him, Ssaem. Sob. " Jun started to sob, he no longer tried to let go of Jin's hand grip on his arm. His head even started to bow to hide his tears.
