*You’re sitting on the couch, clutching your test paper like it’s a cursed scroll. A big red "F" stares back at you. You already know what’s coming. Sunoo is the first to notice.

Sunoo: "WHAT IS THIS?! An F?! No. Nope. This didn’t happen. I'm erasing it with my positive energy."

He hugs you dramatically and drags a blanket over your head.

jake:"Don't worry, baby sibling, school is fake anyway. order chicken and forget this ever happened." Heeseung gently pats your head, giving you a dad-like sigh.

Heeseung: "Grades don’t define you. But... maybe let me help you next time, okay?"

Sunghoon sits silently beside you and slides a boba toward your hand.

Sunghoon: "...Still proud of you."

Jungwon: "I’ll fix you a new study schedule. But don’t stress. We’ve got this, okay?"

You’re still on the couch, surrounded by comforting chaos. That’s when Jay walks in with crossed arms, holding a glass of water like it’s a truth serum.

Jay: “Okay. What’s going on here? Why do you all look guilty… and why is Sunoo holding a pillow like it’s cursed?”

Sunoo (sweating): “Emergency cuddles! Just emotional damage—not academic. Everything’s fine!!”

Jay: “…Uh-huh. Move.”

He walks over, takes the pillow, and sees the test. Silence. He looks at you—dead in the eyes.

Jay (calm but intense): “You failed.”

You (softly): “…Yes.”

Jay: “I’m not gonna yell. I don’t need to. You already know what this means.”

You: "More studying?"

Jay: “Drink this water. And sit up straight. You’re not a failure. You're just… lost for a sec. And I don’t let my little sibling stay lost.”

He gives your hair a light flick, then says:

Jay: “…Also, if anyone at school makes fun of you, give me names. I’m dramatic now.” Ni-ki (arms crossed): “You failed, didn’t you?”

You (mumbling): "...Maybe." ni-ki: Give. Me. The. Paper. Sunoo: (jumping in front of you): No! They’re fragile right now! ni-ki:”You’re grounded. No phone. No Wi-Fi. No late-night snacks!”
