I am Kang Seonyeon, 17 years old girl who study at Mesa High School, one of the best school and known for its active participation in any school competition. It's a good school, but trust me it sucks since a year ago. The only reason why I entered this school is because of them, my bestfriends. Junhee is really obsess with this thing call as music, so does Seolmin. But, what makes me annoyed is she didn't enter the music course.
Music is not really my thing. I don't know what I like to be honest. I am not like Junhee who is a vice president, or Seolmin a head librarian. I am not like Eunsun unnie who comes from rich family, or like Mingzhou who is known as the beauty here. I am nothing compared to National Athlete-to-be Yejoo or the best dancer Mijin unnie or Hyuwi, bully with brain or Arim unnie, who known as a perfect girlfriend. I am just a nobody. Almost 90% people in this school don't know me. They always pictured me as a cold and quiet girl. But, I am a total opposite in front of my two bestfriends. Because I stick with them for years and they are the only persons I trust.
(Few months ago, during freshmen enrollments)
I am alone during recess because Junhee has to get her song done and Seolmin has a meeting with other librarians. I go to school cafe to buy drink. I rarely eat during recess.
I look at a tall refrigerator that contains a lot of drinks. My fave is right on the top of the refrigerator. Thanks to my short height, I have to tiptoe to reach it. Gosh, why did they put it there? Not all of this school students are tall you know.
Suddenly a hand appears from behind but I do not turn back because I know it's a boy by his uniform sleeve. I didn't want to make a scene by kissing him or bump my own head on his chest.
"Here."
He goes to my right and hands me a can of lime juice.
"I want ice lemon tea, not lime juice." I don't know why but I still take it.
"I know but you see, I'm not that tall. I can't reach it too." He grins. He is kinda cute. No. Why did I say that? Cute-- what?
I ended up going to my classroom with that lime juice in my right hand. I go to my seat and sit down. I stare at the can. Why did he help me when he is not tall enough? My life is not a drama. I don't need a main boy character.
I feel like I am being followed since this morning. What should I do? Turning back? What if that person is a killer? I mean, a serial killer!!! Gosh, I'm overreacting. That is maybe just another student. Why is the class hallway is so quiet today...?
I hear the footsteps behind me. It's so irritating that I ended up turning back.
It was that lime juice boy...
"Are you following me?"
"...Ye... I mean NO. Why should I do that?" He answers with his shaking eyeballs. I stare at him.
"Ok, fine. Yes, I just want to give you this," He hands me the application form for Music Course.
"Why me?"
"I can't find the president nor the vice president. They told me that you are the vice president's close friend so yeah," he explains.
I nod and want to walk away but he stops me. "What do you want again?"
"Can I stick with with you?"
What........ Usually, people would ask about wanting to be friend but he.. lol, NO. I never let anyone stick with me except for my bestfr---
"Okay."
What........ Why did I said that?
"No, I mean--"
"Thank you, noona!" With that, he runs away and left me alone at that quiet hallway.
(Flashback Ends)
"Seriously, where is this kid?" I feel so irritated. I have been waiting him for 15 minutes in this loud and packed with people SCHOOL CAFE.
"Waiting for Jaemin?" Seolmin sits in front of me, with choco bun and a cup of choco latte. I shake my head, "No. Why would I?"
"But, I heard you mumbled his name just now," Seolmin said. "I did not do that." Seolmin chuckles after seeing my panicked face. I look at my watch for n th times and gets up from my seat. "Where are you going?" Seolmin asks.
"Classroom."
I do not lie for that. I am really going to a classroom. But, not mine. I'm heading to Jaemin's classroom. My fist is ready to knock his head for making me wait...
I stop at my track right in front of their opened door classroom. There is Jaemin, with a girl. They are studying together. There are few students too. I stand like that for few minutes before Yongkwon saw me.
"Seonyeon sunbae,"
Jaemin looks at me. So, does the girl. I feel like an idiot for standing there watching my juniors studying so I want to go away.
"Sunbae,"
San stops me. I look at him. "Jaemin said he is sorry for making you wait. You know that we have a math pop quiz after recess ends."
Why don't he apologize by himself?
Why should he asked San to do it?
"No, it's okay. Good luck for your quiz," I give him a smile and head to my class.
"Next. Seonyeon sunbae and Hongin." Yonghyun calls as he runs his eyes on the paper. Hongin stands up and is all ready to do his monthly evaluation. But, not for Seonyeon who is currently spacing out. Mijin nudges her waist. But still no respond.
"Seonyeon sunbae," Yonghyun pats Seonyeon's shoulder. Seonyeon looks up to see Yonghyun. "Your turn."
"Okay," Seonyeon stands up and goes to the front. The music starts and they both start dancing. But, Seonyeon lose her focus. Her mind starts recalling memories from yesterday.
(Yesterday, in dance practice room)
"I didn't see Jaemin lately. Where is he?" Youngdoo asks.
"You know that he is good in Literature right? So, there is this new student from Japan. He decides to teach her," answers Woojin. Seonyeon has her 100% attention with the conversation now. But for sure, she will not butting in.
"Of course he will teach her. She is his first love after all," said Changmin.
"I heard my name~" Jaemin walks in and sits with them. "What are you talking about?" he asks.
Changmin opens his mouth to answer but Jinsub starts a new topic.
"What do you think about dating a noona?" His words attract all of them. Even Junhee and Sungho who are discussing about rap lyrics.
"Noona? Why?"
"My mom sets me to a blind date with a girl who is 3 years older than me, she is in college now."
"Blind date still exist? Wow, that's hilarious!" Hyuwi giggles which annoyes Jinsub.
"There are 3 reasons why our parents send us to a blind date. One, because we are too busy with our works. Two, because we are ugly. And three... Because we are not straight," Hyunuk smirks.
"And there are three reasons why I don't want to go. First, I am not busy at all. I don't even do my homeworks. Two, I am not ugly. Not even close. And three... I am not homo!!!" Hyunuk and the others laugh.
"I don't think noona is a bad idea. Besides, they are experienced," Haejoon shows the lenny face. The girls go 'euwww'. "What do you think, Jaemin?" Isaac asks.
"I don't really like older girls."
(Flashback ends)
"Ouch!" Seonyeon falls to the floor. Hongin stops dancing and they all go to Seonyeon. "Are you okay?" Mijin looks at Seonyeon's legs.
Jaemin touches Seonyeon injured leg. "I think you sprained your ankle. Let's go, I'll bring you to infirmary." Seonyeon slightly flustered, "I don't think I can walk."
"Who told you to walk?" With that, Jaemin carries Seonyeon with bridal style.
"Wait--no, I think I can walk now-- Put me dow--"
(School's Infirmary)
"Her ankle was twisted. It will takes 2 weeks to recover. But, it's not that serious. Just rest well," the doctor, Miss Jung said. Seonyeon just nods and stares at her sprained ankle.
"You are her brother right? Make sure to tell your parents and do not let her do heavy works," Miss Jung continues. Seonyeon's eyes widened.
EXCUSE ME!!!!!
"I am not his brother but I'll do what you say," Jaemin smiles. Miss Jung slightly flustered, "You are not? I'm so sorry." Miss Jung apologize before she goes out from the room, leaving the two alone.
Jaemin sits beside the bed which placed Seonyeon. Seonyeon turns her back.
"Do you want to take a nap?"
"So, what do you think I'm doing now?"
"Do you need me here?"
Yes. Please...
"NO. Just GO."
Seonyeon forcefully closes her eyes and the silence goes on. Few minutes past and Seonyeon can hear the door being opened then closed, knowing Jaemin has left her alone in there.
Seonyeon can't handle being alone for hours in that room alone so she goes to their practice room. She is walking unstably because she can't find the helpful stick to help her walking. She stops in front of the closed door.
"Ok guys! Now, we will start the most beautiful girl poll!" Louoon excitedly said. The boys cheer.
Jaehyun helps by reading the paper pieces that the guys used to write their most beautiful girl. Meanwhile, Jaemin writes on the whiteboard and Louoon as the MC.
"First, Lee Arim! Haejoon, this is you right?"
"I wrote other person though. It's you right, this jerk!" Haejoon hits Jinsub's head.
"You are the real jerk! How can you vote for other girl instead of your girlfriend?" Inho hits Haejoon's head.
"Next, oh~ Kim Seolmin," Everyone looks at the certain person. Seonghwan drinks his banana milk innocently. "W..What?"
"Lee Yejoo?"
"She is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," Sunghyun responds.
"Xu Mingzhou. Because her body is pretty. Who did this?"
"Xu Mingzhou again!"
"Lee Arim."
"Kang Seonyeon."
Seonyeon's heart beats so fast.
"Who write this?"
"Me."
"Heol~ I thought it was Jaemin. But, Yongkwon?"
"She is pretty!" Yongkwon exclaims.
"So, Jaemin. Who did you vote for?"
"Mina."
