"Okay. I'll out now," I reply in my stern voice.
In this house, it's just me and my Mom. Our house is made of an old Korean style. You can assume this is where I grow up initially from the start.
I pulled the sliding door open and closes it after I walk over the threshold.
Now on my way to school.
As usual, being alone is so perfect. Especially, going to school this early brings peace to my mind. If only it were like this the entire day, but Jinjikou High isn't a peaceful school than you think it is.
I wouldn't say school is the problem, in fact, the problem mostly is the students or the teachers.
School is such a problematic environment...
That reminds me, I wonder what will happen to the Helper's Club? From the way, the club will surely disband from the bad remarks of the students. Not that I really care.
In the first place... they shouldn't help people if they don't know how to help at all.
After walking for what seems like an hour, I enter my classroom and open the door gently.
Normally, no one would be here at this early hour, but... what I didn't expect was Mina to be the first one to arrive at the classroom before me.
What struck me in faze was Mina looking out the window to watch nature, and in that short moment, I find her extremely beautiful.
Her hair styled in a bun, her smooth skin, and her perfect features. She's also a straight-A student. No one can beat her with anything. Mina could be great at helping others, but I just don't see why she's capable of it. She doesn't talk too much to other people and she pretty much turns down invitations. I hardly find her talk to anyone.
The wind enters the window and breezes into her. Mina lets out a sigh of relief, then looks at me.
"Oh, I wish you would look at me with a better face, perhaps?" She glares at me with a slight flirt that seems unintentional, but she's radiating no signs of temptation.
The softness of her voice got me a little flustered. It has been a while since I've been with a girl alone in the same room.
"It's rare to see you this early before me, Myoui Mina. Just so you know, I am always the first one to come, so how does it feel to arrive first?" I put my bag on my table and takes a seat, little sideways to look at her. She clearly didn't bother playing along with the interview roleplay thing as she spoke.
"It's an honor. I didn't this classroom could be comfortable when it's quiet, and it's not that bad. I understand why you often come so early,"
I blink in confusion. She surprisingly can flow a conversation well. "So, why so early?"
"Nothing in particular," Mina tucks a strand of hair behind her ears so it wouldn't get in the way.
"Okay," Dropping the topic, I bring my phone out to mind my own business. Then, silence hit in the room, and it was probably the most nicest thing that happened. Yes, quietness.
Mina hasn't spoken another word since then. I secretly avert my eyes on her. She was seated at the edge of the room next to the window, and there was a glint of tranquility in her eyes. Somehow, she was sort of comfortable with the silence between us.
"Hey, did you recently feel like you've done something wrong?" Before I knew it, those words have already left my throat and I could no longer take them back.
Mina slightly wheeze at the sudden question, "What do you mean?"
"Well, I mean... your club is to help everyone's problem, right? I've heard from the other club that your help didn't actually help them,"
"So, you heard an irresponsible rumor as that huh? For someone who has a disgusting face, you sure have the nerve to talk to a princess,"
"I'm not exactly talking to you if that's what you want to know..." I grunt.
"Oh, if you're not talking to me then are you hitting up on me perhaps? Since we're alone, I'm not surprised that's what a vicious looking person would do to an innocent girl like me,"
This girl seriously called herself a princess and an innocent girl? Really... she may be a little bit unfair just because she's beautiful.
"As if I'd do that, not interested in hitting up on you," I sigh and wave my hand as a no.
"If that's so, don't just start talking to me out of nowhere. It scares me a little, and really it's disgusting. I do hope you should improve the look on your face someday, I'd appreciate it," Mina's smile and voice don't match her sentence. All I could do is click my tongue in silence.
Just say that I'm ugly, I don't mind Mina to be my first basher.
I look at my phone to look at the time and students should be here now, but no one's coming.
Man, being alone with a pretty girl is scary. If Mina starts to come to school this early, then I wouldn't want to be early now.
Someone take my place.
At that, Mina takes initiative and stood up in her chair. "Looks like I'm running out of time,"
Huh, whats with her all of a sudden?
"Chun Y/N," Mina appears next to me and I'm freaked out.
"Wh-what?" I tense in a flustered manner that I sat my seat properly.
"As a member of a Helper's Club, it's not my job to ignore a request. So, no matter what, you are in no position to refuse. The request was to ensure you'll get join a club," Mina's gaze was in fire but I wasn't personally fazed by it.
"I didn't request anything,"
"No, it's not you. It's Ms. Bae Irene's request. I can't believe I have to wake up early just so I can run up into you," Mina touches the trace of her hairline, as if feeling hot from the heat atmosphere.
Huh..? She was early just because of me? The hell is she up to...
"I won't ever change my mind,"
"Yes, you will. You're an interesting person," I have almost thought it was a trap to hold me off, and then forced me to say yes but what comes next stole my breath away.
Mina breathes, "Please go out with me,"
Huh...? Why am I blushing? No way, don't tell me this is it? You've gotta be kidding, me! You shouldn't fall for these kinds of deceptive words!
Looking at her face, there was no trace of lies and humor. Why does she look serious?
I gulp, "I..."
And so, the princess asked me to go out...
