Rhie walked over to the last bench in the row and slumped back on it, startling the boy right next to her. 
                          
His nose was ducked in his book unless she took her seat beside him with a loud thud. 
                          
"Oh hey. Are you new here?" She began. 
                          
"You are the new one here." A voice interrupted. 
                          
She snorted looking ahead at the owner of the voice. There sat, yoongi, half of his body turned back with one of his elbow resting on the fence of his chair. 
                          
"I'm not new. I just skip school." She leant back on her chair with the bag that served as a pillow now, adjusting her hat down on her face. Her face was completely covered now. 
                          
"Here she goes." Yoongi mumbled and turned around.

"Ah wake up." He whisper-shouted, the guy sitting right next to Rhie. He nudged her for umpteenth time but she won't budge a bit. 
                          
"Ms. Kim." The professor called again. 
                          
He now pinched her arm. She woke up with a jot and looked around desperately. He signalled her to look ahead. There was Mr. Lee squinting his eyes at the caught girl.
                          
"You were again sleeping. Weren't you?" The teacher scolded her. 
                          
"Sorry Sir, I couldn't sleep entire night." Rhie lied.
                          
"And why so?" He crossed his arms over his chest. 
                          
"I, umm, my relative was hospitalised yesterday so I had to take care of her." She lied again. Mr. Lee seemed to buy it.
                          
"Now pay attention to the class." She nodded and sat down on her chair. 
                          
"For a second I didn't think he'll believe me." She murmured pressing her hand against her chest and sighed deeply. The boy next to her spared the girl a glance and went back to fixing his vision at the board. 
                          
"Is there anyone who can complete this equation?" Her head shot up at Mr. Lee voice who was looking for his prey. 
                          
'Not me, not me, not me' She prayed to god.
                          
"Jimin, come here and solve this." Mr. Lee was generous to spare her. It wasn't like she could answer it anyway. It was probably her third time she was present in class in this semester. If it wasn't for her father, she wouldn't be here today too. 
                          
She looked around, searching for the guy going by name Jimin. She didn't know him. She barely went college but knew most of the students. All credits to Yoongi and Hoseok, her best friends. Her quest ended, noticing the guy beside her rising up. 
                          
He went and completed the equations with the speed of lighting. Mr. Lee, for sure, was impressed by the boy as he himself applauded and clapped for him. 
                          
"Wow." She couldn't help but be amazed. 
                          
"No need to be surprised. He's ace." Yoongi mumbled, this time, without turning his head back. Maybe he didn't feel the need to do so. 
                          
"Oh I see."
