Eunhye POV:
My alarm went off as i sat up in bed abruptly
startled by the sudden noise. I looked over to
see what time it was and saw that it was already
7:30am "crap." I said to myself as i hurriedly ran
to the bathroom to brush my hair. I was
supposed to be up an hour ago but i must have
slept through my previous alarms. My hair did
not want to cooperate so i threw it up into a
pony tail and decided to leave it alone. I went
over to my dresser to find an outfit suitable for
my first day of class, and found a simple dress
that went just above my knees. *knock knock*
"Hello? come in?" I say aloud slightly confused
as to who would be knocking at my door this
early. A cheerful girl with blue highlights walked
through the door and gave me a little wave.
"Hi! i'm Leah i'm your roommate." she smiled.
I completely forgot about having a roommate
especially since she missed orientation and
I didn't see her last night. "Oh hey! sorry i wasn't
expecting anyone, let me clean up a little!" I say
a little rushed still worried about missing class.
I walk around tidying up her side of the room,
as she put her suitcase into her bed. "It's no
worries, sorry for just coming in now, i was out
late last night." she simply stated with a smile.
"Well i'm gonna be late for class, but please
make yourself at home!" I say walking out the
door and slowly shutting it behind me.
Overall she seems nice i guess, I'd like to get
to know her more though. "Euni! i hear a
voice shout from across the corridor. I look
over to see Jay, a little ways ahead of me.
"Oh hey Jay!" i exclaimed running to catch up
with him. "Where are you headed?" He asks
as we walk down the hallway. "I have physics this
morning," I sigh. I hate physics, it makes my
brain hurt. "Oh me too I love physics!" Jay
says in an extremely chipper voice. Well what
do you know, I guess it's not a death sentence for
everyone. "I'm not a fan, but at least i'll have a
friend!" I say smiling at him. As we walked into
class we each got handed a paper of our
upcoming schedules, and which classes we'll
have with who. "Bro i have to sit through a 2hour
lecture with sunghoon." Jay sighs, dramatically
laying his head on his desk. "At least you have
someone, it looks like the only class i have with
any of you is this one." I sigh, looking through
my list, until i stopped at the last one.

I blankly stared at the last name on the list. Niki?
ballet? He definitely didn't give off ballet vibes
his at all. "Do you have another class with one
of us?" Jay asked me seeing my expression.
"Oh, yeah, i guess my dance class is with Niki."
I say kind of flatly. I saw Jays expression change,
I knew he understood why I seemed kind of off to
the idea. "I'm sure he'll come around to you, he
can be kind of off putting at first," He says
looking down "I'm not sure why he's being so
cold lately, even to us." He sighs opening his
physics book. I suppose he could be having a
bad week? I don't know, hopefully class will
go okay tonight. Physics class was as boring
and confusing as I expected but Jay is brilliant,
and helped me through all of the confusing stuff.
I packed my backpack back up and said my
goodbyes to Jay, leaving the class room.
As I enter the next classroom i notice that we
have assigned seats alphabetically by name.
I took my place next to a girl with long black
hair pulled into a high pony tail.
"Hello!" I say sitting down next to her. "Hi! Im Yeon Nari!
are you new here as well?" she looks up smiling
at me. "I am! this is my first year here," I
explain as I unpack my backpack onto my desk.
"I've really loved it so far, the campus is
gorgeous!" I say as i looked back up at her.
"It really is!" She says smiling while jotting
something down in her notebook.
"Alright class, let's turn to section B on page
117. in your work books." Mrs Lay announced
as the class began. We read about six chapters
before the lunch bell rang, and got assigned
partnered homework.
"You guys are welcome to choose your own
partners since it's the first day!" Mrs Lay
said in a cheerful tone, as we were getting ready
to leave. Me and Nari gave each other a quick
glance as if to ask if we wanted to be each others
partners. She laughed and nodded, I sighed
with relief being thankful I didn't have to
awkwardly ask a stranger. "Do you want to sit
with each other at lunch?" Nari asked as we
walked out of class. "Sure! I didn't have anyone
to sit with before so that's a relief." I say
smiling. We walked to the lunch cafeteria
talking about class, future plans, life etc. She
seemed really nice, I think we will become good
friends. "I'm gonna go grab my lunch tray." Nari
says as she gets up from the table "Do you want
anything?" she asks before walking away.
"No i'm okay! I packed my lunch today" I say
pulling out my bento box. One thing about
my mom is she loved cooking, so she taught me
a lot about it. I knew how to make most foods
so I never really had to buy school lunches, it
definitely helped me save money. I opened my
bento box to find, fresh kimchi-jjigae I made
the night before, and some boiled eggs.
As i stuffed a large piece of kimchi in my mouth,
I heard someone shout my name. I looked
around the room to see who it was, before my
eyes rested on Jungwon walking towards me.
"Oh! Helloa Junfwon! Have a seaat! I say
with a mouth stuffed full of food. "Don't choke,"
He teases me as he sits down next to me with
his lunch tray. "Hey where did you get that??
Did i miss it up there?" He says pointing
to my lunch and then looking back at the
cafeteria. "Nono I made it!" I laugh while
looking at his shocked expression. "Can I
have a bite?" He asked giving me puppy eyes
and sticking out his bottom lip. I rolled my eyes
and picked up a spoon full of broth with a piece
of kimchi in it. "Here," I said handing him the
spoon but all he did was open his mouth and
looked at me. I blushed a little before feeding
him the stew as he happily ate it, clapping
his hands together. I happened to glance across
the room to see Niki glaring at me from another
table that has the rest of the boys in it. I
looked down before seeing Nari walking back
over to me. "Ah my friend is coming back over
so i better get back to sitting with her" I said
giving Jungwon a quick smile. He nodded and
got up to go sit back with the rest of the group.
"Who was that? Nari asked as she sat down with
her tray. I watched as Jungwon walked back
towards his table, "Oh he's just a friend," I say
before eating some more of my food.
She turns back and looked at him, "He looks
familiar I just don't know from where.."
She said as if she was in deep thought. "Hey!"
I turn around to see Leah standing being me.
"Oh hi Leah, this is my friend Nari!" I say
introducing the two. Leah gave Nari a quick
smile before saying she had to go. She had a
camera around her neck and was fidgeting on
her phone, seeming quite distracted.
"See you guys later!" She said while not
even looking up from her phone. Once she was
out of ear shot Nari gave me a weird look.
"What?" I say looking back at Leah and then
to her. "I don't know," Nari began "She seemed
...off." She said still watching her as she left
the cafeteria. "Maybe she's just shy?" I reasoned
as I finished up my lunch. Honestly who knows
she didn't seem quite responsible considering
she missed orientation and I didn't meet her
until this morning. "Well i better get going,
my ballet class starts at 3pm" I say getting up
and putting away my lunch box. "Okay! i'll see
you later! Oh, can i add you on Kakao?" she
asked handing me her phone before i left. I
put in my information and waved her goodbye
as I left the cafeteria. I decided to jog back to
my dorms to get a quick warm up in before ballet.
Once I got to my door I changed into my
light blue leotard and tights, while slipping into
my foot warmers.
I felt a little tired and didn't
bother putting my hair into a tight bun, so I
twisted it up into a simple claw clip, with a few
strands framing the front of my face.
Nikis POV:
I stretched a little while waiting inside the
studio for the teacher, I was the first one
in the building, and I was waiting to see who
my competition would be. I probably should
have read the schedule list I was given, but I
didn't have time between classes. I sigh and
lay on my back staring at the ceiling, I was so
tired from all of the dancing yesterday, my legs
we're killing me but what are you gonna do.
*Knock Knock Knock*
"Is anyone here yet?" I hear a familiar
voice behind the door. As the door cracked
open I saw Eunhye in her uniform walk into the
room. She looked so different from yesterday,
so soft and elegant, she had her hair done in a
simple style, yet it made her look so.. just
different. I quickly looked away after i realized
I was staring at her.
"Oh hi niki!" She said in her usual cheerful tone
"hey." I said not even looking in her direction
as I stood up off of the floor. I walked over to
the bar and started doing some basic warmups
before class began. A few more people started
shuffling in, only one other guy and the rest
being girls. I didn't pay attention to anyone, I was
too busy focusing on what I was doing to care
about anything else.
"Good afternoon students." an older woman
said as she walked into the class room. She must
be the instructor, I thought to myself as we all
made our way to center.
"Today we will be doing simple steps since today
is only day one of this course." she states
"Everyone to barre." She says in a harsher tone.
Not the most welcoming person every, but
whatever, not everyone can be as good of leader
as Jungwon. "You. what's your name." She says
looking directly at Eunhye. "My name is Kim
Eunhye mrs, i'm a first year here at Yonsei."
she said softly, I smiled at how polite she was too
her elder. "Yes I can tell you're a first year." She
stated flatly. I raised my eyebrow in confusion.
I wasn't the biggest fan of hers either but her
her dancing skills were definitely not beginners.
"I'm sorry ma'am?" Eunhye asked look as
confused as I was especially since we hadn't
even started yet. She walked over towards and
harshly grabbed her shoulder making her gasp.
"Fix your posture, turn out your left foot more,
and for the love of god fix your knee." she said
harshly before walking away. I don't know why
but for some reason I felt so angry. I could tell
she looked embarrassed as she watched everyone
else in the studio start to whisper about her.
"SILENCE." The teacher yelled as we all froze
too scared to move a muscle. We all just stared
straight ahead waiting for further instructions.
I could see a single tear streaming down
Eunhye's face. I felt a pit in my stomach, the
teacher was way out of line. We finished up the
class within two hours, It was quite intense.
As we started to pack up our things i could see
Eunhye was in a rush to leave.
"Hey Eunhye," I say walking over towards her
"I gotta go." She said quickly leaving before I
could even say anything which just pissed me off
even more. like hello i'm trying to actually be
nice. whatever, she's not my problem
why should i care anyways?
