Nari's POV

" You eat like a dog. " I glared at Taeyong as I licked my ice cream while he judged me.

I enjoy eating cone ice cream while Taeyong prefers eating ice cream from the cup. No judge, no hate just personal preference.

Suddenly, he shoved his phone in my face. " It's you. " He dead ass showed me a video of a dog drinking milk.

" Are you sure you're older than me? " I asked.

He scoffed, " No shit. " I rolled my eyes.

What a liar.

I eyed his ice cream and he glared at me, " I wanna try some green tea ice cream. " I pouted but he pulled his ice cream away from me.

" Just abit, a tiny bit. " I said as I continued eyeing his ice cream.

Eventually I managed to get a bite of his ice cream and in conclusion, my ice cream tastes so much better. " Want to get a bite of mine? " I politely offered him mine.

He took a huge bite of my ice cream and my eyes widened while I gasped. " Lee Taeyong! " I screamed as I smacked his arm multiple times.

Taeyong burst into laughter, " You offered me a bite and I took a bite. " I glared at him.

He looked over at me, " Aren't you starting school tomorrow? " I nod as I bite the cone along with some ice cream on it.

" Do you need me to bring you to school? " I shook my head.

I smiled, " It's okay! I can go with Saena. "

" Okay, please tell dad that. " He said and I couldn't believe my ears. Okay, I mean when is Taeyong nice to me other than when I have a favour to return?

When we got home, I ran into my room and picked out several outfits. It's my first time wearing something other than uniform to school, and I know that some people dress really well.

I thought hard before messaging Taeyong, asking him to come into my room. After a few minutes, he barged in. " What do you want? "

" Which outfit? " I asked.

He scoffed, " None of it looks g- " I glared at him.

Taeyong let out a sigh, " Dude, no one actually care about how you look or what you wear. "

" But I want to look and feel good especially on my first day. I know I'd probably give up dressing up after the first day. " I said.

He chuckled lightly, " Let me do the job. " I trust him in this because his fashion sense is pretty good. He would always dress up when he go out with his friends but look homeless when he go to school.

Taeyong took out a few pieces, " There you go. " My eyes widened, why did he do better than I've expected?

I looked over at him with an impressed look, " Not bad, Lee Taeyong. " He smiled proudly.

" Okay you can leave now. " I pushed him out of the room and closed the door behind him.

After he left, I walked over to my bed and fell asleep.

The next day, I woke up and I washed up before changing into my fresh set of outfit. " My daughter is in university now. " My dad became all teary.

" It's not like Lee Nari is moving out. " Taeyong said as he walked out of his room, eyeing us.

I stuck out my tongue, " You're just jealous! " He rolled his eyes as he walked off.

" Do you need Taeyong to bring you to school? " I shook my head with a reassuring smile. If you don't already know, my mom is only proud of my brother so I guess my dad felt bad towards me that's why he's so nice to me.

My mom brought out our breakfast, placing it on the table. I walked over and sat beside Taeyong, " Are you meeting Saena? " My mom asked and I nodded.

After a few spoonfuls of rice, I shoved the last spoonful into my mouth as I stood up. " I'm done! " I rushed over to the sitting area to wear my socks and shoes before bidding my family goodbye.

I rushed over to the bus stop where I saw Saena standing there. " What's up? " She asked when she saw me.

" The sky. " I started laughing so hard at my own jokes that I'm literally gasping for air.

She looked at me, confused. " Do you need me to call the ambulance? " I laughed even harder, my abs are thanking me but my lungs are dying.

The bus came and I got up, still trying to hold in my laughter. " Your outfit looks good today. " Saena said and I looked down at my outfit.

" Taeyong planned it for me. " I said.

She raised her brows, " Your brother seemed nice- " I cut her off with a shake of my head.

" He is only nice when he need or want something from me. " I said and she chuckled slightly. Saena doesn't have a brother so she doesn't know how it feels like to stay with someone with so much motives.

When we arrived at the stop right in front of the school, we got off and walked into the school. " Hey! Wait up! " We heard a voice from behind.

The both of us turned around and instantly my face heat up. " Hey, what courses did you guys chose? " Mark caught up with us.

" We chose Business and management. " Saena said and he nodded with a smile.

" What about you? " I asked.

Mark smiled slightly, " Modern Languages. " I gasped. I heard that course is really tough to study because you'd have to study various languages.

" Oh, by the way we have a basketball game today and I hope you guys have the time to come! " He said with an awkward grin as he touched his nape.

I nod, " We will definitely come! Right? " I nudged Saena and she nodded as she eyed me.

" Do you need me to bring you guys around? " Saena shook her head.

She smiled slightly, " It's fine, we know how to get around. " He nodded and he bid us goodbye before leaving.

We were walking over to our classroom when I felt a tap on my shoulder. " Not-so-feminine Nari? " The moment I heard that voice, I know who it is.

I turned around, glaring at him. " What do you want, Yukhei? " He rolled his eyes.

" Just call me Lucas, I think it would sound a lot better than you calling me Yukhei. " He said and I scoffed.

" You're a student here? " He raised his brows.

I shook my head, " I'm a teacher here. " I said sarcastically and he nodded, eyeing me up and down.

I furrowed my brows, " You do look 10 years older than me. " He said and I was about to smack his arm when I realised what happened to his arm.

Gradually, I placed my arm down and I cleared my throat as I looked at him. " How's your arm? " He looked down at his arm.

" It's recovering. " He said and I nodded.

" Anyways, our school is known to have some creepy seniors so don't even go with them if they ask you guys to attend their party or club. " Lucas said before he walked off.

I turned to look at him as he walked off into the crowd. " How do you know him? " Saena asked as she took out a bread from her bag.

" Long story short, I broke his arm. "
