The next day came and everyone was doing their activities. Yeji walked through the hallway with Sejeong, The Fuzz captain. They were discussing about the upcoming championships this year since Yeji is one of the mainstays, one of the best players in the team. The biggest one is the national championship among universities in South Korea. It's the most prestigious baseball championship that offers a big prize and other advantages in the future if they win it. They then separated after Sejeong arrived at her class first.

"Don't forget to practice your throw, Wolfie," Sejeong said as she was getting in her classroom. "Aye, aye, captain! See you tomorrow." Yeji continued to walk to her class 2 floors above. She took the stairs half-running not to get in late.

She was too busy climbing up the stairs and when she finally reached the top, she bumped her head quite hard into a girl's pile of books who also ran from another direction, which automatically fell onto Yeji's head and hit her hard as they were heavy books. "Ahh, shiiii...", Shoot, it hurts, Yeji thought while holding the top of her head.

"O-omo, omo.. I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Are you hurt? So sorry I didn't see you going up. Are you okay?", someone who Yeji bumped into greeted her with guilt and tried to get her up by wrapping up Yeji's shoulder. She flinched a little bit since since kinda shocked with any skin ship with strangers. From the sound of it, could it be the red haired new girl? Her voice was very gentle, unlike girls like Yuna or Ryujin.

Yeji sat on the stairs while enduring the pain with eyes closed. She held onto the railing while her other hand was still rubbing her own head. After she stood up, Yeji then extended her arm toward the other person hinting that she was fine. "Watch where you're going, please," Yeji let out a heavy sigh trying to endure the pain and finally opened her eyes and looked at the person from toe to head. Right, it must be her. Look at that white shoes. Hwang Yeji, act cool. "Yeah, don't worry. I have to go to class now," Yeji said while they eventually exchanged glances. Yes, she is that girl. Oh my God I hope she doesn't hear my heartbeat go crazy right now. Yeji, use this opportunity. Yeji thought while still looking at her eyes.

(I think I'll faint if I look into Chaeryeong's eyes😭)

"Oh, you're Yeji, right? I owe you my notebook from your email last night. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-," Chaeryeong bowed while apologizing but Yeji suddenly interrupted her.

"Don't worry. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine," she said and initiated to pick up those books fallen on the floor. The red haired girl then joined Yeji picking up the rest of the books. Yeji shared a same amount of books for them to carry together. "Thank you. Do we go to the same class?" Chaeryeong asked as they were walking with the books. "Economy 1? If yes, then.. yes.", Yeji answered her looking at the books cover that's titled Economy 1. They walked towards the class and after dropping off the books, Yeji sat on the back row as always with Ryujin and Yuna. They were already there before Yeji got to her seat and they waited for her to say something, but she didn't say anything about walking with that girl. They knew Yeji was excited as she walked bouncily but didn't bother to interrogate her right there. They were just happy to see their friend got a little smile on her face after yesterday.

After class, Ryujin spoke up breaking the awkward tension among them. "Yejiya, I'm not gonna call you baboya anymore. Sorry for being carried away like that. I didn't mean it. I only wanted the best for you. I didn't know it could hurt you." Yuna then continued Ryujin, "Yeah. We're sorry. It was so weird not talking to you and your orange hair." Ryujin hit Yuna's arm and whispered what the hell Yuna. Yeji looked her crackhead friends and giggled. They never changed since the first time - still so silly and funny. "Yeah, just let me stay over at your place tonight and I'll forgive you two".

"You're sleeping over?! Yayyyy let's go! Our parents must be happy to see you!"
