Seoyul's POV

" Congratulations. Your exams are over. " We cheered as everyone started walking around as if we're done with all the exams in our lives.

I grinned, " Did you managed to solve the last question? I almost tore out my hair because it's so hard. " I chuckled when Haru said that.

" Seungmin taught me that question the day before so I still remember how to do it. " I said.

Haru eyed Seungmin, " I swear you didn't teach me. Is this bias? Do you like Seoyul? " I smacked her on the arm.

" I did teach you! " Seungmin said while smiling.

Haru insisted that he didn't.

Just then, Mr Lim came in empty handed with a smile on his face. " I know all your exams are over and you guys are very excited but let's get back to school, shall we? " All of us groaned.

" We have a new student joining us today. " Mr Lim said as he eyed us, telling us with his gaze that we better treat the new student right or else he's going to get fired. 

He looked towards the door, " You can come in and introduce yourself the your classmates. " He smiled

Before the guy came in, my phone vibrated and I quickly placed it under the table. It's a message from Felix.

Felix: Good to see you again.

While I was looking at his message, girls were squealing in my class. I furrowed my brows as I ignored his message before looking up.

I looked up and my eyes widened. Our eyes met and he smiled even wider, or at least that's what I think I saw.

I rubbed my eyes several times to make sure I'm not hallucinating because I heard when you're overly stressed out, you may hallucinate.

" My name is Felix. " He said with a smile.

My jaw dropped, " I know he's handsome but calm your hormones down! " Haru said as she nudged me.

I cleared my throat, " I'm not intrigued by his looks but I'm- " I looked over at Felix who's, I don't even know what the hell is he doing.

I looked back at Haru, " That's the hospital boy! " I whispered and her eyes widened as she gasped loudly, causing everyone to turn towards us.

" Yes, Haru? Do you have anything exciting to share with us? " Mr Lim asked and she shook her head.

She turned to face me, " This is fate. " She teased me and I rolled my eyes before placing my head on my desk, trying to get back some sanity.

Just then, I heard a knock on my desk. " Shut up Haru. " I said.

I felt a kick from behind, " It's Mr Lim! " Seungmin whispered from the back and my head shot up. I turned to face him with a smile.

" Why are you resting and not listening to Felix while he introduce himself? " I gulped.

I was about to explain myself to him when Felix spoke, " Because she already knows me. In fact, she knows me better than I know myself. " I stared at Felix blankly but he shot me a grin instead.

People in the class started whispering among themselves as I looked over at Haru helplessly.

Mr Lim clapped a few times to quiet our class down as he walked to the front. " Even if she knows you, she should respect you. " He eyed me and I nod.

Felix continued with his introduction and I stared at him as he spoke. " I lived in Australia but when I was 13, I came back to Seoul.  "

" That's so cool! I want to be like you too! " Someone said and he shook his head.

Felix chuckled.

" I'd rather not be like me. "

Felix's POV

" Any question for Felix? " Mr Lim asked the class and one of the guy raised his hand.

" How do you know Seoyul? " The class started chattering about it again. My eyes wandered over to Seoyul who's looking away embarrassedly.

I smiled, " I was hurt when she found me. I guess you can say, she saved my life. " The class started teasing us.

" Anymore? " The class shook their heads.

Mr Lim looked around the class, " Can I sit there? The empty seat near Seoyul. " The class began wild. Mr Lim agreed and I walked over to that seat.

As I was walking over, I stopped right beside Seoyul's desk. " Why did you ignore my message? " I asked her in a soft voice but I guess, it wasn't as soft as I thought.

People began chattering about themselves, discussing about our relationship. I sighed before walking to my seat after she ignored me.

My seat is behind the Haru girl.

I tapped her chair and she turned around. " I see that you talk a lot to Seoyul. Are the both of you close? " She stared at me.

" Are you asking me this to make me help you or just a general question? " She eyed me.

I chuckled, " General. "

" Yeah, we're pretty close. We're best friends. " I nod as I looked over at Seoyul.

Haru tapped my desk, " What did you do to her that made her so upset? " She furrowed her brows.

I pursed my lips, " I'm regretting it now too. "

She thought for a bit before gasping. " Did you come to our school because you know that Seoyul is from this school? " I nodded.

She covered her face with both of her hands as her cheeks grew redder at a rapid rate. " Are you okay? Are you experiencing rash? " I asked.

" No but I'm experiencing happiness! " She squealed.

Seoyul stood up, " Oh Haru, I want to get a drink. " She nodded as she followed behind Seoyul and they went out together.

I looked down at the newly bought textbooks. I've always been intrigued by the new, unfolded textbooks that are so sleek looking.

I looked to the side and I realised the guy sitting next to me kept glancing over at me. I smirked as I looked at him, " Enjoying the view? " He looked up at me and I winked.

He seemed traumatised more than anything. My smile faded as I sighed, " It was a joke. I'm straight. " I said.

He opened his mouth and I was honestly expecting more of maybe, an introduction or something along that line?

Instead, he asked, " Do you like Seoyul? "

I raised my brows, " Wow. What a strong question to start our friendship. " I chuckled slightly as I sat up straight.

" Let me guess, you like her? " He shook his head.

I nod, " If you say so but you're right, " I smiled as I looked up at him, who's currently staring at me.

" I do like Seoyul. "
