We spent our break with Jimin. He was a really cheerful guy. He laughs a lot and when he does his eyes turn to two crescents making it impossible for him to see. He's from South Korea and is here to get his post degree in business management.

I wonder how lucky Han is. I mean, she befriends with the best people, for example like me, and is blessed even through online. One time I had made an online friend like this and that guy turned out to be a fricking stalker and psychopath. It took every ounce in me to cut off whatever contact I had with him. I even had to delete all social media accounts and even change my sim, and so many more. But Jimin seems to be a really nice guy. I think I will get along with him really well.

Hannah is already over the moon seeing that her new friend is the best and hottest man than she thought he would be. We were on our way to our next class. Jimin and us planned to meet up after the orientation class which will be over by 4 in the evening.

This time all the seats were filled and we were forced to sit in the front bench.

"Ughh, this day couldn't get any worse." I groaned.

"Wasn't this day really good?" Han gave me a skeptical look.

"You know how I feel about the front seat." Han nodded agreeing with me.

Whenever we both sat on the front seats it never went well. Even from our school days that seat was an omen for us. Either one of us gets hurt, scolded or get into a fight or something that is totally unnatural in a bad way.

The class went silent the minute the door opened to reveal a guy thinking he was our professor and my jaws went wide open. To my surprise I saw the guy I talked to earlier. He was standing at the doorstep with a pleasant smile. Seems like he is going to a share class with us.

I nudged Han, "This is the guy I told you about in the morning."

"He's so hot hun." Han cooed giggling.

He walked right to the center of the class and took a quick scan around it. He didn't see me, I guess it's going to be hard for him to find an empty seat now that the class is nearly full.

He cleared his throat, "Goodmorning all, I'm Kim Seokjin. I will be dealing with your Global Corporate Finance."

My heart stopped the moment I heard him introduce himself. My eyes were wide and my mouth agape. I couldn't believe my ears, he is my PROFESSOR.

"Please tell me he is joking." I pinched myself.

"Sorry hun, seems like you were crushing on the wrong guy." Han was equally dumb struck but was trying not to laugh right at my face.

"For your information, I wasn't crushing. I thought I might have made a new friend." I replied disappointment lacing in my voice.

"I can't blame you, he does look too young to be a teacher."

At that instant our eyes met. I quickly broke our eye contact and started admiring the pen that looks nothing special at all. Like I said I am weird with people and worst at eye contact. He was restraining himself from smiling when he saw my flushed state.

I tried to compose myself from the embarassment and looked back. Thankfully he was looking somewhere else. With a light introduction about the subject and our course design he began the class. Since it was the first day he didn't go really hard with the topics. He kept it simple and less boring, thank God.

Just when the time ended, I quickly shut my books and sprinted out of the class dragging Han along with me. I didn't even spare a glance at my professor's direction. The whole class was a nightmare. I know I shouldn't be bothered by such a silly thing. But this was my first attempt to socialize confidently which slapped me right across my face.

"What was that? You should've seen your face." Han started cracking up clutching her stomach from laughing so hard.

"Don't you dare start with it." I know my face was all red from the embarassment.

"What did you say when we reached here? I'm gonna wrap everyone around my little finger with my new found speaking skills." She spoke in between her laughs quoting the words that I proudly told her before stepping foot on this place.

"Everybody makes some mistakes. This is my first time, right? I'm gonna blast it off next time." I justified trying not to laugh at my stupidity and previous heroic dialogue I made.

"I really hope so." She cackled up again. I glared at her.

"Ok ok I won't laugh anymore. But still you made my day, hun. Love ya." Han said trying to compose herself while patting her red cheeks from laughing too much.
