May 5, 2021. I wake up lazily to get ready and get to school. A few days ago I heard that a new student was arriving in this last year of high school. I don't remember the name they told me, but I know it came from Okayama, Japan. I have always wanted to go to Japan, I have heard that it has beautiful things.
I get ready quickly and leave home on my way to school. Today is a rainy day. I hate rainy days. Luckily, I made it to the bus stop on time. I got on the bus, more specifically in the back. I sat by the window, I put on my headphones with music, and stared out at the scenery.

I walked towards my classroom. And upon arrival I spotted my best friend "Yang Ha-neul". She is one of the few friends I have here. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Yang and I have been together since we went to kindergarten. So I regard her as a big sister. Because yes, she is older than me.
I went to my usual seat, which was located by the window and in front of Ha-Neul. The seats were changed recently, so I have no one next to me. A short time later the door opened, revealing the teacher, and next to him a boy who did not have a Korean appearance.
-Okay class, today, we have a new student, introduce yourself please - said the literature teacher.
-Hi, my name is Nishimura Riki, but you can call me Ni-ki - said the blonde.
-Okay Nishimura, sit next to... Park Heerim, Park, raise your hand.
Hearing my name, I automatically raised my arm, making the new guy look in my direction and we make eye contact. Slowly he approached without taking his eyes off me, he wasn't going to lie that it was a bit uncomfortable. When he was already seated, the teacher began his class.

I was writing notes on the agenda. But I stopped writing when I felt something hit my back. Turning around, I saw that Ha-neul had thrown me a note.
When I opened it, it said:
Yaaa, Heeriiim ~
Isn't the new guy really cute?
I hope I have your luck and sit next to him :(
And don't be so arrogant and antisocial. Talk to him :)
I want a brother-in-law.
With love Ha-neul <3
I put the paper down on the table and turned to glare at Ha-neul. She just smiled at me again
and turned her attention back to the class.
When I turned around again, I saw that where I had left the paper it was no longer there. I nervously looked at my side and yes. Riki had the note and was reading it carefully.
Obviously I took away the note.
-Why are you taking it from me? - I wonder.
-It's none of your business what this note has to say.
-Really? Well that I know, that "note" talks about me. So I have a right to know what it says.
-How far did you read?
-I'm not going to lie to you, I read it all. And who wouldn't want to have a brother-in-law like me?
I started to feel my face turn redder and redder. I just wanted this class to finish to go to the next one. And hopefully, I wouldn't be sitting next to him.
I turned back to Ha-neul. He was breaking out laughing. I don't know what is so funny.
I put those thoughts aside and tried to focus on class again.
