~3~ New classmate

𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆: 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝑪𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆

"O-oh...I'm in that class..." I said, while leading the way. As I opened the door and entered the classroom, I saw the teacher already in the classroom teaching. I looked up and saw many shocked faces but one angry face...looks like Jihoon is mad that I entered the class with him...Well, I couldn't do anything about it. He is my roommate after all...I went to my seat while Renjun went to the front to introduce himself.

"Hi everyone. My name is Huang Renjun. I was born in Jilin City, China. I transferred to Korea because of my father's business." he ended his introduction, leading a tear to leave his eye.

But Jilin City, China? That's where I grew up. I lived there almost half of my life. I looked at my wrist and noticed my bracelet. I forgot that I was wearing it. Then, I noticed the bracelet that Renjun was wearing. Maybe it's the key to my lock...No Kim Jiwon, it couldn't be. It's just your imagination. I took out my notes when.. "Okay Mr Jung, do you mind sitting somewhere else? Mr Huang will be sitting at your seat." said Mrs Jung. Of course, Jihoon would be angry. But he had no choice since his mother was a very good friend of Mrs Jung.

He packed his stuff and went to an empty seat beside Haeun. The most popular girl in the school. I just hate her. Whenever I'm around, she's always flirting with Jihoon. And I mean ALWAYS. It really makes my blood boil. But the thing is, Jihoon doesn't do anything about it. It's almost like he's showing me that he doesn't like me. As I was in my thoughts, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked beside me and it was Renjun. He gave me a small wave with a smile. I smiled back and took out my notes.

I started copying what was on the board onto my notes as mid-finals are coming up. Then the teacher told us to take out our homework. We went through the answers then class ended. As I exited the class, Jihoon came by. "Can you explain why that kid was with you?" he said, in an angry  tone. I tried to explain but he just wouldn't listen. "No! Stop! I don't want to hear all these excuses! Haeun was right.... You are cheating on me..." he said, looking straight into my eyes with disgust. "And you really believe her? Wow...I thought you knew better. You know that I would NEVER cheat on you. Maybe YOU'RE the one that's cheating on ME." I said in anger.

"H-how did you...." he said, sounding shocked. "So it's true... you ARE cheating on me...I can't believe you...after all these 9 months we've been through? Then I guess we're done." I said, feeling hatred climbing up in my body, while tears slowly formed in my eyes. I started walking away, heading to my locker. As I walked away, I heard someone saying, "You did perfect darling...". I turned around and saw Haeun and Jihoon making out. I couldn't believe my eyes...what I saw..it didn't feel real...it's like I'm living in a life full of lies.

Tears started falling down my cheeks as I ran to the toilet. I looked in the mirror and my eyes were puffy. I went out of the building and decided to head back to the dorm. Before I could take out my keys to unlock the door, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Renjun. As soon as I turned to face him, he suddenly gave me a hug. "Don't care about that jerk anymore, you have me." I felt comforted. Like someone is there for me. "Thank you but...I think you should head back to class." I said, as my eyes were still puffy.

He shook his head, "No, if you're going to class, then I am. I'll always be by your side. I'm not going to leave you." he said, looking straight into my eyes. I never felt so happy in my life. "F-fine...I'll head back to class.." I said, giving up. "Now, let's get those tears  out of the way and I want to see a smile from you." he smiled. I wiped my tears away and put on a fake smile. "Ah, ah, ah. I know a fake smile when I see one. C'mon, I think I know what'll make you feel better, follow me." he said, pulling my arm. I blushed. Soon, he brought me to the auditorium.

I was really puzzled as to why he brought me here when we were supposed to head to class. "Well, I figured you like music and I'm part of a music group so.. I called the boys to sing a song to you. It's possibly your favorite song." he smirked, then went on stage. I took a seat and suddenly, they played one of their songs, "Be There For You". I was touched, hearing them sing this song to me. I suppose this song is to let me know that there are people out there to be here for me. As they ended their song, I ran up to them and gave each of them a hug. I was really touched.

Soon , I started to tear up. "Thank you guys for doing this, but why?" I asked. "This Renjun here figured you needed a lil something' to cheer you up so he texted us to sing one of our songs here for you. C'mon Jiwon, I know we just met but just know that all 7 of us are here for you aight?" said Mark, the leader of the group. "I really owe you guys. I'm sorry for making you guys go through all this because of me..I'm really sorry guys.." I apologized because of all the trouble I made them go through. "Sorry? You don't have to be sorry. It's Jihoon's fault. He's the one who made you cry in the first place. C'mon, we'll help you forget him." Renjun said, with his healing smile.

Apparently it was time for lunch- Wow, time DOES pass by when you're having an amazing time with your friends. 8 of us headed to the cafeteria when I saw Jihoon sitting with Haeun. Jisung pulled me to their table and soon, Siwon came by and sat with us. "Hey...I heard what happened. Look, I'm glad you dumped him. I saw red flags from the very beginning anyways. I'm proud of you lil sis. Glad you did what was right." she said, being really proud of me. Then we started to get along. We spend every minute and second together.

Not wasting any time apart. You could say that Renjun and I were the best of friends. But one day, I found this old picture of me when I was 6 years old that tore us apart..
