"Heads up!"

Taehyun immediately ducks his head, barely avoiding the football as it whizzes past his head, later on hitting a student behind him who wasn't paying attention due to her full attention being on her phone.

The student shouts in surprise as she loses her balance, then she quickly stands up and turns to the one who threw the football with an angry look on her face. "Yah! I'm gonna kill you, Park Jungmin!"

Still shouting, she runs towards the thrower who had already started running away even before she had started. And as she passes by Taehyun, the latter steps aside, his eyes widening as he watches yet another student participating in the chaos and running in the hallways.

"What the heck is this?" he asks himself as he looks at the rather messy and unruly hallways before him.

He had noticed it from the moment he stepped in. No. He had already noticed it even before he stepped in, when he saw a group of kids dumping water on another student right below the window they're at.

Not to mention the toilet paper draping from several of the windows, and the visible chaos within most of the classrooms, and, as mentioned, the football that almost hit him. The last one happened just as he took the first step inside the school.

Taehyun almost felt like turning back around and going back to his driver and his car. Unfortunately, however, his driver had already left the moment he saw the hellhole that is this school, never to come back again.

"Great. I guess I won't be going back home alive soon, then," the boy mutters to himself as he looks ahead, then he stands on his toes to look for any signs that might lead him to the teacher's office or at least the student council's office, only for him to jump in surprise and be interrupted when a trash can suddenly lands beside him, its contents spilling onto the ground.

It's a good thing it was the recyclables. It would have been harder to clean if it was the biodegradables.

Taehyun shudders as he looks at it, then he steps away, looking at it one last time before turning back to the hallway just as another student runs past him, bumping into his shoulder and almost making him lose his balance and fall onto the spilled trash.

Thankfully, he's able to act quick and maintain his balance, and the student that had bumped into him is now long gone, probably not even having noticed what he had done.

The boy lets out a sigh before he dusts off his shoulder and continues walking. "This is just your first day, Taehyun. Heads up! They warned you about this so you should just get used to it."

"Sorry, WHAT?!"

Heejin slams her hands on the desk while her brother Heeseung just closes his eyes tight while waiting for her to calm down behind the desk she just slammed her hands on. And when he thinks she had, he slowly opens his eyes and looks at at the girl calmly.

"Heejin, it's your job as the PIO. You have to guide him through the school or else who knows what might happen to him?"

"But I also have to be his bodyguard?! Oppa!" the girl whines as she looks at her brother with a frustrated expression. "There's no way I can do that!"

"You have to," Heeseung tells her, calmly still as he places his clasped hands on the desk. "It's your job."

"No, it's not!" Heejin quickly replies, however. "So what if he ends up getting trampled out there or being frozen to death? Why should that concern me? I'm just supposed to provide him with the information he needs to get through, right? Why do I have to be his babysitter, as well?"
