Y/N

While being there, me and Chanhee talked for most of the time. I shared my story with him, he shared his.

When I thought being in the spotlight was the best thing you could ever have, he told me it was quite bad.

He was always under pressure from his parents and under people. Just hearing about it makes me have anxiety.

We talked and became close but came the day he had to leave. He actually left a day before me.

After he left, I honestly felt a bit better and lonely at the same time. But I knew that he will keep my story safe.

And on the other hand, when I got back, as always, Younghoon continued bullying me.

He called me names, insulted me, pushed and all that usual stuff.

"HA HA look at that bitch. Lonely bitch. Who would even want to be with you?" one of his friend laughed

Younghoon slapped him on his chest and he winced. I took a seat next to Seungjoo. She waved at me and smiled.

"Did you enjoy the trip? Your face looks very bright"

"Oh believe me it'll be gone once today ends"

"Ei~ Don't be like that" She said

Miss Jin walked in the all and greeted us.

<3

"Yah. Where were you? You should've replied to me. You won't find someone else that will find you other than me. So next time whenever I text you,you better answer" he threatened.

I nodded, frightfully. He smirked and walked away. I covered my face and cried.

I felt being watched and being trapped in his stupid game. Seungjoo noticed that I was crying and ran next to me.

"Wh-Why are you crying? Did Younghoon say something again? This bitch I'm gonna beat him up" she stood up and almost stomped away before I held onto her.

She stopped on her tracks and patted my back. Unknowingly, I cried real hard. Then I remembered what Chanhee had said.

'Breathe. I'm gonna be ok. Breathe and remember that I've been in this place before. I've been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and I've survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. They're painful and debilitating, but I can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade.'

So I took a deep breath and calmed down. I looked up and wiped my tears.

"Are you ok?" Seungjoo asked

I nodded and sighed. I smiled at her and stood up. I picked up my bag and walked out. Seungjoo and I talked about dumb stuff while walking towards the gate.

I waved at Seungjoo and walked towards the part time job I had. The walk was very normal. It was like usual.

I plugged in my earphones and listened to a random song.

<33

"Thank you for buying with us. Come again!"

The customer walked out leaving me alone. I sat down behind the counter and sighed.

This is the last job for the day. The night shift will end an hour before school so I had time to go home and get ready.

I got up and stacked up the products and placed the expired products on the counter and back to the shelfs.

I placed the drinks, food and other stuff. When I finished, I walked back to the counter and found a tteokbokki set.

I looked around and saw no one nearby. I noticed that there was a note on top of the cover.

For Y/n

I felt thankful. I didn't have to eat the expired food and ramen.

I opened the lid and realized that it was my favorite rose tteokbokki.

I grabbed the chopsticks and ate the tteok. It taste so good!

As expected rose tteokbokki never disappoints.

In the mean time I opened my book and studied. Midterms is next month so I had to do my best for it.

<333

"Yah Y/n. Didn't you sleep last night?" Seungjoo gasped

"I haven't slept for a couple of weeks now. I'm impressed that I hadn't faint yet" I joked

"Doing part times?" she asked

I nodded and fixed my hair. I took out the notes and books and continued studying.

"Yah, New is coming." She notified

"New? Who?" I said not paying attention

"New! New the top model! Don't you know him?" she exclaimed

Chanhee?

I looked up at her and she showed the school board.

It mentioned that he will come and give briefing for the students taking modelling course and he was gonna have a mini meet and greet. And it was today.

I look back at Seungjoo with wide-eyes. She also had the same expression as me.

I could imagine how loud it would be today.

Time passes as the modelling department was already visited by Chanhee.

Now we were waiting in the main hall. Luckily for my department we had schedules in that hall that very same time so we had to help the staff, volunteers and teachers on preparing the seats.

I caught a glimpse of Chanhee behind the curtains. Pretty sure he saw me.

He hid back behind the curtains.

My department got to seat at the very front seat. I was forced to sit next to Younghoon since Seungjoo had to go back home for an emergency.

I shakily sat next to Younghoon and looked down.

The curtain opened and revealed the chair that was occupied by the host. Chanhee is no where to be found.

Then the crowed roared. Mostly girls. Chanhee had walked in.

I couldn't bring myself to clap because Younghoon had his eyes on me. I saw Chanhee smiling at me but I couldn't smile back.

I could just eye back at Younghoon.

"Can you please introduce youself to the students please"

"Hello everyone! My name is New. Nice to meet you guys"
