Tuesday, when all tough subjects filled your schedules like a cramped neck for a year.

History, Korean Literature, Physics, Discrete Mathematics, and her major subject in Tourism class.


Honestly, Chohee is the only one who's ecstatic to arrive in the mornings and participate in any given agenda. It might only be the second day of special summer classes, but the teachers are already amused by the female beta's enthusiasm.


Her life story of being homeschooled is already known to the class of 15, yet the reason has remained unknown.

Her cheerful persona gained her two new friends, though: the beta twins, Hwang Hyunjin and Hwang Yeji.

The trio has been almost in each other's skin since yesterday afternoon, as they got closer while mocking their strict math teacher.


Chohee is equally untroubled, still can't believe, and forever elated to see herself in a real school, with comfortable college clothes and nice friends.

She was glad that someone befriended such a hyperactive girl as her. Though she'd be glad to approach the twins first, she ended up being approached, with Hyunjin being smacked by Yeji for being too serious.


Currently, they're in a little deserted cafeteria, judging that it's literally the summer break and only permitted people are allowed to go on campus.


"You shouldn't go with a guy like that," Yeji said and jabbed her thumb at her peacefully eating twin. "Trust me, when this stupid guy dated an annoying omega, I tell you I almost flushed her on the toilet."

"Hey! She's not annoying; you're just jealous that I won't go to the mall with you anymore." Hyunjin retorted.

"Because she's making you do it," she threw a warning glare. "Anyways, back to you, Cho-nim, that kind of guy will just take advantage of you and make you a stupid clown."

"It's just that he's not that kind of guy, Ye-nim," Chohee pouted. "He won't even spare a sweet glance at me."

"You're just as lovesick as me, Chocho." Hyunjin faked a sob while patting her shoulder

"But you had a relationship before, at least," Chohee replied with the same action.


Yeji can just sigh and sip on her drink, ignoring the two's crying session.


Let's just say they clicked enough to share their random problems and daily rants, so much that they gave each other nicknames.

Understandable since they're all betas, and they share the same natural views on almost everything.


After a few more minutes of the duo's moment, Chohee's tummy grumbled.

Finally, I can eat. She then hurriedly stood up and ran to the almost empty counter of foods with her lunch card.

Getting into the ongoing line of four, Jisung easily spotted the female beta carrying a still-empty lunch tray.

Moving closer since he couldn't avoid the rumbling of his stomach any longer, his eyes squinted, seeing her displeased gazes and awkward smiles, looking to the possibly alpha before her, rambling something.


Jisung snorted. It was the first time seeing her actually troubled, and she wanted to flash out. Nevertheless, he got behind her unannounced, and that's when he heard the conversation clearly.


"Do you know that five times three equals three? Will you marry me?"

"Oh, Kyungmin, it's fifteen." Chohee flashed a tight smile

"Is it? But now I'm sure one plus two equals me and you."

"Dude" she tapped his shoulder with a sigh, "It's three. If you ever need a very big help in basic Math, I'll be happy to teach you then."



Jisung can't help but snort, earning the two's attention.

Chohee's eyes widened and she flashed a thankful, glad you're here smile.




"Umm, sorry to bother you, but the line won't get short if you don't move forward," Jisung said in his most polite way.


Well, the creepy alpha guy Kyungmin did, granting Jisung and Chohee a chance to pick out their preferred plates of food at the food counter.

As they both finished paying with their lunch cards, Chohee, of course, took the opportunity to trail behind the pure alpha, which got obviously noticed.


"Is that your new friend?" he teased.

"Ew, no, he's supposed to be in his third year but got repeated two times because of math. But damn, I didn't know he's that bad."

Jisung snorted, "He's obviously hitting on you."

"Oh, I'll gladly be the one to hit him personally," she said, clicking his tongue. "Oh, Jisungie, that's our table, and my new friends, wanna join?"

"Yeah, no," he replied without hesitation. "Seriously, go, Chohee; I bet you still have classes."

"Aww, any good luck kiss?"

"Good luck smack?"

"Anything from you, baby."


He just rolled her eyes and separated once he found his preferred table, a fair distance away from the trio.


Chohee gladly skipped her way to their table, the twins suspiciously eyeing her.



"Who's the guy?" Yeji started

"Oh, Yeyeji," she started with a dreamy sigh and placed the tip of her chopsticks on her lower lip. "He's the one I'm telling you about."

"The hottie?" Hyunjin joined

"The daddy?" Yeji added

"He called me sweetheart" she dreamily replied while nibbling the chopsticks

"Officially?"

"Unofficially. But we'll get there." she clamped her lips with a pop and dug on her pasta


Truly doesn't know what to say; the twins just shared a look and shrugged, then faced their youngest, who's mindlessly grinning.

They're getting there, right?

Like just a single percent, no?
