Third person.

Under the school tree sat Yunmi, drinking a juice box, reading a novel that she borrowed from the library just a while ago. She doesn't read often, as she's more drawn to arts, but the cover of the book made her engrossed with the story, and so she decided to read it.

The air surrounding her was calming. On the little bit far from the field were students playing soccer, enjoying their fifteen minutes left before the bell would ring again.

It was nice and all, not until a small yellow paper crane landed on the page where she's currently reading. Spotting it, she looked up to see she was being towered by the tall guy, who sat down by the tree beside her, ending her relaxing moment.

"What are you doing? Why are you here?" Yunmi asked without greetings first.

"Oh, you're here." Ni-ki muttered as he turned his gaze towards her with an inexpressive face. He may look serious, but what he said was clearly to irk Yunmi.

Yunmi grimaced and chose to ignore the annoying guy beside her instead, turning her head onto the next page to go back to reading. But she should've known, that if Ni-ki's here, the word 'peace' does not exist.

"What are you reading? Corny stories with lots of kissing?" Ni-ki bluntly asked, showing a disgusted face.

"This is a murder mystery, so if you don't get away from me this instant I'll try the ways they killed this man to you myself." Yunmi threatened.

"Geez, chill." Ni-ki said, slightly scooting away from her a bit.

"Go focus on your paper cranes instead, will you?" Yunmi said with a tone of sarcasm. Ni-ki scoffed in response and then grabbed another small paper crane from his jacket, though his' were blue. He's got a smile as he proudly shows it to her.

"Seriously?" Yunmi muttered.

"I saw Sunoo hyung do this, so I tried to do it as well. I made this one during class. Where's the yellow one?" Ni-ki shared and then asked.

"Here." Yunmi took it from her book to return it, but Ni-ki denied it.

"Keep it." He said, making Yunmi confusingly raise an eyebrow.

"This might end up crumpled or in the trash bin but okay." Yunmi's response made Ni-ki scoff as he looks away from her.

Discovering a small purple flower on the grass, Ni-ki thought twice before getting it. He twirled it between his fingers, admiring the small flower he found quite lovely.

"Is picking flowers allowed?" Yunmi asked the boy.

"It's not from the bush." Ni-ki implied.

Yunmi hesitated when Ni-ki tried to give the flower to her, anyhow, she still accepted it.

"Let's have a dance practice again later, good?" Ni-ki notified.

"I know, you already told me." Yunmi hummed, flipping onto the next page.

"Just wanted to remind you." Ni-ki patted her head which she didn't mind at first, but he continuously does it to annoy her.

"What's your problem with me." She groaned and tugged his hand down and away from her head.

"Surprisingly today there's none." Ni-ki chuckled. Yunmi sighed and drank her juice box instead, there's not a point in arguing back to this taller kid.

The sound of the bell was heard. They were about to get up when a ball was accidentally thrown straight in her direction. They weren't in slow motion, so Yunmi thought of having no time to move. She squinted her eyes and covered her face with her arms, leaning closer to Ni-ki. She waited for an impact, but there was none. Ni-ki had caught the ball, preventing it from hitting her.
