Minju's POV

I walked out of the dorm building to see Changbin just about to come inside until he saw me.

"Oh? Where are you going?" He asked.

"Malcolm-ah should be back from work by now, but he's not here yet" I replied as our heads turned towards a car that stopped infront of the building.

We watched as a girl and Malcolm exit the car as they smiled at each other.

"Hey, who's that? Is that Malcolm?" Changbin asked as I could only watch with an uneasy feeling build up inside me.

"Thank you for tonight, Eunbi" He shyly smiled at her.

"You didn't have to drive me home. That was nice" He chuckled and smiled at the smaller girl.

"Don't even mention it. It was a pleasure for me. Go on" She smiled back.

"You go first" He teased.

"Okay" She giggled before waving at him and leaving.

"Huh? What's going on there? Looks like he doesn't wanna say goodbye" Changbin asked and I just felt a bit irritated as we watched them.

"Oh! Minju-yah! Changbin" He smiled as he saw us.

We entered the dorm and joined the others on the couch.

"So, Malcolm, who was that girl that drove you home?" Changbin asked.

"I didn't recognize her at first. It's been so long and I never thought I'd run into her. She was my tutor when I was in grade 9 until she became in charge of her family business" Malcolm smiled.

"Really? She runs a plastic surgery clinic? That's so awesome" Chaeyeon said.

"Your ninth grade tutor ended up being a plastic surgeon. Of course, you didn't recognize her" Hyunjin remarked.

"How did you meet her anyways?" I asked.

"Oh, well...I have a job guiding foreigners who come to Korea for plastic surgery" He said and the others nodded.

"I went to the new clinic in Cheongdam, and there she was and she recognized me right away. You know I look young for my age. She said I look exactly the same" He chuckled.

"Remembering a student from the ninth grade? It's a bit of a stretch" I said which made Malcolm look at me with confusion.

"Oh, Minju. I hear some edge in your voice. A little jealous, are we?" Chaewon teased which made me scoff and smile in embarrassment.

"Me? Jealous? Hey. She's just a tutor from his past. No big deal" I replied which made Malcolm smirk at me.

"Hey, former jealousy expert turned jealousy judge, give us your insight, great Han Jisung. What's the verdict here?" Changbin asked Han which made us look at him.

"So his ninth grade hot tutor showed up. Now, she's a plastic surgeon with her own clinic. I would say...that's at least 50 points on the jealousy scale" Han said which made me give him a glare.

"She took him home, so 60?" He added which made Malcolm chuckle in amusement as he looked at me and I also gave him a glare.

"But look at Malcolm's face. That's not the face of someone who ran into an old tutor" Chaeyeon said while Malcolm blushed and smiled in embarrassment.

"You're right. His face is all red and he can't stop smiling. And he can't stop giggling" Chaewon teased which made Malcolm cover his face and I couldn't believe he was being like this.

"You're acting so suspicious" Chaewon added.

"Ooh, what's this? There must be something else" Changbin teased as he pointed at Malcolm, who was smiling from ear to ear.

"It's a secret" He chuckled which made them grab him.

"Spill it!"

"Tell us"

"She was..." He paused and I just sulked while I ate my chicken.

"My first love" He chuckled which made the others laugh and squeal while I bit off the chicken a little too hard that I bit through the bone.

"She bit threw the bone? She broke 70 on the jealousy scale" Han laughed.

"Mutual first loves? Or was it just you?" Changbin asked.

"Just me, of course. She was studying medicine and she was so hot and super cool. She was called Bae Suzy of Daechi" He explained.

"She was insanely popular. She didn't even notice me. I even baked her chocolate cake for her birthday from scratch" He chuckled which made me look at him, surprised.

"What? You baked her a cake for her birthday?" I asked but he picked up his phone as someone called him.

"Yeah, hello?"

"Hi, yeah. I got home safely thanks to you" He smiled.

"Lunch? Tomorrow?" He asked as I looked at him in disbelief.

"Sure, I'd love to. Yeah" He chuckled and stood from his seat before leaving us.

"Yes, yes. So, okay, I'll see you, then"

"Malcolm is so lucky. He met his first love again, and the model has been upgraded considerably" Hyunjin sighed in envy.

"I think his old tutor might be interested in him as well. You said she drove him home?" Chaeyeon asked.

"A tutor can drive her former student home. It's just good manners" I argued.

"No way. She's also buying him lunch" Chaeyeon retorted.

"Babe. Stop. Minju already broke 90 on the jealousy scale when she heard about the chocolate cake. She's about to explode" Han said as I ate the chicken I have a little too harshly.

"Aish! Who ordered them with bones? Always order boneless wings!" I groaned.

Malcolm's POV

-Time Skip-

I looked at the clock and I groaned as it was already past midnight. I looked back at my notes and started reading them again as the exams were getting near. My mind turned to my phone as I heard a buzz come from it.

I picked it and opened the notification. I sighed heavily as I read what Jeno said as he was one of the people I have to work with for the prom.

(Jeno): We need to pass the draft for the prom timetable this week.

I sighed.

I hate this month so much
