The very pretty girl with brown wolf cut hair and eye-length bangs. She wears glasses.

I feel uneasy when I realize that the girl is watching me as I place my fingers on the keyboard and pretend to do something.

Will she sit next to me since she doesn't want to meet anyone? I mean, I think it's not a bad idea.

The way she walks is a little slow. She sits at the desk next to me, turns her face to my side, and simply smiles. I open my mouth in surprise and almost say hi to her, but I hesitate and type again.

I still watch her out of the corner of my eye and see her opening her laptop and having trouble logging in.

She stops typing and turns to me again. ''Hi,'' she says calmly.

''Hi.'' I sigh a little anxiously. ''Do you have a sister?''

''No,'' she says, frowning. ''I do not think.''

''Your face in profile reminds me of someone I saw yesterday.''

''Who?'' She smiles.

''There's something about you and a girl I saw yesterday that is similar.''

''Really.'' She smiles.

''Yeah! Like, it seems and doesn't seem at the same time. Maybe your side profile... I thought you were sisters.''

''I don't have siblings.'' She smiles amiably and continues trying to log inㅡit's giving an invalid passwordㅡ, and sighs nervously, and taps her fingers hard on the keyboard, ''I can't log in...''

My breathing has become long. My hands start to shake when I feel the need to help her. I don't want to sound arrogant, know-it-all, and nosy, but I'm going to do this for her.

Until she stops typing, and I give her a desperate look. ''Can you help me? I really can't do this.''

I even feel good. I was about to get closer. So, I get up and approach her, resting my hand on the desk, I turn the laptop to the side a little and adjust the screen.

''You need to log in to this network here OFFICE.'' I enter the password for her.

''I thought it was another Wi-Fi network.'' She slaps her hand on her forehead and smiles awkwardly. Her breath smells like refreshing mint.

''What's your name?'', I asked curiously.

''Chae-won.''

''Akari Unnie.'' I feel a hand rest on my shoulder, and when I turn around, it's Ji-hye who is saying:

''You can ask me anything if you have questions,'' Ji-hye talks to the girl. ''Akari unnie doesn't like to be bothered in class.''

Unfortunately, Ji-hye is getting in my way.

''Sorry,'' Chae won says, lowering her glasses to look at her.

''I'm fine, Ji-hye. I wanted to talk to her. '' I look into her huge brown eyes, and Jihyo stands expressionless, looking at me and the girl.

Ji-hye goes back to her seat. I keep scrolling and locate the folder where the math exercises are.

''I don't like math,'' she says.

''So, what are you doing here exactly?'' I laugh at her statement and look at her face again.

''Humans are complete.''

''I don't like it either, but I have great grades. I can help you if you want.''

''I accept since I've been having bad luck lately.'' She smiles again, and her smile is jovial. Teeth well aligned with beautiful whiteness.
