Sweethearts

Chapter 1

Byulyi groaned exasperatedly as she took out her text books. Why does Park seongsaengnim always have to be late? She felt a slap on her arm. "Ya! What was that for, Yongsun-ah?" Byulyi turned to glare at her friend Yongsun.

These two have met way back in their first grade of elementary school. The longhaired girl put her finger up to shush her irritated friend.

"Haven't you heard? The new-" "Guy is in this class... yes everyone has heard!", Byulyi decided to cut her off. Yongsun glared at the dark brown haired girl. "Just wait until you see him. I heard he's really hot.", Yongsun whispered urgently, looking at the door every so often.

Byulyi raised an eyebrow. "I thought you said you didn't care about a dude's looks as long as he has a good personality?", she accused her older friend in a teasing manner. Now it was Yongsun's turn to glare at Byulyi.

"Yes I did but it doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good looking guy.", she stated, pushing a strand of her recently bleached blonde hair behind her ear. Byulyi couldn't help but chuckle at her antics.

Maybe I should try and set her up with this new guy...even though...nah that'd be way too complicated. Yongsun is very picky when it comes to guys...and utterly hopeless. But who am I to judge? Byulyi chuckled lightly at herself.

"What's funny, Byulyi-ya?" Before she could answer Yongsun, the door flew opened.

Professor Park more or less stumbled into the room, dusting off his grey suit. Byulyi groaned inwardly. He's so extra. "I'm sorry for being late, students.", the teacher exclaimed while setting his back next to his desk.

"As I'm sure you've all heard, a new student will join us today!" Professor Park turned towards the door and signalled someone to come in. Byulyi couldn't help her heartbeat speeding up. God, it's just some new student. Why am I getting so excited over this?

A tall guy entered the class room, his eyes wandering as if he was looking for someone. He seemed rather fit, his hair black, relatively long and slightly parted on the side. The new guy stopped next to professor Park, who was a little bit shorter than him.

The black jacket of their uniform fitted quite tightly around his shoulders. Byulyi's gaze fell onto his faze and from what she could tell, given the distance, he had quite plump lips and oh god, she really needed to look away.

"See! I told you so, Byulyi.", Yongsun teased her friend, as soon as she noticed her turning her head away. Byulyi glared at the blonde girl. She hated to admit it but damn...this guy was truly stunning.

"He probably has a horrible personality!", Byulyi whispered as a matter of fact. "Look at him! Guys can't have both, a decent personality and good looks. He's probably a player.", she added. Yongsun slapped her friend's arm lightly.

"You shouldn't judge a book by its cover, Byulyi-ya.", she scolded Byulyi. The dark brown haired girl scoffed, turning once again to look at the new student. Confusion spread over her thoughts. He does look kinda familiar...

Byulyi noticed all the whispers dying down a little. The new guy smirked lightly before bowing down.

"Hello everyone, my name is Kim Seokjin. I hope you all welcome me warmly.", he introduced himself, flashing a smile at the other students. Byulyi's eyebrows furrowed.

Have I heard his name before? She supressed the urge to shake her head. Come on, I've probably heard that name somewhere in my eighteen years of living, so it's nothing to get worked up about.

"You may have a seat, haksaeng." Professor Park signalled Seokjin to sit down. He nodded before going up the rows. Byulyi was sure she could hear some girls squealing as he passed them by. Wordlessly, she watched him take a seat next to Lee Junghwan, who greeted the boy with a big smile.
