Facade

First Day

Sunlight shone on a boy's face blinding him, which caused him to open his eyes and stare at the wall ahead of him for a few minutes. The boy cooked himself breakfast, sat down, and started eating; he then smiled as he caught sight of his new school uniform.

This boy's name is Seong Jiwoo, and he's 17, and today would be his first day at Saebom High as a Senior. Jiwoo started to run to the bus stop as it was a good 10-minute walk from his house, and he had taken too long to get ready for school.

Jiwoo's POV

I finally caught up to the bus and walked on, not forgetting to bow and greet the bus driver. For some reason, all the students on the bus kept whispering and blushing; whenever they caught my eyes, I thought it was weird but brushed it off.

I walked into the school building and looked around for the staff room so I could grab my schedule, and I'd figure out everything else afterward. People kept giving me glances and whispering very loudly, and I don't think they knew I could hear them if they knew they didn't seem to care. I finally found the staff room and tried to walk in, but I bumped into a male student.

I backed away, then looked closer at the male, who turned out to be very handsome; he wasn't my type but was a good-looking guy. I got ready to apologize, but he glared at me and walked away; I watched him walk away and noticed a female student following him. Still, she bumped into his back as he suddenly stopped, and I spotted a giant stain of her foundation on his school jacket, which caused me to laugh as she started to panic and blow it off his coat.I walked into the room and bowed.

"Hello, I'm a new student. My name is Seong Jiwoo, and I'm here for my schedule." I stood up as a male teacher spoke, "Hello, my name is Mr. Han. I'll going to be your homeroom teacher starting today." he then handed me my schedule and ID "you can follow me to the classroom" I nodded as he bowed goodbye to the rest of the staff, and we both headed to class.

Mr. Han walked in first "Jiwoo, wait here." he walked in, and I heard him speak, "Hello, I hope you enjoyed your summer break and are fully ready for the new semester! Today we have two new students joining our class starting today. Im Jukyung, please raise your hand and say something" I heard a girl's voice as she greeted everyone, and then I heard Mr. Han speak again "our second student is Seong Jiwoo; please come in."

I slid the door open and walked in slowly as I heard whispers, "wow! He's handsome!" "we'll be the best good-looking class in the whole school." I stood next to the teacher's desk and looked up; I first noticed that the girl and male I met in front of the staff room were there. I smiled. "Hello, my name is Seong Jiwoo, and I'm 17. Please take care of me" I caught sight of a girl in red who clapped her hands together in excitement.

Mr. Han then said, "Jiwoo, you can sit next to Taehoon in the back," I noticed a brown-haired student raise his hand, and I took my seat as class started. A student in the back yelled out, "Nice! The visual average for our class went up!!" this caused all the students to clap loudly, but Mr. Han interrupted them, "Hyeon Gyu. Ahn Hyeon Gyu. Don't say things like that. To me, you're all beautiful. Beautiful from afar. Even more up close."

A female student interrupted him, "Mr. Han, Your so cheesy!" that didn't stop him from responding, "you all don't know how beautiful you are. Being at the age of 18 is beautiful and thrilling. So don't get all dolled up, especially Su Ah." She scowled, but then Taehoon whined, "Mr. Han, your too serious!"

The class then ended. I started to take my stuff out of my bag but jumped when Taehoon and Hyeon Gyu stood at my desk with a smile. "Jiwoo, do you want to come with us to grab some stuffed bread?" I looked around and then responded, "I don't have money" Taehoon waved his hands in dismissal, "it's fine. It's on me since you are a new student," I agreed as the three of us walked out, stopping as I got splashed with a bit of water.

I closed my eyes as Taehoon looked shocked. I opened my eyes to see that the girl had been trying to get some water off a school uniform jacket but ended up splashing the water on the student and me. I saw the girl smile nervously as she apologized to the student, who then glared at her as she spoke, "I'll take it to the dry cleaners and give it back when it's done" He shrugged "you can throw it away"

she looked shocked as he walked away as did I, but I shrugged it off. We all then walked to the cafeteria for a snack. Taehoon and Hyeon Gyu started questioning me, "so, Jiwoo, what are your likes?" "do you like sports?" "how about comics?" I smiled. "I don't read comics, and I don't play sports anymore" Taehoon looked confused "eh? Why?" I looked down and answered, "oh, I got an injury a long time ago, so I quit sports."

Taehoon looked disappointed and nodded. "Understandable, that's too bad." later that day, school ended I walked around the neighborhood searching for a part-time job. I was living alone, so I had to support myself financially. I spotted a coffee shop and smiled, and chose to walk in. I encountered a woman who greeted me. I said, "hi, I'm looking for a part-time position. Is there a spot available?"

She then told me that I would have to put an application in and they'd contact me in a few days or so. I stepped out, holding a slight refresher, and started walking home. After a while, I stopped but then bumped into someone. I cursed when I let the drink in my hand go, causing it to spill all over the ground. I looked up in anger, only for my expression to soften when I recognized her as the other new student at school. I smiled as she started to apologize. "I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention,"

I shook my head "it's OK; I wasn't paying attention either." she smiled. "My name is Im Jukyung! Your Seong Jiwoo, right? We're in the same class?" I nodded, but she and I turned when we heard the sound of a motorcycle engine. In front of us, we saw a yellow and black motorcycle, causing us to flinch as the person pushed the brakes and slid the bike to avoid us as it came to a stop.

The person sat up and took off their helmet, causing my eyes to widen in shock. Whoever he was, he was my type, and I liked what I saw. He glared at us but then ran off after handing Jukyung his Helmet; as more bikes came after him, Jukyung and I looked at each other and nodded, following him.

We stopped at a staircase and saw the same guy talking to three guys. The first one spoke, "Han Seojun. Kim Chorong said you went abroad. I see that was a lie." Now known as Seojun smirked and responded, "I'm sorry. you bastard" this caused the leader to punch him in the stomach "what I think of when I see you are I have no money left? I just..." he grabbed Seojun's collar and seemed to get angrier "you didn't come out that day to backtab us, right?" Seojun scoffed with a smirk as the guy continued to speak, "did you think we wouldn't do anything if you ignored us and avoided us?"

The guy went to hit him in the face, but Seojun dodged and smirked "don't hit the face," the man got angrier and spoke, "yes, you avoided it. Now you're dead!" he grabbed Seojun's shoulder and went to hit him only for all of them to hear a siren they all then ran away. Jukyung and I slowly walked out, sighing in relief. I went to leave, only to hit a wall. I looked up and saw I had hit seojun, who gave me a stern look in confusion "what's this?" my eyes widened.

I went to walk away as Jukyung threw me the helmet and ran away, leaving me here as Seojun grabbed my shirt to prevent me from leaving, but I tripped and almost fell over, and he pulled me towards him, causing my face to land on his chest. My face reddened as I backed away in fear and ran away, not before I heard him yell out, "wait. My helmet!" I finally got home and set the helmet down on my desk, and jumped on my bed, thinking about today's events, but then I remembered and sat up, looking at the helmet in shock "shit, I brought it with me,"

I grabbed my hair and ruffled it "why did I do that!" I sighed and thought about Han Seojun. I smiled "we're bound to meet again if I still have his helmet." I decided to skip dinner, showered, and got ready for bed; the moment my head hit the pillow, I was out.

The next day

I was running to school, I had slept through my alarm and missed the bus, so I had no choice but to run. I found the classroom and slid it open in a hurry. I looked up at Mr.Han, who smiled at me. "Why are you late?" I said, "Sorry, I slept in and missed the bus" He nodded. "I'll let it slide for today. Since you were late, you have a new seatmate, our returning student Han Seojun." It instantly clicked when the said person raised his head, and we made eye contact. I pointed at him in shock. "You're the one who almost hit us!!"
