"Alright Lee Hyo Jin, you can do it" Hyo Jin murmur to herself as she scribble down whatever answers crossing her mind.

[FLASHBACK]

As soon as Hyo Jin stepped in her Mathematics class... her teacher conduct a surprise test which of course, Hyo Jin was so surprised.

She didn't even revise her recent topic and on top of that Math is always her weakest field. She cursed on the spot as soon as the announcement reached her.

She eyed Joon Kyu whom already has a sly smile plastered on his face. Joon Kyu smirked at Hyo Jin, he mouthed 'you'll fail'

Hyo Jin growls at him and got chance to punch him on his ribs before taking a seat on her desk.

The test started soon after bringing Hyo Jin to her current situation. She's obviously struggling.

-

"You got ten minutes let people! Get it done and make sure not to leave any unanswered questions right, Lee Hyo Jin?" He says aloud.

Hyo Jin keep a calm facade and just blankly stare at her Math teacher whom actually startle her. I wouldn't leave any if you tell about this shit test earlier.

She sigh over the look of her test paper. I'll fail it for sure, no doubt about it anymore.

Hyo Jin sit back and wait her teacher to collect the paper. "How's the paper Hyo Jin?" he asked.

Hyo Jin just snort at him. "Easy" she simply blurts because of her anger.

"Well, let's see your score then, if you fail then you need to attend extra classes with me, call?" Her Math teacher challenged.

Hyo Jin give a thought of her teacher offer and end up accepting his challenge. "Call" she responded and at the corner of her eyes she saw her teach smile. He must thought I'm going to fail it, don't even dream. I sacrifice my energy to answer his test surely I'll pass.

She's going deep and deep in thought until a paper rocket hit her on her side, dragging her back to reality. She look down and pick up the paper but before she got the chance to read it Joon Kyu snatch it away. Ignoring who's the sender could be.

"Ya Joon Kyu! Darn you! Give it back" Hyo Jin yell and try to get the paper back but Joon Kyu is too tall for Hyo Jin. Making the paper out of reach.

"Hyo Jin, please behave" Naomi talk down on Hyo Jin which she nonchalantly shruggs her off and still attempt to get the paper.

She failed after a few attempts, she give up and carry on with the next class.

During lesson, Joon Kyu secretly unfold the paper rocket and read the message in it.

'You're the light that brighten up my dark days and the strenght that make me able to go through hard times. Lee Hyo Jin, I love you.'

Joon Kyu is baffled to what he just read and he immediately crumple the paper into his drawer when their teacher pass by. Wait, that handwritting seems like.... eyy, that can't be possible. That person is not even enrolling here and he's older than her. Joon Kyu shake his head to clear his thoughts away.

-

"Give it now you bastard" Hyo Jin threatens but it's not intimidating enough for Joon Kyu. He rolled his tongue at Hyo Jin and continue eating.

"Gunwoo! Look at Joon Kyu! He stole my letter" she wails, shoving Gunwoo repeatedly.

"Make this stop Joon Kyu or else I'm going to make today your last" Gunwoo solemnly utter and masked his deadly gaze at Joon Kyu.

Joon Kyu immediately give in and toss the paper back at Hyo Jin. "What is that actually?" Gunwoo curiously asked.

"This?" Hyo Jin rise the paper mid-air. Gunwoo nodded at her. "Ask Joon Kyu, I bet he read this already during class, right?" she fumed.

Joon Kyu strongly denies Hyo Jin's accusation even deep down he knew that he just invade Hyo Jin's privacy.

"Ah! Do you hear about Seyong replacement?" Joon Kyu spat suddenly, hoping to change the topic about the letter. Take the bait, take the bait.

Gunwoo accidently cough when he heard what Joon Kyu just blurted out but luckily the two too busy to notice, furthermore, his coughing got buried under the chaotic noises of the cafeteria.

"No, did you Gunwoo?" Hyo Jin turns to his bestfriend beside her. Gunwoo just shake his head, feign ignorance.

Joon Kyu nods and continue with his conversation. Overtime, they got engaged into more conversations while Gunwoo just act like bystander listening to the two of them talking about the new romeo (which is him).

He sometimes holding his laugh, feeling angry the next seconds and proud later, he feel a lot of emotions going through him hearing how the two have animated talk about so-called mysterious Romeo. Whom actually listening the whole time.

"So you're saying that the Romeo is someone compatible with me? Is it you Gunwoo?" Hyo Jin attack Gunwoo with her question.

Gunwoo's body stiffened and Hyo Jin didn't fail to notice his reaction.

"No, would I play such chessy character? I don't want to ruined my image even though by chance I got offered" He reply but Joon Kyu and Hyo Jin hesitant to accept his reasoning.

"Ah~ let's go, we got class to attend after this" Gunwoo adds and rushing to left the cafeteria.

"Gunwoo seems suspicious though" Joon Kyu evaluate.

"Yea, I notice that too, he can't lie to me" Hyo Jin agrees.

-

"Start stretching Hyo Jin, he could be here any minutes now" Miss Jean instructed and assist Hyo Jin to get her body stretch before practicing.

"Where the heck is this Romeo? Didn't he know that our practice won't start until he show up?" Hyo Jin furiously mumbles.

Miss Jean can only afford a smile to calm Hyo Jin down. I can expect this to happen still. What to do, our blooming romeo this time around is not your ordinary chessy romeo but a bad boy one.

Hyo Jin sit down at the corner of the practice room and take the oppurtunity to read the letter that she kept in her bag.

She unfold it but at the same time someone step into the practice room robbing Hyo Jin's oppurtunity once again.

The letter fall on the floor. Hyo Jin gasp, can't believe her eyes either she's seeing the right thing or hallucinating.

"You got to be kidding me..." she grimace.
