"No, Eun, this is not like our old school!" I said with a slight hint of frustration. Nearly 10 minutes had passed with Eun incessantly nagging me to skip the history class that was starting in 15 minutes.

"We will surely end up getting in trouble if we get caught," I continued, annoyed by her continuous rambling, as I stuffed my stationery items into my pink bag. Just as I was about to open the castle's map, Eun tugged me back.

"Come on, Chaeng!" Eun clasped my hands in hers and stared deeply into my soul, as if attempting to manipulate me. "Do you really want to attend that stupid lecture about how this castle was built with the help of flying horses and shit?"

A sigh escaped my lips as I removed my hands from her grip. Getting up, I shot her a stern glare. "Eun, it is literally our first class here. You cannot skip it just like that."

Eun sighed audibly and reluctantly got to her feet, muttering a begrudging "Fine." I couldn't help but wear a subtle smile, amused by her predictable reaction. As she reached for her books on the shelf, I couldn't resist a playful comment. "That's my girl," I teased, earning yet another eye roll from her. If she kept rolling her eyes like this, she might just risk them getting permanently stuck that way someday.

The corridor bustled with a scattering of children leisurely making their way through. Ignoring the distractions, I focused my gaze on the map, carefully tracing our intended route. It appeared that to reach our history class, we would have to navigate through the outer chambers of the castle, requiring a decent five minutes of travel time.

Eun, clearly unimpressed by the perplexing layout, muttered her frustration under her breath. "This feels like a never-ending maze," she complained. I couldn't help but reassure her, offering a glimmer of optimism. "Don't worry, Eun. We'll get the hang of it soon enough," I encouraged, hoping to soothe her annoying grumbling.

We walked through the corridor and made our way downstairs to the main hall. There were a few students roaming around, carrying their bags, laughing, and hanging out with their friends.

"Holy crap, look at that little thing!" Eun indicated to a cat walking around groggily across the room. "It's just a cat, what's the big deal?"

"It's Harley's cat, to be exact," Eun blocked the view of the black cat and paused a little, attempting to approach the creature, "I have heard it's not too friendly with the students."

My eyes went wide as she put forward her hand to pet the cat. "Then why the hell are you even going close to it?"

She bent down and gradually patted the little cat, who got frightened for a moment but soon relaxed under her touch.

"Because I like cats."

"Well, that's quite daring of you." Eun and I both turned around, shocked, upon hearing that familiar voice behind us. It was Jeon Jungkook here again, wearing a black tuxedo and, of course, that shiny Rolex around his wrist.

Eun raised her eyebrows, giving him a questioning look as she got up, straightening her uniform. "Petting Madam Harley's cat," he bent down, ruffling the cat's head while conversing in his deep voice, "no ordinary student dares to do that."

Eun bowed down and immediately said sorry, backing off.

"Why?" Jungkook turned around and looked at me, "Isn't it just an ordinary cat?"

I immediately heard him scoff at my words. "Chaeng, don't-" I indicated Eun to shut up by putting up my hand in front of her face. Jungkook took almost a minute to process my words and finally spoke back, "A normal cat? That isn't just a normal cat, little girl." He stepped closer to me until there were just a few inches left between us.
