"Damn it! I'm late," said Liz. Liz ran quickly into the school and towards the main door. Suddenly, "Duk!"  the sound of her bumping into the man walking in front of her. Liz said "mianhei" while bowing to the man. "Are you blind?" asked the man. When Liz heard the man's question, she became angry. "This man is so rude," Liz said to herself. When she looked up, she saw that the man she'd run into was Fujio Kazuma. "So, you're the new kid?" Liz asked. She went on, "Don't you have any manners when talking to people?" "Didn't you hear me apologizing earlier? Are you deaf?" said Liz. Fujio smiled slyly and walked away, leaving Liz, who was snorting furiously. "Eee, men are useless," Liz grunted, and then she walked away because she was already late for class.

Liz's face was red, and she was sweating when she got to class because she was running. Liz apologized to her teacher for being late and then bowed to her. "It's okay, we're just about to start the class. Be quick and take your seat." said her teacher. Liz went straight to her desk next to Jinni with a pissed off face because she remembered her fight with Fujio earlier. "Why are you late, Liz?" Jinni asked. "I got up late this morning because I was up late last night scrolling social media too much." Jinni said, "Ooo, but why does your face look so angry today, like you haven't eaten in a month?" "I have a problem with the new kid. "How rude!" Liz said angrily. Jinni said, "Which one?" "Fujio Kazuma," Liz answered. "Hey, you're the one who likes him, and you say he's handsome and sexy," Jinni teased. "Nahhh, he's ugly, everything about him is ugly, and even the way he acts is ugly," said an angry Liz. Jinni laughed at what Liz said, and then she continued to write the notes that her teacher was showing on the screen.

Fujio came to class while Yuta was giving a lesson. Teacher Yuta asked, "Why are you late today, Fujio?" Fujio replied, "Sorry, teacher, I woke up late because Hokuto didn't wake me up." Hokuto asked, "Hey, why is it my fault?" "Why didn't you wake him up, Hokuto?" asked Teacher Yuta. "Teacher, I did wake him up numerous times, but he is still sleeping," Hokuto said. Everyone in the class laughed at the way the two of them were acting. Teacher Yuta shook her head and told Fujio, "Don't worry about it." go sit at your table quickly. Fortunately, this is my time to teach, if teacher Jaehyun you would have had to sunbathe on the field already with this hot weather". "Hihi okay thank you teacher" Fujio said and went to his desk.

"I'm late because I got into a fight with that marshmallow girl. I think her name is Liz," Fujio said in a mad voice. "Why are you arguing with her?" Hokuto asked. Fujio told Hokuto what had happened. "Why are you talking like that to her? I feel sorry for her, considering she did apologize to you. You should talk to her nicely because she's a girl.  You said you're a gentleman. If you want to be a gentleman, you don't just have to be with your girlfriend only. You must be a gentleman with other people too. It's a common sense, you know." Hokuto yells at Fujio because he doesn't like the way Fujio treats Liz. Fujio was shocked by Hokuto's advice. "Ok, I'll go apologize to her later", said Fujio. "Okay" said Hokuto. Both of them continued to pay attention to what teacher Yuta explained in front.

The break time for KPI students has come. All of the students hurried to the school cafeteria.

Liz asked, "Did you bring your lunch with you today?" "no. I forgot," Jinni said simply. "Me too. "Well, I ran into Sooyoung ahjumma (a canteen worker) yesterday, and she told me that she wants to make a special meal tomorrow," Liz said with excitement. "Really? If that's the case, we'll eat at the cafe today," Jinni said with enthusiasm. "All right, let's go!" Liz shouted. She pulled Jinni by the hand, and the two of them ran to the cafeteria.

Hokuto said, "Let's go eat in the cafeteria today, Fujio." Fujio teased, "Eh, you want to spy on your crush?" Hokuto laughed when Fujio teased him. "Is it wrong if I'm hungry?" Hokuto asked. "Nope. Okay, let's go, I'm hungry," answered Fujio. Hokuto told him, "Your head is full of food." Fujio chuckled. And they both went to the restaurant.

AT THE CAFETERIA

Fujio and Hokuto arrived at the cafeteria. "OMG, so many people here, I'm losing my appetite," said Fujio. Hokuto's eyes widened at the many students there, but he saw the girl he liked standing in line to get food at the cafeteria. His heart felt happy because he could see the girl. "let's go back to class, I'm too lazy to eat" Fujio said as he started to leave the cafeteria area. But his steps stopped because his shirt collar was dragged by Hokuto until he was pushed backwards.  "Nope. I still want to eat here" said Hokuto. Then Hokuto went towards the place to get food where Jinni was in line. He quickened his pace as he saw no one lined up behind Jinni. So, this is an opportunity for him to approach Jinni. Fujio just followed Hokuto from behind.

Hokuto was lining up behind Jinni. He could smell the scent from Jinni's hair and the perfume she was wearing. "She smells good," Hokuto thought to himself. He was so crazy about the smell of Jinni, making the staff at the café kept asking him the same question because he was zoning out. The staff asked Hokuto, "Do you want kimbap?" but he didn't answer. Still in his world, Hokuto smiled to himself. Suddenly, "pap!" Fujio slaps Hokuto on the shoulder, which startled him and brought him back to reality. "Huko-chan, the staff keeps asking you the same question, don't you hear it?" Fujio asked, "What's wrong with you?" asked Fujio again, feeling strange with his cousin's behavior. Jinni chuckled because she had been observing Hokuto's behavior since earlier. Hokuto noticed that Jinni chuckled at him, he smiled shyly. "Do you want this kimbap or not?" the staff asked again. "Sorry sorry, yes, I want" answered Hokuto. After that he went to the other food section. While Jinni was taking food, suddenly her mobile phone slipped from her hand but luckily Hokuto was able to catch it before it fell to the floor and immediately gave it to her. "Gomawo" answered Jinni while bowing her head a little in gratitude to Hokuto. "You're welcome" answered Hokuto with a smile. Then Jinni went to the table where Liz was waiting for her to eat together. Fujio was watching Hokuto's behavior from earlier with many questions in his head. After that they both went to the cafeteria table and enjoyed lunch.

Jinni sat in front of Liz; she was holding a tray full of food. "Why are you smiling?" asked Liz. "I met a handsome male student earlier. Very handsome. But I've never seen him at school before" answered Jinni. "Who? Where is he?" asked Liz again. "That's him. The tall man who was queuing behind me earlier" replied Jinni while pointing with her index finger towards the male student. Liz replied "That's the new student I told you about. Handsome right? You don't believe what I said yesterday. The tall one's name is Hokuto Yoshino. The one on the other side, Fujio Kazuma, my enemy" explained Liz. "So. that's Hokuto? which all our classmates are crazy about. No wonder all the female students are obsessed with him, he's handsome, I admit it," said Jinni. "Why? do you like him?" teased Liz with a smirk. "no. I'm just asking" answered Jinni quickly, wanting to get rid of the pounding in her heart that she also didn't know why she was pounding. They enjoyed their lunch in peace.

Fujio and Hokuto were eating lunch. But Fujio noticed that Hokuto kept looking at someone.  "Who do you have your eyes on? Since then, you've been acting weird" asked Fujio. "Uh, there's nobody," Hokuto lied. Fujio was right. He had been watching Jinni, who was sitting not far from him. He's already in love with this girl. Hokuto asked, "When are you going to apologize to your marshmallow?" as he put the food in his mouth. "That marshmallow isn't mine. Ish" said Fujio, "After we eat, I'll go see her before heading to class." said Fujio. "Okay," said Hokuto, and they went on to eat the rest of their food.
