"Zhang Hao, today is your first official day on the job, so do your best." Jiwoong tells him. "To make it easier for you, we decided it'd be best to sign you up to the new school Sung Hanbin is going to. Today is the first day for both of you, so you're both the new kids."

"I have to go to school?" Zhang Hao sighs. "Okay fine. Anything to complete my mission, I guess."

"Here." Gyuvin hands him a backpack. "And please don't cause any trouble."

"Don't you worry." Zhang Hao says goodbye to them and teleports near the school behind some bushes. He's still pretty new to this, but he practiced teleporting all night and he's not so bad at it anymore.

Once he walks into the school, he notices how crowded it is. How is he supposed to find Hanbin? He can't teleport to him since someone would see him, so he has to find him on his own.

Just as he's about to walk to the main office, he notices Hanbin is walking towards the same direction.

Hanbin doesn't look up or make eye contact with anyone as he walks towards the main office to get his schedule. He hopes that in this new school he'll be able to stay invisible.

He'd rather be invisible instead of getting so much attention due to him getting bullied.

Zhang Hao thinks of how he should start talking to him without making Hanbin suspicious of him. He looks down at his watch and notices the first class will start in just a few minutes. If he causes any trouble, Gyuvin, Jiwoong, Taerae, and Yujin would get mad at him.

"Oh, no! I'm going to be late!" Zhang Hao rushes past Hanbin and goes into the main office. "Hello, I'm Zhang Hao. I'm a new transfer student." He tells the lady at the front desk.

"Okay, I'll print out your schedule in just a minute." She nods and looks at the computer.

Zhang Hao looks around the main office as he waits for his schedule and he is startled when he sees Hanbin open the door.

"Sorry." Hanbin apologizes quietly and walks into the room.

"Oh, it's okay." Zhang Hao gives him a small smile.

"Here's your schedule, Zhang Hao. Have a great first day. If you have any questions or concerns, just come here, alright?" The lady tells him.

"Okay, thank you." He nods and bows at her before walking towards the door.

Once he's outside the room, he checks his watch and realizes he'll be late if he doesn't get to class now, but what if he's not able to find Hanbin later? He should wait for him.

After a few minutes, Hanbin walks out of the room and Zhang Hao purposefully bumps into him. "Oops, I'm so sorry. I didn't see you." Zhang Hao tells him. "You're a new student, right?"

"Yes."

"Oh, so am I." Zhang Hao smiles. "Today's my first day. I hope we can get along."

"I-I have to go to class." Hanbin tells him. "I'm already late."

"What class do you have? Let me see your schedule." He takes his schedule from him and notices he has every class with him. 'Really?' He thinks to himself. 'Couldn't Jiwoong and Gyuvin make it a little less obvious?'

"Woah, your schedule is just like mine." Zhang Hao tells him. "Could it be because we got it at the same time?" He says, trying to prevent Hanbin from getting suspicious.

"I guess so." Hanbin just nods. "I have to go." He starts walking away. He wanted to stay invisible but there's already someone talking to him. He doesn't like attention. He never has. Whenever he gets attention, bullying always comes with it.

"Do you want to be friends?" Zhang Hao follows him. "We're both new here and happen to have every class together. Isn't that so cool?"

"Sorry, but I like being alone." Hanbin tells him before walking away from him. Yesterday he met three guys who also wanted to be his friends, but he declined.

Zhang Hao just stands there and sighs, knowing this will be harder than he initially thought.
