I Hate Him (under editing)

The meet

 Eunji jogs down the stairs, slipping her phone into her bag.

"Eunji, come have breakfast," her mother calls from the dining table.

"I'm not hungry," she replies without stopping.

"But—"

"Come on," Mr. Park interrupts. "It's tasty. No excuses."

Eunji lets out a deep sigh. "Fine."

She sits down, takes a few quick bites, and gets up just as fast.

Outside ---

Throwing her bag over her shoulder, Eunji rushes toward her car. But the second she sees the flat tire, she groans.

"Ugh, really? Now?" She glances at her watch. "I'm already late!"

Mr. Park steps outside, noticing her distress. "What happened? Puncture?" He shakes his head. "Come on, let me drop you."

"Don't worry about me, Dad. I'll just take a cab."

"No need for that," he insists, unlocking his car. "Get in."

Reluctantly, she does.

_______

Mr. Park glances at her while driving. "How's college?"

Silence.

"Any problems?"

"No," Eunji replies, staring out the window.

Ten minutes later, they arrive. Without saying goodbye, she steps out of the car and heads toward the entrance. 

Seo Joon watches her for a moment before driving off to his company.

Waiting outside are her two closest friends.

Choi Soo Young – Her classmate, loud, and the one who always drags Eunji into things.Kang Ji Woo – In another class but just as persistent.

soo young – "finally you are here. Why were you late? We were waiting for you."

Ji woo –"yeah, you are usually earlier than us."

Eunji – "my car tire got punctured."

Soo young – "ok"

Eunji – "let's go."

Soo young and ji woo – "okay."

LUNCH BREAK.

Soo young – guys I am so hungry let's go ....

Ji woo – yeah let's go.

Eunji – I am not hungry.

soo young –still you have to come

After taking their food, they were heading to the table but suddenly Eunji bumps into someone.

"Oh, sorry," she mutters, not even bothering to look up.

"It's okay," the guy responds casually.

Without a second glance, she walks past him.

Soo Young gasps dramatically. "Oh. My. God."

Eunji raises an eyebrow. "What?"

Ji Woo leans in. "Do you even know who that was?"

Eunji blinks. "Who?"

Soo Young gestures toward the guy she bumped into. "That was Kim Taehyung. The school's topper."

Eunji shrugs. "So am I."

Ji Woo grins. "Yeah, but girls are crazy for him."

Eunji rolls her eyes. "So?"

Ji Woo giggles. "Have you ever even seen him—"

"Are you two done?" Eunji interrupts. "We still have to go to the library."

Soo Young and Ji Woo exchange glances but drop the subject.

Other side

Woo Sik asks Taehyung. "Did you even see her?"

"Who?" Taehyung asks, chewing his food.

"The girl you just bumped into!"

Taehyung shakes his head. "Nope."

Woo Sik sighs. "That was Park Eunji. Top of the class. Super cold. Talks to no one except her two friends."

Taehyung finally looks up, spotting her at the far end of the canteen. "She's pretty, I guess. But so what?"

Woo Sik shrugs. "I wish I could talk to her."

Taehyung smirks. "Oh? You like her?"

"Not like that! I just... want to see if she'd even reply."

Taehyung stretches. "I'll handle it. She's like every other girl who wants to talk to me."

Woo Sik shakes his head. "No, she's different."

And somehow, that makes Taehyung more interested.
