"So, why did you move here, if I may ask?", Minho asked

They've been talking about each other on the way to class, basically trying to know each other. Minju had found out a lot about Minho, like the fact that he is called LeeKnow because they said that he knows everything, which kind of explains why he's the class president. Minho, too, had learnt a few things about Minju.

"Oh," Minju hesitated at first. Not that she never wanted to tell, it was just that it had left a big scar in her life. She was scared, she was traumatized in fact. She was afraid that if someone knew about it, people would made fun of her and her past life would be repeated again.

"Minju? Hey, it's fine if you don't want to tell me." Minho cut out the silence. "I suppose that was your privacy after all" 

Minju just kept her mouth shut afterwards. No, it's not that she didn't know what to say. She was lost in her thoughts. 'What if moving here was just useless? What if he founds her here? Or what if she gets bullied here too?'

"Can you introduce yourself, Minju?", the boy earlier called out her name. She didn't even realize that they had already arrived to class.

"Oh, uh" she stuttered, trying to put her words correctly into a sentence. "My name is Kim Minju. I came from Aurora High in Busan. Uh, I hope we can be good friends" It's as if I even made one.

Minho soon pointed to her seat, which was at the last 2 row from the back on the left. She walked to her table and sat down. Her seatmate was a girl and she seemed really nice which she was thankful for that.

"Hi, Minju!", she greeted her. "My name is Yeji! Hwang Yeji! I hope we can be good friends" she continued.

'Good friends?' she thought to herself. She never had a good friend before, a friend generally. Her ex so called friend cut ties with her all because she was ashamed to be friends with a victim of a bully. Crazy how a friend went to an enemy all for a stupid reason.

"Yeah, sure. I would love to" Minju smiled to her.

Class soon began and she started focusing on her studies. It was pretty tiring for Minju since she had to introduce herself to every teacher for each class, but she had fun with people being friendly towards her. 

It was finally the long awaited break time. Minju was about to go out with Yeji and her friends, but there he is, the Kim Mingyu.

"Sorry guys, I'm having a break with someone else. Maybe some other time?" Minju said to her new friends. One sighed and the rest just nod.

"Hi, baby Joo!" Mingyu greeted her with a big smile. She immediately hugged him since she always finds comfort in her brother. "What's wrong, Joo?" He asked, worried.

"Nothing, I'm just tired of class", she chuckled. They did got eyed by almost everyone since they didn't know about their relationship.  

They soon arrived to the cafeteria. Funny how when Minju thinks about it, why did her brother insisted in assisting her all the time.

"Oppa", she called him before taking a bite of her chocolate cake. "Don't you have any friends to be with instead of me?" she asked.

"You don't want me to company you for your first day?" he laughed

"Don't get me wrong. I do, but I was just weirded out by it" 

"Joo, I just don't want anyone to hurt you no more", He said. "Leaving you back then was a mistake, you know? If I knew that you would get treated that way, I wouldn't have left" he continued.

Minju swore to God that she would've cried hearing those words. He had said it so many times, but each time, it just hits differently.

"Gyu!" She said, pretending to cry. "Thank you though. Thank you for having my back always. I know I can always count on you". She continued to munch on her food while talking to her brother.
