Episode 7

Upon arriving in the city, Phuwin and Dunk found themselves at the elite and luxurious dormitories of their college. The relief of securing a room together as roommates added a sense of comfort in the midst of their new urban environment.

Their transition to city life introduced them to a host of challenges. The academic pressures of their prestigious college demanded their full attention, and they quickly realized the competitive atmosphere that surrounded them. The fast-paced urban lifestyle required them to adapt swiftly to a world different from their small-town upbringing.

On their first day of college, Phuwin and Dunk made new friends, including Daniel, Ethan, Emma, and Lily. These friends shared their experiences, insights about the college, and a word of caution about certain individuals, Joong, Pond, and their gang. They warned the sisters to steer clear of these individuals, emphasizing the need to avoid any entanglements with Joong and Pond.

Taking heed of their new friends' advice, dunk and Phuwin made a mental note not to cross paths with Joong and Pond, recognizing the potential trouble they might bring. Their journey in the city had only just begun, and they were determined to navigate it with caution and wisdom.

In the art department,

Dunk felt a nervous flutter in his stomach as he entered the classroom, aware that he was one of the few students on a scholarship. The room was filled with students from privileged backgrounds, their designer clothes and confident demeanor setting them apart. he scanned the unfamiliar faces, hoping to find some common ground.

Just as dunk began to feel overwhelmed, her salvation arrived in the form of Ethen and Lily. They approached her with friendly smiles and introduced themselves, breaking the ice and easing her anxiety. Lily, with her warm and approachable demeanor, said, "Hey there! You must be dunk, right? I'm Lily, and this is Ethen. Don't worry; we're all in this together."

Ethen added, "Yeah, don't stress about it. We've got your back."

Their kindness immediately put Natasha at ease, and he felt a sense of camaraderie with her new friends. As the class began, the teacher assigned them an art project. Dunk was excited about the creative opportunity and focused intently on his work, determined to make the most of his college experience.

Unbeknownst to Dunk, a group of students, led by Joong and accompanied by Perth and Dew, entered the classroom. They exuded an air of entitlement, as if they owned the world. But Dunk was oblivious to their presence, his concentration solely on his studies.

Joong, with his characteristic air of arrogance, surveyed the classroom. "Well, well, look at this. A new face," he remarked, gesturing to Dunk, though he remained absorbed in his work.

Perth and Dew exchanged knowing glances, aware of Joong's propensity for games and power plays. They followed Joong's lead, ready to see how this new development would play out in the drama of their college life.

As Joong approached, Lily and Ethen exchanged subtle glances of warning, cautious about the attention dunk was now attracting.

In the business department,

Phuwin's nerves were on edge as he entered the empty classroom. The silence was deafening, and his anxious thoughts swirled in her mind. His initial feelings of unease grew as the minutes ticked by, and the classroom remained devoid of fellow students.

To his relief, Emma and Daniel soon entered the classroom, each with their own look of mild surprise. They exchanged greetings and learned that their class had been canceled due to the teacher's hospitalization. Phuwin, grateful for the company and not wanting to waste the day, agreed when Daniel suggested heading to the library. Emma nodded in agreement, and the trio made their way toward the campus library.

What they failed to notice was Pond, sitting at the back of the empty classroom with a girl named Naomi. Pond was engaged in a rather unenthusiastic conversation with Naomi, who was vying for his attention, her persistent attempts at winning him over evident.

In Pond's perspective, he pondered the situation:

"I was kissing this girl, Naomi, who seemed to be rather eager to date me. However, I wasn't one to settle down, and my attention span was fleeting. It was then that I noticed a new boy entering the classroom, his bewildered expression standing out. I couldn't deny that he was exceptionally beautiful, and I couldn't recall ever having seen him before. he must be a new student.

Before long, Emma and Daniel, whom I cheekily referred to as 'the nerds,' made their entrance, and through their conversation, I learned that the new boy's name was Phuwin. 'Nice name,' I thought.

Phuwin, along with the 'nerds,' left the classroom, leaving me alone with the clingy Naomi. As time passed, my interest waned, and I finally gave her a gentle push to get her to leave. I left the classroom and, ignoring her calls, continued on my own path."

As Pond left Naomi behind in the empty classroom, he had little interest in settling down and a penchant for pursuing the transient pleasures of college life. Phuwin, unknowingly, had crossed paths with him, setting the stage for future interactions, and the intricate web of college life continued to weave itself.
