I was heavily inspired by the fiction called "Raw Line" so there are alot of similar references to it.

___________________________________________
New day, new place, an entirely new atmosphere. No one knows me, right?
I think to myself as I walk into the university I'll probably spend a few years in. I needed a fresh start after all that shit I've been through these few years. I walk through the gates, the soft wind touching my skin and singing a peaceful melody to my ears. I was at ease as it's been a while since I felt this relaxed. I hear the echo of voice laughing in the distance, maybe it'll be fun?
I think I spoke too soon.
I walk towards the notice board to find my class
As I was walking to class, a tall girl ran into me and we ended up falling on the floor. I hissed in pain as I open my eyes to look at the girl in front of me.
She had sharp features, bangs with blond highlights. She was wearing dark clothes and she shot me a smile
" Ayo I'm sorry I wasn't looking " she says as she helped my up. I looked at her and she said " I'm Bada, Lee Bada. Nice to meet you "
I realised that I was staring into her that I forgot to respond. I immediately snap back and respond " It's fine, I guess I wasn't paying attention too. I'm Ada, Kwon Ada. Nice to meet you too!" I smile at her.
Her lips curved into a small smile which immediately changed her appearance into someone sweeter.
"Kwon? Damn it's rare to see Asians here..can I like- get your number? Not that I li-" I laugh at her and she paused and let out a giggle " yea sure...I get it" you take her phone and put your number in and pass it back to her.
She types something and gives me call. I take my phone and check it " here's mine" she says and winks
"So I'll see you later?" She smile at me
" Yea, catch you later bada" I smile back and she continued to run back the way she came. I look at my phone and save her number
Bada Lee 🕶️
...................
I walk into my class to see people sitting in groups.
Not knowing where to sit, I walk up to a table and knock on it, hoping the group would turn their attention to me.
The blond haired boy turns around with a confused face " yea?" He asks me. His voice sounding calm and soft. I snap back and ask "umm..is anyone sitting here? If not can I?" He gives me the sweetest smile I've seen and it makes me smile back " no one's sitting here, sure you can take it." i thank him and take my place.
I take my phone out and open up my brothers contact. " Should I call him..?" I think to yourself.
I hit the green button and take the phone to my ears. "Soo... Your here?" Says a happy voice. I immediately calm down as all the nervousness leaves my body hearing his voice.
" Yea Soon, I'm here. Finally.." I sigh
"What's wrong? Is everything alright" he asks back. I hear the concern in his voice and hum back to him to asure him.
"I'm just nervous. What if I don't fit in? You know how things never work out for me." I hear a laugh continued by a sigh.
"This is different, your with people who share the same interests as you, your sitting in the room filled with arts and performances majors. You seriously think you'll be an outcast? People are gonna love you, trust me"
I smile at his convincing note and respond back " thanks Soonyoung, you have no idea how much that helped."
We both laugh on the line. "Plus, I'll always be here if you need me. One call and I'll just have to run a floor down"
I laugh at that sentence " I don't think I'll be needing it Soon, thanks tho" I said as a woman in her mid-30's entered the room.
"Okay I think my teacher is here, hit you later. Bye!" I cut the call and slip the phone into my bag.
Everyone goes back to they're seats and stand in they're places. The blond boy stands next to me and we exchange smiles again.
" Hello students, I'm Park Sandara. I'll be the teacher for the students majoring in arts and performances, which is basically everyone." She looks at everyone expecting something back.
"Not funny? Okay. " Everyone laughs at it and she laughs along.
" I won't be taking class today, instead I need everyone introduce yourselves. Let's start with the first row."
The black haired boy, a little shorter than the rest stand up " I'm Jimin, Park Jimin. And I've been doing contemporary dance for 7 to 8 years" he sits back. The girl next to him stands up " I'm Bada, Lee Bada " and sits back. Bada. The girl in the hallway. I look at the tall girl.
It slowly comes to me. Being nervous I get up and say "I'm Ada, Kwon Ada. I've been dancing for god-knows-how-long and I've won many competitions " I sit back down as everyone looked at me wide-eyed..
"Kwon Ada? Are you Kwon Hoshi's sister?" Asked the blond boy.
I thought to myself, who's Hoshi ?
Then I remembered my brother saying it now and then and nodded my head as I sat back.
The blond boy stood up " I'm Seo Myungho. I'm a street dancer" and he sits back. He fixed his hair as I look at him.
Damn. Street dancing.
And the entire class introduced themselves.
......................................
The bell rang as everyone got up from their seats.
" Be in time for tomorrow's class. I do not deal good with people skipping classes without a valid reason. Park Sandara out!" The teacher walks out as I get up to go out of class.
Suddenly a soft and calm voice calls my
" Hey Ada! You left your phone!" I turn around to see Myungho, the blond boy running towards me with my phone.
I smack my head at my own stupidity and walk towards him.
"Thanks, I wouldn't have survived without this.." he laughs at my response
I look back at him. His smile so pleasant I could go for days just looking at it and it'll give me so much peace.
" By the way.." he says as he clears his throat. He gave a sticky note with numbers written on it and written
THE8
I look back at him in confusion. He gives me the ' call me ' sign and runs off to his group.
"THE8 giving his number to the new girl. Damn." I turn around to see Bada.
She was smirking at me. " Why? Is he popular or something?" I asked her back. She laughed at my statement and I stared at her in pure confusion.
" Honey, your majoring in arts and performances. We're all popular." I rolled my eyes at her. "It's just that he's very conservative."
I looked at the tall girl " you know him?"
She looked down at me as if she was insulting my height and says " we studied in the same high school too. "
I nodded my head at her and looked forward only to see my brother walking towards me.
Everyone went silent and looked at him approaching me
" It's just that your brother's a teensy weensy bit more popular"
He comes and hugs me as my face plasters an expression of disgust.
" Awww Ada's all grown up now " he says . I suddenly remembered the blond boy- Myungho addressed him as Hoshi.
" Am I supposed to call you Soonyoung or Hoshi?" I whispered into his ears. He looks at me and says " Hoshi in public" I looked at him giving him a side-eye
" I'll explain when you start to understand " I sighed and realised how the entire hallway was staring at us.
" Yea dude, I think you can let go now."
He let's me go as I gasp for air. " Too tight? Sorry..." He giggles.
"Welcome to this undying battle Ada. The only thing that matters here, is devotion "
