Little Miss Perfect.

SUNGMIN ;; 3

SOONYOUNG'S POV: (this part is just a chunk of last chapter btw up until sungmins pov..)

I don't exactly know why I try to ship others when I can't even find a single love interest of my own, however. I get the nickname "cupid" a whole lot because I've shipped people together and later on, they've gotten together for some odd reason. It's stupid because they only found out about me from Sungmin. Hey, he's popular and I'm glad for him but I sometimes kind of want to be my own person and not known as Sungmin's ninth grader friend or cupid. It gets boring whenever people walk up to you and ask you to ship them with their crush in hopes to get asked out by them in a couple weeks. It's been a very busy one since everyone is looking for a date to prom which is in four months I have to mention. Even if it's so far away, people still try so soon. I don't get it honestly! I don't know if I'm even going to prom. I don't have a date, nor do I plan to have one.

Yeah, I could probably just go with one of my friends and have it be a platonic kind of date but I'm pretty sure everyone in my friend group and including my friends outside of my group is planning to find a date. I can't go against that though. It's their life, not mine. Sungmin is most definitely going to have a date, his too popular to not. Jongin is probably going to too. Maybe with Yeorin as friends. Chaeyoon is definitely someone that would be kind enough to go with me as friends but Sungmin would hate that idea. Probably because he doesn't want Chaeyoon to be taken advantage of or whatever, but I get it.

He's just overprotective, just a tiny bit. I don't care either way. Come to think of it though, I wonder if Chaeyoon is even going to go to prom. She always seemed to reserved and quiet to go, honestly. Her personality changed just a bit when we found out she was an influencer though, it should've been obvious because Sungmin always @s her in pictures or videos she's in. Which to be honest, I'm surprised I didn't even bother to check out her page. She has a shit load of followers. 545.2K followers is a whole lot.

I feel like I'm kind of talking about this too much.. like, I don't think this is something I should be jealous of. I feel something though. It's either me not being able to find a date for prom or me being jealous of Sungmin and Chaeyoon for being these perfect twins with a perfect life. I might be thinking about this a bit too deep and much more than I should, but you can't blame me for having feelings! Everyone has feelings. Even Sungmin and Chaeyoon even if they only show happiness and basically everything everyone wants as emotions. This is too much.

Anyway, I wonder how the transfer student is doing..

SUNGMIN'S POV: (ok so i literally just picked up this chapter after weeks on end of not adding onto this because I had absolutely no brainpower to write 😭😭)
ps: sungmin isnt the transfer student

I walked through the slowly clearing halls as everyone started to make their way to their classes. I was a bit silent; I can say that myself. There's just something on my mind.. something that doesn't sit right with me. I know this is random to think since nothing really happened in order to trigger this thought but its genuinely bothering me to keep it all in. The school year barely started and I'm already feeling like something's going to happen. Yeah, I have and had a really good school reputation since my first year here but is it really worth it? I spend so much time being cautious to make sure my reputation doesn't get fully blown that it's actually starting to affect my academics and mental health. I don't know how to get past this. I already built up so much in my high school curriculum that it isn't possible to just drop it. I'm getting tired of all of those girls being all over me..

I really don't know what to do anymore. I kind of wish I could be more like my sister, honestly. She's this perfect ball of sunshine while I'm a lot less. I wish my parents were a touch bit more fair whenever it came to—actually. I'll just stop thinking about that for now.

I finally get into the classroom which I despise the most, Mathematics. I take my seat at the front of the class next to Soonyoung since he's this little exceptional 9th grade baby that got into an 11th grade math class. God, sometimes I wonder how he got here with such a dumb, goldfish brain like his. Like, it was already hard for me to get into this 11th grade class as a 10th grader, how did he get in when he doesn't even know what the fuck an acute angle is half of the time?

"Soonyoung-ah," I cooed as I tapped his shoulder gently, turning my head the slightest bit.

He looked over at me with his soft, brown eyes. Sometimes I wonder if he's forcing it. "What do you want, hyung?" Who did this child think he was? Talking to me like I was younger than him.. Anygay, "Uhm, rude, don't you think? Anyway, how are you doing on this fine morning?" I asked as I took out my notebook and other essentials for this dreadful class I have on that ugly schedule paper.

"I'm okay, I guess. Excluding the fact that Yeorin 누나 gave me a big scolding earlier." ("I'm okay, I guess. Excluding the fact that Yeorin noona gave me a big scolding earlier.") Soonyoung huffed in annoyance while setting a fresh pen on his oak wood desk. "그건 적어도 좋아, 자기야." ("That's good at least, sweetie.") I almost burst out into fucking laughter when I heard myself call Soonyoung 'sweetie.' That's something I never thought I would say to shit.

Who could blame me, though? Soonyoung is an absolute sweetheart besides his personality flaws. Which there's a list of. He can't really be described as perfect because he isn't. I'm not. No one is. Stupid.

Me and Soonyoung didn't bother to talk to each other after that short interaction. We don't really have to talk much anymore now that we're closer. We just kind of drifted apart after I graduated from secondary school and he was still stuck with a year left of it. When I was in secondary, I wasn't as popular as now. I was probably only grade level known. After I went to high school a lot of things changed in between me and Soonyoung, honestly. I don't know how to explain that I don't have aby remorse for leaving him behind although. But I like having him back. He can be a bit annoying however..

Like honestly, I always wonder why Soonyoung was such a brat sometimes. Yeorin has to basically parent this kid at school due to the fact he can't look after himself. I wish he was a bit more responsible with his life so we wouldn't have to worry about him every second of our lives outside and inside of the school campus. He also has such a reputation to hold up already. Probably a huge chunk of it is coming from being friends with such popular people. I wonder how he did it, honestly. Soonyoung is probably and will be the only friend I will have outside of my year. It would be such a shame if all of it came to an end before he gets to his junior year or even before he finishes his freshmen year.

Not like I would ruin it or anything—If he doesn't get in the way.
