Lalisa recognized Mingyu as someone she had seen at the racetrack and asked, "Are you a student at Eke?"

Mingyu, unwilling to reveal his university student status, replied, "I'm here to enroll today. Which class are you in?"

Lalisa responded, "I'm in Class 4."

He believed that Lalisa was also a student, so he suggested, "I'm also assigned to Class 4. Shall we go in together?"

The two of them entered the classroom together, with Mingyu sharing anecdotes about himself along the way. He even mentioned how troublesome his father was and how he had been unexpectedly summoned back from abroad.

Upon entering the classroom, the form teacher approached them and asked,

"Miss Manobal, is this your first period?"

Lalisa confirmed, "Yes, according to the new class schedule."

The form teacher reviewed the schedule and quickly stepped down from the podium. Mingyu was astonished; he had never imagined that Lalisa, who appeared so youthful, was a teacher.

Lalisa then introduced Mingyu to the form teacher, saying, "This student has come to Class 4 for enrollment today."

The form teacher hurried over and said, "You must be Mingyu. The principal informed me of your arrival. Please find an available seat for now, and you can introduce yourself to the class during my lesson."

Mingyu promptly found an empty seat and settled down. Upon hearing the surname Jeon, Lalisa became slightly concerned. To gain admission to Eke at this time with the surname Jeon, it was likely that Mingyu had some connection to Jeon Jungkook.

However, Lalisa didn't dwell on it. She picked up her textbook and began teaching the students.

On the other hand, Yeri couldn't help but be curious about the newcomer, Mingyu. He stood out considerably among his classmates due to his remarkable good looks. Despite his youthful appearance, his demeanor was not childlike. He looked youthful and stylish in his t-shirt and ripped jeans, comparable only to Bambam in terms of looks.

Yeri knew that Eke High School typically didn't accept transfer students unless they had exceptional academic records or a strong family background, and Mingyu's apparent disinterest in academics suggested a privileged family background.

Mingyu still didn't know that Yeri was paying attention to him. He had placed all his attention on Lalisa. The way she stood on the podium and lectured was calm and elegant. It was completely different from the demeanor she displayed on the racing track.

Lalisa was aware of Mingyu's curiosity, but she understood it. After all, they had just met at the racing track yesterday, and today, they had unexpectedly reunited at school. It was natural for him to be curious about her.

After class, Lalisa left promptly. Mingyu pulled a classmate aside and asked, "Miss Manobal looks young."

Student A smiled and replied, "Certainly, she's young. Miss Manobal is about the same age as us."

Mingyu had initially thought that Lalisa was younger than him at the racetrack, but when he saw that she was a teacher, he assumed he was mistaken. He didn't expect that she was indeed younger than him.

He couldn't help but find it puzzling that Lalisa was a teacher at such a young age. "Don't you find it strange?" he asked.

"I did at first, but I got used to it," replied Student A. "Miss Manobal is very skilled at teaching. However, there's only one genius in the family. Yeri is Miss Manobal's sister, but her grades have been declining lately."
