JAE'S POV

What was that just now? That freshie got some balls to stand against me like that! I would make sure to make his life hell. He messed with the wrong guy.

'I heard a fresher called Jae unmanly'

'Is Jae gay? Why did that newbie asked him if he were a man?'

'I can't believe a junior labeled the campus king as unmasculine'

Since that incident weird rumors have been spreading around the college. And I swear I won't spare that brat. I hate the whole fucking existence of those third genders and now I am being called one.

"Jae? Are you alright?", Woo-Jin asked.

"That little bastard deserved to die in my hands, Woo-Jin, if only you hadn't stopped me back then! ", I cussed.

"And let you get suspended on your first day as President, right? Min-Jae your anger issues are severe. You already punched that guy infront of so many eyes. If you hit him badly, your position and honor as President would be at stake. I stopped you to avoid such situation."

He is right though. I have worked hard to obtain this prestigious position. If the situation went out of control, the authorities could have punished me and my position could be at risk. Not only as department's prez but also as the college prez.

"Woo-Jin, look into that guy and get me all the info on him."

"Noh In-Woo,
18 years old,
From Gangnam,
Living in 'Fortnight Apartment',
Single child,
No relationships,
Average Student,
State Level Basketball Champion,
Auditioned for few dramas,
This is all I could found Jae."

So he is into sports and dramatics.

"Make sure he auditions for Dramatics Society", I smirked.

To hell with you In-Woo! Just wait and watch what bullying actually is.

IN WOO'S POV

The seniors had left the room. Slowly the juniors vacated the room too.

"In-Woo, are you okay?", Soo-Jin ran quickly towards me.

I nodded. Woah! I created a scene on my first day in college.

The girl who danced earlier cried,"Why did you do that? Because of me you've become their target."

"It's not because of you. It's because I criticized them for being wrong. What they did was not at all tolerable at the first place."

"Thank you", tears were rolling down her eyes.

"Your jaw is bleeding. Let's go to the medical room first", Soo-Jin said.

"It's nothing serious. you guys go ahead. I just need some time alone."

They nodded in understandment and gave me some space to be alone.

My mother used to be a bar dancer. Whatever money she used to earn was the sole income for our family to survive. And by family, I mean the two of us. My dad had already left us long ago. He had an affair with my mother's best friend while I was just 2.

Why do people see dancing as an act of prostitution? I cannot stand such people. Dance is an art. Throwing money at that girl's face? Was that acceptable? Touching her while she danced? Was that acceptable?

I am proud of myself that I rose my voice against that unmanly act. And I am ready to face the consequences.

I touched my jaw and it stinged. Gosh, It doesn't seem to heal any time soon.

After fighting with myself since yesterday's incident, I finally came to a conclusion of attending the college. Why should I miss my classes because of those crazy seniors. Regardless, the heat would cool down in a week or so.

"Hey, fill out this form quickly", someone handed me a pamphlet.

It said 'DRAMA SOCIETY RECRUITMENT FORM' in bold capitals. All college societies recruit freshers every year. These societies help a person to grow, be social and build overall personality. Plus they are also beneficial for CV.

I went through the form. It asked about our favorite actors, movies, genre etc. Besides that it asked about our personal details.

There is nothing that excites me more than acting. Although I thought I wouldn't apply to any societies and focus on my academics. But this person walked to me with this 'drama society form', feels like destiny. So I am definitely choosing the Dramatics Society. I filled out the form and submitted it to that person.

After attending all the classes, I went to home. It's strange that I was afraid for absolutely no reason. I din't even run into those 'good for nothing' seniors.

I was scrolling through Instagram Reels when a message popped on my screen-
'Congratulations you have been shortlisted for the auditions of DramaSoc'

I immediately jumped in excitement after reading the message.

What will be the audition be like? How, when and where will it be conducted? Who will audition us?

After 10 minutes a notification rang. I quickly unlocked my phone to check what was it.

I was added in a group chat. It's name was ' Audition Round 1 For Freshers'.
All the details about the timings, venue etc. were shared here.

' Time : 10 A.M onwards
Venue : Auditorium
All students are requested to gather in the Auditorium by 9:45 A.M.'

"Hey, In-Woo where are you going?", Soo-Jin asked when I was packing up my bag after taking just one lecture.

"I have an audition", I answered.

"Which societies did you apply for?"

"The dramasoc & placement cell"

"Just two? I applied for almost 30 out of 40 societies", she giggled.

"When will you study godamnit?"

"Relax! There is 10% probability of my selection anyway."

"In-Woo your jaw is still red", Mi-Joo said.
Mi-Joo is the girl I stood in favor of that day. We only knew about each other's name in yesterday's class. Mi-Joo and Soo-Jin are almost besties in the span of two days.

"It's alright. It doesn't hurt anymore. I am going now. "

The audi was too huge & luxurious. There were so many participants.
I settled in an empty seat.

At sharp 10 A.M a group of seniors entered the hall. They all wore black T- shirts on which their names and positions of responsibility was printed.

Jun-hee (Joint Secretary)
Tae-Ho(Vice President)
Min-Jae (President)

My eyes quickly moved from the black T- shirt to its owner.

Jae? That asshole is a part of DramaSoc?
Wait that rings the bell. That day on bulletin board, I saw about him being the President of this and that. How could I forget? I am dead meat now.

"Welcome to the Round 1 of audition freshmen! You all will be called on the stage one by one and we seniors will give you an act to perform, based on which you will be qualified for second rou.........

I couldn't bother to hear about the audition, its rules and shit. The voices around me were fading gradually. My gaze was fixed at Jae. It felt like he was searching for something in the crowd. Out of nowhere, his eyes met mine.

He smirked and for no reason, it made my heart skip a beat. What the hell!
