Jake's alarm went off. He groaned and turned it off. His hair was a mess, he was still tired from a late photoshoot the night before.

As a child, Jake's dream was to be a model, when he told his parents this they sucked the fun out of it.

At the age of 12, he had his first photoshoot as a model for a kids' clothing brand, and from there he kept getting more and more offers. He feels like his parents only care about him because he brings in the money. He tries to make them proud by also getting good grades, he is the top of his class.

Jake got up and went to take a show a shower. When he finished he changed his clothes for school. He took his phone off the charger and checked the time, he sighed because he didn't wanna go back to school because it was his senior year he should be excited, but he wasn't because he'd be leaving his friend, Ni-ki, behind. Jake has know Ni-ki since he was a kid and now he's a freshman in high school and Jake's about to graduate. Jake grabbed his bag and went downstairs. He took the milk ou of the fridge and poured some milk into a bowl and heated it in the microwave, once it was done he poured some cereal and sat down. "Hey, son." His dad said as he fixed his watch on his hand, "Hey, Dad." Jake said as he ate his breakfast.

"Remember you have a photo shoot at 4:00pm." His mom said as she walked in, Jake nodded his head and finished eating his cereal before heading out the door. He waved his parents goodbye and left. He got in the car as his manager had just arrived. Once he arrived at school he got out of the car and saw his friend Ni-ki outside waiting for him. "Hey Ni-ki!"
"Hey, Jake! How was your summer vacation?" Ni-ki asked, "I would rather not talk about it." Jake says running his hand through his hair. "I'm gonna take that as a 'it didn't go well'?"  Ni-ki said patting his friend's back, "Barely got any time to enjoy it! My parents booked so many photoshoots. I'm so burned out, they've sucked all the fun out of this."

"At least you have your last photoshoot today, then you get a two-month break!" Ni-ki said enthusiastically. "Well, I guess. Come on let's go inside it looks like it's about to rain." Ni-ki nodded, following the older inside. As they reached inside, they headed to their lockers which were right next to each other. "I still can't believe you're graduating this year. You're gonna leave me behind." Ni-ki said, "Oh stop it we'll still hang out at your house. You'll always be my little buddy Ni-ki." Jake replied.

"Whatever. Oh, that reminds me I made a new friend at a dance camp in the summer!" He said. "Damn, I'm not even gone yet and you're already replacing me." Jake said wiping fake away tears, "Shut the fuck up." Ni-ki said, rolling his eyes.

Just then the bell rang for first period and they had to go to their homeroom class. Whe Jake reached to his class he sat down and sighed he didn't wanna be back in this hell hole. His friend Sunghoon walked in and sat next to him. "Jake! My friend! How was your summer?" Sunghoon asked as he sat down, "Same old same old." Jake sighed, "So..not good?" Sunghoon asked.
"Well, modeling was your dream." Sunghoon continued. "It was but my parents are taking the fun out of it. I'm not saying I wanna quit, I just wish they would get off my back."

"Welcome back to another successful year of school class!" Their homeroom teacher said as she walked in. "I hope everyone had a good summer. Since it's the first day back I'll let you guys catch up with each other." She said as she sat down behind her desk. Sunghoon and Jake spent the rest of homeroom talking until the bell rang for 2nd period. Jake had science class and Sunghoon had biology so they went their separate ways.

Jake entered the classroom and sat down. "Good morning class, hope you all had a good summer. We will be starting this year with a group project."

"Come on man, it's the first day of school!" One student yelled. "I will also be choosing the partners." The teacher continued and everyone booed. "Now I remember why I hate this class," Jake mumbled to himself.

The teacher announced everyone's partner until it came down to just Jake, he was the only one left and it looked like he would have to do this project on his own not that he was complaining. "Sim Jake you'll be partners with Lee Heeseung." The teacher suddenly announced.

"Lee Heeseung? Who the fuck is that?" Jake said to himself. Jake has never heard of or seen this guy before, "Hey I'm Heeseung." Jake looked up to see a tall red-haired guy standing in front of him. " Sim Jaeyun but can call me Jake." He replied. "Wait aren't you the captain of the basketball team?" Jake asked, "Yes I am. Aren't you a model?" Heeseung replied. "Yeah," Jake answered.

"I hope everyone got to know their partners. This project is gonna be about a topic that you choose from this hat." He said holding a hat, he went around the class and one person from the team chose a topic when it came to Jake his partner Heeseung chose the topic from the hat, "What did we get?" Jake asked,  Heeseung unfolded the piece of paper to see what topic they picked. "Astronomy?!" Heeseung exclaimed, "Exactly what about astronomy does this need to be about?" Jake asked raising his hand, "Anything it doesn't matter as long as it relates to astronomy." The teacher replied.

"That's very helpful," Heeseung mumbled as the bell rang for 3rd period. A few hours later it was lunch and Jake joined his friends at the table they usually sit at. "I hate science class," Jake said as he sat down. "Why?"  Ni-ki asked, "Cause this fucking man gave us a group project and we couldn't even choose partners he chose them for us. I got paired with some dude named Lee Heeseung. I mean I met him today but I've never met him before." Jake replied.

"Bro you don't know him? He's the top Basketball player in school." Jay said as he sat down which startled Ni-Ki "Bitch where the fuck did you spawn from." He said, "Hell." Jay responded, "Anyways we have to do this project about astronomy I'm gonna fucking scream." Jake said. Just then Heeseung came over to their table to tell Jake something. "Wanna talk about the project at your place or mine?" Heeseung asked, "Uhh you're place." Jake replied.

"Okay, what day works best for you?" Heeseung asked, "Uhm I have something to do after school so how about tomorrow after school?" Jake replied.

"Sounds great I'll wait for you after school and we'll walk to my place it's not that far from here," Heeseung said before walking away. Jake turned to his friends who were grinning at him, "What?" Jake asked tilting his head. "The hottest dude in school is your partner for a science project you're so lucky," Sunghoon said. "Whatever," Jake said
