"what is love?" (zhang hao)

chapter twenty-four

જ⁀➴ 

zhang hao and yurim were walking to the council room for their first weekly meeting of the semester. he had been appointed class president on his first day of school, to his upmost surprise. their previous class president had changed schools, and according to their teacher, zhang hao looked "more responsible than any guy in class" and "would help keep track of everything". her words, not mine. the council had decided to let everyone take a short break in the first week of the semester, due to all the administrative works everyone had to do.

"uhm, yurim. what would happen during council meetings?" hao asked, unsure about what would happen later.

"oh, nothing much. we'll probably discuss about what to do during the upcoming sports fair and dance competition," yurim shrugged as the peaceful silence shrouded the both of them.

"HEY!" someone said before tackling yurim. on her right, she could also see hao getting tackled too. it was none other than their sibling.

"yah, taesan. that scared me," yurim said as she massaged her shoulders.

"mei, why are you here?" hao questioned her as he stabalised himself.

"why? did you miss me that much?" mei teased.

"heck no. i was just curious," hao glared at mei.

"my teacher made me the class president along with some dude called shinyu. you too?"

"yeah. i don't know if it's a good thing or not."

"i don't really care to be honest."

"lets get going. the meeting starts in ten minutes," yurim said as they nodded and started walking. "oh, jaehyun and sungho! sorry i didn't see yall just now," she said apologetically.

"it's alright, let's get going?" jaehyun said as the group of six walked towards the room.

when the group stepped into the meeting room, or more like hall, they could see a handful of both university and highschool class presidents already waiting there. the room was really big, and it could fit everyone inside (there's like 2 class presidents per class and theres 3 classes per grade, plus theres a total of 11 grades there).

yurim knew that the meeting would be split into three different groups, firstly the class ones, then twos and lastly class threes. it was the arrangement they always used, otherwise it would be split between highschool and uni.

knowing that mei and hao wouldn't know what would happen, yurim decided to brief them. thankfully, the duo managed to understand.

"yurim-ah, where do we go?" mei asked yurim quietly, her face filled with confusion.

"oh, we'll have to wait for the six leaders. four of them are the school presidents while the two others are the secretaries. when we have our meeting, they'll be split evenly because they're each from different classes. like two of them are in class one, two in class two and last two in class three. it's a mix of uni and highschool leaders," yurim explained slowly as mei nodded slowly.

just then, three people entered the hall. 

"good afternoon guys. thank you for using your time here," a relatively tall girl said. she was dressed in between formal and baggy, which made her stand out, but also not too much. "since i'm sure some of you guys are new here, i will introduce myself. i'm kang minjin, and i'm from year four class one. i'm one of the two uni presidents. next to me are jeong mijeong and kim hyeonjae. i'll let them introduce themselves."

"hey guys! i'm jeong mijeong, and im in year three class two! i hope that we all can work well together!," a bubbly girl said. she was slightly shorter than mijeong, and still had baby fat in her cheeks.

"hi, i'm kim hyeonjae. i'm in year four class three," a rather serious guy said.

"we'll be splitting up into three different groups. it'll be class ones, class twos and class threes. meanwhile, we'll wait for the other three. they're still busy with some stuff," hyeonjae said.

suddenly, three pupils rushed into the hall, still panting after running.

"i swear to god hanbin. i will actually kill you," a girl who was the splitting image of hanbin said as she glared at hanbin.

"okay sis, chill out. we're in the hall right now," hanbin chuckled as he bowed at the three university leaders, the two others following suit.

"hey guys! i'm sung hanbin and i'm the highschool school president, and i'm from grade twelve class one. over here is sung haerin, and shes from grade twelve class two. and he's oh sion, from grade eleven class three," hanbin said as haerin waved at everyone.

"today we'll be discussing on what to do during the sport fest. if we have time, we can plan for the dance competition. now you guys can go to your respective rooms. the labels are outside the doors. classes one and two turn right after you exit the hall, and class three turn left. over there, you will find the respective classes," sion said as everyone started standing up and going to their respective classes.

"is there anyone you know that will be with us?" hao asked yurim as they made their way out of the hall.

"uh wait lemme think. oh yeah, there's taerae, hanbin, dohoon, mirae and minjin. there's also haesun. she's woonhak and dohoon's older half-sister. and jihoon, he's my cousin. there's jiayi who's renjun's younger sister, and jaehyun and kyungmi. they're both seriously tom and jerry in real life."

almost as if they were summoned, the two said people ran past them.

"yah! myung jaehyun, come here!"

"only if you can catch me first!" jaehyun teased as kyungmi chased after him.

hao leaned down to whisper to yurim. "are they always like this?" he asked curiously.

"yeah, they're both the class presidents of grade ten class one. also, they're parents are friends, so they're always stuck together," yurim explained to the zhang siblings.

"unnie!" someone called out behind them as yurim got attacked by a big bear hug by three people.

"who's this- jinseo, aein and yumi! it's great to see the three of you guys again," yurim beamed as she ruffled jinseo's hair. jinseo and aein were her juniors in visual arts, whereas yumi was in dance. 

"oh! hi sakuya!" yurim said softly to the young boy behind aein as he bowed shyly. he was her junior under the music department / club, and she was grouped with the four of them before in their respective clubs. (some projects the highschoolers get grouped up with university students).

"hey sis, kyungmin has extra dance practise later, and riwoo is busy later. can you pick him up? we live near them," taesan suddenly popped up out of nowhere.

"what the heck- okay fine," yurim said as she entered the class one room. "bye guys!" she said cheerily as the class twos waved back at her.
