All The King's Monstas and All The King's Men

CHAPTER 2

~~~~

Woahhh.

With my suitcase in hand, I'm standing in front of THE most presitigious school ever here in Korea.

Good thing Ji Woo is with me. I look over at my best friend.

DAMN HE LOOKS GOOD. I look like I'm 12. What the heck.

"Hey, y- y- you ready?" I say to Ji Woo with more uncertainty in my voice than I wished to use.

He looks back at me and goes,

"Totally. We can get through this." He gives me a friendly half-hug to assure me that we'll be fine.

"Ka ja?" (Let's go) And with a nodding of understanding we walk into this new school with all the courage we could muster up.

Well, all that I could muster up. Ji Woo is exuberating so much confidence right now that it;s ridiculous.

As soon as the large double doors, behind us, shut close, we are instantly greeted by staff.

Two boys take our bags, one boy goes to the left hall and the other disappears down a hall to our right.

Fancyy.

"Welcome to Shinhwa." A girl greets Ji Woo and I with a smile but her eyes show that we should be intimidated. I conclude that she's a student as well because of her attire and the pretty obvious badge that says student council. haha.

"My name is Jessica and today I'll be your guide for getting settled into the campus." She flashes that smile of hers and looks us up and down.

More specifically to Ji Woo. Her eyes scan him as if he's the last slice of pizza in the box.

Um. Hello. I'm right here??

"Umm. Are we gonna start the tour or do you guys need a room?"

"Arraseo. Let's get started." She says regretfully.

We walk straight ahead from where we entered and and many twists and turns we stop.

"This is the banquet hall. We have meal here 3 times a day. Breakfast at 7 AM. Lunch at 1 PM. And then dinner at 7 PM."

WOW. Expected from the top school.

We leave right out of the door, then cross over to the door opposite of the banquet hall.

"This is the grand ballroom. It's especially used for special events like formals, meetings with politicians and the like. Everyone dresses formally to these events so it's a great change from your average school uniform."

She then led us down farther the hall and onto the outside of the main building.

"Here we have a garden, or more like a maze garden. Don't go in there unless you wanna get lost and be in trouble with the head mistress for getting lost in the first place."

As I stare out in complete awe, I hear Jessica's voice fade as I finally realize that they're leaving me. Still looking out at the garden, I quickly try to follow her voice but end up losing them.

*SIGH*

"She probably left me on purpose. I know her true intentions too well for someone I don't know." I say to myself.

"Now how do I get outta here?"

I walk through the garden and decide to explore what I can before Ji Woo can reject her and come back looking for me.

I look to my right and see the maze.

Feeling adventurous, I walk right in.

Who am I kidding, I practically run inside.

Earlier in my life, I'd learned online a way to escape mazes or to get to the middle of it all. And the strategy is to stick out my right hand and keep it placed on the wall and just follow along.

Though never have I done it myself, I wanted to try it. A first for everything starts at some point? So why not right now?

Challenging myself even more, I close my eyes and being my journey into the maze. Who doesn't like a good challenge?

After a while, maybe 5 minute into the maze, I walk slow and steady. Well, that is, until I trip onto something hard and fall down right on top of something. I scream as I land on top of the strange object.

"AISHHH, MWOYA. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" A boy's voice.

A thought immediately appears into my mind and I think,

IS HE CUTE THOUGH?

I look up enough to see his face, and woah he is definitely cute. But I don't think right now is a good time to flirt.

Looking down, I've fallen onto his lap.

"HAHAHA" He starts to laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" I'm starting to think that he might just be bipolar.

"Hey Ahjumma, nice granny panties."

I turn my head enough to finally spot my skirt up and out for everyone too see. Well, I mean not everyone to see, but the cute guy in front of me. But in my book, a cute guy, counts as 100 people. I'm just as embarassed as I woud be in front of that many people.

Standing up as fast as I can in the uncomfortable position I'm in, I hit his shoulder and say,

"Shut up!" With my pride on the line, I act as if I'm not flustered by it as much as he'd like it to.

Since he's still sitting I realize he was reading a book and must've fallen asleep, otherwise he would've seen me and had stopped me from falling right on top of him.

On his uniform, his name tag says, in all caps, KIHYUN.

With a turn, I turn as fiercely as I can to show I'm not one to mess with even if it's all just me bluffing.

With what is left of my pride I put my hand right back on the wall and follow it back to the entrance.

As I reach the entrance, I realize and stop in my tracks.

I just met Monsta X's Kihyun. Holy shit.

Now you guys have finally met Kihyun and he doesn't exactly have the best attitude. lol
