It was just a normal day at Jae Won High school. Whatever normal was, that is. You take your seat, which was next to an empty space. However, that space was no longer going to be empty.

You were excited about the new transfer student. All you heard was that someone was coming, and most girls hoped it was a handsome guy.

"Good morning, Mi Jin!" You say to your best friend, as she put her bag on her desk.

"Ah.. Good morning, (F/n)!" Mi Jin replies, walking over to your desk, grabbing a chair and sitting next to you.

"Mi Jin, did you know that there was a transfer student coming?" You whisper, for no absolute reason.

"Yeah, I just hope he or she doesn't turn out to be like Yui.." She whispers back.

"I hope he or she is like Jae Yeol.." You mutter, under your breath and Mi Jin smiles.

"Are you still not over him?" Mi Jin asks, her chin resting on her hand.

"What are you talking about? I'm dating Jin Ho Bin!" You quickly reply, trying not to be heard by anyone.

"(F/n).. Do you actually love him?" Mi Jin asks, a but concerned.

"I d-don't kno-"

Just as you were about to reply, Mi Jin cuts you off. "I don't want that answer. It's either yes or no. (F/n), as a friend, I worry for you. To me, it seems like he's using you for his reputation and if you weren't this pretty, or had a body of a succubus, he'd never date you."

"Mi Jin.. P-Please.." You mumble, and break into tears. Yeah, Mi Jin was right. He was using you, however, it felt right.

Jin Ho Bin was violent to anyone, even you. He'd beat you up if you didn't listen to him, and he was always trying to have sex with you.

He'd always make you wear tight clothes or revealing ones, and keep you close to him. Whenever someone looked at you, he'd beat them up. The worst part was, Jae Yeol never noticed.

Jae Yeol, your ex and first boyfriend, would never notice you. Whenever you thought of it, you broke into tears.

The sound of your cries filled the classroom and everyone gather round to see why you, the most popular and good-looking person in the school, were crying.

"(F/n), what's wrong?"

"You need a tissue?"

"Who did this to you?"

"Mi Jin, tell us what happened."

Everyone gathers round. Everyone, except Jae Yeol.

Mi Jin pulls you close and hugged you. She wipes your tears and strokes your beautiful (h/l) (h/c) hair.

"Mi Jin.. I'm such a bad apple! That's probably why they all left me!" You sob, letting the emotions inside of yoy flow out in the form of tears.

They all left you. Your mother died a few years ago, along with your father. You had no relatives except for your older brother, who had no time for you. Jae Yeol had left you and the only people who you thought really cared were Mi Jin and Jin Ho Bin.

"(F/n).. They didn't leave you. They're still with you, watching you." Mi Jin attempts to comfort you and pulls you outside, away from everyone. "(F/n).. They still love you.." Mi Jin mutters.

Wrong. Your father sexually assaulted you. Your mother died from stress, anxiety and pressure. Your brother, who was 25, took over the family business* after your father commited suicide and ever since, he never had time for you.

"Mi Jin.. I want to die." You whisper into her ear, before she grabs your shoulders.

"(F/n)! Snap out of it!" She yells, and shakes you again and again. "Are you out of your mind? You still have pleaces to go, people to see! Imagine how hurt Jae Yeol would be if he saw your dead body, lying there?"

"Mi Jin.. Thanks." You mutter, as you wipe your tears away and walk into the classroom, as if nothing happened.

Then, you notice that Jae Yeol was gone. You look out the window, which was on the 4th floor, and realise that he was outside, smoking.

"I don't care. Why should I care?"  You think, and make your way back to your own desk.

Yui asks, not nicely but not in a harsh way, either. "You okay, now?" You simply reply with a weak nod and a fake smile plastered on your face.

"Okay class, we have a new student today." The teacher says, and a tall, handsome boy with black hair walks in.

"My name is Park Hyung Suk, nice to meet you." The boy says, politely.

"Woah.. Handsome"

"He's hot."

"I call dibs!"

"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

"He's so perfect.."

"Hyung Suk, you'll be sitting in between (L/n) (F/n) and Lee Jin Sung." The teacher says, pointing at the empty seat between you and Jin Sung, your frenemy.

"Ah, okay." Hyung Suk says and walks over to his desk, putting his bag on the table.

That's when Jae Yeol looked at you. Once, just once. For some reason, you felt butterflies in your stomach. This feeling, you hadn't felt it in a long time. You felt like you were going to vomit. No, this was wrong.

You could see that his cheeks were red and his lips had formed a frown. You quickly turned away and pretended to read your book. You take a glance and notice that Jae Yeol had fallen asleep on top of his books.

"So c-cute.."  You think to yourself and try to cover up the redness on your cheeks.

An hour later, a loud noise had snapped you back to reality.

"You tryin' to pick a fight with me?" Jin sung's voice.

"No, not at all." The new boys voice.

Jin Sung throws a punch at the new boy, who easily dodges.

"He dodged it?" Everyone starts speaking, and chaos was everywhere.

Then, a fist comes flying towards you.
