Things Are Not What They Always Seem

Chapter I

Haneul P.O.V.

Ring!!!! Ring!!!! Ugh! I'm so tired. I slammed the top of my alarm clock. Why??? I'm so tired. My eyes could barely open.

I dragged myself out of bed and went in the bathroom and splashed face with water myself with water. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I walked into my closet and took out my uniform. I put on my uniform and a navy blue wool coat since it was quite cold today. I slung my backpack on my shoulders.

Then I grabbed my mint blue phone and stuffed it in my coat pocket.

What should I eat for breakfast today? I felt lazy so I just had two pieces of toast for breakfast. I mean I can cook since I was accustomed to living alone but sometimes I just don't feel like doing it.

Living alone isn't that bad when you're used to it. My parents were always busy and they never really cared about me anyways.

I'm actually rather glad I can't meet my parents often. I won't have to deal with them ever since I moved out. It's only lonely when you are accustomed with being others. It was better than being with my eomma though. No that woman. She is not my eomma. I never really had friends anyway but I'm fine with it. I was the person who was always fine with being alone.

I check my phone and school is about to start.

Dang it! 5 minutes before school starts!!!

I put on my socks quickly and slipped on my shoes. I ran out of my house or some people may call a mansion for a house for one person. My house has 7 guest rooms and it is big too.

I consider it big but there's no point of having such a big house if you're going to live by yourself. I tore down the streets and ran as fast as I can. I finally arrived at school and rushed in the school. There were crowds of people screaming but I ran past them. It was tiring also considering that I was tired to begin with. I ran down 5 blocks in record speed.

I arrived at school and sat down on my seat. Ring!!! Yes! I made it in a nick of time. It would've been bad if I arrived late at school on the first day of school.

There was ruckus in the hall. It was louder than normal but it had nothing to do with me anyways. The teacher came in and my gaze shifted to the front of the classroom.

There was someone unfamiliar next to the teacher. He was quite tall I suppose and he had big ears.

Like big big big ears.

It looked like I was near his face height and I was one of the tallest people in this class.

There's just one thing I'm upset about. I was the only person in this class that has an empty seat beside me and I wish that I could be like last year with no one next to me. I always didn't have a partner which made my life so much easier. I didn't have to deal with other person.

Well someone had to sit next to me if it wasn't him but I doubt that me staying by myself will ever happen. The teacher cleared her throat and then started speaking.

"Annesayo (Hello) my name is Miss Choi and this is new year. I hope I could get along with everyone and hopefully we will have great year. We have a new student this year. Please introduce yourself." Miss Choi said.

"Hello my name is Park Chanyeol and I hope we could have a great year today." He said.

There were a few murmurs and then they all clapped. So I'm guessing he was causing the screams in the hall. Thankfully there were only a few awestruck girls in this room and most of the class were boys.

" Mr. Park please sit next to... Kim Ha Neul."She said.

I knew it. He'll be sitting next to me. Some murmurs arose again. He walked down aisle and then he sat on the seat right next to me.
