Lost Time

Chapter 1 - School

One rainy, and gloomy day, the bell for Yeongnam High School rang, signalling the start of lunch. The students, mostly hungry, and the others bored, headed to the cafeteria. If cafeteria was even the right term to call a three-storey building that serves 5-star dishes to students.

"Babe, let's go to the cafeteria already." Dongwoon cooed.

"I'm just fixing my things, babe." the girl said.

So, you might be wondering, who's the girl? Well, I don't know. Even Dongwoon himself doesn't know. I mean, almost every day, he has a new girl hooking her arms onto his. He doesn't even bother to remember their names as he would just dump them the next day.

So, who is, Son Dongwoon? First off, he's the son of Son Jinwoo, the owner of various prestigious schools all over Asia, giving him money enough to feed even the population of Seoul! His looks? Heck. He could pull of modelling just by standing freely. Son Dongwoon is the best example of what you would call a casanova. You won't even wonder if his motto is "New day, new girl". He's not that smart if compared to the other students on the campus, but the unimaginable grades he has were no mystery to the other students, being the school's principal-slash-owner's son and all that.

Dongwoon is the type of guy to do anything, and I mean anything, just to keep his precious Ferrari 458 Italia and of course, his allowance. If he loses both, or even one of those, he wouldn't know what to do; he was already too used to the life where almost everything was done for him.

After Dongwoon picked up the girl from her homeroom, they somehow ended up in the girl's restroom.

"Babe, you done yet?" Dongwoon asked with a hint of irritation in his voice.

"I'm just touching up!" the girl, Dongwoon later identified as Claire through her nametag, shouted from the restroom.

'WHY THE HELL DO GIRLS NEED TO TOUCH UP EVERY FIVE MINUTES OR SO?! LUNCH BREAK WILL ALREADY BE OVER BY THE TIME SHE COMES OUT!' Dongwoon was shouting in his mind.

After waiting for what felt like 5 years, Claire finally comes out.

"Let's go" Claire enthusiastically said, while hooking her arm with Dongwoon's.

'Enjoy it while it lasts, because you're going to expire the next day- or maybe hour' Dongwoon thought.

It was still raining, they need an umbrella. Unfortunately, they were oblivious from the fact, and it was either they run under the rain to the cafeteria getting wet, or wait until the rain subsides risking missing lunch.

"It's raining." Dongwoon groaned. Then, he sees another student that just crossed.

"You! Give me your umbrella!" Dongwoon demanded. And being known as the Principal's son, the student almost immediately gave her umbrella.

Reaching the cafeteria, Dongwoon quickly searches for his friends.

"Hyungs!" Dongwoon ran to his group of friends, forgetting the girl he had just been with. So, how many hours were they together for? 5.

"Dongwoon, is that person with you?" Hyunseung questioned, pointing to the girl holding an umbrella on the other side of the room.

"Hey! We're over!"Dongwoon shouted. "Not anymore, hyung." He said smiling innocently.

The four people sitting only managed to let out a sigh, as they were already used to their maknae's actions.

"You wouldn't believe how much time it took for her to lather powder on her face." Dongwoon complained to his friends.
