Ah, the college life. The land of many many many opportunities. A fresh new start in life.
"50% examinations, 50% presentations," the lecturer said as Ten and Doyoung entered the class.
"Oh wow," Ten said softly to himself as he saw the class. "What a great start."
He then spotted someone to his liking. He looked at the girl and thought that she was gorgeous.
As the two stood there, the lecturer looked at them without a word, waiting for them to take their seat.
Ten had his eyes on the girl while Doyoung had his eyes on the other students and the lecturer.
All of the sudden, the lecturer screamed at them and Ten screamed too because he got shocked. "What are you doing? Get to your seat! I can't tolerate late comers," the lecturer said. "Again, let me repeat myself for the benefit of the two late comers."
Ten and Doyoung took a seat beside the girl that Ten had his eyes on - with Ten sitting in between Doyoung and the girl.
He wasn't paying attention to what the lecturer was saying and examined the items that the girl had. It was all very...UK-ish.
The girl spotted him and smiled. "Hi, I'm Yin."
She had this very beautiful British accent and Ten decided to play along.
"Hi, I'm Ten," Ten said in the most British accent he can. "Nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too," Yin said with a smile.
"It's an absolute pleasure to meet me," Ten said still speaking in his British accent. "Ain't it? An absolute pleasure," Ten said and looked at Doyoung - who didn't seem to like his fakeness.
Doyoung was speechless by him faking and just moved a few seats away from him.
"Okay, bruh, okay," Ten said trying not to feel offend or anything.
"Choi Sun Yin," the lecturer called out.
"Here," Yin said loud enough for the lecturer to hear her.
After mentioning a few names, Ten's name came out.
"Chittaphon Leechaiyapornkul."
"Present," Ten said with his British accent.
The lecturer looked at him feeling unamused with his accent.
"Yeah, it's me. I'm present. Right here," Ten said and pointed to himself. "In the flesh."
Doyoung face palmed himself a little and the lecturer just continued on with the names after trying to process the information that Ten has a British accent.
"Are you from England?" Yin asked Ten with a bright smile.
"Oh, lovely place," Ten replied.
"That's nice," Yin replied with a nod.
"It's so nice, it's brilliant," Ten said still not letting go of his fake British accent.
