"Please pass up your homework from this past weekend."

Oh my God, that's what I forgot to do. Jung Jihye, how could you forget to do homework?! You're a straight A student!

I sighed and proceeded to lightly bang my forehead on my desk.

"Did you forget to do homework?"

I glanced to my left and saw a boy looking into my eyes. I looked at his nametag.

'Kim Hyunjong'

"Yeah..."

"Here, take this," he said, handing me papers from his bag. "Put your name on it and turn it in."

I looked from him to his hand with the papers and back at him.

"Take it."

"I can't, it's your work."

"No, it's okay. I make a second copy of my work if I have the time to do so, in case I lose the original. I rephrase everything for fun on the second one. Therefore, you do not have to worry about plagiarism."

I stared at him and he stared at me.

His eyes are nice, but uh... He just makes two copies and rephrases his homework for fun?

"Please don't think I don't have a life, because I do. I used to lose my homework often," he simply stated, turning away from me to take out a pen. I watched him write 'Jung Jihye' at the top of the paper. He then put his assignment on top of 'mine' and passed it up.

"But your handwriting!"

"Did you not see that it was typed? Plus, I didn't use my own handwriting to write your name. I tried my absolute best to write neater than my own since you seem like the type of girl that would have really neat handwriting."

Why...? Now I owe this guy.

"Remember to do homework everyday! And if you're thinking about how to repay me, how about lunch together later today?"

"I didn't want to use your work, though."

"It's better than taking a zero, right?"

I opened my mouth to say more, but ended up agreeing to his statement.

"Out of all the things I can do for you in return, why lunch? Aish, you're ridiculously tall," I asked, having to look up to him next to me while we were waiting in line.

"Since you're new here, I wanted to be friends with you. So, we're friends now! Also, one hundred eighty-four centimeters isn't that tall. You're just small," he replied and patted my head. "Your height is cute."


"Ah, we haven't formally introduced ourselves yet. I'm Jung Jihye."

"I'm Kim Hyunjong. Nice to meet you~"

Eventually, we finally got lunch and sat down until another boy came. He took a seat next to Hyunjong.

"Hey Minhyukie~ This is Jung Jihye, the new girl in our class."

"Oh, really? Annyeonghaseyo, Park Minhyuk imnida," he greeted, smiling widely.

Another Minhyuk? Cool.

I slightly bowed in my seat and smiled back.

My phone vibrated and a text from Kihyun popped up on the screen.

Kihyun: You're making a lot of guy friends already. Why don't you make some girl friends?

I softly laughed and looked around to find him at another table looking our way.
