CHANYEOL'S POV
"OMO! What happened to your eye?" Mom screeched as I entered through the front door. I looked at her and she sighed and told me to go upstairs and soak in a bathtub and relax a bit. I went to my room and rid myself of the garment and threw my body in the bathtub, half filled with lukewarm water. A tear streamed down my face as I remembered what took place. I closed my eyes and threw my head back, trying not to cry, then I heard the bathroom door peek open. "Hey there." She said softly and I knew immediately that it was Alissa. "Hi. What are you doing here?" I asked her. "I came over to check on you." She said, still softly. I was under the water, bubbles on top so she couldn't see anything. She slowly made her way inside and sat on the side of the tub beside my head and put an ice pack on my face. "Sssss ah." I hissed and scrunched my face like paper. She chuckled lowly. "Hushhh." She said and smiled at me. "So I see you're not the fancy type." She said to me. "I have no choice." I said back. She just made an ahh sound while looking around the bathroom and holding the ice pack on my face. "And where's your mom working?" She asked me. "If taking care of the house is a job then, here. But its self rewarding." I replied and she just shook her head and smiled. "Does she have any qualifications?" She asked. I looked at her with my eyebrows furrowed. "Why so many questions?" "Just answer." "Ok... she's an accountant. Used to work at the bank in Seoul that got burnt down not too long ago." She nodded and removed the ice pack. I signalled for her to leave and she did. I dried myself and dragged on my pj's and walked slumpily to my room and saw her looking at pictures and observing. I walked over to my bed and sat down then took out my homework. She sat there for about an hour in full silence and watched as I did my homework. What a weird girl. Later, mom came upstairs with a bowl of soup for me. Then accompanied Alissa downstairs maybe to offer her some? I don't know.

"Bye." I smiled at her as she left the house. I watched as she walked down the street, then in an instant she ran back up the streat and embraced me in a warm hug. "You're an awesome guy Chanyeol. Please continue to be awesome. And thanks for being my only real friend." She said before slowly pulling away and going back on her journey to her house. I closed the door and turned back inside. "You like her." My mom said. I looked at her with wide eyes. "Aniyo. She's nice tho." She just looked at me then walked away. Maybe I like her... but I don't know yet.

--NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL. ENGLISH CLASS--
"Good morning class. I know your previous teacher left so I'll be teaching for the rest of the year. My name is Kim Seokjin." The tall figure said as he stood and addressed the class. "This same set of students I believe are Mr. Park's chemistry students right?" He asked, and we answered yes. "Good, so there's a project I want you guys to do. Stay in the same pairs you were assigned to. I'll send the details via email tonight." He said. The lesson was good today. I want to excell in all areas. I have to get that scholarship. Life has to get better for us, I'm the only hope.

ALISSA'S POV
YES!!! I get to work with Chanyeol again. I don't know why but I feel so happy around him. I dropped him home as usual and went home. It was a great opportunity to invite Chanyeol over and work on the project. I freshened up and then told my maid to prepare the study room with English textbooks. I headed out, wearing a black shorts, black hoodie and a black converse and walked down the street to Chanyeol's house. I knocked three times before I got an answer. "Who is i- oh hey!" His masculine vibrato sounded in my ear as he recognized it was me. I smiled at him and walked in underneath his armpit. "So short." He teased and poked my side before shutting the door. "Hey. What brings you here?" His mom asked as she stepped into the living room. "English project. I want to go over it with him. Just waiting so he can come with me."
She smiled and returned to her business. I followed Chanyeol up to his room to get his books and shoes then we headed off to my house.
