3: Friend

The bell rang and the kind boy left me to my first class. I had to do normal education as well as my training so I had to do my normal lessons in the mornings. I had Maths first. What a way to start dream school. I came in so awkwardly. I looked behind me, the boy winked and waved goodbye. He WINKED. Seriously? Please don't tell me he's a flirty type. Shit.

I said good morning to the teacher and sat down in front of the class next to a broad-shouldered boy. He was rather quiet. I would speak to him, but I don't know what he's like so I didn't want to take a risk. Instead I said hi to a girl behind me, she looked happy. She spoke to me like we were best friends. I'm not sure if I wanted a clingy BFF though. What am I saying? I should be happy with any friends I end up with. Her name was Kashi.

Noting that determination I decided to talk to the guy next to me.

"Annyeong." I said. He must have not heard.

"Hiya." he suddenly realised he was alive and turned to look at me rather quickly.

"Hello." just that? Seriously? You don't even try to raise the conversation. I'm getting friends but there's always a problem. 

"Uhm, so how are you?" I want to advance this conversation. Maybe I can train this guy to be more talkative.

"I'm good." he looked at my questioning look and then said, "How about.. you?"

"I'm great, thank you. What year are you?" I asked, interested.

"I'm.. second year." he forgot what YEAR he is? Honestly..

"I'm a first year. Nice to meet you." I held out my hand for a handshake. He did shake it, but his grip was a bit, strong. I tried to loosen his grip. Nope. Maybe I should just forget the pain.

I laughed nervously because he wasn't letting go of my hand.

"You can- let go now." I said anxiously.

"Oh, araseo." he suddenly let go. I sighed.

"What's your name?"

"Kim Seokjin. Yours?" he suddenly had an interest in me.

"Areum. Areum Lee."

"I like your name. It means beauty doesn't it?"

"Yes." he was one of the only people who knew that. Oh shit. I just realised. I didn't ask flirty boy what his name was.

"Are you new?" he asked out of nowhere.

"Nae."

"Ah, okay. Consider me your brother. Call me Jin. That's what everyone else calls me." I was a bit surprised but I was satisfied. 

"Araseo oppa." we smiled at each other. 

"You must think I'm strange. Sorry, you remind me of my sister. So I-"

"Completely okay. Thank you, in fact." I said. I hoped he felt better..? He smiled, I could tell he was a good person.
