Chapter 3

Truc

I'm not very good at making conversation with new people so I decided not to ask Hoseok questions and he did the same too.

I glanced over at him to get quick look at what he looks like. I could see that he had nice high cheekbones and his face was very long. 'He's pretty good looking' I thought to myself. I had realised I had been staring at him for too long when he turned to me and smiled. I quickly snapped my head forward and felt my cheeks heat up. I heard him chuckle and I instantly regretted looking at him.

When we reached the classroom, which I had felt like had been forever, I had realised we were late and I had forgotten to ask the teacher for a late slip.

"Shit," I mumbled to myself, knowing that this teacher, Ms. Lee, was going to roast us.

I walked in the classroom with Hoseok following behind me and I silently coughed to get the teacher's attention. I could see that some of my classmates were giving me apologetic looks and some girls were silently fangirling over the guy behind me. I silently cursed and looked up to see Ms. Lee looking at us whilst tapping her finger on the table waiting for our excuse.

"I had to help our new transfer student get to class," I said quietly.

"Ah, transfer student," she says and looks down at her roll book. "Jung Hoseok?"Hoseok nods and apologises for our lateness.

"You two can sit in the last spare seats in the back row," she says and points to the seats in the back.

We silently thank her and quickly sit down and get ready for class. I could hear some people in the class whispering about jealous they were for not being able to sit next to the 'hot new student' and some people saying how Ms. Lee didn't kill us just then.

Class went by quite quickly which I had been quite happy with. Hoseok and I went out of class together and started walking to the lunchroom. Since I was going to his guide I started to try and make conversation with him.

"So, how are you liking the school so far?" I said, mentally cringing at my awkwardness.

"It's alright I guess but to be honest the teachers here need to make their classes more interesting," he said.

"I know right. These teachers are shit at their jobs. What were teachers like at your old school?"

"They were pretty chill with work and they gave us pretty interesting topics for work."

"Ah, I see," nodding wishing that I could transfer there.

We reached the lunch room and I instantly looked around the place for my pink haired friend. I immediately found him reading a book at our usual table. He was always the star student and he was the perfect son anyone could ask for. I quickly walked over to him with Hoseok trailing behind me. We sat down and I sat next to Xiumin while Hoseok sat in front of us. I snatched the book from his hands. He looked up and glared at me.

"I was up to the good part of the chapter," he said and I glanced at the book cover realising that it was a romance novel.

"Romance?" I said and lifted my eyebrow at him.

"Shut up, can't a guy read a romance book for once," he said and rolled his eyes and snatched the book back and put it into his backpack.

"So how was class?" I said as I took the apple out of my bag and started to eat it.

"Eh, it was alright. These teachers like to drag on and on about random shit that we don't need to know about. Like seriously, all I ever hear are stories that will never help me in the future," he said as he started to ramble more about these teacher.

"Hoseok said his last teachers at his school were pretty chill," I said,trying to get Xiumin to remember that we had to someone else with us.

"Really? Why did you move then, if you don't mind me asking," he said.

"My dad's job got transferred here," he says.

"So, are you two dating?" Hoseok suddenly asks out of nowhere.

I suddenly choke on my apple and grab my water from my bag and take gulps out of it. 'What? Dating? Dating Xiumin? I wish' I thought. I mentally slapped myself for having stupid thoughts knowing he wouldn't feel the same.

"Nah, we're just friends," Xiumin says.

"Really? You two seem pretty close," Hoseok says.

"We've known each other for a pretty long time so that's why we seem so close," I say.

"She's like a little sister to me," Xiumin says and ruffles my hair.

I look and glare at him and not because of him ruffling my hair but what he just said. I instantly feel heartbroken that he thinks of me a as little sister. I know I shouldn't but I can't deny my feelings for him. I feel jealous each time he talks about another girl. I feel heartbroken every time he says to people that I'm like a sister to him. I don't want to confess because I already know how he feels and I don't want our friendship to be awkward. If only I knew how he felt.

"And he's like a big brother to me," I said as I linked our arms together to make us look like siblings. It hurts so much each time I do this. I can feel my heart slowly break every time I say this.
