i walked my way to the school happily. i greeted some familiar students along the hallway, showing them my bright smile. i bowed to some teachers i passed by. some people say that they really like my personality which is i'm outgoing but i don't really think i'm that friendly to the point i'm befriending everyonem that's just silly.
among all of my friends, there's this one bitch i consider as my twinnie A.K.A. my best friend, lee jihye.
i enter inside the classroom, seeing my classmates doing random things, and i went straightly to my seat beside jihye.
"hey eunjung, i've heard that there's a transferee in our class." jihye whispers, making me chuckle.
"i see. is it a gal or a guy?"
"they said it's a guy. gosh, i hope he's hot." she squealed and i just rolled my eyes. what a flirty ass.
our teacher came in with a guy, he's probably the transferee. well, i can say that he's pretty charming, he has squishy cheeks and his eyes are almost can't be seen because it's forming on a straight line. his brown hair suited his skin complexion. not bad, i really thought he would be like an old-fashioned nerd.
while jihye is busy whispering "he's so hot", the teacher asked him to introduce himself.
"hi, i'm park jimin. nice to see you all." he bowed his head a little bit. by just looking at him, he's probably shy.
"jimin, please take the seat over there." teacher pointed out a vacant seat far away from us. he seems interesting, i think i wanna talk to him soon.
our lesson started, i took a glance on him, just to see him jotting his notes down. i saw his seatmate whisper something to him but he never left any expression.
"snob." his seatmate rolled her eyes.
it's lunch break and i told jihye that i'm going to try to talk to the transferee because he's probably alone. i don't want him to feel that way, he should be comfortable around us.
"hey there, are you eating alone here inside the classroom?" i sat beside him, smiling, but he didn't dare to look at me, he just continue unpacking his lunch.
"can we be friends?" i fiddled my hands, getting a little shy because he's still ignoring me. "oh, you're not interested, right?" i chuckled, scratching the back of my head. still no response from him.
i see, so that's why his seatmate earlier said he's a snob. i thought of something ridiculous but i want to try it.
"jimin, marry me."
he stopped for a moment so i thought he's finally going to talk to me but he just continued on what he's doing. i know i look dumb already. wonder why does this guy keeps ignoring me when he's just new here. wasn't he supposed to be approachable since he's a transferee?
"what is your favorite color?" one last try. if he doesn't talk, then it's a goodbye.
still, i received nothing but the sound of him sipping his orange juice. "ah nice, mine's yellow." i answered my own question because he seems like he's not into talking to human beings.
i sighed heavily, "i can see already that you're not interested to talk but still, if you want someone to join you when it's lunch time, me and my friend jihye is just at the school canteen, you can just approach us. ah, by the way, my name's kang eunjung. nice to meet you park jimin, although i didn't hear a single word from you." i pat his head and went to the school canteen.
"so how was it talking to the hottie?" jihye asked excitingly.
"nah, he doesn't speak." i frowned.
"what? why? what do you mean he doesn't speak?"
i took a bite on my burger before speaking, "i tried talking to him but he didn't even dare to speak a single word. i think that's the first time i got ignored like that. i look so dumb."
"so do you hate him now?"
"nah, maybe he's just shy since he just transferred here." i said positively and as soon as we finished our lunch, we went back to our classroom.
girls have gathered around jimin, he looks very annoyed and unhappy. the girls keep asking him a lot of things but he just remain silent. i feel bad for him, he couldn't even talk to a single person, what more if he's surrounded by people like that?
"you're so quiet, do you even speak?"
"hey there, you seem to be noisy, huh?" my other classmate said sarcastically.
"we're not in the library so you can speak."
"speaking is not a crime, boy." the other one joked.
"don't tell me you're blind too?" they all laughed together.
"can you just speak a single word?"
"even with that handsome face, you're still useless."
"are you gay?"
"you got no jams."
i'm annoyed how they insulted him so i walked towards them with my arms crossed. "can you all just shut the fuck up?" they looked at me, some are mumbling, and some just left. "go." i said firmly, and the girls around him is finally out of his sight. jimin looked at me and i just smiled. i went back to my seat.
"oh my gosh, he doesn't really speak." jihye said.
"maybe he's like an introvert?" i said.
"yeah, maybe he really is. too bad."
"it's not that bad but i'll try to make him feel comfortable, especially around me."
