Innocent | k.t.h

Confidence

"And you're done!" Seolyoung exclaimed proudly as she turned me around to face the mirror.

I stared in awe at my reflection.

My light brown hair was gone, it was replaced with a dark depressing black color that made my tan skin not match.

"Just one more moment, I'll apply makeup to your skin and face so you'll look more pale." She spoke once more before hurrying over to a makeup kit.

She hurried back and began to apply bb cream that was at least five shades lighter than my regular skin color to my face.

"I can tell that you're nervous, you'll be fine." Seolyoung reassured me as she must have saw the look of anguish and nervousness written on my face.

"I'm just- just nervous because I don't belong here. I'm not a monster like you all, I'm a regular human being who was supposedly sent here by a request from someone in this school." I stifled a sigh as she began to apply the bb cream to my neck.

"Don't worry, if you keep a low profile and don't have any encounters with Kim Taehyung and his group of friends, you'll be fine."

"Who is he anyways?"

She stopped applying the cream to my neck and looked up at me.

"A dangerous boy. He is from Seoul but he moved here for a unknown reason, but he is the one that's suspected to be the kidnapper of the girls around Daegu. I heard, that he has had a easy life but not sure why he changed."

Dangerous boy?

"You'll know it's him without even having to know what he looks like, he brings a dark aura when he enters a room or just simply walks."

After a few more moments of making me more pale, it was finally finished and I looked completely different.

"You look so good!" Seoulyoung exclaimed while clapping her hands.

I must admit, I did look good, but I did miss the way I used to originally look like.

A knock was heard from outside of the room and Seoulyoung excused herself to open the door.

There, stood Principal Gong. He nodded in approval once he saw my transformation and lead me to my new homeroom.

He opened up the door to the room and went in first. I waited outside for him to give me a signal to enter and introduce myself to my new classmates.

"Attention students, you have a new student that will be joining you from now on. Please be kind to her and help her around the school if she needs help." He spoke before briskly turning around to face me.

Giving me the signal, I slowly walked into class, my nervous getting the best of me.

"Annyeonghaseyo my name is Yang Haera and I am the new student. Please treat me well." I spoke while trying to sound as calm as I could while bowing.

Looking up, I saw that the students were staring at me intently, without blinking.

Then suddenly, they all smiled and applauded me.

"Nice to meet you Haera, I'll be your homeroom teacher and first period teacher, Mr. Han." The teacher spoke while smiling widely.

I must look like them, that's why they don't suspect me.

"There's an empty seat in the front of the class, you can sit next to Seungwan." He pointed to the desk directly in front of him and I noticed a girl sitting down next to it.

She smiled kindly while motioning for me to sit down next to her.

I guess they don't act like monsters.

As I sat down, she greeted me and gave me some advise about the school,

"Thank goodness you're a monster also! Finally a new student that isn't a human. Kim Taehyung won't be able to hurt you." She let out a sigh while still smiling.

Oh.

Widening my eyes, I stared in silence at her before letting out a nervous chuckle.

"Ugh yeah, totally." I remembered that my hair was in a bun and I couldn't use it as a shield so she would not be able to see my red face.

"I forgot to formally introduce myself, I'm Son Seungwan and I'm the lead vocalist in this school's choir."

"Nice to meet you Seungwan, I'm as you can see, Yang Haera the new student and I don't have any talented abilities." I bluntly spoke as I couldn't name a single talent of mine.

She started laughing, and I must say that her laugh is really adorable.

"Obviously you have a talent! You're in this school for being able to use some sort of magic or seduction."

If only I could do that.

"Anyways class, first period is done and now it's second period. Get ready for English with Mrs. Hwang." Mr. Han spoke before leaving the room.

An older female entered the room and stood before us. She took a long glance at me before smiling kindly.

Are they actually monsters? Because they seem so nice and I'm confused.
