the moment yeri stepped into the school gates the next day, she was greeted by seungkwan and his friends.
"hi yeri! how are you?" he asked politely.
"i'm fine, thank you," she replied just as politely, people wouldn't think that they're actually friends.
"oh by the way, i want to introduce my friends to you," he said.
one of them stepped up right after, giving yeri the brightest smile she had ever seen. "i'm lee seokmin, nice to meet you!"
she bowed her head a little, not knowing how to react since no one had ever walked up to her and spoke to her, other than the teachers.
"i'm soonyoung," the other guy said uninterestedly, earning a glare from seungkwan.
"sorry, he's just salty because the breakfast deal got sold out before he could get to the breakfast shop."
"seungkwan!" soonyoung punched seungkwan on the arm as seungkwan rolled his eyes at him.
"anyway, we'll leave you alone now," seungkwan said to her, giving her a little wave before walking away.
for that short ten minutes of her life, yeri actually felt happy to be alive.

"why are you so rude to her?" seungkwan scolded soonyoung as they walked away.
"she's just... ugh i don't know," soonyoung ruffed his hair. "i'm not doing it on purpose."
"yeah right, just because your crush likes seungkwan," seokmin pointed out, then he covered his mouth once he realised what he said.
"what? you like seulgi? oh my god."
"shut up seungkwan. i can't believe you rejected her for that bookworm," soonyoung said defensively.
"you say that one more time and i'll fight you," seungkwan threatened, raising his fist in front of soonyoung's face.
"what is so good about that girl?" soonyoung asked.
"everything, have you seen her face. it's so damn perfect."
"you have a weird taste, just saying," soonyoung said, putting his hands in his pants pocket and skipped away before seungkwan could punch him.
"don't worry about soonyoung, he's just being a dick," seokmin said.
"i'm surprised, can't you guys see how beautiful she is?" seungkwan said, biting his bottom lip as she waddled towards her seat awkwardly.
"i mean, she's not ugly."
"of course she's not. to me, she's the definition of perfection."
