"Yuri! Honestly, how many times do I have to call your name for you to respond." My best and probably the only friend began to get annoyed at my lack of concentration.
"Oh. Sorry Minju."
"What's wrong? You're not usually like this." Minju began to get worried.
"You know Seventeen, right?"
Minju nodded.
"Well, they are going to perform live nearby next Saturday, and I won two VIP tickets." I tried to explain, hoping that Minju would understand.
"I honestly have no idea why would you be so worried. This is a good thing, isn't it? If I were you, I would be jumping around and fangirling until the performance day."
"That's the thing, you're not me. They will probably think that I'm some kind of a freak." I explained further.
"Trust me, you'll be just fine. You just need to open up a little. Anyway, I'll be going home now. I know that you're definitely exited in your own way, but try to get some sleep tonight. Night." Minju smiled, as she made her way out.

Suddenly, a loud beeping sound woke me up. It took a while until I realized that the beeping sound was acutely my alarm clock.
"Oh no! I'll be late for college!" I got off my bed and got dressed as fast, as I could, and ran down stirs for breakfast.
"I'll be leaving now!" I shouted, as I finished my breakfast, hopping that someone would hear me.

"Good morning everyone." The teacher said, as he walked in.
"We will be having a new transfer student coming in today. Does anyone volunteer to help him on his first day?" The teacher asked.
"I volunteer Yuri!" Minju quickly stud up and shouted, pointing her finger at me.
"What?!" I asked.
"Well, at least we can be shore that she won't do anything stupid. Do you want to volunteer, Yuri?" The teacher smiled.
"Think about it, you can finally learn to open up a little and you can also make a new friend." Minju whispered.
"Y-yes!" I answered the teacher. "Wait, wait no!" I changed my mind quickly.
"Sorry Yuri, but you know the rules, only the first answer is accepted." The teacher smiled mischievously.
After that, the teacher opened the door and leaned out slightly. "Come in."
"Oh no! Not him, why does it have to be him!" I banged my head on the table, as a boy walked into the class.
"Introduce yourself, please, and you Yuri sit up properly."
(I'm begging please let this be some kind of misunderstanding, just don't say that name).
"Hi, everyone. I'm Wen Junhui. You can all call me Jun. Pleasure to meet you all." He introduced himself.
"Yuri! Stand up. Now!" The teacher raised his voice.
I stand up unwillingly.
"Yuri will show you around and will take care of you until you get used to the school." The teacher explained.
"You're on your own from now on." Minju smiled, as she got her stuff and left to the back sit.
"Please don't go." I felt tears showing in my eyes. Once again, I let my head fall onto the desk.
"What am I going to do? He will probably think I'm some kind of a freak." I murmured to myself.
"A freak? No, I don't think so. Actually, I think you're kind of cute." My eyes widen, as I lifted my head slightly.
(Did he over hear me.)
"Let's be friends, okay?" Jun extended his hand towards me.
(What should I do now. I can't possibly take his hand.)
Suddenly, he grabbed my hand, repeating himself again. "Let's be friends, okay?"
Seeing as I was unable to answer he smiled slightly. "Let's talk at break, okay?"
(I honestly don't know if I should call it a nightmare or a dream).

"Finally, it's break!" I heard Minju say excitedly.
"Minju. Wait for me." I quickly got up.
"Yuri, try to spend at least two weeks without my help. I bet, if you get forced to open up and make new friends, you will easily do that." Minju smiled.
"Okay." I sat down disappointed.
"Yuri don't forget, we are still friends, if you need help, just ask, okay?" Minju left the class.
Before, I knew it I and Jun, were the only left in the class.
"Can you please show me where's the cafeteria?" Jun brings his face closer to mine.
(What should I do? He's too close).
"It's just to the end of corridor to the left." I answer shyly.
"Why don't you show me? Let's walk together."
"Are you shore you want to walk with me? I'm not really a fun to be around person." I lowered my head.
"Believe me, I will be able to change that, just spend two weeks with me and you will become a confident person. I'll make sure of that." Jun smiles.
"But don't you have to rehearse for the performance?" I spoke without thinking.
"What?! You know me?"
"Yeah. I love seventeen and you are my bias." I said enthusiastically, without thinking about what I was saying.
Jun look at me and laughed a little, it was then when I realized what I have said.
"What?! Sorry, sorry." I panicked.
"No. no, don't worry." Jun patted my head gently.
"Come on. I'm hungry." Jun grabbed my hand and pulled me up, gesturing me to come.
I walked along with Jun, as he asked me to, until we got to the cafeteria.
I watched Jun take a sit at the right end of the room, as I sat at the front. Then I noticed Minju walking past.
"Minju. Come on sit with me for a while." I managed to stop her.
"So, how is it going?" Minju smiled as she took a sit in front of me.
"I honestly don't know. I can't say a word in front of him, but when I do, I say so many stupid things, that it's just unbelievable". I frowned.
"It's natural, after all you're in love."
"Am I?" I got surprised by Minju's words.
"So you are stupid after all." Minju laughed, and suddenly looked up and smiled.
"Come on Minju. Give her a break." I heard a familiar voice from behind me.
I quickly turned round to see who was standing behind me.
"Jun." My eyes widen.
