part 1

taking a deep breath, hyejin stepped into a place she couldn't wait to leave. She didn't hate school. She just disliked the amount of hours it took out of her day. She still had her group of friends she could call family. The ones who took care of her when she was sick (which she was many times) and the ones that kept her motivated.

Hyejin saw the outlines of her friends down the hallway. She didnt have the greatest eyesight. And it didn't help she never wore her glasses. Contacts were never an option either, putting things in her eyes frightened her. When people would ask her why she put herself through so trouble not wearing them, she just shrugged and stated that it's uncomfortable wearing things on my face.

Slightly jogging down the hallway knowing that she only had only 5 minutes till classes started, reaching in her backpack she grabbed a pencil for her best friend Jiho. Jiho never kept a pencil for longer than a day, because she always lost them. It was surprising if she kept them for longer than 3 days even.

"Jiho have you finished the homework?" Hyejin smiled at her best friend knowing that she did lastnights homework. Jiho sighed once before saying "yeah but lets get to class so you can copy it." The pair were always late since Jiho waited for hyejin, who managed to be late even when she wakes up early.

The two walked into their class, class b, together and walked to heyjins seat in the back. hyejin shared a desk with "some guy named inseong" as hyejin would call him.

In the beginning of the year, their teacher made it an important topic to sit them away from eachother. "smart move" they thought at the time, but now they hate it. Their teacher would only tell them its for their own good, so they could actually learn things.

Class B had a teacher that was always late in the mornings, no one knew why, he just was. Therefore, the class would be hectic in the morning. Hyejin copied jihos homework until their teacher rushed in yelling a sorry for being late and put everything on his desk. Everyone rushed to their seat, Jiho even ran into a classmate, zuho, who looked pissed at her and sent her glares for the rest of the class. He hated her but she never knew why. Its not like she ever talked to him.

Right before the teacher started class, inseong came rushing into class, bowing to the teacher and rushing to his assigned seat. Quietly trying to catch his breath he looked over at hyejin to see what she was doing.

"Hey is that the homework? Mind if I copy?" Inseong was out with his friends late last night and he didn't even remember there was homework for this class. At least he had a better excuse than hyejin. She simply didn't feel like doing it.

Hyejin nodded and push the paper to his side of the desk watching the teacher to see if he would turn around from the board.

Hyejins 4th class had just ended, meaning break time. During break you could do whatever for an hour, as long as you didn't leave school property. You could study (which only a few did that), have a snack, sit in the school garden, play in the gym and more.

Hyejin and jiho usually studied, because it was the only time they were in the mood. I mean come on, who wants to study when they get home? After 45 minutes of studying jiho would want a snack so they would stop at the schools store and meet up with their friends in the cafeteria.

This was when hyejins day got a little bit better. She would get to hear someones voice. She fell in love with his laugh when she heard it the first week of school. She never knew why though. Its not like she fell in love with him, just his voice. She doesn't crush on people that easy. But every time jiho told her to talk to him she would say "I just like to look and listen to beautiful things"

The truth is, she was just nervous. She didnt know why though. Its not like she liked him or anything. But she would always stare. They even once made eye contact. She told jiho it was the best 5 seconds of her life and would go on about his eye smiles.

He had a friend group of 8 others. One just happened to be inseong. He would smile and make a face at her a few times which she would just raise her eyebrow and laugh at him. Of course zuho would notice and send glares to jiho. She would just hide behind one of their friends and drink her milk.

Hyejin would continue her day stealing glances at the boy she never knew the name of. She always somehow crossed paths with him. He would look at her then look away just as fast. She never thought he noticed her and she was right. He just knew her as someone inseong has class with.

Later that night hyejin actually did her homework. She sent a picture of her working on it to jiho stating that she was smart and didn't need jihos help. Where jiho just sent back a thank to the Lord for making her do the homework.

Hyejin just ate and apple for dinner that night. Thats all she was hungry for. Her parents and older brother work late and she didn't want to dirty any dishes. She wasn't complaining though. Hyejin was still close her to family. She just wished they didn't work so late. She can't control that though.

After taking a shower and getting ready for bed hyejin grabbed her phone telling her family that she was going to bed and for them to not be loud once they got home. She hated that they were so loud when they got home. Putting her Playlist on shuffle, she fell asleep at 9:30.
