Luckily, Soojin didn't have to interact with the Brand New™ boys or whatever the hell they call themselves after lunch that day. But the day after that was another story.

Soojin entered their classroom for the first period a bit confidently. Today, she wouldn't struggle getting a seat because her teacher assigned them permanent ones, which Soojin was very thankful for. What a nice start to a potentially tolerable day.

Until she saw Kim Donghyun sitting on her chair. With Im Youngmin sitting on his lap.

On the bright side, Park Woojin is missing in action.

Still, Soojin has no idea what they're up to. And she has no interest on arguing with people this early in the morning.

"You're here!" Im Youngmin greeted when he saw her. He stood up and Donghyun followed suit.

Soojin walked past them and sat on her designated seat.

"We're Woojin's friends," Donghyun explained. "And obviously you know that because we're classmates. Anyway, yesterday was pretty embarrassing."

"We're here to tell you that Park Woojin's views and opinions does not in any way reflect ours," Youngmin added.

"Basically, sorry about that," Donghyun said sheepishly.

"It's fine," Soojin said. "How—who told you guys about it?"

Donghyun shrugged. "Word got around."

Soojin felt something suspicious about his answer but she brushed it off. She then got her phone from her bag to check for notifications on Twitter like she normally does while waiting for the teacher to arrive. There wasn't much happening considering it's like, 8 am, and her mutuals are probably asleep or doing something else halfway around the world. She turned it off and noticed that Donghyun and Youngmin were still in front of her.

"Is... there something you need?" she asked them. She isn't really trained to handle these types of situation.

Donghyun nudged Youngmin with his shoulder. The latter took something from his pocket and placed it on Soojin's desk. It was a choco pie.

"Oh," Soojin said, "you didn't have to."

"It's for the damage," Youngmin said. "Listen, I know Woojin came on a little strong but I swear he's a good guy."

"Okay."

"Also, if you don't mind, you and Hayun are having lunch with us later," Donghyun said.

"W-what?"

Their teacher arrived and everyone began to settle down in their seats, including Youngmin and Donghyun. Park Woojin entered after, hair disheveled.

"See you later!"
