Chatter echos in the school corridor, you grip your backpack handles, the sound of your shoes echo slightly. You glance around at several pupils you pass by, very differently dressed to how you are, as many dress a lot less informally and a lot more casually. Baggy jeans, tshirts, trainers kind of style. This highly contrasts your shirt and brogues...

Your guide, Dong-woo, is quite tall, wearing a turtle neck sweater, with black trousers, accompanied by a black belt and smart black shoes. His hair, parted in the middle like a 'curtains' hairstyle, similar to Jimins hair in Dope. You also notice many girls swooning over him as you walk past them, some were also staring at you...

"I guess you hear from many people saying that school In Asian countries are a lot more demanding compared to those in, let's say, England or Europe in general." Dong-woo states. "But here's a little different, people must recognise that for some, spending 12 hours a day studying just doesn't work. Hence why this school was created, and its founder in 1972, Park Jin-woo had a vision to help support those who didn't want to have to be under the constant stress and pressure of education, to actually be able to live their childhood freely."

You smile in fascination, and delight as he speaks English really well.

He guides you to a classroom, where it's doors are wide open, some are sitting at their two seater desks which all face the front, facing a large chalk board with smudges on from the previous days lesson, as well as an intimidating teachers desk in front of the board. Some chatting amongst one another, huddled around one desk. Another sliding door at the front of the classroom, parallel with the one you're about to walk through.

There's a clear theme of groups in the class.

You have your populars, mainly consisting of pretty high maintenance girls, texting on their phones, or scrolling through Instagram, liking idols photos, also staring at the Jocks. Athletic boys, wearing their Phys Ed kit while sitting on their desks.

Very stereotypical. You tell yourself.

There's also just a large group of most of the rest of the class, it's kind of hard to categorise them, so they'd be classed as 'other'. There's also a few scattered amongst the class. Some sleeping on their desks, some quietly on their phones and some studying, their eyes twitching over the staccato of ruckus.

"Well, good luck, I'll take you in and quickly introduce you, but I've got to get to class or my homeroom teacher will kill me. First period is like a registration period." He leans closer to your ear. "RM says you make friends easily so don't worry."

Since when? You ask yourself.

"Hey! Quick, give me your phone number." He states. "If there's ever s problem, you can call me first."

That's actually a good point, so far, I only know that Dong-woo can speak English.

"Ok." You pull out your phone, unlock it, and show him your number. He takes it, and fills it in his contacts list, then hands it back.

"Ready?" He asks.

You return with a hesitant nod.

He guides you in the classroom and you gingerly enter. Clutching your backpack handles every tighter.

The classroom suddenly turns silent as you appear at the back of the classroom.

Everyone staring.

The popular girls mostly staring at Dong-woo, some glaring at you. More or less all the boys staring at you, even the ones who had previously fallen asleep, woke up and turned their attention to you.

"This is [Y/N]. She is starting here today, and is your new classmate. Please treat her well." Dong-woo smiles.

Some of the pupils look amongst each other and chatter in Korean.

"Once again, in our language please Dong-woo" one of the Jocks state. "Not all of us are English Fluent beauty boys are we?"

Dong-woo repeats it again in Korean.

"Want to introduce yourself?" He whispers, placing his hand on your shoulder, making you slightly flinch.

You gulp, and fidget slightly.

"Um..." you stutter. "Hi. My name is [Y/N]. I am from England."

You force a smile.

"You're hot!" One shouts, you're not exactly sure where it came from though.

You slightly blush.

"Ok! Now, please treat her with respect." He sighs.

The bell suddenly rings, everyone starts to walk to their seats.

"I've got to go. Good luck [Y/N]" he winks. He leaves the classroom, and you hear the slight sound of heal clinks down the corridor.

You turn to face the front of the classroom, and your teacher walks in through the other door at the front of the classroom.

"Ah! There you are!" (in Korean)

"Dong-woo was meant to take you to me so I could introduce you to the class, I guess he's already done so." He adds, in English. "Come to the front, I suppose we can give a proper introduction."

You slowly approach the front, being mindful of the desks and pupils you walk past, who have their eyes locked in a constant stare.

"You can call me Seonsaengnim." He smiles. "This is [Y/N]. Would you like to write your name in Korean on the board?" He passes you a piece of chalk which you hesitantly accept.

You bite your lip, and slowly approach the board, your back to the class. With the chalk, you write your name on the board. In English.

"Seonsaengnim, I don't think she knows Korean." One shouts from behind.

The class begins to laugh.

"What's a student who can't understand Korean doing in a Korean school?" One of the girls giggle.

"Alright enough." Your teacher yells. "[Y/N], you can sit... um... there."

He points towards a seat, which is sat to the left hand-side, middle row, right next to a window, overlooking the schools courtyard.

You slightly bow, and make your way over to the seat. You hear many mutter words under their breath.

You eventually reach your seat, and sit down. In front of you a student who fell asleep on his desk. Behind you, a typical Jock. And sharing your two seater table, a girl with long dark hair, long eyelashes, deep blue eyes, and a slim v shaped face.

Noticing that no one had taken their things out yet, you place your bag underneath your desk.

You feel your phone vibrate in your pocket.

Which reminds you:

I need to text Jungkook. I'll make sure to do it during break. You remind yourself.
