1.

I was at school, sitting in my desk, drawing, as usual. I heard the door slide and my language teacher entered. We all greeted her and sat down, and I continued drawing.

"Class, we have a new student." She said. I didn't even raise my head to look. I didn't care. "Please welcome him."

The door opens and someone enters the room. All the girls were fangirling. All except me and my best friend, Minseo. Me and Minseo were like twins, except our family names were different, and she looked different.

"Hello, my name is Park Jimin." Right then I looked at him in shock. He looked, spoke, and had the same name as my old friend, Jimin. "I hope you'll treat me well." He smiles.

"You're very handsome!" Seohyeon, Minseo's sister yells.

"Okay, okay. Jimin, take that empty seat next to... Haneul." Ms. Junghee points to the seat next to me.

Minseo turns around to talk to me. "Haneul, isn't that the guy you were talking about, when you said he's your childhood friend?" Minseo whispers to me.

Jimin sits down and I continue talking to Minseo.

"I'm also wondering the same thing." I look at Jimin and back at her.

"Everyone calm down, stop talking." Ms. Junghee quiets down everyone and language class started.

I kept looking at Jimin. He looked ethereal...like an angel. So I took out another piece of paper and sketched out his side profile. I was surprised it looked like him, since most of my drawings came out looking a bit off.

Class ended and I had to go to the bathroom really quick. I took Minseo with me and left the sketch of Jimin on my desk. We made our way out of the crowd of girls surrounding Jimin and exited the classroom. We got to the bathroom and Minseo stopped me.

"Do you hear that?" She whispered. I listened carefully and there was sobbing from a bathroom stall. I ran to the bathroom stall and see Seohyeon all bruised up and her clothes were ripped.

"Hyeonnie! What happened?!" I kneeled down to her and hug her.

"T-they t-told me t-to s-s-stay aw-way fr-from Ji-Jimin." She stutters and hugs me back.

"WHO THE HELL DARED TO DO THIS TO MY SISTER?!" Minseo yelled and clenchd her fist.

"S-Subin, Yeo-Yeongja a-and Eun-nji." Sehyeon cries on my shoulder.

"THOSE BITCHES NEED TO PAY." Before I could say anything, Minseo stormed out of the bathroom with heavy and fast steps.

"Hyeonnie, let's get you cleaned and dressed in the gym uniform." I struggled to get her to stand up, but finally did so. I treated her bruises and changed her clothes, then helped her walk back to the classroom.

Minseo's POV.

I stormed out of the bathroom and power walked towards the classroom. When I entered, I saw Haneul's drawing being tossed arround the classroom by those spoiled rich brats who were laughing like some kindergarten children.

"YOU!" I yelled at the group of spoiled brats. "Give me that or I'll kick you in the knees!" I threatened them.

"Pft, you wouldn't dare to, you're not on our level. You're poor." A girl told me and continued to laugh and toss Haneul's drawing around. I had enough.

"I'd rather be poor instead of a bitch like you." The whole class laughed at her. Jimin snatched the drawing from that girl's hand and looked at it.

"You wrinkled the paper. Stop it." He looked at her dead in the eyes. She got intimidated and apologised. Jimin came at me and handed me the drawing. "Take care of it, it's pretty. It looks like me." He smiled.

Right then Haneul entered the classroom with Seohyeon. Hyeonnie was on Haneul's back and she looked tired.

"Give her to me!" I took Seohyeon and put her in her desk.

"What happened to her?" A boy asked.

"Your sweet Subin, Yeongja and Eunji beat the heck out of my sister because she told Jimin that he's handsome." I pointed at the three girls who were looking innocently at me.

"Handle them." He got out of the way. Almost everyone in that classroom knew how scary I could get when I'm angry, so they made place for me to move. Before I did anything to them, I gave Haneul her drawing.

"Haneul, that group of spoiled brats wrinkled your drawing, I'm sorry." I patted her head.

"It's fine." She smiled.

I smiled back and turned to the bitch trio who were now in front of me.

"What. Did. You. Do. To. My. Sister?" I asked and leaned towards them.

"Taught her a lesson for talking to Jimin-oppa." Subin, the head of the trio smiled at me.

I laughed and looked at her head to toe. "I'm sure you did Geography, but I'm not sure you learned that the world's not spinning for you and Jimin."

They made a disgusted face. "Tsk. Look at you. All you know is to scold people for doing the right thing."

"The right thing to do is to leave me, Haneul, and Seohyeon alone. If you want to end up with a broken limb, go ahead and try me." None of them replied, and instead sat down.

The whole class laughed at them and continued to do their things.

Jimin's POV.

That girl roasted the hell out of those mean girls. She was amazing how she could handle these situations. What shook me the most was that girl, Haneul. She looked and had the same name as my old middle school friend, Ahn Haneul.

At lunch, I took the opportunity to talk to her. I took my lunch and walked to her table, but these girls kept bugging me. They asked for my number. They kept asking for my number just until Haneul's friend came and shooed them away.

"Jimin, right?" She asked and looked up at me.

"Yeah." I smiled. We sat down at a table where it was just the two of us.

"Where's Haneul?" I asked, looking around the canteen.

"She went to the bathroom. She'll be here in like two minutes." She said and chewed on her instant noodles. I was playing with my food until it hit me.

"Hey, is Haneul's full name Ahn Haneul?" I looked up at Haneul's friend.

"Yesh, why'd yu ashk?" She replied, still chewing her noodles.

"I was just curious." I kept calm, but inside, I was crying of happiness because I finally met her again, after a long time.

"There shee ish" She said and pointed at Haneul who was walking towards us, waving. She sat down beside her friend and took out some rice.

"Why're you sitting here?" Haneul asked and took the chopsticks, then started eating.

Haneul's POV.

Jimin was sitting at me and Minseo's table. A bit weird, wasn't it? I sat down beside Minseo and took out my rice.

"Why're you sitting here?" I looked at Jimin and started to eat.

He leaned in until his chest was pressing against the edge of the table.

"After a long time...we finally meet again. Ahn Haneul." I choked on my rice.

"MWO?" I cleared my throat.

"You don't remember? We were classmates in elementary school. I'm Park Jimin..". He takes my hand.

I just stared at him, speechless.

"I missed you, Heaven."

This is the first chapter of this story, let me know what you think ❤️

P.S:
Haneul in Korean is Heaven, so that would make a nickname, right?
