Park Jihoon

The morning had been a complete waste of time. I could have stayed home and watched TV or played video games, or visit Yuna to cheer her up, but instead, I'm stuck in school, having to study and no one to hold hands with or hug.

Yuna had caught a cold and so she had to stay home. I begged my mother to let me skip school to visit her but she opposed, telling me that my academics is important and essential if I ever wanted a job. Her good intentions quickly turned into a thirty-two minute long lecture, I pity myself.

I was at my locker, bored out of life, when I decided to head to the classroom early and just read a book.

I walked into the classroom and I saw Jaerin, Daehwi, and someone familiar.

"Daniel hyung? Is that you?" I asked the familiar looking figure in a black hoodie and ripped jeans.

"Jihoon? I hear you got a girlfriend," he said, nudging me.

"Yeah, I did. What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I'm here to bring some good news for Daehwi. And I have a piece of news for you too! I already told this sleepyhead about it a little while she was going to doze off," he said, looking at the girl who was already sleeping with her head resting on the table, and then flicking his finger on Jaerin's forehead.

"Ow~ I'm gonna get you for that!" She said as we laughed at the two, who were currently running around the classroom for ages.

"Stop it! Daniel hyung has something to say to us, you can have your little fight later!" Daehwi yelled teasingly.

"Fine," the two said in unison.

"Well, we might get a chance to participate in produce 101 season 2! Jisung hyung, Minhyun hyung, Jonghyun hyung, Minki hyung, Dongho hyung and many others have already been notified about it! I think your company will tell you soon! Well, for now, I have to go. Looks like your teacher's already here. Bye!" He said before dashing out of the classroom, after bowing his head to the teacher that had just come in.

Lee Jaerin

After another really boring period of Math, I stepped out of the classroom with my books in my hand, and my headphones on my head. Yerin was walking beside me and ranting about how complicated the new topic was, I listened to her even though my headphones were on as I didn't put it at a high volume.

"I don't understand! The square root mixed with algebra is just too complicated and difficult to grasp! I don't even know what the square root of 6724 is and it kept appearing in our worksheets! If this continues on, I'll fail math!" She ranted.

"82." I said while she looked at me confused.

"What?" She asked.

"The square root of 6724 is 82," I said simply with a straight face.

"Thanks. How on earth are you so smart? And why have I only seen you smile like only seven times? With that straight face of yours, I can see why you can stop people from bullying other students. And also, I haven't really seen you do many things so, I made a list for you," she said, handing me a piece of folded notebook paper.
