𝓗eejin settled into one of the plush seats in the school auditorium, eagerly scanning the room in search of Woobin.

It was the day of the school choir club's practice session, and Woobin had invited her to watch.

Heejin had promised him that she would be there on her first day of school.

Before long, Woobin emerged from behind the stage, exuding confidence as he took his position at the center.

The practice session began, and Heejin watched with pride as Woobin showcased his musical talents.

Despite the challenges he had faced as a child from a lower-income family, it was heartwarming to see him pursuing his dreams as a musician.

Heejin couldn't help but acknowledge the role that connections had played in granting Woobin the opportunity to study at a prestigious school like LUVITY High.

Lost in her thoughts, Heejin was suddenly brought back to reality when a figure approached her, casting a shadow over her seat.

She looked up and found herself face to face with a boy, his silver hair slightly tousled, and a warm smile gracing his lips.

Heejin's mind went blank, captivated by his striking beauty up close.

"Oh...?" she managed to utter, her voice tinged with surprise and awe.

Heejin vaguely remembered him from the entrance ceremony. He was one of the student representatives of the Student Council. She struggled to recall his name, her memories feeling hazy.

"Kang Minhee," a voice chimed in, and Heejin's eyes widened.

That's right, his name was Kang Minhee!

Minhee mentally scolded herself for momentarily forgetting.

"Oh, Ruby, done with practice?" Minhee turned his gaze towards the front of the auditorium, where Woobin was already finishing up with the club's dispersal.

Woobin approached them, flashing a warm smile at Heejin before redirecting his attention to Minhee.

Curiosity laced his voice as he inquired, "Why are you here?"

Minhee, with his silver hair shimmering under the auditorium lights, exuded an air of effortless charm as he responded, his voice laced with amusement. "Ah, I've come to retrieve the club member recruitment forms.

A soft sigh escaped Woobin's lips as he reached into his bag, located beside Heejin's seat, retrieving the coveted forms. He held them out to Minhee, their fingertips briefly brushing in the exchange.

"I must say, you truly go above and beyond," Woobin remarked, a hint of exasperation mingling with fondness in his voice. "There was no need for you to go through the trouble."

Minhee's smile widened, his eyes crinkling into crescents as he quipped, "Well, perhaps you should direct that sentiment to Prez. He incessantly badgered me about it all day long."

Heejin's ears perked up at the mention of the nickname "Prez".

Interrupting their conversation, Minhee shifted his focus towards Heejin, startling her. His gaze was filled with genuine curiosity.
