oooOooo

Before Jay adopted the puppies...

oooOooo

Miho frowned as soon as he sat down on his seat beside Jay. Maybe Crystal is sick? The transferee hasn't been in school for quite a while and it worried him. A nudge from his left snapped him out of his trance.

"Eh?" It was Jay. "She's a strong girl? Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't worry too much. Thank you, Jay!" The albino's beaming face rendered the poor blond into a blushing mess as Jay covered his face with his hands.

The crimson-eyed foreigner chuckled, childishly leaning against Jay.

At this sight, Daniel felt that bitter feeling bubbling in the pit of his stomach once again. He disliked the feeling and it made him feel bad, thinking that having this emotion made him a somewhat bad person.

Miho used to be touchy-feely with only him. But... he hesitantly stole a glance at the pair from the corner of his eyes. Jay's my friend, too. Even if he tried to hate the blond, that wouldn't do. 

The pretty boy suddenly banged his head on his desk... a bit too loudly, actually. Everyone in class turned to look at him and caused his face to burn in embarrassment. "S-Sorry." Zack rolled his eyes at him, making him sweat.

"Stupid, you're being an obvious moron." Daniel quirked an eyebrow at Zack in confusion. What..?

"... eeeehhhhh?!"

Miho's sudden outburst startled everyone. Some even fell off their chair from surprise. The foreigner abruptly stood up from his seat, his face set into a panic. "I'msorrypleasetellsenseiIhaveajobtodogottagoseeyouguystomorrow!"
They watched him sprint out of the room, nearly tripping over by the door as he rushed to wherever he was going to.

"... what's a sensei?"

oooOooo

Meanwhile, Taejoon Park was having some kind of reflection. All he wanted was some attention. He said the truth but no one believed him. He changed his hairstyle but no one noticed. Was it that hard to make people give him a fraction of their attention?

He had been scrolling through his account in Pacebook, coming across Doo Lee's... eccentric videos. He tried copying what he did but all he received were negative comments. It was hard...

He was lonely.

All he ever wanted was to have a friend, an acquaintance even, to give him even a tiny bit of their attention. That was all. He wasn't asking for much anyway.

Soon, he came across an uploaded photo of that albino from school. Miho Di, was it?

His eyes almost bulged out of their sockets as he saw the likes and comments. It was over fifty thousand likes and a hundred thousand comments! And what was the photo?

He examined the picture carefully, realizing that the SWT Dream Company had uploaded the photo. That was like one of the most amazing company out there! Wait... weren't there rumors that Miho Di was the son of the owner?

In the picture, Miho Di was simply taking a bite out of his parfait, his clothes came from the latest fashion line that the company advertised, and his hair was pulled back; his face was in full view.

Taejoon sighed in defeat.

He wasn't good-looking like Miho Di so doing that kind of photo was out of the question.
