-Lee Sunhi-

For the first time in a while, I was having a chat that didn't involve school or money alone, like person with friends would; even though we had just met, he was already the first person to give me warmth in a very long time..but at the same time I was embarrassed that I was looking worse than usual;  zero makeup on, in  sweaty gym clothes and collapsed on the floor So of course that he was just being polite.

"Well, it was nice to meet you, Jackson.." I said, slowly rising from the seat since my legs still felt a little weak.

"Are you sure you're okay? Because I could walk you home, just to make sure you make it safely" He said, standing up as well; the concerned expression that had first greeted me being back on his angel like face

"it's okay, I can make it.. thanks for" 'being nice to me'

"the water" I took the bottle from the table, waving it a little with a soft smile that he returned.

I found myself entering my house once again, finally making it to the safety of this four walls.

I entered the bathroom, stripping from my clothes and stepping into the relaxing warm water that poured out of the  faucet. A small wince escaped my lips as the water reached the wounds, my body tensing a little at the sudden wave of pain that hit me. Ignoring the  increasing pain, I hurried to wash myself up and get out of the shower, changing into my pajamas right after.

After being done with my nighttime routine, I headed over to the desk and pulled out of my bag the homework I had due to the week, a sigh following as I realized the amount of work I actually had. I took a glance at the alarm clock that proudly woke me up every morning.

'00:30am' 

The big black numbers announced. Well, at least it was less than last week.

"Okay, everyone! This assignment is in pairs and trios, and before you start making your groups, let me tell you... you can't! I'll be chosing this time" the teacher announced with a mischievous smile all over her devilish face. Among all the grunts and complaints, I could hear the comments I was never able to escape.

'I really hope I don't get paired up with her'
'I know! I don't think that thing is able to do anything else than scaring people away'

I chuckled, finding her insult quite funny, as I already was a top student at this high school.. but of course, no one wanted to acknowledged that. My lips curled into a small pout as I clicked the pen in my hand that laid down on my lap, how was I yet not used to those words?

"Listen up everyone! Kim Anya with Lee Jimin" the teacher suddenly spoke up, standing up from her seat.

"Kah Jaehyun and Ghim Junghoon"

"Lee Sunhi and Hataichanok Bhuwakul"

So the Thai girl and I, huh? At least she is foreigner as well. I slowly turned to look at her that sat at the back of the classroom, a cheerful smile on her goddess like face; I didn't smile back but I did nod in her direction. Everyone started with their chattering once again but this time it lasted not even thirty seconds; 'Baby' as everyone called her, was heading to my seat. Everyone was so shocked, including myself.

"Hey, I'm Baby" she introduced herself with yet another graceful smile

"I-I'm Sunhi" I said a few seconds after she introduced herself. Just like that she started explaining what she had in mind for our project, a project which consisted in making a presentation as a k-duo, would. We had to write a song and choreograph it, and being honest, the idea of doing that, both frightened and excited me a lot.
