Prologue

Hyerim's POV

Groaning at the sound of my alarm blasting all across the room, I shut off the alarm, groggily sitting up straightly on my bed.

I lazily made my way to my bathroom, taking a shower, and waking up at 5am in the morning is definitely not easy for me because I slept at 2am every night because of work.

After a nice and refreshing shower, I wrapped my towel around my body, walking out of the bathroom, heading to my wardrobe and grabbed my school uniform.

I slipped it on, tying my hair up into a ponytail, before fixing my skirt, making sure it was not too short.

I had a black shorts on, but still I don't want to wear a skirt that's way too short. Unlike other girls in our school, who would literally wave their butts in the air with their short ass skirts.

Applying some lip balm on my lips, before grabbing my bag, and walked out of my room, walking off to school.

It took me about only 15 minutes to reach school because it is just a few blocks away from my apartment.

I entered the school gate, walking passed by some students, directly heading to my classroom.

Noticing my arrival, Miyeon jogged towards me, slunging her arm on my shoulder, as we walked together to class.

We hooked our bags, before slumping into our seats, as I started to doze off. And I would have been sleeping if it weren't for that bitch Miyeon slamming her palm on my table.

"What the fuck do you want? I was about to doze off,"

"Geez, Hyerim. You should stop cursing," she said.

I rolled my eyes at her obnoxiously, clearly tired of her nagging about the same thing over and over again.

"Just say that it's a way for you to recognize if I'm possessed or not,"

She glared at me, before smiling excitedly at me, leaning closer to me.

"You know, I heard there will be a new guy coming today. And the best part is, he's handsome!", she squealed.

"I don't give a fuck,"

"Oh my god, Hyerim. You're so emotionless for god's sake," she said, and turned back in front as Mr. Lee walked in with his laptop.

We greeted him in unison, as he smiled brightly, "Have a seat,"

We all sat in our own seats, before focusing on whatever shit he was teaching in front.

Mr. Lee is our Calculus teacher, and also our homeroom teacher, so he knew every each one of us all too well.

And the lesson went on until the bell rang, and all of the students ran out from the class right after thanking Mr. Lee.

"Hey, let's go to the cafeteria.", Miyeon said, as I shook my head. "I don't feel like eating,"

"I'll get you a chocolate milk," she said, leaving me alone in the class.

I looked out to the window, looking at the guys playing basketball, and there were like a sea of girls surrounding the basketball court, screaming and fangirling at the seniors.

"Pft, what even.", I rolled my eyes irritatedly, before shifting my attention to my phone.

I scrolled through my Instagram, watching a few videos of babies, because I love babies despite my vulgarism.

I was smiling from ear to ear at a video of a babygirl pleading her mom to buy her a new plushie.

An hour later, Mrs. Han walked in, with a guy trailing behind her. Miyeon turned around, and gave me a wide smile of excitement.

"I told you he's handsome!"

"Whatever,"

"Alright, we have a new student here. Young man, please do introduce yourself.", Mrs. Han softly spoke to the new guy.

My eyes slowly travelled to the new guy, he had his black hair gelled up, revealing his forehead, prominent jawline, pointy nose.

He then smiled brightly, his eyes forming cute eye smiles, as he bowed politely at us.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Park Jimin. I just moved here from Busan, and I hope we can get along very well."

And then the girls started screaming how handsome he is, and plenty of them even fainted.

I looked away from him, not getting interested in shit, as I rested my head on my crossed arms, dozing off.

"Well then, you can take your seat next to Shin Hyerim."

I instantly sat up straightly, after knowing that the new guy will be sitting next to me.

Out of all seats in this class.

The new guy bowed at Mrs. Han, before making his way towards me. He sat next to me, as he smiled genuinely at me.

He held out his right hand, as he looked at me with that damn bright smile of his. "Hi, I'm Jimin. Park Jimin,"

I just ignored him, focusing back on the board, and he looked disappointed, as he slowly shifted his attention to me.

"Hey, can we share? I still haven't receive my textbooks," he poke my arm.

I heaved out a tired sigh, as I put my textbook right in the middle of our tables, making sure he could see it too.

"Thank you," he smiled.

I just hummed in response, without sparing a glance at him. "What's your name again? I forgot it,"

"Shin Hyerim,"

"Ah, okay. Shin Hyerim," he said. And not even for fucking 5 seconds, he spoke again, once again poking my arm.

"Hey, may I borrow a pencil?"
