it was changeover period and the whole class was like a fish market, students were scattered all around the class chatting and laughing loudly.

amongst all the students, kim yohan was the loudest. he was cracking lame jokes that were throwing our classmates into fits of laughter.

yohan was known as the class jokester, he's always talking and laughing and never fails to help keep the mood of the class.

"why is it so noisyyyy," i whine as i threw my hoodie cover over my head to cover my ears. i was trying hard to take a short nap but the class was far too loud, plus yohan was sitting right in front of me.

i felt something poking my arm and i lifted my head to see yohan sitting in front of me, he probably heard what i said.

yohan and i were okay friends, we've known each other since we were in primary school. back in those days, we were considered pretty close. we were tablemates for a couple of years and him, being extremely sociable, starting talking to me. i was an introvert but he managed to make me talk to him anyways. once i got to know him better, all the awkwardness was gone and i started getting comfortable talking to him about anything and everything.

moving on to middle school, we drifted apart. we were in different classes and in the meantime, yohan's popularity soared. he became pretty popular especially amongst the girls. he was good looking to begin with and he started to be known as the cute taekwondo boy. anyways, we didn't talk at all throughout middle school. i was living my own lowkey life with my friends while he was there at the top.

fast forward to high school, we were in the same school again, and now we were back in the same class. we had conversations here and there but that was about it. at times, he came to me asking if we could talk and he would rant and confide in me. i didn't know why he did that, probably because he confided in me alot back in the primary school days. anyways, i would offer my listening ear to him and all would be well.

"what are your plans after school today?" he asks me.

"after school? nothing much, i'm going home," i reply groggily.

"'wanna come and watch the taekwondo match? almost everyone in the class is coming, there's free snacks for everyone who comes too," yohan suggested with a smile.

"hm? are you participating in it?" i asks as i brushed my loose strands of hair behind my ears.

"yeah, come support me," yohan says.

"okay," i say before putting my head down on the table again.

after school, i tagged along with the class to watch the taekwondo match. i hung around with haseul and seola, two of my closest friends in class and we were sitted near the back of the sports hall.

"i can't believe this, our school's taekwondo team literally has their own fanclub. look at those crazy fangirls," seola says as she nodded towards a bunch of girls sitting at the front row bench. they were holding banners and large cards with names of the taekwondo team members.

"but you've got to admit, the boys in our school's team are pretty hot," haseul chuckles.

"yeah, i would agree to that," i say. our school's team was really made up of some fine looking members.

"you two," seola rolled her eyes at us. she was the kind of girl that would never ever call a guy hot, to her, personality was the most important.

anyways, the match started and i watched intently as our school's team battled it out with the opponent team.

and after 3 long hours, we finally won!

after the prize presentation, all the students went down from the benches to congratulate the team members.

neither me, haseul nor seola were close to the taekwondo members so we just sat at our seats and waited for the crowd to clear so we could leave the sports hall.

as i scanned through the crowd, i saw yohan looking at me. he smiled when our eyes met and i smiled back, giving him a thumbs up. then, a random girl came along and pulled him away. before they left, she turned to me and gave me a glare.

my eyes widened slightly in shock as i frowned.

"yah, did you see that? that girl glared at me!" i said in disbelief to haseul and seola.

"that girl, happens to be koo miyeon. do you not know her?" haseul replies.

"no i don't, why did she even do that?" i asked in curiosity.

"she's a devil behind that pretty face of hers, she's two faced and plays around with boys. anyways, i think she likes yohan and got jealous when she saw him smiling at you," haseul explains.

"how do you even know that? i've never seen her face before," seola asks and haseul just smiled sheepishly.

"i know all of the gossips here at junsan high," haseul smirks, causing seola and i to roll our eyes.
