2010, seoullittle chaeyoung entered the classroom excitedly for her first day. some kids were already talking to others but since she's a new student there isn't much to talk to. she sits on the very front of the class, but no one wanted to sit in front afraid they'd always get called first.
taking out her baby pink lunchbox to grab her biscuit, the color stood out the most considering it as too girly for the others. but she didn't mind. she took it back and continued to eat before the their teacher arrives.
minutes had passed and the teacher entered the room with a huge smile on her face. the class had settle down and greeted her. she introduced herself as ms. cho and made everyone stand up for an introduction.
after everyone introducing themselves, a late student stopped by the door, out of breath. kids were laughing at his messy hair and sweat from all the running. "and you must be?" she asked him.
he responded, "i'm sorry for being late. i uhh... i woke up late. i'm jeongguk." he explained, but ms. cho let it slide and told him to take a seat. with all the seat occupied and the only left is in the front besides little chaeyoung, he muttered "i don't want to be in front." and sat besides the girl who didn't even noticed him.
after class little chaeyoung received a call from her mother telling that she has to walk home alone because there's been an urgent meeting at work and that her other family members are unavailable. the streets are safe and she's used to walking alone considering her home is just two blocks away.
stepping off foot on school grounds she walked on the a pathway and held the arm of her back pack with two hands while she walk.
with the sun almost setting, she saw a shadow walking behind her. she stopped her tracks to look and saw the boy who stepped in late for class.
"are you following me?" she raised an eyebrow.
"um, no?" he replied also raising an eyebrow.
she decided to ignore his presence and continued on walking home, but as she started to move his shadow also did the same. she fastened her pace until she thought he's out of sight. turning to the block where her home is, she slowed down.
she look back and surprised that he's still trailing behind.
that angered little chaeyoung.
"hey new kid, stop following me and i won't tell my mum."
"wha-what do you mean i'm following you? my house is near here silly baby pink girl."
"excuse me? give respect for my color when i give one for your stupid iron man pencil case."
"whatever nerd." he blurted out.
"whatever jerk." she replied, entering the gate of her home.
