heartbreaker | nct dream

02

upon reaching school, i checked my watch and realised i was late. i wasted too much time trying to figure out that heartbreaker app. not to mention, how they knew i had school. i groaned as i sprinted into school, bumping into a guy along the way. i fell on my butt and glared at him. he stretched out his hand for me to hold but i got up myself and dusted off my skirt.

"hey, wait up!"

"can you help me?"

"can you even hear me?"

i continued running to class even though he kept calling for me. i couldn't afford to be later than i already was.

to my dismay, he eventually caught up with me and asked me where the chemistry lab was. i sighed and told him to follow me, since it was in the same direction my class was.

"thank you, you should probably get going now if you don't want to be any later than you already are." he bowed, giving me some time to look at his features. i've never seen him before. was he a new student? before i could get more carried away, i walked a few more steps down and finally reached my classroom. as i stepped foot into class, all eyes were on me and i smiled sheepishly.

"is this your first time late?" ms ahn, my math teacher asked and i nodded my head.

"i'll let it slide this time. go take a seat."

i made my way to my seat and caught my breath.

"what's wrong? you're never late," my seat mate, mark, asked.

"this morning i-" i got cut off before i could even start explaining to him.

"cha haeyoung! you're already late to my class and you still want to talk? mind sharing what you were saying to the whole class?" ms ahn folded her arms, looking at me strictly.

i shook my head and apologised.

"tell me later," mark whispered and i nodded.

"class, i'll be heading out for awhile to attend some business, please complete the assigned pages quietly before i come back." after ms ahn left the classroom, everyone started engaging their own conversations, leaving the classroom in utter chaos.

while i was trying to explain the reason why i was late to mark, i overheard some girls in front talking about how four students would be joining our level. and apparently, all four of them would be joining the same class. how can a classroom fit more students? especially four more. i wondered which unlucky class would be getting them.

although i had a slight gut feeling that they would be assigned to our class since we had the least amount students out of all classes in the level, i pushed that thought aside.

"the class that'll be getting the new students must be unlucky huh," mark chuckled softly.

"that was exactly what i was thinking! let's hope it wouldn't be our class. i wonder how loud the class would get if-" my sentence got cut off as ms ahn entered the classroom with four male students following behind her.

"attention, class! we will have four new students joining our class starting from now on. please welcome them warmly and make them feel comfortable." ms ahn announced.

some girls squealed, some boys jeered, while mark and i just stared at the boys with our mouths slightly agape. just as i was saying i didn't want the new students in our class...

"that second boy looks familiar, i just can't put my finger on where i saw him before," i pointed at him and examined his features.

"maybe in your bedroom?" mark joked and i rolled my eyes.

"i'm being serious about this!" i shot him a playful glare and he smirked.

"boys, please introduce yourselves to the class." ms ahn stepped aside.

"i'm lee donghyuck, but you can call me haechan." one boy with tanned skin introduced. following after him was a smaller boy that looked like a foreigner. "hello i'm huang renjun, i was born in china but i moved to korea when i was younger."

"the name's lee jeno." a black haired boy waved and showed off his cute eye smile. he looked like a samoyed. a cute one, that is.

"na jaemin." the last boy, along with the shortest greeting introduced. many girls were already fawning over him even though he just said his name. pretty boy.

"ah! i remember now! i bumped into him this morning and brought him to the chemistry lab which made me later than i already was," i exclaimed to mark in jubilation and smiled to myself, proud that i remembered.

"that renjun guy? but i still want to know why you were that late, the chemistry lab isn't even that far from our classroom,"

"re- what? and i wasn't even that late," i retorted.

"whatever you say," mark shook his head.

"whAtevEr yOu sAy." i mocked him.

"please fill in the empty seats and sit down."

i looked around the classroom and noticed two empty seats behind mark and i, and two other empty seats at the left side of the classroom on the second row.

the black haired male and pretty boy sat behind us while the tanned male and smaller male sat at the other column. i'm obviously a professional at remembering names.

"alright, let's continue our lesson for today." ms ahn said, beginning her tiresome lectures.
