MIN YUJIN

"You are obviously not good," Taehyun mumbles as the teacher continues to take attendance. "Why do you keep hiding your face?" His eyes brush past me and I see him put two and two together. Of course, Kang Taehyun isn't stupid. "Is it him?"

I punch his arm. "Stop staring."

He frowns and rubs his arm. He looks back at me. "Don't worry he's too focused on something else. He won't notice me staring."

I relax slightly and sit up. "Really?"

I turn to him to see what Taehyun means, and regret it immediately when I see a pair of deep, brown eyes stare right back.

Fuck you Kang Taehyun.

CHOI BEOMGYU

I smile at my seat mate and introduce myself.

"Hi I'm Choi Beomgyu," I tell him holding out my hand.

He smiles back. "Kim Samuel."

As he shakes my hand, I take note that he does not look fully Korean. But I don't immediately jump to that conclusion as I remember Taehyun is full Korean but looks foreign.

He reads my expression. "I'm half, my dad is Mexican-American."

I laugh and apologize. "I'm sorry, it probably gets annoying? Do you get asked that all the time?"

He shakes his head. "Don't worry about it. I used to get irritated, but I realized it's just uncommon. No big deal."

I nod in understanding. "So...what's up??"

The lunch bell rings and I pack up my things. I turn to Samuel.

"Do you have plans for lunch?"

He shakes his head. "Like I said I'm new here," referring to our conversations earlier, "I don't know anyone."

I nod. "You can eat with us. I'm meeting up with two of my friends, their from another section."

He nods. "Sure dude. Why not," he smiles as we walk out the room together, both of us unbeknownst to the stares and whispers that follow us. I check my phone and see that they've messaged.

"They're gonna be a bit late. We can go ahead," I tell him while steering us in the direction of the canteen.

We get food and find a table and around 10 minutes later the two walk over with their own trays. I stare at Yujin who doesn't give any form of greeting and instead takes a seat beside me and buries her head in her arms. I then look at Taehyun who slides in beside Samuel. "What's up with her."

He turns to Samuel and introduces himself. Samuel does the same, then Taehyun turns back to me. "I don't know. She's been acting weird all morning. Ever since she saw the Hyeongjun guy..."

Her head shoots up and she glares at him. "Kang Taehyun," she warns. He sticks his tongue out at her.

"It's not like he's that good looking," Taehyun says absentmindedly as he begins to eat his food.

She rolls her eyes as she picks up her chopsticks. "That's not why I was shocked." She then notices Samuel, who by the way is studying her curiously. "Oh my gosh I'm sorry I didn't see you there. I'm Min Yujin." She holds out her hand across the table and he takes it.

"It's fine. I'm Kim Samuel," he smiles. I look down at my food so I don't have to see them make eye contact while she smiles.

"Uhm..." Taehyun has his eyes set behind Yujin. "He's walking over."
