freshmen again

⋆two⋆

i stood in front of the large building, gripping my backpack tightly. adjusting to life korea wasn't too bad, but things definitely changed. i never really kept in touch with anyone after i left, but observing the campus, i could already recognize a couple of faces. i wondered if anyone recognized me.

i took a deep breath and walked into the building. i glanced at my watch and quickened my pace. of course i would be late on my first day.

i found my classroom and hesitantly opened the door, trying to hide my embarrassment as about a fifty pairs of eyes turned to look at me.

"looks like we already have a late comer," the professor sarcastically remarked.

"sorry, sir. it won't happen again," i quickly replied, bowing my head.

"make sure that it doesn't. go find a seat, i was just about to go over the syllabus," he replied, handing me a paper that i assumed was the syllabus. i nodded and quickly made my way to an empty seat.

i glanced through the syllabus as the professor spoke, but i didn't really pay attention. it was just syllabus day anyway; almost every teacher had the same rules. i caught myself zoning and subtly shook my head at myself. looking around the room, i examined potential friends and study buddies when my eyes landed on him.

damn, he would be in this class. suddenly, my mind went into panic mode, thinking about the awkward occurrence at the start of class. he definitely saw me, didn't he? i had a million thoughts racing through my head and when i finally brought myself back to consciousness, i felt his dark eyes boring into mine.

i turned my head towards the front as quickly as i could, heat feeling my cheeks. nice going, yeri. i shrunk back into my seat, wanting to hide myself from his prying eyes.

of course, he of all people had to not only go to seoul university, but also being in my first class of the day.

about twenty minutes passed before the professor finally decided to let us go. i exited the class as quickly as i could, fearful of running into him. i didn't know if i could ever face him again.

i didn't remember which class i had next, but i just kept walking and walking, hoping my legs would take me somewhere far enough from him. i wasn't pay much attention to where i was going, so as i turned the corner i ran into a figure.

"ow," i muttered under my breath, rubbing my head.

"yeri?"

i hesitantly glanced up, but once my eyes landed on the boy in front of me, a smile found its way to my face.

"mark!" i exclaimed.

"i thought you were in america?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"well, i was. but i wanted to come back to korea for college," i explained.

"damn, well, i'm glad you're back, yeri. i've missed you so much," he said, pulling me for a hug.

i beamed, giving him tight squeeze back. "i know, your life must've been so boring without me."

he rolled his eyes as he pulled away. "you just up and left. a warning would've been nice," he pouted.

"i know, i just needed to get away from everything here. it was kinda last minute," i replied, awkwardly rubbing the back of my neck.

his expression softened. "oh, right. i heard some shit went down between you and-"

"yeah. i just couldn't stay here, you know?"

he nodded, pulling me close again. "i hope you know i will always be here for you, yerim."

"thank you, markie. now give me your schedule so i can see if we have any classes."

he chuckled, pulling out a piece of paper from his bag and handing it to me.
