the class dismissed for the next period and i got up as i put my books into my bag. i turned to Hoseok, who was doing the same.

"Hey" i said, and he turned to face me with a smile. "Yes?"

"Is it too much to ask if you could tell me where the biology lab is?" i asked him. I felt a little comfortable, and plus he had been friendly all this while, so why not?

"Biologieeeee...." he wondered out aloud, thinking. "Ahaa, i know" he said, "I will show" and he motioned me to follow him.

"Thank you very much" i said, walking behind him. He bowed his head a little as if to say you're welcome.

We walked down the stairs and then came two boys running towards us. 

"Hobi Hyung, save me! save me!" said one boy, he was a little short in stature as compared to Hoseok, and he quickly came in and hid behind him. I didn't understand what had happened. A tall, lean guy who had pretty fingers too, came in chasing the one who hid behind Hoseok. It suddenly became interesting to watch.

"Jimin aaah, what happeneu?" Hoseok asked, uncovering the boy from the tall guy. 

"He ate myyyy nooodllleee, come back here aa" and there was a tiny merry-go-round played around Hoseok.

I cracked up a bit, and they all noticed me snorting.

"Hobi Hyung- you didn't tell me about your girlfriend la" the boy laughed, and i raised my eyebrows, feeling a little embarrassed. 

Hoseok hit the boy on his head, asking him to shut up. "Miya, uhh- this is Jimin, and this is-"

"world wide handsome" the tall guy said, putting out his hand for me to shake it.  I giggled at him, and he politely kissed the back of my hand.

"Seokjin-" Hoseok said monotonously. "nice to meet you" i chuckled.

"me too" seokjin winked at me, leading to Hoseok reminding me that we have to head to the lab.

we reached the room, which was lined with microscopes, charts, specimen filled in jars and so much more. the lab looked enthralling. "you can call me Hobi" Hoseok said, leaning his back at the door of the lab. 

"pardon?" i asked. "everyone calls me Hobi here" he said giggling, blushing a bit.

"Okay Hobi" i said nervously. I went into the lab to take a seat. 

I was toying around with the microscope, checking how it works, when suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"which class next?" It was Hobi, who was shyly standing behind me. I was startled.

"Physics-" i blurted out spontaneously.

"Okie bye" he said, running off outside the lab as the teacher entered the place. I was smiling as the practicals began. I was really happy to make a friend like Hobi. He was the sweetest boy ever. I had only read about such boys in books or seen them on TV. 

.

"are you new?" said the girl next to me. I nodded. she put her lab manual in the centre of our table, offering to share it. I was very touched by her gesture. she smiled at me. 

"Gina" she said, putting her hand forward. She was really cute, and had her hair up in a high ponytail.

"I'm Miya" i said, shaking her hand.

.

The bell rang once again, and i walked out of the class. I love the subject biology, i had interest in science. I want to grow up to become a doctor, and although it is a dream no one in my family can ever imagine, i don't care. I want to save the lives of people, maybe that content feeling would help me in forgetting the ugly happenings in my past. it seemed like a good solution to overcome everything, even though it was a path of hard work.

I noticed the buckle of my shoe had become loose, so i bent down to tighten it. 

"Which class next?" Gina asked me, who walked out with me at the same time.

"Physics, and you?" i asked. "me tooo!!!" 

"by the way, do you speak korean?" she said.

"no, I just know how to say hello apparently" i nervously said. 

"Miyyaaaaa!" i heard a voice from the corridor. It was Hobi, running towards me. 

I curiously looked at him, "here, this is a school map, i made you this" he panted, handing me a piece of paper in which he had drawn a tentative outline of the school. oh that was so thoughtful of him.

"thank you so very much! this is going to be useful!" i said, and then Gina made a comment in korean, which i didn't understand. At her comment, Hobi furrowed his eyebrows and said something as if he was defending himself.

"what?" i sheepishly asked.

"i said, he must be doodling this all the time instead of paying attention in class" Gina chuckled.

Hobi shrugged his shoulder. "yahh, yahh, okay"
