Chapter 1: So Jin's Life.

So Jin is a simple girl. As simple as you can think of. She squeezes in the public transport every morning just to get to school. She work part time on weekends to earn money to pay for her school fees and daily life expenses. She had an aloof personality. And that's all for a reason. She lost both her parents at a young age of 14. She walked through her darkest times alone, without anyone beside her to comfort her. No one is there to give her support and to take care of her. She took care of herself every since she was 14. She did everything alone. And because she started working at a young age, she rarely hangs out with her friends. She decline then every time they ask her out. Why? She has to work you see. At a age of 14, working and studying at the same time is tiring, but she held it on and made it to college. An 18 year old year, working off her butts to pay her school fees sound reasonable don't it? But she pays for her rent since her house was gone in the fire. She pays for her food and clothing. She has been having the same 5 sets of clothing for 4 years. She grew too big to fit them it. And guess what she did. She picked up clothes which her friends didn't want. She got laughed for it, but who cares? She didn't mind it as long as she didn't have to spend money on them. Her new friends in college called her " pickup girl " . She picks up and use whatever they stuff they don't need. Such a simple and nice girl, independence and pretty. Which guy wouldn't like her? Many people ostracized her for her odd and aloof behaviors but who knows her story? Who know that she cry herself to sleep when she think of her parents who died in a pathetic fire? She's quite pitiful I must say.

Just when she wanted to give up on her social life in college, a cute guy, talk to her and actually wanted to make friends with her. This guys might actually change her life completely.

" Hi there. " this cute guys smiled sweetly. So Jin thought that he was the cutest guy she had ever met. The sweet smile which So Jin couldn't wipe it off her mind since then. " My name is Xiumin. What's yours?" That cute guy asked for her name. So Jin's heart beat faster, she unknowingly smiled and her heart pounded faster and faster. It's was a love at first sight.

" My... My name is..." So Jin stuttered. " I'm.. I'm..So.. Jin.." She stuttered even more. Xiumin held out his hand, imitating a handshake. So Jin hesitated. She wouldn't want him to hold her sweating palms. She stared at his hand for a moment. She wondered how long it has been since she shook a person's hand and talked to and converse with them. These few years, she became more and more aloof and more and more afraid of socializing. " Why..? Is there a problem? " Xiumin asked after seeing So Jin staring at his hand for so long. So Jin snapped out of her thoughts. She wiped her hands on her dark denim long jeans before exchanging a nice handshake with him. That's was a nice first meeting for the two of them for the first day at college. Before they realize, the bell rang for their next lesson to start.

Their next lesson was English. It is one of their main subject in college. And if you fail it, you're not allowed to graduate. Apparently it's the first day in college, their teacher , Mr Joon, wanted them to introduce themselves to the class. To let the class better understand each other, he not only wanted them introduce their name, and also their family. So Jin was afraid that the class would despise her if she told them what happened to her family. She felt ashamed about it. She raised her hand, wanting to opt out from this activity. " Mr Joon. " She called out softly. There was no response. " Mr Joon? " She spoke louder. " Yes? " " Cna I sit out for this activity" She asked politely, and gently, hoping that the teacher gives her permission to sit out so she should not embarass herself in front of the class. " Why? The entire class is doing it so that gives you no reason to sit out. Sit down and join in." Mr Joon rejected her half heartedly. She sat down.

" I'm Sunny, my entire family is living at the private estate near this college. My daddy is a doctor and my mum is a professor at a university. I have no siblings and currently I've not start working yet. " One of the girl who sits beside So Jin introduced her family. So Jin thought that her family is too disgraceful to be shared. She started to worry about the class opinions. It's was her turn. She stood up slowly from her seat. She opened her mouth to speak. But nothing came out. She was too afraid.

" So Jin, right? You may start, please do not waste the class time. " Mr Joon rushed her. " I'm ... My... " She stuttered again this time. So Jin have public speaking issues. She's afraid of talking in front of a class with 40 students, with everyone staring at her, waiting for her to speak up. She was about to break down and cry. The class stared at her, and she stared back at them. Her eyes filled with terror and anxiousness. " So Jin? Please start, the class is waiting. " This time, Mr Joon sounded impatient. She started to panic. " My.. name is So Jin.." She paused again, afraid of revealing about her parents and the accident. Just then, Xiumin stood up, walked towards her, grabbed her hands and ran out of the classroom. The class broke in to an uproar. " OHHHH.. " they started a commotion.

Xiumin dragged So Jin and ran, without a destination. They just kept running away from the classroom. So Jin ran with him, without asking anything. Xiumin then stopped at the field. " What exactly happened? If you don't mind me asking. I see that you're really afraid just now." Xiumin asked in curiosity. " Nothing, just that I find my family a disgrace. " So Jin felt comfortable talking to him. He was so sweet and gentle. So Jin finds herself enchanted in his cuteness. " So Jin, listen here, none of us can choose of family. Be proud that you actually have one. " Xiumin comforted her with a tinge of sadness in his tone. " My parents died in an accident 4 years ago since I was 14. So I actually did not have one . " So Jin felt very at ease talking to Xiumin. " Looks like we have something in common. My parents died in an car accident 4 year ago too. " Xiumin explained. The atmosphere became awkward. The both felt sad for each other. The silence later for awhile.

" Let's go back to class. I'm very sure we're in very deep trouble for running out of the class. " Xiumin broke the silence. Without actually noticing, they held their hands and walked back to class together.
