The classroom guardian filled the first hours of learning where he delivered several things. He came into our class, but with a man who looked our age. He looks brown, his hair is neatly arranged and his uniform is neat. He is tall and has perfect skin color. He doesn't look 100% Korean, but he is charismatic.
"Well kids, we're making new friends, he'll be joining your class for the rest of the year." Ms. Jaei said to us. All our eyes were on the boy.
"Annyeongghaseyo." said, confidently. "My name is Lee Seojun. I hope the saga can have friends here."
The whole class did not respond.
"Well Seojun, you can sit um..." Ms. Jaei is looking for an empty bench.
Where there's one left next to Jin.
"Well Taehyung, you're sitting next to Jin and Seojun, you're sitting next to Hyejin" he said.
Before Taehyung and I could react, the man named Seojun was already heading towards us.
Taehyung stared at him for a few seconds then he saw me . I folded my arms and waited, my eyes staring awkwardly at the floor.
Taehyung stood up and sat down next to Jin, who was in the same row as me, the last row, but four tables were at my right.
Seojun came and sat down next to me. "Hi" he said and extended his hand to me to shake.
"We don't shake hands very often in Korea" I said, a little distracted by the new boy.
"Oh." he stood up and bowed to me while the whole class was staring at us.
"Hey sat down." I shouted in a whisper. He quickly sat down.
Ms. Jiae told us a few things and told us the exam schedule.
L saw. "You're not Korean, are you?"
He chuckles slowly. "My mother is Korean, my father is Canadian. I was born in Canada but I speak a little Korean so here I am."
"Why don't you stay in Canada?" my many.
He turned away for a moment. "Well, my parents got divorced and I'm now living with my mom. I'm very bari in Korea."
I was silent for a moment, not knowing what to respond to. I can tell you, he's very new, because his Korean is different and he's a little flirting.
We both kept quiet, listening for the rest of the lesson.
...***...
"I'm so glad you all got your work done on Monday and I've assessed your work so look at the value later. I'll put it up in the classroom" Ms said. Gil's.
Everyone was curious and rushed to the classroom mading after Ms. Gil puts it up, except Taehyung and Seojun.
I researched the list to see my name.
"Yoongi & Namjoon - Grade B
Mina & Jungkook - Grade A
Jimin & Hoseok - Grade C
Hyejin & Taehyung - Grade A..."
I ran to Taehyung and woke up. "HEY! WE GOT 'A' FOR THE PKN PROJECT!" I said excited. His eyes were glaring and he was smiling.
"Seriously?" queried. I nodded my head.
"But I work the most, so you owe me something." I said and stuck out my tongue.
"Excuse me. I gave you an idea, okay." I replied.
"No, you have to buy me a meal next time" I said. He ignored me and continued his sleep, with his head on the table.
"Good kids, get back to your place. We'll start the lesson" Ms. Gil's.
I was just about to sit down when I realized, I'm not sitting next to Taehyung anymore. I took a breath and walked to my seat.
"Hey Hyejin, value for what?" Seojun asked me.
"This is the Pkn Project that we gathered Monday, you're not yet part of the class. Didn't you hear?" I said, without looking at him.
"Oh.. So you got the best grade?" he asked another question.
"Can you shut up and stop asking so many questions? Very noisily." I said rudely to him and he was instantly silent.
...***...
I let out a breath. Wait, I shouldn't be sad. It's good that that crazy kid found a friend so I can avoid him now.
I went to the cafeteria and took my tray to an empty table. There's an empty table for me, alone. I eat my food in silence.
"Annyeong.." Someone greeted me and sat down in front of me.
"Well! Did I say you could sit here?" I shouted at Seojun.
"Mianhe, there's no empty space left anymore" he said.
I rolled my eyeballs and continued eating.
"Hyejin-ah, can you show me this school? I'm just getting an ak-"
I looked at him and he stopped talking. After I finished finishing half my meal, I returned my tray to the storage and wanted to run but Seojun still followed me.
"What do you want?" I screamed at him.
"I thought you wanted to show me around school but, forget it" she said and walked away from me.
"Ugh, you crazy son of a bitch." I muttered and walked to the toilet.
...***...
The school was finally over and I rushed out of the school avoiding that stupid boy Seojun again.
I can't wait to go home and watch K-Drama. I rushed over while looking back to make sure Seojun the creepy kid didn't follow me. Then later, I didn't notice there was a rock in front of me and I ended up tripping when I looked back.
I fell down and landed on my knee.
I was so embarrassed and in so much pain. My knees started bleeding and people just looked at me and walked past me.
"You okay?" said a voice. A hand stretched out for me. I looked up and I saw Seojun.
This kid again.
"Why do you always follow me?" I asked, looking at my bleeding knee.
He crouched down and took out a tissue box. "I'm not following you. I'm coming home through here."
I took my tissue box and cleaned my wounds. "Thanks you can go bye." I said.
"Can you walk?" tanyakanya.
"Just leave me!" i'm yelling.
He sighed, walked away.
I struggled when I tried to stand up and then stumbled when I felt pain in my knee. He turned and came back to me.
"Let me help you okay" said Seojun and clasped my hand, curling my hand around his shoulder and holding my waist. You hit me while we walked.
I wanted to push him but I thought that I couldn't go home on my knees like this, so I let it go. A very unlucky fall.
"Through that alley and a little ahead is my home." I directed.
We finally reached my gate and we distanced ourselves.
"Alright, get well quickly" he said and grinned.
I gave a faint smile, to be honest I was a little touched by his help.
"Well, now that you know where I live, don't follow me anymore okay" I said and he laughed.
"Araseo annyeong!" he said and walked away.
"Hey Seojun." I called him and he turned around.
"Hmm?"
"I'm sorry I was rude today" I said.
He smiles. "Gwenchanas."
I smiled back and went into the house.
