THE ALEXIS
THE FIRST DAY OF COLLEGE

The clattering of footsteps echoed along the corridors of the majestic elite university building in the middle of the city. A door was opened, showing the rows of students who had been sitting on their benches. The boisterous sounds of the students inhabiting the classroom disappeared along with the entrance of a middle-aged woman before them.

“Good morning all.”

“Good morning, Bu.”

“Good, may you not be lazy after a long semester off.” The whole class laughed when they heard it. “And there was a little announcement, today the mother class added transfer student, move from Japan. I hope you can help him to adapt faster to the campus environment. Because there must be a difference in system and culture." Other students began to fileak kusuk hear what was delivered by his lecturer.

“Well, please enter Khiara!”

A brown-haired woman stepped into the classroom. For a moment, it seemed like many people were shocked. The woman was able to make a quiet atmosphere that was full of students who were dossier-piercing.

He tried to make her smile that looked very clumsy. He did not know what to act like when all eyes looked at him in amazement.

Was he well received in this class? Seems like.

A lot of friends, well maybe that's what he needs. Khiara introduced herself in front of her new friends. A friendly smile was on her sweet lips at the end of the introduction. A welcome from all his friends.

“Oh, you are back, quickly sit down!” Someone who came from behind the classroom door while reading a message on the screen of his cellphone, raised his head as soon as he heard a greeting from his lecturer.

“Ah, yes.” At that moment his steps stopped.

Not only that, his heart stopped. It is undeniable, that this time Goddess Fortuna is approaching.

Oh he remembered looking for the woman at his house, and it turned out that the waiter there said that Khiara did not live there. While the waiter was reluctant to tell where Khiara lived.

And now, he no longer needed to bother looking, because the woman had come alone.

His eyes were on Khiara. Their two pairs of eyes met each other, yet they were not having an eye war like before.

A faint smile fell on the lips of the two. He began to approach her, so close that the scent of each body could be smelled in their noses.

"Hi." Khiara who first greeted him as a form of politeness in front of his lecturer.

“The city is very narrow, miss. Is it possible that you were deliberately following me, heh?”

“Oya, she's a freshman in this program, Lex."

“I, tau.” Alex said without turning his eyes.

A sweet but thin smile fell on her lips. The smile choked Khiara's throat, but tried to cover it up.

Not only Khiara, even almost all of the class residents held their breaths when they saw her. They were all shocked and fascinated by him, this was the first time Alex had struck a sweet smile in front of them after such a long time.

Alex grabs Khiara's left hand and clasps her palm tightly, “She will sit with me.” He said as he gently pulled Khira into the middle of the room.

“Who allowed you to determine where I was sitting?” His words stopped Alex's steps, and indeed he also slightly pulled his hand from Alex.

Alex turned around and looked at him, raising his eyebrows. Khiara's two eyeballs moved on one of the students who was rushing to tidy up his belongings. Then he saw an empty bench in the corner of the room close to the window.

His gaze returned to Alex who was still staring at him. He tried to pull his hand back, but this man still did not let him.

“I just want to sit close to the window," Khiara said in the end. It was quiet for a moment, but Alex quickly complied.

“OK, you got it, miss.”

Alex again pulls Khiara to the table that Khiara means. Khiara frowned, this is not what she meant. Khiara certainly did not want to sit with Alex, and did not want to seize the bench belongs to someone else.

But this actually makes Alex snatch the bench belongs to someone else. Just to sit with him? This is totally insane!

Alex signs with his thumb on his friend to get out of there. The man immediately finished his books. Khiara gave a sharp look at Alex. He does not like his arbitrary actions. But he immediately breathed. Of course he did not want to fight with a madman on his first day. Finally Khiara showed an expression of regret to her new friend.

"It's okay" said the new friend without a sound.

“Sit!” Alex said after pulling out a chair for him.

Khira hesitates a little, and Alex pulls him over and sits him down. Alex sat next to him.

The entire class was very distrustful of the scenery they had just witnessed, not least their lecturers.

Just this time they saw Alex being so gentle with someone, let alone a woman. Well, at least they had never seen her again since two years before. They seemed to be looking at the earth that was being overturned due to the presence of a woman named Khiara.

Right now, the rest of his class is dropping their jaws. And Alex doesn't care. Let alone them, Khiara was astonished by Alex's change in attitude to him. He remembered very well a few days ago, the two of them were still throwing sharp gazes at each other.

“All right, everyone. Before college starts, I'll pass you all on." Said the lecturer in front there breaking the silence.

...***...

In the classroom, Khiara is only chin-backed with her right hand while looking out the window. The lecturer is flanking his students. While the man next to him was busy with his iPad and iPenn.

Suddenly next to his eyebrows raised when a car entered his campus area. The class is now on the third floor. And from the picture window next to it, he could look towards the campus courtyard freely. The car appears to park itself next to Alex's black spider.

A small smile was etched on his lips. He glanced at the clock on his left hand. The clock has shown at 10:15 minutes. A man got out of the car and was greeted by several flirtatious women.

Khiara looked tired holding back her gelatinous smile. The man was obviously time-hunted, but the women didn't just let him go. Eventually the man chose to run away by running as fast as he could. And before long, the man finally arrived at his class.

Blaak___

"Rein! Can you be a little polite? It's too late for a fight."

"Sorry, Mom. Not intentionally." He answered in the middle of his breath that was still cringing.

"Yes, sit down!" Said the lecturer with a little annoyance.

"Thank you, Mom." Said Rein while slightly bowing.

Waaaw, very good this lecturer. Think Khiara.

There was no punishment that Rein received, even though the man had interrupted his class. But Khiara just blinked her shoulders and looked back out the window.

Rein walked towards the bench in front of Alex and Khiara. The person sitting there immediately cleared his desk and shifted next to him. Rein immediately sat down in his chair and immediately twisted his body. As if curious about his close friend.

"When have you been sitting with a woman?" Rein finally expressed his curiosity.

"Why indeed?" Alex asked back.

Rein simply furrowed his brows and slightly tilted his head. This is a rare thing, however. Finally Rein glanced at Khiara who was still throwing her face out the window.

"Neon wae?* Shouldn't you have graduated?" Khiara who had been watching Rein from the reflection of the glass next to her finally asked in Korean.

*You are why?

Rein looked so shocked that he fell out of his chair as Khiara turned to him. That made Khiara offended and cast a sharp glare at her. The class was curious because of it. Even the staff stopped their activities.

"What's Rein?" Ask lecturer. But Rein didn't answer. He was still shocked by what he saw.

"Juggolaeyo?"* Khiara's Fashions. "Why do you look at me like I see a demon, huh?"

*You want to die, right?

"You know each other?" Alex asked as he looked at Rein who was still sitting on the floor.

"Ah, yes." Rein answered only briefly. "Wae yeogiiss - eo yo?"* Ask Rein while trying to get up from his place.

*Why are you here?

"I should ask, why are you here? This year shouldn't you graduate?"

"Gue___" Rein hung his words while grinning the horse. "Gue must repeat this lesson." Rein covered his shy expression with a scratch of his head.

"Babo huh?*" Khiara's eyes almost came out of the nest.

*Are you stupid?

Just imagine! Native Korean, almost always speak Korean with him every day, but repeat Korean lessons? Really do!! Is there anyone more stupid than him?

"Don't say nyokap, yeah!" Pinta Rein while grinning a horse. But it's different with Khiara. He just intends to work on it. A wolf's grin had already appeared on her tiny lips. Rein who recognized the grin suddenly panicked instantly.

Khiara had taken out her phone and dialed-up a number listed on her contact. Rein glared for a moment when he saw the mobile phone that was being swayed Khiara was calling her mother's number in Korea. Rein immediately tried to snatch it, but unfortunately Khiara was more alert than him.

"Don't, please!" Rein begged by cupping his palms together.

She'll be exhausted by her mother, if her mother finds out. Khiara just raised her eyebrows. Alex who was between the two just kept paying attention to the interaction of the two of them while folding his hands in front of his chest and leaning on his chair.

"Gue treat ramen a whole month!" Laughter Rein quickly before the call is connected.

"Geolae!"* Khiara flicked her finger and immediately disconnected her call.

*deal

Rein could breathe a sigh of relief now. The smile of victory was on Khiara's lips.

It turned out that food could tame him, thought Alex who was still observing the two of them.

"It's been a fuss?" Ask the teacher while holding back a laugh.

It seems like only this time there are people who can prank their favorite students. So he gave space to both of them, although a little disturbing his lesson.

Rein is indeed a good and smart child, but his behavior as good as his eyed often makes the lecturers anxious to him.

"Yes ma'am, sorry to interrupt." Said Rein while sitting in his chair.

They immediately continued the lesson. With his chin up, Rein tapped his finger at the table. Khiara who realized the rhythm of her beats spontaneously raised her next to her eyebrows. He turned to Rein and noticed the tap of his finger.

H-E-L-L-B-E-B-A-C-K-S.

Hell be back?? Hell will return? Khiara scrunched her forehead. Ah, he'll be back! A little later Khiara understood what he meant. A faint smile reappeared at the corner of his lips.
