Chapter Text
Seungsik is standing in front of a large gate. He breathe deeply before entering the gate. It is in middle of the school year when Seungsik transferred to this school. He doesn’t have any choice since his father received a promotional transferred in his work.
As Seungsik walks towards the entrance of the school, he bump into one the student. ‘He is not supposed to be here during this time’ Seungsik thought.
“I’m sorry.” Seungsik apologized to the boy.
The boy looked at Seungsik. The way he looks at Seungsik is like piercing through Seungsik’s soul.
“It’s ok. Be careful next time and watch where you’re going.” The boy said to Seungsik and walks out.
‘He has strong aura around him, but he’s he doesn’t looks like a scary bully type of guy’ Seungsik thought and walks right into the building.
“You’re Kang Seungsik?” A teacher asked him who’s supposed to be her teacher.
“Yes, that’s me. Please take care of me.” Seungsik politely said and bowed.
“Yes. Yes. I’m Han Sunhwa. I’m in-charge of teaching Mathematics and I’ll be you’re homeroom adviser.” She smiled brightly at Seungsik. “I know it’ll be difficult to bond with your other classmates since it’s the middle of the school year and they already have peer groups but I hope you’ll be able to adopt.”
“I’m kind a prepared myself for that Ms. Han.” Seungsik chuckled.
“And about that, the students call me Ms. Sunhwa, I think you can also call me that.” She said to Seungsik then his gaze slowly turned to someone behind Seungsik.
“Oh, Chan you’re here! Right timing!”
Seungsik looked behind and slightly moved to his left so Ms. Sunhwa can see Chan.
“Noon— I mean, Ms. Sunhwa, why did you call for me?” The guy called Chan asked.
“I want you to meet Seungsik. He just transferred to our school due to his father’s work. He will be in our class, so please tour him around, guide him and be his friend. Understood?” Ms. Sunhwa ordered Chan.
“I don’t have a choice, do I?” Chan laugh lightly. “Roger that, Ms. Sunhwa.” Chan said while making a sloppy salute to his teacher.
“I’m Chan. Whether you like or you like it, I’ll be your first friend here.” Chan turned to Seungsik and reach out his hand.
“Seungsik. Please take care of me.” Seungsik grabs Chan’s hand for a hand shake.
“You don’t need to be that formal around me. We’re friends after all.” Chan winked at Seungsik that makes him a little flustered.
“Chan-ah, don’t do that. You’re gonna scare Seungsik away. Now, you’re both dismissed.” Ms. Sunhwa while holding her laugh.
While Chan and Seungsik walking in the corridor, they’re having small talks.
“So, Seungsik. Are you the ‘I’m-gonna-study-all-day’ type or the ‘don’t-touch-me-or-you’ll-be-dead-meat’ type?
Seungsik can’t help but laugh at Chan’s question. “More like a normal type.” Seungsik answered.
“Seems like the ‘I-will-not-get-mad-at-you-no-matter-what-you-do’ type.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“It’s a long term for a nice and kind type of student.”
“You should just said that in the first place.”
“That would be boring, you know!”
“So you’re the ‘I-know-they-think-it’s-funny-so-I’ll-gonna-say-it-but-they-don’t-want-to-admit-it’s-funny’ type?”
“What was that?!?”
“It means you’re the I-like-dad-joke type.”
“Hey! That’s not fair! I gave you a compliment a while ago and you gave me that?!”
Seungsik can’t help but laugh his heart out because of Chan’s reaction.
“He got you there, Chan hyung!”
“Yeah! Yeah! That’s right on the mark!”
Seungsik looked at the guys who suddenly speak out of nowhere.
“I haven’t seen you around. Are you new here?”
A tall boy, taller than Seungsik asked.
“Ah yes. I just transferred here and today is my first day here. I’m Kang Seungsik. I’ll be in the same class as Chan.” Seungsik introduces him to the 3 unknown guys.
“That’s why! I’m Choi Byungchan, I’m in class 2-3” the tall boy introduced himself.
“I’m Do Hanse.” A very cold and intimidating looking boy said. “I’m in the same class as this giraffe here. Oh by the way, do you sing? I’m looking for someone to record my song. Seungwoo hyung doesn’t want to sing right now ‘cos he’s being edgy these days. I don’t even know why. You see I write and produce songs, so if you sing————-“
Hanse wasn’t able to finish what he wants to say because Byungchan stopped him by covering his mouth.
“Don’t mind Hanse. He’s just in need of some sort of attention right now.” A handsome boy said. “I’m Im Sejun. I’m in class 2-1. So can we call you Seungsik hyung?”
Seungsik was quite taken aback by Sejun’s question. “Uhm, sure.” Seungsik nodded awkwardly.
“Don’t worry hyung, it may be awkward now, but you’ll get used to it since you’re friends with Chan hyung, we’re gonna see each other frequently.” Sejun said while smiling at Seungsik, showing his cute dimples.
Seungsik’s first day in his new school ended in a blink of an eye. It’s now their last subject and their teacher decided to dismiss them early.
“Seungsik-ah. Do you have any plans after school?” Chan sits in the vacant chair in front of Seungsik.
“Hmm, I’ll go straight home, I guess. Why?”
“They want to hang out after class and celebrate your admission here.” Seungsik looks confusion. “And when I say ‘they’ I meant Sejun. He wants us to all go out.”
“I see. Well, I’d love to.” Seungsik said. “I also want to go around the town.”
“Ok! It’s settled then!”
As Chan and Seungsik fixing and preparing their things, Chan saw a familiar boy outside the corridor. He rush out of the room and approach the boy.
“Yah! Where have you been all day? I’ve been looking all over for you!”
The boy shrugs. “You know I’m still doing my community service as punishment, right?”
“Oh yes! I forgot about that.” Chan slowly scratches his head. “And oh! I’ll introduce you to someone.”
Chan went inside the room to get Seungsik. He drags Seungsik outside the corridor.
“This is Kang Seungsik, he just transferred here today. He’s in our class. He already met the others.” Seungsik looks at the boy who looks somehow familiar.
‘I think I already saw him somewhere.’ Seungsik thought.
“Han Seungwoo.” The boy introduces himself just like that and reaches his hand to Seungsik.
“Kang Seungsik.” Seungsik grabs Seungwoo’s hand for a handshake. “AHH! I remember now!” Seungsik exclaimed that leads both Seungwoo and Chan to be surprised a little.
“What is it?” Chan asked.
“Don’t you remember?” Seungsik asked Seungwoo. “I bumped into you this morning. Don’t you remember?”
Seungwoo just nod and forming ‘ahh’ in his mouth.
“What a coincidence! He’s also part of our circle. Though he looks like someone who would kill you in an instant, he is a good boy. Don’t be intimidated by him.” Chan said to Seungsik.
“You know, I can kill this instant Chan.” Seungwoo said in a cold voice.
Seungsik is quite startled by Seungwoo’s threat while Chan seems unaffected by Seungwoo’s words.
“And you also know that you always say that me and it doesn’t have any effect on me anymore.” Chan pats Seungwoo’s shoulder. He looks at his phone. “They’re waiting for us in front of the gate. Let’s go now, slowpokes.”
