Work Text:
“Hello,” The new girl greets and bows infront of the class “My name is Kim Jira”
"Nice to meet you, Jira," the teacher says and nods "You may sit next to our class president, Y/n?"
At the mention of your name you raise your hand, pausing your conversation with your friend and pointing to the empty seat beside you
She nods, sitting beside you with a bow "Hello, I'm Kim Jira"
You offered your hand "nice to meet you, I'm Y/n" You grin as she takes your hand “Welcome to SM, hope you like it here, and don’t worry almost everyone is nice”
“Almost?” She asks
“You’ll meet them soon enough,” You shrugged “I’ll give you a tour of SM after homeroom, ok?”
Once homeroom finished you sat up and tapped the new girl’s desk “Ready? SM is a bit big so we’ll have to cut the tour into two parts” You informed “What do you think?”
She nods and stands “Sounds great,” She smiles “Lead the way”
"Ok so lets start with SM's field," You walked slightly ahead turned back to face her as you spoke "this is where we do most, if not all of our outdoor activities,” You explained “There’s a cluster of trees there which is where I like to run off to every now and the if I want to take a nap, but uh, don’t tell anyone” You cleared your throat
You grabbed her wrist to lead her out of the field “Before and After class our varsity players usually go here,” You nodded in the direction of the field “So if your into some hot, sweaty, good-looking, hard-working, sporty eye candy, you can sit by the bleachers and ogle at them”
“What-?” She asked flustered by your choice of words
“Don’t worry, I won’t judge” You laugh and pointed at the group of people gathered
“Y/n!!” A voice yells and you turn at the direction of that only to have a soccer ball land straight to your gut and you double over in pain, kneeling on the ground as you tried to take in deep breaths, Jira gasps and kneels beside you helping you by calling out your name to ground you back to reality as it knocked the wind out of you “Fuck! Y/n are you ok?!” You looked up and caught sight of Lee Jeno, running towards you, you grabbed a fistful of dirt and threw at him making him yelp “Why me!? He did it!” He pointed at a worried looking Jung Sungchan
“Yeah well fuck both of you” You groaned “Sungchan come here and let me pull on your hair”
He winces “I am so so so so so so so Sorry” He says and helps you up “Fuck, I really didn’t mean it”
“Just shh” You said and hid you face to his neck as he helped you balance yourself “Take me to the bathroom or I’m gonna hurl on you”
"What the fuck is wrong with you? You look like shit" Jaemin asks when you walked in the nurse's office an arm on both Jeno and Sungchan
"Aren't you nice" You winced and he walks up to you
"What happened exactly?" He asked with a tilt of his head
"Sungchan" You called so he could explain himself
"I kicked the ball to their stomach" Sungchan whispers
Jaemin snorts and you narrowed your eyes "Sorry, I'll get you something" He says and moves to dig through some medicine
You sigh when you see Jira worriedly look at you "I'm fine, don't worry about me" You smile "While we're here, Guys this is the new kid, Kim Jira, Jira these are one of the varsity players I was saying, Lee Jeno of Section two and Jung Sungchan who is a year younger than us"
She bows and they bow too
"This is the nurse's office, and That is Na Jaemin, he's in our class, he's a volunteer student nurse" You explained as Jaemin returned with cold compress "That's why he wasn't in homeroom"
Jaemin smiles and hands her a lollipop "One for you and another for you" He says and hands one to you aswell "You should be fine, try and not move too much and comeback in thirty minutes, the school nurse should be back by then"
You nod and slowly got off the chair "Come Jira, Sci-Lab is this way" you pointed to the side
"Y/n" Sungchan calls and you turned to look at him "I feel really bad"
You nod " If you feel that way then" You hummed "Buy me lunch" You smile and he lights up and nods
"Anything you want" He agrees
"I'm holding you to that"
Jaemin winks at Jira before giving you one more lollipop "for the road" He jokes and you take it
"Don't push yourself to hard" You said and pat his chest before living
Jeno managed to catch up to you and Jira, you never really noticed until he blocked your path “What are you doing?” You asked
“I followed you, to ask a question” He answered
“Creepy” You note
He laughs “I was gonna ask if anyone will walk you home later?”
You shrugged “I don’t know,” You answered “I don’t keep track of these things”
“So no one then?” He grins that eye smile that you could practically feel Jira lean on you when her legs weakened at the sight “So I’ll walk you home ok?”
“You live in the opposite direction”
“So?”
You stared at him as he waits for your answer “Fine”
He grins and nods “Wait for me” He instructed and smiled at Jira “I’ll buy you ice cream on the way” He promises and ran back where he came from
"You're all red and blushy" You noted, sucking on the lollipop
Jira looks at you red and embarassed "Sorry I was just surprised"
You laugh "Good looking people aren't they?" You teased, She nods "But so far we've only met three of the school heart throbs, and so far, who do you fancy?" You asked
She thinks for a moment "Jaemin?" She hums
You nod "Almost everybody likes that guy" You laugh "Its not impossible to meet other good looking guys, so try not to keep your heart by your sleeve" You pointed at the sci-lab "Here lets go here first before I take you to my favorite sleep spot"
“So this is our Sci-Lab, as the name implies, we do experiments here and most of our science classes we go here” You explained
“What’s that?” she says pointing at the end side of the lab where a couple of experiments were out, she approaches them to examine it
“Oh that’s something you shouldn’t touch” You quickly informed and she took a step back “That’s the final work of our seniors, We’ll be doing that next year too, The start around the end of third year and they pass it at the end of fourth year. So don’t touch that if you don’t want a senior as an enemy”
“They’re right” A voice says ad you both whip your heads to look at the boy who entered from the uniform, Jira could tell they were your seniors and you both bow in greeting “You shouldn’t touch that” She looks down, intimidated by the presence
“Don’t scare her Mark” A voice walks in after him “She’s kinda cute, you new here?”
Jira nods “Yes, Y/n is showing me around”
Before you could speak you felt someone engulf you in a hug “Y/n!”
“Hey Lucas” You said and pat his chest “Let me go” He whines and hugs you tighter, making you gasp once you remember the pain in your stomach
Mark notices and pries Lucas’ frame off you “Stop it dude, they’re in pain”
Lucas lets go and you gasped “Fuck?” You asked as Jira walks up to you to help you up
“What happened?” Lucas asked panicked “Did I do that?”
“No,” You answered and stood up “Sungchan gutted me”
Mark snorts “Tell him nice aim”
“Fall down the stairs” You shot back throwing him a look and your middle finger “Anyway, Jira, these are our seniors, Mark Lee, he’s an exchange student from Canada and Lucas Wong from Hong Kong” You motioned to the boys who smiled and bowed
“For someone who pretends they don’t care about me you seem to know a lot about me” Mark flirts and you roll your eyes
“Hi pretty” Lucas greets the girl beside you
“And this is Kim Jira” You introduced “She’s new, so do me a favor and try and not flirt with her for the next twenty four hours?”
Mark laughs and Lucas rolls his eyes but grinned “Guilty aren’t you Mark?”
“I’m talking about you Lucas” You answered and he gasps “Any questions?” You asked looking at Jira and she motions to one of the machines “Oh that’s a lovely one, come I’ll show you how it works” You grabbed her hand to lead her to what she was curious about
After showing her you hummed “I’ll show you the library next” You declared “Its my favorite spot to sleep in” You said matter-of-factly
“You’re supposed to study in library’s Y/n, Its rude to sleep there” Mark murmurs as he adjust the microscope
“Its rude to listen in on other people’s convo, Mark” You said with a little distaste on his name
He smirks “Do me a favor?” He asks and you nod “Tell Renjun I want my money back, the little gremlin still hasn’t payed me back yet”
“Hasn’t it been a month?”
“Yup”
“Noted,” You began and offered your hand to Jira “Let’s go”
“Thank you” Mark calls out “I owe you one”
You grin and spun around to look at Mark “Then The thing I asked you”
“Done” Mark agrees “Only if I get my money back” You nod and turned to lead Jira out of the place “Its a date!” He calls out again but you ignored him
“You got a date with Y/n?” Lucas asks with a face
Arriving in the library, "You're gonna need the school's library card to check out some books, but you can only apply for one once you get your school ID" You informed and lead her through the shelves "So maybe, by next week, once you get your ID, I'll help you get a library card, Ok?"
She stares and nods "OK, Thank you"
"Also," You added "Its actually required to borrow three books per quarter" You informed when she stopped to look through one that catches her eyes "So if you want to borrow some and you don't have a library card yet, I'll lend you mine"
"Really?" She asks and you nod "than, can I borrow this?"
You nod, "You don't want more?"
"No, I'm good" She smiles and you lead her to the counter
By the counter sat a good looking student, with his faded silver dyed hair, glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, who was fiddling with his phone
"Excuse me," Jira calls and places the book down in front of him and he looks at her "Can I borrow this book please?"
He tilts his head and takes it "Card?" He asks with an extension of his hand
You hand yours “Your hair is fading”
"Y/n" He greets with a nod " I know, been wanting to color it again anyway. What color do you recommend?” He looks down at the card “This is yours, why not hers?"
"She's new" You answered "Just use mine" you paused a second “Brown”
“I did that color last time” He snorts and scans the ID "You know this doesn't count for you right? You still need to borrow three books and she only needs two"
"Yes, I know, I'm not stupid" You huffed “Brown suits you”
He nods in acknowledgement at the color you suggested before he looks at Jira "debatable" he murmurs
"Hey!" You raised your voice "Huang Renjun"
He raises his hands in defeat and surrender before asking her to sign something so the borrowed book would go to her requirements
“Here you go, lovely” He states and hands her her book and you your card “And for you Love”
“No” You said and grabbed it making him laugh, Jira couldn’t help but stare at him openly, which of course didn’t go unnoticed by the boy “I’ll melt if you keep staring at me like that”
She blushes, hugging the book closer, “I didn’t mean to”
He laughs again “Its fine, someone as handsome as me should always be stared at”
“This is Huang Renjun, an exchange student from China” You introduced ignoring his statement “He’s the class pres for Section two, he has a lot of fans so ignore him when he gets too full of himself” She bows “or you could hit him, I’ll back you up, actually I encourage you to hit him”
“Y/n’s right, well except for the hitting me part” He adds “And look, despite having so many fans I still remain loyal to the one who own my heart.” He looks at you with a soft smile “Right Y/n?”
You rolled your eyes “Come on I’ll show you the clubs” You said pushing Jira out the door. You stopped and looked at Renjun “Oh, um before I forget, Mark wants his money back”
He looks surprised “I was going to” He says offended “Now, I don’t think I will, out of spite”
You laugh “Don’t be a brat”
“Maybe if you call me love” He offers
You roll your eyes again “You’ve been spending too much time with Donghyuck” was your only reply and lead Jira out of the library
“This is what we call the club hall,” You began “named so because most of the clubs are located here,” You started listing them down “We have the Cinema, Singing, Dancing, Theatre, Student Council, Debate, Cooking, Book, School Newspaper, not necessarily in that order”
She gasps “All of this in this hallway?”
You nod “yup” You smile “Come on I’ll introduce you”
After a while, you had to physically drag Jira away from the the theatre members “That was fun wasn’t it?” You tease and she cradles the books to her chest even more “The theatre kids are always so excited”
“They’re so excited” She murmurs and laughs “makes me wonder what club Jaemin and Renjun is in”
You looked at her and raised an eyebrow “Why gonna join them?” You tease and she blushes “If I remember correctly Jaem is part of the cooking club and Renjun is part of the Singing club”
She hums “and you?”
“Debate” You answered “Why wanna join us?”
She quickly shakes her head “Isn’t being in the debate club scary?”
“No” You answered “just intimidating”
“Yeah, no” She says “I’m scared”
You laughed and lead her to the next room “This is the dance club’s room,” You informed and she nods, you can even hear the soft beat of someone practicing inside “Hey it seems like someone is practicing right now”
You all entered the room to be greeted by two people practicing, you both watched quietly until the song ends and you both clapped “Isn’t it a bit too early to practice?”
One of them stops and turns to look at you “Y/n” He greets and smiles “What are you doing here?”
“Touring” You answered
“You need help with anything?” Asks the other guy and you smiled brightly shaking your head
“You smile brighter when you talk to Shotaro Hyung” Says the first guy with a pout
“They like me better” Shotaro teases
“No they do not!”
“I actually like Jira more” You confessed and they stopped “While they’re quiet, let me introduce you to Osaki Shotaro, he’s a Japanese exchange student he’s in section three, and that other one is Park Jisung one of our best dancers and two years younger than us”
Jira perked up “Oh, you’re a freshman?”
Jisung nods and smiles, you snorted when you hear Jira exclaim how cute he was
“Don’t let his cuteness fool you” You informed “He has a lot of fangirls in this school”
“Did you just call me cute?” Jisung asks and Shotaro laughs
“Shotaro has a lot of fans too,” you informed her “You’ll see later lunch”
“No I do not!” He quickly defended, he opened his mouth to defend himself only to stop when the familiar tone of the bell signalling the next class has rung
“We gotta go” You started and stood up “Come on Jira I’ll show you the rest later, as for you two” You pointed at the boys who looked at you “Get back to class”
The class was boring and you hated every second of it, you were pretty good in this class so you never made any extra attempt to get any better
So through out the class you just sat there and doodled in your notebook to look as if you were writing notes. You didn’t even realize the class was over ‘till some students said goodbye to the teacher
Taking that as an opportunity you turn to look and smile at Jira who was in the middle of making friends, “Jira” You called and she turned to look at you “Do you have a place to sit at later lunch?”
She thinks for a moment and shakes her head “No, not yet”
You nod “Perfect” You smile “Sit with us?”
“Us?” She asks and you nod
“My friends and I”
“Is it really ok?”
“Yeah” You answered but she didn’t seem convinced so you looked for your friend ‘till you spot Junghoon “psst, yah Han Junghoon” You tried but he didn’t even react and resumed flirting with his girlfriend, so you looked back at Jira “Wait”
You grabbed your notebook and rolled it up leaning your seat forward so you can reach his head and smacking him, making him yell and look at you “Fuck you” He says, balling his fists to whoever did that to him “Y/n!”
“Your the idiot that focused on your girlfriend” You shot back laughing
Arim, another friend of yours, started laughing as you and Junghoon fought “That was funny” She says wiping the tears
“What do you want?” Junghoon asks
“I invited Jira to sit with us” You informed and they looked at the new girl who looked frightened
“Sure” Arim answered and smile “Welcome to the group
Junghoon nods “Cool, see you there” He says and looks at you, rolling his own notebook “Now its my turn” He says and attempts to hit you himself only for you to run away
Right when he caught you and was about to hit you the next teacher walked in “Alright everybody settle down”
Everyone scattered to sit down and so were you, pushing Junghoon’s hand away so you could walk and when you arrived at your seat Junghoon decided to hit you right there making you gasp, it was loud both your reaction and the smack that it made everyone stop and stare at you
“L/n?” The teacher began and you shake your head as Junghoon tries to stifle a laugh while you threatened to punch him when the teacher turns around again
You turned to look at Jira who tried to stop herself from laughing at the scene
This specific class was one of the hardest class you’ve ever encountered, so you kinda, had to pay attention and listen to the discussion
Or atleast that was the plan ‘till someone knocked on the door, and in popped a familiar boy, with his barely visible Dyed Orange hair, poked his head in “Hi sir” He greeted “May I excuse L/n Y/n for the student council?”
You pursed your lips when he looked at you as you motioned to the teacher and he shrugs
“Ahh yes,” The teacher begins “Zhong Chenle, right?”
“Yes sir” He answers
“What did we say about your hair?”
Chenle smiles “Its fading sir” He answered “It should be gone by next week”
The teacher sighs and places the chalk down “L/n Y/n, you were summoned” He began and you nod, standing up and tapping Arim’s seat
“Continue Jira’s tour after this class” You informed and she nods before you walked out and followed Chenle out of the classroom
“Who is that?” Jira leans forward to where Junghoon was reading his text book
“The guy?” He asks and Jira nods “Zhong Chenle, a Chinese exchange student, he’s also the second year’s student representative. Like Y/n is with us third years”
Jira nods
“You’ll like Chenle, if you’re in to cute dudes who could light up the room with a giggle” He answers and one of the guys snorts
“You sound like you’re the one who’s into guys like that”
He throws his pencil case at her
You happily skipped into the lunch room, excited to get your free lunch from Sungchan.
“Here” He says and places the tray on your table “I’m really sorry about this morning, are you sure you don’t want anything else?”
You happily started eating the food “Its all good now” Assuring him with a pat on his knee
“You got the cheapest thing on the menu” Sungchan whines and nods in thanks when one of your friend moved so he can sit beside you “I can get you something more expensive then that” he says and sits
“The price of the food doesn’t equal to its taste, Sungchan” Says a new voice and you all were met eyes with who Jira recognized as Zhong Chenle "I heard Sungchan nailed you in the stomach" He snorts and taps on Jira’s shoulder making her move and he plops beside you back against the edge of the table
You sigh, "Chan," You called out and he straightens "nail him in the stomach too"
"Well if Y/n’s says so-" Sungchan starts and preteds to stretch “Who am I to say no?”
"Try it and I'll make your school life hell" Chenle warns, Placing a drink on the table infront of you "I got you this, think of it as a get well soon drink"
"Don't drink that trash" Jaemin yells and goes to you grabbing the drink and tossing it back to Chenle "Have this instead" You laughed when Chenle glares at Jaemin.
"They're close" Jira notes leaning towards Junghoon
"You haven't seen the best part yet" Junghoon answers and nods into your direction who was eating ignoring the bickering between Renjun, Mark and Chenle
"You're gonna let Jaem talk about your go to drink like that Mark?" Lucas enters the scene a tray in his hand
"I'd attack if he already I didn't need him to heal Renjun since the brat still hasn't given me back my money" Mark answers and sits across from you
"Jira, sit with us" Arim calls from the side "You wont be able to stay by Y/n’s side at all" And practically drags the new girl their side of the table
“What do you mean?” She asks letting the girl drag her “Why are are they suddenly crowding them?”
“This is a regular thing” Junghoon assures
“Guys I’m eating” You said when Shotaro accidentally elbowed your back when he was talking to Sungchan
“Shit-” He starts as Jisung just points and laugh
“Seriously, I know you all like me but this is stupid let me eat” You sighed and dropped your spoon with a clang. They all stopped moving and looked at you as you stared at your plate “Sit down” You commanded and they all immediately obeyed with Sungchan and Chenle taking your sides and and Mark and Lucas taking the spot infront of you, everyone else managed to find a place to sit, that Jaemin and Renjun were smiling and flirting with the new girl, two or three seets to the left. While the others sat by your right, passed Sungchan. Only then did you resume eating.
“Y/n will you be coming with me later?” Mark asks after you visibly relaxed
“Oh-” You started but Jeno speaks up
“I thought I’ll walk you home?”
“Since when was it you’re turn?” Lucas hissed
Jeno raises his hand and ignores Lucas “You said you’ll come with me” He starts looking at you, his bottom lip jutting out
“I want to walk them home too” Shotaro adds on
“Stop that” You laughed when the conversation drifted to that “I just asked Mark to buy something for me-”
“I can buy it for you” Chenle cuts in
“In Canada” You continued and you watched with amusement as he deflates
There was a series of gasps coming from behind you, making the boys to take a peak only to either cover their face, or slam their heads against the table with a sigh
“What?” Jira asks at the sigh as Junghoon sigh rubbing his temple “What is going on?”
“This happens more often than you think” He says
Jaemin sigh again “Every damn time, Hyuck”
You paused, resisting the urge to roll your eyes at the name, might as well get this over with. You turned in place meeting the brown eyes of an old friend, Kneeling infront of you, three roses in his hands as he looks up at you, leaning forward “Hello~”
You looked him up and down “Hyuck”
He offers the roses “You look drop dead gorgeous, My heart”
You narrowed your eyes
“I know what your thinking- ‘Why is this beautiful thin kneeling infront of me again?‘ Well to answer your question.” He clears his throat “I love you” He starts and from your peripheral vision you could see Jira and some other people in the cafeteria (despite this not being the first were still surprised) “And before you ask, I’m not exactly sure why, I mean, why do I like having pineapples on pizza? I don’t know why either. To me your like that pineapple, I want to see you, and I’d prefer to always have you, I don’t know when or how or why, but for some reason you became my favorite thing”
You blinked, ‘That was new’ you thought to yourself
“So what do you say?” Offering the flowers again “Date me?”
“No” You answered and he hangs his head “Are you done?”
He looks up at you before pouting and standing back up “You could’ve pretended to think about it”
“You do this whenever you get a chance” You sighed and pushed the flowers back to him
“I got these for you” he says and shoves them to your arms
“Hyuck-” You complained and gave it back to him “Giving me the flowers or not, I’ll still scold you”
He looks at you taken a back “What-?”
“Its lunch” You said and sighed “You’re late by like half the school day”
He groans “First you reject me and now you’re scolding me”
Jira stares at the exchange “This is normal-?”
“Oh yeah” Ahrim answers
“Sungchan, move” Hyuck says so he can occupy the seat beside you
“No” He answers
“Y/n!”
You closed your eyes at the mention of your name “Sungchan just move please”
He jabs a finger at Hyuck’s chest “He always gets to sit beside you”
“And I always will” Hyuck adds on, pushing the finger away “Perks of being the favorite”
“Also the very reason why they keep rejecting you” Mark adds on
“Atleast I got the balls to confess,” Hyuck hissed and sits at the space Sungchan provided “Which is a lot more than anyone in this table has ever been able to do”
“Last time I checked didn’t they made it clear they had no plans in dating any of us?” Renjun cuts in
“I confessed,” Jaemin provided “So did Jeno, and didn’t you?”
Shotaro nods “I think Jisung did too”
“I was planning too” Jisung answers
The words started mixing together as they continued bickering about who confessed, when and if you’ll accept them
“Y/N!” They whined and called out to you
You sighed “I’m really starting to hate my name”
