Chapter Text
"Alyssa, we talked about it. It's gonna be okay. I'm sure you'll meet some great friends." Her mom said as they pulled up to the school. "But what if it happens again, I'm really afraid mom." She said while fidgeting with the bracelet she got from her dad before he left this Earth. "I swear everything will be okay. We even moved countries. From Russia to Korea and there won't be anyone you know so you'll be fine,but if you don't like it on the first day we can change schools." She hugged Alyssa and opened the door for her. "Bye mom I love you so much."
She said while leaving out of the car when suddenly she bumped into someone. It was Kim Juhoon, one of the five most popular guys in school. "Omg I'm so so sorry, I'm so clumsy and it's my first day and I'm so sorry" She said while looking down 'cause she was so afraid to look him in the face. " It's fine you don't need to apologise." he said while quietly walking away because he doesn't really care about these stuff. She shouted " Rude!" and also walked away since she saw her mother laughing at her so she eased up a little.
That easy feeling didn't last for long since she forgot her classroom number and started panicking and she saw a random girl and asked her which grade she is and fortunately they were from the same class and she was really nice so she felt a little better again and then the girl said " Hi my name is Soobin, what's your name" " My name is Alyssa" " You have such a pretty name,are you from another country and by the way your Korean is great" "Yes I am, I'm Russian" "THAT'S SO COOL" she yelled "I have always wanted to visit Russia" " Oh trust me there's nothing good about Russia" "Oh, so pictures on the internet are fake :(. We need to hurry to class but our teacher doesn't really care so we'll just apologize."
When they entered the classroom she saw a familiar face. It was Juhoon,the boy who bumped into her. She wanted to die on the spot but she had to introduce herself so dying wasn't an option for her. The teacher told her to introduce herself. She suddenly forgot everything she wanted to say but she saw Soobin cheering for her in the seat so she smiled a little. " Hi my name is Alyssa Rublev. I'm from Russia and I have started learning Korean a year ago so I'm not very good at it, at least I'm trying my best. My hobbies are writing,drawing,reading and listening to music. Nice to meet you all I hope we can get along well." The teacher pointed her to sit with Eom Seonghyeon, Juhoon's friend and also Soobin's twin. She wasn't very happy with the decision but what could she do since she doesn't make the rules. " Don't scare her off twin". Soobin said while laughing. " I'm surprised at how she didn't ran when she saw you" he insulted her back and they started bickering like always so it's no big deal.
The day went fine, she met with the rest of the group and they seemed fine to her and pretty nice but she still didn't like Juhoon because of the morning scene and even tho he said to her that she doesn't need to apologise she felt like something is off with him because he was so unbothered. "Mooooom!" Alyssa said while entering their apartment. "Who's this I don't recognise you at all, in the morning you were all scared and now you're happy tell me what happened". Her mom said excitedly.
" So first I met this super cool nice girl her name is Soobin and then I met her twin and I'm sitting with him for the rest of year and you saw the one who bumped into me, it was totally his fault, right? So to continue him and my deskmate are friends and they have three more friends and two of them transferred like me so they can tell me some advice. I guess it isn't as scary as I thought it would be " Her mom hugged her and playfully said " Are there any pretty boys or girls in your class?" " Mom, I think it's pretty early for this conversation but the guys who bumped into me is so HANDSOME, I wish we can talk more. " " I believe that something will happen just have faith, by the way how is your book going" Her mom asked her. " It's going terrible, I mean I finished it-" her mom interrupted" YOU FINISHED IT, AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME" " Well i mean it was going to be a surprise so I guess surprise, but I don't know how to name it" " I think it's best not to rush so maybe in a month we can come up with a pretty name, now go shower and rest so you can focus on school tomorrow, love you" " Love you too mom"
....
(In Juhoon's house)
" Im home" he said without even paying attention to his parents. " How long are you going to be like this " His mother said with a disappointed look on her face " Look Juhoon, it was a mistake and we all know it, we didn't mean to throw away all your work" " NO" He said a little louder than he was supposed to." It wasn't a mistake and we all know it. You purposely throw it all away since you can't see me being happy for once in my life, why do you even have me as a child when you're not letting me do what I want" He said with tears forming in his eyes. His dad finally stood up and said " Come on be real for once. We all know that art isn't a real career and plus you're a top student in your school shouldn't you be something even bigger in the future" " YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, DRAWING IS WHAT I LOVE AND EVEN IF IT WON'T BE A CAREER I LOVE IT AND WHO ARE YOU TO THROW AWAY MY DREAMS, IT'S TGE SAME AS SINGING, SO YOU DID IT TWICE. YOU'VE DISAPPOINTED YOUR CHILD TWICE WELL GOOD JOB AMAZING PARENTS! " Juhoon stormed into his room while crying and the called Seonghyeon to talk about it since others were busy.
