{ Chinen Highschool }

Cheong Lucian is a student at a school, a model, and a celebrity at a young age.

As the teacher returned to the classroom, he was in the classroom talking with his classmates.

'Teacher: Please return to your seats.' That can be done later.'

'Aww,' say the classmates. Then later again Lucian!'

'Lucian: Mmh.. Yeah.' Smile*

'Teacher: I'm sure you've all heard there's a new student, haven't you?'

'Classmate Girl: Teacher! Raised hand* Is it possible that the transfer student is a new classmate of ours?'

They said, 'Teacher: Yeah,' before gazing down at the phone.

[ Message ]

Teacher: Where are you now?

TS: Infront of the classroom door.

[ End of Message ]

'Teacher: …You can enter now.'

When the Transfer student entered the room, everyone began whispering to one another.

'Classmate Girl: Hey, hey! 'Doesn't the new student look adorable?' Whisper.

They muttered, 'Classmate Girl: He's really cute, but it's a shame he seems so emotionless.'

'Classmate Boys: What a shame, I thought it was a girl,' they murmured.

'Teacher: Ahem! All of you are audible to me.'

When the teacher scolded them, they fell silent.

'My name is Kong Yeoreum, 17 Year's old, and it's a pleasure to meet you all,' says Yeoreum.

'Teacher: If that's all there is to it. You are welcome to sit in that vacant chair.' points out from where is it.

Yeoreum simply nodded and sat down in his chair.

'Teacher: Now go get your textbook and go over everything important in it.'

'??: Put the textbook on Yeoreum desk*'

'Yeoreum: ...? (..Who..?)'

Yeoreum looked at the person who put the textbook in his table.

'Lucian: Whisper* You still don't know anything about it right? So here you go. I mean since you're new here.' smiles*

'Yeoreum: Whisper* Uhmm... y-yeah...but i actually don't need this.'

'Lucian: Whisper* Don't worry i already memorized it all. you go ahead and use it. you're lucky that im your seatmate.'

'Yeoreum: ....Thanks.'

Yeoreum took the textbook and start reading...

[Lunch Break]

'Hoon: Alright let's go Lucian!'

'Lucian: Alright~'

Lucian friends took him to have lunch together.

A bunch of girl's approached lucian and his friends.

'Classmate gurl: Hello~ Your name is Kong Yeoreum right?'

a girl that talking to him sweetly and brightly.

'Choon: My name is Kim Choon-Hee'

'Yeoreum: ..nice to meet you..'

'Girl Classmates: ... Let's go Choon-Hee.'

'Choon: You guy's go first' smiles*

The Girl's left the classroom to let Choon talk to each other.

'Choon: You're really lucky you know?'

'Yeoreum: lucky..?'

'Choon: YEAH! VERY LUCKY! BECAUSE YOUR SEATMATE IS CHEONG LUCIAN! A MODEL AND CELEBRITY!'

'Yeoreum: ...oh.'

'Choon: ... Ah.. what's that look? You.. can't possibly dont know him..do you?'

'Yeoreum: ...'

'Choon: I guess you really don't like talking that much, By the way let's go to Cafeteria! They have so many delicious food there!'

'Yeoreum: Uhm... Textbook..'

'Choon: Textbook? You want to borrow a textbook?'

'Yeoreum: ..This... textbook from.. that celebrity.. Lucian..'

Yeoreum took out the textbook and showed it to her.

'Yeoreum: How... should i return it..?'

'Choon: Oh!! You're worried about that? Don't worry! Just hand it over to Lucian since he lend it to you.'

'Choon: Lucian is a kind person so you don't have to worry about it!'

'Yeoreum: ...kind... then... I'll do that..'

'Choon: Yeah!! Now let's go!'

[ CAFETERIA ]

As they walk towards the cafeteria, many students start whispering to each other seeing Lucian and Choon-Hee walking together.

"Isn't that Choon-Hee? Who's that guy walking with her?" Was on the mind of many people.

'Yeoreum: ( ...This....)'

'Yeoreum: ( ..what the hell... their eyed is on me, who's this girl to get that many attention?..)'

'Choon: Oh yeah. I'll go with my friend's now Yeoreum! See you later in the classroom!'

'Yeoreum; ..yeah.. thanks for bringing me here.. ( I should thank her atleast.)'

'Choon: You're welcome anytime! If you need help just come at me.'

'Yeoreum: ...( I'm not going to do that..)'

'Yeoreum: ( ..Let's hurry up and go eat alone... All the people's attention is on me...)'

Yeoreum hurriedly bought a food before start to walk away to find a quiet place, as he walk up the stairs, he heard talking.

'1st Person: Tsk. Damn that celebrity, that f*cker.'

Yeoreum stop walking up, leaning slightly to hide himself before start listening properly..

'Yeoreum: (.. Celebrity..? do they mean that Cheong Lucian?)'

'2nd Person: Though he's a fool, because of him the girls attention is easily gained, and his money too ah.'

'Yeoreum: ( So.. they only want his fame and wealth? what a bunch of bastards... they remind me of those f*ckers.)'

The two people keep talking to each other as Yeoreum start to notice a shadow from behind him, he turn his head and was shocked when he saw who was it.

'Yeoreum: ( It's Cheong Lucian...!)'

'Yeoreum: ( Damn.. i shouldn't have went this way.. He probably heard their conversation right?)

Yeoreum sigh softly, as Lucian put a finger infront of his mouth and whisper 'Be quiet' before he smiled.

...

Yeoreum: (uh.. this is really awkward, i shall leave now before trouble find me...)

Yeoreum was about to leave but suddenly the two start to talk about him.

2nd: ah, what do you think of the transfer student?

1st: ...? Transfer student? Ohh! You mean that new short guy on our class.

Yeoreum: (im not that short.. now, why are they talking about me?)

Yeoreum: (Nevermind, I'll go in another place)

Lucian stared at Yeoreum back as the teen leave to find a quiet place.

Yeoreum: (This school have a huge difference compared to the previous school i went to..)

Yeoreum arrive at a place where students can't be seen or heard, a tree on his right, shadowing him from the sunlight.

Yeoreum sat on the grass, a window just on top of him where students rarely pass by because of lunch break, perfect for him, who doesn't want attention.

Yeoreum: (This spot will do, I'll just go eat quickly)

Just as he start eating a few students walk pass the window talking about Choon-Hee.

"What do you think are the relationship of the new kid and Choon-Hee?" One of the student ask.

"Unnie-ChoonHee is just probably escorting him, afterall Unnie is the school goddess of this school" The other girl answered.

As the two got far away, their voice got quieter.

Yeoreum sigh softly, (This school are full of popular people, i transferred in the wrong place, god.. i just want to graduate peacefully)..

"Plus, why would the School goddess talk to me?" He murmured.

When the bell rang that indicates that lunch break is over, Yeoreum stand up and come back to the classroom.

Yeoreum look around and saw many people staring at him, (Lucian is also here, what happened earlier was really awkward..)

Yeoreum took out the textbook that lucian lend him and out it on top of the other teen's table.

Yeoreum: uhm, Cheong Lucian, here's your textbook. Thanks for lending it to me earlier.

Lucian look up and smiled, "Really, it's no problem"

Lucian: Plus, you can just call me by my first name, I'm more comfortable with it, also, can i call you Yeoreum?"

Lucian ask Yeoreum.

"Kyahhh! Lucian look so handsome smiling!!"

"I wish im in that seat where the new student is seating, Though i might pass out!!"

Yeoreum blink, (uhm..this)

Yeoreum: (...This is..)

Yeoreum got out of dazed when he heard lucian called him in concern, he look up, his eyes full of coldness. He decided that he doesn't want to be friendly with him.

"Yeah? I'm fine."

Lucian frown before he look at the students, "You guy's don't make him uncomfortable, he's new here so please be easy on him, okay?." He said as the frown was replaced with a smile.

"A-ah, YES!" All of them answered hastily, the school goddess, now the celebrity? What's next?

The teacher came back, and the student sat on their own seat immediately.

Lucian look like he was about to lend him another textbook only to be rejected by Yeoreum.

Yeoreum: "ah, Don't worry about me. I already have mine because i already wrote the important topics and other things before i transferred here." He whispered.

Lucian look at him before nodding and smiled once more.

Yeoreum couldn't help but frown slightly, (He's always smiling, though i can tell that he have a lot of trouble, why bother helping me?)

Yeoreum groan as he look at the front of the class.

(why should i care, I don't want any trouble coming towards me after all. I just hope to graduate peacefully and quietly, also that there's no student know anything about me..) He thought.

Yeoreum couldn't help but shudder when he realized lucian was still looking at him, (Seriously?, Why in god's name is he looking at me??)

-End of classes-

Yeoreum sigh, (Finally)

Choon-Hee: "Bye Yeoreum!~, see you tomorrow!" She said as she waved goodbye.

Yeoreum look up, "Huh? Oh, bye" he said and bowed slightly.

Lucian: "Bye Yeoreum, see you again tomorrow too" lucian said before leaving, a smile plastered in his lips.

Yeoreum blink, "uh, yeah. Bye." He said.

(God, what's up with this two?!) He thought.

Yeoreum arrived at his home, just as soon as he arrive he heard his phone rang, he look down and saw a notification.

[ End of the Call ]

Yeoreum: They seem fine, now i need to change before cooking my food.

...

< Chinen Highschool >

Teacher: I'm now giving you guy's a project. you'll be group into 4 and cooperate with each other.

Yeoreum: (i just hope i will not be grouped to either of them, and be group to a person that only focus on the project)

Teacher: hmm... Group A are going to be Kim Choon-Hee, Cheong Lucian, Ha Seung, Kong Yeoreum.

Yeoreum: (ah, it's seems im in group A–......wait....WHAT?!)

The students start whispering to each other when they heard they would be group together, after the teacher calling out groups and name.

Yeoreum: (What the...What the hell is this?!)

Seung smiled at him as he walked towards him, "Wow~ how nice, oh right! Your name is Yeoreum right? My name is Ha Seung, nice to meet you"

Yeoreum: Uh...yeah.. it's also nice to meet you..

Choon: hmm.. what kind of reference should we use for the project?

Seung: How about a Photo and a Journal? What do you guys think about it?

Lucian hummed in agreement, "I guess that will do, though let's decide who's the leader first. Choon-Hee how about you be the leader?

Choon blink, startled. "Alright then, Yeoreum can you please take the photo's with seung?.. is it okay for you? I'm not going to force you or anything.

Yeoreum: It's alright...(it's a good thing, choon-hee did not group me with either of them)

Lucian: Then Choon-Hee and I are going to do the journal.

Choon: We only have one week to make them, let's go tomorrow to a cafe after school.

Lucian nodded, "Let's exchange numbers then."

Seung grin, "Alright! Im in"

Yeoreum nodded, "I guess that's alright for me.."

After exchanging number, they talk for a while.

- Lunch Break -

Yeoreum: ( I'll go try this dish. )

Yeoreum sat on an empty table as Choon-Hee, Cheong Lucian, Ha Seung went to his table, putting down their own food's before sitting down.

Yeoreum frown, "why are you guys here? I mean, why are you guys sitting beside me??"

Seung: Hm? What do you mean 'why'?, We're on the same group so why not? Could it be you don't want us to be here?

Choon: Not only that, We're friends aren't we? So why not sit here? Also i feel bad for leaving you alone yesterday. So i decided im gonna eat with you.

Seung: and about lucian.. we don't know.. *He look at the other male*

Lucian: Me??.... Let's see.. probably because i find Yeoreum adorable, and a mix of what Choon-Hee and Ha Seung said.

Yeoreum frown in confusion, (Wha–...)

Choon: indeed, Yeoreum is an adorable child.

Yeoreum: Haha... let's.. let's just eat yeah?. (Many students are looking at US!!!)

Choon: Indeed, we should eat already.

After they talk and eat in the cafeteria, the four of the walk back to their classroom while still having a chat with each other.

Seung smile, "Hey, Hey Yeoreum~ Wanna be friends?"

Yeoreum: I.... uh...

Seung: I've always wanted to be friends with you ever since you had transfered here.

Lucian: Don't mind me asking but, do you have friends Yeoreum?

Yeoreum: ..no.. i don't..

The three look at Yeoreum with wide eyes, full of shock. They couldn't believe Yeoreum had no friends..

Choon: oh my poor son. sobs*

Choon start fake crying, "Oh my poor son..."

Yeoreum: I–..Son..??

Lucian: I didn't know that, i apologize for asking something like that, but from now on we're your friends!

Choon: That's right! Let's all be friends!

Yeoreum: (... Friends.. )

The moment when Yeoreum thought of the word 'friend'. he remember his past...

-Flashback-

???: Friend? Huh...? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

???: No one want to be friends with someone like you, a loser. Got that? There will be NO ONE.

-Present-

Lucian: Yeoreum? Hey, are you okay?

Yeoreum: ah... Oh yes.. I'm good.

Seung pat Yeoreum head seeing him dozing off.

Seung: I can be your big brother.

Yeoreum: uhm... No, Thank you.

Seung&Choon: He respond so fast!

Lucian: You guy's stop it, we're already here. Yeoreum if you have any problem just come to us okay?

Yeoreum: ..yeah....

They went inside their respective rooms. They split up after classes to go home, and the next day after school, they went to a cafe to work on their projects.

On the fourth day, Seung and Yeoreum assist each other in locating suitable photographs on the internet.

Choon-hee is preparing a speech for their presentation, while lucian is concentrating on drafting material for their projects.

[DAY 5]

-at the cafe-

Seung: yawns* This is probably enough.. we took so much effort on it.

Choon: Yup it's enough and for now let's relax and wait for Lucian and Yeoreum.

-Meanwhile with Lucian & Yeoreum-

Lucian: Sorry for wearing your mask..

Yeoreum: ..Its okay.. just don't forget to wear your mask next time..

Lucian: There will be next time?

Yeoreum: probably. you're careless afterall.

Lucian: Am i getting scold..?

Yeoreum: .. not really. Now let's go. They're waiting for us.

Lucian: Yes yes.. By the way Yeoreum.

Yeoreum: What is it?

Lucian: You seem much talky than before.

Yeoreum: Oh.. really? flinch*

-Flashback-

???: You talk too much. tsk annoying.

Lucian: But i like that part of you. smiling*

Yeoreum was a little shock and happy inside after hearing those words from Lucian.

Yeoreum: ... stares*

Lucian: D-did i say something wrong?

Yeoreum: it's nothing. let's hurry up.

They continue chatting and walking together.

Yeoreum smile a little knowing that he's happy.

Yeoreum: ( I guess... it's not bad in here afterall.. )

...

Note: In that one part from where Choon-Hee said "Not only that, We're friend's aren't we?" Which mean is only her own liking since she's friendly to everyone and she treat them like her real friends so that's why students calling her GODDESS because she's so kind.
