More Than Just Classmates Chapter 1

*Action* ( thinking ) { correction } Cold tone ❄️ Speaking.

Seo Yujin stood in front of the song family's gate, her school bag perfectly in place, one hand tapping impatiently against her thigh.

Seo Yujin

Haneul, we're going to be late. Again. *glance at her watch for the third time.*

Suddenly the front door brust open with a girl coming out of it in a hurry. A bread stuffed in her mouth, trying to speak while still munching on it.

Song Haneul

Mmm–! Im run ! Lelis goo ! { I'm done! Let's go! }

She stumbled out, still half-tying her shoelaces, crumbs falling from her lips.

Seo Yujin

You're unbelievable.

Just as they were about to walk off, a voice boomed from behind.

Lee [Haneul’s mom]

Song Haneul!

They froze. Yujin already knew what was coming.

Mrs. Song marched over, holding Haneul’s school bag like a weapon. Without warning, she grabbed her daughter by the ear and twisted.

Song Haneul

Ow, ow, ow–Mom!

Lee [Haneul’s mom]

Going to school without your bag? what do you think you’re going to study with, air?!

Seo Yujin

*covers her mouth, trying not to laugh.*

Song Haneul

It's the first day of the semester, I thought we’d just... you know... ease into it—Ow!

Mrs. Song shoved the bag into her arms.

Lee [Haneul’s mom]

Go! Before I come with you and drag you to your classroom myself.

Haneul grumbled but grabbed Yujin’s wrist, dragging her down the street.

By the time they reached school, the front gate was already shut tight.

Seo Yujin

*Hands on hips* See? This is why we can’t walk slow.

Song Haneul

*grinning* Relax we've done this before.

Without waiting, she pulled Yujin toward the back of the school building.

Seo Yujin

Don't tell me—

Song Haneul

Yep.

They reached the familiar brick wall, slightly scuffed from years of "shortcuts." Haneul climbed first, swinging herself over with practiced ease, then leaned back down.

Song Haneul

Come on. I'll help.

Yujin sighed, but she took Haneul’s hand anyway. Her foot slipped for a movement, but Haneul caught her steady.

Seo Yujin

You could at least pretend this isn’t illegal.

Song Haneul

It's tradition.

They crept through the back corridor toward their classroom’s rear door. Yujin slid it open just enough to peek inside—

Shin Dahye

Teacher! Haneul and Yujin are sneaking in again!

Every head turned. Yujin sighed. Haneul muttered something under her breath.

Kim Nari [Teacher]

Song Haneul. Seo Yujin. First day of the semester, and you’re late? ❄️

Song Haneul

It's only... a little late.

Kim Nari [Teacher]

Fine for you again, Haneul. And don’t think I've forgotten last semester’s record.

Haneul groaned loudly, slumping into her seat while Yujin sit beside her, keeping her head down.

Song Haneul

*Whispering* Okay hear me out.

Song Haneul

*Whispering* I’ll work at the convenience store for a week and place the money there again, you'll just have to help me get the money from the—

Seo Yujin

No.

Song Haneul

I swear I'll place there like alway—

Seo Yujin

No.

Haneul leaned closer, putting on her best puppy eyes.

Song Haneul

Yuuujin... help mee. Pleaasee.

Seo Yujin

ugh you’re impossible.

To be continued.
