It was never easy sending off your child on their first day of school.  Mr. Park remembers the day he took his daughter to her first day of kindergarten class. She barely reached up to his waist and he remembers her clinging onto his legs tightly, scared and nervous about entering the new world of kindergarten. She had a backpack as big as she was and two pigtails styled in her hair, since that was the hairstyle he always fixed up for her since the poor little child didn’t know how to fix it on her own. He also remembers watching her walk, timidly but not looking back and only facing forward as she walked into the classroom, ready to be on her own. It was a very emotional moment, he had to admit. That exact moment is when you know your child is growing up and you can’t do anything but stand there and watch them make a person of their own, no matter how much you want them to stay as little as possible and in your arms forever.

Here he was redoing that own scene over again, except this time, he was sending her off to somewhere way more extreme than kindergarten. He was sending her off to the place that determined her future; college.

“Dad, I’ll be fine. Trust me.” Soeun looked at her father, who was on the verge of crying, with a soft smile on her face. She wrapped her petite arm around his shoulder and gently rubbed it in comfort, a soft chuckle escaping from her lips. “Dad, don’t cry! You’ll make me cry too.”

The man looked down at his precious and beautiful daughter and smiled proudly at the person she has become. “Are you sure you don’t want me to help you bring your stuff up to your dorm? You did bring a lot and I’m sure you’ll be needing an extra hand and I—“

“Dad,” Soeun interrupted him, not rudely but softly. “For the last time, I’m fine. Don’t worry, I’m a big girl aren’t I?”

A tired sigh came out of his lips and he stared at his daughter in adoration before nodding his head, “You’re right. You’re absolutely right. You’re a big girl who is capable of doing your own things. You’re a big girl….who doesn’t need her daddy anymore.” He said, his voice cracking on the last sentence.

Soeun playfully rolled her eyes at the words of her father and let out a laugh, “Oh dad, you’re too dramatic.”

“I’m just going to miss you, Hon.” He truthfully said and caressed her soft, long beautiful hair.

The girl smiled lovingly at her dad, “I’m going to miss you too, Daddy.”

He checked the time on his watch before ticking his tongue. “It’s almost 2 o’clock. Let’s get you into the campus, shall we?”

Soeun grinned as she let him lead her towards the gates of the campus. As they arrived, he brought her into a side hug, the young girl gladly resting her head on his shoulder. “I guess this is it, huh?” She snorted a little at him, “You’re acting like I’m going away forever.”

“Well, you will be gone for a long time…”

“Daaaad,” Soeun whined. He was only making it harder to say goodbye, or, ‘see you soon’ as she likes to say it.

He held his hand up in surrender and let out a laugh, “Okay, okay! I’ll stop now jeez. Am I not allowed to miss my daughter when she’s away?” When he saw that she was just staring at him, he chuckled and ruffled her hair. “Alright, I’m leaving now. Goodbye my baby girl. See you soon, alright?”

Soeun laughed when he set her in a headlock, “Bye daddy, I’ll see you soon.” She watched how he released her and started to walk away. She didn’t look away until he was completely out of sight, and when he was she let out a sigh. She was definitely going to miss him.

Soeun was really glad that her dad had agreed on her staying at the school dorms, but at the same time she was really nervous. Ever since she was little, Soeun wasn’t really good at making friends. Having to live with random people is something she isn’t really ready for. She was just lucky that her best friend was attending this school too.

As soon as Soeun arrived at her assigned dorm room, her hands were shaking with nervousness and her heart was beating fast with anticipation. She was mostly worried about how her roommate will turn out. What if they don’t get along with each other? That was the thing that worried her the most. She didn’t want to live with someone she can’t stand.

She took a deep breath before unlocking the door and opening it. Almost immediately, she saw heads turn her way, Soeun counted 4 of them. She was afraid that they were going to greet her with glares, but to her surprise they all smiled brightly and excitedly at her.

“Oh!” One of the girls squealed. “You must be our new roommate, am I right?” Before Soeun could even answer, the girl let out a small giggle. “Don’t answer that, of course you are. You wouldn’t be here if you weren’t, right?”

Soeun laughed softly at her friendliness, “Well, unless I’m at the wrong dorm… Is this room,” She paused a little to check the room number on the email the school sent her. “2104?”

Another girl with a baby face and a bright, pretty smile hopped off the couch and made her way towards Soeun. “Yup! You’re at the right room. And yay! That means we’re roommates!”

“We’ve been dying to meet you.” Another girl, that strangely reminded Soeun of a teddy bear, said.

Another girl, who was way beyond pretty, flashed a smile at her. “Come sit down and let’s do introductions.” She suggested a little quietly. It gave off the impression that she was a calm and mature person.

Soeun was hesitant at first, but in the end dragged her luggage inside the dorm room and went to sit down on the couch in between her and the baby faced girl. These girls seemed nice…

“Here, I’ll start!” The girl who first spoke said. “I’m Wendy!” She said with a friendly smile on her face. “It’s really nice to meet you.”

The baby faced girl beside Soeun started, “I’m Sooyoung, but all my friends call me Joy! Since we’ll be roommates and friends, you can call me that too.”

The teddy bear girl who sat across from Soeun flashed her an eye smile before speaking, “Hi, I’m Seulgi!”

The girl who sat on the other side of her smiled, “I’m Joohyun, but like Joy, you can call me Irene.”

After they were all done introducing themselves, Soeun shyly smiled at them. “It’s really nice to meet you all. I’m Soeun.”

Joy squealed happily and clapped her hands in joy (lol, pun not intended). It kind of shocked Soeun how happy they were to meet her, but at the same time she felt relieved that all of the girls seemed like nice and sweet girls who were easy to get along with. “You know, we were really excited to meet you.”

Seulgi nodded in agreement, “Yeah! You see, us four have been friends ever since middle school so we were excited to have a new person in our lives.”

Soeun didn’t really have anything to say about that so she just smiled a little at them and nodded her head.

Irene saw the little uneasy look on Soeun’s face and placed her hand on the girl’s shoulder, “Hey look, I promise you there’s no need to feel insecure or felt out with us, okay? I know we just met but, we’re going to be roommates and I’m sure we’re going to be great friends too, so even if us four have been together for a while, it’s going to be like you were there with us since then too.”

Soeun smiled softly at Irene’s kind words. “T-Thanks.”

“Now,” Wendy suddenly spoke up. “Let’s discuss roommates.”

-

Three hours have passed and Soeun was finally down to her last luggage to unpack. It would’ve taken her a longer time with the amount of stuff she brought with her, but the other girls helped her out. There were 3 rooms in the dorm, and in the end Soeun was paired with Seulgi and Joy while Wendy and Irene were in the room right next to theirs. The five girls also decided that they would leave the last room for future purposes.

Soeun was emptying out her last luggage, with Seulgi helping her, while the three other girls were laying on her bed watching some drama on TV when her phone vibrated. Soeun immediately smiled when she saw who it was and the four girls caught her action.

“Oooh, Soeun, who are you texting? Your boyfriend?” Seulgi, who was the closest to her, asked as she tried to read the messages on her phone.

Soeun laughed as she hid her phone from the girl, “Oh, no, no. It’s not my boyfriend. I, erm, I don’t have a boyfriend...”

“Oh, really?” Wendy asked. “Then why were you smiling like Lee Minho just texted you or something?”

Soeun rolled her eyes, “My best friend just texted me. He wants to meet me at the school café in 30 minutes. I haven’t seen him in like, 6 years so I’m just excited to see him again.”

“Oh, okay, yeah sure. ‘Best friend’, more like boyfriend.” Joy teased.

Soeun laughed as she grabbed a pillow and threw it at the young girl’s face.

“Wait, you haven’t seen your best friend in 6 years?” Irene asked of curiosity.

Soeun nodded her head, “Yeah, he moved to a different city when we were young so I didn’t get to see him anymore. But every day he would call me and keep in touch, so that’s why we’re still close. It’s funny though, because I haven’t seen how he looks since the day he left, and the same for him too.”

“Aww, that’s so cute!” Joy squealed. “It’s like a drama, if you think of it. Two best friends of different genders get separated when they were young and then reunite years after being separated only to fall in love with each other!” Soeun almost snorted when she saw the twinkle in Joy’s eyes when she was talking about it.

Seulgi laughed at her scenario, “Okay, you watch too many dramas.”

“That is a fact I cannot deny.” Joy shamelessly admitted herself.

Soeun giggled at their childishness. “Hey, so is it okay if I leave in a few?”

Wendy nodded her head, “Oh yeah! Go ahead and have fun!”

“Yeah, it’s your first day here and I’m sure you don’t want to be stuck in this room all day long.” Irene spoke.

“Oh, when did you guys arrive?” Soeun asked.

“Yesterday.” Seulgi answered for all four of them. “We spent the whole day decorating the dorm and unpacking, so we’re going to spend today resting.”

“So go and have fun! It’s not like there are rules in here, especially since the school year hasn’t started.” Joy told her.

“Hey, but tomorrow we’re going to go out and explore the campus with a few of our friends. You should join us if you like!” Seulgi suggested.

Joy gasped, “Yes, that’s a great idea! We can even introduce you to our friends!”

Soeun smiled and nodded at the offer, “Sure, I’d like that.”

-

The young girl sipped her bubble tea for the umpteenth time since she got to the café. She was half way done with the drink and her best friend hasn’t even arrived yet. Letting out a sigh, she checked the time on her phone. 5:36. He was late by 6 minutes and Soeun has been waiting for 24 minutes already. Well, technically it was her fault she was waiting for so long since she got her earlier than the time they agreed on meeting. She wasn’t mad or anything, she was just impatient and excited. She hasn’t seen him in what seems like forever, and she couldn’t wait to see his dorky face again.

When she heard the bell of the café door ring, she felt a part of her get excited and she perked up and looked across the café and at the door, like a little puppy when it hears a bush rustling. She felt her hope get crushed when she saw that it wasn’t her best friend, but some guy wearing a suit and bowtie with a brief case in his hand. Once again she sighed and checked the time on her phone. She was just about to text him, scolding him to hurry up and complain that he was taking forever and that she wanted to see him, when the bells of the café door rang once more.

Gaining that feeling of hope back, she looked up and faced the door again. This time instead of having her hopes thrown off a cliff, she felt it sore when she saw that familiar face. He was panting a little, and it seemed like he ran here. When he made eye contact with Soeun, his face lit up like a Christmas tree. Soeun, too, couldn’t stop herself from smiling and squealing to herself like an idiot.

“S-Soeun?” Jongdae voiced out softly, but loud enough for her to hear.

“Oppa,” She breathed out, a smile still plastered on her face. Not caring of she attracted attention, she got off her seat and ran across the semi crowded café and towards the boy. Jongdae grinned and held his arms out wide open, giving her access to leap into them. Just like those dramatic and cliché dramas, Soeun jumped into his arms, giving him a big hug. Her petite arms her wrapped around his neck as her legs were wrapped around his waist. She basically looked like a Koala, clinging onto him like that. She honestly didn’t care if people were staring at them like a bunch of crazy people, she just simply couldn’t hide the fact that she missed him so much.

Jongdae on the other hand couldn’t stop smiling. He, too, was clinging onto the girl, his arms wrapped securely around her waist. He missed her hugs and feeling her petite body close to his. Nothing has really changed in the past 6 years. She was just how he remembered her, that cute, innocent, smiley little girl who brought a ray of sunshine wherever she went. She still gave off that same aura she did 6 years ago.

“Oh my gosh, I missed you so much.” Soeun whispered.

Jongdae chuckled as he caressed her soft hair, “I missed you too.”

After what seemed like forever, Soeun got off of the boy,going back on her feet once again. She slapped him on the arm, “What took you so long? Do you know how impatient I was getting?” She scolded him with a pout on her face.

The boy laughed as he swung his arm around her shoulder as they both walked to the table Soeun was sitting at before he got here. “I’m sorry, my roommates didn’t let me leave until I helped them rearrange the living room.”

“Wow,” Soeun voiced, “So you’d rather spend time with furniture than to spend time with me. Oh, okay, I see how it is.”

“Well of course, furniture is much more exciting that you.” Jongdae casually replied.

Soeun just laughed and hit him on the arm. The two were close enough to joke around with each other like that. Soeun spends too much time talking to Jongdae, that his sassiness started to rub off on her, except that she is only sassy to the master himself and to no one else.

Jongdae pouted and rubbed his arm, the spot where she whacked. “Well, I still see you’re a hitter.”

The girl shrugged with cheeky grin on her face, “Yeah, the habit never died down.”

“But one thing did change about you.” He mentioned. “You got a lot stronger.”

“Hey, what can I say?” She said. “I’m a woman now.”

Jongdae let out a laugh and scoffed, “Yeah, but you didn’t grow as much. What are you, still 5ft tall?”

Soeun gasped in offense, “Hey, you’re not that tall for a boy, too, you know! And for your information, I am 5’2, thank you very much.” The two shared a fit of laughter, their loud voices invading the café.

“So how are you, Soeun?” He suddenly asked. “How was 6 years living without me?”

“It was great!” She answered enthusiastically, and when she saw the ‘hurt’ look on Jongdae’s face, she giggled. “I’m kidding! It was horrible and I missed you a whole bunch. Oh, and I’m good, thanks for asking.” She offered him some of her bubble tea, and when he took the drink from her hand and took a sip, she asked him the same question. “How about you, Mr. Jongdae? Or do people still call you Chen?”

He laughed and nodded his head, “Yup, I’m still living up to that Funky Chen Chen life.”

Soeun exploded into laughter at his dorky answer. “You’re such a nerd. So, do you still sing?”

“Of course! Is that even a question?” He answered without a hesitation. “In my opinion, I improved a lot.” He told her with a proud grin on his face.

The girl grinned back and took her drink back from him. “Great, so you can still sing to me whenever there’s a thunderstorm.”

“Just like old times.” Jongdae smiled.

“I can’t wait to hear you again.” Soeun admitted. “You were so good the last time I heard you.”

A smirk formed on the boy’s face, “Well then you better pray that there will be a thunderstorm soon, because that is the only time I will sing to you.”

She gasped and a pout formed on her lip, “Wha-?! That’s not fair!”

“I’m kidding!” He laughed, ruffling her hair. “So, did you stop by the dorms yet?”

“Yup! The rooms are bigger than what I expected.” She replied.

Jongdae chuckled and nodded his head, “I know, right? I was shocked about that, too. So, how are you roommates? Are you satisfied with them?”

“Yeah, I’m pretty satisfied with them.” She replied without hesitation. “I mean, the moment I opened the door they welcomed me like a family. They’re really nice and sweet and they seem really easy to get along with.”

“Ah, that’s good.” He bobbed his head up and down. He remembers how in middle school, it had always been hard for Soeun to make friends because of how shy and insecure she was.

“What about you?” She asked.

The boy stretched a little in his seat before answering his question. “Well, I was lucky enough to dorm in with some of my best friends from high school.”

Soeun gasped, “I was replaced?” She asked when she heard the words ‘best friends’.

Her words sent him laughing, knowing that she was just kidding. “No, but, you should meet them. They’re really nice people.”

“Sure.” She nodded her head. “I want to see what I’m competing with.”

“Hey, you know that no matter what happens, you’ll always be my Little Soeunnie.” He cooed at her like she was a baby.

She laughed and rolled her eyes, “And you’ll always be my Chenniepoo.”

The boy groaned, “Ugh, even to this day I hate that nickname!”

“Well too bad! You’ve been stuck with that nickname for 12 years already; we are not breaking the tradition now!” She told him.

“Fine, fine! You’re lucky I love you enough for you to call me that.” He said and chuckled when she flashed him a bright smile.

-

“Oh gosh, the campus is so big.” Seulgi stated as the five girls took a seat at a table in the school’s canteen. They agreed with the girl’s friends that that is where they were going to meet for lunch. The five woke up pretty early that morning so that they could get there early and explore the campus without having so many people be around.

Irene nodded her head, “But it’s so beautiful.”

“I can’t believe I’m saying this but, I can’t wait for the school year to start.” Joy grinned.

Wendy stabbed the pasta she got from the cafeteria with her fork and examined it, “Hopefully the food here is good.”

“You would only care about the food here, you fattie.” Joy joked.

Laughing, Wendy nodded her head, “Hey, food is very important, okay? I need it to live.”

Soeun laughed at the two, “She’s got a point.” She told Joy. Wendy, who was sitting next to her, grinned and put her arm around Soeun’s shoulder as she childishly stuck out her tongue at the baby faced girl. “Ha!”

Soeun thought it was nice that these girls could joke around with each other and not get offended, knowing that they’re all just kidding. The four girl’s relationship kind of reminded Soeun of her and Jongdae’s relationship with each other. She was hoping that she, too, would get along with the girls to the point that she can join into their jokes.

The girls were just chatting and eating their food when someone approached their table.

“Hey, hey, hey.” The person said. Soeun looked up from her plate and saw a handsome boy smiling down at the girls. Behind him was even more handsome guys and Soeun felt herself get shy.

“Hey guys! Took you long enough. Do you know how long we’ve been waiting for you guys?!” Seulgi scolded.

“Sorry!” Another guy spoke. “We would’ve gotten here earlier if Chanyeol hadn’t taken so long in the bathroom.”

A guy with a deep voice, who Soeun assumed was Chanyeol, spoke, “Wha- what?! I didn’t even take a long time! It was Sehun!”

“What?!” Another boy spoke up. “It wasn’t me either, it was-“

“Guys! Shut up! As you can tell, we don’t really care.” Wendy chuckled.  “And is that how you’re going to act in front of our new friend?”

All eyes landed on Soeun, making the girl shift in her seat uncomfortably. She flashed everyone a shy smile, and she swore she could feel her ears grow red.

“Eunnie?!” She heard a strangely familiar voice say. She turned her head towards the owner of the voice and almost choked on her spit when she saw who it was.

“Chenniepoo?!” She voiced, looking at him with equally shocked and wide eyes.

“Eunnie and Chenniepoo?” Some guy spoke. Soeun shyly looked down at her feet, a bit embarrassed that she called him that in front of his friends.

The four girls looked at Soeun confused. “Wait,” Irene spoke first. “You two know each other?”

“Yeah,” Soeun nodded. “He’s my best friend. Remember, the one I was talking about.”

“Jongdae is your best friend?!” Joy squeaked in shock. “Wow, small world….”

“And you guys know Chen, too?” Soeun asked them, just as shocked as they were.

Seulgi nodded her head, “Yeah, we’ve been friends with these guys since the beginning of high school.”

“Yah, Jongdae!” A voice spoke. “You didn’t tell me your best friend was so pretty!” The person’s words made Soeun blush immediately, and Jongdae didn’t fail to catch the slight color change on her cheeks. He rolled his eyes at his friend, “Shut up, Byun Baekhyun.”

“Well, since she was your friend first,” Wendy spoke to Jongdae, “You can do the honors of introducing her to the guys.”

“But, can we please do that later?” Some tall guy with really bad eye bags asked. “Can we get some food first? I’m reaaaally hungry.” He complained.

Another boy around the same height he was rolled his eyes but nonetheless swung his arm around his friend and led him towards the food area. “Let’s go, you fattie.” The rest of the guys followed after, wanting to get some food as well. The only one who stayed behind was Jongdae, who was busy talking to Soeun.

“You didn’t tell me your roommates were these four!” He spoke as he gestured his hands toward the girls Soeun was sitting with.

She laughed, “Well I didn’t know you knew them!”

“Small world that we ended up being roommates with your friend, isn’t Jongdae?” Wendy asked as she linked arms with Soeun’s.

“How are they, Soeun? Are they being nice to you?” He protectively asked his best friend. She just laughed.

Joy scoffed in offense, “We are very nice to her, I’ll have you know. I can’t believe you think that we’d treat her badly!”

Jongdae laughed at the baby faced girl and ruffled her hair, “I’m just joking Sooyoung.”

Seulgi grinned reassuringly at the boy, “Don’t worry, we’re taking really good care of her.” He flashed a cheeky smile at the girls before following the rest of the boys to get some food.

“Wow, are you sure he’s your best friend, or your brother?” Irene giggled as she took a bite of her pizza.

Seulgi laughed as well, “Yeah! I mean, he’s very protective of you and he really cares about you.”

Soeun smiled and shrugged her shoulders a little, “Yeah, he’s been like that ever since kindergarten.”

“Wah, you two have really been friends for a long time.” Joy spoke in amazement.

She nodded, a tiny smile forming on her face. “Yeah, I guess you can say he’s like an older brother I’ve never had.”

After a few minutes, the guys were done getting their food and they connected two tables with the girl’s table so that they could all eat together. It shocked Soeun how much food the boys had got, but it didn't seem to shock the other four girls as they've been used to it. They all had layers of food on their plate and she was wondering if they were planning to share it all, or finish it all for themselves. She then figured that boys will be boys. After everyone was eating and everyone was just sitting and chatting, Jongdae then introduced Soeun to his friends. Knowing Soeun, Jongdae knew she was going to be really shy around them, so he introduced her to the friendliest and easiest to get along with first; Chanyeol.

“Yah, Park Chanyeol.” Jongdae called out and tapped some boy on the shoulder. Soeun watched as a tall and handsome boy grew a little shocked from the tap on his shoulder. She couldn’t help but giggle a little, because despite his giant height, his reaction was cute. His eyes were big, and so were his ears but Soeun thought they were cute. “This is my friend, Soeun.” Jongdae casually introduced her to him.

Chanyeol flashed her a big smile and enthusiastically greeted her, “Hi Soeun! It’s really nice to meet you. Jongdae never stops talking about you.” Soeun froze a little, shocked that, ever though his smile was cute and his eyes sparkled, his voice was the total opposite of that. But because she did that, she didn’t notice Jongdae’s cheeks burn up a little at the comment his friend as said. Chanyeol saw her frozen reaction and frowned a little. He looked over at Jongdae and whispered to him, “Was it something I said?”

Jongdae chuckled a little and shook his head, but before he could answer, she beat him to it. “No! It’s just… It’s just, your voice is very…. Deep.” She shyly admitted.

“Oh,” Chanyeol laughed. “Yeah, I get that a lot." The boy examined the girl and watched how she was shyly playing with her fingers, not making eye contact with him. He chuckled and couldn't stop himself from ruffling her hair. Soeun was a bit taken back by his actions, but let it happen anyway. She awkwardly laughed and shifted uncomfortably in her seat when she saw that he was staring at her.

Jongdae sensed her uneasiness and patted Chanyeol on the back, "Okay giant, don't scare her off now."

Chanyeol grinned, "Sorry Soeun, it's just, you're very.... cute."

The girl felt her cheeks burn at the unexpected compliment. She was never good at compliments, always just standing there, blushing, unable to say anything; not even a thank you. She curled her hair behind her ear with a shy smile on her face, "O-Oh, um, tha-thank you." Her cute actions made Chanyeol laugh once more and stare at her in amazement.

Jongdae groaned, "Chanyeol, you were supposed to help her feel more comfortable around here, but you're doing the complete opposite by staring at her." He grabbed Soeun's hand as he began to drag her away so that he could introduce her to someone else, ignoring Chanyeol's cries in the background.

"Hey, he was nice." Soeun spoke as she helplessly followed him.

"Too nice. Clearly, he was flirting with you." Jongdae tsked as he scanned the room, wondering who he should introduce her to next.

She laughed at his overprotective words. "He wasn't flirting, he was just being friendly."

"My ." He mumbled as he dragged her along and sat her beside a calm looking boy who was sitting down and minding his own business as he ate a pizza. "Kyungsoo! You're the most normal one here." Jongdae said to the wide eyed boy. "This is my best friend Soeun."

The boy looked over Jongdae's shoulder and eyed the girl who was sitting there with a friendly and slightly shy smile on her face. After a few seconds of staring, a smile formed on his face. "Hi Soeun, I'm Kyungsoo. It's really nice to meet you."

Soeun smiled warmly at the boy's sincerity, "It's nice to meet you, too."

Jongdae let out a relieved sigh, "Thank God we have Kyungsoo." After introducing her to Kyungsoo, Jongdae then introduced her to the rest of the boys; Sehun, Kai and Suho. They were all nice and welcoming to her, making Soeun feel part of their little big group already; just like the girls did. She was glad Jongdae had introduced her to them, and she was really thankful that she ended up having really nice and sweet roomates.

But just when Soeun thought that was everyone, a boy came rushing to the table. He sat down next to Soeun, a bit out of breath. "Sorry guys, I took awhile." Soeun remembered his face from a few hours ago when the boys first stepped into the canteen, but honestly she didn't even notice he was gone.

"Where were you?" Jongdae asked the boy who just grinned back at him. "Oh you know, I was doing stuff." Soeun then saw everyone around her roll their eyes or let out groans. She just sat there confused, it was obviously about something they all knew and she didn't. Although she was curious about it, she didn't want to be rude and ask what was wrong with him, so she just sat back and stayed quiet.

Jongdae sighed tiredly, "Well, you're too late. I just introduced Soeun to everyone and I'm not doing it again. But, you're a social butterfly, right?" He asked the puppy-like boy. "Use your skills and introduce yourself to her."

The boy looked at Soeun for a moment before looking back at his friend and sighed, "Fine."

When everyone started to continue talking amongst themselves, the boy turned to Soeun and stared at her. Soeun was expecting him to greet her nicely just like everyone else in the group did, but she almost immidiately frowned at his words.

"Chenniepoo? Really?" The boy scoffed as he took a fry from her untouched lunch tray. Soeun's mouth dropped a little at his rudeness. She wanted to snatch her french fry back and ask him who did he
