Jiyong’s POV

After saying those words to Yoona, I then realised how regretful and embarrassed I was. I mean, how could I say ‘Promise me you’ll smile for me’ when I knew she’ll smile only for Youngbae. As I clearly don’t know what to do next, what a fortune that we arrive just in time!

After I let go both of her hands, I immediately exited the car in a rush without waiting for her but somehow she managed to catch up my pace as I fast walking. While we both were walking side by side, neither of us utters a single word.

Yoona is definitely awkward beside me since she kept on fidgeting with her fingers. At last, she’s the one who break the ice of silence. “Hey Ji, I gotta go to class, see you when recess.” She said and went to the left side of the path. I smiled at her action and waved at her though she doesn’t see it.

Soon after, I went to my locker and knock lightly on it. ‘Why do I have to suffer like this? You should know that we’re not more than friends.’ After taking my chemistry books, I sigh and kept saying incoherent words as I went to my class.

When I got into the class, someone wrap their arm on my neck which made me elbowed the person. “Ah, hyung! Why did you elbow me too hard? That hurts!” Seungri whined and I just chuckle. “Congratulation Seungri, you now have your wish.” I say sarcastically.    

“Anyway hyung~ how’s your day?” He asked whilst I took my seat. “Same old, same old Seungri-ah~ so now can you go away?” I said as he pout. “Aish hyung, how can you chase away your favourite dongsaeng?” He asked and got pushed by another person.

“Hyung, how about me?” Daesung asked and flashed a smile. Before I could answer, both of their names got shouted by Professor Kim to tell them to be in their seat in 5 seconds before they get the punishment.  I chuckled as they scurry to their seats.

I paid attention to the class for a while until I felt my eyes getting heavier. If I sleep a bit won’t kill right? I slowly shrunk on my seat and slept.

Yoona’s POV

*Bell Rang*

“Damn, why can’t I understand what Mrs. Ha saying?” I asked to Youngbae as we walk to our next class. “Don’t know. It might be the reason you’re busy drawing-“ “A Rilakkuma!” A voice continued and jumped on my back. “Yah, who are you?” I said and laughed since of course I know who. “Aish, Yoong, is this how you treat your older sis? I will ignore you from now.” She said and pretended to walked away.

“Aish, don’t be a kid Jessicq, you’re 17 already! Let’s go to Mr. Jeon’s maths Set 2 class. How about you Bae?” I asked as he walks slowly behind. “Unfortunately I’ve got promoted to a higher set of maths class.” He smiled and ruffles my head. “Hey, it’s just a set higher than us.” Jessica said. “Aigoo, you’re just jealous that he’s in Set 1. But at least Set 2 is not far. Okay we better go now. See you later.” I waved at him as he waved back and went to his class.

After he walked away, I turned to see Jessica smirk. “What?” I asked innocently. “Yoona-ah, do you have feelings for Bae?” She asked as she grins at me. “Why should I? We’re just friends you know! Where’s Yuri anyway?” I divert the topic as we walked to our class.

“Don’t change the topic Im Yoona! You didn’t even ask about her earlier!” Jessica said as she laughed. “Jessica, stop it. Let’s go before we got scold by Mr. Jeon. We might end up with several homeworks today.” I say and practically drag her as she laughs uncontrollably.

“Seriously Im Yoona, you really are secretive. Anyway, Yuri is not here because she’s having her dancing competition in Seoul High. She’s against with Gong Minzy, the 9th grade girl I heard.” She said as she regained her consciousness to walk properly.

“Well at least she doesn’t lose her confidence to be against someone younger than her. Now let’s go.” I said and fortunately we came in class before the scary teacher come.

Youngbae’s POV

As I walked away from them, I can’t help but chuckled towards Yoona’s attitude. She never changed since she’s young. “Yah, what’s with you? Laughing all alone over there?” As the second person said and headlock my head. “And who are you to interfere with my mind?” I playfully answered as he freed his hand from my head.

“Oh, I’m so hurt that my own best friend said I couldn’t know what the reason behind his laugh is.” Jiyong feign a look of hurt.  I just shook my head and walk with him to our class. When we arrived in our class and seated, he started to slump on his seat and put his head on the table.

“Ji, stop being like a kid. You’re already at the end of high school now.” I said sarcastically as I took my mathematics homework from my bag. “So?” he asked. When he looked at my book on my table, he became frantic. “When did Mrs. Lee gave that homework? Oh my god, I haven’t finish anything yet!” He said and knocked his head on the table.

“Kwon Jiyong, why are you knocking your head on the table? Students, please bring out your homework on the table that I gave you last Monday. I expect to see that students from Set 1 are finished with my homework.” We both looked at each other and his eyes said ‘Bae, I’m definitely going to die here.’ My eyes answered, ‘Nope, who would dare to kill the millionaire’s son?’ He answered back, ‘Mrs. Lee’.

We both looked at Mrs. Lee whose going to get near to both of our table. As she done with the person in front of me, she checked mine. “As always, you never disappointment me. Keep it up okay?” She said and I nod. When she come to Jiyong, the person who is panic earlier became composed in just a swift of seconds.

“Mrs. Lee, I’m sorry that I didn’t bring the homework to school today. I had finished it but forgotten to bring it since I was helping my dad sorting the documents. If you understood what I mean.” He said without hesitance. I knew that’s a white lie he made to get away this time but fortunately for him, Mrs. Lee since to buy it.

“Okay then, make sure to bring it next lesson. I will give you a chance for today.” She said and checked another person. He flashed a victory smile to me and I just chuckled. This kid, no matter what happen, he got ways to convince people easily.

“Okay class. Let’s start with the corrections.” She said and started to scribble maths calculation on the board.

Yoona’s POV

*Recess*

“Ah really, this will be torturous if Mr. Jeon is still my maths teacher till the end of the year! Why did he kept on scolding me for no reason?” Jessica whined. “It’s because you’re the one who couldn’t stop talking, one. Two, you didn’t do the work while you talk. Three, you ‘re loud.” I answered for her as we both walked to the cafeteria. “Aing, it’s not my fault that I’m talkative. Plus why you’re on his side by the way.” She said and ran to queue for snacks.

I shook my head and sat on our usual table and drank my water. “Yoona!” A hand pat my back that made me choke in surprise. “Hey, I’m sorry! It’s not an intentional purpose to make you choke. I’m sorry!” Seungri who made the mistake immediately beg forgiveness as I cough and he soothed my back.

“Yah, go away, you ert! How dare you. Thank god it’s not serious.” I say and glared at him. “I did say I’m sorry! Please forgive me MERCIFUL Yoona!” He begged and I just laugh as I forgave him. “What’s the commotion here?” Jessica asked as she arrived.

“This idiot here tried to kill me by me choking with my own drink.” I explained. “I told you it’s an accident! Sica, you’ll believe me right?” Seungri start to make a fuss. “Seungri, stop it. I’m just saying. Just be glad that Jiyong is not here, if not you’ll be-” “He’ll what?” Jessica unfinished sentence got cut.  “What are you guys talking about?” Jiyong said as he stood beside Youngbae.

“Ah, nothing hyung!” Seungri turned flustered as he doesn’t know what to say. “Okay guys, let’s stop here. Poor little Seunghyun here. Our break is almost finishing, and about it, where were you guys earlier?” I asked them. “As usual, Mrs. Lee let us out late. She doesn’t look at the time as she passionately taught us just now.” Jiyong said and Youngbae rolled his eyes.

“Be thankful that she did buy your cheap lie earlier.” Youngbae said. “What happened?” Jessica asked. “He lied that he finished his homework when it’s the opposite.” Youngbae said and Seungri gasp jokingly. “Hyung, I would never thought that you would have the guts to lie! I had always made you as my role model since we entered this high school hyung!” “I never wanted to be one of your role model either!” Jiyong said as he lightly knocked Seungri head. As if in cue, the bell rang to cut Seungri’s argument.

“Okay a guy, that’s our cue to go. See you later at lunch.” Youngbae said and dragged Seungri along. I just nod at his remark and to see Jiyong stoned at his position. “Ji, what are you having next? Are you having History now?” I asked as I tidied my things and so did Jessica.

“Not really, I’m having Set 2 Geography while both of them have Set 2 History class. Since History Set 3 is near my Geography class for today, I suggest we should go to our class together?” He asked as he scratched his nape shyly. “Sure, why not? You’re okay with that too right Sica?” I asked and she nodded. “So what are we waiting for? We will get scold Mr. Hwang if we late. Let’s go!” Jessica said as she dragged me along with her.

Jiyong quietly trailed behind as Jessica started her blabbering. “Jessica, stop with your nonsense talking and let me join in the conversation too!” Jiyong pouted as Jessica put her tongue out. “You’re only allowed to join us, not our conversation!” She playfully said and run forward. How can a 17 years old girl act like an elementary kid in this high school? I never thought that I’d befriend a person like her since Junior High.

When we arrived, we bid goodbyes and went to our respective classes. That’s when I saw Jessica’s gloomy expression. “Sica, what’s wrong?” I asked and she broke out from her trance and faked a smile. “I’m okay, there’s nothing wrong.” She said and took her history book out as I did the same.

I wonder what’s with her with the sudden cheerless face. There must be something wrong, but what could it be? “Hello class. Today we’re going to study Unit 7, so please turned to page 156.” Mr. Hwang said but I took no notice. “Im Yoona, did you hear what I said just now?” A loud bang on my table made me jump in surprise and woke me up from my trance. The others laughed at my actions but quieten as Mr. Hwang glared at them.

“More like it. Please pay attention Im Yoona, you know this is your last year so do work hard for your final exam. Unless, do you want to meet me next semester year?” He said and I immediately shook my head. “Well then, turn your page to 156. I expect you give your full attention for today’s topic. And not only Yoona, you students should pay attention also.” He said and started his learning. Dang, why do I need to get this unlucky fortune?

 Jiyong’s POV
