There she was again, taking my breath away as she walked towards the gates with her books in hand. Her innocence was remarkable, especially when her friends aren’t so innocent themselves. Those slightly chubby cheeks and full lips were so tempting. God, it must be a sin to be this beautiful, attracting everyone that went to this university.

“Seriously, Yul. Stop gawking at her…”

“What can you expect? She’s just another ert.”

That was my ever-so-irritating best friend aka Kim Taeyeon who’s nothing but a horrible player. Pft, I know one relationship can change everything but I didn’t expect her to change so much after that one girl. The one who just called me a ert was Choi Sooyoung, a silly shikshin with extremely lanky legs and she’s the perfect definition of a social butterfly.

“Shut up, you two are worse than me when it comes to girls!”

And I am the most popular athlete in Soshi University as claimed by the two idiots with me. I play baseball, basketball and when I’m free, I help out with the swimming classes here. Then again, being good at sports doesn’t really matter anyway. As long as a person’s grades aren’t good, you’re considered close to nothing in society and I am one of them. The only people who treasure me are the students here, and I’m ultimately grateful for it.

“Hey, if you really like her then go for it! I mean, that’s better than silently watching over her, right?”

That’s another friend of mine, Im Yoona. Yoona’s practically my twin since we both play the same sports, the only difference is probably the fact that she does well in her studies too. The best part is, she attends the same classes as Seohyun and to top it off, they’re partners for every chemistry lesson. “Seohyun’s so quiet and smart, isn’t she just perfect?” I mumbled dreamily, continuing to watch her walk to her own class.

“STOP BEING A DAMN ERT!”

That’s Seohyun’s over-protective Unnie, Lee Sunkyu. She hates her birth name and I find pleasure in irritating her by calling her real name in front of everyone. I mean, come on! Who wouldn’t like making that little ball of fake cuteness annoyed to the point where she starts getting violent? I can swear I'm not the only one who enjoys it. 

I turned to her, “Pft, no one is being a ert. Sunkyu, you need to look at your own girlfriend drooling over you.” Sunny’s face changed in the blink of an eye, “I have a girlfriend?” I rolled my eyes at Sunny's obtuse quesrion, she really didn't know who is in love with her for the longest time ever, “Aaannddd… you just killed her.” 

Grabbing hold of both Yoona and Taeyeon's hands, the three of us quickly sped off towards the school compound, giving Sunny and her soon-to-be girlfriend some privacy together. I knew Sooyoung was in love with Sunny though she always claimed that she only loved food and food alone. “Aren’t we being a bit too mean?” Yoona asked. I sighed, Yoona could too nice that it got annoying sometimes. I placed my hand onto Yoona’s head and ruffled her hair, “if we don’t do this. Soo might never have enough courage to confess, Yoona-ah. Don’t worry.”

Taeyeon linked her arm with mine, “then when is it going to be your turn, Kwon Yuri?” I froze at Taeyeon’s direct question. Grabbing my collar, I gulped loudly and tried to change the topic by asking Yoona if she was going for training but Taeyeon grabbed my shirt, “don’t you dare avoid it.” 

I wasn’t avoiding anything… I just wasn’t ready to get my sorry rejected by the most beautiful specimen alive.

As long as I can hold it in, I will watch over her as silently as possible.

Seohyun sat in class quietly, taking down notes for the upcoming lecture in about two hours. She carefully highlighted the important points and words in alternate sentences, mumbling incoherent words to herself. “Seohyun-ah…” Seohyun looked up and waved, “Sica-unnie!” Jessica grinned at her hardworking friend, “how’s your studies coming along?” Seohyun thought for a while and squeezed Jessica’s hand, “it’s fine. How come you’re here? Don’t you have class with Taeyeon-unnie and Yuri-unnie now?”

Jessica pouted at the very mention of her two friends, “I don’t know where they are… but they’re not in class yet and I don’t want to be alone.” Seohyun chuckled a little, “Unnie, you can’t come into class as and when you like because you’re in the upper class, not here.”

“Yes, Miss Class President.”

Indeed, Seo Joohyun is the class president as well as the top scorer in her class. When the teacher needed someone to demonstrate or be a role model for everyone, Seohyun’s name would immediately be called without hesitation. Thankfully, none of her classmates were the jealous sort and they supported her with all their heart.

“Unnie! Stop teasing me!”

Everyone ignored the playful banter between Jessica and Seohyun, even giggling along time and again – it was quite norma
