PROLOGUE.       Students were loitering around the classroom. Some were doing their homework, some were playing and some were plainly chatting. However, Sooyeon couldn't care about what's happening to her surroundings when suddenly she saw him.   "Oppa!" Sooyeon called out, hopping towards him.   Donghae gave him a faint smile and darted his gaze towards her, "Oh, Sooyeon... you're here." He stated in his disappointment rather than his amusement. "Aren't you happy?" She asked.    "I've brought the project that you've been nagging me to do. I've spent 3 hours making this project I know you'll like it." She told him proudly with a triumphant smile. Her heart was filled with enlightenment and happiness.   She pulled out the case folder from her bag and picked up the bond paper designated for him. She showed him proudly and smiled. "See?"   "You know what oppa, I think you can get in to the college university that you've always been dreaming of! You know what? I also want to go there. Just imagine that we'll be together and-"   Donghae scratched his earlobe and uttered, "thanks." He grabbed the piece of paper and started walking away. "Yah! Oppa! Wait for me!" She started to run after him and clung on her arms.   Girls were looking at her and as if judging her. "Hey, look at her. She's so clingy. No wonder the guy wanted to run away from her."   "Minji, it doesn't seem like it. Actually the girl seems pretty nice. No need to be so judgemental."   Donghae removed her tugging arms away from him. He rolled his eyes as he fixed the sling of his bag on his shoulders. "Will you stop doing that?" He uttered, his voice was too low however, tattletales were still able to catch his words.   "See?"   "Minji... It's not your business. Just step out of it."   "I really hate those kinds of girls. No matter how hard people push them away they still get back. I don't know if they're stupid or they're stupid. Don't they at least get hurt from what others are doing to them or feel self pity for even one second? Gosh! So stupid!"   "It's not stupidity Minji. It's being a martyr. Some people are just too afraid of losing the ones that they really care about."   "Whatever. Don't get your sentimentality fire again, Minyoung."   "I don't know how you became my sister."   "Me too." Minji stated crossing her arms and rolling her eyes. "And just for the record, you ."    "You ."   Sooyeon was pretty sure that they were referring to her but she didn't care. The least thing she could ever care about is to have Donghae next to her. She smiled at her own thought and looked at him.   "Poor, poor, Sooyeon." Jia said mockingly, tapping her fingers on her chin. She's the queen bee of the school. She always plays pretend in front of the teacher as the good samaritan but actually, she's satan's first cousin. Well, that's how others see her.   "D-Donghae oppa!" She tried to approach him even though he seemed a million miles away.   "Wow." Jia said with extreme emotions while her expression didn't falter. She crossed her arms and started circling around her. "Looks like the dog's drooling over something she can never have, eh?" She smiled and pushed Sooyeon harder than she usually would.   Sooyeon stumbled on the floor which caught everybody's attention. Jia gave her a dagger glare and she in return casted a triumphant smile, "Woah, Sooyeon's still gonna act miss nicey here, huh?" She smirked and crossed her arms.   "Listen everyone!" Jia started, clapping her hands so that everyone would turn their attention to her. "I am the queen bee of this school and everyone should listen to me. If not, you're all gonna be like her - a pathetic, ugly scheming dog-like nerd drooling for someone she can never have."   "Back off, JIa." A strange voice started. Everyone turned their gaze at him and when Jia saw his face, her lips turned agape. "Uh... Oppa. What are you doing here? I thought you're in Japan."   "I was supposed to but dad didn't let me. He's afraid that some spoiled brat will rule over and guess he's right." He shoved his hands on his pocket and started walking towards Sooyeon. He knelt down in front of her and said, "Are you alright?"   Jia rolled her eyes and smirked, "Oppa, I was always been the queen and will you please go far away from that disgusting ?"   Luhan casted a cold glare and muttered, "Is that what you learn from school?"   "Well..." She started, trying to get back on her track and said, "Nope. I just learned how to protect myself from someone deceiving as she is."   "Did she ever hurt you?"   "No but-"   "Well then, you have no right of judging her." He looked at her straight into her eyes, they were so deep, so warm. Her eyes were fixed on him and so does his. He stood up and break the connection between them and turned to Jia "Apologize."   "But-"   "Apologize or else, you'll be grounded." Luhan forced her his eyes were fierce and it was definitely filled with hatred. "You know what happens when your grounded, right?" Luhan smirked. His meaningful gaze sent fear to her sister.   "Fine! Fine! For crying out loud! I'll do it!" Jia looked at Sooyeon with an annoyed expression and shouted, "I'M SORRY!" She started walking a
