Plot: Author's choice (highschool!AU)

Where the heck is Choi Jonghyun, Hwayoung panicked as she checked the time on her phone for the nth time. It was almost eight o' clock. She fidgeted, her eyes glancing around the area for her best friend who was about to be tardy for class. She quickly dialed his number but was taken to his voicemail.

Other students of TOP High School who were barely making it to the class on time hurried passed the gates. At 7:58, the security for the school started to close the gates. "Wait, Mister!" Hwayoung yelled. "Just wait for a few more minutes before closing it please! If my friend is late this time, he'll get detention!"

The security shrugged his shoulders. "It's not problem, student. He needs to get here on time."

"Yeah," she replied. "Best friend, not Naver (search engine)."

They then heard a tap on the chalkboard. "Cho Hwayoung. Choi Jonghyun. Stop talking during my lesson please," the teacher then said.

Hwayoung closed and turned back around to face the board.

The school day passed by rather quickly, and soon, most of the students returned home. Because both Hwayoung and Changjo had after school activities, they stayed later. "Are you getting ready for the Taekwondo tournament?" Hwayoung asked as they walked around the school.

Changjo nodded his head. "I think our team will do well. You sh
