▬ {  fate }    ;  
that was the day that I promised, I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.

       The thing about Kris and Byul was that they have only heard of each other until they've actually met. Kris knew that she was part of the school newspaper because he was fun of reading it while Byul knows him by being an effortless honor student. When they first met, they didn't actually knew their names until it rang a bell after their introduction. It was during one of their classes in the morning when Byul was almost late and Kris was seated infront of the class with an empty chair beside him. She didn't had time to think what the subject was in the morning and instinctively took the seat just in time before the professor came in. It was a good thing that she took that chance because it was their biology teacher who most people believe that she had stop menstruating before the expected age. At the sight of the two ironic (that's how she describes the two) honor students, she made a frown then sighed. 

 

       "I can't believe it's you Ms. Han." She complained. "I always wonder why you're still a scholar up to this point and by those mis-matched socks, I know you slept in again." 

 

         All Byul could do was sigh and roll her eyes while she was busy writing her name on the board, on the other hand Kris just woke up from her loud mouth. He just stretched his arms up widely that got people distracted, by the time he was done, their nosy teacher noticed that he was finally awake.

 

        "Even you!" She pointed at him which made him startle a bit because he just woke up and was shocked that she was the teacher. "I don't know how you manage to get high grades when all you do is sleep in class!" 

 

        He then yawned infront of her and ignore what she was saying during her introduction of her being part of the staff and the introduction of the lesson. Byul was mocking her through doodling at the back of her notebook while she was busy walking from one place to another. Clearly, these two people were ironically achievers but that's how it is. All they could remember from the first day was that she discussed that there was gonna be a proposal of some sort of experiment or whatever that they were required to do in order to pass the first term/subject. Another thing that they remember was that they were assigned to each other as partners, and no, it wasn't because their hot headed teacher made them but it was because Byul pulled out Kris's name from the hat. 

 

       "Wu...-she took a pause and remembered the name- Yifan?" 

       "That's me." He said softly as he looked at her. "What's your name?"

       "The name's Byul." 

       "... Just Byul?" He asked.

       "Obviously not." She gave him an are-you-serious type of look. "My name is Han Sae Byul, but I prefer to be called Byul." 

 

      They may see eachother in other classes but to Byul, she only wanted to notice him during chemistry and the same thing was for Kris. During their second meeting, they discussed about what they were going to propose. Byul had a list of what she thought was best but Kris just thought of other proposals while she was discussing her opinion towards him. They ended up going along with his idea of bioluminescence, where they were gonna use a certain bacteria or glowing animal to provide light for humans. 

 

       "Okay so I'll just see you next time." was all Byul could say before fixing her stuff to leave for her next class.

       "Yeah, you too." Kris answered then asked. "What's your name again?"

       "Are you serious, Kris?" From the looks of it he got embarrassed when he asked her along stating his name. 

       "I know you're last name is Bang." He said while pointing at her. 

       "No." She shook her head, getting kind of offended by what he asked.

       "I'm sorry, can I at least know your name again?" He asked. 

       "My name is Secret." She decided to play a game with him.

       "Okay, I'll take that as a challenge." He told her.

 

     He searched for other people in the room who may know her and asked them what her name was, though she was giving them looks to go along with her that her name is really secret. That was when her notebook full of sketches and doodles fell, he grabbed the notebook in hope that he could find her name but instead he noticed that she was Han Sae Byul, one of the editorial cartoonists of the school newspaper.

 

         "Oh yeah, you're name is Han Sae Byul." He said while flipping through the pages, admiring her work. "No wonder you're name was familiar, I love your drawings."

          "That's sweet of you but I have to go." She said while grabbing it from him then leaving with a blush across her face.

▬ {  relationship}    ;  
but darling, you are the only exception 

     Another thing about the two was that they almost have the same background; his parents are separated and only met his mother after their divorce when she was already dead. Besides finally getting along with each other, it was something that makes them understand each other more than anyone else. Byul was a fan of Disney, particularly the ones that include Princesses (P.S. her favourite video game of all time is Kingdom Hearts).  It made her think that it was like in a fairy-tale (but if they were talking about reality shows, she thinks about Boys Over Flowers). 

     Before Byul knows about Kris's fiance, he was nice towards her than anyone else and he was comfortable around her. It was noticeable to other people that Kris was different around her and that they were always talking to eachother especially during biology when they were making fun of their teacher. After some time, it was clear to Byul that she likes Kris no matter how much she denies it and likes to be with him as much as possible. Kris on the other hand, likes being with Byul all the time and he even butts himself in her conversations with other people just to get her attention.

    After Byul realizing that Kris has a fiance, she totally tried to avoid Kris the whole week. Try, because no matter what she does; Kris will always do something or say something to get her attention. It shows how special she is towards him. There was even this one time where they were group mates for P.E. and Byul didn't bother to talk to him even if he whispered a joke to her. She was so upset that she sat alone in a corner to give her some time to think but Kris just sat beside her and stared at her, thinking "Is there something wrong?".  The thing that pisses her off is that he didn't tell her, it wasn't obvious that he's friggin' rich and it wasn't also obvious that he has a fiancee. 

    When Kris knew that she was acting like that because she knew that he had a fiance (something he doesn't want to share to a lot of people), he also confessed that he is a heir to their company which is something he isn't responsible for and he can't escape it. She said that she was disappointed with him but understands what he's going through. It only occured to Byul that this is reality, something really different compared to a fairytale. Just because of what happened to both of their parents' marriage, she doesn't believe in love but she will continue to be with Kris so that she could still experience this feeling called "love". When they were finally together in a secret relationship, they still talk to eachother but it wasn't the same old teasing and jokes kind of thing. 

  It's pretty comical when people take their glasses off and untie their hair and people think of someone else, that's how Byul is whenever she's at work or when she's with Kris. Though even if she still is mean by the way she talks, she was began to be more sweet towards him. Not only does she transformed physicall but she has become more touchy and clingy that usual.
