The person that most excited about new result of new seat arrangement is no other than Jung Eunha. She gets to sit right next to Yuna, her role model. Eunha has to resist herself to not to fangirling over her during the lessons.

And guess who is the most disadvantage person in this arrangement? Yeah. Choi Yuna.

She basically sits in the center of the class, where everyone in every corner of the class could easily spot her and that’s exactly what she hates most. She feels like attacked in every direction – especially when the seat in front of her is one of the girls that gossiped her earlier. And the seat beside her left is Kim Mingyu, that mostly sent his death glare to the seat beside her right aka Jung Eunha. She is literally stuck between two of them that somehow – Yuna don’t know why – have not so good relationship. Okay, at least the one behind me seems wouldn’t cause any problem.

Lee Seokmin – the Class President itself got Yuna’s former seat, in the one of the corner of the class (the most perfect position to see the one who sits in the center of the class).

Although this seat arrangement caused a lot of anger, they got no time to whine about it since each lesson started already without any break. Yuna who is extremely uncomfortable with her new seat now must dealing with those lessons that she hardly understand. She just writing down things on the board – sighed – and keep asking when will this end.  

When finally the bell rang, the sound is awakening those soul that earlier flying away. The students are all suddenly ‘alive’, straighten their back and stretch their body then dismissed themselves in matter of seconds.

Yuna that just composed herself from such tiring and pointless hours suddenly got dragged by Eunha without even has a chance to reject her offer. She sighed and just let her be. She hates going to cafeteria, dealing with those pair of eyes that looked at her with various expression (none of them feels good to her) but yesterday she starved alone in the class, so having Eunha to accompany her maybe would be a wise choice – she hopes.

After comply their tray with delicious foods, Eunha led her to – luckily – an empty seat. “I’m still amazed by the fact that you’re here.” she opened the conversation, staring at Yuna dreamily. Yuna awkwardly look at her, at how her pair of round and big eyes looks at her with so much admiration.

“Stop staring at me like that.” Yuna couldn’t help but finally said that, “I’m not that great – I mean not anymore.”

“You’re great!” Eunha exclaimed. Yuna quickly corrected her, “I was great.”

Eunha – still smiling – shake her head. “No, don’t ever say that again. You’re great, and you still great, and will be forever great. You’ve walked till this far, till this second. Don’t you think you’ve achieved so much?”

Doesn’t she know that I’m here because basically I’m over?

Yuna was about to said something but Eunha just raised her hands and waved, smiling brightly. “Right here!” she shouted. Yuna look at her strangely and turn her back, only to see a group of people walking towards them. She sighed and rubbed her forehead. I’m such a fool for accepting her offer.

“Whoa whoa whoa look who we have here.”

“Oh my holy God, so it’s true?!”

“Who is she?”

“She is Choi Yuna, you idiot!”

“Guys, can you stop overreacting?”

Yuna know that voice, and because of that she didn’t dare to lift her head from her foods. Sigh. Why he have to sit here?  She hasn’t said any thank to him and it makes her feel like a jerk. And her mood drastically hit its bottom soon as she heard their hurly-burly fighting over seat.

“No no no, move! I want to sit here!”

“Yah are you two fighting again? Like seriously, again?”

“None of your business!”

“Dude you have no chill.”

“Kwon Soonyoung! Don’t you hear me? Move!”

Yuna hold her desire to back to her class than has to deal with this, but when her eyes coincidentally meet Seokmin’s, she couldn’t help but petrify. He gives her a guilty stare, as if asked for her forgiveness for his shameless and noisy friends. Yuna sighed and finally decide to give it a try, but her jaw dropped as she realized her surroundings. There’s no more empty seat, she basically surrounded by Eunha’s group of friend – that happened to be Seokmin’s group of friends too. Yuna sits between two girls, one girl too busy bickering with one of boy that sits beside Seokmin and the other girl has a gloomy aura around her, pursed her lips, extremely bad mood. She then caught a girl in the tip of the long table, smiled at her, showing her eyes smile but said nothing than mouthed a simple hello. What shocked her most is that actually Kim Mingyu has not so bad relationship with Eunha, not like she thought earlier, because that boy is now sit casually beside her.

Yuna counting inside her heart, and she can’t believe she just sit with 6 strangers, plus Seokmin, Eunha, and Mingyu that makes her confused because they just started their fights that postponed earlier. Seokmin gulped and elbowed Eunha, makes the girl startled and realize that Yuna is actually still here. Eunha coughed loudly and dramatically, successfully gain all of their attention, “Guys, can you introduce yourself to Yuna? She will sit with us from now on.”

What the heck she just-

Yuna didn’t even have a time to deny that false declaration, because the boy beside Seokmin already raised his hand and introduce himself enthusiastically, “I’m BOO-SEUNG-KWAN, the actual diva from 1-E class, your soon-gonna-be dearest junior!” he shouted, emphasizing each syllable of his name and soon-gonna-be part, clearly proud about his name and confident about his guess.

“Not that ‘diva’ again.” the girls beside Yuna sighed, rolled her eyes. “I’m Sinbi, and I hate to say this but I’m coming from the same class with him.” then Seungkwan quickly corrected her, “and come from the same seat too.”

“Aish! Damn that new seat arrangement! Why only seniors that have single seat?”

Seungkwan stuck out his tongue, and Sinbi reached for his hair in instant, successfully grabbed it harshly.

“Stop fighting you two! Seriously! I don’t need more irritating things to my bad day!” the girl beside her right speaks up irritably. “And I’m Sowon. Your senior from 3-A.” she introduced herself, lowered her tone and forced a small smile. Yuna amazed at how beautiful she looks despite her gloomy expression.

“She usually bright and less annoying, but she just have a fight with this guy who happened to be her boyfriend so we hope for your understanding. And yeah, I’m Soonyoung, your senior too, and the four of us come from the same class.” Soonyoung smiled widely, proud for giving such important info (according to him) and he whispered then, “And Sowon’s boyfriend name is Seungcheol.”

Seungcheol who sit beside Seungkwan shot a deathly glare, and sighed. “I’m Seungcheol.” he then quickly backs to shuffles his bowl of soup listlessly. Yuna look at him and noticed how desperate he is.

Then finally the girl who mouthed a hello earlier waved her hand, once again showing her adorable eye smiles. “I’m Jung Yerin! It’s really nice to meet you in real life.” Yuna couldn’t help but smile a bit, and Yerin turn giggled and waved more enthusiastically in return.

“Ah, can I introduce myself again? I’m Jung Eunha and I’m a big fan of yours!” Eunha smiled so widely and back at her amazed mode again, only to receive another eyes-rolled from Mingyu. “I’m Kim Mingyu.” Mingyu introduced himself shortly then continued to eat his foods. And the last person who is not introduced himself yet just coughed awkwardly, when all pair of eyes basically staring at him and waiting for his turn. Yuna sit awkwardly in front of him, she already know his name, he already helped her twice, but when realize they never formally introduce each other somehow bothered her.

“Don’t tell me you two already know each other?” Seungkwan asked suspiciously.

“Yes, e.. eh no, duh I mean, we’ve met before but never introduce ourselves formally.” Seokmin speak up, scratching his head to shoo away his awkwardness but it just make him two times more awkward. All of them look at him uncomfortably, sighed at how this Lee Seokmin didn’t change his awkwardness towards girls yet.

“Then what the hell are you doing? Go introduce yourself!” Soonyoung told him impatiently. Seokmin coughed and he is trying hard to look at Yuna right in her eyes. He inhaled his breath deeply before finally could let his voice out without trembling or stuttering, “I’m Lee Seokmin.” when he finally said that, he couldn’t help but break in a wide smile, once again mentioned his name, “Seokmin. Lee Seokmin.”

“Yes dude, once is enough. I believe she will remember you, don’t worry.” Seungkwan patted his back teasingly.

They can’t help but laugh at how awkward and happy Seokmin is, and the only person who clueless about is the new fellow aka Choi Yuna. “So..” Soonyoung speak and break the laughter, “who are you?” he asked Yuna innocently while munching his banana – didn’t realize that everyone shot him a ‘kwon-soon-young-are-you-serious?!’ glare.

“What the heck – so you truly don’t know anything about her?” Mingyu who earlier busy with his food suddenly speaks, couldn’t stand his nescience.

“Am I supposed to know her?”

“You aren’t but are you Koreans? Because if you were then you would know who she is!” Seungkwan yelled at him in disbelief. Yuna quietly sighed and before Seungkwan continued, she cut him off,

“I’m Choi Yuna. I’m on the same class along with Seokmin, Eunha and Mingyu. Nice to meet all of you.” she forced a little smile, bowed her head a bit, then quickly fixing her gaze back to her foods, not able to face their reaction.

Yes, she assured herself, I’m just Choi Yuna now.

**

The lunch break earlier was quickly back to bright mood after Yuna’s sudden introduction, all thanks to Seungkwan, Sinbi, Soonyoung and Seokmin who surprisingly able to throw jokes when Yuna just think he would stay quiet and awkward all the time. Although between them there’s a couple that currently are in their bad terms, they’re still getting along well. Yuna herself still has to familiarize herself with Eunha’s and Seokmin’s (and Mingyu too, she just realized) new circle of friends, because the two of them just dragged her in without her consent. But even when Yuna ensure herself to reprove Eunha after, she just can’t bring herself to do so.

She just somehow enjoys that strange feeling, being surrounded by those people who just easily welcomed herself to join their circle. Sadly, it’s her first time experienced that. Since her childhood, she never truly made friend at school so she never has someone who she could call ‘best friend’. Her circle of friends is their training mates that usually have a huge with her, and she has only one trainee mate that same aged with her and she’s the closest friend she could recall. But seeing how close they are, Yuna already knows that they’re best friended, no matter how Seungkwan bullied Sinbi, Soonyoung bullied by Seungkwan, Sowon nagging all the time and Seungcheol that sighed too much, Mingyu and Eunha have their own fights in their own world, Seokmin is mostly bullied by Soonyoung and Seungkwan, and Yerin that just watched them, somehow throw a comment but mostly busy with her own stuffs. And Yuna – she just be the audience of their friendship, feel secretly jealous for their close friendship.

Yuna suddenly missed her one and only friend, but hesitate to called her or even text her. She might be busy with her practice.

So she let out a heavy sigh.

“Hey.” Seokmin greeted her while sit in front of her. His greeting is still in awkward tone but it sounds more casually now. He slightly startled her, but Yuna manages quickly replied him back. “Hey.”

“Sorry for make you wait again. Mrs. Shin suddenly called me.”

“It’s okay.” Yuna convince him, honestly.

“Then let’s just start, shall we?” Yuna nodded, Seokmin then let out some books, put it on the table. “Here are the old notes from each subject. I got from my close senior that I know, so he advised to keep those notes well because he treasured it so much. He is very diligent and his note is the most complete and neat, and moreover he always add a sticky notes to each lesson’s chapter to write important things that teacher said but didn’t written on the textbooks. It helped a lot, I guarantee. Based on that, I’ve made 3 summaries, Mathematics, Physics, and Korean Literature, and the rest is on progress though, I promise I’ll finish it soon. If you find difficulties, you could take a look to these old notes. But when you need a quick review on class, I hope these summaries will help you.”

Yuna felt bad when she still thinking about persuade him to do a negotiation with Mrs. Noh to cancel this tutoring session a minute back then, meanwhile he prepared all of these, she didn’t know when he prepared this much amidst his time – that she really believe he could spend it to another things beside this.

“Yuna?” he called her. Yuna look at her and she realize it again, she doesn’t say even a simple thank to him meanwhile here he is, helping her again.

“Seokmin, I know I’m late but..” Yuna s her bag then let out Seokmin’s umbrella, but didn’t notice how Seokmin looks slightly surprised at how Yuna mentioned his name, “Thank you. For the umbrella. For this morning. And for… these.”

Seokmin lips curled into his usual wide smile, lowered his head to hide his ‘too-wide’ smile but he can’t hide it, so he lift his head back and still smiled.

“Hey, I’m sincere.” Yuna protested.

Upon hearing that, Seokmin can’t help but laughing. “Oh, I don’t mean that, I know you’re sincere, as always.” he smiled, “I’m just so…. happy.”
