The next day, second period ended and it was it time for lunch. Outside your classroom you noticed Pneil leaning against the window waiting for you. 

 

"Oh, Anyeonghaesayo Pneil-shii." You slightly bowed your head. Seeing Pneil again made your heart jump, you lost your stuttering just by seeing him. But most of all you felt like you weren't alone anymore, you finally felt like you have someone you could rely on and take care of you. 

 

He stood back on his feet and walked towards you, hands in his pockets. "Hey Haerie." He smiled. 

"You ready for lunch?" He asked. 

You nodded your head as an answer. 

 

"Instead of eating at the cafeteria how about we go somewhere else?" He said. You tilted your head slightly. "To where?"

 

"You'll find out once I take you there." He chuckled and grabbed your hand leading the way. You looked at your hand and Peniel's hand together and felt heat rise up to your cheeks. Than again, looking at the bystanders watching you and Peniel's hands together made them send you daggers. 

 

You ducked your head.

 

*Ever since they were here, they're already a big talk in the school. They're good looks, amazing grades and talent. Every girl would want a boyfriend like that. But the question is, of all girls  why would he talk to me?* you thought. *I'm nothing special. I'm just an ordinary girl who loves to draw, sing and play music.* 

 

You and Peniel arrived at the back of the school were the schools garden house is. You could see different plants and trees through the glass window, hardly anyone would go in here since no one has interest in gardening. 

 

"The garden house? Why are we here?" You asked. 

 

Peniel answered. "From now on this is our place to hang out and eat lunch together." 

 

"Come on everyone's waiting." He grabbed your wrist. 

 

"Everyone? Who-wait-waa!" Peniel dragged you inside. 

 

Inside you could see a gazebo in the centre with a large round table and with eight chairs. You noticed 6 people already took their seats and 2 left over for you and Peniel. 

 

"Hey guys." Pneil greeted his friends. 

 

"So how about I introduce you to my friends. This is Eunkwang hyung, Sungjae, Changsub, Ilhoon and Minhyuk." He said. "Everyone this is Haerie." 

 

"A-anyeonghaesayo." You bowed looking away after wards, lets just say you were never good when talking with boys.

 

"Here take a seat." Peniel gestured you to take the seat beside him and Ilhoon. You sat there a bit uncomfortable and flustered sitting with so many guys.  

 

The sun above you beamed your necklace through the class roof and it glisten causing everyone sitting around you to gaze at your beauty. Your perfectly brown hair dangling down your shoulders, your big eyes and long lashes cascading down your cheeks when you look down, that slight fade of red on your cheeks and that soft lips of yours. 

 

They couldn't help but to admire your beauty. 

 

You looked up to them catching them staring at you which made your face red a bit more. They looked away and swallowed hard. 

 

"H-how about we have some lunch?" Minhyuk suggested. He took out eight lunch boxes one for each and one for you. 

 

You eyes widen and your mouth slightly opened. *wow..* 

"Y-you made a lunchbox for me too?" You asked. 

 

He chuckled. "Of course, since Peniel told us that your having lunch with us." 

 

You glanced at Peniel and he just smiled. "O-oh I-I see." 

 

"Go ahead dig in." Minhyuk said. 

 

You grabbed you chopsticks and took a bit of his food. Your eyes widen and a smile automatically formed on your face. "It's delicious!" 

 

"I'm glad to hear that." He smiled. 

 

When everyone digged in to minhyuk's lunch box, Sungjae decided to steal Changsubs last egg roll and plopped it in his mouth. Changsub watch his egg roll as it disappeared into Sungjaes mouth and into his stomach. 

 

"Y-yah! That was supposed to be mine!" He yelled. 

 

"Well it's mine now." Sungjae smiled, satisfied. "Aigoo I'm full now." He leaned back to his chair rubbing his stomach. 

 

Changsub pouted. "Umma! He took my egg roll!" He pointed his finger to Sungjae who just rolled his eyes. 

 

You stopped eating to watch the scene. *umma?* you thought. 

 

"I'll make you more for dinner stop complaining." Minhyuk continued eating his food. 

 

"But....appa!" He called Eunkwang. 

 

"What do you want me to do it's already in his stomach." He said not caring at all. 

 

Changsub looked at Sungjae and scrunched his nose. He tackled him and did a head lock while Sungjae is trying to struggle out of it. "Yah! Hyung stop it!" "Not until I get my egg roll back!" He nudged his head with his knuckles. 

 

You couldn't help but to laugh, you thought it was really cute how they referred Minhyuk and Eunkwang as their parents. 

 

 They stopped when they heard a giggle that sounded like a melody coming from you. 

 

"What is it?" Changsub raised his eyebrow. "O-oh no it's nothing, I just think its cute how you guys referred you hyungs as your parents." You giggled some more. 

 

Changsub cleared his throat letting go of Sungjae and went back to his seat. Sungjae straighten his blazer and glares at his hyung. 

 

"Here I'll give you mine." You offered him and smiled like an angel. He too smiled and thanked you. 

 

"So Haerie what does your parents do?" Hyungsilk asked even thought he knew about your mother. 

 

You stopped eating and put your chopsticks down. "Actually I don't have parents, I live by myself." You said. "I guess my parents left me in an orphanage with a necklace they gave me to remember them." You touched your necklace  

 

You continued. "But it's ok, I'm sure I'll meet them someday." You meekly smiled. 

 

There was a gloomy aura going on and Changsub decided to lighten up the mood. "Hey Hearie, is it ok if I call you Rierie since we'll be seeing each other a lot?" He asked. 

 

*a nickname?* you thought "I-I guess it's alright." You would never thought someone would give you a nickname. But you had to admit it, you liked it a lot. 

 

"Alright than than you can call me..hmmm-oppa!" 

 

"O-oppa?" You were slightly shocked. 

 

"Yah yah we are all her oppa's your not the only one." Ilhoon corrected. Changsub scrunched his nose at Ilhoon. 

 

"How about it? Changsub is right this isn't the last time we'll be eating lunch together, we'll be your friends." Eunkwang said. 

 

*friends?* the word 'friend' coming out of someone else's mouth and asking you to become your friend made your eyes water. All those years of wanting a friend but instead you were greeted by bullies. You were lonley, you had no one to take care of you. But now there someone. 

 

You looked at everyone who smiled at you. A hot stream of tear slid down you cheek. "Neh! Please take care of me oppa's!" You smiled brightly. 

 

Minhyuk came over to you and  wrapped his hand on your shoulder giving it a slight squeeze. "Aigoo there's no need to cry, you won't be as beautiful as me if you cry." He took out his handkerchief to wipe your tears acting as a mother. You giggled at Minhyuk little joke. 

 

And that was when your life changed by meeting these people, your friends but the journey doesn't stop here it has just begun ...
