“Look,” Sorae stated, glaring at the guy through his sunglasses. “I apologised already, and the coffee didn’t even ing touch you, so what do you want?” 

 

The guy has brownish-red hair, wearing a simple white tee with jeans. He took off his sunglasses and returned the glare with his own big round eyes. If he wasn’t so rude, Sorae would have swooned over him already but no. There were two other guys standing behind him, one with a bored look but the other with a surprised and shocked one.

 

Sorae caught a glimpse of one of the guys behind the red head and was shocked herself, but kept her composure and fixated her glare at the rude guy in front of her.

 

If looks could kill, this guy would have sliced Sorae into several pieces already. But she wasn’t bad herself, even the other customers in the coffee shop could sense the tense atmosphere. 

 

After what seemed like hours of just glaring, the red headed guy broke off the eye contact first, allowing Sorae to smirk at her little victory. 

 

He glanced at the logo of her uniform. “See you later.” He snorted, pushing Sorae roughly to the side before walking to the now worried old lady behind the counter. 

 

The two other guys behind him tagged along, one of whom Sorae desperately tried to avoid eye contact with. 

 

After managing her way out of the shop, she continued her way to school. “Why the hell would I see you later.” She hissed under her breath. But soon one particular person clouded her thoughts. 

 

Sorae bit the insides of her cheeks. What the , Cho Kyuhyun. 

 

---

 

“Hyung,” Siwon said, amused. “Its not like you to lose a glaring competition.”

“Well I must admit that that girl is really something,” Heechul said from inside the cubicle. Both Siwon and Kyuhyun could feel an evil smirk on his face.

 

“Hyung, let her off.” Kyuhyun washed his hands distractedly.

 

“No man, no. I bet she’s a new student. No one dared to come up against the great Kim Heechul.” Heechul opened the cubicle door and strutted out in a black uniform. He arranged his hair and admired himself in the mirror, another smirk creeping up his face.

 

“Things are gonna get really interesting.”

 

 

Sorae continued walking absentmindedly to the school gate, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around her.

 

“AH!” She yelped in surprise.

 

“Boo! Scared ya didn’t I.” The english is too familiar to not not recognise.

 

“Henry Lau!” Sorae turned around and returned the hug to her canadian friend. “If you scare me like that one more time I’ll make sure your ends up in the bin.” 

 

“Are you sure ‘coz your actions said otherwise.” Henry chuckled, but immediately stopped when Sorae squinted her eyes menacingly at him. “Okay okay chill dude. I’ve missed you.” 

 

“Aw I’ve missed my little mochi too.” Sorae grinned.

 

Henry, whom she met in Canada, is the son of her father’s business partner. Sorae’s family lived there for a few years with Mr Lau’s family so it would be easier for both fathers to discuss about their work. That was how Henry and Sorae knew each other and started to hang out frequently.

 

But a few years ago, their business became a huge success and decided that their main office should be in Korea. The Lau family thus moved to Seoul and Henry started his first year of high school at Kwanghee High. At that time, Sorae was studying in another high school but recently her father’s business expanded again and they had to move houses so that it would be more convenient. Sorae thus transferred to Kwanghee High for her last year in high school. 

 

Henry and Sorae began walking around the high school.

 

“Okay so how’s life.” Henry asked in english.

 

“Do you want to switch to korean.” Sorae stated, noticing that they have been receiving weird stares from others.

 

“Arraso, I’m good at both languages anyway.” Henry grinned cheekily. 

 

“Yah I’m the one who taught you korean!”

 

“Likewise I’m the one who taught you english!”

 

Both of them continued bickering until they reached their lockers.

 

“Yah -” 

 

Sorae started but stopped when she saw the three guys from earlier walking past them, now wearing the same black uniform. The red head gave her a knowing smirk and walked to his lockers, the other two guys tagging along right behind him. Kyuhyun was boring his eyes into her and Sorae desperately tried to look away. The other one still had the same bored expression. 

 

“Are you drooling over them or something?” Henry whispered. 

 

“What? No!” Sorae yelled, immediately turning red in embarrassment when the others around her gave her judgmental stares. She noticed the red head smirking at her through his mirror while arranging his hair. 

 

“Come on we need to talk.” Sorae dragged Henry to the cafeteria. 

 

“Who the hell are they?” Sorae hissed.

 

“You mean Heechul, Siwon and -”

 

“Kyuhyun. Yes who are they?” Sorae interrupted. 

 

Henry seemed surprised as to how she knew Kyuhyun but decided to ask later. “Uhm they are students here? They’re part of the popular SJ clique.”

 

“SJ clique?”

 

“Yes, the Super Junior clique.” Henry explained. “They are all the hottest and cutest guys here who hang out frequently together. Usually in smaller groups but they come together for outings and stuff.” 

 

“Really?” 

 

Henry nodded.

 

“Aw so why isn’t my mochi part of the clique then.” Sorae teased, but immediately regretted.

 

Henry’s face fell. “Another guy, Zhoumi, and I were part of the clique, but joined later than the others. Their fans all disagreed and threatened us. It was until Leeteuk, the supposedly leader of the clique, told them that we were just close friends with them, not part of the clique then they stopped. We still hang out but well, not so frequently.” 

 

Sorae was flabbergasted. “They actually have fans?”

 

“Dude, like I said they are the hottest and cutest guys here.” 

 

“Their fans must have been blind or something then.” 

She looked around the class.  They were all either reading their books or paying attention. Hardworking much bro?
