Sing Me a Song
Seoul MadnessShe felt immense glares from everyone, as if every single student in the class wants her dead.
But her newly-assigned partner seems to be all cool about it, just like always.
They're having music class now, the only class she is passionate about and doesn't fail in. There's a new project tasked but before it is revealed, the class has to draw lots to determine the partners the students will work with. There's a box on the teacher's table. It contains the names of all the girls in the class and the guys have to go up to the box one by one to pick their partners.
When it got to his turn, he walks up towards the table with hands in his pocket. Dozens of dreamy sighs could be heard as the girls watch him pass by them.
He maintains a charming smile as he puts his hand inside the box. He pulls out a slip of paper and many held their breaths as they wait for his response.
