Bae Suzzzzzy: Full time avior, Part time Bully...

By some fateful accident, Bae Suzy found her very very first friend.

By some fateful accident, Kim Jongin found his very first girl friend.

Their first day flew by with a blink of an eye. ‘A hovering bullet with the speed of light,’ as Suzy would describe. Their awkward ‘hi’ and ‘hello’ - I mean, just Jongin’s – became non-stop chatting before classes, during classes,  after classes and pass sleep time phone calls.

There was never a day, since they became seatmates that they were not called out because of their noisiness. Most of the times, the cause of this trouble is Bae Suzy, ofcourse. When she would get bored with her English subject and starts to poke Jongin’s cheeks with her mini-strawberry eraser attached to her pencil, that’s where the chaos starts.

Why won’t he talk to me? Is he getting serious with our English classes again? But, I already taught him the trick! Did he forget already?

Omo! Omo! Kim Jongin is such a grandpabbie!

Suzy’s poking became bearable to Jongin with time. Well, who wouldn’t be immune with that when she’s doing that every day? It’s not that Jongin complains or whatever, it’s just that, he thinks not to be kicked out in class for a day would be really good.

He tries to ignore that poking though as long as he can but then, all he can just do is try.

“Why are you ignoring me? Do still find English hard? I already told you the trick!”

“Shhh. I know, I know.”

“Then why are you ignoring me? I’m your very very first friend ever and I’m your one and only adorable, most-talented and prettiest best friend~ yah!”

Suzy continued with the poking with matching polo-tugging now.

Why isn’t he talking to me? I am so so so bored! Aha! I know what to do! I know~ I know~

“Kim Jonginie~ Jonginie~ look at me! Look at me once! Jonginie~ Handsome Jonginie~ Smart Jonginie~ Suzy’s only boy friend Jonginie~ look at me!”

Persistent is an understatement for Bae Suzy. She doesn’t even know what ‘giving up’ means. She’s very tenacious to her wants and believes that if she can’t get it with her small talks, she’ll get it by her ‘buing buing’ – her greatest power ever.

Jongin, on the other hand, can’t concentrate with anything but his current mantra: ‘do not look to Bae Suzy right now and don’t fall into her trap’.

He knows that once he glance at her, he can’t help but be pulled by her ‘greatest power ever’. He can’t even get away with it even if he wants to – The Real Bae Suzy beauty is too precious to ignore once you saw it.

“Kim Jonginie~ Kim Jonginie~”

Momo always says that ignoring is not good. Lady Kim says it too! But… but…

He is still ignoring me! I am mad. Should very very first friends be ignored like this? No no no. Now, I have to make actress Suzy come out!

“Stop annoying me!!”

Everyone, for the nth time, looked at the short, white girl in pigtails.

“Miss Bae! You are not allowed to shout in my class. Why are you not paying attention?”

“Teacher, Kim Jongin keeps on bothering me!”

“What? I am not bothering you! You are the one that’s bothering me!”

“I am doing it because I’m your very very first friend!”

“I am also doing it because you are my very first girl friend!”

“But you ignored me! Momo always says it’s bad not to pay attention to people who are talking to you! It hurts their feelings! You hurt my feelings!”

“You are disturbing my class! Both of you-–”

“Excuse us teacher, but we are still talking.”

“Suzy-ah! You can’t just talk to our teacher like that!” Jongin looked to Mister Lee and bowed. “I’m sorry teacher; Suzy was just carried away with her feelings. She didn’t mean to disrespect you. Sorry for disturbing your class too and for not paying attention.”

After three tugs in Suzy’s waist by Jongin, she also bowed.

“I’m sorry too, teacher. I swear I really don’t want to disturb our class and have everyone’s attention to us but Jongin keeps on annoying me and since I’m only a human with a short patience for annoying people, I got annoyed. I wasn’t able to—”

“Is it only my fault again? I did not annoy you!”

“You did! You annoyed me!”

“You were the one who keeps on poking me with your strawberry short cake eraser!”

“I said I only did that because you’re my friend!”

“But you’re only blaming me! You also have—”

“Both of you, stop it!”

“We’re not done yet, teacher.”

Everyone was surprised and amazed with what happened. Surprised because they were both too bold having said that and amazed because it’s rare to see people agree on a same thing in the middle of an argument but they did.

But then, this is Jongin and Suzy. They’re a breed of new and unique species.

The unicorn and dog – yes, unicorn, because Suzy believes she’s a personified unicor
