Chaeyoung

"How can someone be this beautiful?"

A guy whispered to himself as he study every feature of my face. My eyes widened a bit when his hand reached for my cheek. He caressed it with the back of his fingers and I felt shivers down my spine. I lightly slapped his hand away.

"What are you doing?" I asked, puzzled by his actions.

He was about to speak but someone spoke behind him. I watch another guy with a blurry face come closer. The guy who came smacked the back of the other guy's head before turning to me. He gave me a friendly smile.

"Sorry about that, Miss." He said. Even though their faces are blurry, I can say that they both look angelic.

"It's okay. What's your name?" I asked. He smiled again and brought his head just near my ear.

"I'm one of your admirers, Miss Park." He whispered before leveling his face to mine. His eyes drifted down on my lips. I don't know who he is and I don't know how he got to know my surname. I saw him tilting his head for a kiss that made me froze. My eyes slowly closed and–

"Chaeyoung, wake up! Breakfast is ready!"

My brows furrowed when I heard a familiar and annoying voice.

"Chaeyoung!"

I groaned and buried my face on my pillow, trying to go back to sleep and continue what I was dreaming of.

"Chaeyoung! Get up and join us for breakfast!" Her loud voice filled my room. I groaned and covered myself with my comforter. But after a while, I felt it being pulled away. I was trying to cover myself again when she sat on top of me. I sighed in annoyance.

"Get off me."

"If I do that, would you get up?" She asked. "Hurry! Breakfast is ready!" Annoyance grew inside me when she suddenly bounced up and down on top of me.

"Lisa!"

"Sorry!" She giggled before getting off of me. I opened my eyes and blinked to make my vision clear. I looked around and there I saw her standing at the side of my bed with a big smile on her lips. I glared at her.

"Let's go! Hurry!" She shouted. I reached for one of my pillows and threw it at her. It hit her chest before it fell on the carpeted floor. She looked at me with her lips slightly parted in shock.

"You're now hurting me?" She asked in disbelief.

I rolled my eyes and lazily got off the bed. "That clearly didn't hurt." She made a face at me before going out of my room. Once I got out of my room after taking a shower and changing into my uniform, aroma of coffee and pancakes reached my nostrils. I walked towards the small four seater dining table where my friends are.

"Good morning, Chaeyoung." Jisoo greeted that made Jennie turn her head at me. She smiled and pulled the chair beside her.

"We started to eat since we're all hungry already and you're still taking a shower. Come take a seat and eat." She told me. I sat beside her and looked across me, only to see Lisa glowering at me. I made a face at her.

"Don't fight, you two." Jisoo said while putting a pancake on my plate. "Eat, Chaeyoung. Class starts in fifteen minutes."

The three of us are currently walking at the hallway, heading to our classrooms. Jisoo went to the other way because that's where the college building is. Jisoo is a freshman. Jennie is in her twelfth year while Lisa and I are in our eleventh year.

Students at the hallway are busy minding their own businesses. A group of friends are chatting loudly. A group of mean girls are gossiping while their leader is putting lipstick on her lips, and a nerdy girl is reading a book at their side. I watch her hurriedly follow the mean girls when the four started to walk away.

"Kwan has become a slave of Hyojin's group." Jennie said.

"Who's Kwan?" Lisa asked while taking a selfie.

"Jung Kwan. Everybody knows her as the gullible nerd. Girls bully her the most. So childish." Jennie slightly shook her head in disappointment.

When we entered the building, a few screams enveloped my ears. I frowned a bit when I saw a bunch of girls at the corridor, squealing like some sort of rats. I took my eyes off them and looked straight ahead. And there I saw three tall guys that could pass as a model.

They are a part of the popular group in the campus, and they are all in college already. They are twelve and they are all good friends. All of them are good-looking, talented and rich. And obviously, almost all the girls in the campus fancy them.

The tallest of the three of them, Park Chanyeol, has a friendly smile curved on his lips. The one on his left, Byun Baekhyun, is smiling and winking a little. And the one on his right, Kim Jongin or Kai, has a flirty smirk on his lips and has his hands inside his pockets.

I took my eyes off them and the three of us just kept on walking. From the corner of my eyes, we were about to walk past them when I saw Jongin stopped and turned his head at our direction. When we walked past them, my eyes drifted to a few girls standing at the side. One of them rolled her eyes at us and Lisa saw it. Lisa being Lisa, looked at her from head to toe as we walk past them.

"See you at lunch, girls." Jennie unnie told us when we are already outside her classroom. Lisa and I waved at her before heading to our room.

Our classmates were a little noisy when we entered our classroom. Junhoe, one of Lisa and I's classmates, was singing loudly. While one of his friends, Donghyuk, is wearing earphones.

Lisa and I went to our seats at the back. She's seated near the window while I'm seated on her left side. Eunha, a cute girl who's seated on my left, smiled and greeted me.

"Hi." I greeted back. "Where's Yuju?" I asked when I didn't see her best friend who usually sit beside her. She smiled at me.

"She's not feeling well today." She answered.

"It's the first week of school and she's not feeling well? That's sad." Lisa butted in. I didn't know she was listening to our conversation.

"Right. But I know she'll get better soon. She recovers fast." Eunha smiled. The three of us continued chatting until Miss Lee arrived, making the three of us go quiet.

"Good morning everyone."
