IT HURTS LIKE HELL ---» {NCT DREAM}

New student, New friend

Walking inside the school, she could feel a few pairs of eyes staring at her, ignoring it, she continues her walk to the office, taking off her earphone first before knocking the door, she heard a faint 'come in'. Opening the door, she sees a woman in her 20s, 30s is organizing the papers in her hand, without looking up from them

-Yes, can I help you?

-U-Um... I'm the new student?

Looking up, a sincere smile is on her face, while handing out her hand for a handshake, which she quickly takes it

-Yes, of course. I'm Ms. Chu. You must be Han Aera.

Aera nodded, tracing back her hand

Mc-Let me just look for your time table and I will take you to your class

Nodding once again, she watches as her principal look through her drawer and pull out a piece of paper, putting on her blazer that's hanging on the chair, she tells Aera to follow her. Walking out from the room, Ms. Chu lock the door, looking down at her principal legs, she sees a sneaker instead of a high heel, 'She's quite cool'. She smiles at Aera before walking towards the one specific class, as the bell already ring minutes ago, the hallway is quite empty, arriving in front of a classroom, she knocks the door before sliding it open

-Oh, Ms. Chu.

Aera heard a male voice from inside the class, guessing it's her soon to be teacher

Mc-Ah, great it's you. Mr. Jung, I got a new student for you. Come on Aera

Signaling Aera to come closer to her, she put her hand around her shoulder

Mc-I will leave her to you, yeah?

Mr. Jung nodded as Ms. Chu raise her eyebrow telling her to go in with a small smile on her face, after Aera stand beside the teacher, she closes the door, leaving Aera completely under Mr. Jung care, she stares at all the students in the class, some is smiling at her, some is glaring at her and some is not even looking at her

Mj-Introduce yourself Aera.

Bowing down, Aera put on a small smile on her face once she stands up straight

-I'm Han Aera, hope we could all be friends...

A lie is being told, she doesn't even want to talk with them let on being friends with them, Mr. Jung smile asking if the class have any question, a boy raise his hand

-Are you a transfer student here, or...?

-No... I will stay here until the senior year end

Aera said as they're still on their Junior year. A girl then raises her hand

-Where are you from?

-I'm from Seoul

-Then why did you move to Busan? Why didn't you stay in the city?

Seeing that Aera is hesitating to answer the question, Mr. Jung decide to step in

Mj-Okay guys, the question section is over, why don't we find a sit for Aera-

Right after he said that, the girl that ask the question earlier raise her hand

-She could sit beside me, since Sejung is not going to come to school anymore

She said referring to her desk mates that didn't come to school from the beginning of the year

Mj-No, we don't know that Soobin, maybe tomorrow he would come

Mr. Jung scan the room, eyes stopping on the guy at the back that heads being put on the table with his sweater hood on, covering his face, there's an empty seat beside him

Mj-Donghyuck, could you raise your hand, please?

Aera stare at the guy that's his name is being called, seeing there's no reaction from him

-It's ok-

Mj-I know you could hear me Donghyuck.

Slowly raising his hand, Mr. Jung tell her to take a sit beside him, sitting on the chair, Aera glance at the guy beside her after taking out her books, it's not that she expects him to said something to her, but he doesn't even look to the front of the class and Mr. Jung doesn't even care and continue with his lesson, frown on her face, Aera turn to the front, ignoring about the boy beside her

-

Once the bell ring, the teacher walks to the desk, picking up her stuff, while the students is quick to leave the classroom to the cafeteria, Aera stand up, about to keep her book, when Donghyuck stand up and walk out from the class, Aera frowned, making her wonder what other kind of student this school have. Taking out a paper bag from her bag, she walks to the garden that she spots earlier, pushing the door open, there's no one inside as she sits on the table.

After a few minutes and already done eating her lunch, Aera is playing with her phone when she feels a presence beside her, looking up

-Sorry for what I ask about earlier in the class

-Oh, it's okay...

Aera turn back to her phone, feeling that the girl still didn't left, she looks back up, seeing her looking around while frowning

-Soobin, do you want to sit here?

Nodding, she sits beside her as Aera started their conversation first, chuckles, Aera stare at Soobin who's typing her number in her phone

'One friend couldn't hurt'
