Cold Seatmate || Kang Taehyun

C H A P T E R - 1

Senior year. Kinda weird I'm graduating soon. It seems like it was just a week ago I was in high school. But I'm excited, except for one thing- studying.

"Han-ah, can you drive a bit faster? I'm getting late okay?" I nag my brother who's been rapping faster than the car.

"You're already late" he replied in an annoying voice to make me annoyed and pissed. Guess what? It worked.

"So, what? I don't wanna be late like more than 10 minutes on my first day of senior year"

"Why were you staring at yourself in the mirror for so long then?"

"Can you not put all the blame on me? You took so long making a rap or whatsoever while having breakfast"

"Okay then. We're even. Here we go, we've reached. Have a nice day~"

"Thanks. Have a nice day too Jisung" I said as I get myself ready to go out.

"Can you not always call me by my name?" He asked.

"What? That's the exact reason why you have a name. Bye" I replied as I walk out and quickly run in.

I'm totally late. I don't even know which class I'm sitting in. I quickly search for my name from the papers on the notice board.

Han Jiwan. 3- B. Okay. Second floor, left and corner most.

I'm already late so lemme just take my time and take a breath.

Not in a hurry I walk up the stairs. Kinda embarrassing, everyone looked out from the windows and look at me as if I just killed someone's cat. Finally, I reached my homeroom. I take a peek to see who my homeroom teacher would be.

Oh shit. Ms. Park. She knows me so well. She's totally gonna embarrass me. I should just go back home. But no, I can't, it's my first day.

Unfortunately, she saw me and cane out.

"Jiwan Han, you're late. Any good explanation?" She asked.

"No. I'm sorry, I won't repeat it"

"Stick with your words. Come in" she said as I follow her in.

"Seems like someone is late" she said out loud but I see lots of familiar faces smiling at me which makes me not feel worse. "Everyone already had an introduction. Why don't you too?" She continued as she look at me.

"Oh, oh! Okay. Hello, everyone. I'm Han Jiwan. Nice to meet you all. Let's get along well and have a nice year" I said and bow as they clap their hands.

"Okay so, let's search where you'll be seated" she said and look around. I saw my two friends sitting at the left side and some good looking guys.

Fingers crossed. Ms. Park please! You know my friends.

"I know I don't have all the top 5 students from last year but anyone among the top 5?" She asked.

Top 5? Top 5?! Ya joking? Are you trying to make me sit near a geek?

Two hands were raised. A boy and a girl. They don't even look familiar. I thought I knew everyone.

"Okay, Jiwan, go and sit next to Kang Taehyun and try to learn something from him"

Geez! You have to embarrassed me like that?

I bow and move towards him at the right side. I glance at my friends looking at me feeling so bad for me. I take off my bag and sit next to him.

"Hi, Taehyun, I hope we can have a great year together as seatmates" I said nicely to him. He just take a quick glance at me and move his eyes to the front again.

Geez! So cold and proud. Can't believe I'm sitting with this dude for this whole year. Heard seats don't get changed. Oh gosh! Learn something from him? I don't even think I'll be able to have a decent talk with him.
