Ah, it's the first day of college already. Time for the freshmen to make a great first impression towards the sophomores, juniors, seniors and of course, their lecturers. As expected, everyone came early and the campus was buzzling with the arrival of the new faces.


The clear sky was above them, it felt like a good day. Birds chirped and flew as the nervous yet excited students ran to their specific buildings. Among them, a group was busy chatting away with little laughs coming out once in a while.

"And then? It literally went KABOOM!", Nari used gestures to explain the catastrophe that happened the other day at the Lee household, while Yeonri only laughed hearing the funny incident.

"That's why you don't let Donghyuck cook. Right Hyuckie?", Nari nudged the boy beside her, who was glaring at her before rolling his eyes and looked the other way.

"Well anyways, today's our first day! How does it feel to finally be an adult huh?"

"Really nerve wrecking, look at all these new faces. I'm feeling a bit introverted right now", Yeonri chuckled nervously.

"You're always introverted though", Nari deadpanned. "I respect you for that but sometimes you gotta meet new people. It's apart of life!"

"Yeah, definitely...", Yeonri still felt nervous and hoped for only the best. She wasn't really good with these kind of things, and to think that no one else is in the art course with her.

Well, except for Renjun. That's one thing, at least she's pretty close with him so that's one worry off the list.

"Hey boys!", Nari sent a big wave at the larger group once they met. The others replied with a simple "hey" or a nod, all also excited for the day to begin.

"You guys gotta know how bad of a thirdwheel I was with these lovebirds", Renjun deadpanned as he jabbed a thumb towards Xiu Ying and Chenle who stood beside him, holding hands.

"There, there. You'll find your soulmate some day. Or maybe not", Renjun threatened to punch Donghyuck who only laughed as he patted the older's shoulder.

"Hold on, where's Jihye?", Nari asked when she felt the absence of the two twins.

"Here!!", And there the two matching blue hair siblings came, running through the hallway as they stopped and crouched simultaneously panting for air.

"Wow, you two look like you ran a whole marathon", Jisung commented.

"That's because...we did!", Jihye gasped for air.

"This...dumbhead...left the keys...in the car! So we ran...here...", Jaemin followed soon after.

"Wow Jihye, such great actions!", Jeno clapped sarcastically but stopped when he felt threatened by her glare.

"If Jaemin didn't rush me, we would've came with our car fine!"

"You still left the keys though"

"Yeah but still-!"

"Yeah but still-", Jaemin mocked.

And there continued the bickering between the Na twins, and everyone else ignoring them.

Nari sighed. "Sibling fights, can relate", Donghyuck slapped her arm.

"Jisung and I aren't even siblings but we fight. A lot", Jeno shrugged.

"You cheated during Kart Rider!"

"Did not!"

"Imagine having a sibling that's WAYYYY younger than you", Renjun rubbed his temples. "Mei Ren stole my Apple Pencil and almost snapped it in half!"
