Minsoo stood outside J-High, taking in the building before him, The school was known for being filled with delinquents, He adjusted the strap of his bag and sighed.
The moment he stepped through the gates, all eyes were on him.
Whispers spread.
"Who is that?"
"Damn, he's hot!"
"Is he a new transfer student?"
Girls started approaching him, giggling and whispering among themselves Some tried to introduce themselves, while others straight-up asked for his number.
"Hey! Are you new here? What's your name?"
"Oppa, do you want to hang out after school?"
"Can I have your Instagram?"
Minsoo sighed "Sorry, but I'm not interested," he said smoothly, brushing past them.
More girls blocked his path, but he remained unfazed, weaving through them as he made his way toward the school building.
Some guys were glaring at him, clearly jealous? A few tried to size him up, but the moment their eyes met his, they backed off.
"This is more exhausting than I thought, is this a dating place?" he muttered, barely managing to reach his classroom.
...
The teacher clapped their hands, calling for attention "Alright, settle down We have a new student joining us today, Please introduce yourself."
Minsoo stepped inside his new classroom, scanning the students His eyes immediately landed on Zack Lee and others.
Minsoo stepped forward "Hello everyone, My name Minsoo-Ji Seop From Gangnam-gu, and I just turned 18, I'm a fresher here, I enjoy playing Sports and traveling and I'm also a avid Webtoon/ Novel reader."
Minsoo ignored the Whispers and took a seat next to Zack.

At that moment, Zoe Park and Mira Kim turned toward him.
"Minsoo, right?" Zoe asked with a friendly smile.
"Yeah."
"I'm Zoe, and this is Mira" she introduced.
As the morning classes passed, Soon, it was lunchtime.
Minsoo at the cafeteria, grabbing a tray of food and looking for a place to sit, That's when a loud voice called out.

"I have a gut feeling that you are not a bad guy." Vasco said.
Vasco grinned "I like you! What's your name?"
Minsoo Was taken back 'Huh'
"...Minsoo-Ji Seop."
Vasco stepped forward "let's be friends."
Minsoo raised his hand "I gladly Accept, Vasco Right?"
'He's same as In Webtoon, I thought Our first meeting will be in fighting but..., he's intelligent Is little worrying.' Minsoo thought.
However, the mood quickly changed when Vin Jin strolled over with his usual arrogance.

"So, you're the new hotshot everyone's talking about?, Ugly" Vin said, smirking.
Minsoo glanced at him "Who are you?"
Vin scoffed "Tch, typical, You should know who I am, I'm Vin Jin, the best rapper in J-High."
Minsoo raised an eyebrow "Rapper? Oh, you mean discount Eminem?"
Zack choked on his drink, and Vasco burst out laughing, Everyone was trying to hold back a smile.
Vin's face twitched "What did you just say?!"
Minsoo Stared at him "I mean, you're trying way too hard with that wannabe bad-boy persona Sunglasses indoors, Really? What, are you afraid of the cafeteria lights?"
Vin gritted his teeth "You got a big mouth for a newbie."
"And you got big talk for someone who gets clowned every day," Minsoo shot back "You rap, right? Too bad your trash flow can't even keep up with your own ego."
Vin clenched his fists "Tch! Whatever, man I don't have time for this."
He turned and walked away, clearly humiliated.
Zack patted his back, still laughing "Damn, Minsoo, You completely destroyed him."
Vasco Just grinned.
Minsoo simply Smiled and took another bite of his food.
By the end of the day, Minsoo had already built relationships with the main cast.
Zack Lee was now a friend, someone he could spar a joke around with.
Zoe, and Mira had accepted him into their group, making him feel welcome.
Vasco respected him for what he did in cafeteria.
As he walked out of school, stretching his arms "Not a bad first day."
And with that, Minsoo headed home.

The morning sun of Saturday spilled softly through the curtains as Hana tied her hair into a loose ponytail, humming lightly She glanced back to see Minsoo struggling with the vacuum cleaner, frowning like it was his mortal enemy.
"You're holding it wrong" Hana giggled, walking over.
Minsoo scowled "What do you mean wrong? It's just a stick that eats dust."
She shook her head and gently moved his hands "No, see You're supposed to let it glide, not push it like you're fighting someone."
Minsoo sighed After a moment, the vacuum moved smoothly across the floor, He shot her a look "See, I was just testing."
"Uh-huh," Hana teased, rolling her eyes.
After cleaning, they moved into the kitchen The counters were soon covered with vegetables, eggs, and bags of noodles Hana wore an apron, sleeves rolled up, while Minsoo sat at the counter cutting carrots, sloppily.
"Hey, don't cut your fingers" Hana warned.
Minsoo smiled "Relax."
Yet, seconds later, he almost sliced too close, and Hana quickly grabbed his hand, glaring "Idiot! Be careful."
Minsoo chuckled.
So, she stood behind him, guiding his hands with hers, her soft voice giving instructions the knife clinking rhythmically on the board.
They cooked together for nearly an hour, and when the food was ready, they carried the dishes to the living room, Ramen, stir-fried vegetables, fried eggs, and even a simple salad It wasn't fancy.
As they ate, Hana laughed at the way Minsoo slurped his noodles "You're like a kid."
"And?" Minsoo turned "At least I'm enjoying it."
After lunch, they moved to the living room again, this time with a stack of board games and an console Hana dug out They played round after round of simple games, Hana's competitive spirit came out, her face scrunched with determination, while Minsoo cheated shamelessly, making her chase him around the table.
By evening, they were both exhausted, lying side by side on the couch, the TV quietly playing, Hana's head rested on Minsoo's shoulder, her eyes closed.
