The school bell rang, signaling the start of another day for Section 10-E.
As the usual classroom chatter filled the air, the teacher entered, prompting a synchronized chorus of "Good morning, Miss!" from the students. After settling everyone down, she introduced Ji-hoon, a new transfer student who had moved to the city for his father's work.
As he walked in, his striking blonde hair and intense red eyes gave off a mysterious, almost villainous aura. He immediately locked eyes with Seo-yoon, staring at her with such intensity that she couldn't help but feel like she was trapped in a cliché K-drama plot.
Her best friend and deskmate, the sweet and bubbly Eun-jin, couldn't resist teasing her, whispering that the "new guy" was clearly falling for her. Seo-yoon brushed it off with a blush, insisting it was real life, not a TV show, as they turned their attention to the lesson.
When the lunch bell finally rang, the hallways were already buzzing with girls swooping over Ji-hoon's handsome looks. Seo-yoon and Eun-jin ignored the gossip as they headed toward the canteen.
To liven things up, Seo-yoon revealed a surprise: she had invited her cousin, Kim, to join them. Kim, a smart and popular student from Section D, had been Eun-jin's secret crush for two years. While Eun-jin turned into a stuttering mess at the thought of facing him, Seo-yoon remained the ultimate wingwoman. Ignoring her friend's protests and nerves, Seo-yoon grabbed Eun-jin's hand and practically dragged her toward the canteen, determined to finally help her best friend to make a move.
