the sun is shining brightly. the spring season has ended. now it's hot summer here to greet us and then there's one more thing that has started.
it is college
the Korea University ( Seoul )
students are walking around in campus. some are reading books and some are scrolling their phone. a few students are riding hoverboard and skating board.
a girl is running to reach somewhere. she enters the building and starts running on stairs. she has snacks and juice with her. she climbs up two floors and stops to catch her breath.
she is around 19 years old. she is wearing white t-shirt and black jeans. she has tied her hair up. her bangs are all wet in sweat.
she bents down and puts her hands on her knees and breaths heavily. after catching her breath she again starts to runs on stairs. she climbed up three floors.
" I swear, I would have beaten the sh*t out of her if she wasn't my childhood friend. she makes me sick." says mi ran and stares at the gate of library.
Lee mi ran. studying in Korea University. freshman year, majoring in sports kickboxing and mixed martial arts. grumpy and always ready to pick a fight. she is fearless and fierce. her only dream is to become a spy agent and that's why she is majoring in martial arts. she looks thin but can fight with five muscle men at one time.
she is a tomboy but she looks very beautiful. she is 173 cm tall. she looks small but is very dangerous. fair tone, neck long black hair and bangs on forehead. small eyes, thin face and single chin.
she has only one friend so far but she hates her the most because she is only into books and music. mi ran never trusts anyone nor she loves anyone except this friend of her.
she left her home when she was in high school because her father wanted her become a fashion designer yet she is not interested in girlish things.
now mi ran has brought snacks for her friend because she's been in library for more that two days and didn't return to dormitory.
Lee mi ran enters the library and starts searching for her friend.
the library is quite big. it's filled with books and readers. students are studying here peacefully. Lee mi ran is looking around and one person catches her eyes.
it's Kim Ji shin. Lee mi ran's friend. Kim Ji shin thinks something and her lips are moving like she is speaking something without sound. she thinks and writes it in her diary.
Kim Ji shin has shoulder long brownish hair. she has split them up on her shoulder. she is wearing butterfly hairclip. a small face, chubby chicks, and big eyes. her mouth is small and lips are pink. big cheeks and small mouth. she around 169 cm tall and she is thin but not skinny.
" KIM JI SHIN!!". mi ran shouts so loud that even person walking in corridor can hear her.
Ji shin hears mi ran shouting and looks up. she sees mi ran coming to her like a meteoroid. mi ran comes near her table and slams the food packet on it.
all the students and librarian are looking at them. librarian lady is glaring at Ji shin. Ji shin stands up and smiles awkwardly.
she bows to everyone and apologises
librarian lady walks away with a death glare
" Kim ji shin what the fvck is wrong with you
you p*nk. you have been staying at library for two days .. have you get married to this d*mn book graveyard." mi ran keeps shouting regardless her surroundings.
everyone in the library looks at them. Ji shin again apologises to everyone and smiles awkwardly.
she sits mi ran down beside her and gives her water-bottle.
" mi ran-ah why are you shouting in the library?" says Ji shin and sits down.
" IT'S BECAUSE YOU.". mi ran again shouts but Jin shin puts her hand on her mouth and shuts her up.
she looks around with an awkward smile.
" keep you voice low please. librarian lady will not let me enter library ever again." Ji shin joints hands and pleads.
" fine fine! but I think it would be Great if that lady blacklists you. at least you won't come here." says mi ran with an annoyed face.
" don't say like that! *pout* I know you are having hard time covering up for me at dormitory but what to do I am working on my new song lyrics and I'll be having an assignment also that's why I got to work hard on both." says Ji shin and makes cute face. she holds mi ran's arm and cuddles with her.
" now don't act cute. I brought snacks for you. eat them." says mi ran and shoves away Jin shin's hand. mi ran can't resist ji shin's cuteness as she loves her a lot but acts tough
Jin shin hugs mi ran , " thank you mi ran! you are the best."
mi ran looks at Ji shin and adores her cuteness. she smiles and opens the snacks.
Ji shin Continues writing her lyrics and mi ran feeds her the triangle kimbap she brought for her.
ji shin is an orphan. her only family is her step parents. they are actually her uncle and aunt. her father was in a military and he martyred in a war when she was 5 years old. her mother raised her all alone by working in a restaurant as chef. her mother passed away in a disease when she was in junior high.
her uncle and aunt took her responsibilities. they told her that they will take her responsibilities until she gets into a university after that she will be on her own.
ji shin was always an straight A student so she could easily get into Korea University on scholarship.
now both mi ran and ji shin lives in dormitory of Korea University and works part time at a convenience store nearby.
" why do you write this lyrics when you don't want to be an idol. I mean you have a nice voice and you create good songs too. why not consider becoming an idol. you got a good appearance too, boys are already head to toe over you, they will go crazy after you." mi ran teases ji shin and clings onto her.
ji shin slightly pushes her away because she is disturbing her writing, " I don't wish to become an idol. I write lyrics because it makes me happy."
" yeah yeah! why not? writing does make you happy. you write novels and songs. you are so into that boyband, what was the name? oh yes BTS, but what you are studying is, arts. why? because your parents wanted you to become a civil servant and get a government job." says mi ran and rolls her eyes.
" yeah. i do! now don't disturb me. I have almost completed this song. and now I need to read some law books." says Ji shin and puts her own down
ji shin gets up and goes towards the bookshelf. she is looking at the books and searching for the one she wants.
mi ran follows her. ji shin takes out one books and starts reading it.
mi ran stands beside her supporting herself on bookshelf. she takes a bite of kimbap.
" but shin shin how come you stayed in the library. I heard they closed the library at 7:00pm. then where do you spent the night?" mi ran asks to ji shin.
ji shin puts the book back and takes an another book and goes to her seat. mi ran follows and sits beside her.
" at the baseball ground. the lights there are always on so it's easy to study there." says Ji shin and opens the book.
" are you crazy? you should have just came back to dorm." mi ran yells but this time she keeps her sound low.
" don't you know the rules? they turns off the lights after 11:00 and I had to complete my assignments and I needed to make notes too." says Ji shin and starts writing main points from the book in her notebook.
" studying civics and getting government job is hell on earth. respect my girl!" says mi and salutes Ji shin.
Ji shin smiles, " now you go! it's time for your practice."
" oh hell yeah! I forgot. then I'll run." says mi ran and gets up.
" wait!" Ji shin stops mi ran.
" what is it?" mi ran turns around.
" can you give this diary to min young do. he wanted to read my songs for some inspiration. he is going for an audition the day the after tomorrow." says Ji shin and gives a purple cover diary with all flowery and starry stickers to mi ran
" that p*nk! he only knows how to waste his time. how many time he aims to get rejected." say mi ran with annoyed face and takes the diary.
" don't say that! you must encourage him when you meet him okay?" says Ji shin and smiles.
" whatever!" Mi ran leaves from there.
Ji shin chuckles on her act and continues studying.
mi ran again starts running on stairs. she is going down and bumping into other students who are calmly going on their way.
mi ran reaches downstairs and leaves the building. she has a target of working out that needs to be completed so she can't help but run. she starts running in campus walkway.
