England, United Kingdom

A serious accident happen. There's a girl, covered in blood outside an upside down car. She's crying while holding a hand.

"I'm sorry for standing you up,", says the owner of the hand.

"No, no, no. You promise me that you will take me around. What can I do without you. Promise me that you will be fine."say the girl desperately.

" Silly girl, promise can't fight against fate. I'm sorry Minhwa ya, for not be able to fulfil my promise to you. But I hope you will fulfil yours... "

The girl named Minhwa stunned when she felt that the hand that she's holding tight to loose its strength."No,no,no!You can't go!" said her and she cried more painfully.

The sound of emergency siren is approaching. The ambulance and the police arrived at the scene. The ambulance worker brings the survivors of the car crash into the vehicle. Minhwa just keep silence like she's traumatised until she muttered ;

"Don't worry, I promise..."

Gangnam-gu, Seoul

"Yah, Han Taemin. If you're going to just study and not to hangout with me, you better don't call me here." say a handsome boy.

The boy named Taemin turn his head to his direction. He smile.

"If I remembered it right, you just said that you're thankful for calling you here because you want to escape from your mom nagging. You even brought textbooks, don't forget that the exam is around the corner."

"I couldn't deny the fact but I think I need to go home. I forgot to do my English homework."

Taemin clenched his forehead. "Which homework?" "I just got massage from Naeun that we're given homework for today's lesson."

"Didn't we supposed to finished it in class?"

"I slept."reply him shortly." I'll be going"

Taemin nod and then he say;

"Ouh, yeah, Jungki! Before I forgot, teacher Soogeun tell me that you should bring his things tomorrow." "Okay, got it."

Right after Jungki left, Taemin lie on his bed, "Hwa.." and then smile.

Chungdam High-school

Kringgg! The bell rang, means the first period has started. The second floor corridor is empty because the students has already in their class, meanwhile the two best friend walk nice and slowly. Taemin and Jungki really live up their name for being the bad guy of the school.

On the opposite side, there's a girl who walk really fast. Unfortunately, she bump onto Taemin. Her glasses fall. She pick it up but doesn't put it on.

"Uh, I'm so, so sorry. I didn't mean to", she apologies without looking at him.

Taemin is getting playful. Because they're close to the wall, Taemin wall-slammed her. The girl's surprise.

"If 'sorry' work, I don't think there needed to have police." say Taemin and smirk. And then he's about to continue with his hand on the girl's chin. 'huh, she must be drowning in happiness now. It's hard to be charming', thought him. Jungki just stay in his place and enjoy the show.

"Um, excuse me, if it doesn't work, then notify me what's work later. I'm in a hurry. Bye", say the girl and then she slip out from the wall-slammed. She continues to walk rushly.

Taemin stunned. He can't believe what just happen. Did he just got rejected? Even Jungki shock with the shocking scene.

"I can't believe this. Did the hottest guy in school got rejected by the average-looking girl?" state Jungki with a laugh.

Taemin's devastated. He never feel this embarrassment his whole life. How dare she! . He glare at Jungki who is laughing.

"You better shut up or I'll skin you, alive! Let's go."

Jungki hold his laughter and keep walking. Finally, the arrive at their class. They open the class door and say, "sorry, we're late!"

They said it bravely because the teacher on teach is teacher Katy. She got younger boys fetish and she has a thing with Jungki.

"It's okay, you're just 5 minutes late." said her with her sweetest voice. The whole class in thinking the same ' wh*re'.

The two boys take their sit and the lessons continued. Suddenly, the door got knock and teacher Katy goes out for a while.

She got back in with someone but Taemin is not interested in knowing who.

"Class, today we will have a new classmate. Introduce yourself."

"okay, um, hi, my name is Woo Minhwa.I got transferred here from England. Nice to meet you guys. Hope we will get along." the whole class in awe, maybe because hearing the she comes from England, a foreign country.

Taemin also raise his head, not because he heard the transfer student's previous school, but because he recognised the voice.

'Found you...'

...

"Wow, England! So you must be fluent in English right? (in English)" ask teacher Katy.

Minhwa smile at her new teacher and answer her question. "Pretty much yes. I was born and raised there. This is my first time in Korea. So I'm gonna be really grateful if you guys can show me around or guide me."

"One more question from me, are you even Korean ? You didn't look like one", ask teacher Katy.

"Umm, yeah, I'm Korean, my DNA is 100% Korean. It just that I don't look like one."

"Ouh, okay. You can take your seat in the back, right next to the window",instruct the teacher.

"Okay!" reply her cheerily and moved to the mentioned desk. When she right in front of the desk, she gasp a little. The desk is full of nasty words written and torn up.

"The transfer student's so unlucky to have the desk. I feel sorry for her."

Minhwa ignore the murmured and take a seat. After that, she feel like she's being stare at. She look to her right and saw a good looking boy is looking at her. She smile to him and he ignored her then look in front.

She pissed. 'Minhwa, hold it. Its your first day. Don't look for trouble', thought Minhwa, trying to remind herself.

While on the other side, Taemin is stunted by her smile. What's that smile means? Is she mocking me?Or she doesn't remember me? Aish, the second option is not possible. There's no way to not notice my face.

Times ticking real fast. The bell rang for so many time until the fourth period start. The teacher on teach is not in, so the class in on self study mode. But of course, typical high schoolar, not much student's on the self study.

As Taemin predicted, 2/3 of the classroom flooding the new student.

"Are you really born and raised in England? Your Korean language is nice though", ask someone.

Minhwa smile by hearing the question. "My parents is quite strict when its come to Korean language. I even attend the Korean class to improve the language."

"Owh, but I think England is a great place, why did you end up here?" ask another one.

Minhwa smile faded a little, then she smile bitterly. "Actually, I came here for a holiday with my family, but we got caught with an accident. My parent.."

Minhwa stop there. She can't seem to continue or else she believe that she will cry right on the spot.

"Oo, sorry"

Minhwa smile bitterly, and say" It's okay, you didn't know right? ". Minhwa place a look at the corridor outside the classroom and say;

" I need to meet the teacher - in - charge for my transfer. He told me too meet him on the free time. Sorry, excuse me. "

Minhwa stand up and walk through the door. She took a glance at her new classmates before going. She didn't blame them for that, she pretty sure they didn't know. But she still seems to be hurt by their ignorance.

On the way back from school

Taemin and Jungki fetch their bicycle at the parking area and cycle it. Because their house is the opposite side, they separated half way.

"Finally!" say Taemin when he arrive at his house. He get in the house and saw his father in the living room.

"Eh, dad. You didn't go to work?" ask him.

"No, I got mc ( medical check up)." answer his father without looking at him. "you're sick?"

"a slight fever but I'm fine now". "o. okay, I'll get going" "humm"

Taemin take a step towards the stairs and stop himself. "Hey, dad. Shouldn't my sis arrive now? You said that she'll arrive yesterday. Where is she?"

"Ah, that girl. I already invited her to come and she said that she's not ready to live with us. And, did you know? They got caught in an accident. Her mom died."

Taemin shock hearing the news. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? She must be alone now. Where is she? Where did she live?"

"Somewhere around here I think. She didn't tell me either. Maybe she still do the mourning right now. All I know is that she is living at her own house."

"Okay,, I'll be going." "okay.". After got his father's approval, Taemin climb up the stairs and goes to his room.

Woo's residents

Minhwa just got back from the mourning Hall. She unlocked the door and enter her house. She look really exhausted.

"I'm home!" say her quietly. She sigh. 'it not like someone will answer it anyway.'

Without her realise, her tears fall out one by one. "eh? Why did you come out? This is only the beginning. I can't be this weak! The harsh world is waiting for me out there. Why did you fall?!" shriek Minhwa. Her leg went weak. She cry more heavily.

"I'm sorry", Minhwa keep saying sorry until she sober. Her calm down and went to her room. She lie down and thought, 'tae tae...'

The next day..

Minhwa arrive early that day. She enter the classroom and saw Taemin put down his bag beside his desk. Seem like he just arrived as well.

Minhwa walk to her desk and put down her bag. She sit down and look beside her.

She greet him"um, hi. I'm Woo Minhwa. What's your name? "

Taemin answer her question without looking at her." Han Taemin ".

Taemin look at her behaviour. Seems normal. Did she really forget about the bump accident yesterday?

Taemin get up." hey. Can I say what's work now? "

Minhwa confuse." what? "

" You said that if 'sorry' doesn't work, I can tell you what's work other time. I think this is the most suitable time. "

"owh, you're that boy from yesterday. Sorry I didn't recognise you. Okay, can you tell me what do you want? Can I just treat you a meal?"

"yah, do I look like I can't afford my meal?"

Minhwa restrain herself from explode. "so, what do you want?"

Taemin smirk. Feels like he's just won. He move toward her and lift her chin. "how about a kiss?"

Minhwa really piss. Her face turn red from the anger. She brushed off Taemin's hand and stand up.

"I'm seriously sorry, but don't be too rude. If you do, even I'll be mad. What a shame, nice face, but your attitude sucks."

Minhwa walk away using the back door but then she stop and continues "and, please don't drop the honorific, we're not that close", say her sarcastically.

When she was about to open the door, it was open first from the outside. She almost bump into someone.

"opss, sorry. Didn't see you there." say Junki to Minhwa. "you're okay?"

"yeah, I'm fine thanks. Excuse me." ask Minhwa politely before she excuse herself.

Jungki get in the class and saw Taemin standing near Minhwa's desk. "hey, Taemin. What are you doing? Why didn't you seat?"

Taemin wake up from his pool of thoughts. He take a seat and just act like nothing happen. How dare she?

A few minutes later, Minhwa get in the classroom and see that most of the students arrive already. She saw that Taemin is staring at her but she just ignore him. He must be pissed.

'like I care', she turn her face toward the window. She sigh. It's only the second day she's in school but already have some problems. She doesn't want to make more problem, hers is plenty enough.

Right on the time, a fierce looking teacher come in. Everyone stay silent.

"you guys know that the exam is 2 more day to go right? You better get a good grade or else I'll prepare some punishment for those who fail. Get ready." warn teacher Soogeun.

He look at Minhwa and say"eh, I've never seen you before. "

" oh, I'm the new transfer student. I just got here yesterday." say Minhwa. "okay, but I won't go easy on you just because you're a new guy. Listen, focus on my class and don't fail my subject."

"yes, sir. I'll keep it in mind". "good, now let's start."

The lesson went smoothly. No one talk or sleep.

Break time..

Minhwa buy her lunch at the canteen. She look for a seat but all space are full except one table. She take a seat.

Then, she realise that most of the student stare at her. She look around until someone fill the front seat. It's the rude boy!

"go away, this is my seat." say him roughly. Minhwa look at him with disbelief.

"oh, sorry. I didn't know. I'll be going." say her without expression and stand up. But before she walk away, Jungki sit beside her and say, "it's okay, she didn't know. Just sit", say him to Minhwa.

Taemin stare at Jungki. Minhwa saw Taemin's sour look and say "no, it's fine. I'm full already." she give a smile and walk away.

'psycho'

Minhwa get in the classroom and put the bread that she just brought into her bag. Not long after that, about 3 to 5 girl get in the class. They approach her.

"Minhwa right? Why did you sit at the school hunk table just now?" ask the prettiest girl among them with a smile. The smile is pretty sweet but has a murderous aura on.

"um , yeah. I don't know that the place is theirs. I didn't go to the canteen yesterday because I was at the office, completing my files."

"owh , that's explain. By the way, I'm Han Chaeun, Han Taemin's cousin. Nice to meet you." the smile become sweet again. Minhwa know that this kind of girl could be a cause of trouble. It's terrifying.

Minhwa shake her hand and smile. "you're pretty."

"thanks!" say Chaeun and blush. She take her sit.

'I should bring lunchbox tomorrow.' thought Minhwa. She doesn't want this kind of trouble to happen again.
