the new girl

Author

"Hey look!" said a few girls, pointing to a boy and a girl who were holding hands in the school corridor.

Kim Taehyung and Choi Hyemin. The king and the queen of Mansae High School. Both of them were really rich and popular, just like what you typically find in TV dramas. Taehyung's dad was a successful businessman and Hyemin's dad owned the school. Because of their "fame" and wealth, sometimes they could be arrogant and looked down on other people who they didn't consider being in the same level as them. Others would find them mean and annoying, but these other students could be seen worshiping them, perhaps because they needed some asses to kiss in order to be successful in the future.

"Oppa, Hyemin wants to go first, okay? Hyemin has a morning class."

"Sure, good luck on your class. I'll see you later," Taehyung said before giving his girlfriend a kiss on the forehead.

"Yah, Kim Taehyung!" A guy yelled out Taehyung's name as he was entering his class.

"Yes, Jimin?"

Park Jimin was Taehyung's best friend ever since they were little. Jimin wasn't as rich as Taehyung, but his mother was really close to Taehyung's mother. Jimin, or he sometimes called himself Chim chim, was 2 months older than Taehyung, but Taehyung was definitely taller than him.

"Nothing. Oh, by the way," Jimin said with a bit of a smirk, "I heard that there will be a new student in this school, and it's a girl."

"Oh, really? Is she pretty?"

"Yah, Taehyung!" Jimin said, smacking his arm. "You already have a girlfriend."

Taehyung rolled his eyes playfully while chuckling. "I know, duh. I was just asking."

Suddenly everyone shushed each other as they heard footsteps on the corridor that was leading to their class. Not long after that, the door revealed a woman that all the students knew well. "Everyone, please take a seat!"

"Good morning, Mrs. Jung," everyone greeted while bowing.

All of them were ready to study when something caught their eyes immediately. An unfamiliar girl who was standing next to Mrs. Jung.

"Students, this is our new friend, Lee Jihae," Mrs. Jung said, patting the girl's back to give some sort of relaxation. "Jihae, please introduce yourself."

The long, straight-haired girl nodded, then bowed. "Hi, everyone! My name is Lee Jihae. Nice to meet you."

Without her knowing, there was a guy in the back of the class scanning her from head to toe. He thought, So, is that the new student that Jimin mentioned before? Hmm.. interesting.

"Hi, you're the new student, correct? Lee Jihae?"

"Yes, I am," Jihae said to the girl who suddenly approached her. "May I help you?"

The girl smiled and reached out her hand. "My name is Go Mina. I'm the president of the student body council, so basically I'm in charge of taking care of transfer students."

"Well, then. Nice to meet you, Mina," Jihae replied, accepting Mina's hand. "By the way, could you accompany me to walk around the school? I'm not really familiar with all the things in here."

"Sure, let's go."

Things were getting along with Jihae unlike what she previously expected. A few feet away from her was Taehyung who was hanging out with his good ol' girlfriend. It was a usual view for Mansae students to see the both of them spending recess together. Well, it was actually a blessing for some of them because if Taehyung and Hyemin hung out at the canteen, they would most likely to give them a living hell.

"Oppa, Jimin said that there was a new girl in your class. Is that right?"

"Yes, her name is Lee Jihae. That's her," Taehyung said while pointing to a girl who was walking beside Mina. "Isn't she pretty?"

Hyemin frowned when she heard that. "Wait, what?!"

"She's pretty, right?" Taehyung asked with a smirk on his face.

Hyemin clenched her jaws and smacked her boyfriend. "Yah, oppa!!"

Seeing her looking so angry, he chuckled. "I was just joking. Don't get it too serious," he said as he pinched Hyemin's cheeks.

"Ugh, whatever," she muttered she rolled her eyes and pouted. She actually became mad and was about to leave Taehyung alone on the bench.

"Yah, Choi Hyemin! Are you really mad? I'm sorry~"

Hyemin was still pouting, but she eventually gave in seeing him keep making cheesy aegyos. While they were playing and goofing around with each other, someone was standing a few meters behind them, feeling sad and hurt.
