Episode: The South Korean and Nigerian Connection

Introduction of New Characters

In the bustling hallways of Benin City International School (BCIS), things were already heating up as Lila and her sisters adjusted to their new environment. The girls—Lila, Vanessa, Jasmine, and the rest—had already made a name for themselves, but today something unexpected happened.

As the bell rang, signaling the end of another class period, Lila noticed a new face walking down the corridor. This boy, about the same height as Vanessa, had an undeniable presence. He was a Year 12 student from South Korea, with striking good looks and an aura that instantly grabbed attention. His name was Joon Ho Park, but the students simply referred to him as "Joon" or "Ho."

Joon Ho’s Appearance

Joon Ho stood at about 5'8" tall, with an athletic yet lean build. His dark brown hair was styled with an effortless tousle, and his face had sharp features that made him resemble a younger version of Jungkook from the popular K-pop group BTS. His eyes were slightly almond-shaped, with an intensity that made him seem mysterious, yet approachable. His style was casual yet fashionable, wearing a fitted jacket, jeans, and sneakers that highlighted his effortless charm.

He had just moved to Nigeria with his family, and his parents had enrolled him in BCIS for his final year. His father, a successful businessman, had always wanted him to attend a prestigious school, and BCIS was the perfect choice. The girls couldn't help but notice him—especially Vanessa, who found herself inexplicably drawn to him.

Vanessa's Crush

As soon as Vanessa laid eyes on Joon Ho, she felt a flutter in her chest. The boy was so handsome, confident, and seemed to be surrounded by an air of mystery that intrigued her. Vanessa, usually confident and self-assured, found herself a bit shy around him, something that didn’t happen often. She whispered to Lila, "Do you see him? That’s Joon Ho... he's from South Korea. And... oh my gosh, he's so cute."

Lila smiled and nudged her sister. “I can tell, you’re blushing already.”

Vanessa rolled her eyes, but she couldn’t deny the feeling inside her. Joon Ho seemed like the type of person who could break hearts, and Vanessa wasn't sure if she was ready to let him do that to hers just yet.

Introducing Nigerian Classmate

Meanwhile, a new face appeared in Year 12, but this one was Nigerian—Emeka Okoro. Emeka stood tall at 6'1", with a strong athletic build and a charming smile. His skin was dark and smooth, and he carried himself with a confident swagger. He was from Lagos, known for being outspoken and having a magnetic personality. The moment he stepped into the assembly hall, he turned heads.

Emeka was known for being one of the most talented football players at BCIS, and during break time, he could often be found with his friends playing football in the school yard. He quickly became a popular figure, and some of the girls, including Vanessa, couldn’t help but admire his looks and athletic ability. However, it was clear Vanessa was more drawn to Joon Ho, even though Emeka was the type of guy you couldn’t ignore.

Basketball Game During Break

During break, the girls—Vanessa, Jasmine, and Lila—decided to hit the basketball court to unwind. It was a school tradition to engage in basketball matches during breaks, and the girls, eager to learn the game, decided to join in on the fun.

As they walked to the court, they saw the boys—Emeka, Chijioke, and a few others—already playing. The court was crowded, but it didn't matter. Lila had been practicing for a while, and now Jasmine and Vanessa were eager to learn.

The game was intense, with the girls trying their best to keep up. Lila dribbled the ball past Jasmine, laughing as she scored a quick layup. "I told you I had skills," Lila teased, grinning as Vanessa blocked her shot.

Emeka watched from the sidelines, enjoying the show. “You girls are better than I thought,” he laughed, giving them a thumbs-up.

Vanessa flushed with a little embarrassment but quickly regained her composure. She tossed her hair back, ready to show them what she could do. “Next time, I’m showing you all how it’s done,” she said, her competitive streak coming out.

The Shocking Reveal

As the bell rang for the end of break, the girls headed back to their classrooms, laughing and joking. But as they walked out of the school building, something surprising happened.

Joon Ho was waiting by the gate with his backpack slung over one shoulder. He looked up when he saw his father’s car approaching. The vehicle pulled up, and out stepped a man in an impeccable suit, exuding wealth and confidence.

The students who had been lingering around the school gates stopped and stared. The man wasn’t just any businessman—he was the former member of Big Bang, one of South Korea’s most famous K-pop groups.

Joon Ho’s father, G-Dragon, stepped forward. "Joon," he called out to his son, smiling widely. “Let’s go, son. It’s time to head home.”

The students were shocked. G-Dragon, one of the most influential figures in K-pop, was standing right in front of them. They had no idea that Joon Ho was the son of a legend.

Closing Thoughts and Break Time

As the girls and boys processed the surprising revelation, break time came to an end. Students were murmuring about the fact that they were now in the presence of a former K-pop idol.

Lila looked at Vanessa, who was still in a daze. "I told you he was mysterious," she said, laughing.

"I can't believe Joon Ho is the son of G-Dragon," Vanessa muttered, still trying to wrap her head around the idea. "No wonder he has that aura about him."

Meanwhile, Emeka, still keen on getting Vanessa’s attention, nudged his friends and said, “That Joon guy’s gonna be the center of attention now. Let’s see how long that lasts."

Football Sponsorship and Lila’s Father’s New Venture

As the day came to a close, Lila’s father, Maxwell Rivers, made a surprise announcement. He had just finalized a major deal with Nigerian Sports TV to sponsor an upcoming football match in Benin City. The match was going to be the highlight of the year, and it would draw crowds from all over the country.

The match was going to feature some of Nigeria’s top football players, and Lila's father’s company was backing the event in a big way. Rivers Enterprises had become a huge name in the country, and now the football match would be one of the biggest events of the year.
