"new things are not someting to be afraid of."

⚪️⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

The most awaited day of the year came by in a flash. It was finally Renjun's first day in NCU, as nervous as he was, he still maintained a positive mindset. Having to live in a dorm is required for students from far and wide, even to those whose homes are nearer than the rest. Having to meet new people as soon as he enters the school is something not to be exciting for him, but he hopes that he would be able to meet someone to befriend with.

His friends were also accepted into the university. When Renjun saw that they also sent in messages that said those, he decided to treat them dinner the following day of the said announcement. He said to them that whatever happens there should not be to cried over, everything  needs a positive vibe to keep its moment, happy. Being the oldest in the group, Mark agreed with Renjun, then the rest followed.

That night, it was filled with bright smiles and joyful tears - too excited for their first day to come by.

Now back to the present, Renjun was now clutching the handle of his luggage and one of the straps of his backpack. It was too good to be true, having to study in a big university, and being able to stick with his friends after such a long relationship.

After a second of taking in a deep breath, he walked inside the campus that was filled with students of different nationalities. He could hear different languages, varied from Korean to Chinese to Japanese, and many more to add in the list. The school had a diverse vibe to it that made Renjun feel a bit at ease.

"Oy! Huang Renjun!" a voice called out from a far. It was a familiar, soothing voice of a boy he knew - Lee Donghyuck. Due to the fact that it was Donghyuck who called out to him, he decided to keep walking and ignore him, to see his reaction of course.

The voice kept on bugging him, until Renjun finally broke down from his strong expression and looked at Donghyuck.

"Hello Hyuck," the Chinese said and turned around then proceeded forward without looking back. At this point, the other decided to just smile and look ahead to find other of their peers.

It was a few minutes before classes start and Renjun is already positioned on his desk. The room was not as quiet as he expected on  first day, the room was noisy. Chatter boxes found in every corner in a room, that could make you suffocate due to the noise they create. Though the room was filled with noise, Renjun was not bothered. He just sat there and read a book while he awaits for his teacher's arrival.

The bell finally rung signalling the beginning of class. Out of all his friends, only Mark and Jaemin were the ones who he became classmates with, though the other boys haven't noticed him yet. The door opened with a creak, telling them their professor has arrived. Everyone stood up to greet, but no one knew who he was called.

"Good morning, professor!" was all they could utter out. The man in front of the class, was a young, fine looking man, with a visual that could easily make girls fall down at their knees. The last phrase was literal, there was indeed a girl who fainted at the appearance of their professor. The said person then asked a random student to assist her to the infirmary. 

The professor went up to the board, and wrote down his name, Dong Sicheng.

"Okay, so good morning, I am Professor Dong, if ever weirded out, please just call me Sicheng or Winwin. Also, just saying professor is fine to maintain formalities." the man in front told the group of students, who listened to him intently.

Renjun was the opposite of his classmates. He was listening to his teacher, but he couldn't help but admire how he looked with the spectales he wore and his hair style looking much of a model's. It was a sight the young boy could watch all day, without being tired. He could say he would want to watch this face for a lifetime.

A coughing sound was the one that made Renjun come back to reality. There he saw at his right was Mark, and in front of him was Jaemin, who were pretty concern for his well being. They both asked the questions, "Hey, are you fine?" and "Do you feel sick?", and both of his answers was just a nod, indicating that he was completely fine. Jaemin and Mark got the signal and smiled at him before looking back again to their teacher.

Sicheng was already used to this commotion of teenage girls falling down whenever he passed by the hall. It was amusing, if he say so himself. He never received such reaction just by simply smiling and waving. It was his first year as an official teacher in NCU, and he was nervous. It was just his first year, and yet, he was already assigned to class with a bunch of newbies. At a young age, Sicheng was always nervous before doing things new to him. Even at an age of 21, he still feels the same everytime.

Sicheng knows by heart that he was too young to be a professor in such a school, but he was an alumni here, and other than that, he had a secret as to why he was able to be accepted to teach at such a young age. It wasn't that dark of a secret, but still, he prefers to not share it. Also another factor, his friends also decided to work here.

As time flies, Sicheng was now in front of the door of his classroom. His hands was trembling, but he was able to control it to the point his students would not be able to notice. He takes a deep breath and opened the door. As soon as he entered, all students stood up and greeted him. That was not the only thing he noticed though, he saw another girl faint as soon as he arrived and a cute buy in the midst of his tall classmates.

In his mind, Sicheng smiled and thoight fondly of the boy, but never mind that. He called out to a random student and asked him to assist the fallen girl to the infirmary. He went towards the board and wrote down his name. He gave his introduction, but he didn't fail to notice that one of his students were spacing out, so he signaled his seatmates to wake him up from his gaze.

"Since I have already introduced myself, and I know none of you, how about let's do one?"
