It was during our secondary school era that it all happened.

I lived in Busan since I could remember and it wasn't until the age of 15 that my life was as exciting as I hoped it would be.

All my life had been planned ahead by my parents; my future career, my behaviour in public, our family image and so on.

My parents work as businessmen so they always travel from country to country, most of the time leaving my siblings and I alone in te country.

However, I resented my life in here. Everyday was dull here and I hated how I'd be spending my damn life here.

Living in a rich neighbourhood wasn't as glamorous as everyone thought it'd be. Our vicinity was fucked from left to right, up and down... from everywhere.

My school was mixed so of course, drama was full on in my school. As they say, every class had their couples, the prankster, the harworker but most evidently the bullies. And my class had the most bullies.

My brother once told me not to mingle with these people and so did I. But then, I realized that our school ran like the old stereotype system... eveyone is afraid to be victimised by these shitty head so by fear, people either behave accordingly to their wish or change school.

Some people changed school due to this intolerable life style. And I was with my close friends, suffering the shit out of our lives, hoping for better fucking  days to come.

But then, one day our lives took a turn, a different unique turn.

It was during my chemistry class that the Principal, interrupted our class. He was accompanied by a new face who was timidpy looking around. His black hair was neatly combed and his uniform seemed to fit him just perfectly. His rounded glass made his mocha coloured eyes to stand out the most.

Normally I wasn't the type to check boys out at the school but boii, wasn't he fine as fuck

" students, today we have a new student who got admitted here. As from now, he'll be studying in this class so befriend him and make him feel welcomed "

With that said, the Principal nodded at the teacher and left.

" alright would you please introduce yourself young boy and then you can join your friends for the class "

The teacher said politely, with a smile.

The newbie nodded nervously and stepped forward. However, he stayed silent.

His eyes analysed us one by one, somehow making me feel self conscious, arriving at my turn.

Quietly, he glanced behind him and took notice of a marker. Then, he began writing on the whiteboard beside the writings of the teacher, widely.

' My name is Park Jimin. I am mute and partly deaf. I use a note pad to communicate. Hopefully we will all get along :) '

Everyone was agasped but still cheered for him.

Surprisingly, the boys at the back bench cheered up for him more, clapping louder than others.

Jimin had a genuine smile plastered on his face, a smile worth so expensive that I got lost for a moment.

So lost to hear the teacher asking him to sit beside me.

Everyone's gaze was on his every movement as he made his way to the table behind me.

" Erza, Haru and Taehyung, I expect you guys to help Jimin catch up and show him around "

Taehyung was already smiling widely at Jimin, making the latter feel at ease already. Haru and I, being seat mates both nodded at the teaxher before directly our attention to the new boy, while th teacher continued his lecture behind.

" My name is Kim Taehyung but my friends call me Tae so you can call- write to me as Tae." Tae said in a low voice.

Jimin noddee with a small smile, removing his copybooks simultaneously.

" My name's Lee Haru and i must say, you look really cute with those spectacles. So cute that Erza was literally in awe " that crazy girl said, pointing to me with a smile.

I slapped her shoulders in embarrassment, enough to cause to whine at me. Jimin's face was slightly pink as he looked at me. While Tae, being Tae ended up choking from laughing too much.

- " ah seriously Haru, excuse her Jimin she talks nonsense 24/7, though I'm not saying you're not cute in your spectacles like I mean...urg you know hehe"

I said in total embarrassment.

" but yeah my name's Erza and hopefully we'll be good friends"

To which Jimin nodded smilingly before we all followed the lecture. From time to time, we would check up on him and show him certain things.

Though we all know on that table, including Jimin that I would steal glances at him the most, enjoying the fact that my heart pounded at the mere gaze of his.

That day, my monochrome life finally gained some colours.

Fun Fact: On his first day at my school, Aiden was so good at Physics and Maths that at one point, he was asked to go on the whiteboard to showcase the answer everytime...and yeah basically that's when I slowly began to like him 🤭
