Jamie is going to give me a piece of her mind today. I mean, not literally, but she will definitely unleash her fury upon me, and who can blame her? I am a whopping 15 minutes late!! Jamie happens to be my closest companion, and she always waits for me at the entrance of our school so that we can walk to class together. Lately, I've been consistently tardy, despite her warning me yesterday to be punctual today. And now, here I stand, already 15 minutes behind schedule!

"안녕하세요 Jamie! I apologize for being late." I said it with a cute puppy face. ( Hello Jamie)

"Apologise? You are 10 minutes late" Jamie exclaimed.

"미안해, please forgive me " I pleaded. (Sorry,)

"Okay," she said being completely annoyed.

For a brief moment, there was a lapse in our conversation. The air grew heavy with silence, enveloping the atmosphere. It was evident that someone among us yearned to shatter this stillness.

"가자" I said trying to break the silence. (Let's go!)

I moved further through the corridors and she followed me.

As we moved we heard a crowd screaming "Jesper! Jesper!"

"Here goes another dwaeji."  Jamie mumbled, yet was audible. (Pig)

We followed the voice and reached the lunch canteen of the school.

"God! Jesper, stop!" I screamed! (Stop)

I let out a piercing scream, causing everyone to fall silent. The enthusiastic cheers for Jesper abruptly ceased as well. Jesper's attention shifted towards me and Jamie, but it was me his eyes was fixated on. We stood there in silence, a brief moment frozen in time.

Later, Jamie spoke "Jesper why  are you bullying her? C'mon leave her."

Jesper was indeed bullying a young girl. She appeared to be around 17 years old, the same age as us. However, we had never seen her before, indicating that she was new to the area. She had a Japanese appearance, with disheveled hair and glasses that had fallen aside.

"Mind your words sis, she is new and she should know who I am, who we are." Jesper said calmly.

"Are you okay? Wait, are you crazy?" Jamie asked doubtfully.

I could tell something was off, and I didn't want to just stand there and watch him bully her. So, I decided to speak up.

And, I spoke "Jesper, this is not how it goes. Are you leaving her?" I tried explaining

Jesper was one of the popular guys at our school. He’s not a troublemaker; he just hasn’t had the best guidance in his life. There’s a clear distinction between the two.

"What? Why should I leave her?"

I calmed down and said "Please leave her Jesper."

This is the first time I used the word 'please.' in front of Jesper.

by Jesper's behavior today. It wasn't exactly impressive. All the girls who were cheering for Jesper are clearly swooning over him. I mean, who wouldn't? Jesper, the son of one of the world's greatest businessmen, with his blue eyes and muscular build, people call him "perfect." But not me. For me, looks aren't everything; personality matters too.

Jesper nodded in agreement and spoke. "You have never been so polite to me, why are you standing for her? She is nothing to you."

He was right, she is nothing to me but, I can't just stand and see the girl being bullied. I am not one of those girls, who just stand and support the wrong.

"Jesper?" I looked at him once again.

He took a deep breath in and said "Fine, If you say so Ms.Moon."

I was really glad when he agreed, but deep down, I still believed that he owed that girl an apology for publicly insulting her in front of everyone at school. So, with a bit of confidence, I asked him 

"Are you going to say 'sorry', Jesper?"

"No." Jesper said being shocked.

I repeated myself, thinking he would agree to me "I think you should say sorry."

"아니요" he said in an offensive way. I had no plans to keep on begging him to say sorry so, I decided to take my leave. (No)

I was furious, it felt like I was the one being humiliated in front of the entire school, but I didn't let it bother me too much since this wasn't the first time it had happened.

I still don't understand that why am I even friends with Jesper? That's right. I am friends with him, I mean, he is my bestfriend Jamie's blood-related-annoying-brother. So, I am somehow friends with him. Also, he never has been extremely rude to me infact, better.

"Hey?" Jamie spoke, flinching me out of my thoughts.

After coming back to my senses, I turned to see Jamie's face.

"What?" I replied pretending to know nothing.

To be honest, I don't dislike Jesper at all. He's been a great help to me and has shown kindness on multiple occasions. Also, he's always been there to binge-watch movies with me whenever Jamie was tied up with work. I just wasn't HAPPY with his behaviour today.

"What's up with your head?, All good?" Jamie asked casually.

It is quite fine, maybe not.

"Nothing." I said in a low tone.

"Oh? Okay." she said calmly.

Before she would ask me anything else, I reminded her that it's the time for our class.
So, we hurried and went inside the class.

The English professor arrived and started saying "Good morning." he said and we all wish him the same.

I couldn't help but ponder about the upcoming semester and what kind of professor "Park Ji-ho" would turn out to be. Lost in my thoughts, I was abruptly jolted back to reality when someone unexpectedly shouted my name.

"MOON YE-HA, can you please stop daydreaming and focus in class?" He yelled at me.

"죄송합니다" I said in a low tone being embarassed as the whole class was staring at me. (Sorry)

"괜찮아요" professor said in a calming voice and then continued. (It's okay)

"As it is widely acknowledged, the commencement of the new semester has taken place. This academic year, the school administration has implemented stringent regulations and will be placing significant emphasis on the 11th grade, which essentially constitutes your class."

A boy named 'Nam Seon Ho' questioned the professor and asked "why our grade, what's wrong with it?"

Believe me, we were all taken aback when he uttered those words. It's not often that he opens up to anyone other than his close friends, so you can imagine the surprise on our faces.

"Because, last year grade 10 scored really less marks and we don't want that to happen again" The professor replied.

"알았어 professor," Seon Ho said in a cold voice that definitely gave me shivers for no reason. (Okay professor)

"Okay, everyone pay attention, I am not done talking yet".

All the students nodded in agreement, but I was the only one who mustered the words "Yes, professor." It irked me that today wasn't unfolding as smoothly as it should have.

Professor started giving his instructions again " I hope all of you have read the new school rules, if not then please do. Also, you guys have new classmates so, welcome them happily and be friendly towards them. Okay?"

This time everyone said "yes sir" and I said "예". By the time I was already so pissed off until my bestfriend Kim Jamie asked me to go with her to meet our new classmates.

I agreed and followed her and guess what?, The girl I helped this morning is our new classmate. We went to her and asked her

"how are you feeling now?" And then she replied "Good, thank you.

I caught a clear glimpse of her for the very first time. She possessed a captivating beauty. Her lengthy, dark brown locks cascaded down, while her slender and statuesque figure commanded attention. She exuded an air of elegance that was simply enchanting.

"No problem" Jamie replied in a charming manner trying to be friends with her.

"What's your name?" I asked casually and then she immediately replied as if she was eager to introduce herself to us "Fumika hayashi, I am a Japanese."

I guessed it right on the very first glance, she is Japanese. Japan, a place where I want to visit once!

"Oh! I once want to visit Japan, you could say it's one of my dreams.

"I can take you, If you want."
Jamie was rich and she loved bragging about it.

"I want to go there independently." I said while rejecting her offer.

"Anyways I am Moon Ye-Ha and she is Kim Jamie" I introduced.

"Nice to meet you." she replied.
