Chapter 3 Trouble

Christine stood before Mrs Oh while panting.

"Come with me." Mrs Oh said, and started walking, with his following behind.

They walked past so many lecture rooms, until they got to the second to last room.

"Here. This is where you'll be receiving lectures... mind introducing yourself to them??" Mrs Oh asked as they stopped by the entrance of the room. She was making reference to the students in the room.

"No ma'am. I don't want to." Christine said, and Mrs Oh nodded.

"Alright. You should go in now. Lecture will start in fifteen minutes time... you might need some handouts, feel free to get them in the library." Mrs Oh said, and Christine nodded before walking in.

The moment he stepped in, all eyes fell on him. Girls drooling, boys murmuring.

👥 Who's he??

👥 New student I guess.

👥 He doesn't look like a Korean. Guess he's from another country.

👥 Woah! He's so handsome!

👥 I know right... look at his lips, it look so captivating!

...............

Christine stood at a spot as he scanned through the whole class.

He was definitely looking for a seat. Everywhere has been occupied. He heaved a sigh as he thought of what to do.

"Looking for where to sit??... Come here." A girl from the middle roll suddenly said, and he didn't hesitate before walking towards her.

"Jimin please, adjust a little bit." The girl said to the guy sitting next to her, and the guy did as she said. She also shifted a bit, and Christine was able to sit.

"Thank you." He muttered, and the girl smiled.

"You're welcome. I'm Seo-jin. You??" The girl asked, and Christine scoffed silently.

'This is why I don't want to make friends with females.' He said in mind.

He knew that girls will flirt with him if he make friends with them, and he doesn't want that.

His heart belongs to one girl.

"Hello??" Seo-jin called, and he faced her.

"It's Kang Christine." He said, and brought out his phone.

"Oh wow! You must be a half caste." Seo-jin said, but he pretended not to hear as he got busy with his phone.

"You're not the first person to say that." He muttered to himself.

"Did you say something??" Seo-jin asked, and he faked a smile, as he shook his head.

"No." He replied, and continued operating his phone. He doesn't want to sound rude and harsh.

Few hours later**

Christine was walking back to his room while listening to music from his headphone.

"KCee!" Someone suddenly called, and he smiled as he turned back to see Yeon walking towards him.

He knew already that it's him since he's the only one that calls him KCee instead of Kang Christine.

Yeon got to where he stood, and they both shook hands.

"Going inside??" Yeon asked, as they started walking.

"Yeah. I just want to drop these books." Christine replied, and Yeon looked at him.

"Are you going somewhere??" He asked, and Christine shrugged.

"Not really. I just want to have a look around." He replied, and Yeon nodded.

They got to their room, and Yeon opened the door. Christine dropped the books on the reading table beside his bed.

"Do you wanna come along??" He asked Yeon, who was standing by the door.

"Sure." Yeon replied, and Christine walked out of the room. Yeon locked the door, and they started walking.

"So... did you get what you went for??" Christine asked, as he dipped his hands in his pockets.

He loves doing that.

"Ani (No)." Yeon replied, and Christine looked at him.

"Wae?? (Why??)" He asked.

"The shop owner is not around." Yeon replied, and Christine nodded slowly.

Yeon sighted the 'S' stars coming, and he stopped walking. Christine also stopped as he wondered why he stopped.

"What's the matter with you??" Christine asked, but Yeon kept mute. He noticed that he's staring at something, and he traced his gaze, then he realized that he was staring at the 'S' stars. One of them precisely.

"Is she among those girls??" He asked, and Yeon nodded slowly.

Christine couldn't stop smiling, seeing the way his friend is behaving foolishly, all in the name of love.

"Should I call her for you??" He asked, and Yeon faced him immediately.

"Antoe! (No!)" He half-yelled, and Christine bursted out laughing.

"Why?? Don't you want to express your love for her??" Christine asked when his laughter subsided. He's still smiling tho.

"I do. But not yet." Yeon said, and Christine looked at the girls, who were almost getting to where they are.

"Hope you won't regret your decision?? They're almost here." He said.

"Don't worry. It'll be some other day. It's definitely not today." Yeon said back, and Christine shrugged.

The 'S' stars walked past them while chatting and laughing at intervals.

"Shall we go now??" Christine asked, and Yeon started walking ahead of him instead of replying. He chuckled, and walked hastily to catch up with him.

The 'S' stars were walking along the school field when one of the football players kicked the ball, and it went straight to Sophie's bütt.

The ball hit her so hard that she fell. This caused a stir between the students, as they started talking about it.

👥 He's so dead!

👥 I know Sophie has a soft heart, but not on this type of situation.

👥 She'll definitely give him the beating of his life.

👥 But who's that guy?? He looks like a new student.

👥 You're right. I've never seen him until now.

............

Samantha, Stella and Selena quickly bent over to Sophie's side to help her up.

"Are you okay??" Selena asked, as Sophie managed to get on her feet.

"You think I'm okay?? My bütt hurts." Sophie replied, as she caressed her bütt with her hands.

"Oh! That must have hit you so hard. Sorry." The guy that threw the ball said.

"Sorry??" The four girls chorused as they glared at him. They were all fuming with rage.
