Chapter 2 Seoul's boys high

❤️Lisa's p.o.v❤️

I dropped my phone on the table and took in deep breaths to relax my mind.

Seoul boy's high?

I thought to myself and chuckled nervously.

"Ahh jjinja Eeoteokke? (Seriously, what should I do?)".

Just a few nights ago, I was fired up as i thought about getting into the school.

Now, it doesn't make sense to me...I mean...I'm still a girl right?.

"This marks the end of your education!".

Dad's words kept ringing in my head.

He really wasn't gonna care about me anymore.

If I wanted to complete my schooling, I ought to sponsor myself then and I had no money and no means of making money.

I solely depended on Dad which I'm regretting at the moment.

Sigh! I ran my fingers through my messy hair and sank into my bed.

This could be my one chance of finishing high school and going into the military school.

It's my dream to become a military officer. That way, I'll use my skills to protect our country.

There was a knock on my door and Sonia eeonnie came in.

"Eeonnie, Annyeonghaseyo". I murmured with a slight bow.

She folded her arms, staring back at me without responding to my greetings and she didn't look happy.

Ohh! I forgot she was still mad at me.

"What's the noise for? You woke me up with your loud mouth". She said.

"Mian hamnida (I apologize)". I murmured again and she seemed to notice my moodiness.

"Are you alright?". She asked, switching moods instantly.

I nodded my head slowly.

"No, you're not. Tell me, what's the problem?". She walked closer to me and sat on the bed, next to me.

I chuckled as she easily caught me...

She was like a lie detector.

"Unnie..." I began, but paused and she was waiting..

"What is it Lisa?"

"I..."

I didn't know how to tell her so I just took my phone, scrolled to the message from Seoul's boys high and gave her to read.

"Kang Luca? Nukayo? (Who?)".

She had her eyebrows furrowed as she had no idea who Kang Luca is.

"Who else?". I asked, faking a smile and she quickly grasped it.

"Oh my God! It's you? You are Kang Luca! Which means the school gave you a scholarship?". She said surprised.

I nodded my head..

"This is huge Lisa! I mean...how?".

"I faked my identity and changed my name to a guy's". I replied.

"What were you thinking? It's an all boys school and...and you're a girl...hello? How do you plan to cope?".

"I don't know". I sighed.

"But...it's my only chance of finishing high school you know.."

"I don't think dad was being serious when he said he wasn't going to continue sponsoring your education". She said.

"You weren't the one being told unnie, he really doesn't care anymore....I could tell. Besides I deserve it coz I've been a bad daughter". I said, lowering my head.

"C'mon Lisa, he wouldn't be that cruel to you... moreover, if he doesn't support you, I will".

I turned to face her and she had a smile on her face.

"I'll take on multiple jobs and support your education...besides it's my duty as your second mom after Mom".

"Unnie!". My voice almost broke as I felt tears welling up in my eyes.

I wrapped my arms around her and sniffed in, to fight back my tears.

"Gomawo...(thank you)".

"But, you don't need to worry, i really appreciate your care. I won't miss this opportunity given to me, and I don't want you to go through hell because of me...".

"Dad won't accept it yunno? You'll be going against the school rules and that alone calls for a penalty and bad name". She said, patting my back.

"Ara (I know)". I replied.

"He doesn't have to know that I'm going to school".

"What's your plan?".

"I'll just tell him I'm going to work at another city...he's so bent on me working so it won't be difficult to convince him". I said.

"You're starting a trouble that you won't be able to end". She said, still patting my back.

"Ara". I murmured.

"You're so stubborn Lisa". She said and I noticed she had teared up.

I detached from her embrace and wiped the tears rushing down her face with the back of my hand.

"Ara". I said again.

"When will you go to Seoul?". She asked.

"Tomorrow morning".

✨ THE NEXT DAY ✨

🗣️🗣️: "Passengers, we'll be arriving at Seoul in the next five minutes, sit up, get ready, we're approaching the next bus stop".

The voice from the radio announced and the passengers in the bus began to get their luggage ready for getting off the bus.

I rubbed the sleep off my eyes as I sat upright and looked out the window.

This is Seoul!

I thought out loud in excitement.

Finally!

The bus came to a stop and passengers began to exit.

I took my suitcase and rolled it out of the bus, then inhaled the cool air.

It was drizzling and people were trying to get to shelter.

I waited under the rain for a taxi but none was coming forth.

"This is frustrating". I said to myself and looked around for any sign of a cab.

I sighed when I couldn't find one and bit on my lip.

"Where are you off to handsome?". I heard someone say behind me but didn't bother to look.

"Excuse me Mr....can you point me the direction of the train station? I'm lost".

I didn't know I was the one being spoken to until I felt a tug on my sleeve.

I turned around to face a young lady who had a smile on her face.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you Oppa! But I'm really lost". She said, giving me the puppy dog eyes and a pout.

She was adorable but I was still in shock as I heard her call me 'Oppa'.

This is new!

I thought to myself...

Well, clearly I was dressed as a boy and I had a short wig cap on.

I had to respond quickly to the girl..

"Um...I'm sorry".

I stopped quickly and cleared my throat.

I sounded feminine and it was awkward.

"I'm also new here but I think the train station is that way". I said, sounding more masculine this time around.

I pointed to the direction of a sign board that read 'Train station, left'.

"Ah! Kamsahamida..." She bowed and smiled as she hopped away while waving at me with a blush.

I rolled my eyes...

"Girls!".

I was still in my thoughts about the girl calling me 'oppa' when I suddenly felt water splashed all over me.

I came back to my senses and looked down at my clothes and suitcase.

My suitcase was dripping wet and I was partially drenched.

There was a puddle of water right in front of me and the car that passed, splashed it all over me.

"Arrrghhh!!!". I growled, clenching my fist.

"What's wrong with you?!". I yelled as the car screeched to a stop and the passenger door opened.

A young lady came down and was approaching me

All my anger melted away as soon as I saw her.

To me, Sonia unnie was the prettiest girl....but this one's just breath taking.

She shone brightly and her beauty was just so tempting.

"I'm really sorry, please pardon me...my driver wasn't looking, we were discussing and he was completely immersed in the conversation, are you alright? Oh my goodness, no you're not...you're drenched".

Even her English accent was captivating.

I was too stunned to reply her as my mouth was opened but nothing came out.

"Please forgive me". She said again and I saw her driver rush out of the car with an umbrella.

"You're getting yourself wet milady". He said, rushing to her side to shield her from the rain.

I still couldn't find the right words to say.

"Are you okay? Darling". She asked again with a look of worry.

My heart fluttered.

Even I as a girl was nervous just by standing so close to an angel like her...I wondered how guys reacted.

"Ne, Kwaenchana unnie (Yes, I'm fine sis". I replied and she stared back confused and amused.

The driver also gave me a weird look...then I realized what I had said.

"Ah! Noona! Noona! Mian hamnida". I corrected myself and apologized immediately even if it wasn't necessary.

Girls call their older sister 'unnie'

While boys call their older sister 'noona'.

"It's fine". She said and smiled at me.

"Where are you headed though?".

"Seoul's boys high". I replied.

"What a coincidence, that's where I'm heading to". She said.

My face was lit up.

"A coincidence indeed". I muttered.

"My brother also schools there, and I need to visit him, you should know him, his name is...."

"I'm a new student...I just resumed today.. I'm not sure I know him". I interrupted her, touching the nape of my neck nervously.

"Oh! I see, a new student...um, how about I drop you off?".

"Thanks...but that'll be too much of your kindness...I'm fine". I said.

"No, I insist, and you can't go in looking like that...let's get you some dry and comfortable clothes.. my house is just around the corner".

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

My jaw dropped as soon as I got down from the BMW.

I stared back at the mansion in front of me in awe.

'They must be filthy rich'

I thought to myself...

"Come with me please". The beautiful lady said as she led me into the house.

I hesitated to sit on the sofa, scanning the room with my eyes.

I had never been to a place so sparkly and neat before...

I felt like the trash in a room so tidy.

"You must be cold, having to stand under the rain. I prepared a hot bath, you should go freshen up". The lady said, collecting my suitcase from me.

"Ani! I shouldn't bother you, don't worry about me, I'll just change up and leave". I replied, feeling quite uncomfortable.

"I understand that you aren't comfortable and yeah who would follow a stranger home right? No need to worry, I mean no harm". She gave me a heart warming smile.

"I really feel bad about messing you up with the water and all...it's the least I can do".

I smiled awkwardly in return and made up my mind to have a hot bath.

It wouldn't hurt...will it?

"I kept some warm clothes on the bed for you". She called out when I entered the bathroom.

I had a quick wash up and got back into the room to dress up.

I picked up the black hoodie I saw on the bed and a pair of ragged jeans.

A smile crept to my lips.

"Definitely my style". I said and whistled in excitement.

The clothes had a very nice fragrance and it really gave out a high schooler vibe.

"Looks like her brother and I share the same taste of clothes". I said to myself again.

When I finished dressing up, I got out to the sitting room to meet her.

"They fit just like my brother". She smiled at me for the nth time and we all left for the school finally.

After thanking the kind-hearted lady repeatedly, I pulled my suitcase and was about to head for the Vice principal's office.

"You're always welcome to my home okay? Feel free to stop by anytime".

Her words made me stop and I turned to face her again.

"Kamsahamida....Noo..Noona". I stuttered.

"I'm Angel Kim". She said.

Her name is also beautiful...and perfect for her.

"What about you?". She asked.

"I'm Lis...ahhh! Luca! I'm Kang Luca!". I was quick to correct myself.

"Alright Luca, see you some other time". She waved.

"Annyeong". I waved back and quickly turned away.

Seoul's boys high...

School is really huge and mind-blowing...

How do I find the Vice principal's office?

I saw a group of students ahead and I sighed in relief.

I rushed to meet them..

"Hi, can you please direct me to the vice principal's office?". I asked.

There was a moment of silence as all four of them took turns in sizing me up with their eyes.

"Newbie huh? Ohhhh let me guess, one of the scholarship students we were informed about". One of them asked and I nodded my head oblivious to his scorn.

"Just go towards that building and then turn to the left, there's a passage around there, follow the passage and then turn right and take the stairs, keep going..."

Finally...

I sighed..

The students seem nice.

I thought to myself as he kept on directing me...I became a bit confused.

How many lefts and rights and passages am i going to follow?

"After the final left route...you keep going and going until you go to hell". He concluded and his companions laughed.

I finally got the whole joke.

They're a bunch of assholes.

"What's your name huh?". He asked..

"Go ask me in hell". I replied and pulled my suitcase away from them... going to another direction.

Their total silence at my reply made a smirk appear on my face.

They must've been stunned.

After walking aimlessly around the school for about 30 minutes, I found the office I was looking for and went for my registration.

I headed for the locker room afterwards and cleaned up the locker assigned to me.

"This is it". I murmured.

"The begining of a fake life". I sighed deeply as I shut the locker.

I need to find my dorm.

"Hey you". A hand suddenly grasped my wrist and I turned around quickly, grabbing the person by the collar and judo flipped him at the spot.

He landed on his back and groaned in pain.

My eyes were wide open as soon as I realized what I did.

There on the floor laid a very hot dude...

Eye catching if you know what I mean..

"I'm sorry". I apologized quickly and stretched out my hand to support him to his feet.

He took my hand as though trying to get back on his feet but made me trip instead and I also landed on the floor, while he stood up.

"Ouch". I cried out.

He had a look of satisfaction on his face.

"You made me fall first". He said.

"It was a reflex action...I apologized". I murmured, still massaging my waist.

"You're one of the new students right?". He asked.

I ignored him.

"I'm Lucien". He said, stretching out his hand towards me to help me up.

I slapped it off.

"I don't need your help".
