School Romance || ProduceX101
New Year, New Start


My name is Y/N. I'm starting a new year at my high school today. I'm 17, in grade 3.

I walk through the flowers path that lead to school. I can't wait to know what's install for this year.

I enter the school gate, when suddenly--


Yohan
Boo!

Someone jump out of nowhere and give me a fright.


You
Oh My g0d!


Yohan
Good Morning~ ! Haha! Did I scared you?


You
Yes! Why are you always doing this in the morning?!


Yohan
Because you are always half-asleep...


Yohan
I must give you some of my long lasting energy!

We laugh as we make our way to the classroom.


Jihoon
Hi Y/N! Hi Yohan!


You
Woah. Why are you so happy today?


Jihoon
It's a new year! Of course I'm happy! I miss school...


Yohan
Or you miss me!


Jihoon
How do you know?

The both of them laugh. They really like to teased each other...

Yohan is my childhood friend who I met since kindergarten.

We started off on a wrong foot because he stole my favorite toy car but quickly make up for it because our parents tell us to...

We spent almost everyday together after that, playing at the playground, creating trouble and went to school together.

Even in middle school, we are classmates and now it leads to high school... He is a funny and athletic guy

Who can make friends quickly and enjoy fitness class the most. He is good at making people laugh and taekwondo, that's what make him unique-


Yohan
Hey! Y/N! Are you listening?


You
H-huh?


Yohan
What do you thinking?


You
Think about what?


Yohan
You aren't listening to me? Are you daydreaming again?


You
O-oh... sorry, can you say it again?


Yohan
Okay, so I'm saying, today is the first day of school this year right?


You
Yeah...?


Yohan
How about we pull a prank on the teacher?


You
I don't think it's a good idea... we will get into trouble for this...


Yohan
Scaredy Cat... Fine! I'll go it alone!

Oh no... Yohan look angry...


Mingyu
Y-yohan... What are you are doing?

I turn around and see our class chairperson, Kim Mingyu, staring curiously at Yohan.


Yohan
One...


Yohan
Do you want to help me pull a prank on the teacher with me?


Mingyu
O-oh... I already know... I overheard y-you... trying to prank Mr Lee... And I agree with Y/N that it's not a good idea...

I nod and smile at Mingyu. He is the smartest guy in our class, or should I say the entire school. He is also one of the most handsome guys

in our school but is kind of shy and usually a little awkward around other people.

Other than that, he is also hardworking and kind, he helps me with my homework alot... we aren't really friends but--...


Yohan
Pffff... You guys are no fun!

He sit down beside me and pout his lips, arm cross.


Mingyu
S-sorry... but today a new student will be joining our class and we should be on our best behavior...


Yohan
Whatever... why should we even be bother by the transfer student?


Jihoon
Ohhhhhh~ Is it a pretty girl? Yeppo~


Mingyu
I heard it's a guy...


Teacher
Good Morning~

GOOD MORNING TEACHER!


Teacher
Okay Class~ settle down.


Teacher
I'm going to introduce you to someone who have transferred from our rival school to our school~


Teacher
Please baksu for this guy!


Yohan
Is it really nessasarry to say he is from Topmedia High? Savage.


Jihoon
I wonder who could that be? I have some friends from that school... hey, Yohan and Mingyu! It looks like you'll have some competition with


Jihoon
this guy. Topmedia High only accept students that is good in studies or sports. Why would he want to transfer to this school anyway?


Mingyu
Shhhh... he is walking in...

We look at the door as a bright figure walk in.


Wooseok
I'm Kim Wooseok.


Teacher
...


Teacher
Anything else Wooseok? Other intro?


Wooseok
No.


Teacher
Okay. You can go and sit behind that girl.


You
Mr Lee, my name is Y/N.


Teacher
Okay, go sit beside Y/N.

Wooseok walk past me and I could hear the chair behind move.


Teacher
Okay Class~ since today is the first day of school, who want to share your December holidays?


Jihoon
Me!


Jihoon
So I went on a world tour with my group Wanna One--


Yohan
Hey. What do you think of the new boy?


You
What?


Yohan
He looks arrogant and cold.


You
Maybe... I don't know. You don't even know him.


Yohan
Yeah. Want to talk to him?


You
About what?


Yohan
Idk. Try to make friends with him? Find out what he is good in to be accepted to Topmedia High...


You
Hm... maybe during lunch break.

We turn our attention back to Jihoon who went on talking about his trip to America.

After Class. During Break.


Yohan
So... Seen the new guy anywhere?


You
Yohan! Just eat your food! Why are you so eager to know him?


Yohan
Because I'm curious! Why did he move from such an elite school to our school which is so normal but cool.


You
Just like you said, we cool.


Yohan
Haha. Very funny.


Jihoon
Hey! Can I join you guys?


Yohan
Sure. After that, you can help me find Mr Mysterious for me.


Jihoon
???


You
Oh. Don't mind him. He is just-- obsesse with the new student. He wants to ask him something.


Jihoon
Oh, I just saw him at the Soccer field just now.


Yohan
Really? Is he good at soccer?


Jihoon
Maybe? Idk, I've only saw it for a while. But seeing how he played for a while... yes.


Yohan
I need to see this for myself! Y/N, you coming?


You
Nah. I don't like the field. It's too hot out there. I'll just chill in the library.


Yohan
Okay! See you later!

Yohan drag Jihoon with him...

I quickly finish my meal and went to the library.

I wonder around the library for a bit, getting the books that interested me and started looking for a place to read.

Just then, I spot Mingyu sitting alone at one of the tables concentrating with a book in his hand.


You
Hi, Mingyu.

He look up from his book.


Mingyu
Oh Hi, Y/N. Do you need a space to sit? You can sit here.


You
Thanks.

I smile and sit down beside him, putting my books down quietly.


You
Have you eaten lunch yet? Haven't seen you in the cafeteria.


Mingyu
I-i don't eat lunch... Every lunch break, I'll spend my time here in the library.


You
Skipping lunch is unhealthy, next time, join us. You can always sit with us in the cafeteria if you want.


Mingyu
Thanks for the offer. Maybe next time.

We stare at each other awkwardly for a moment before his stomach started to grumble.


You
Here, take this. I brought an extra bread from the cafeteria in case I'm hungry later but now you can have it.

He look at me and smile. He's so handsome...


Mingyu
Thank you Y/N.


You
Uh... You're Welcome!

I blush and stand up, grab my books and ran away.

I ran to another spot of the library.

He's so handsome suddenly! I mean-- I've always known that he is handsome but-- this time... it's different.

I shake my head and go to check out my books. I'll read it later.


Yohan
Hey Y/N! Welcome back!


You
So, what go on between you and Wooseok?


Yohan
Too bad you aren't there... I'm not telling.


You
Spill!


Yohan
No.


You
Just say it already!


Yohan
Okay... Sooooo... I play a match with him.


You
You play a soccer match with him?


Yohan
No. A basketball match.


Yohan
I won!


Jihoon
Actually, it's consider a tie because the bell rang and the match already stop--


Yohan
But I shoot the ball into the hop!


You
Okay, okay. You won.


Yohan
I'm the best!


Teacher
Yohan, why are you yelling?


Yohan
Haha. Sorry Mr Lee.

Just then, Wooseok walk in.


Teacher
Wooseok, you're late.


Wooseok
Sorry...


Teacher
Since it's the first day, I'll forgive you.


Yohan
Wow... badass.


You
I thought you guys come back together?


Yohan
He say he have something to do and ran off before I could tell him that our lunch break is almost up.


Jihoon
Weird don't you think?


Yohan
Something is definitely going on...


You
What's going on is that you two better pay attention to class before Mr Lee finds you two talking and sing Shoot Out.


Yohan
Or... just tell us to get out of the classroom?


You
Yup that too.

School ended at sunset as me and Yohan walk home together.


Yohan
I can't wait to go home and rest!


You
Haha~ I can see the tiredness on your face in class!


Yohan
Mr Lee classes are so boring.


You
Nah. Excuse his charisma.

We both laugh and talk about the upcoming events for school.

We kept talking until we reach my apartment complex.


You
See you in school tomorrow!


Yohan
Hey! Why didn't you wait for me today?

Yohan wasn't only my childhood friend but also he live some block away from my place.


You
I thought you would go without me since that we are now older and--


Yohan
What are you talking about?!

I stare at him shockingly. Is he mad? Why is he so sensitive about this?


Yohan
I-I'm going to stick to you forever!


Yohan
Promise that we will go to the same college together too okay?


You
Uh...Okay...

He pat my head and smile. I've never seen him so serious before...


Yohan
See you tomorrow.

He said softly and walk away.

Tonight, I saw a different kind of Yohan. The serious him. And the promise I just make...

Can I keep it?
