For a whole month, I spent the holidays alone at home. As usual, my parents were busy with work and Yongju was also busy with his new album promotion schedule. Actually if I want, I can go on vacation anywhere, but if I have to go alone, I better spend my time in the room, pampering miaw. For the sake of miaw, my beloved cat, during the holidays, I was busy remodeling the empty room next to my bedroom for me to make a private room miaw. Starting from arranging his room and equipping it with all the supporting equipment that makes the room into a cat paradise, I did it myself.
And come today, the first day of school. I looked at the school uniform I was wearing. White shirt, black tie, black alma mater suit and black skirt above knee. "Aarray! Why is the school skirt always this short!" my grunt in front of the mirror looked at my slightly exposed smooth white thigh. I want to replace it with long pants. I got even more upset when I looked at balen****black hoodie and my beloved black stamp baseball hanging from my closet, like I was waving at me. My face turned sullen looking at him. I couldn't wear it on the first day of school because as a new student, I had to wear a full uniform. With annoyance, I continued my activities by wearing long black socks below the knees that I combined with black shoes as well.
"Ck, shitty!" I muttered as I took my alma mater's suit back and folded it up just like that, then stuffed it into my school bag. In the end, I replaced it with my hoodie. Then, I continued by putting on my shoes and baseball cap. Back to my tomboy style as usual. Lastly, I put the backpack on my back. The only thing I wear with a full brand logo, whereas all this time, I always choose items with the smallest brand logo, even if possible without a brand. But since I knew the logo with the prefix letter B, I immediately fell in love because the style was in accordance with my tomboy style. Like now, from head to toe, I'm like an ambassador for this brand. "Stupid school rules! I just take it off and replace it with an alma mater coat when the ceremony starts," I said in my heart as I walked my feet out of my room. No powder, not even lipbalm, let alone make up. As usual, I came to school with my innocent face that I always hid under my hat or hoodie.

The car that drove me to school finally stopped. Not in front of the school, but as is my custom every time I go to school, I would ask my driver to drop me off on a quiet street not far from the school gate because I didn't like school friends knowing my identity as the daughter of the Lee family. Arrogant, not wanting to be friends with people who are not as level as him, afraid of being used by friends who are poorer than me or who are matre, such is the assessment of other students after knowing my identity and my introverted nature, but I never cared what people said.
For a moment I looked at my new school, before I got out of the car sighing, "OK, now is the time to step forward! Ready, set and start!" I said in my heart, encouraging myself just before I set foot in my new school. The most elite English-style school that only contains children capable families, ranging from rich, rich, rich to the class of hereditary conglomerates are here and today I began to be part of this school because of the compulsion of my eomma. "From going to school looking at social strata like this, I prefer to go to a regular school closest to home. At least, it didn't take me long to get back to my room!" grumbling in the heart.
As I was walking towards the school gate, a fancy car had just pulled up behind my car, but I didn't care about it, even when someone got out of the car. "Wait first! Why is he also down behind the school?" I asked in my heart as I glanced back at the student walking behind me. Curiosity made me pay attention to him. Taking a glimpse of his uniform and of his height, "it looks like this school student as well. Maybe a big class," I thought.
I continued my steps to enter the school gate as usual with no desire to say hello or just smile at anyone. "Who is he?" the whispers of some students were still heard in my ears as I passed by them. "Looks like a new kid" whispered another student who was watching me. Of course I look most striking among those who look like princess and prince charming in this school, especially I prefer to walk alone and absorbed in my own world.
Although there is a saying that says, "Sweet love started in school", but it seems like the saying never applies to me. For 16 years of my life and 9 years of time I spent in school, but there was not a single love story that I inscribed as the saying goes. Though I, Lee Hana, have a beautiful face, maybe even the prettiest among my old school friends, if I intend to decorate myself like them, if I can boast. However I am sure of that, because even though I always hide my face and never dress up though, I quite see how beautiful the former artist Lee Miyoung who was also my eomma during her youth.
Besides being beautiful, I am also the only daughter of one of the famous families in this country and also an outstanding student with above average intelligence, even though I do not have any talent. Three things should be enough to make me considerate, but in fact my tombo appearance is the main concern of everyone. Whether it was because of my tombo appearance that made my opposite sex friend lazy to approach me or because I was the one who could not forget Yongju. However, ever since Yongju told me to find a boyfriend, I decided, "From today on, I'll open my heart and get to know what a man is and love is!" my determination in my heart.
On the other hand, it appeared that the students who had originally noticed my arrival, turned their attention towards my back, even the crowd of students who had originally gathered, were split apart by his arrival. It turned out that the student who had been walking behind me was Kim Namgil, one of the upperclassmen who became the idol of the students in this school. In contrast to myself, Namgil, the adorable tall upperclassman who has always been the best student, always gets love statements from the girls in this school, even countless. But, in addition to being known as the only son of the President, Namgil also got the title as an iceberg because not a single girl managed to melt his heart. Namgil has the image of a friendly upperclassman, but also at the same time, cold untouched. "A curious type of upperclassman" I thought as I eavesdropped on another student's chat about Namgil.
If Namgil is cold to girls because he is shy and does not dare to date, the other is with me. My cold attitude doesn't even know gender, origin and importance. I won't talk, if I don't have to. That's why I don't have friends, let alone friends. I was just friends for school, nothing more. Every time I go home from school, I prefer to lock myself in my room, rather than having to hang out like everyone else. A behavior that makes me like a lead in a fairy tale that I don't like. Like a princess who is always in her beautiful palace. Endure with an ice-cold heart. Blind deaf to the beauty of the outside world, and not knowing what the future will wait for, if I dare to step my feet from my golden cage.
When I looked back, I saw Namgil smiling kindly at some of the students who greeted him directly, although I was sure, not all he knew. A smile so charming with dimples on both cheeks had just left an impression on my heart, "Sweet!" I thought when I saw it. "Ah, what am I thinking! Of course Yongju oppa's smile is the sweetest in the world!" I said inwardly when I realized that for a moment I had been distracted. I continued my steps back to my new class, without realizing it, it was Namgil's turn to look at me and begin to look at me curiously.

Meanwhile in front of the school gate, there were two students who had just got off from one car driving her, even the car carrying the two students looked more expensive than mine. The students returned excited by the arrival of the two of them, even more sounding than the welcome upon the arrival of the president's son. I who had entered the school building until I turned my face back when I heard the excitement, especially some students to run and huddle at the school gate. Of course, it made me curious about the student who was the center of attention. "Who else is coming?" I murmured slowly, stopping my steps and turning around.
The two students are Park Jiwon, an orphan who was fortunate to attend school here after receiving a direct scholarship from the school foundation owner because of his childhood friendship with Kim Daehyun, the son is the sole owner of the school foundation, which is also the second richest family in the country. I tilted my head, looking at the two figures because Namgil, who had been walking behind me, was now standing right in front of me and blocking my view with his tall body. "Looks like he didn't want to step aside," I thought as I realized Namgil was just standing in front of me, but I had already turned my head to the right and left.
Intended not to block Namgil's steps, I also undo my intention to see who triggered the furore and walk back to continue my steps to the classroom. Just a few steps away from Namgil, the screams of some students stopped me and I was forced to turn my face back. Jiwon and Daehyun walked over to Namgil. The three friends also created a beautiful scenery in the morning before starting the lesson, even I myself was fixated on seeing the visuals of the three of them. "Wow." That's all it can get out of my mouth.
The tallest Namgil, looked more dashing and charismatic among the three. Her sharp-looking gaze turned adorable as Namgil smiled sweetly at the two companions with her two charming dimples. Again, "sweet!" I thought I was judging Namgil. Jiwon who first reached beside Namgil, replied with a smile. A beautiful smile like a fairy with adorable eye smile and that is what makes her nicknamed this school fairy, besides because Jiwon is also famous for being polite, kind and friendly. "Looks, he's a fun kid," I'm worth it to Jiwon.
Furthermore, my eyes widened in disbelief with what I saw. "Guabe!" I was blown away as my eyes turned to the next visual, "is he really real?" I thought while watching Daehyun who appeared from behind Namgil with a very haughty face and seemed fierce like a school thug who mastered the entire school. I think it would not be wrong for Daehyun to be the most powerful student in the school because of his status. In addition, Daehyun also got the title of the most popular student because of his charm, even all also know that the young master of the Kim family is a big class playboy. "His face is too handsome!" I thought as I continued my steps.
"Lady classmate, even too handsome! I can't possibly go after all three of them to make a girlfriend. Level is too high. Better, choose ordinary students with the least risk of rejection," I said in my heart, "if only there were men who resembled oppa," I continued with a frown, again looking for the figure of Yongju in others. Daehyun and Jiwon, two best friends who are still in 2nd grade, are already familiar with Namgil who was in 3rd grade since they were small because Daehyun's father is the younger brother of Namgil's father.
"Hey, hyung! Your time to think is over!" jiwon said, while aligning his steps with Namgil. "Yes, I remember" said Namgil indifferently. Daehyun who followed, grabbed Namgil's shoulder as he arrived beside his cousin, "How? Dare to take up the challenge?" tanyanya while playing her eyebrows. "Shoot one of the girls, date one month, then decide! If you forget!" daehyun continued to relax. "Come on! Hyung has to give up the immortal single status of hyung's!" jeyek Jiwon's. "What if I can decide in less than a month?" challenge Namgil back. "Car! Who loses, give me the car!" challenge Daehyun not to lose. "Deal!" sahut Jiwon's.
"Deal. I'll date and break up within a week" Namgil said. "Deal!" sahut Daehyun's. "Who's the girl, it's up to me, isn't it?" ask Namgil, "you can't protest and interfere!" continued again. "Hey, Jiwon! I suspect, it seems like our friend has secretly set the target," said Daehyun suspiciously, "have you determined it during the holidays, huh?" he continued, elbowing Namgil's stomach. "No, I just determined it," Namgil replied with a slight grimace as well.
"Who? What's from Hyung's class? From our class? Or a new kid?" ask Jiwon curiously. "I told you, my cousin is not interested in those girls. Must be a new kid! He said, this year's new kid is pretty!" sahut Daehyun began to spread charm in front of the students they passed. "What are the girls in our class less pretty?" chirp Jiwon. "It's possible that there's a new child more beautiful than the girls to the point of making her change her mind" Daehyun replied indifferently. "really? How pretty?" jiwon asked Namgil.
"But, of course, if it's Hyung's choice, it must be pretty! Ah, I'm curious!" jiwon said again, starting to notice the new faces who were also watching them. "I don't care who the target is!" daehyun. "Is he around here? Which one?" jiwon asked increasingly. Namgil stopped his steps and pointed in one direction, "He! I chose it!" he said confidently, "because in order to win this bet, I will not look for a beautiful one so that I have a good reason to ask to break up from him!" he said in his heart, smiling little.
