The other students started trickling in, heading toward their respective seats. A girl walked over and sat down right beside me. She stared at me for a moment.
"Are you the new student?" she asked.
I looked at her, suddenly feeling a little flustered.
"Oh... y-yes, I am," I managed.
"Nice! I'm Yuna, by the way. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help."
Yuna looked at me and gave me a wide smile. Her striking, cat-like eyes were truly beautiful. I unconsciously smiled back.
"Nice to meet you, Yuna. I'm Y/n."
AHHHH-bhjfhdsfdxvjlxz!
Before I could finish my name, a chorus of high-pitched screams and fangirling erupted near the door. I craned my neck to peek at what they were looking at and saw three very handsome boys chatting casually.
'Oh, well. Handsome boys, but they probably already have girlfriends,' I thought, sighing internally.
"They're at it again," Yuna muttered, rolling her eyes. She looked at the screaming girls as if they were a daily, tiresome nuisance, and then at the boys with complete disinterest. "Even seeing them every single day, they still can't get enough."
"Are those three in our class?" I asked.
"No, only the bunny-looking boy is," she replied. "The other two are seniors, one year above us."
"If you don't mind, who are they?" I asked, trying to sound casual.
"Don't worry, ask freely," she said, waving a hand dismissively. "They are the 'princes' of Bighit Academy—a clique of handsome friends named BTS. There are four other seniors in their group. They all hang out together, so you'll definitely meet the rest soon. Just follow the sound of screaming girls."
She laughed, and I had to laugh so hard I almost cried. Wiping away a tear, I grew curious about something else.
"No wonder the girls are screaming their lungs out," I said, "but what about you? Are you not interested in His Majesties?"
She suddenly reached out, cupped my chin with her hand, and gently tilted my face up to look at her. I completely froze, looking dumbfounded, and swallowed hard.
'What? Did I say something wrong? And I thought we just became friends!' I panicked.
"Why should I focus on someone else," she smirked, her cat eyes sparkling, "when such a cutie is sitting right in front of me?"
I felt my soul try to leap out of my body, but she grabbed it, pulled it back down, and burst out laughing, patting my hair.
"You're so cute, girl! You should have seen your shocked face!"
I was completely lost. What just happened? Was that flirting? My face suddenly started burning red. She was definitely teasing me.
"Yuna, you're at it again! Stop flirting with anyone you find cute; it will make them uncomfortable."
A sweet, melodic voice called out Yuna's name with a hint of disapproval.
'The Prince!' I screamed internally.
