The clock now says 10:22

Everyone tried to get comfortable in their seats. Jimin and Seokjin started working on their essay.

Jimin was playing with the pen in his hand twirling it around his fingers, "Who am I? Who am I?"

He attaches the pen to his bottom lip and puts the top under his upper lip. "I am...a...mochi."

Eric looks at him in utter confusion. Jimin notices this, laughs, and takes the pen out of his mouth embarrassed.

After a few hours of complete utter silence, Eric spoke up. He stood up and went searching every cabinet for food. "You know what I could go for right now?"

"Ramen?" Yongsun quickly followed him on his search with an excited smile on her face which inevitably caused him to blush.

"Oh, look your ears are red." Byulyi teased.

Eric cleared his throat and quickly denied her claim. "I'm not, and ramen does sound good."

"Here! I found it!" Yongsun squealed with glee.

"But you guys...the cafeteria's closed." Jimin sadly looked at them.

"We could use the water dispenser at the faculty." Byulyi answered him.

Her eyes then were directed to Seokjin who has not uttered a word since earlier. "Someone's quiet. Oh, don't tell me...Kim Seokjin's pristine stomach can't handle commoner food."

"Shut up Moon. I'm not pristine." He snapped back at her with a glare on his face. though it didn't seem to affect her as much as she continued pushing his buttons.

"B-Byul please stop." Jimin called to his friend.

She ignores Jimin and bends closer to Seokjin. "Yeah. that's why you're here, am I right Kim? You're pristine ass finally rebelling against your father?"

"Why don't you just shut up?" Seokjin muttered against his clenched teeth.

"The only moment you thought for yourself, yet it goes terribly wrong."

"What about you then? You think you're so great just so you always speak your mind?"

"At least I think for myself! I don't just leave people that are important to me just because it could ruin...their precious reputation." she gestured all over him from head to toe. "So much for being someone's friend."

Tension was quickly rising up in the air among all of them and Jimin was already panicking especially between the school prince and the school's basket case. Though hearing their argument, they could guess there must be something more.

Ironically, they were all saved when their teacher arrived. He had his arms crossed and glared at all of them who were completely disobeying his rules.

Eric saved all of them, "Seonsaengnim, we were just wondering who would come and ask you about bathroom issues."

"By the way, can we also get some water? We're all kinda parched and...so we could this eat too." He gestured to the ramen they've found.

Their teacher simply shrugged. "Yeah, sure."

Everyone grins.

"What do you think, I was born yesterday? You." he pointed at Eric then to Yongsun, "and you. Come follow me."

The trio walked out into the hallway. Yongsun was looking around trying to find some other thing to do.

"You okay?" her eyes flickered to the guy behind her. She offered a shy smile, "Yeah."

"I'm Eric Nam by the way. You wanna talk for a while?"

"Yongsun. Kim Yongsun."

"Yeah I know you." Her eyes widening as she started panicking, "It was because of the alcohol!"

All eyes then turned at her sudden squeal and she had to cover face to hide her embarrassment. She turned back from the two men and tried to black everything out.

"Yah! We all know why you're here Kim, now shut up and hurry up!" their teacher grumbled as he glared at the young woman. He continued pacing down the hallway.

Yongsun could only look at the ground as tears well up in her eyes but before a tear could fall a comforting hand patted her shoulder.

"You're one of the singers in the plays here, right?" Eric offered a small smile assuring her.

"O-oh. I'm just...a backup singer." She quietly mumbles as she played with the end of her skirt.

Eric only gave her a hum and laughed lightly to make her more comfortable, "So, uhh...what's with the outburst?"

She heaved a sigh and gave him a half smile.

"My friends and I started this dream together that in high school we'd make a name for ourselves and everything. I was...getting left behind."

Her voice was already starting to crack and she had to curse herself for being so weak. She quickly turned her gaze away from him and looked at the floor. "I'm happy for them, don't get me wrong. But you know, sometimes you just get frustrated. My relationship with my mom ain't helping either, she and my dad..."

She rubbed her hands through face, forcing herself not to cry but the feeling was just too heavy for her heart to handle. Small pool of tears was already forming in her eyes clouding her vision.

"They're getting divorced. So, my sister and I are kinda lost right now? Then that afterparty came..."

She can't help but to cringe at the memory. "Let's just say I kinda got a...little too wild."

"How much is little?"

"I...ended being drunk and just suddenly started singing and dancing in our club...and got filmed."

Eric let out a chuckle, but not because he was laughing at her. He was amazed actually, "You drank on a school night...at school. Who knew you were such a rule breaker?"

Yongsun rubbed the back of her neck trying to cover her flushed face. it was definitely not one of her proudest moments. She asked him then his reason trying to get the topic off her.

"So uhh...what about you?"

Before Eric could answer, they've already arrived at their destination.
