Chaeryeong POV
As soon as we finish eating lunch at the cafeteria, we head straight towards our classroom.
"Arrrggghhh Ryujin! Stop it already!" I said while running around the room chasing Ryujin
"I won't give it back unless you treat me ice cream later!" She said while waving my notebook and giggling
"No! I already treat you lunch already! You're being a meanie" I rushed towards Ryujin hoping to have a grip on my notebook when suddenly I tripped and someone catched me.
"Oh I'm sorry." I said as I bowed down and run again to chase Ryujin. I didn't get the chance to look at her face since Ryujin's already reading my diary. That's right. The notebook Ryujin took is my diary! I'm so pissed right now.
"Ryujin!" I shouted and the whole class is now looking at us.
"Give it back now or else I'll tell Yeji-unnie and Lia-unnie that you slept in the entire class again so you'll be scolded once we got home" I said angrily
"Fine, fine. Here's your notebook. And by the way, I'll treat you to ice cream later so please don't tell the unnies that I slept at class earlier" she said while pouting
"Ah! Darn it! Okay! Just make sure to buy me ice cream later!" I went back to my seat at the farther back by the window.
"Ryujin! Go to your seat now!" I called her. Why do I always need to take care of Ryujin? We're the same age but she always act like a kid. I can't help it though. She's my only friend here.
Ryujin quickly ran to her seat beside me as she saw the professor coming.
"Good morning class" Ms. Kim said and we exchanged greetings
"Before I forgot, you have a new classmate here. She's younger than you guys so please be friendly. " Ms. Kim said and we agreed in unison
"Ms. Shin can you please introduce yourself here in front?" Ms. Kim called the new student and she quickly got up.
From where she's sitting, I guess she's one of the so called "school goddess" 'coz shes sitting beside Gaeul and in front of her is Wonyoung and Yujin. I just knew their name because Ryujin told me. I'm not the friendly type of person but Ryujin's the opposite of me.
"Good morning fellow classmates. I'm Shin Yuna, you can call me Yuna for short. I hope we can get along well this school year." She said and bowed down her head.
As I look at my classmates, their taking pictures of her. So I'm sure that my guess is right. She's one of the F4
"You know you're staring at her right?" Ryujin said and chuckle. She's teasing me again
"You know, mind your own business. I'm paying attention to the new student if that's what you want to know." I told her and rolled my eyes
So her name is Shin Yuna....
After introducing herself, she went back to her seat which is infront of me and Ryujin.
So the seat arrangement is like
Classmate a classmate b
Wonyoung Yujin
Gaeul Yuna
Me Ryujin
Before she sit, she look at me and I think she smile.
"Okay, for this activity, i need you to form groups of 4. To make it easier, we're going to follow the seating arrangement" Ms. Kim said and all the students agreed
Yuna POV
Ryujin and Chaeryeong unnie seems very close. Like super close. I wonder what does it feel to be close to Chaeryeong unnie.
Everytime I see her my heart skips a beat and it scares me. I've been idolizing her since their debut. I even buy their albums and collect their photocards. My room can be called Aetzy museum now because of the merchandise i bought and displayed at my shelf. That's why my friends knew that I love Chaeryeong unnie.
"Earth to Yuna" Gaeul called me 3x already and I didn't notice
"Hmmm?" I hummed
"You've been spacing out. Thinking of something? O someone? She said then smirked at me
"Yah Gaeul" I said while pouting
Have I ever told you guys that I'm younger than Wonyoung, Yujin and Gaeul? You may wonder why I'm not calling them unnie. We decided to drop the honorifics since I will only be the one to call them unnie and we're friends like the day we were born. Our parents are on the same business and on top of that, they're partners.
"Did you heard what Ms. Kim said?" Gaeul ask me
"What did she said?" I ask confused 'coz Gaeul was smirking at me and I didn't know why
"We'll be in the same group as them" Gaeul said and pointed at the other two behind us
My eyes just widened. I felt so happy knowing I'll be able to talk to her for the first time.
(Time skip)
Chaeryeong POV
"So we're in a group with them huh?" Ryujin chuckles while looking at me
"So what? We're just going to make an activity. And for all I know she's (Yuna) smart that's why she's in our class taking advance classes for her age" I just scoffed and look away from Ryujin so she would stop teasing me
"Since our subject is about social science, why don't we have a debate about life differences? Your group will have to decide of the what differences in life your going to debate with. And since your a group of four, it's a fight between two and two. Are we clear?" Ms. Kim said and we all nodded
After that, we we're given a time to brainstorm with each other and in order to do that, Gaeul and Yuna turned their chairs, now facing Ryujin and me.
We saw the other students looking at us and we can hear some of them saying "The school celebrities with the school beauties, I wonder what will their debate all about"
And that gave me an idea
"We need to debate on life differences right?" I ask them to make it clear
"Dude, you told me earlier your paying attention to class, now your asking about the activity?" Ryujin said as she nudges me
"Yes" Yuna answered my question
"So I was thinking, what about we dabate about our lives like we literally have different lives. We're a celebrity seen in tv, you're a celebrity, a goddess at school" I said hoping they'll agree
"What you're proposing, sounds difficult." Ryujing said
"Why?" I asked her cluelessly
"Well, you know why" she replied. That was short but I get it
"Are we gonna do this or we'll think of a new one?" Gaeul interrupt
"I guess it's okay. Right Ryu? I ask Ryujin while looking at her
"Hhmmm" she just hummed but we took it as a yes
After we agreed on the topic, we brainstorm with our partner. Ofcourse my partner will be Ryujin. The both of us understand each other most.
"Chae, you're sure about this huh?" Ryujin is still asking even though we already agreed on it
"Yes. But, do you have second thoughts?" I asked her
"None" she finally smiles
"Just make sure not to mention the company rules or else our boss will definitely punish us" she said while fake crying
"Okay okay. We can do these" I said as I pursed my lips
Wonyoung and Yujin are at the front now having a debate. They're quite smart too. Wonyoung's always on point when talking and Yujin has the broader answer and explanation in every thrown at us.
Some of the students where taking videos of the debate. Of course, the school goddesses are having a debate putting their minds in the activity like their life depends on it.
Next up would be us
We went to the front together with Gaeul and Yuna. As we stood at the front we introduced ourselves one by one and heard our students cheering. Are they really looking forward for our group's debate?
"Our groups topic would be the life differences between a celebrity which will be Ryujin and me, and a normal citizen, Gaeul and Yuna" I stated before we start our debate
"A celebrities life may be unreachable but a normal life is beyond reachable" Yuna started the debate
"As a celbrity myself, I can say that having this life may be hard but the fact that we're one step higher than the normal people brings us joy and wonder" I replied
"Are you happy that you're a celebrity? 'coz you look like you don't" Gaeul fired at us
"Well, coming from you, I want to ask you the same question. We celebrities, focus on our careers achieving our goal. Buying things we wanted to, giving our family allowances that they need, we support charities and stuff and most of all, we make our fans happy" Ryujin fired back
"Don't you think a normal citizen cant do the things you celebrities do? You may be one step away from us but the fact that we experience the suffer of our fellow "normal" citizen, that hits different." Yuna fired back as well
"We don't underestimate the normal citizen's ability, but never underestimate the hardship we celebrities been through. All people will do everything to achieve their goals in life. Just like us, we trained for years to get here. And now, this is our reward for our hardwork. Our reward for continuously working hard day and nigh." I said while looking at Yuna. Well I almost cried.
I know some people hates us. We can't make them love us though. And actually, Yeji-unnie, Lia-unnie, Ryujin and me suffered from all those hate before we reached here. And until now there are still people who throws hate at us.
"Time" Ms. Kim then stood up and give us an applause. When we faced them, we saw that there are also other students outside the classroom watching our debate. It is really that interesting?
We bowed down and went back to our seats
"You did well" Yuna said
"And I'm sorry. I didn't mean any of those words" Yuna bowed at us before sitting down
"Nah. It's fine" Ryujin answered for me
(Time skip)
"Well done guys. I hope you learned something from this activity. I'll better get going now. Class dismissed" Ms. Kim said
As i was packing my things, someone approached me and stood in front of me. Then I turned my head to see Yuna standing.
"Do you need anything?" I asked her 'coz she was just standing in front of me
"Uhm.... Can I call you unnie?" She asked shyly
"Of course. I'm older than you so I guess it's okay" i replied and smiled at her.
Again, there are students taking pictures of us. This one is new to them as far as I know. This is the first time a school celebrity and a school goddess interact with each other
"Unnie one more thing" she's looking on the floor. I guess she's shy
"What is it?" I asked her again
"Can I have your number?" Now I get it why she's shy
I chuckled "Of course you can have my number."
She handed me her phone and I type it anyways.
After that she thanked me and bowed again before she runs towards her friends whose waiting at the door looking at us
"What?" I asked Ryujin 'coz I know she's been staring at me for a long time now
"I'll tell Yeji-unnie and Lia-unnie your flirting at school" she smirked
"No I'm not" i said while pouting
"Don't you fool me Ryu, you're still going to buy me ice cream" I said and glared at her
"Yes mam. Let's go before the unnies come and pick us up" Ryujin said
We went to the cafeteria to buy some ice cream and to our surprise, we saw the unnies sitting on one of the benches inside the cafeteria. We quickly run towards them
"Yah! Unnie! What are you doing here?" Ryujin and I asked in unison
"Uhm we're eating?" Yeji-unnie replied
"We know you're eating, but how did you got inside the campus? Only students and the faculty members are allowed inside" I asked them.
I'm still confused though. This is an exclusive school. Only students and faculty members can enter the premises.
"I have my ways." Lia-unnie smirked
"Oh.... I want to have that "ways" unnie" Ryujin said as she chuckles
"We're just going to buy some ice cream then we can head home" I said as I dragged Ryujin to the ice cream stall
When we got back to the unnies, Ryujin suddenly said
"Unnies, something happen at class today" she's smiling evily and looking at me
"What is i~" I cut Lia-unnie
"Let's go home first okay?" I asked and pushed them towards the door exit
We bumped with the F4 as we head out of the cafeteria. Crowds once again gathers as they saw us. Well now our group Aetzy is complete and we're facing the F4. We exchanged greetings and Ryujind and I introduced them to the unnies. I took a quick glance on Yuna and she smiled at me and I smiled back. We bid our goodbyes and head towards the car
"Chae, I saw you there." Yeji-unnie said while driving
"That's Yuna right? She's pretty. And also, she looks kind" Lia-uunie said as she turns her head to wear I'm sitting
"That's what I'm supposed to tell you earlier! She has a crush on Yuna!" Ryujin exclaimed
"When did I said I have a crush on her? Besides, even if I do, we're not allowed to date yet and I bet she doesn't think the same way". I said as I looked outside the window
"It's too early to say that Chae. 2 months, just two more months and we'll be free from dating" Yeji-unnie winked at me
We reached our apartment and got off from the car
"Unnie, I'll head up first. I'm tired, I want to rest" I said
"Okay. We'll call you when dinners ready. Do you want home cook or should we just order?" Yeji-unnie asked
"Anything's fine" I replied before dashing to catch the elevator
I went straight to bed just staring at the ceiling like I always do.
Do I really have a crush on her?
Maybe it's just an infatuation?
Why would I like her? I just met her this morning
Does she even like me back?
This are the thoughts running in my mind when my phone suddenly buzz.
~Unknown number~
Hi Chaeryeong unnie :)
It's Yuna by the way
Hi Yuna
Do you need anything?
There's non actually
Just wanted to text you :)
Oh. Okay :)
Save my number unnie ;)
Sure :)
I put my phone down and dozed off a little then someone knocked on the door. It's Lia-unnie
"Chae, dinner's ready" Lia-unnie said
"Okay unnie, I'll be there in a minute" I replied and smiled at her
At the dinner table
"I hope you don't mind, we ordered take outs for dinner." Yeji said while taking a bite on her pizza
"It's okay unnie. You even got the flavor I want for the shake. Thanks" I said while taking a slice of the pizza and sipping in my shake
"By the way unnie, do we have schedule tomorrow?" I ask the unnies
"None. Manager-nim told us we can have a day off since tomorrow is Saturday and there's no school for you and Ryu" Lia-unnie said while reading the text from our manager
"Okay that's good. We can have the time to ourselves tomorrow" Ryujin said while munching on her pizza
After we ate, Ryujin and I are assigned to clean the dinner table. Today's our schedule to clean though. Afterwards, we decided to brush our teeth and go to our rooms.
When I enter the room I saw Lia-unnie tapping on her phone
"Unnie, what are you doing?" I asked her.
"Nothing. Give me your phone" she said
"Again?" I asked and she nodded
I gave her my phone and she's tapping and scrolling nonstop then gave it back to me.
I lay down on my bed and she said "Check you phone, I made you an account on the app"
So I checked it
"Unnie! Why's my name like this?" I pouted
"Why? Isn't it sexy? It suits you very well" she said then smirk
She made an account and I can't believe she put that name on it. It says Chae Goddess. Unnie is just being herself. Lia-unnie's always like that, she's being playful but in a different way.
I just sighed and scroll on the app. Should I post something? Guess I could try
Chae Goddess
~What does it feel to have a normal life?~
I'm dozing off now. So I'll end it here. I'll publish the next chapter as soon as possible 🙏
