[ END OF V'S POV ]

You walked down the hall putting on your black face mask. You had been to the school before when it had been built, so you knew your way around. You walked directly towards the principal's office and knocked twice before entering. As soon as you entered you were greeted by the bowing teachers and principal, you bowed back in return as they stood in a line in front of you.

"Annyeong haseyo, Jeoneun Elena Wood-imnida. Cheoeum boepgesseumnida."(Hello, My name is Elena Wood. Nice to meet you!) you introduced yourself even though you were already known by all staff at school.

The staff immediately started introducing themselves as well, without any mistakes. It seemed as they had rehearsed this well. After offering greetings from your father as well and talking about a few topics of importance, you were given the option to make your own time table. You agreed and designed it like this.

1 - English 7:00-7:40 am

2 - Maths 7:45-8:25 am

3 - Korean 8:30-9:10 am

4 - Science 9:15-9:55 am

5 - Social Studies (geography and history) 10:00-10:40 am

LUNCH BREAK [10:45-11:30 am]

6 - Art 11:30-12:10

7 - Music 12:15-12:55

8 - Dance 1:00-1:40

[ SCHOOL OVER ]

Good, you thought as you nodded at the principal and staff who were already bowing. You were guided by Ms. Lauren to her English class. Standing outside a big classroom with Ms. Lauren written at the top, you could hear the student's talking and laughing. You entered the class after Ms. Lauren and introduced yourself with the name Elena Claire while acting all shy. A few students cooed at your shyness while most of them made fun of you and gave you nasty and dirty looks. You walked towards an empty seat acting sad but you felt really happy inside.

As class ended you were about to leave to get your books from your locker when....

"Miss Claire can I have a word?" Ms. Lauren asked.

"Ofcourse ma'am."

You walked towards the teacher's table and waited for all the students to leave.

"What is it Ms. Lauren?"

"Well don't you recognize me?" There was a hint of hesitation and doubt in her voice.

"Sorry am I supposed to?" You asked feeling a bit startled at your teacher's remark.

"Well ofcourse I do not expect you to recognize your best friend right?"

"Well....Wait a sec.. Oh SHIT ARE YOU KIDDING ME? NO WAY YOU HAVE CHANGED TOO MUCH JENNY LAUREN.."

"Ofcourse not ya idiot I'm in disguise see?" She said as she removed her wig and makeup to reveal her pretty and short hair and a beautiful young face.

"No way!!!" You exclaimed and gave her a huge bear hug and Jenny returned it, laughing.

"Wow I never thought you would become a teacher Jen(Jen is Jenny's nickname). Aren't you supposed to handle your dad's property?"

"Well, yes I am but you see I wanted a break, so dad suggested me to become a teacher. LOL all the students think I am very old, but in reality I am just 23."

"OMG and to think that we are like 3 years apart but still besties"

"I know right!"

You both giggled as you caught up on each other's life, shared stories and experiences after Jen left for Korea.

You both were disturbed when the bell rang....

"Wait.... what? it's already 8:25!" You exclaimed as you glanced at your wristwatch "Dude I missed Math because of you" You sighed in a somewhat bored tone.

"Well you don't look troubled", Jen said confused.

"Ofcourse I am not.... I own this school, nobody's stopping me from bunking a few classes plus you know I am an ace student" You said proudly as you flipped your hair. You stared at each other for a few seconds after that remark and burst out laughing.

"Hey how about ice-cream tomorrow? I am a bit busy today. Gotta check some answer sheets"

"Sure", You replied with a nod.

You helped Jenny put on her wig and did her makeup. After that you gave her one last hug before running off to your next class.

[ TIME SKIP TO LUNCH BREAK ]

"Keep the door open Elena, I am about to leave anyway"

You dropped your books in shock as you stared at the person standing before you. "Jack, is that you?" You asked uncertainly.

"Yup"

"The hell you doing here", You asked him as you eyed him up and down. He was wearing an old suit, a wig and a bit of makeup to make him look old, but he was still recognizable.

"Well you see I have to follow you everywhere...And What is better than being your school Math teacher.", He replied with a cheeky grin that did not suit his clothing and makeup.

"What is with people dressing up as my teachers, first Jenny now you." You asked cringing at Jack's grin that was still plastered at his face.

"So you have already met Jen.... I was wondering why you did not show up at my class"

After that he looked at you weirdly.

"What's the matter dude.... Why you staring at me like that?" You asked him.

"Why aren't you congratulating me?"

"Huh? On successfully being a math teacher? Well congratulations to you sir!", You replied sarcastically while bowing your head in a funny way.

"Hasn't Jenny told you?"

"Told me what?", You asked confused.

"Well Jenny is my fiance. I told you I was getting married didn't I?" He said.

You squealed loudly as you pulled him in for a hug.

"Woah!!Congo man. never knew you made a move on her when I wasn't around!", You grinned sheepishly. You guys talked for like 5 minutes, after that he had to leave.

You squealed and jumped around cutely after he left. You calmed down after a bit and you decided to practice smoking since your role in a new drama was of a badass cop who smoked and her journey of quitting was the subplot. You took out an cigarette from your pocket and brought it to your lips. You acted as you were in the drama right now and looked over the railing at the view ahead. Just at that moment the rooftop door burst open and six loud males entered with a seventh one behind them who looked as if he was so done with the rest and he shook his head at them lazily.

All of them stopped in front of you and eyed you as you stared at them. It was like a staring contest, no one spoke. Until...

"Who the hell are you and what are you doing here?", asked the blonde one with a cold look on his face. You recognized him immediately he was the one who you made eye contact with in the halls.

"I could ask you the same question" You replied coolly.

"Are you smoking?" Another one asked as he looked, worried at the cigarette in your hand.

"None of your business.... As a matter of fact no. It's not lit." You replied smoothly.

The boys looked at each other and one of them spoke up.

"Nice to meet you, I am Kim Namjoon or Rap-monster. Leader of BTS." He smiled sweetly and introduced himself with a bow.

You introduced yourself (using your fake surname) without smiling and bowed

The other boys took this as cue and introduced themselves. Taehyung/ the one you saw in the morning stuck out his hand for you to shake.

You hesitantly shook it feeling a wave a electricity through your body. Not knowing that the man standing in front of you would be the cause of your happiness in a few months time.
