Mina's POV
My new life is beginning. For a year, from now on, I will no longer be "Sharon Myoui". Rather, I will be "Kim Mina". I'm so excited!
"Kim Mina. Are you sure it's a good idea?" Sadness unnie asked.
"Of course, unnie! You're surname sounds cool. Besides, the new friends I made in the IG told me to disguise myself as a poor person. I will get to experience how to live an ordinary life. I'm so excited! It's going to be fun!" I squealed. I wonder what will happen? Maybe I gain true friends there? Eat what normal people eat. More adventures!
"Being an ordinary person is exhausting. Can you handle it?" Sadness unnie asked me. I know she's just worried about me but I've already set my goal. And I ain't going to stop until I achieve it.
"Of course, I can. This is the first time that all I ever wanted is to be accepted for who I am on the inside. Maybe having an ugly face like this could be the start of something good." I explained. I wonder what will happen to me living in a normal world. I hope nothing bad happens.
"Oh, that positive thinking. Positive thinking. Good thinking. Very convincing." Sadness unnie started to mock me. Sometimes she's really annoying. By sometimes, I mean everyday.
"I really mean it. You don't seem to believe me." I pouted as I continued to arrange my luggages.
"I do. I'm admiring you. Are you ready for an ordinary life?" Sadness unnie asked me. I get my scarf and looked at her.
"I am ready." I declared.
After a long ride in the train going to Busan, we're already here! This place is very peaceful. I wonder how people are like in here.
"The building is very old. There's no air conditioning. And it might be haunted. Are you sure you can handle it? Look at that!" Sadness unnie exclaimed as she gripped my arms. I'm kinda uncomfortable just by looking at the place I'll live in.
"Come on, don't worry. It's me, Sharon. I can do it!" I said cheerfully but deep inside I'm very anxious right now.
"Okay. I'm going to go now. Goodbye I can come with you. I'm really worried. You might get lost. Bye bye! Call me if there's a problem." Sadness unnie bowed and wave her hands. I waved back and put my scarf on and get inside the school.
After few hours of getting lost, somebody tapped my shoulder. I turn around and saw a girl.
"Hey you. What are you doing here?" She asked smiling at me Woah! Is she human? How can she be handsome and beautiful at the same time?
"Aren't you coming in?" I'm awestruck that I can't speak. I just stare at her. Wow she's really pretty.
"Are you freshman? What? Can you speak? Or... You can't? Or are you deaf? Can you hear me? Do you hear what I'm saying?" She said confusingly. I turn around so she won't see me. She is so cute!
"Hey you! You didn't answer my question, and now you're acting weird. What's wrong? Are you shy? Or maybe you are mentally ill?" She said as her eyes widened in horror. She maybe pretty but she's dumb. What a waste of pretty face. Why am I being like this too? She's just a girl. I'm straight. What's happening?
"You're acting really weird. Why cover your face with a scarf?" She asked as she tried to pull down my scarf. Luckily I'm fast enough to dodged.
"I can talk." I quickly replied.
"So you can talk. Aren't you uncomfortable? Doesn't it make you uncomfortable?" She asked worriedly. Omo what a cute and caring girl.
"So what's your major? I'll take you to the registration booth." She asked as she stands up straight. She's kinda small but I guess that makes her cute.
"My major is tourism management." I shyly said as I can't look at her stunning face.
"Oh, really? We have the same major. Prepare yourself for freshman initiation. It's going to be fun! Let's go to the registration booth." She smiled showing her deep dimple. Oh gosh what am I feeling. She's so... I don't know how to explain but you know what I mean right? I just smiled at her even though she can't see it and nodded.
"Do you need my help? Why are you shy?" She asked as I just passed by her. Omg! I'm so flustered right now!
We headed to the registration booth. It's so loud here. Like there's a festival, there's drums everywhere and people dancing. I just followed the small girl but many people interact with her. I guess she's popular. I mean she's attractive and extrovert.
"Hey I brought a freshman!" She announced and pointed at me. They all cheered and looked at me.
"Let's ask her. What's your name?" The pale girl asked. She's so white and the fact that we're outside, sun reflecting her skin makes her look like a walking gluta. I wonder if she drinks chlorine to look like that.
"Mina." I shyly answer the smaller girl.
"Mina... Wait a moment." She said as she scan at the papers.
"Oh! We have the same surname. KIM MINA!" She shouted. Omg she's so hyper! What's with her? She's so weird. The crowd cheered at her. She then started to dance at my name. I'm shocked when she suddenly spread her arms, flapping it. She looks like an eagle who got stroke. The girl with dimple just laugh at her antics.
"Oh right! You must like meddling in other people's business." The dimpled girl asked me... making me really uncomfortable. I just shake my head no.
"I'm just kidding! Come here. I'll write your name. What's your nickname?" She asked looking at me. I don't know what to say.
"Okay you're penguin!" She said as she put the name tag in me. Everybody laughed at that and I just look at her ridiculously.
"My nickname is Mina... I'm Mina. Not penguin." I glared at her. She just smirked at me.
"Oh your nickname is Mina? Sorry but try to speak more. Not like your a statue okay?" She mocked me.
"But can you please correct this one?" I begged her. It's embarrassing.
"No." She said as she shakes her head and smirked.
"Come on! But my name is Mina. Not penguin. It's weird" I whined begging her to change it.
"It's a strange name fit for a strange person like you." She explained.
"Please fix it." I gave her my puppy eyes. But she just shook her head.
"It'd be a waste of paper." The short girl said. I'm getting pissed right now.
"Freshman. This name is epic. Wear it. Everybody will remember it. Like my name means 'tiger', Chaeyoung." She smiled at me showing her dimples and looked at me lovingly. I never thought people who's nickname is an animal like elephant, horse, cow, or buffalo were cool. So it's the same with her. I don't know why she's so cool. Chaeyoung.

A/N: oof they finally met. Chaeyoung is pretty cocky in here. Just imagine Chaeyoung is older than Mina because Chaeyoung is a senior.
