Teacher: Everyone listen, this is Geum Jan-di, a transfer student. Please welcome her

All: Welcome to our class, Jan-di

Jan-di: Thank you

Teacher: stares at an empty seat [he's not in class today]. Where's Eun-woo?

Class: he hasn't come

Teacher: ok, Jan-di, sit over there (points to an empty seat)

Break time

Cafeteria

Jan-di:

Mate: Hey mate, mind if I sit here?

Jan-di: Not at all

Mate: Thanks (sits with her friend). Have you heard?

Mate 2: Yes, Eun-woo is currently with Han-bi

Mate 3: Oh my gosh, they are perfect for each other, I really envy her

Jan-di: [who's this Eun-woo guy] excuse me, I've been hearing a lot since, during class, I heard his name countless number of times, who is he?

Mate: he's a very nice person to know. He's pretty popular in school

Mate 2: he's very cute and sweet

Mate 3: and handsome, we his supporter have a channel where we support him, would you like to join the group?

Jan-di: [how will I join a group about someone I don't] I'll pass, thanks (leaves to go outside) this school is very pretty and big [I wonder if I'll make any friends, I don't need them] (suddenly, a basketball hits her head and she fell to the ground)

Kim Tae-hyun: (runs in) I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, it was an accident

Jan-di: (returns the ball) that did hurt

Kim Tae-hyun: Are you new?

Jan-di: Yes

Kim Tae-hyun: I think I got dirt all over your face. Let me wash that off

Jan-di: it's okay, carry on with your game, I'll watch it off myself (runs away) [people in this school are strange]

Kim Tae-hyun:

Boy: (background) come over here with ball man

Kim Tae-hyun: Sorry (throws it in)

Jan-di: Who was that (while running, she mistakenly bumped into someone)

Kim Ha-neul: Geum Jan-di sunbae? You school here?

Jan-di: I'm new here

Kim Ha-neul: Did you rub your face in mud? You've got dirt all over. Let me watch it off for you

Jan-di: All right

 Soon, the closing bell rang, and the so-called Eun-woo neither attended class nor showed up, after which Jan-di got changed and went to her mom's store where she found her cooking

Jan-di: (walks in)

Mrs. Geum: I'm glad you're here, someone ordered some food, I just packed it up and was wondering how I was going to deliver it, it's good you're here, deliver this, the address is written on the paper inside the package and the phone number of the person

Jan-di: I'm very hungry, shouldn't I at least rest?

Mrs. Geum: Hurry up, I made something delicious, I'll give it to you when you return

Jan-di: Alright, but I'm tired (takes the order and leaves in bicycle). I'm hungry, I better deliver this on time, I'll paddle faster (she then traced the address to a very big building)

Gateman: You're the delivery lady?

Jan-di: Yes

Gateman: You're so young, well, the young master said to let the delivery man come to him

Jan-di: Really? [But I'm very hungry, how wicked of him] alright, where is it?

Gateman: Just walk straight into the building, keep going, you'll see the main door, then walk straight up, then go to the 3rd room.

Jan-di: [ Are you kidding me? If I were supergirl, I'd fly, I'm not some kind of...] thank you, sir (she then followed the directions and went to the room. To her surprise, she met the same guy who she met at the road earlier). You?

Eun-woo: Hey, low class citizen, you're the delivery lady? (Takes the food from her, opens it. Hey, you missed it all up

Jan-di: You can pay now so I can leave

Eun-woo: Don't you have respect for your customer? Where's the "sir"? You won't get your complete money

Jan-di: I've met with a lot of customers but not someone like you, I would have said you don't want to pay me but waste my time because you're not capable but....

Eun-woo: (cuts-in) Heat it up

Jan-di: What? [Why does he always cut me short]

Eun-woo: you mixed it up and it's cold, I'm sure it won't taste as nice as before, heat it up and serve me then you'll get your money, I might even tip you if you do what you're told properly, the kitchen's by the corner (walks away)

Jan-di: Wait, this is a mansion. Isn't there supposed to be a servant in it

Eun-woo: Yes, you're here (leaves)

Jan-di: I'm the servant?(scoffs) [I'm starving, what type of a boy is he] (she then made her way to the kitchen, heated the food up and served it to him on his dinning table)

Eun-woo: (tastes it) not bad, I saw that the shop was new on the block so I ordered it in order to give it a chance, you can leave

Jan-di: My payment

Eun-woo: You haven't completed your task, "sir."

Jan-di: "sir"?

Eun-woo: Yes

Jan-di: What do you take me for?

Eun-woo: a low class citizen who doesn't deserve to go to Seoul Haneul Academy and is so careless and disrespect and doesn't keep to the rule who says that customer is also right and someone who....

Jan-di: Hey, how don't I keep to the rule which says customer is always right? I need to go home because I'm hungry right now

Eun-woo: If you keep to the rule, I'll give you your money, and I don't care if you're hungry

Jan-di: Alright, please pay me my payment "sir"

Eun-woo: I'll prefer that, you know, when you're talking to someone who has an higher class than you, you should prostrate and greet (throws the money on the floor) I tipped you, you can leave

Jan-di: (picks the money and throws the tip on the floor) I don't really need your tip, you know, you should try to be more human (leaves)

Eun-woo: more human (scoffs)

Arriving home

Mrs. Geum: What took you so long

Jan-di: I.....

Mrs. Geum: Anyway, never mind, The man sent me a tip

Jan-di: a tip?

Mrs. Geum: Check the transfer (gives her the phone)

Jan-di: (takes the phone to see the transfer name- Jang Eun-woo) Eun-woo?

Mrs. Geum: (takes her phone) You know him?

Jan-di: Not really

Mrs. Geum: Well, he's a real gentleman, I pray you find a husband like him one day. He tipped us well (leaves)

Jan-di: [they spoke so highly of him about him being sweet but he's a punk, maybe he's not the Eun-woo but that Eun-woo wasn't present at class, I'll have to find him tomorrow to pay him the tip back even if I need to use my entire savings, I need to save my honour, that money is huge] umma, I'm starving.

Next day

Jan-di: (she had an earpiece plugged into her ears as she was listening to cool music while walking through the gate of her school) 🎵lalalala🎵

Eun-woo: (drives in, stops and rolls the glass down) What an awful first view of school in the morning, now my day is going to be bad

Jan-di: bad?

Eun-woo: When my first view of the day is bad, I get a bad day, you low class citizen, earpods are the new trend now, not earpiece (drives away)

Jan-di: he could have just driven past me, but he chose to pester me I need to pay him his money back so I'll not be indebted to him, I'm getting late.

Kim Ha-neul: (runs in) Jan-di, hey, this is my brother, Kim Tae-hyun

Kim Tae-hyun: Is this Jan-di who helped you the other day?

Kim Ha-neul: Yes, my hero

Geum Jan-di: Hero?

Kim Ha-neul: yes, I knitted you a scarf as a thank you gift (gives it to her), it'll be snowy real soon, Geum Jan-di sunbae, I'll go to class now, bye (leaves)

Geum Jan-di: Thanks

Kim Tae-hyun: I didn't know you were the one my sister spoke about, I haven't met with you properly to thank you, the only time I met with you was when my ball greeted you

Geum Jan-di: The ball did greet me well.

Kim Tae-hyun: Well, what I'm trying to say is that I'm really grateful because anyone who protects and loves my sister is a good friend of mine thanks a lot

Geum Jan-di: You're welcome, I'm in a hurry to class (leaves).

 After talking with Kim Tae-hyun, Geum Jan-di decided to go to class but at the entrance of class, she saw a lot of girls standing there with a cute face, it was crowded, she hated crowded faces so she made her way inside while struggling as no one allowed her to pass, when she finally got inside, she saw Eun-woo sitting beside her seat while reading a magazine

Geum Jan-di: [so he's the Eun-woo and the reason these ladies are gathered here, I can't believe his seat is so close to mine, did they curse me?]

Girls: Oh my gosh, Eun-woo is reading a magazine, so cool, awwwnnn , so cool

Geum Jan-di: Who can't read a magazine? What is so cool about that? [Oh my gosh, I can believe I just said that out loud] (sits down)

Eun-woo: low class citizen, I don't like anyone sitting down close to me, get out.

Geum Jan-di: Get out? I was placed here by the teacher

Eun-woo: Fine, don't disturb me, I like it peaceful and quiet

Geum Jan-di: Who do you think you are to boss me around? You can change your seat if you're not comfortable about it (but of them engaged in eye contact with rage flowing through them)

 Later that day after class, Geum Jan-di decided to stroll around the school compound. It was huge

Geum Jan-di: oh my gosh, it's like going on around the world (she then spotted an empty class and entered it) I've been itching to dance since, I love dancing, I can play my music now and dance (she then brought out her phone, put on some music, placed it on the desk after which she shot the door closed and started dancing) mom doesn't like loud music, this is the only way to knock myself out with joy (after dancing, she decided to go back to class, while walking down the road, she saw Eun-woo talking to a timid looking kid)

Kid: I'm sorry, Eun-woo sunbae

Geum Jan-di: [is he bullying him? He's not only a wicked person, he's a monster] (watching from a distance)

Eun-woo: You're sorry? I don't accept apology (blows him)

Kid: (blood rushing down his noise)

Eun-woo: Now you got my hand stained with your filthy blood (she then kicked him, causing to land on the floor)

Geum Jan-di: Eun-woo,stop it

Eun-woo: (he spotted her then walked up to her) you low class citizen should learn how to mind your filthy business

Geum Jan-di: Do you want to kill him? Can't you see that he's just a junior, a kid? You shouldn't....

Eun-woo: Who are you to lecture me dummy? Don't you dare do that, I could get you expelled with just a phone call, so stop pushing me and mind your business

Geum Jan-di: (speechless)

Eun-woo: (he then walked past her, bumping her shoulder)

Geum Jan-di: [he's getting on my nerves, I really do hate him] (angrily kicks the stone on the floor). If this is how rich boys behave, they should be bounded, I'll do that when I become a police officer (walks away)

Later in class

Teacher:....so that's all for light wave, let's go into sound waves (scribbles onto the board)

Geum Jan-di: [I can't believe he's sitting next to me, I feel like punching him right now, but gosh, I'm very tired, I didn't eat during break, I spent it dancing and scolding him, enough about him]

Teacher: Jan-di? Are you troubled?

Geum Jan-di: ma'am?

Teacher: I've been noticing you. You seem quite disturbed, are you all right?

Geum Jan-di: Yes, I'm perfectly fine, thanks

Teacher: If that is so, take out your books and start writing (faces the board back)

Geum Jan-di: alright ma'am (brings out her book)

 After class, everyone filed out of the class, Geum Jan-di was being peaceful and quiet as she walked down the path leading to the exit of the school when suddenly, a car drove passed her and splashed water from the puddle of water on the floor.

Geum Jan-di: gosh, (stares at the car plate number) that's that arrogant boy (grinds teeth) Eun-woo

Girls passing: Oh my gosh, her uniform is bad, it's embarrassing, she shouldn't walk out of school like that (leaves)

Geum Jan-di: he's making my life miserable

Kim Tae-hyun: (walks in) Eun-woo? he does that a lot. Your uniform looks bad

Geum Jan-di: he just splashed water on me in his car

Kim Tae-hyun: he does that a lot, you can't go home like that (he then took off his jacket and wrapped around her, Geum Jan-di became speechless as she was shocked, having goosebumps)

Geum Jan-di: (stares at him while touching the jacket)

Kim Tae-hyun: See you tomorrow (leaves)

Geum Jan-di: OMG, good people still exist, I never thought I'd meet any nice person after encountering Eun-woo . Kim Tae-hyun
