Math has never been Minjeong's thing.

Sure, she's good at it, but it has never been one of her favorites. She doesn't know why numbers need to be so complicated. There could've been a shortcut, for all she knows. And yet, someone just have to make it harder for them.

Minjeong looked at her side, seeing how her best friend tries to keep herself from falling asleep.

"You good?" The short haired girl whispered.

Aeri glanced at her with a pout.

"It's boring."

"It sure is."

Aeri cannot stand silence, and Minjeong knows that. She knows how her friend likes to keep herself wide awake, and how she likes to be in a lively place with crowds and loud noises. 

Surely one of the reasons why Aeri is so popular. 

Uchinaga Aeri, how should Minjeong describe her best friend? She's the life of the party, the life of the campus, even. She's one of the most popular students in their University and everyone likes her. She has a lot of friends, whether from inside or outside of the school.

Aeri is a part of the volleyball team, which means she is really sporty. She's a model too, and the representative of the school. She's everything that everyone wants to be.

Everyone, except for Minjeong.

Minjeong and Aeri are very much the polar opposites of each other. While Aeri is the popular lively girl, Minjeong is the quiet and mysterious one. Not that she likes being mysterious, it's just that there are some things that she wants to be hidden. 

Minjeong likes her private life. Nobody needs to know everything about her because it isn't necessary, that's what she says. 

Unlike Aeri, Minjeong likes silence. She prefers to be alone most of the time, but that is almost impossible to happen since she seems to be surrounded with people like Aeri.

Namely Shin Ryujin and Shin Yuna. 

She's not a sporty person, nor someone who has a lot of friends. In fact, she doesn't even know why Aeri decided to befriend her. They are the complete opposites, what could be the possible reason as to why she became friends with Aeri?

Aeri said, Minjeong is like an open book that nobody bothers to read. 

She doesn't know if that's an insult or a compliment.

Either way, she doesn't really care.

Minjeong wants her life as it is right now. She doesn't really care about having a lot of friends or gaining popularity. Although Aeri's life looks very pleasing, Minjeong would rather stay with the way of her living. 

"Wanna go with us later? Gonna hang out with friends, Ryujin and Yuna are there also." Aeri whispered beside her.

Minjeong rolled her eyes playfully as she leaned back on her chair. 

"You know my answer."

"Never gonna change?"

"Nope."

"It's fun."

She looked at the Half Japanese. "Staying at home is also fun."

Aeri couldn't help but to sigh, knowing that she can't really persuade Minjeong to come after so many tries. "You'll be alone this weekend again?"

"I have some company."

"Who?"

"A friend."

"I hate how you make suspenseful responses." 

Minjeong chuckled. "You'll meet her…soon."

An hour had passed before their math class ended. It's their last subject for the day and they are now ready to go home. Minjeong took her time placing her things on her backpack, not wanting to push herself to the crowd of students who are eager to get out of the class. Aeri stood at the side, seemingly waiting for Minjeong.

"You don't have training today?" Minieong said and slung her backpack on her shoulder as she and Aeri went out of the room. 

"I don't feel like going."

"But you have the energy to hang out?"

Giselle snorted. "It's different, Minjeong."

The said girl shrugged. "Whatever you say."

A few students can be seen looking at them, and honestly, this is not a surprising thing for Minjeong at all. The famous Uchinaga Aeri with a normal student like Kim Minjeong? Of course it is something to gawk at. 

"Minjeongie! Aeri!" 

The two girls turned their heads to look at the person who called them. 

They saw the ever lively cheerleader Shin Yuna with the badass soccer player, and also her cousin, Shin Ryujin.

"What's up?" Ryujin greeted the short haired girl and wrapped her arm around the former's shoulder. 

"The sky." Minjeong deadpanned.

"Mrs. Kang was so scary earlier. Gosh, She gave us a 100 item quiz and told us to answer it in one hour. She's a terror!" Yuna complained as she hooked her arm around Aeri's.

"I bet she had a fight with our PE teacher again." Aeri laughed. They started walking again, with the other students gawking, of course.

"Why would she have a fight with Coach Seulgi?" Minjeong asked. 

"Haven't you heard? Coach Seulgi and Mrs. Irene Kang are married." Yuna said.

"Really?" Minjeong doesn't know that. She thought that Irene and Seulgi just have the same surname.

"You've been busy being in the library, that's why." Aeri teased.

"Bookworm." Ryujin added. 

Of all things, Minjeong is not a bookworm.

She reads books, but not often.

The library is just so quiet that she couldn't help but to go there.

And she's blaming the three for being so loud every damn time.
