___________________________
Lia woke up excited for her first day at school. She brushed her hair and got dressed.
Lia (to herself): I’m so excited for today! 😆✨
Mom: Lia, come down for breakfast.
Lia: Coming, Mom!
(After Lia went downstairs)
Lia: Good morning, Mom! Good morning, Dad!
Both parents: Good morning, dear.
Mom: Come eat your breakfast.
Lia (leaving the house): No time, Mom! Bye!
Mom: Ugh, that little troublemaker...
Dad: It’s okay. She’s just excited for today.
At School
While walking to school, Lia bumped into a boy who was holding his phone.
His phone fell.
Lia: Oh my god! I’m really sorry!
Boy: Are you blind? Can’t you look where you’re going? Huh?
Lia: I... I said I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it.
Boy: Next time, be careful, or I’ll teach you a lesson.
Lia (nodding quickly): Okay, I won’t do it again.
Lia: Wow, the school is so big! 😍
Two girls approached Lia.
Girl 1: So, this is the new girl, huh?
Girl 2: Eww, she’s so ugly.
The first girl pushed Lia against the wall.
Girl 1: Give me what you have.
Lia: I... I don’t have anything!
The girl was about to slap Lia, but suddenly, a backpack hit her face. 🎒
Mysterious Girl: Take your filthy hands off her. NOW.
Girl 1 (scared): I-I’m really sorry! I’ll leave now!
Mysterious Girl: That’s how you deal with them.
Lia: Thank you so much for saving me! 😊
Mysterious Girl: No problem. What’s your name?
Lia: I’m Kim Lia.
Mysterious Girl: Nice to meet you! I’m Jang Yunhee.
Lia: Nice to meet you too!
Yunhee: Which class are you in?
Lia: Oh, I’m new here, so I don’t know where it is...
Yunhee: Do you know your section?
Lia: Yeah, it’s ****.
Yunhee: Great! That’s my class too!
In Class
Teacher: Alright, class, we have a new student joining us today. Please, come in!
Lia walked in with a bright smile, looking as beautiful as an angel. Everyone smiled at her.
Teacher: Introduce yourself.
Lia: Hello! My name is Kim Lia, I’m 17 years old, and I hope you all welcome me. Thank you! 😊💗
Class: Welcome to our school!
Teacher: Go sit in front of Xiao.
Xiao looked up at Lia, and their eyes widened in shock when they recognized each other.
Both (at the same time): You...?!
Teacher: Alright, go ahead and sit down.
Lia (nervously): Thank you, sir...
Lia walked to her seat next to Xiao.
Xiao: You walked right into my trap, sweetheart.
Lia: W-What?! I already apologized!
Xiao smirked.
Xiao: Oh, sure. Of course.
Lia suddenly heard a voice behind her and turned around.
Yunhee: Hey, Lia! It’s me, Yunhee!
Lia (whispering): Oh, hi!
Teacher: Lia! Why are you turning around during class?!
Lia: Oh! I’m sorry, sir! I didn’t mean to!
Teacher: As a small punishment, you’ll go to detention.
Lia: But...
Teacher: No buts! 😡
Lia: Fine...
In Detention
Lia: Ugh, this is so boring!
Lia stayed in detention for a while, but then someone entered.
???: Oh, hey! I didn’t want to leave you all alone.
Lia: Xiao?! What are you doing here?!
Xiao: Why are you scared, little one?
Lia: I-I’m not scared!
Xiao: Oh yeah, sure. That’s totally convincing.
Xiao slowly stepped closer and closer to Lia until she was backed against the wall. He looked at her with a mischievous smile.
Xiao: What should I do now, hmm?
Lia: P-Please, listen... Just let me go, and you’ll never see me again. O-Okay?
Xiao: No way. That wouldn’t be fun.
Lia: Why are you doing this?
Xiao: Oh, sweetheart, you must be new here. You don’t know who I am.
Lia: W-Who are you?
Xiao: I’m Jang Xiao, son of Jang Hyung. When I say something, everyone listens.
Lia: Jang H-Hyung?!
Xiao: That’s right.
Lia: He’s my dad’s business partner!
Xiao: So what? Like I said, when I speak, people obey.
Lia: O-Okay, okay, I’m sorry. But please, you’re too close. Step back.
Xiao leaned in even closer.
Xiao: Why, sweetheart? Are you scared I might kiss you? Don’t worry, I won’t. I don’t want to dirty my lips with yours.
Lia: W-WHAT?!
Xiao let go of Lia and walked out as the detention period ended.
Lia (thinking): That idiot! Ugh! If I could, I’d punch him!
Lia left detention and ran into Yunhee at the door.
Yunhee: So, Lia, can we be friends?
Lia: Oh, of course!
Yunhee: Do you remember the boy you sat next to in class?
Lia: Yeah, what about him?
Yunhee: He’s the biggest bully in this school. Everyone is afraid of him. Please, don’t mess with him. You’re my friend now.
Lia: Oh my god! Does he bully you too?
Yunhee: No, actually, he protects me. No one dares say anything to me. He’d kill them, like that girl from earlier.
Lia: Oh... so, are you his girlfriend?
Yunhee: NO! I’m his sister! Didn’t you notice our last names?!
Lia: Oh, right! But why don’t you stop him from bullying people?
Yunhee: I can’t. He’s my older brother.
Lia: Oh... okay, I’ll just stay away from him then.
Yunhee: Anyway, can I have your number so we can talk?
Lia: Sure! Here, save it: **********
Yunhee: Got it! I’ll text you when I get home.
Lia: Okay! Bye! 👋🏻
At Home
Lia: Mom, Dad, I’m back!
Mom: Welcome home, sweetheart!
Lia: Where’s Dad?
Mom: He went out to meet a friend.
Lia: Okay, then. I’ll go change my clothes.
Mom: Alright, I’ll wait for you! 😊
Mother: Lyaa, where are you?
Lia: Coming, mom! I was just changing my clothes.

Lia: Alright, let’s go.
{After leaving the house}
Rosa: Come on, get in.

Rosa: What…!! His son?!
Lia: Yeah.
Rosa: Is he nice? Handsome?
Lia: I don’t know, I didn’t talk to him. But he’s really good-looking and the most popular guy in school.
Rosa: You idiot! Why didn’t you talk to him?!
Lia: Why are you so interested in him?!
Rosa (nervously): N-n-no! I-I was just a-asking… 😳

{After arriving}
[Doorbell rings]

Rosa’s boyfriend: I missed you too, my love. Where’s your sister?
Rosa: She’s coming; she’s looking for her phone charger.

Hua: Brother, come on, Rosa's sister is here
Boy: I'm coming
{After Hua's brother comes down}
(Hua's brother looked at Lia and Lia the same way and were shocked to see each other)
Both together: You (me) again...
Rosa: Hey, do you know him?
Hua: Do you know her, Siao?
Xiao nervously smiled: Ah yes, she's my classmate.
Rosa: Ah, this is your classmate that you called handsome. Of course I agree.
Lia: What did I say? Haha.
Xiao smiled slyly and said: Your friend Yunhee isn't here.
Lia: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that my sister's boyfriend was her brother.
Hugh: Go get to know Lia better.
Xiao: Okay, I'll take her to my room to sit.
Lia: What...?
Rosa: Okay, let's go.
Lia: Hhhhhhhhhh 😅
Xiao: Follow me.
{In Xiao's room}
Xiao: Oh my god, this time you came to my house on your own two feet.
Lia, scared and nervous: I swear, I didn't know that you were my sister's boyfriend's brother.
Xiao: I didn't know either.
(Xiao started to move closer to Lia until she was against the wall, and he looked at her slyly.)
Xiao: What? Why are you scared...??
Leah: Whaaaat, you're so close to me, move away.
(Xiao moved closer to Leah until their breaths mingled)
Xiao: Your lips are sexy and they also look lonely.
Lia: Mmm... What...?
Xiao: One kiss is okay, it won't make any difference.
Lia: But...
(Xiao interrupted her with a hot and gentle kiss. He continued kissing Leah until she was about to run out of breath. He broke the kiss so Leah could catch her breath, and she was about to suffocate.)
Lia, catching her breath: Lll... why did you kiss me?
Xiao: Honestly, your lips are so delicious, and I still want one more. Your lips are so delicious. I take back what I said, they're disgusting.
Lia: Whaaaat, you...
(He interrupted him while kissing her again.)
Lia: Stop it.
Xiao: I'll ask you a question, answer honestly, and I'll leave you.
Lia: N... Yes, what's the question...?!
Xiao: Is what your sister said true?
Lea: What?
Lea: I'm handsome
Lea: What and why would I say that?
Lea: Come on, answer honestly.
Lea: Okay, I said it.
Lea: You have a really sexy body, Lea, and I wouldn't mind if you did something even sexier.
Lea: I have to go.
(Lea left the room and went downstairs to her sister and her boyfriend.)
Rosa: What's up, Lea?
Lea: I was just looking for the bathroom.
Hugh: Oh, tell Xiao to show you around. Xiao, where are you?
Xiao: Oh, I'm here.
Hugh: Take Lia to the bathroom.
Siao: Okay, follow me, Lia.
(Liah followed Xiao)
Siao: We've arrived.
Liao: Thank you.
Siao: No need, little one.
(At 1:00 PM)
Rosa: Okay, my dear, we have to go. We're late.
Liao: Bye, nice to meet you, Hugh.
Hugh: Me too, sweetie. Bye.
(In the car)
Liao: Oh, finally.
Rosa: Why? What happened?
Liao: Umm, nothing, just boredom.
Rosa: Okay.
(At home)
Mom: You two brats, I was late. Where were you?
Rosa: At my lover's house.
Mom: What, and today?
Liao: Sorry, Mom.
Dad: Okay, get ready now. The guests will be here at 3:00.
Liao: Okay, Dad.
(Elsewhere)
Hugh: So, did you get to know Lia?
Siao: Yes, she was with me. Indeed.
Hugh: Did you tell her we're getting engaged today?
Xiao: No, I couldn't.
Hugh: It's okay, anyway. So what did you do?
Xiao: We...
Hugh: What...?
Xiao: I kissed her.
Hugh: You pervert, you're going to marry her anyway.
Hugh: Yes, but that's just for the business deal.
Hugh: Yes, yes.
Hugh: But trust me, bro, her lips are so sexy, and even her body.
Hugh: Yes, she's beautiful. I saw that.
Hugh: Really, even though you're with her, I won't marry her because I love her, but I'll have a lot of fun.
Hugh: Oh, no, what are you thinking, you pervert?
Hugh: Nothing.
Hugh: I hope so, and don't act rashly before marriage.
Hugh: You say that like I'm young.
Hugh: I'm still young, you're 19.
Hugh: No, I'm old now. I'm already of legal age.
Hugh: I know, but she's still young, she's only 17.
Hugh: Come on, don't worry.
(And with the girls)
After you get ready
{And with the girls}
Mother: You look really beautiful
Lea: Thank you mom
Rosa: Yes, I know that
And they laughed lightly
Father: Lea, where are you?
Lea: Coming, dad
