Sunshine // Eunchae X F4 Thailand// ~Chapter 5~

Eunchae

I climbed up the stairs of the school entrance, holding my middle sized, babypink colored Lady Dior in my right hand, matching it with some pink and white sneakers of the same brand. The babypink cardigan along with the white mini skirt I was wearing were both of my brother’s brand.

Heading towards my locker alone as Chaewon had to attend an important shooting, I saw F4 sitting at their chill area, the boy with the glasses recognizing me and smiling at me. Thinking about joining them but later shrugging that thought off as the animal printed guy made it clear that he didn’t like me, I opened my locker. Taking out the books for my first class, I quickly turned around when hearing a female voice behind me.

“Excuse me, but I think you lost this”, the girl from the flower shop yesterday stood in front of me and held out my Tiffany Hardwear pearl bracelet for me to take.

“Thank you!”, I smiled receiving it but that quickly faded when I saw that it was broken, probably the cause of me loosing it.

“Do you need help fixing it?”, she looked at me.

“No thank you.”, I answered, not so keen on somebody taking my friendship bracelet I got from Chaewon.

“You’re Gorya, right?”, I grinned happy that I remembered her name, but seeing her muster me the same like yesterday, before looking up and answering me.

“Yeah, that’s me!”, her face held the same expression as mine. 

I was about to speak again when the bell started to ring, indicating that lessons would start soon.

“I have to go now. See you!”, I smiled and quickly closed my locker and put my bracelet into my bag before heading to my classroom

Almost reaching the door of it, I hissed when a male body collided with mine making me fall onto the floor and drop my bag. A sharp pain could be felt in my chest at which I quickly clutched my hand onto, hoping it would go away.

“Are you ok?”

I looked up to see three of the F4 boys standing in front of me, the one who only mustered me yesterday probably being also the one, who bumped into me as he held out my bag for me to take.

I nodded, trying my best to hide the pain and control my breathing while standing up. Feeling a little dizzy but still not letting it show, I flashed a short smile and apology before taking my bag and heading towards the restroom, the dark haired boy and the one with the glasses only mustering me.

The door closing, I quickly took the small pill box out of my Lady Dior, gulping one of the tablets down and drinking a gulp of water afterwards. I sighed, knowing that that was the third pill of that day as I already took the other two in the morning. My doctor said I should only take additional tablets if it was really necessary, for example in a situation like this, but I should try to avoid it as good as possible.

Putting the box back in my bag, I quickly washed my hands before heading towards the classroom, hoping the teacher wouldn’t be mad that I was late to her lesson.

I sighed seeing the boring cafeteria food on the plate in front of me, which was placed on the desk I was sitting at. No Chaewon was here today to treat me with cookies or my favorite packet drink, making me a little sad. Only poking my food as I was not really hungry when seeing that it was only some bland pork with a few potatoes, I sighed again.

A sudden act of someone sitting down on the chair in front of me made me look up, stopping to stab the poor pork. A smile lit up on my face when I recognized him as the boy with glasses from F4. Trying to continue making new friends, I already forgot about the bullying thing that Chaewon told me about.

“Hi!”, I smiled laying down my fork next to my plate.

“Hi. Where’s your friend?”, he smiled back as everything went silent, the other students staring at us, making me look around and wonder why they were interested in our conversation so suddenly.

I quickly clutched my bag, seeing a few girls glaring at me, making me feel a little unsure about how to act. I wasn’t very used to getting this much attention as I never went to a school or had or other friends than Chaewon before. Nobody was really interested in me as no one knew who I even was.

“You wanna come to the chill area? Don’t worry, Thyme’s not here today”, he offered, noticing my discomfort due to the attention of all the others present in the cafeteria.

I quickly nodded, glad that he asked me. The smile on my lips returning again, I happily skipped up the staircase, forgetting about all the others and only having one thing in mind. Finally having more company. I couldn’t wait to make new friends, happy that I finally had the chance to.

“Hi!”, I plopped myself onto the couch next to the dark haired boy, who sent me a small smile before taking a small glance at the boy with the glasses.

“Don’t worry, Thyme sent me a message saying that he wouldn’t make it in time for lunch anymore”, the glasses boy sat down on one of the couches too, the other two nodding.

“Eunchae, right?”, the boy I bumped into in the morning called out to me at which I nodded.

“Sorry because of bumping into you, are you okay now?”, he worriedly looked at me, probably having noticed my pain and problems to breathe after our collision.

“Yeah, thank you”

“From where are you? Eunchae is not a Thai name”, the dark haired boy exclaimed.

“I’m from Seoul in South Korea!”, I smiled, remembering my home town where I and Chaewon both grew up along with my two brothers.

They all seemed interested in knowing more, so we talked about South Korea for a while and they introduced themselves afterwards as MJ, Kavin and Ren to me, when I suddenly noticed a few packet drinks standing on the big couch desk in front of me. A wave of happiness rushed through my body seeing a peach being printed onto one of the packets, indicating that it was a peach flavored drink. My favorite one.

“You want one?”, Ren asked, making me look up.

Deciding whether I should just lie as we weren’t that close and I didn’t want to take their stuff away or just say the truth, Kavin already put the straw in one of the packets and passed it to me.

“Thank you!”, I started drinking it, happy that I still got my drink even though Chaewon wasn’t there today.

They continued to talk about something while I enjoyed my packet drink, listening to their conversation when suddenly some steps could be heard, indicating that someone walked up the stairs. Not worrying about it, I continued finishing my drink, but turned around when I heard a male voice and saw the shock on the other’s faces.

“My packet drink!”
