When Seo Changbin first met Kang Sunhee he decided she was an anomaly.

See, he would have never expected her to become such a big part of his life.

Months before he’d even joined JYPE she’d shown up at Bora High School. A downright determined girl who introduced herself as a transfer and was done with it. He’d actually thought she was from Jeolla-Do or somewhere more southwest for a while, her dialect evident and pretty ingrained in her speech. Imagine his shock when he’d learnt she was from Australia.

Rumours buzzed around for a while, she was on the run from the Australian mob or ran away from home. But the conclusion was that she had to be a trainee, which of course peaked his interest. The talent show in her first year was of particular note when some other girls had roped her into performing a Twice song with them. It was clear she’d learnt dance from some kind of professional.

But that was that. Sunhee was (probably) an idol trainee at their school that greeted people in halls but didn’t stick around for conversations. Who’d snagged the top spot in English from the grade’s try-hard (much to the cohort’s delight) and barely showed up for class.

He’d spoken to her once or twice, got stuck as deskmates for a week because their teacher insisted on everyone rotating weekly- ‘to better converse with your peers’ he’d claim.

They’d sat and Sunhee kept a Hangul alphabet chart taped to her desk (which she’d peeled off at the week’s end). It was an odd few days, because Changbin found himself excelling in English, with her muttering the answers under her breath with expert pronunciation but not taking the initiative to raise her hand. He didn’t take credit of course, but with sentences and grammar written in perfect script next to him, it was much easier to understand.

He’d made an effort that week, to perfect the lines of his own hangul and write extra neat rather than his typical scrawl, and to answer whichever questions the teacher posed that seemed to throw her off kilter.

It was odd because they didn’t speak, but for those brief five days- only three of which Sunhee actually appeared for, Changbin found that less time was spent staring at the clock but rather with straight pen strokes and neat notes that he knew Sunhee wouldn’t have gotten from the chalkboard fast enough, taking his arm off the page so she could pretend not to copy his notes and he could pretend not to notice.

He really didn’t understand her, because as far as conversation went, she’d introduced herself when they’d first sat down and simply smiled with a hello and goodbye when the bell marked each period’s start and end. She was an anomaly, one he couldn't care to explore further, simply content to acknowledge and move on from.

But eventually the tide had to shift, and it did. When Changbin was accepted into JYP Entertainment.

Seo Changbin had practically been adopted by Jisung the second he was past orientation, the kid- who was actually a year younger than Changbin, was a bubbling ball of positivity and arrogance. How he managed to mix those two so well would be forever a mystery, but his heart-shaped smile and bunched up cheeks more than made up for the occasional cocky smirk.

The integration to trainee life was a bumpy one. It was all he’d ever wanted but of course his sleep schedule was something he’d had to adjust (sacrifices could be made), and so was his volume when returning home late at night- his mother made that much clear. But something he’d embraced with open arms was the opportunity to share his ideas. Jisung, who’d dragged Changbin around the first two weeks as a ‘promising rapper’ also came with a secondary attachment, Bang Chan.

A trainee of nearly six years and probably the kindest teenager Changbin had ever met, Chan was slowly becoming his favourite part of the company. Admittedly a few of the other new trainees were terrified of him, but Changbin was never one to back down easily.

The pair spoke fondly of other trainees that Chaginbin was less acquainted with (there were so many of them). But the names that seemed to pop up often were: Lilly- who Chan explained was another international trainee, and Jeongin, who was supposedly at school. Jisung always spoke of his ‘noona’ too and each mention came with Chan giving his side a gentle elbow or kick and muttering ‘she said not to call her that’ to which Jisung would always reply ‘Isn’t that the point?’

It was two weeks into his traineeship that Changbin finally met the mysterious ‘noona’.

He hadn’t been to school that day, instead spending it in lessons for some group dance with other trainees that had passed the recent auditions. And as the afternoon trailed on and he was given an hour of reprieve before a vocal lesson, he found himself in the cafe with Chan and Jisung.

Trainees were given cards- well points more specifically, that just so happened to be stored on cards, to use in the JYPE cafeteria. Jisung pays for Chan- who claimed he was ‘saving his’, why Changbin didn’t quite understand- the company was pretty liberal with their alliances and Chan should have had plenty.

And it’s only when they’ve been seated for a good fifteen minutes does Changbin startle suddenly aware of the fourth chair at their table- now occupied by a school bag. It’s boxy, made from yellow canvas that’s bright, but was probably a bit brighter a few years ago. A few keychains dangle off it, a set of beads and charms in a striking red- the main feature being a small strawberry, and another that bore the tiniest little raccoon that he’s pretty sure was a dirt cheap novelty found in most gotcha machines. And It confused Changbin because he’d seen it before- he’d heard those annoying red and pink beads clash together, jostled with movement and noted the crappy paint job of the cheap raccoon before. He was so damned sure.

Wordlessly, Chan held up his card, the one for the cafeteria that had his points on it and the little slip of plastic was taken from his outstretched hand with deft fighters. Changbin watched curiously as someone with a school uniform- his school uniform, retrates to the cafe counter.

And as she ordered, sliping the card over for the barcode to scan, he realised that It was Kang Sunhee. Who spent her lunch times sitting with a nice but boring group of girls, not talking to them. Who needed an alphabet chart taped to her desk but achieved a 100 on their last English Exam, who got solid 80’s in maths without batting an eye and only showed up half the time and smiled her way down hallways without putting effort into small talk. Who the cohort had decided must have been a trainee at some small company- because surely she’d make a big deal out of being at a well known company.

“They don’t give the female trainees as many meal points.” Jisung said through a mouthful of noodles, noticing Changbin’s confusion. “Noona’s supposed to be on a diet so they took all hers away. But Chan-hyung saves his up because the company gives him so many.”

And soon enough, Sunhee was back, shrugging off the blazer to drape it across the chair and using one hand to loosen the tie that secured the white dress shirt around the column of her neck It’s only when she nudged her backpack to the ground, not caring as fell down with a dull thud, keychains cluttering as it did, that she noticed him.

“Oh- Changbin-ssi?” Sunhee cocked her head to the side, the same way she did when assessing a question in a textbook that she didn’t quite get. Like he was something out of place, or a line from their poetry unit that she just couldn’t wrap her head around.

“You know each other?” Jisung asked, again muffled by the food in his mouth. Chan’s also looking up from his phone, just with his eyes but the curiosity is evident.

“Yeah.” She replied. Still frowning, but moving to sit anyway. “I got to his school.”

His school. Because it was just that, It wasn’t her school. All Sunhee did was read the passages in English to show off and grace the halls a few days a week, she ate her lunches with little to no interest in those she sat with and hardly cared for the gossip left in her wake.

“Huh.” Chan said, stealing a piece of Tteok-bokki for the small portion on Jisung’s tray- having already finished his own. “Well that’s fun.”

“I didn’t know you were accepted by JYPE.” Sunhee said casually, snapping the wooden chopsticks apart, digging her short nails between one end and pulling apart with a quick tug. They split right down the middle.

“Really- The school filmed a video about it and everything. Most students know.”

‘I guess I don’t really pay much attention, do I.” It’s a cheeky poke, and it makes Jisung huff a laugh over his food- an inside joke maybe.

Changbin’s tray was empty, the chopsticks snapped, ugly and off centre, a chunk of the join attached to the left chopstick. His eyes only flickered away from her once or twice while she spoke. Because his mother had raised him to be polite, to hold eye contact and listen attentively.

But this was probably the longest conversation he’d had with her. And wasn’t that just miserable.

He’d been looking forward to meeting her. It was clear she had some kind of kinship with the other two at the table, and Chan- who eats like a machine (upwards of two rice bowls with every meal) sacrifices his meal points for her. And Jisung speaks of her like she hung the stars, that his ‘noona’ was the most amazing person in the company (short of himself of course, because Jisung came with a sense of cockynes that simply will not disappear).

She doesn't seem off put by his presence, just… impartial. And well, that was it. They ate. Chan asked Sunhee about her day at school and Jisung recounted everything that happened in his. Changbin sits and listens offering his own piece from time to time: little comments about the rap lesson he and Jisung had earlier or off handed complaints about his and Sunhee’s homeroom teacher.

Then he moves on with his day and that was life.

But the next day he saw her at school, the Monday of the following week, Changbin made a decision. He hadn’t even seen her in the classroom but ended up startled by her distinct accent reading out the English passage- it’s some borning diary entry, that is supposed to have four mistakes in it for them to circle.

He finds it easy because when he watches her read it, each mistake- like the use of the clunky phrase ‘less than before’ comes with a head tilt, the same way she peers at textbook questions and Changbin when she spots him in the practice room or company hallways.

After that class, when students make their way out of the classroom, ducking their head to the teacher as they walk past, giving ‘goodbye’s in English as the teacher always asked them to. She’s awkwardly straightening the sides of her blazer under her bag straps, pink beads and charms clicking together with the movements.

“Sunhee-ssi,” She turned to him, pausing her steps. She answered with nothing more than a hum, the same way she did when entertaining Jisung’s rants. “Would you like to sit with me for lunch?”

It’s an odd feeling as they walk together, chatting about nothing more than school or the vending machine snacks at their company. She tells him she moved from Australia but enrolled in school as it was her family’s only condition. He in return told her that his parents were happy he’d made it into JYPE- that his older sister won’t stop teasing him about it.

They’re shallow topics really, but that was okay. And as she sits down, introducing herself to the five other boys Changbin spent his school days with, it’s simple. Nothing really to it.

She melds with them well, contributing to the piss-taking that is their normal and complaining about Literature- her worst subject, with the group.

Seo Changbin doesn’t understand her. Kang Sunhee is an anomaly but he is happy to sit and chat with her at lunch times, conversation flowing with ease- much to the shock of his friends who continue to shoot curious glances.

But he thinks that maybe understanding her could wait for a later date, for now, he was happy to simply exist, adjusting to his new lifestyle and the people that came with it.
