The first trap
This is it. This is what she had been dreaming of. Park Jihyo had finally made it into one of the most famous university of Australia. She had dreamt about studying abroad ever since she was 12, and she aimed for Australia as soon as she heard about it.
She will be studying about psychology, which was not appreciate in Asia at the time. The girl went against her parents wills and the social prejudices.
------------
"Park Jihyo is it? Welcome to our school!" The young head master exclaimed as soon as she saw Jihyo peeping her head through the door after knocking.
Jihyo wasn't the type of person who gets nervous or shy, but she thought she should see how the head master was doing before meeting her for the first time.
She was stunned by how young the head master looked. Was she the same age as her?
"Greetings" The head master got up from her working desk
"You look young" Jihyo slipped out the words that were blocking her throat
"You aren't afraid of anything are you" the other girl laughed "That's what makes you so intriguing. Thanks for the compliments"
The head master got really close to Jihyo and held up her chin. Oh, you bet Jihyo got this game hyped up. She smirked and spoke in a provocative tone
"You're beautiful looking up close Miss-" she stopped to look at the name tag on the other's chest "Im Nayeon"
Miss Im laughed and held Jihyo face with both hands.
"A stray cat, I see! You will get along well with your roommates"
Miss Im pinched Jihyo's cheek. The young girl was stunned again as she wasn't expecting such a bold action.
"As much as I want to get to know you better, we have to get some works done" She said as she went to her table.
"You'll have to fill in this pile of paper here" she said as she place a huge chunk of paper on the table "Administrative procedures, you know that all too well"
All too well? Was this young woman going to start singing? Jihyo chuckled to herself and started filling in all the paperwork. Miss Im watched her as she do.
"You have really unique handwriting" she commented
"I guess that's because I used to write Korean"
"Hm? Your Korean handwriting must be cute. I would like a letter in Korean from you" Miss Im teased
"I'll write you a really sweet one" Jihyo teased right back at her
"Hehe, I'll be looking forward to it" Miss Im chuckled
It didn't take Jihyo long to finish the paperwork. After all, she knew what she was doing.
"Have you decided where to live yet?" Miss Im asked as she took the pile of paper from Jihyo
Oh, here came the trouble. This was the only thing she didn't prepared. It's not like she didn't know she had to take care of that, but she couldn't really choose a place or even a type of location that she wanted to live in.
Miss Im studied her expression while smiling from ear to ear. This was just what she needed
"You can consider living with a host family. We chose a family consist of two students from our school. They're also Korean like you. I'm sure you will get along well with them."
"That would be great. When can I meet them?" Jihyo smiled. My gosh, here's her life saver
"The younger one should be here by this time" Miss Im looked at her watch. It was an elegant one, with stones attached to the face of the clock. Is was sure expensive. Jihyo wasn't sure if a young head master could afford it. But she decided to not be nosey and mind her own business.
"Miss Im?" A voice came with a know on the other side of the door.
It was kind of a deep voice. Jihyo could here some leader-ish vibe in the voice. The voice was loud enough and very confident, giving the sign that you should trust them.
"Oh, he has arrived!" Miss Im said "Come in Namjoon"
So this one with this intriguing voice named Namjoon - Jihyo thought.
...Wait. A guy?? She's going to live with a stranger guy in a freaking same house??
Relax, maybe the other one is a girl. A pretty one - she attempt to calm herself
"Namjoon, I reckon you cane here to fetch the girl?" Miss Im teased, again
"I'm afraid the word 'fetch' is a bit off" he simply smiled at her and looked at Jihyo "You are the infamous Park Jihyo with sky high scores?"
"I'll take that as you knew my name is Park Jihyo" she said as the two reached out to shake each other hands.
"I'll show you around the school and then I'll take you to our house. You'll be staying with us for the time being" Namjoon said as they both walked out "Bye miss Im!"
"Goodbye miss Im" Jihyo said
"Goodbye you two, take care of each other well" Miss Im smiled widely, the kind of smile when people planing mischief.
----------------------------------
"I've searched for information about the school and learnt about it" Jihyo said "But I've never imagined it would be this beautiful"
"A picture is worth a thousand words" Namjoon said proudly
"Hm? You look prouder than you should be"
"Ah yes, my dad took part in designing the school. He is one of the shareholders"
Wow...Just wow. This is scary. Am I hanging out with that kind of rich and famous guy? Are girls going to call me out? - Jihyo thought. She hated troubles. She would try to avoid them at all costs.
"There's something I need to know before we keep on going" Jihyo stopped to face him.
"Why do I feel like I'm going to receive some nagging?" Namjoon laughed and looked at the girl.
Jihyo was small. She was an angry little bean, and somehow that silhouette of her made him wanted to be nagged. He thought he should tease he her a little bit. He put his hand on her head, which made her pout.
"Hey, I'm asking you something serious. It's going to affect my well being here" she swiped his hand away
"Okay, keep talking" he smiled, again. Didn't he know that his dimples looks so damn hot?
"Do you have any fans?" Jihyo asked
"Fans as in the device to keep you cool in summer? Of course we do" Namjoon said surprisingly
"No no no" Jihyo shaked her head and got closer, due to the anxiousness. "Fans as in crazy human beings who will attack anyone gets close to you"
Namjoon laughed and put his hand on her head, again.
"We're all decent human beings here. No one is that toxic. You'll be fine."
"That's great" Jihyo said as she removed his hand
"But in case you're curious, I believe that I'm quite well known around the school, although I don't have that much of a 'chemistry' with girls"
"Hm? Really?" Jihyo smirked. She wouldn't buy it. She didn't believe this pretty hunk of a man here didn't have girls wrapping around his finger.
"You doubt it? So you think I'm attractive? I prefer the term 'charming' if you're going to compliment me" Namjoon winked at her
"Tsk, as if" Jihyo slapped his arm
He laughed. He loved teasing the little girl.
"That's pretty much the whole school. Would you like to know anything else?"
"Hmm..." Jihyo scanned her papers "Nope, I've got everything clear"
"Wanna get something to drink before going home?" Namjoon asked
"Sure!" Jihyo nodded. She would love to try Australian drinks
--------------------------------------
"You're not gonna believe how good this place is" Namjoon said as he escorted the girl into a cafe.
The place looked simple but elegant, decorated with small bonsai trees here and there. The lights were soft on the eye and the template for the walls and furniture was comforting. The soft aroma of the coffee was swirling around the place.
"This place is lovely" Jihyo complimented
"I know only the best of the bests" Namjoon said
"Kim Namjoon? Today isn't you shift" A man approached him, he looked like the manager
He tilted his head to see a surprised Jihyo, who was sitting on the small armchair that Namjoon hurriedly pushed her to
"Ohh I see. Sorry, I thought you were somewhat familiar" The manager switched to "the professional manager" mode
But Jihyo saw through it all
"You work here?" Jihyo asked Namjoon
"Oops... Sorry Namjoon" the manager whisperer and went on his way to the other table
"Yeah, I work here. Remember to promote the place to your friends after tasting the drinks" Namjoon winked
"I'll promote it as long as it's good enough" Jihyo smiled
Namjoon stopped to look at the girl. Jihyo smiled innocently at him and said "What? Shouldn't you start to take the orders? I need to try out my favourite kind of drink!"
"You're really different" Namjoon patted the girl's head
"Not again! Are you implying that I'm too short?"
Namjoon chuckled and answered "Yes, small bean"
"Excuse me!"
"What do you want to drink?"
"Don't you change the subject!"
Namjoon opened a menu and put in on her lap. "Look at these drinks!" He advertised
"... You're lucky enough" Jihyo glared at him and looked through the menu "I take a cup of moschino and this cake"
"Nice choice! It should be done in no more than 5 minutes!"
"It'll be that fast? The place looks crowded" Jihyo said
"Not when I'm the one who takes care of your orders" Namjoon said "I called my brother, he'll be here in a minute. He'll accompany you while I make your drink. Oh there he is! Yoongi!" Namjoon called the black silhouette.
The person who was covered in black paced over to them. The guy was rather short comparing to Namjoon.
"The same as always?" Namjoon asked as soon as Yoongi sat down
Yoongi nodded and took a quick glance at Jihyo. "Get some of those candies too" he added
"Sure!" Namjoon nodded and hurriedly walked to the kitchen.
"Hi! I'm Park Jihyo" She introduced. She felt like if she doesn't start the conversation now, no one is going to say anything until Namjoon came back
"You'll be living with us?"
"Uhhh..." She trailed off.
So the other one isn't a girl? What am I going to do? Why did I even agree??? I should have noticed that naughty smile of miss Im! - Jihyo regretfully thought
Yoongi wasn't bothered by her hesitation, he pulled out his phone and earphones, started doing some kind of business on his phone.
This man didn't give a damn. It was quite annoying how he didn't help her feel less awkward. She would have to put up with this guy until she found a new place to live. Well, at least Namjoon was nice enough.
The next 5 minutes were still awkward as hell. Jihyo was praying for Namjoon to appear. And answered to her prayers was Namjoon, showing up with drinks and sweets in his trays. Jihyo stood up and help him with the drinks just so she can get rid of this annoying feeling.
"You both look..." Namjoon just couldn't find the right word to describe the situation. It was rather fun to him, but he would be killed in his bed that night if he said that out loud.
"Jihyo" Yoongi called her and tossed her some candies that he ordered earlier. "Try it"
"Hm? It... not poisonous... is it?" Jihyo felt unsure about his sudden kindness.
Yoongi looked at Jihyo, obviously irritated.
"They are made according to his recipe. Try it" Namjoon encouraged her
Jihyo tear the plastic cover and studied the candy. The candy and the cover is as different as chalk and cheese.
"You didn't design this cover did you?" Jihyo held up the cover. It was bright pink with glitters and stars as its decorations.
Yoongi cringed at the sight of the little piece of plastic.
"I've always hated that pinkish shi-"
"Miss Im designed it" Namjoon cut off his words with an apologetic laugh
"No wonder" Jihyo took a glance at the cover for the last time before placing it in the middle of her note
"You like it that much?" Yoongi squinted his eyes at her
"It's cute" Jihyo answered simply and tossed the candy into her mouth.
------------------------------

A. First impression is important, ya know
B. He wanted to promote his creation
C. He wanted her to agree with him that the design was bad
D. Love at first sight ~~~
