A/N: intended to be a jpop fic but changed my mind… ^^;
Achie means - eldest sister
We started as friends, but something happened inside me
Being the new student in a far away country is something Ryeowook never wanted to experience. Why move at such an untimely schedule? She hesitantly stepped into the building dressed in her plain street clothes.
“Good Morning Ms. Kim, I believe it’s your first day.”
Ryeowook nodded as she looked at the smiling Canadian school directress.
“it’s not easy to adjust in a foreign land, so I would want to help you fit in with the rest. As you can see this is an international school, races are disregarded. We have students from all over the world, most of them are migrants just like you.”
A knock was heard and a young Chinese lad entered the room.
“Great timing, this is Mr. Lau, and he’ll be your partner for the rest of the school year. I think he’ll be able to help you adjust to your new environment.”
The two stepped out of the room and Ryeowook sighed: great, being stuck with a partner that would never understand her…
“I’m Henry, I’m Chinese Canadian. I know Mandarin and a little Hangul.. I’m not gonna bite”
Henry smiled which made his eyes disappear and extended a hand. Ryeowook stared at him for a second before absently shaking his hand: this Henry guy is pretty cute!
“oh.. I’m Kim Ryeowook, well my English name is… “
Ryeowook searched for her passport and looked for her name.
“ahh.. It’s Natalie.”
“wow.. very nice name.. Natalie..”
“can you call me by my Korean nickname.. I’m more comfortable with it.”
“so.. what is your Korean nickname?”
“wookie.. my unnis call me that since I bake cookies..”
“oh really.. well you should love cooking class which will be our first class today.. so you should hurry and change into these.”
Henry handed Ryeowook her uniform. A few minutes later, Ryeowook emerged from the washroom wearing the short pleated skirt, white blouse with vest, knee high socks and black leather shoes. Henry’s jaws dropped as Ryeowook approached her.
“Henry are you ok?”
“yeah.. just that.. you look really pretty..”
Ryeowook blushed hard.
“you’re the second guy to say that aside from my dad”
“really?!”
“uhmm, the first one was Yesung, my crush back in Korea”
Ryeowook happily said as she skipped her way to class, Henry can’t explain it but he felt hurt but she said was, so chance?!?!
Now I’m reading into everything, but there’s no sign to hear the lightning baby
“I don’t get it.. cheerleaders are like…”
“bitches..”
“watch your mouth Henry Lau!”
“and you remembered my name..”
“you’re my partner..”
The two laughed as they approach their lockers. It’s been a week and Ryeowook had pretty much adapted to her new environment.
“seriously.. how can guys fall for those..”
Ryeowook paused as she hesitates for a minute.
“bitches”
Henry smiled as he searched for something in his bag.
“Well it’s the same for you girls, you fall for hunky jerks called jocks right?”
“we do not!”
Ryeowook protested as she place one of her hand on her hip and pouted. Henry laughed sarcastically as he placed a purple headband on Ryeowook.
“I know.. here, since I noticed your bangs keep on irritating you.. you like purple right?”
Ryeowook smiled cutely and hugged the partner.
“thank you.. ahh this is so cute “
“no problem..”
“how’d you know I love purple?”
Henry panicked since well.. how can he say that he stalked Ryeowook on facebook to know all about her.
“uhmm.. I noticed most of your stuff is purple..”
Henry lied.
“ah.. yeah.. I do..”
Henry sighed in relief.
You don’t even notice me, turning on my charm
What rhymes with cookies?
If it was something Ryeowook was comfortable with, it’s cooking class. She was always on top and a lot of the other girls envy her. Since all the guys were gathered around her to taste whatever she cooks: from pastries to entrees, soups to stir fry.
Ryeowook would dazzle every eye even as simple as whisking some eggs. Or that time the guys fainted when Ryeowook smiled as she tasted her chicken noodle soup. Guys and even girls would do anything to taste her cooking but none of them is lucky enough like Henry.
“Henry.. do you think this custard is too sweet?”
Ryeowook would ask him quite often, for opinions, sometimes random things and Henry would always have the first taste of whatever Ryeowook prepares.
“nope.. it’s perfect.. just like you..”
It’s a little cheesy, I know but Ryeowook takes it as a compliment just like what every other guy in class says.. Henry is just another guy right?
Or wonder why I’m always where you are
Every day is a same routine: they go to class, attend meetings then go home.
However it became a big question for their friends when they noticed that the two are inseparable: ok, going on the same class is fine; they’re classmates, but even the extracurricular?
Going on the same club is too much. Well it’s not their fault that they were both musically inclined: Ryeowook on piano and Henry on violin.
And so come talents night, it’s no wonder they were paired for their performance; it was a match made in Beethoven’s symphony.
When you ask were Ryeowook is.. People will answer look for Henry; or the other way around.
And people can’t explain the fact that Henry goes to the library and since when?!?! Since he met Ryeowook.
Since when Ryeowook liked video games?! Since she met Henry.
It’s just that everywhere people look, when you see Henry.. you see Ryeowook.
