Sophomore in freshman year.

"When did you start going to the painters club class. I am not sure this is my friend Dan-Bi,... painters club?" Disbelief is clearly visible on No-Eul's face.

"Today,... I decided to take things more seriously one more time..., why are you looking at me like that? I am also a normal student like everyone, even though I wasn't as serious as other students, it's not too late to start now."

"Also the counselor advised me to take everything seriously from now on, if I wish to graduate with a good grade. Your grades are the best but mine are not worth speaking of. " Thankfully she had used this same excuse once and it worked so it's believable now too.

"The last time it was cheerleading. Why?, Are you quitting now?, Dan-Bi ?."

"Am not sure yet, but I am serious about painting now." Dan-Bi looked so serious. 'if he is not in the school team then who am I cheering for, only if he is in the school team will I not quit cheerleading.'

"So you are bailing out, you wouldn't be accompanying me home again?, Ehn?."

"That's right, I am sorry I will find another time, I need to go."

"Have a nice day, Bestie!" Dan-Bi said as she escapes. Dae No-Eul could not believe what is happening. ' This Dan-Bi, I never thought she would be like this, it's great, but unbelievable.'

No-Eul shrugged and left while Dan-Bi rushed to the art studio. Upon arrival, she met Yo-Han who is also about to enter. Both of them entered and sat next to each other.

The Coordinator started by introducing himself. "Welcome to another session of art exploration. I am Mr Yuan and I will be coordinating this class along side Ms. Kyung. I would like the fresh bloods in the building to introduce themselves."

When it was Yo-han's turn he stood up gently and introduced himself to the house. Even though they all know who he is.

"I am Park Yo-Han from year 2C."

Within the short period he almost drowned in the stares of the female students and Dan-Bi could barely hide her dissatisfaction.

After he introduced himself, the Coordinator pointed at Dan-Bi. "Young lady it's your turn, introduce yourself to the house".

She got irritated by this. "Teacher Yuan, I am not a newcomer, I am just not a regular".

Yo-Han could not help but let out a smile. 'This silly girl, introduce yourself, your are nothing but a sophomore in freshman year.'

"Well I am sorry, I haven't seen you among us before." The Coordinator said.

At that moment some of the old members who knew the truth laughed inside, they just watched without saying anything.

Luckily Ms kyung walked in at the same time and noticed Dan-Bi immediately.

"Choi Dan-bi, is it?. it's nice seeing you after a very long time. It's good that you decided to revive your membership."

'Thank you Ms Kyung' she thought but her only reaction was just a nod.

With this the Coordinator continued and moved to another newbie.

Even though Dan-Bi was not happy about the drama earlier, she just let it go because she knew something like that is inevitable.

The Coordinators commenced the activity, they lectured and showed some practical works for the youngsters to learn from. After talking for like 25mins, Teacher Yuan announced to the room.

"You guys will group yourselves into a group of two individuals each, you pick a partner and both of you will work together on a task. You will draw lots and whatever theme you select will be the theme of your art piece. You have until the first day of your assessment test to submit your work. "

Without contemplating Dan-Bi immediately tapped Yo-Han. "Yo-Han, you and I, how is that?." She looked into his eyes waiting for his reaction.

He just nodded and not a word came out of his mouth. 'I might look like I don't care about who I am paired with, no matter how bad the person's skills are as long as I am still 'Da Vinci Jnr.', it doesn't matter, but the truth is I only want to be paired with someone and luckily she wants the same.'

Some of the other students who wanted to ask Yo-Han to be their partner were disheartened but soon enough, they found their partners too.

Then drawing of lots began. One of each pair goes forward and picks a piece of paper from a transparent bowl.

Dan-Bi took a small piece of paper and when she unfolded it it was written on it 'FREEDOM', she showed it to Yo-Han who just said "Mn".

"Be creative with your ideas and also make sure to find us for help when needed." Teacher Kyung added after they finished drawing lots and the class continued for another 20mins.

At the end of the discussion, Dan-Bi walked Yo-Han to the bus stop. They just walked side to side with non of them saying anything.

Finally Yo-Han broke the silence. " There is a car following after us, is it yours?, if it is then you should not stress your leg, get in and have a safe journey."

She looked back and saw the car. It's hers. 'Nice job Driver, I am getting chased away because of your insensitivity. I will deal with you later.'

"Yeah, I just feel like exercising my legs, you do this everyday why can't I try at least once in a while."

"I take the bus, I don't trek home. Am sure you've never been inside a bus before. " He said jokingly.

"That's right, I think I should experience it for the first time today." She took the opportunity to get on the same bus with him.

Inside the packed bus, Choi Dan-Bi was experiencing the worst day of her life. Not just because of the inconvenience but because the female passengers will not take their eyes off Yo-Han. They were admiring him too much, ' I think just a look is appropriate. This people are too much... Pfft.' Some were even speaking loud enough for her to hear. An old woman even mentioned marrying her granddaughter off to him, which angered Dan-Bi more.

All of this Yo-Han didn't care about, he is starting to get used to it, he just deafens his ears to all the chatting and blinds himself to all the drowning stares. At least it will only take him few minutes to endure.

He managed to notice Dan-Bi's inconvenience so he tried hard to strike a conversation to take her mind off her thoughts. He knew how she felt just by her actions, he could read through her already, and he knows she is starting to like him, but he is not on that same level yet.

"So, Freedom, what do you think.?" Yo-Han asked.

"I really don't know, I am counting on you for this, I really can't do it alone, think about the idea and I will volunteer to do the painting." She said hoping he will be okay with the arrangement.

"I am not good with the thinking" she added.

"What makes you think I am? You said the other time that I must be good with painting, you convinced me to join the club because you think I am a good artist not a good thinker." He replied jokingly.

' God, I have softened a lot within just three days, see what I have turn into, THE JOKER!!!.'

"I just think handsome people like you have good brains too."

He giggled a bit before replying. "No matter how perfect one may be, we all lack one thing or another."

"So?" She asked. ' Don't tell me you are lacking in IQ because that will be the 'LIE OF THE CENTURY'.

" Let me explain it this way, I have the looks, the aura and authority of a king but I don't have an empire, I am not an heir of any family legacy no matter how it is, but I am just an high School student hoping to be a king and building my own empire one day. "

'Hoping to be a King one day, will you mind having me as the Queen when that time comes?' she thought to herself and a smile appeared on her face. "Oh!, Now I get it, but still you.... "

"Okay, I will think of something but don't blame me it you can't deliver my imaginations right." Yo-Han interrupted.

Now he had arrived at his destination, thus he got down from the bus with Dan-Bi following behind.

"I will be saying goodbye here" Yo-Han said then turned around and left.

"Goodbye, see you tomorrow" she said as she also turned and walked over to the car that had being following the bus.
