'Pang'

Yes, you read it right! Our young author just walked into a telephone pole which resulted in him hurting his head. If he didn't stay up last night reading novels, he would've had a better mind this morning. Considering he's not wearing glasses in daily life, he surely is ruining his eyesights more.

"Ah, are you okay?"

"No. It hurts."

Of course it hurts. These two both stay up late together so you knew why Han would ask such stupid question and Klein would answer him with stupid answer. Both of them saw two familiar faces and Han called out to them.

"Wow, you're really enrolling in our school!"

Hana smiles shyly after Han's claim. Woo Young put her hands on both of Hana's shoulders with a wide smile. She proudly announces Hana will be in the same class as Klein. What they don't know is that…

This caused some misunderstanding and the school website is in chaos.

'Is the new kid…KLEIN'S GIRLFRIEND?!'

8801: Why is this a question?

9999: No way it's not a question! She enters the class with Klein and only asks questions from Klein as if they already knew each other!

1176: I saw her walking with Woo Young and Han too. Don't you think that she's just their friend?

5520: Class E shipper! Keep an eye on those two for us!

3342: Yes sir/ma'am!

Hana just sat down next to Klein while reading her book. She saw Klein was too focused on his computer so she doesn't want to bother him a lot. She was impressed with how fast he can type, considering she is a slow typer when it comes to computer.

Klein must've been using a computer longer than her.

?

She saw Klein stop typing and switch off his laptop. His next action surprised not only Hana but everyone else. He drops his head on his desk and dozes off.

"EHHHHHH?!"

Louis, who walked past the class, heard them and checked out what happened. He went to Klein and tried to wake him up with a poke. This shocked people more. Didn't Louis and Klein avoid each other? But, Louis noticed something and put his hand on Klein's forehead.

"Klein? You're burning-"

"...just for a while. It will get better after sleep."

Louis tries to say something but Klein wears his headphones to block his words. Fine, for now, he will let him be and check again at lunch. Klein can't sleep though, so he decides to imagine a random scenarios that he can use for his new chapter.

'...Noodles. Right, the third male lead can work at a noodle restaurant and pay his tuition fee.'

If we were given a chance to read everything from Klein's perspective, no one would be able to guess what he's thinking next.

He's so random.

When lunch time arrived, Klein woke up feeling better. Well, only Klein knew his own body. If he said only for a while, it is really for a while. Louis decides to follow him in case he suddenly feels sick. And, at the rooftop, the big five gather!

"How's your day so far Hana~"

Woo Young was hugging Hana like the clingy girl she is. Hana blushes a bit after the hug. She felt happy that Woo Young treated her like a friend and told her about her new class. The three guys eat silently while listening to everything around them.

Well, they're not alone.

There's also a group of students eating on the rooftop.

As long as they don't disturb each other's group, anyone can eat up here.

"I think you must be confused with the subject since you just entered school today! Why not study together? You boys would join too right?"

"Of course!"

"No."

They look at Klein who answers with one word and continue eating his bread. Honestly, Woo Young would love to pull the hair of that guy but patience is the key. And since Klein refuses to go, Han decides to refuse too.

Klein could use an assistant if he's staying at home and writing stories. Louis and Woo Young couldn't really say there's something going on between those two because Klein surely shows a face that said he can't eat noodles if Han is with him.

Time skip to after school~

"...So, what's up with this chapter?"

"What?"

"Your obsession with noodles is beyond my imagination."

Klein stares at the chapter as if pointing out that noodles wasn't his main focus on the chapter. Han was impressed at how well Klein wrote it though. He can write very well about someone's experience while working part time.

If it were Han, he would probably write that the job was easy for the character and he got along well with his co-worker. Klein, on the other hand, wrote about the pain of the character. He was young so he was easily bullied by his co-worker.

He had to work overtime with no raise, jealousy for the attention he got from his manager and also getting critique. Well, guess that we sometimes have to realise the world isn't that easy to live in.

"But I have to say…your writing is much better than mine. Do you even need me anymore?"

"Sometimes. Yes."

"I admire that some of the chapters you wrote seem like something that would've happened in real life. Like…I can relate sometimes."

Klein looked at his assistant and went to his closet. He pulled out something and threw it at Han. Han captures it and it reveals a cloth. It's a restaurant's part time clothes.

"My story is based on a true story. I once ran away from home and worked part time to gain my own money."

…

Then, he was bullied by his co-worker?

Han wondered how many things in Klein's books were based on real life experience because…

Klein's story was never happy…

It was always about a character's misery that was solved but another conflict always appear.

"Boss…

What have you been through your whole life?"

~~~~~~~~~~~

Klein: Someone just asked me for a hand reveal in the review section.

Han: …? What?

Klein: Hand reveal means a picture of my hand?

Han: don't do it.
