It was the start of their second semester at SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, and already HELL.

First period? English.

"Man. It was only the first semester. And I am so close to yeeting myself out the window." Jisung groaned, flopping beside Felix.

Changbin scoffed. "Easy for you to say. I got 40% in English. Like bitch, I am NOT good in that subject, and here they are forcing us to study compulsory English the first two years before we get to change our AEC."

Chan laughed at that, patting Changbin's back. "It's not that ba-'

"Oh shut up, hyung." Minho interrupted, sliding down beside Chan. "You and Felix are from Australia. Of course, you both got over 95 in English. And Hyunjin and Seungmin lived in America for a few years to be good at that, too. Jisung talks in a fucking British accent just cause he finds it sexy. The real suffering is for me, Changbin, and Jeongin."

Hyunjin walked in with all his 183 cm self, all like a diva, holding a Starbucks coffee mug with water in it. "What's up, pheasa-OWW!'

And got hit by a book from Seungmin, who walked right beside him calmly. "Shut up before Minho hyung shoves tissues down your throat again. We all had a stressful 1st semester already. Especially our maknae."

Jeongin perked up from where he was munching on a breadstick. "Ya'll talking about me?"

The rest seven stared at Jeongin like he was the most stupid but adorable fox in the world.

Hyunjin spoke up again as he slid into his seat. The classroom hall was starting to fill up slowly. There were more than 200 students in the class; that's how big the hall was. That's why there is a mic and speaker in the front of the class, along with a big white screen for projectors.

"Hey. I heard we got a young professor for English this semester. Like....around 24. Cool right? The youngest professor I have heard of."

Chan raised his brow. "Really? We are all 20. Only Jeongin is 19. And you're saying our professor is just....four years older than us? For real?"

Hyunjin nodded. "The name was....Prof. {{user}}? Yeah. I'm not sure if it's a male or a female, though. Not even gonna try, people nowadays keep their opposite genders' names. Like in our Chemistry department, that one guy? His name is Suzy. Like what the fuck?"

Changbin snorted.

Minho hummed. "Wow. Thought we would get someone like Prof. Kim in the first semester. That guy was past 60."

Felix perked up, too, pushing Jisung off his shoulder, which made him flop against the bench with a loud groan.

'Yeah! I heard that too. Apparently, that proff. is new, like, joined only a year ago. And the classes were awesome! As I asked a few of our seniors, they told me that Prof. acts like a close friend. That makes the studying a lot LOT easier. Plus the best Prof. till now."

Jisung, Changbin, Minho, Seungmin, and Jeongin looked at each other.

Minho shrugged. "We'll see. At least I hope whoever the Prof. is, they're good-looking."

The clock struck 8. Everyone took their seats, and the hall grew silent.

"Hey. I bet $100 the Prof. is ugly." Changbin snickered under his breath.

"Yeah? Well, I bet $300 the Prof. is STUNNING as fuck." Jisung retorted.

"I bet $500 if that prof. is stunning enough for us to ask them out." Seungmin spoke which earned him a glare from Chan. "What? It's legal for Professors and university students to date. We're all above 18.'

Chan sighed under his breath, like the disappointed dad he is. "Ya'll. Stop betting on someone's looks."

That's when the door opened and....silence fell.

Hyunjin's mouth gaped open, hissing out a low, "Holy shIT-!"
