That's how the first day in Yulhwak Middle School for the year 2007 starts. the school was in chaos due to the two amazing freshman. a boy and a girl. both of them have been the center on attention since they land their feet on that school. even the 3rd year students are amazed by them. yes, those two are the one they call "perfect". both of them are. and, it is none other than Kim "PERFECT" Kibum, and Lee "PERFECT" EunShi... both of them were placed in Class 1-1, both joined the basketball club, and both of them automatically become the Student's Council maknae (1st year).  and after a week there, they're both called the First Year Prince and Princess. 

Everyday, tons of love letters filled their tables' drawer, lockers' and even their books. at first, it was fun for them. being the center of attention, receiving tons of gifts, got complimented in everything, and always have people to carry their... but, not long after, both of them started to feel the pressure. everything they do, people would pay attention to it like it was a big thing. students from other schools flock around their school, stalkers, haters and die-hard fan clubs start to rise. all those shoulder-burdening things continue to make them stressed until one day....

*June 2007, Yulhwak Middle School, Student's Council (preparation/documents room), 4 p.m. ( 1 hour after homeroom ends)...

Kibum sighs. he's been running from his fans for about half an hour now. luckily, he made up his mind quickly and ran to the Student's Council room. only the members of the council have access to the room and only the members know the shortcut to that room. he opens the door and lean against it. catching his breathe. suddenly, someone ask him "running away?". he was stunned, thinking that it might be one of his stalkers. he looked down (from where the voice come from) and a really big relief rushes to him. it's none other than EunShi... 

Kibum: Ah, it's u... (relief) i thought it was one of those crazy girls...

EunShi: Yeah... i thought u was somebody else too... luckily it's u... (smile)

Kibum: Ah, yeah... (stunned) Oh, mind if i sit next to u?

EunShi: Oh, sure... (smile again)

Kibum: Thanks... (smile and sit)

EunShi: U seems so tired. how long have u been running?

Kibum: Huh... (sighs) about, 30 minutes? i thought leaving the class a little bit later will be a great idea... i guess it's not though... how long have u been here?

EunShi: I see... na? um, about 45 minutes... 

Kibum: No wonder there's tons of guys flocking around the school yard just now...

EunShi: Yeah... (sighs) n i can hear all sorts of voice calling for u too...

Kibum: Tiring isn't it?

EunShi: No kidding... 

Kibum: So, u-

>Phone rings<

EunShi: Ah, sorry, (picks up) Oppa?

Phone: Where're u dongsaeng? why're u not home yet?

EunShi: I'm still in school....

Phone: Ah, really? i called home and nobody picks up... 

EunShi: Uh, mian oppa... 

Phone: Gwenchana.. just wanna tell u, i'm going straight to harabeoji's house. so, u don't have to come home. EunShi: Eh? Wae?

Phone: Molla. harabeoji has something to discuss with us. omma, appa and Yoon are already there. we'll spend the night there probably...

EunShi: Ah? Uh, ok then...

Phone: Don't be too late ok?

EunShi: Uh, ne....

Phone: Well then... (hangs up)

EunShi: (sighs) Damn... uh, sorry...

Kibum: It's ok... boyfriend?

EunShi: Huh? No way! it's my oppa...

Kibum: Ah, i see... (look at the ceiling) so, don't u have a boyfriend?

EunShi: Me? (laughs) no way... i don't have any...

Kibum: (surprised) For real??

EunShi: Of course! 

Kibum: Well, don't u have anyone that caught ur interest?

EunShi: Hmm... (thinks) no...

Kibum: Wow... 

EunShi: How about u? have one?

Kibum: Nahh... 

EunShi: Really? but there's tons u can choose from ur fans right?

Kibum: True but, they're not my type...

EunShi: Hahaha... then what's ur type?

Kibum: Me? hehehe, i want someone who was as perfect as me... (winks)

EunShi: Hahaha... u have high taste... (laughs)

Kibum: Hahaha... of course... same goes to u right?

EunShi: Hahaha... maybe... 

Kibum: But, (serious) u really don't have anyone in ur mind right now?

EunShi: (Shakes head) Nope. no one at all...

Kibum: I see... 

An awkward situation rise between them. both have nothing to say. they look up, down and away... don't know what to do and don't know how to start a new conversation. even though they're paired up a lot, they never had a chance to talk to each other alone. this is the first time they're alone, together. then...

Kibum&EunShi: I...

Kibum: Ah, u first...

EunShi: No, u go ahead...

Kibum: Ah, it's ok, u say it...

EunShi: Eh? No, u...

Kibum&EunShi: (laughs) Hahaha... 

Kibum: So, just say it...

EunShi: Ah, i think i better go now... 

Kibum: Already?

EunShi: Yeah, i've been here for nearly an hour now. i guess the boys are gone now...

Kibum: I see... 

EunShi: (stands) well then, annyeong... 

Kibum: (stands) Ah. annyeong... be careful...

EunShi: Ne... see u later.. (opens door)

Kibum: Ne... see ya... (waves)

Just as EunShi left, Kibum face got red. his heart start thumping like crazy. he don't know why but, something really doesn't seem right about him. all of the sudden, he can only think about EunShi, and nothing else... and the same goes to EunShi. as she walked out, blood rushes to her face and her heart was beating like crazy. she can feels how hot her face is right now but, she ignored it and continue walking as if there's nothing happened without knowing, someone is watching her...
