Chapter 2: ShinHwa High School (FLASHBACK)

(Still Ae Cha's POV)

It was like any other day at Shinhwa High School. Apart from the fact that the heat was killing me, I was doing fine. I had not received any red cards from the F4. Although I had heard rumors that they had changed for the better after meeting some girls by the names of Jan Di and Ga Eul, I felt that it would still do me good to be cautious and not cross their paths badly. I had managed to avoid other students' attention and although it was a little lonely at times, I knew that I always had the music room and my beloved instruments to help me through high school.

A group of girls rushed past me chatting animatedly. They showed off their new jewelry and accessories to each other. A small wave of jealousy coursed through me. I could not afford most of those. I felt just like a commoner who happened to get in through a music scholarship and so far, I had not met anyone who shared the same passion in music as I did.

As soon as I stepped into the hall, I was bulldozed past by a huge crowd. Screams erupted in the air as someone cried, "F4! F4! The princesses are here too!" there had been many times of this occurring and unfortunately, I never managed to see them as I had been pushed away countless of times before I regained footing. But by then, they had already breezed past in their usual way, ignoring those around them.

Multiple screams continued to pierce the air as everyone rushed to see them. This time, I walked up the stairs and watched them. The hall quietened down as the F4 and the Princesses stepped in. Quiet whispers, murmurs and whimpers were heard as the seven of them waved and smiled at the people around them.

Tiptoeing to get a better look, I caught the eyes of a dashing dude. I recognized him as Yun Ji Hu, the silent, most matured one of the F4. I was mesmerized instantly, caught in his eyes. I blushed, looking down first. I glanced up again, noticing the Princesses walking besides them. They moved with such grace and their presence was dominating even beside men. They moved with ease, smiling sweetly at each other and the crowd. They seemed kind-hearted, warm, even.

Unfortunately, at that moment, my phone vibrated in my pocket and as I looked down to search for it in my bag, someone knocked me over from behind in their rush to see the seven of them walk into their exclusive classroom. I felt myself tip sideways down the stairs. Panic coursed through me. If I broke or fractured my hand, I would not be able to play the piano for months!

I let out a helpless cry as I fell, keeping my hands tucked up my chin tightly. My legs gave way underneath me and instead of falling sideways like I had, I began to tip backwards. My ankle twisted awkwardly underneath me just as I felt a pair of muscular arms surrounding me, supporting me.

Opening my eyes in surprise, I turned my head to see an angelic face staring back down at me. His golden-brown hair flopped over, covering half his face and a small diamond stud glinted shyly from his ear.

"Are you alright?" he asked, concern filling his voice. I nodded, unable to speak. The rest of the group moved forward and the student body retreated, giving me space. His arm slipped around my waist, guiding me to a standing position. However, as I stood up, I felt a sharp pain rip in my ankle. Tears streamed down my face and my ankle throbbed painfully.

The Princesses came forward. Thankfully, I had researched them before coming to school, so I roughly knew who was who. Jae Kyung (I think...) walked over, helping Ji Hu support me, getting my weight off my ankle. Ga Eul wiped my tears away with a handkerchief. Jan Di just instructed students to make way and told Ji Hu to take me to the lounge to patch me up.

Complying, he nodded his thanks to Jae Kyung and lifted me bridal style, carrying me to the lounge. I was unable to speak, shocked at his kindness and in-between sobs, I choked out a "thank you". Once inside the lounge, he placed me on the sofa and propped up my leg with a small stool and I realized that I missed his warm arms around me and blushed.

'What are you thinking?!' I screamed in my head. I was suddenly distracted by a pair of hands grasping my ankle. Looking down, I saw Jan Di examining my ankle closely to make sure that it was not broken while the others just looking at me with a mixture of curiosity and concern.

Turning my head side to side, I tried to locate Ji Hu only to see him walk into the kitchen. Whispers between the other members arose. "Did you see that?" "Yah, isn't she the…" Their conversation went on and I gave up trying to decipher their stares.

My emotions were in turmoil. I did not understand what any of this meant. Could this be called love at first sight? Why, of all people, did I have to fall for someone who would never love me? I was just a average, normal girl. He probably didn't even realize I existed till today. I still felt a glimmer of hope, however. I mean, who wouldn't want a famous, gorgeous boyfriend with an amazing personality? I felt slightly stalker-ish.

After all, I had heard quite a lot about them, seen many pictures of them (which is nothing compared to real life) and I had never even caught their attention for the few weeks that I've been here, till now. I was that insignificant in his life, I thought gloomily. Why did I have to fall in love with him?! WHY?!
