Beta read by some people.

Also, I don't own the characters in the story. Naddic does.

"Mmm…mmmgh…"

"Need some help, Seha? I think that pile of books may be a bit too big for you." Mirae asked.

"Ah. It's fine Mirae. I can handle it." Seha replied. However as he did, he suddenly lost his balance and toppled over to the ground along with the books he was carrying.

Mirae let out a small sigh as she came over to the mess and crouched over. "See? I told you that pile of books was too high for you to carry." she said as he picked up some books. "Ok, that should be a little easier for you."

"Thanks, Mirae." Seha said as he was carrying half of the books from earlier; the other half carried by her. "Um, Mirae. Do you mind following me for a little bit? I have to carry these books to the office."

"Sure. I don't mind."

Seha let out a smile. "Thanks again, Mirae. Sorry about this."

"No problem."

And then, the two left for the school office. Soon, the two arrived at the front door, where Seha knocked on it. Shortly after, the door opened, revealing one of the staff members. "Can I help you?"

"Yeah. I was told by my homeroom teacher to bring the books he requested here." Seha said.

"Ah, yes. Put it on her desk."

Soon, both of them placed the books on the desk before shortly leaving the room. "Thanks for the help, Mirae."

"No problem. I couldn't see you risk yourself carrying all of those books." It was then Mirae grabbed onto Seha's hand. "Come on. Lunch is almost going to end soon. I don't want the food to run out."

"Y-Yeah."

And the two rushed for the cafeteria…

"Let's see here…given the function f(x) = 2x2 3x - 1, find its derivative (f'(x))...that shouldn't be a problem." Seha thought to himself as he was looking at a Calculus problem. Then in a short moment, he solved it. "Alright, time for the next one…"

It was then he felt a tap on his shoulder, nearly making him jump. As he turned around, he saw Ria, who was looking at him with a smile on her face. "Ria?"

"Hi, Seha!" she said cheerfully. "What are you doing?"

"Oh, this? I'm doing my math homework."

"I see. Mind if I join you? I need some help with my math homework as well."

"Sure."

Ria then sat down next to Seha and brought out her textbook along with a few other papers as well. Soon, she opened up her textbook. "So…this is what I'm having trouble with." she said as she pointed at a written problem.

For a brief moment, Seha stopped what he was doing and looked at what Ria was talking about. "Oh, that? Let's see…ah, that? It's quite simple. Want me to show you?"

"Yes!"

"Alright. All you have to do is this."

Seha then began to tutor Ria on how to solve the problem she was stuck on. As Seha was doing that, Ria slowly felt like the problem was getting easier to understand. In addition to that, she was also able to memorize the method easily.

"So, you got it?"

"Yeah! It's a lot simpler now! Thanks, Seha!"

"No problem, Ria." he said. As he began to move back towards his work, he accidentally knocked over his pencil. However, before he could pick it up, Ria dove down first and picked it up and handed it to him.

"Here." she said with a smile on her face.

"T-Thanks."

And the two began to work on their homework...

"You know, you have changed a lot these days." Yuri said as she glanced at Seha.

"What do you mean by that?" Seha asked.

"Isn't it obvious? Aside from me and Sylvi, you haven't really talked to other people in the past and you were pretty much a loner. However, these days, I've seen you hanging out to my surprise, Mirae and Ria. And not just once, but many occasions. In fact, I'm curious as well. What's your relationship with them?"

For a moment, Seha did not say anything before asking Yuri a question. "Can you keep what I'm about to say a secret?"

"Sure!"

Seha let out a sigh. "I've known Mirae since middle school due to a certain incident."

That got Yuri interested. "A certain incident?"

"To make it short, some students were trying to make…a certain move on Mirae, and I stopped them. Ever since then, we pretty much had short conversations here and there."

"Huh. That's news to me. And Ria?"

"Well…believe it or not, I've met her as a kid before. Not to mention that I'm the reason she became an idol in the first place."

Immediately, Yuri was shocked. "Are you serious?! You're the reason she became an idol?!

"...Yes."

For a moment, Yuri was completely speechless at the amount of information she had just received, making her stumble backwards for a bit. "Wow. To think you knew them before…that was completely unexpected." she said before a thought came into her head. "Wait…don't tell me…the person that both Mirae and Ria that were planning on giving chocolate to…was you?!"

"...Yes."

Immediately, Yuri wanted to jump and squeal over the fact that Seha was the one that received chocolate from them, but held it in to the best she can. However, she let out a few giggles. "Wow! Congratulations! You're the luckiest person in this school right now! I mean, receiving Valentine's Day chocolate from them is pretty much every male student's dream, and you easily got it!"

"Is it that big of a deal?"

"Oh trust me, you have no idea. Let me tell you this, the amount of chocolate those two received on Valentine's Day was enough to create a large pile. Speaking of Valentine's Day, you now have to do White Day for them."

"White Day?"

"Yeah! White Day! The day where you give chocolate to the person who gave you Valentine's Day chocolate! It's next week by the way!. Although…you may want to be careful these days. I've seen some people staring at you with jealousy in their eyes."

"Why?"

Yuri let out a sigh. "Isn't it obvious? You're pretty much living in every boy's dream right now. They would kill just to be in your place." she said as she got off the ground. "Anyways, I have to go now! Kendo practice starts soon, and I don't want to miss it! See you!" she said as she left the rooftop.

Meanwhile, Seha gazed at the landscape with a thought in mind. "White Day…"

(The next day…)

"White Day…giving chocolate to Mirae and Ria…considering that they gave me chocolate, I guess it's fair that they receive some too…but what do they like?"

It was then he accidentally bumped into someone, and that person is Eunha, one of Mirae's friends. "Oh. Sorry…Eunha, was it?" he said.

"No problem Seha. Anyways, remember that next week is White Day, so you better give Mirae chocolate on that day…or else." she said menacingly at the last two words.

Seha gulped. "Y-Yes." he muttered before realizing something else. "Wait, there's something I need to ask you."

"What?"

"Well…what chocolate does Mirae like?"

For a moment, Eunha did not say anything before letting out a statement. "Milk chocolate. She likes that." she said before she left.

"Hm…now that I know which chocolate Mirae likes, I wonder what Ria likes…maybe the same as Mirae? Or does she prefer something different?" Seha thought as he took a bite of his food at the cafeteria. "Well…guess I should ask her…"

As Seha was eating, it was then he noticed something in front of his tray, which was a note. As he picked it up, he read the contents.

"Ria prefers white chocolate. From Ross."

For a moment, Seha was slightly stunned before turning around to see Ross walking away to the exit. Then, to Seha's surprise, he turned around to see Seha and gave him a thumbs up before turning away again.

"Good luck, Seha."

While not saying anything, Seha gave the back of Ross a thumbs up as well.

(Later…)

"Phew. Got back from the supermarket…with a lot of chocolate too…" Seha thought as he looked at the ingredients in the bag.

"Oh? Are you making chocolate?"

Upon hearing that voice, Seha turned around to see Jisu Seo, who was looking at him with a smug grin on her face. "Mom…what are you doing here?" he said with a groan.

"Oh. I was just wondering why my son was home a little later than usual, and to my surprise, he's planning on making enough chocolate for two people…is it for Mirae and Ria for White Day?" she teased, to which Seha let out a small blush. At that moment, Jisu's grin grew even further than before. "I knew it. After all, those two are the only girls that I know of that have a special relationship with you."

Seha let out a sigh. "You really are not letting this go, huh?"

"Obviously! Imagine my surprise when I found out that you not only met Ria in the past, but you were the one to give her the dream to become an idol! In addition to that, you saved Mirae from those students back in middle school!" she said before she calmed down. "So…how's the progress between the two?"

Immediately, Seha blushed. "W-What?!"

"You know what I'm talking about! Have you spent time with those two?"

"Well…yeah-"

"So, what do you think of them?"

"Well…they're both nice people." Seha said.

Jisu let out a hum. "Nice enough for you to fall in love with them, right?" she teased.

Seha sighed again. "Mom, can you leave me alone for a bit? I need to finish them."

"Alright, alright, I won't bother you now. I'll leave you to your chocolate-making. Have fun!" she said in a cheerful tone as she left the kitchen.

"Alright. Now that she's gone, let's begin…"

Seha began to chop the large piece of cocoa butter into smaller pieces. He then set up a double boiler by placing a heat-proof bowl over a pan of water while making sure the water isn't touching the bottom of the bowl by setting it over medium-low heat. He then brought it to a gentle simmer, not letting it to boil as it increases the risk of scorching and water getting into the chocolate which may cause it to seize.

While that was happening, he added cocoa butter to the bowl to melt without scorching or reaching temperatures that are too high. During the process, he then stirred the cocoa butter to ensure that there was even melting. Once it was melted, he added the powdered sugar and stirred it well to dissolve it. Then he added the milk powder and stirred again to incorporate the two together. He then transferred the melted white chocolate to a blender/food processor and blended to make the mixture smooth.

"Alright. Now for the next set."

Seha began to repeat the process for the milk chocolate. As he did, he began to think about what his mother said to him earlier. "Fall in love with them…well, I do like them…but can I even do it? I mean, both of them are school idols…but I'm just a normal student. Do I even have a chance to begin with?"

Soon, he was done with the other batch, poured the mixtures into the chocolate bar molds, and left them in the freezer to set. "All right. Now all I need to do is to wait. Hopefully, nothing bad happens tomorrow. I mean, it's not like I'm going to get ganged up by a bunch of other students…"

(The next day…)

As it turns out, he was wrong.

"You have got to be kidding me…" Seha thought to himself as he looked at the sight in front of him.

In front of him was a massive group of students, all of them males. And the one that was leading the group was Kitae.

And they all looked at Seha with extreme jealousy in their faces, especially Kitae.

"Seha. Drop the chocolates and walk away. We all know that you're the one who they gave their chocolates to." Kitae said.

Seha let out a sigh."Looks like they already knew…no use in playing dumb then." he thought. "And why should I? These chocolates are for them."

"Exactly! And I'll be the one to deliver it to them! Now hand it over!"

"And what makes you think I'll do so? In fact, what do you even think of them?"

"Isn't it obvious?! They're the school's top idols! Not to mention that they're rich as well! And their bodies are quite exquisite! Imagine what I could do to them…"

For a moment, Seha felt a surge of anger upon hearing his intentions, and it rose after hearing what Kitae thought of Mirae and Ria. "Really? That's what you think of them?" he asked in disbelief. "If that's the case…then I won't give you these chocolates! Especially not to a scumbag like you!"

Immediately, Kitae was furious. "What?! How dare you say that about me! What makes you worthy of them then?!"

Seha let out a small sigh before continuing the conversation. "It's because I understand them better than all of you can. Plus…there's no way that they'll like you. Especially to a bunch of assholes like you who only think about their money and bodies like a bunch of low-lives!"

And then, Kitae's anger exploded. "THAT'S IT! GET HIM!" Kitae yelled as he and his group ran towards Seha.

Seha raised his fists. "Well…guess this is going to be a long fight!"

"So that's what happened?" Ria asked.

Mirae nodded in reply. "Ever since then, I've been keeping an eye on him, always making sure that he doesn't get hurt. We would also engage in small chats here and there."

"I see. So the first meeting between you and Seha was like that…how romantic." Ria said with a bit of teasing, making Mirae blush. However, their conversation was cut short.

"Hey! Did you hear?!"

"Yeah! Kitae tried to beat up Seha with a few other people!"

Immediately, Mirae and Ria were alarmed at those words. "What?!"

"Are you serious?! Why was he trying to do that?!"

"I have no clue!"

At that moment, both Mirae and Ria looked at each other, nodded, and went towards where the other students were heading towards. Eventually, they arrived at the scene, and they were completely shocked at the scene in front of them.

There was a massive group of people lying down on the ground with bruises. Among them was Seha, who looked bloodied and was covered in bruises, and Kitae, who looked confident. As Seha was breathing heavily, he saw a glimpse of Mirae and Ria, and turned around for a small bit.

And that was what Kitae needed.

"You're open!"

Taking the chance, Kitae launched a sneak attack on Seha and punched him right in the face, much to Mirae and Ria's horror.

"Mirae…Ria…" Seha thought before falling down to the ground; unconscious.

"SEHA!" Mirae and Ria yelled in unison as they rushed towards the person they loved, ignoring everyone else in their way. As they arrived, their mouths dropped upon seeing Seha's face, which was bloody and bruised in multiple ways, and it horrified them.

Meanwhile, everyone else was completely shocked at what just happened. Especially Kitae, who orchestrated the fight just for this. "H-Hey…Mirae…Ria…" he said as he slowly approached them with his hand out.

However, to everyone's surprise once more, Mirae slapped his hand away and looked at him with anger in her eyes. "Stay away from him."

"Wha-"

"I SAID STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" she yelled, much to everyone's surprise seeing the school idol yell like that. As everyone stayed silent from her outburst, Mirae turned to Ria. "We need to get him to the nurse's office."

Ria nodded and both she and Mirae began to carry him by the arms. However, before they could leave, Ria left one message.

"If any of you hurt Seha…Mirae and I won't forgive you for all eternity…"

And then the two left, leaving everyone else behind along with one final message.

Mirae and Ria love Seha. Harm him, and you will be considered as their enemy…

(Later…)

"He'll be alright, but barely. It's a good thing you two managed to bring here quickly, or else things would be a lot worse." Dr. Jung said as she was looking at Seha, who was sleeping peacefully with bandages all over his face.

Both Mirae and Ria let out sighs of relief. "So, what's going to happen next?" Mirae asked.

"Well, I'm afraid he's going to stay here for the whole day apparently. There are so many injuries around his body that he won't be able to move around for a little bit. I've also called his mom about the situation."

"I see…and the others?" Ria asked with a bit of fear in her voice.

"Well, their injuries are not that serious…but they won't be coming back to school for quite some time, especially Kitae…I swear, out of all of the stuff he pulled off, this one crosses the line…" she said with a scowl. "Anyways, he'll be fine if he gets some sleep, so both of you don't have to worry about him."

Both Mirae and Ria let out a sigh of relief, knowing that they will not come after Seha again. "Then…is it possible for us to watch over him?" Mirae asked.

"Well…I suppose, but are you sure? Both of you will miss your classes."

"We don't mind." Ria replied as she and Mirae looked at Dr. Jung with eyes of determination.

Dr. Jung let out a sigh of defeat. "Well, it's both of your choices then." she said before she got out of her seat. "Now if you will excuse me, I need to give the news to Seha's homeroom teacher, so stay put." she said, to which Mirae and Ria nodded in reply. "Good."

Soon, the school nurse left, leaving the school idols alone. For a moment, the room was silent as Mirae and Ria were looking at Seha, who was still sleeping.

Then, Mirae began to speak out. "This is all my fault. I left him alone for a bit and he got hurt again, like before…" Mirae said sadly.

Ria placed a hand on Mirae's shoulder. "It's not your fault, Mirae. We didn't know that this was going to happen."

"I know, but seeing Seha hurt like this…I can't bear it. It's like my existence is killing him…" she said as she was going to tear up.

It was then Ria grabbed a small packet of tissues from her pocket and gave it to Mirae. "Here."

"Thank you." she said as she began to wipe her tears off. As she was cleaning her face, she noticed that Ria was looking guilty as well. "You don't look so good either."

Ria let out a deep sigh. "Honestly, I can't help but feel guilty about Seha's condition as well. To think my popularity as an idol would actually hurt him…that's not what I wanted when I decided to become one. I wanted to spread happiness towards other people with my singing, especially Seha since he was the one that discovered it first." she said as she was slowly beginning to tear up as well.

"Ria…"

"If this was the price to pay for being an idol…then I shouldn't have become one to begin with."

"D-Don't say that about yourselves."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Mirae and Ria quickly turned their heads to see Seha who was slowly getting up. "Seha!" they said in relief.

"Do you really think that about yourselves?" he asked as he winced in pain.

"Seha! Don't strain yourself!" Ria said.

"S-Sorry." he said as he managed to get himself comfortable. "Don't say that about yourselves. None of this was both of your faults to begin with. This was my choice, and I have no regrets going through it, even if I end up getting hurt in the process, so don't beat yourselves up over it. After all, you two deserve your happiness."

Both Mirae and Ria looked at him, completely stunned at his words. "W-Why?" Mirae asked.

Seha let out a small sigh. "It's because…I love both of you."

For a moment, Mirae and Ria were stunned by Seha's words. "You love…both of us?"

Seha nodded before blushing a bit. "Well…during the times we spent together after Valentine's Day, my heart began to feel lighter. A part of me felt happy too. And…when Kitae revealed his intentions for you two towards me…I could not stand it, which resulted in…well, this."

Both Mirae and Ria were appalled with Seha.

"So…yeah…that's why. I know it sounds corny, but-"

"You don't have to say anything more." Mirae interrupted.

In an instant, the school idols brought Seha into a hug. Not wanting to hurt him, both of them gently wrapped their arms around him; their faces touching his.

"Eh?"

"You see…we love you too." Ria said.

This time, it was Seha's turn to be surprised. "Y-You two as well?"

They nodded. "Ever since you enjoyed my singing, it encouraged me to do something with my voice. Not only that, but when you left and never returned to the orphanage, I set out to become an idol in order to get you to notice me. And then…when I saw you here, I was extremely happy." Ria said.

"For me, I have loved you since you saved me in middle school. Back then, you were the only one I was able to talk to, and every time whenever we would have those small chats, my heart would feel warm. If you hadn't been there at the time…I don't want to imagine what would have happened next." Mirae said.

"You two…"

"That's why…we want to be with you." Mirae said.

"And we never want to let you go." Ria continued.

For a moment, nobody said anything as the three of them were basking in the moment.

"If that's the case…then I'll be with both of you…together."

Immediately, Mirae and Ria's expressions brightened up as they released Seha from their hug and gave him bright smiles he would never forget.

However, it was not over yet.

"Um…did you bring my backpack here?" Seha asked.

"Yeah. Why?" Ria asked.

"Well…check inside and you'll see."

The school idols went over to Seha's backpack and opened it up. After going through it, they felt something familiar to them and pulled it out. When they did, they were stunned with what was in their hands.

Wrapped chocolate, although they were broken. However, each one had their names on them.

"Seha…did you make this?" Mirae asked.

"Yeah. Sorry if the chocolate got broken…I may have gone a bit overboard during the fight…" Seha said.

However, Mirae and Ria did not mind if the chocolate got broken. To them, receiving hand-made chocolate from Seha was something they will never forget. In addition to that, when they unraveled it, they noticed that the chocolate was based on their favorite flavors.

"Seha…how did you know which flavors we like?" Ria asked.

"Well…I may have had some help from your friends…so yeah. Happy White Day you two." he said with a smile at the end.

For a moment, the two school idols did not do anything…before reaching towards Seha and giving him a hug again.

"Yes. Happy White Day, Seha." they said in unison.

And then, Mirae and Ria kissed Seha on the cheeks, making Seha blush.

Omake

Seha let out a yawn as he was heading towards the front door, preparing for school. It was then he heard the doorbell ring. "Hm? Who's here at this moment?" he thought to himself before heading towards the front door.

However, when he opened the door, he was greeted with an unexpected surprise.

Mirae and Ria.

"Hi Seha!"

"Good morning, Seha."

For a moment, Seha had to rub his eyes just to see if he was dreaming, which he was not. "Mirae…Ria? What are you two doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious? We're neighbors now!"

"Eh? Neighbors?" he asked.

"Yeah!" Ria said as she pointed outside.

Seha then looked at what Ria was pointing out. Upon seeing it, Seha immediately knew what she was talking about.

What Ria was pointing at was a house that was on sale next door to him, and she bought it.

"Like I said, we promised that we're never going to leave you alone. So, we came up with this." Ria said with a smile.

For a moment, Seha was completely stunned before realizing one more thing. "Wait. You mean-"

"Yes. I'm living with Ria." Mirae interrupted as she grabbed onto one of Seha's arms.

"Now then…let's go!" Ria said as she grabbed onto the remaining arm.

And the two dragged Seha out. "Man, my life is going to get crazier from now on…" he thought before another question came into mind. "Wait, how did you know that the house next door was on sale? And how did you know where I live?"

"Oh, your mom told us." Mirae said.

Seha mentally groaned. "Mom…"
