the melodramatic

she leans forward in her chair, and eyes the paper that was slammed down onto her desk. this time she does huff once she realized that her inkling that the younger wasn’t even her student came true. she doesn’t know how this rumor that she knew everything about math came to be. afterall, she’s still a new face to the campus. but well, she can’t deny the girl in front of her, especially since the rumor was not false, and she was well versed in math. she’s silent as the younger stares at her in the eye, but eventually sighs.  

❝ alright. ❞ she says, begrudgingly.  ❝ let me see the paper. ❞ she takes the assignment from the grips of the younger as she says this and scans her eyes over the content. once she’s finished, she looks up at the pleading eyes of kayla.  ❝ what part are you unclear on?  ❞      

kayla huffed in disappointment, yooa didn’t seem to be falling for her nice girl act. oh well. If she happened to act like a bitch in front of the graduate student, yooa shouldn’t be surprised. she leaned back on her chair and crossed her arms, looking away from the teacher’s assistant. this ‘nice girl’ act worked on a lot of her professors, so why wasn’t it working for this one? ‘i guess it’s because she’s also a student, and not technically a professor.’ she thought. why did she even trust her friends? how was she supposed to trust someone who wasn’t even a professor? she should’ve just visited one of her professors instead of a teacher’s assistant. ‘well, there’s no leaving now.’ she thought, the corners of her lips into a scowl. 

kayla’s thoughts were interrupted by yooa’s unnecessary chatter. if she was stuck on only one part, she wouldn’t have came here in the first place.  friends and connections were usually kayla’s way of solving one small problem. but this wasn’t one small problem, this was a huge problem. her reputation in the family was at stake! everyone would look down on her and call her unworthy! and kayla wasn’t about to let that happen, oh no. 

“uh, everything.” she mumbled in embarrassment. 

— [ ♡ ] office hours for yooa was just another opportunity for her to get work done- save for the fact that she had to actually do it at her office and not in the comfort of her own apartment. it wasn’t so terrible however, from her experience as an undergraduate, she knew that most of them rarely ever attended office hours. not that she knew why– when she was still a student she attended office hours whenever she could. what better way to get ahead of all your peers if your teacher’s assistant and professor knew you by name and face?

but really, yooa was bored out of her mind. she’s not one to laze around, but this particular afternoon, she was planning on just napping in her office. if today was like any other day, she would not have anyone coming in. unless– unless the weird group of students who only ever asked her about math and physics returned. she had an inkling that they really weren’t her students, but it wasn’t like he could just make them leave.

yooa looks up at the taller female when she steps into her office. the younger is pretty, she notes, but completely unfamiliar. yooa straightens out her back and plasters on a professional smile, motioning at the younger to take a seat in the empty chair. guess this means no nap for her.  ❝ hey. welcome to my office hours, how can i help you? ❞

the first thing kayla thought when she took a glance at the yooa was, ‘ wow, she’s pretty....but not as pretty as me.’ she smirked to herself before taking a seat in the seat in the empty chair. that wasn’t a very nice thing to think of your elder, but those were just the effects of being a social media influencer.  the graduate student truly was beautiful, but years of being described as one of the most beautiful people in the world had unfortunately went to the sophomore’s head. 

“ were you doing something? sorry for disturbing you.” kayla had only said that to seem nice, and it was crystal clear. she wasn’t dumb- yooa clearly wasn’t doing anything, but she really needed that A in math. this side of her rarely ever came out, so this teacher’s assistant had to be grateful for that. or at least act like it.

“ a few of my friends told me to come to you because i have a D in math and my mom’s going to kill me if that D doesn’t turn into an A by the end of the semester. ” kayla ranted, almost losing her breath. she took a deep breath before resuming. “ they claim that you know everything related to math. ” she continued, taking out her math homework and slamming it on the desk in front of her. the taller girl’s eyes stared into yooa’s with a pleading look. “ you’re the only person who can help me. ”

Life here is really fun so far! In case you forgot, I do two sports, cheerleading and archery. I’m also in the dahlia social club, photography club, and the drama club. You might be concerned, but it’s okay! I can juggle all of this at once, don’t worry. I know you wanted me to go study in Taiwan, like you, papa, and basically all the generations of our family, but this is my dream school. You’re probably disappointed in  me, but I’m studying business management to make you proud! When I graduate, you’ll forget that you were ever mad!

Also, thank you for taking me to all those gymnastics and acting classes, it really helps with drama club and cheerleading. Thanks for taking me to archery classes as well. I’m actually getting sort of used to this social media influencer life(except the fans running up to you on the street part, that always scares me). I hope you’re not as worried as you were earlier, but I now see why. You didn’t want my privacy violated and you didn’t want me to constantly be in danger. Fortunately, South Korea is safer than America, cause I haven’t seen any stalkers since I came here. Also,  I know you might not care since you’re infinitely rich, but I’m actually making a bit(a lot) of money doing this influencer thing, and pretty soon you don’t have to pay for my tuition! Isn’t that exciting for you! South Korea has beautiful scenes that are Instagram worthy, so this is the perfect place to stay for awhile.

Say hi to Liam and Angel for me!
