★ Setting: Year 2004 ★

[Virtual Casting & Info] This story is set in the year 2004. Please immerse yourself and enjoy it as if you're back in those days- -

My name is Shin Huijun. It's a bit much coming from me, but I pretty much own this school. Being handsome isn't a crime--lol

I was famous even before I enrolled. It's not like I wanted to be, but it's not like my face was going anywhere, so the fame followed. Honestly, I know I'm good-looking, but sometimes it's a total pain. I can't tell you how many times I've thought about quitting this whole F4 thing.

Our group is called the F4 at school. I don't even know why. We're just a bunch of handsome psychos hanging out together.

The crew consists of four of us: me, Ji Kangmin, Dam Kangwoo, and Tak Siwoo.

As soon as I stepped into school today, a swarm of girls crowded around like usual. I brushed past them half-heartedly as they frantically handed me little things like chocolates, candies, and letters. I tossed out a few casual thanks, dropped my bag in the classroom, and walked right back out.

I headed straight for the rooftop as always, plugged my iRiver MP3 player into both ears to block out the world, and spent some quiet time alone. That was my daily routine.

Until I met her.

It was a scorching summer day. I left the house with my school shirt thrown over a black t-shirt, buttons undone, just like any other day. My tie was left discarded somewhere in the corner of my room.

In the alleyway leading to the school, judging by the time, everyone was running like their lives depended on it because they were late. If you're going to be late anyway, why run? That's what I was thinking as I walked leisurely. But then, from a distance at the school gate, a small girl caught my eye. She was wearing a yellow armband that said "Discipline" on her left arm, catching the latecomers.

At first, I planned to just walk past like it was nothing. But she called out to me as I tried to enter and had the nerve to block my path.

"Who do you think you are? Your tie, your uniform... write your name down here before you go."

Pfft. I wasn't trying to mock her. It just slipped out because it was genuinely funny. This tiny thing is trying to discipline me? Telling me to write my name down? Why should I?

"I don't want to."

I said that and walked through the gate shamelessly. She couldn't follow me because she had to watch the other students. And that day, I had a hunch.

School life was about to get pretty interesting.

Then one day, I was guaranteed to be late again. But as usual, I left the idiots running around behind me and moved toward the school at a relaxed pace. She'll be standing there again, right? I wonder what she'll nag about today? With a bit of anticipation(?), I arrived at the gate, and what do you know.

Instead of catching students, she was in a total panic because she was late herself. She had tossed her bag on the ground and was reaching up at the high wall, trying to climb over it like a total klutz.

Look at this girl. She's late and trying to jump the wall?

It was a hilariously ridiculous situation. And just like that, I found the perfect weakness. Nice.
