Scene 1: The Grand Entrance
The morning sun glinted off Haneul High School's gates, illuminating the chatter of students excited for another ordinary school day… until a sleek, black sports car rolled into the parking lot. The engine's low growl made heads snap instantly.
Students froze mid-step, mouths slightly open. Teachers paused mid-walk, pens hovering above papers.
"Wh-who's that?" a freshman whispered.
"He… he's driving a sports car to school?" another asked, eyes wide.
From the car stepped a boy with effortlessly perfect posture. His dark hair fell just above his eyes, catching the sunlight. He exuded calm confidence, and the faint smirk on his face hinted that he knew exactly what he was doing.
Scene 2: Walking Through the Halls
He walked through the school gates, each step measured and smooth. Students couldn't help but stare, some craning their necks as if trying to memorize every detail.
A group of seniors whispered among themselves:
"Look at him… he's not just handsome, he's… perfect."
"Do you think he's rich? I mean… that car…"
"Rich or not… who cares? He's stealing all the attention."
Teachers, too, exchanged glances, trying not to seem as amazed as the students.
Scene 3: First Encounter in Class
The bell rang. Every classroom filled with the usual chatter… except Class 2-A. As the new transfer student walked in, silence fell instantly. Every eye was on him.
He scanned the room calmly, his eyes landing on an empty seat near the window. His movements were fluid, almost cinematic.
A girl whispered to her friend, "He's… unreal."
A boy muttered under his breath, "Why does he have to look like that?"
The teacher cleared their throat, slightly flustered. "Ah… welcome, new student. Please… take a seat."
The protagonist smiled faintly and nodded politely, sliding into his chair. The room remained abuzz with low murmurs, a mix of admiration and jealousy.
Scene 4: Participation That Turns Heads
The class began, and the teacher asked a few questions to warm up the lesson. The new student's hand shot up almost immediately.
"Can you answer this for us?" the teacher asked, and he explained with clear, concise reasoning. Even students who usually dominated the class were impressed.
"Oh wow… he actually knows everything," a student whispered.
"Not fair… he's handsome and smart!" another groaned, fists clenching.
He didn't just answer questions—he actively engaged with the lesson, helping classmates with difficult problems, and even correcting a minor mistake in the teacher's explanation without arrogance, just calm confidence.
Scene 5: After Class—The Gossip Begins
As the bell rang, students filed out slowly, unable to stop talking about him. The whispers followed him even as he walked down the hall:
"Did you see the way he explained that? So smooth…"
"I swear, he's perfect… why does someone like him exist?"
"Next week's tests… I don't even want to try if he's in the class!"
Even the usually strict teachers couldn't help but glance his way, noting his polite manners and sharp intellect.
Meanwhile, the protagonist stepped into the schoolyard, leaning casually against the railing, a subtle smirk on his face as if he knew exactly the chaos he had caused.
Scene 6: A Hint of Rivalry
From across the schoolyard, a group of students—clearly elite in their respective circles—watched him with thinly veiled irritation. One of them muttered, "So this is the new guy… perfect in everything. I can already tell he's going to be a problem."
The chapter closes on a wide shot of the protagonist standing in the sunlight, the whispers of awe and envy swirling around him like a storm, setting the stage for school life, friendship, rivalry, and possibly romance.
