Detention With My Worst Enemy
The Girl Who Wasn’t Scared
The classroom door slid open.
A girl stood there—hair slightly messy, eyes calm, not even trying to look apologetic.
Whispers spread instantly.
“First day and she’s late?”
“She’s bold…”
Ms. Seo
“Introduce yourself.”
Han Soojin
(soojin glanced at the class)
That’s it.
No smile.
No effort.
Some students frowned
Han Soojin
(Her eyes shifted .Back row. Window seat)
Kang Jihoon.
Already staring at her.
Like he’d been waiting.
With that same irritating smirk.
Her expression hardened
Han Soojin
(Of course it’s him.)
Han Soojin
(thinking): “First day… and I’m late. Perfect.”
Books scattered across the floor.
Tall. Calm. Perfect uniform.
Annoyingly composed.
Jihoon.
Kang Jihoon
“Running won’t fix your timing.”
Han Soojin
“Standing in the middle won’t fix your attitude.”
A few nearby students froze.
“Did she just talk back…?”
Kang Jihoon
(looked down at her, unimpressed.)
A pause.
Sharp.
Tense.
Like neither of them knew how to back down.
Han Soojin
(picked up her books.)
Han Soojin
(muttering): “Unbelievable.”
Kang Jihoon
(smirking): “Clumsy.”
Ms. Seo
“Take the empty seat.”
Han Soojin
(In her mind : Wow,There was only one.
Next to Jihoon.
Of course.)
Han Soojin
(walked over, dropped her bag, and sat.)
Kang Jihoon
(low voice): “Late. Clumsy. Loud. You’re consistent.”
Han Soojin
“Rude. Arrogant. Boring. You too.”
A student nearby almost choked.
Kang Jihoon
(turned his head slightly.)
Kang Jihoon
(Eyes sharper now)
Kang Jihoon
“You don’t know how things work here.”
Han Soojin
“And you don’t know me.”
For a second—
He didn’t reply.
Just watched her.
Like she was something new.
Something… interesting
Han Soojin
(stood alone with her tray.)
A group of girls blocked her path.
At the center—
Choi Yuna.
Perfect smile.
Cold eyes.
Choi Yuna
“You should be careful.”
Han Soojin
(Raised an eyebrow.)
Choi Yuna
“Who you talk to. Especially Jihoon.”
Choi Yuna
(Ah.
So that’s how it is)
Han Soojin
“Does he need a spokesperson?”
The girls stiffened.
Yuna’s smile thinned
Choi Yuna
“People who cause problems here don’t last long.”
Han Soojin
(stepped closer.
Same calm energy.)
Han Soojin
“Good thing I’m not planning to fit in.”
The voice was quiet.
But everyone reacted.
The girls stepped aside instantly
Jihoon.
He didn’t even look at Yuna.
Just at Soojin.
Then—
Kang Jihoon
“You talk too much.”
Han Soojin
“You listen too much.”
A pause.
Then—
He smirked.
Again.
Like he was enjoying this.
That was new.
Ms. Seo
“Kang Jihoon. Han Soojin. Stay back.”
Ms. Seo
“You disrupted the class. Detention.”
Door closed.
Silence.
Sunlight filled the room.
Two desks.
One tension.
Han Soojin
“So… how many people here are scared of you?”
Jihoon didn’t even look up.
Han Soojin
“That sounds boring.”
Kang Jihoon
“You’re not scared.”
A small, dangerous smile.
Kang Jihoon
“You will be.”
Detention = Disaster
The classroom was silent.
Soojin sat with her chin in her hand
Jihoon sat like a statue 🗿
5 minutes passed…
10 minutes passed…
Han Soojin
“This is illegal levels of boring 😑”
Han Soojin
“Do you come with a mute button or is this natural?”
Kang Jihoon
(without looking): “Do you come with a pause option?”
Han Soojin
“Only for people worth pausing for 😌”
Pause.
He looked up slowly 👀
Two idiots crouching like spies:
Yoon Jiwon
(whisper shouting): “WHY are we spying like criminals 😭”
Kim Minjae
“Because this… is cinema 🎬”
Yoon Jiwon
“They’re in detention, not a K-drama!”
Kim Minjae
“Same difference 😌”
Soojin started spinning her pen.
Spinning… spinning…
He slowly turned his head
Kang Jihoon
“Did you just throw something at me?”
Han Soojin
“It chose violence on its own 🤷♀️”
Yoon Jiwon
“SHE WANTS TO DIE 😭”
Kim Minjae
“I’m a fan already 😎
Jihoon stood up.
Slowly.
Walked toward her.
Step. Step. Step.
He stopped right in front of her desk.
Leaning slightly.
Kang Jihoon
“You’re testing your limits.”
Han Soojin
(looking up, calm): “You have any? 🤨”
Yoon Jiwon
“CALL AMBULANCE 🚑”
SUDDENLY—
The door burst open—
THUD.
Minjae + Jiwon fell inside 💀
Full body crash.
Silence.
Everyone stared.
Han Soojin
“…Wow. Professional spies 😐”
Kim Minjae
(standing instantly): “Wow what a coincidence 😃”
Yoon Jiwon
“WE WERE JUST—PASSING BY—ON THE FLOOR—”
Kang Jihoon
“You were literally crawling.”
Yoon Jiwon
“…exercise? 🧍♀️”
AND THEN… 😭
Soojin laughed.
Like actually laughed 😂
Jihoon froze for a second.
He noticed.
(uh oh 👀)
Ms. Seo
“What is going on here?”
Kim Minjae
“Group study 😇”
Yoon Jiwon
“Yes ma’am education 📚✨
Ms. Seo
“Sit. All of you.”
Now detention = 4 people 💀
Yoon Jiwon
(whispering to Soojin):
“HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?? 😭”
Han Soojin
“He’s not that scary 🙄”
Kim Minjae
(whispering): “You’re smiling 😏”
Jihoon glanced at Soojin.
She was arguing with Jiwon about snacks?? 🍫
Loud. Annoying.
Different.
Not boring.
(…problem 😶)
Ms. Seo
(dropping papers): “Group assignment. You four.”
Leaves like a villain 🚶♀️
Yoon Jiwon
“We’re finished 💀”
Kim Minjae
“No no… this is premium entertainment 😎”
Han Soojin
“I’m NOT working with him.”
Kang Jihoon
“Good. Don’t.”
They looked at each other 👀
Same time.
Same energy ⚡
Kim Minjae
(grinning): “Too late.”
Pairs already made.
👉 Kang Jihoon + Han Soojin
Slow turn.
Soojin → Jihoon 😐
Jihoon → calm 😌
Kang Jihoon
“Try not to slow me down.”
Han Soojin
(leaning closer): “Try not to cry when you lose 😏”
Kim Minjae
“THIS IS BETTER THAN NETFLIX 🍿”
Yoon Jiwon
“I DIDN’T SIGN UP FOR THIS 😭”
Kang Jihoon
(quiet): “You talk big.”
Group Project = Problem
The next day, the classroom was louder than usual.
Yoon Jiwon
“PROJECT SUBMISSION TODAY?? I’M GOING TO FAIL 😭”
Kim Minjae
“Relax. We’ll fail together.”
Yoon Jiwon
“This is NOT a bonding moment 💀”
Soojin walked in, calm as ever, dropping her bag.
Yoon Jiwon
(grabbing her arm): “Save me.”
Yoon Jiwon
“From education.”
The classroom suddenly quieted.
Jihoon walked in.
Same calm face. Same silence following him.
He sat down without looking at her.
(Soojin noticed… and frowned slightly 😑)
Kim Minjae
(grinning): “Good morning, partners 😌”
Han Soojin
“Don’t call me that.”
Kim Minjae
“Wow. Matching already 😳”
Yoon Jiwon
"ohh my godness 😏"
A paper was placed between them.
The assignment.
Silence.
Han Soojin
“Let’s divide the work.”
Kang Jihoon
“You’ll slow me down.”
Han Soojin
“You’re not that fast.”
Kang Jihoon
(finally looking at her): “Try me.”
Pause.
Their eyes locked.
Kim Minjae
(whispering): “Oh this is personal 😭”
Yoon Jiwon
“I can feel the tension from here 😳”
Han Soojin
(leaning slightly forward): “Don’t regret it.”
Kang Jihoon
(low voice): “I won’t.”
For a second—
neither of them looked away.
Then—
Yoon Jiwon
“Teacher’s coming 😭”
All four suddenly started writing.
Kang Jihoon
“Almost done.”
Han Soojin
“We just started.”
Kim Minjae
“You two are unbelievable 💀”
Kim Minjae
“Library. Now.”
Yoon Jiwon
“I want to go home 😭”
Han Soojin
“I’ll do it alone.”
Kim Minjae
(grabbing them): “Nope ✋”
Yoon Jiwon
“We’re forcing this now??”
The library was quiet.
Too quiet.
Soojin sat down.
Jihoon sat across from her.
A few minutes passed.
Han Soojin
(without looking up): “Stop staring.”
Kang Jihoon
“You’re distracting.”
Kang Jihoon
(calm): “You don’t stop talking.”
Han Soojin
“You don’t stop existing.”
Kim Minjae
(whispering): “This is flirting at this point 😭”
Soojin reached for a file.
Jihoon caught it at the same time.
This time—
neither moved immediately.
A second longer than before.
Their eyes met.
Close.
Too close.
Yoon Jiwon
(whispering): “Why aren’t they moving?? 😭”
Kim Minjae
“I’m not breathing 😶”
Soojin pulled her hand back first.
Kang Jihoon
(quietly): “You didn’t.”
But his voice wasn’t mocking this time.
Just… softer.
They both looked away instantly.
Yoon Jiwon
(whispering): “Perfect timing 😳”
lee seojun
(to Soojin): “You’re new, right?”
He sat beside her.
Explaining calmly.
Soojin listened.
Actually listened.
Across the table—
Jihoon’s expression changed.
Slightly.
Almost unnoticeable.
Kim Minjae
(whispering): “You don’t like him.”
Kang Jihoon
“I don’t care.”
lee seojun
“See you later, Soojin.”
Kang Jihoon
“You trust people too easily.”
Han Soojin
“And you trust no one.”
Kang Jihoon
“That’s better.”
Han Soojin
“That’s lonely.”
Pause.
This time—
Jihoon looked at her differently.
Not annoyed.
Not mocking.
Just… thinking
Yoon Jiwon
“SO who’s actually doing the project?? 😭”
Kim Minjae
“We’re still failing 😌”
Han Soojin
“I’ll do my part.”
As Soojin stood—
her sleeve got caught on the chair.
She stumbled slightly.
Jihoon caught her wrist instantly.
Again.
But tighter this time.
She looked at him.
He didn’t let go immediately.
Neither spoke.
Yoon Jiwon
(whispering): “AGAIN?? 😭
Kim Minjae
“This is not normal 😳”
Soojin gently pulled her hand back.
Han Soojin
(quietly): “I’m fine.”
Kang Jihoon
(low): “You should be more careful.”
Their eyes met again.
Same tension.
But now—
something warmer.
Something confusing.
Kang Jihoon
“Don’t mess it up.”
Han Soojin
(smirking): “Don’t depend on me.”
He walked ahead.
But this time—
he slowed down.
Just slightly.
And she noticed.
