When Jooya was in 10th grade, she studied in a co-educational school where both boys and girls attended classes together. Even though she spent years studying alongside boys, she never really had any male friends.
Jooya was a quiet and focused student. She was friendly with everyone, but she preferred keeping her circle small. She would talk to her classmates when necessary, help others with studies, and then return to her own work.
There were a few boys in her class who were good classmates. They respected her, spoke politely, and often helped her whenever she faced difficulties in subjects like Mathematics or Science. During examinations, they would encourage her, discuss important topics, and make sure she had not missed any important notes.
What made Jooya stand out was her excellent English. She could speak and write confidently, and her teachers often appreciated her work. Whether it was an essay competition, a classroom presentation, or an English test, Jooya was usually among the best performers.
Because of this, almost everyone in school knew her. Many students would approach her for help with grammar, vocabulary, or English assignments. Some even joked that if anyone had an English-related problem, Jooya would surely know the answer.
Although she was well-known and respected by her classmates, she still never formed a close friendship with any boy. To her, they were simply good classmates who treated her kindly and helped her when needed. At that time, she never imagined that one day, years later, she would have a male best friend who would become one of the most important people in her life.
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
After passing 10th grade , Jooya took admission to a girls' higher school in 11th grade. Unlike her previous school, only girls studied there.
On the day of admission, Jooya was extremely nervous. Everything was new to her, and she had no idea what to expect. To make things more challenging, she had to face an interview with the principal before getting admitted.
The principal began speaking to her in English. Jooya's heart raced. Although she was good at English, nervousness made her stumble over a few words at the beginning. Her father sat beside her, unable to understand most of the conversation because he was not familiar with English.
However, as the interview continued, Jooya slowly gained confidence. She answered the principal's questions politely and fluently. The principal was impressed by her communication skills and positive attitude. By the end of the interview, he gladly approved her admission.
That day, Jooya and her father completed the necessary formalities and collected the admission form. Three days later, her admission was officially confirmed.
Since the admission process took place during the summer vacation, regular classes had not yet started. Jooya spent her days waiting for school to begin. Meanwhile, she was added to the class group, where teachers occasionally shared important information.
Some online classes were also conducted before the school reopened. Through those classes, Jooya got her first glimpse of her future classmates.
One girl immediately caught her attention. She had a purple background behind her camera and wore elegant clothes. Her name was Rossie.
Another girl looked quite weak and unwell, but she had a gentle face. Her name was Sofiee.
Then Jooya noticed a simple-looking girl who seemed to come from a middle-class family, much like herself. Her name was Vinne.
Though they were only faces on a screen, Jooya became curious about them.
Finally, the day arrived when offline classes were scheduled to begin.
Jooya was nervous once again. Her new school was much larger and more impressive than the school she had attended in 10th grade. The buildings looked grand, the campus was beautiful, and everything felt unfamiliar.
As she entered the school, she realized she did not even know which classroom belonged to her section. Feeling anxious, she approached a teacher and politely asked for directions.
The teacher guided her toward the correct floor and classroom.
When Jooya finally reached the room, she looked inside and immediately recognized a familiar face.
It was Rossie.
For the first time, Jooya felt a little relieved. At least she had seen someone she recognized before entering this completely new chapter of her life.
After entering the classroom, Jooya looked around nervously, searching for a place to sit. Most of the students were already seated and talking among themselves.
Gathering her courage, she approached a girl and politely asked, "Can I sit here?"
The girl smiled warmly. "Yes, of course."
Her name was Tejju.
Jooya felt relieved. Tejju seemed kind and welcoming. Although Jooya had recognized Rossie from the online classes, she did not go to sit with her. Deep inside, she assumed that Rossie came from a wealthy family and might not be interested in talking to someone like her.
A few minutes later, their Economics teacher entered the classroom. He would later become one of Jooya's favorite teachers.
After taking attendance, he asked the students to introduce themselves. Only a few students were new to the school. Among them were Jooya and Rossie, who had received admission without taking the entrance test.
During the first few days, Tejju was Jooya's only bench partner. She guided Jooya through many things, helping her understand the school environment and making her feel comfortable.
As weeks turned into months, Jooya slowly made more friends. Her circle grew to include Rossie, Vinne, Sofiee, Sujuki, and a few others.
One day, while talking online, Jooya discovered something unexpected about Rossie.
Both of them were BTS fans.
Rossie's favorite member was Kim Taehyung, while Jooya's favorite was Park Jimin. However, both agreed that they loved all seven members equally and proudly called themselves OT7.
That shared interest became the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Rossie often asked Jooya to sit with her in class, but Jooya would politely refuse or make excuses. She was still shy and unsure.
Then, about a month later, they discovered something surprising.
Every subject they had chosen was exactly the same.
Both of them laughed and called it fate.
From that moment, they started spending more time together. Their conversations became longer, their trust grew stronger, and they found comfort in each other's company.
Within just eight months, Jooya and Rossie became very close friends.
Jooya also realized how wrong her first impression had been.
She had assumed Rossie was rich and would ignore her, but Rossie was actually humble, friendly, and down-to-earth. Their backgrounds were much more similar than Jooya had imagined.
On the other hand, Vinne, who always appeared simple during online classes, turned out to be quite wealthy and beautiful in real life.
Rossie was beautiful too, but what stood out most about her was her confidence and communication skills. She could talk to anyone with whom she is comfortable with easily But she never had courage to talk confidently with class teachers but with people she feel comfortable with were always amazed by her conversation/communication skills.
💟💟💟💟💟
As Jooya looked back on her first day at school, she always smile and miss them really to much.
The place that had once seemed so unfamiliar had slowly become filled with friendships, laughter, and memories she would never forget.
As time passed, the friendship between Jooya and Rossie grew stronger. They spent countless hours talking, studying, and sharing their love for BTS.
Like every close friendship, they had their disagreements too.
Sometimes they would stop talking to each other after a small argument. But their friends never allowed the distance to last for long. Vinne, Sofiee, and the others would always try to bring them back together.
"Just talk to each other," they would say. "You two can't stay apart for long."
In class, everyone had started calling Jooya and Rossie "soulmates." The nickname came from their favorite BTS friendship. Since Jooya loved Jimin and Rossie loved Taehyung, their classmates compared them to the famous friendship between Jimin and Taehyung.
Whenever they fought, the whole group would work hard to make peace between them.
One time, Rossie was the first to apologize.
She text to Jooya and said, "I'm sorry. Let's not stay angry anymore."
Jooya couldn't stay upset for long, and soon everything returned to normal.
However, one incident hurt Jooya more than any argument.
Few days, she was absent from school. When she returned, she found Vinne sitting in her usual place beside Rossie.
Although nobody had done anything wrong, Jooya felt hurt. She missed sitting next to her best friend, and seeing someone else in that seat made her emotional.
For the first time, tears filled her eyes in the classroom.
When Rossie realized what had happened, she immediately understood Jooya's feelings.
She spent time convincing her and eventually came up with a solution.
From then on, Jooya and Vinne would rotate seats, while Rossie jokingly declared,
"You two can rotate, but I'm staying right here in my usual place!"
They both laughed and said , Rossie this is not at all fair.
Soon, the arrangement became a fun tradition rather than a problem.
Meanwhile, Jooya's friendship with Vinne also grew stronger. During a school function, they spent more time together and discovered how much they enjoyed each other's company Vinne was also a BL lover as Jooya but Vinne was a greatest BL lover in compare to Jooya like that they became more comfortable with each others Vinne was quite rude in first but when they all get closed they got to know that she was same as Rossie and Jooya, but Rossie was unknown about BL etc..!..
Before long, Rossie, Jooya, and Vinne became an inseparable trio.
They worked on projects together, shared secrets, and created memories that made school life special.
However, there were times when Jooya had to participate in activities alone while the others worked in groups.
Rossie and Vinne often felt bad seeing her by herself.
But Jooya never gave up.
On one occasion, she was assigned an important project without any partners. While others worked in teams, she completed everything on her own.
She put all her effort into the project, spending hours researching, organizing, and improving every detail.
When presentation day arrived, the teachers were amazed.
They had not expected such an outstanding project from a single student.
Jooya's work received praise from everyone.
After the presentation, Rossie and Vinne rushed over to her.
"See?" Rossie said with a smile.
"If we had all worked together, you might never have discovered what you could do on your own," Vinne added.
"We're really proud of you."
Those words meant more to Jooya than the appreciation itself.
At that moment, she realized that true friends are not the ones who always stand beside you. They are the ones who celebrate your success, encourage your growth, and believe in you even when you doubt yourself.
And that was exactly the kind of friendship Jooya, Rossie, and Vinne shared.
