THE BLACKMAIL BEGINS

[The school bell rings, signaling the end of the day. Students pack their bags and rush out of the classroom. However, Ji-Ah remains frozen at her desk. Her mind is racing with panic. The tablet she took by mistake last night belongs to her worst enemy and the class monitor, Kang Seo-Jun. It contains nothing but boring physics formulas. This means her own tablet, which has the unreleased chapter of her secret hit romance novel, is now in his hands.]

Ji-Ah: (To herself, pulling her hair in frustration) Oh my god, if that arrogant jerk read my new romantic chapter, I am completely ruined. My reputation in this school will be destroyed. I need to get my tablet back right now. Where is he?

[Suddenly, the classroom door opens and Kang Seo-Jun walks in. He is holding Ji-Ah's pink pouch tablet in one hand, with his other hand shoved casually in his pocket. He walks up to her desk with a smirk that instantly makes Ji-Ah's blood boil. She glares at him.]

Seo-Jun: Well, well, Ji-Ah. First, you break the library rules, and now you are stealing your enemy's things? Is this your new hobby?

Ji-Ah: (Nervously opening her bag, slamming his black tablet onto the desk) Stop shouting. It was an accident in the library because I was in a hurry. Take your boring physics machine back, and quietly return my tablet. We can talk about the rest later.

Seo-Jun: (Moving the tablet behind his back, leaning in closer. His face is just inches away from hers) Not so fast, Secret Romance Writer. I read your unreleased chapter last night. Fifteen times, actually. I must admit, your romance scenes are quite intense. I had no idea the most average girl in our class was actually a trending author online. The story is pretty good.

Ji-Ah: (Her eyes widen in shock, her face turning completely red from embarrassment and anger) You... you actually read it? Don't you have any shame reading someone's personal stuff without asking? You are not a monitor, you are a thug! Give it back right now. That is my hard work.

Seo-Jun: (A slight smile appears on his lips, and he whispers right next to her ear) If you don't want the entire class and the teachers to find out what their quiet classmate writes online, you will have to do exactly what I say from today onwards. Do you understand?

Ji-Ah: (To herself: I am going to destroy this guy one day. But right now, I have no choice.) Haha, of course, Monitor! I will completely follow your orders. Hehehe. Whatever you say, I will do it.

Seo-Jun: Good. From today, you are my personal assistant. I expect my completed math notebook on my desk tomorrow morning before I arrive. And don't worry, this tablet will stay perfectly safe with me, as long as I am happy with your work. See you tomorrow, Assistant.

[Seo-Jun turns around and confidently walks out of the classroom, leaving Ji-Ah punching the air in anger behind his back, cursing him under her breath.]
