INSEPARABLE

Chapter 11

"WHAT THE-"

"What's going on here?" IU interrupted Eunwoo.

She was the former Student Government Council President.

"They're causing a ruckus during our lunch, Ms. IU," Ryujin explained respectfully. The students held her in high regard.

"Let's drop the formalities. Call me Unnie," IU suggested, and Ryujin nodded.

One of the many reasons she commands our respect is her kindness to everyone.

"If you're planning to have lunch, go ahead and do it now. Do not disturb anyone here again," IU sternly warned them. Without a word, they left our table.

I noticed the lingering gazes they gave Chaeyoung's friends before walking away. Not a good sign.

"Hey, IU, right? I'm Chaeyoung, the new kid on the block," Chaeyoung introduced herself, extending her hand for a shake.

"Hello, Chaeyoung! Welcome to YG INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY," IU greeted her warmly.

"So, are all of you new students here as well?" IU inquired, turning to Chaeyoung's friends.

"Yes, Miss, we're all fresh faces around here," I believe the girl, Tzuyu, responded.

"Oh, just call me IU or Unnie if I'm older than you," IU insisted.

"We're all third-year students. I'm guessing you're a fourth-year?" The girl with heart-shaped lips, whom I believe is Jisoo, made the correct assumption. Indeed, IU is a fourth-year student.

"Absolutely right. Feel free to enjoy your lunch. I sincerely apologize for their impoliteness. They tend to be like that," IU expressed regret for the behavior of those troublemakers.

"No need to apologize. It's not your fault they lack manners," Lisa chimed in, prompting only a smile from IU.

"Her voice is so sexy," I whispered to Jennie.

She shot me a perplexed look, and I chuckled. Ever since I noticed her lingering gaze with Lisa yesterday, I couldn't resist teasing her.

"Okay, gotta go! Again, welcome to YG INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY. Enjoy your lunch!" IU bid us farewell.

"THANK YOU, PRETTY UNNIE!" Chaeyoung called out, earning an exasperated sigh from me.

We resumed our meal. I noticed Somi remained unusually quiet, barely saying a word except for when she greeted Chaeyoung earlier. Everyone knows her; she's one of the most beautiful students here. Unlike some of the other girls, she exudes humility, although she keeps to herself. I've heard she's often found in the library. I contemplated striking up a conversation with her, but perhaps that could wait for another time.

Glancing at my Dior watch, I realized it was already 12:31 pm. Our time had been disrupted by those jerks. It was time to finish my meal now.
