When the homeroom teacher for Class E enters the class, she is surprised to see Klein. She wasn't aware of it but then again, no one ever informed her anything that happened in the school. She's always the last one to know something. She walks towards Klein and taps his shoulder.

When the boy looked at her, she gave him a small smile before pointing to his headphones. Klein understood her request and put away his laptop and headphones. At least he gets to publish two chapters. The female teacher takes their attendance and starts teaching. Some students tried to focus while others completely ignored the teacher and went to sleep.

Klein was one of those people. When the teacher saw this, she sighs and pulls out a form. "Remember the school trip?" Everyone looked at her and some of them woke their sleeping friends. Klein is still asleep because no one dared to wake him up.

"The principal has ordered me to not let you guys go."

"EH?!"

This woke poor Klein up from his comfortable sleep. Now, what happened? The teacher shows their score for the past exam and the students look down in shame. They tried asking for a way for them to take part of the trip but it was already decided. Klein is not sad with the news but Mr Ryan came to his house yesterday for the trip.

Is he going or not?

"You guys can convince the principal with one way."

The teacher said, which gave everyone hope. She pulls out a stack of papers and smiles kindly.

"I will prepare an exam tomorrow for you guys. If you guys pass, I can convince him somehow."

Everyone looks down, feeling like this is the end of the world. No way they can study overnight. Klein still didn't care about it which made their teacher apologize to him in her mind before saying something shocking.

"When I said you guys need to pass, I mean everyone. If one person fails…I will not help you."

Everyone turns their head towards Klein who continues to sleep. One person wakes him up which makes him glare at them. They need to pass the exam but if Klein doesn't cooperate, they know very well they will fail. Well, they're dumbass and had a classmate that won't cooperate. They're bound to be doomed

When lunchtime arrives, everyone stares at Class E who give of despairful vibe while Klein just did his own work on his laptop. Han saw him and entered the class without acknowledging the atmosphere. He wrapped his arm around Klein and was about to look at Klein's laptop but the boy blocked his vision.

"Eh~ You won't share it with me? Did you read something illegal perhaps-"

Klein stares at the boy before pushing him away. No matter real life or online, this boy pissed him off every damn second. But he's also his precious assistant so he's still useful. Han pokes his cheeks and asks more questions that Klein refuses to answer.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Klein looked for his wallet and shook his head. People watch Han drag the poor boy to the cafeteria. Han even ordered noodles for Klein which surprised the boy. How did he know about it? Klein takes this chance as Han gives him free food and starts eating.

"Do you like it? Mr Ryan told me that you always ask your mom to buy instant noodles. He even saw your mom buy it at the mart!"

"Mm."

"Wow, I can't believe someone could be obsessed with noodles!"

While busy eating, Klein saw Han use his phone in a weird way. He felt his phone buzzing and immediately felt like slapping someone. Han had taken a picture of him and sent it to…him.

Han.Min: K! What do you think about this guy? He had a noodle obsession! Create a character that acts like this too!

K: If you snap random people's pictures without their consent and get caught, I won't help you.

Han.Min: (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ But this is to help you! By the way, the guy is busy with his phone. I am bored.

K: If you put the phone down and talk with him, he won't be busy with his phone.

Han.Min: Eh~ But he doesn't want to talk with meee

K: Because you're annoying.

Han pouts and switches his phone off. He saw Klein still busy on his phone which made the boy tap his finger in boredom.

"I am done."

Han heard Klein's voice for the first time which made the boy happy.

"You can talk!"

"...Of course. I am not muted."

Han realizes everyone stares at Klein and wonders, did he miss something? Everyone avoids the boy and when he talks for the first time, everyone seems shocked. Before he could say more, the bell rings and Klein starts to walk away leaving Han alone. The boy was trying to befriend Klein because his friend was interested in him but now, he's interested too.

He's like a character with many storylines to be unlocked. When Klein entered his class, he saw his classmates did their best to study and remember what they wrote in their book. Klein looks at his laptop and switches it on. He looks for random notes and starts studying too.

Mainly because he wanted to feel the pain studying. He would wonder how his past self could study so much without dying. He starts reading but his eyes start to close. Yes, you guessed it right.

He fell asleep.

The teacher didn't bother waking him up this time and he finally woke up when school ended. It was all because of Han. The boy smacks his head with his heavy book which makes Klein jolt up from his seat. Next to Han was his friend Woo Young. They were waiting for the boy to wake up but he never did.

"You were about to sleep overnight at school and we're here to prevent that."

"...Let me dream in peace."

"Absolutely no!"
