The next morning Su Yeon woke up early intentionally. She turned off her alarm and did some stretching exercises.
There was a message from Jin. It was sent today at 1:30 am saying, 'Sorry, something came up. I won't be coming to pick you. Once again All the best!'. She replied with 'Ok', took bath, and started getting ready.
She decided to wear formal clothes today and keep a nice and decent look. She wore a simple off-white shirt, paired with black skinny trousers and a blazer. She left her waist-length dark brown hair open with a side partition. Since this hairstyle wasn't matching her look, she clipped her long bangs from both sides at back to have a decent and formal look. She chose simple stud pearl earrings and applied very light makeup. She took her laptop, kept it in her bag, and came out to have breakfast.
In the dining area, her mother was keeping the dishes on the table and her father was reading the newspaper. "Morningggg!!" she greeted her parents. They both greeted her and started having breakfast.
Mother Yoon asked, "Su Yeon ah, aren't you feeling nervous? I mean it is indeed very exciting but you are presenting on a stage in the auditorium!" Su Yeon chuckled, "Of course mom, but our professor once said that Why to get afraid when you are presenting in front of people who are just like you!"
Yoon parents listened to her quietly and then father Yoon asked, "Are you convincing your mother or yourself?" Su Yeon replied with an indifferent face, "Both." Yoon parents laughed at her childish behavior.
After breakfast, Yoon parents started reminding her about her things. It has always been an emotional moment for them, after all, no one wants their child to grow up. So looking at their one and only child, in formal wear, preparing for a serious topic, was very overwhelming for them. The father-daughter pair bid farewell to mother Yoon. Father Yoon first dropped Su Yeon at her university and then went to his work.
She went to her class where her friends were waiting for her. They discussed some last-minute points until the roll call and went to the auditorium where the presentation will be done.
After few minutes, the Professors came and sat in the front row. Su Yeon recognized every one of them but there was one man in his mid-forties whom she failed to recognize. He was tall, almost 6 ft, handsome, and had an aura of a leader. He was happily chatting with the other Professors.
"Listen, who is that handsome tall man? I never saw him before" she asked her friends. Min Seong replied, "I heard that this time one of our trustees requested to be the judge of our final year presentation. He is known as Prof. Song and used to be the Professor in our university but left the profession some years ago. He and our Chief have a very good relation. Maybe he is that person?" "Ohh!" the other two replied.
One by one, every group started to present their project. The first group was very nervous because of Prof. Song. He had a very serious face but at the time of review, his aura changed completely into a friendly guide. He neither asked any group questions regarding their model nor criticized it negatively. So everyone waited for his opinion instead of other professors.
After some groups, the professors decided to take a break for lunch. Everyone started to gather around Prof. Song for guidance, just then a tall and well-built man came beside him and whispered something in his ear. He was probably his secretary or maybe bodyguard. Later they both went outside.
"Ohh! I just met that tall and handsome man at university gate this morning, he is a bit... weird!" pointing at the bodyguard/secretary, Su Yeon said to her friends.
"How can you be this perverted! First, you think that Prof. Song is handsome and now you are even eyeing on his secretary!" Min Seong commented and Yan Su laughed.
Su Yeon has a hobby of being a pervert. "No-No! It's not like that this time! I really think that he is weird. He was shocked when I said sorry to him and turned his gaze down. But for the whole time, he was utterly shocked, don't you think it is a bit weird?" Yan Su asked, "What happened exactly?" Su Yeon replied, "Well, it was just a short chitchat..."
"Are you sure?" they both asked at the same time. Su Yeon narrated what exactly happened near the gate...
...
Few hours ago,
When Su Yeon was entering the college, while fixing her stilettos, she bumped into a tall and well-built man. They both were in their own thought, so he was equally startled.
Accidentally, she stepped on his foot and was about to fall but he caught her at the perfect time. Without looking at her he apologized to her and turned around to leave.
"Wait," when he heard her voice, he froze. "Actually, I am sorry, I accidentally stepped on your foot," Su Yeon was waiting for his reply. He still didn't move.
She added, "Are you hurt somewhere? Is it paining?"
At the same time, a sweet voice rang in his mind,
'Are you hurt somewhere? Is it paining?'
When he turned around, he saw a young girl, who was reaching just below his chin even when she was wearing heels, just like someone he knew.
He quickly looked downwards and said, "I am sorry Miss, are you ok? Did I hurt you? Please forgive me" while saying he was looking at her feet and was a bit nervous.
She looked at him, he was tall, more than 6 ft, had a very strong physique like a soldier, and probably in his late twenties. There was a hint of shock and nervousness on his cold and aloof face.
Suddenly, she had an urge to tease him and without thinking, she quickly replied, "I am perfectly fine. Since you are handsome and saved me, I will forgive you!" She has to crook her neck to look at him, so she held her chin high while replying.
'I am perfectly fine. Since you are handsome and saved me, I will forgive you!'
Once again same voice rang in his mind at the same time when she was replying. He bowed to her and left. Su Yeon was dumbfounded because of his behavior and her sudden comment.
…
When Min Seong and Yan Su heard this story, they didn't understand her behavior either. "I know that you have a perverted mind but you never expressed it loudly," Yan Su commented. The other two agreed.
Min Seong asked, "Why did you tease him in the first place?" "I don't know, I had a sudden urge to tease him and before thinking, I said. The strange part is, he didn't get angry, not even gave strange look, but got nervous!" Su Yeon said. "I heard that cold, aloof, and strict men tend to be nervous in front of the opposite gender, looking at him, I think he is from that category," Yan Su suggested.
While sitting in the canteen, they looked in the direction where all professors, including Prof. Song and his secretary-cum-bodyguard were having lunch. That secretary was sitting beside Prof. Song without eating anything as if sitting for the formality. Prof. Song said something to him and then he started eating.
Even if both her friends said that he looks like a wooden block, strong and expressionless, Su Yeon found him cute and wanted to tease him more.
Actually, just a moment ago, she was angry in her mind because of the way Prof. Song was treating him. Even if he is a secretary, how can he let his subordinate starve! When he told his secretary to eat, she felt good and then got amused by her own thought. Why she is thinking about them?
Yan Su remembered something suddenly and told Su Yeon, "Su Yeon, that day at the cafe, do you remember that man who was talking to that doctor you were looking for?"
Something clicked in Su Yeon's mind, that's right! It was Prof. Song who was talking with him! She was contemplating to ask Prof. Song about him or not. She could have asked Wang parents easily but she had already asked them a few months ago, so it won't look good.
Just then, the bell rang, indicating that the lunch break is over. Now it would be their turn to present...
After the break, it was their turn to present. Su Yeon had a mini sandwich and juice for lunch, as it will give sufficient energy and will not make her dizzy. While everyone was coming into the auditorium, she was practicing backstage. Yan Su was scared to her wits even if she wasn't the one who will be presenting. Min Seong was equally nervous and reciting the details and numbers. Moreover, they both were more nervous because Su Yeon, who is going to present, wasn't showing any kind of anxiety. She was calm as water. For outsiders, this was the impression of Su Yeon but in reality, Su Yeon was nervous too! Presenting in front of the class and presenting in front of everyone on the stage is different. She closed her eyes and started taking few deep breaths. When the professor called out her name, she came out taking elegant, calm, and confident steps. While standing at the center of the stage, her heart almost came out in her throat. It was thumping c
The three of them waited to see the remaining presentations. Yan Su was at the top of the cloud because of what she did earlier and how she was appreciated for it. Looking at Su Yeon, Min Seong said, "So, this is why you wanted to delete those slides," Su Yeon nodded and they both looked at happy Yan Su. Yesterday Su Yeon told Min Seong to delete those slides of their marketing plan of Imperial City and today in the morning, she asked Yan Su to answer it in the critics round. That is why when they were asked, Su Yeon waited for Yan Su to answer. When everything was over, Yan Su offered a meal to both of them, "I am famished, let's eat something. You don't have any plans, right?" Min Seong replied, "In! But I don't think Su Yeon will come, she is going on a date." Yan Su exclaimed, "With Kim Jin? Aww so cute, Su Yeon ah you should accept him. He is perfect boyfriend material and he loves you a lot." Su Yeon said, "Wait, wait, wait! It's not like that,
In the car, There was a deep silence. No one knew how to start a conversation. Kim Jin was stealing glances at Su Yeon. He always liked whenever she sits beside him. Just her presence was enough for him to lift up his mood. To remove the awkwardness, Su Yeon started the conversation, "It may be real or maybe I am paranoid but, you look a bit sad. What happened? Is everything ok?" Thump! His heart started beating loudly. Just a glance and she can see through him. He was indeed sad because of what happened today with him and he was hiding something from her. He stopped the car at the signal and looked at her. She was looking way more gorgeous and in addition to it, she knew what is happening with him. He was feeling sad and lonely so he desperately wanted to hug her tight at this moment. He smiled at her and said, "Hmm, it's true that I am feeling down but no worries since you are here with me right now! I can always get free therapy fro
While returning to the car, Su Yeon suddenly wanted to use the washroom. She asked Kim Jin to wait for her as she wanted to use the washroom. They both entered the café, Su Yeon went to the washroom and Kim Jin sat on the empty table, waiting for her. When she came out, she saw a tall figure at the entrance. She was surprised! "Isn't he..." she thought but suddenly that person held his head and sat at the nearest table. She panicked and quickly went near him. "Mr. Secretary, are you alright? What happened?" Su Yeon asked that person. "Do you know him?" Kim Jin asked. "Yes, he is the secretary of our Professor," she told him but her eyes never left the person in front of her. She offered him water but he rejected. He looked at her and said, "Thank you for your concern Miss, I am alright." Even if his face was aloof, his eyes were saying different. Those eyes were happy as well as lost. He bowed to her and left. Kim Jin and Su Yeon both were equally sta
In the other private room of Sky Lounge, two men were drinking. One had average height and physique, but had short hair. He had a casual aura and was enjoying the drinks. The other one was the polar opposite of him. He had a tall and well-built body, well-maintained hair and a cold aura. He was looking sexier as he was fully focused on doing something on his laptop. His fingers were almost flying on the keyboard. After a minute, he smirked. "Done already?" the short-haired person asked. The other one adjusted his specs and wore earphones. He asked, "Want to listen?" "Whom did you hack just now? Don't tell me it's that person!" the short-haired asked. When the other person nodded his head, he took one side and fixed it in his ear, "Let's see why that person is disturbing our handsome demon!" They started to listen when Gon entered the private room. The short-haired person was listening casually while enjoying drinks but the other one closed his
Prof. Song who was silent till now suddenly clenched his glass and shouted, "Of course!" he paused and calmed himself. He fumed, "Tell your men to follow him without letting him know about it. That devil is way more smart, just like he used to be. No no, instead… Gon, you should follow him. Remember not to let him meet my little dumpling, NEVER! I won't do that mistake again. I realized later that he was also there in the café that day... very close to her. If you want your Miss to be happy this time, you should not let them meet at any cost." Gon was confused. Why does Master is getting so angry? Who is he? He asked, "Master, who is that person? Did he do something to our Miss that time?" Prof. Song told him, "That person is the Tyrant I was talking about! Same face, same personality, same attitude! Nothing has changed about him. He didn't do anything as of now..." Fear started building inside his heart. His angry tone changed into t
"What's up with that devilish smirk?" the short-haired man asked. When he came from the washroom, he saw that his friend was smirking while looking at his laptop. He wondered if his friend really has memory loss because he remembers almost everything before the accident; so why does his friend thought like that? The one with the specs quickly stopped smirking and closed that window he was looking at. They heard that two people from that room ended their conversation and were about to leave, so they stopped hearing and he closed his laptop. He paid the bill and they both went outside. Gon supported Master Song as he was a little drunk. When he came outside, a man was standing near the exit. He excused that man. That man was wearing a black jacket and cap and must be waiting for his friend. He was almost tall as him. That man apologized and moved aside, "Sorry." Gon looked at him since this cold voice felt familiar. He was about to take
