2. How Firmly You Hold Your...

"And rest we will continue in the next lecture, that's it for today." by saying this the professor ended the last lecture of that day.

Adjusting her glasses with her finger, Su Yeon woke up from her dream. It was not a dream but a memory of some years ago.

"I truly envy people like you who shamelessly sleep during lecture and still score O grade(1)!" with a thud, Min Seong, Su Yeon's deskmate and best friend in university, started keeping books in her bag.

Kim Min Seong is a 5'6 ft tall, smart, confident, and straight forward yet well-behaved person. Her long, jet-black hair and honey-colored skin compliment her personality.

Yan Su laughed at both of them. Oh Yan Su has the same height as Min Seong and a delicate snow-white skin. She is also a ballet dancer. The trio studies in the same class of the senior year, majoring in business and finance at Imperial Business University.

And lastly our little dwarf Yoon Su Yeon. She is a simple because she hates complicated things, is lazy and introverted but a fun-loving girl, a bit nerdy but likes to sleep in the lecture. In short, at least she thinks that she is simple but almost everyone thinks that she is complicated.

Su Yeon started thinking about that dream. Why this long-forgotten memory suddenly popped up now? She has already forgotten that day and that mysterious silver masked man. Why now?

The three of them went to a nearby cafe to have brunch. Su Yeon went near the counter to order. "Hey!" A boy who has the same height as Su Yeon came to her. He was one of their classmates.

He collected his drink and went to her saying "I need your guidance." Because he was rushing to her, he stumbled and was about to drop his drink.

Su Yeon caught both drink and him and said "Hey hey, be careful. How can you hold your glass so loosely, I wonder how firmly you hold your..." She paused.

The customers in front and back of her also paused.

Customer 1: Jesus!...

The person who was standing behind her also paused and smirked.

"Cash or card?"

Customer 1 who was standing before Su Yeon came out of thought and gave cash to the counter.

Su Yeon continued, "... I wonder how firmly you hold your brush while doing calligraphy. See that's why you face problems in it."

She once again looked here and there to find that person. She stopped a moment ago because she felt a certain someone's presence familiar. She thought that she knows that person but don't know who it is!

She saw that the person in front of her looks a bit familiar. She stopped a moment ago because she felt his presence familiar. The tall, well-built back of that man, the white coat in his hand and the faint smell of anesthetic indicating that he is from the medical field, felt familiar like someone she knows.

Maybe he is indeed familiar or maybe she is perverted??

Su Yeon shrugged off that thought. She happily talked with her friend, gave the order and then went to her table. "Su Yeon ah, now everything depends upon you. We did our best in theoretical aspects. Now you have to present our business model in your way," Min Seong said. Su Yeon opened her laptop and checked the email of the presentation Min Seong sent just now.

Looking at Su Yeon's smirk, Min Seong realized that something weird has started cooking inside her mind, so she declared, "Su Yeon ah, for god's sake, please keep the presentation simple and perfect. If you want, we will give witty answers at the critics round!" Min Seong sighed and laughed when Su Yeon gave a cheeky smile. 

This is how things work between them. Yan Su and Min Seong look after theoretical matters like writing theory, lecture notes, etc. while Su Yeon does calculations, doubt solving, and presentation work. The trio happily chatted and went in their ways.

...

On the other hand, the young man who was standing before her was trying his best not to look back. He went towards his table and started talking with the person sitting in front of him.

He realized that from this angle, the girl could easily see him so he said, "Professor, if you don't mind, can you please exchange seats with me? Ahh... actually I can't resist the direct flow of the air conditioner," while pointing towards the air conditioner. 

The man who was sitting with him nodded with a confused face and exchanged the seats with him.

After exchanging the seats, the man realized something and thought, 'Did he exchanged seats because of that girl... probably not,'

This thought made him sad and a bit disappointed, 'Yes right, they don't even know each other... Stupid me, here I thought maybe he will recognize her and they will at least become friends... but now, I have to accept that they are not the people I am looking for...' He looked at both the young man in front of him and the girl sitting few seats behind him, who talking happily with her friends.

He froze when he accidentally made eye contact with the girl. 'Is she... looking for him...?' and like that the extreme sorrow in his heart was immediately replaced by curiosity. He squinted his eyes to see the familiar ID card and got surprised, 'Imperial Business University?... I finally got a lead!'
