CHAPTER 10: SAFE & SOUND
ISLA
"It feels good to be lost in the right direction…"
FLASHBACK
The sound of the pouring rain accompanied by the sound of the ambulance siren woke me up, making me feel the pain all over my body. I cannot move my hands and my feet.
My eyes caught the sight of my dad who is a few meters away from me. That’s when I realized we were in a car accident, but he was out on the road while I’m still under the car that went upside down.
“D-Dad…” I tried calling him even though my voice was fainting. I don’t have the strength to call him out loud.
I felt stuck and suffocated while staring at him, who is not even showing any kind of movement.
PRESENT TIME
I opened my eyes as soon as I awoke because of someone gently caressing my head. I also noticed that I am laying down with my head on his shoulder. But, who even is this person with me right now?
“You’re awake. How are

EUN-WOO "If you stay positive in a negative situation, you win…" Tomorrow will be Chereen's birthday… which is also the 4th year anniversary since her death. I took half a day from working at the company before heading straight to SADI, a few minutes before lunch. Nana kept on bothering me in our group chat to attend the pointless orientation event, that's why I had no choice but to come. Since I haven't had lunch yet, I went straight to the cafeteria to meet up with them. They already ordered their lunch and I was the only one left with nothing to eat. There are a lot of students lined up at the service station, that's why I decided to wait for them to finish first. "So, what's our plan for the orientation later?" Myung-soo opened up. "A group activity should be included to help our freshmen form a bond." "I think so too. It should be exciting as well," Nana said. "The activities should also be the way of making friends and building trust, don't you
Rules of A Forbidden Romance CHAPTER 12: FRIEND & ENEMY
ISLA"It's scary to think that your enemy was once your friend…"I HATE HIM.I REALLY HATE HIM.I obeyed his rules and everything he asked me not to do, but here he is dragging me away from the guy who just kissed me. I mean, I don't see it as a big deal for him to even think about!As soon as we both arrived at the parking lot of SADI where his car was parked, I aggressively removed my arm from his grip which made him stop in his tracks before looking at me."What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I asked him madly."Shouldn't I be the one to ask you that?! Oh?!" He raised his voice at me. "Out of all the guys in this place, why does it have to be Mizuki Ishikawa?!"I suddenly got speechless after hearing Eun-woo speak Mizuki's name. Does it mean he knows him?"H-How did you know his name?" I stammered, trying to understand what was happening."I'm the one who is supposed to ask you that. How do y
Rules of A Forbidden Romance CHAPTER 13: PAST & PRESENT
ISLA"When the past becomes the present, you’ll lose the future…"Since I was in the corner near the wall and windows, there happens to be a vacant seat on my left side. That’s where Eun-woo was sitting now. But, why would he even want to sit right next to me? Isn’t he supposed to be a loner?While he was busy taking out some stuff in his bag, I noticed the majority of the students inside the room looking at us like we were some kind of couple. It’s making me uncomfortable. I looked to the front and re-focused myself on what I was doing earlier.“What do you think you’re doing?” My voice was just above a whisper so that it was only him that could hear what I was saying.“What do you mean?” He responded to me with the same volume of voice.“It doesn’t matter. Just don’t talk to me,” I told him.“You are good at drawing a cherry blossom tree,” I heard from him. “It is strangely beautiful.”I can’t believe he’s still talking to me even though I alre
Rules of A Forbidden Romance CHAPTER 14: LOVE & HATE
ISLA"If people would love with the intensity they used to hate, the world would be a better place…"In the middle of my search for Lav's whereabouts, I accidentally encountered Eun-woo again. But, this time he was with Minerva Kim together with Nana, Woo-hyun, and Myung-soo. How on earth did they all know each other?“Oh, Isla!” Nana called me as the rest looked at me. “Would you like to join us for lunch? We're still looking for a table.”I stared at them for a few seconds before coming up with a response. “I already have a table.”“Even better,” Eun-woo said coldly before walking ahead of us. Wait, what?! That’s not what I mean!I quickly run to continue looking for Lav instead of accompanying them to our table. When I finally found her near the service station, I snatched her away and luckily she was already done getting her lunch tray.“We need to talk!” “Hey, careful. The soup is hot,” she warned me and I

EUN-WOO"You're my one in a million, you're more than a billion…"SIX YEARS AGO“Eun-woo,” she called me. “Promise me that one day, you will bring the most important person in your life to an ice skating rink.”I smirked after listening to what she said. “And why?”“It is believed that if you walk on ice in a dream, the dream could indicate taking too many risks and jeopardizing the person’s safety in some way,” she explained. “So, I want you to be there to protect whoever is walking on that ice.”“That's ridiculous, Chereen.” I scoffed. “And who believes that?”“I believe in it.” I glanced at her and she was just staring at me. At that time, I thought she was fooling around with what she was trying to tell me. Little did I know, she was being serious… which happened to be one of the signs of her leaving.“You believe in what I believe in too, right?”PRESENT TIMEHere I am now, stand
Rules of A Forbidden Romance CHAPTER 16: INNOCENT & SEXY
ISLA"Innocent until proven naughty and sexy…"It's in the middle of the night which is supposed to be cold and chilling, but I felt hot instead. It's like someone's lying next to me since the warm feeling seemed to come from body heat. So, I decided to open my eyes to check why I feel so hot and when I turned to the other side of my bed, Eun-woo was lying on his side, facing me while his upper body was naked.What the hell is he doing here on the same bed as me? Why is he even naked? And most importantly, why is my heart beating fast by just looking at him?My hand automatically moved, trying to slowly reach out and touch his bare shoulder. Then, his eyes opened, and glared at me. I quickly took away my hand and got up from the bed to escape from him after getting caught red-handed. But, as soon as I got up, he suddenly pulled me back and laid me on the bed before going over my body.“AHHHHH!!!” I screamed as I quickly got up from my bed
Rules of A Forbidden Romance CHAPTER 17: BROTHER & SISTER
ISLAQuietness surrounded Ji-hoon and me while staying inside the office in SADI. It’s a good thing he didn’t even care about why I came here out of the blue because there’s no way I would tell him about my dream which included Eun-woo in it. He might find it weird and think of me as a pervert.When the time for the class was already finished, I put back the tablet inside my bag and cleaned up. Then, I took out my pastel-colored cardigan from the bag before wearing it since the wind is cold during the night.“Are you going straight home now?” I heard Ji-hoon ask me.“Yes. My mom asked if I could help her prepare the dinner for tonight,” I replied. “How about you?”“I’ll be home late. I still need to do something regarding the university’s financial reports submitted by the accounting officer for the last three months,” he explained.I put down my bag on the sofa as I tried to approach him on his desk. “Does that mean you won’t be able to join us for dinn

ISLAToday is Saturday and I’m glad SADI doesn’t force their students to wear the uniform. It’s like freedom day and our bodies could finally breathe comfortably.In the middle of yawning, I caught a glimpse of Su-bin waiting in front of The Rolling Pin bakery. I stopped in my tracks as I watched him standing there quietly.Then, I remembered my conversation last night with Eun-woo while we were hanging out inside my bedroom. I don’t even know why he stayed there even after I had already finished my dinner. But, he eventually was the one who helped me to dry my hair with a hair blower. “You know, after what happened earlier, I think I prefer it more if you date Moon Su-bin instead of Mizuki…”I went back to reality when someone called me and saw Lav after she suddenly clung to my right arm. “Good morning, my beautiful lady!”I smiled at her. “Good morning, Lav.”“How have you been lately? Gosh, I missed you so much. Our schedules have been clashing,
