ISLAMy hands are shaking in the middle of looking at my phone. I'm late for the class since thirty minutes have passed after the embarrassment that Min-hyuk caused me.“Isn't this just marvelous?” I questioned as I glared at him.“I told you I didn't do it on purpose. I wasn't trying to peep at you,” he explained. “I was just there because Lav was called by the professor and she asked me to bring you what you needed.”“I think you should still apologize, Min-hyuk.” I heard Su-bin.“I’m sorry, Isla. Believe me, I wasn’t trying to be a pervert. I hope you won’t think of me like that just because I apologized to you,” Min-hyuk continued explaining.I let out a sigh as I turned my head down on top of the table. I wanted to go home…“OMG, OMG!” We got distracted after hearing someone screaming and running, only to see Lav doing it. She rushed towards us before catching her breath.“What happened? What did the profes
ISLA"I like you so much that it drives me crazy…"ONE MONTH LATERI woke up early in the morning after receiving continuous message notifications on my phone. As soon as I slightly got up from bed, I tried to check the messages and already felt exhausted after seeing almost fifty messages.Twenty messages from the multimedia arts course group chat and thirty messages from my group chat with Lav, Min-hyuk, and Su-bin which was created just for the project collaboration.I decided to open the group chat with Lav since I need to communicate with them after stupidly agreeing to become the model for their high-graded fashion project.[High Fashion GC]LAV: What time are you guys available for the runway rehearsals?MINHYUK: I can't. I have wrestling practice.LAV: Seriously?! Is that more important than our project?MINHYUK: Aren't you supposed to practice your dance with Woo-hyun too?LAV: But the project is way too important!Gosh.
ISLADay one of SADI's sports festival finally arrived and as for the opening event, the event moderators decided to do a couple's dance battle to begin the competition. It was announced that there will be three genres for the dance: hip-hop, interpretative, and pop. In each genre, there will be representative pairs from their teams. To begin with, the SADI Violet, which is the team I belong to, has Myung-soo and Nana for the hip-hop genre, Woo-hyun and Lav for the pop genre, and lastly Min-hyuk and me for the interpretative genre.For the SADI Gold, they have Jae-hwan and Yun-ha for the hip-hop, Mizuki and Minerva for the pop, and Hak-yeon and Na-bi for the interpretative one. I can't believe I'll be going against her all of a sudden."How are you feeling right now, girl?" I looked at Nana who approached me and gave me a bottle of water.I took it from her, placing it on my lap. "I feel so nervous right now. I can't seem to find Min-hyuk anywhere.""What woul
JI-HOON“Have you prepared for the shootout penalty kick competition later, Ji-hoon?” I glanced at Taek-woon who was wandering around inside the office while I’m in the middle of sending emails.“What is there to prepare anyways?” I asked him while looking at the monitor. “We were chosen for that category. Don’t you think we should do our best?” He asked.“Tell that to Eun-woo. He’s always busy on his own,” I commented.“How long have you guys been half brothers? You shouldn’t continue with these cold treatments. Believe in the saying blood is thicker than water,” he continued.I glanced at him again and saw him sitting on the sofa already, looking at me. I smirked at him before continuing my job.“What if the blood was mixed with water?” I questioned him based on what he just told me earlier.I heard him chuckle. “You’re so impossible, Ji-hoon.”It took me a few more minutes before finishing my task for the day as the SADI’s president. After that, Ta
ISLAToday is the day for the fashion department's runway presentation. The organizer said that the attire presented will be put up in an auction which means I would also be taking part in that event.All the models including me were asked to stay in a single room in order to prepare. Lav and Min-hyuk were preparing and tidying the attire I'm going to wear while Su-bin has been preparing the makeup kits. He called me to sit on the stool in front of the vanity makeup table since he will be the one to do my makeup. Actually, it was supposed to be Lav but since she is needed more when it comes to the attire, she let Su-bin handle it.It was kind of awkward now that I'm facing Su-bin while he was in the middle of looking at the variety of makeup sets on the table. We haven't really hung out after the last time we participated in a dance performance."Is there anything you would like to try amongst these eyeshadows? Like something you prefer based on the colors," Su-b
EUN-WOOA few minutes before the auction could even start, I met up with Soo-jin in the hall and she was assisting the famous South Korean fashion designer, Kaye Lee, who flew all the way from New York just to attend the events today.Since my father won't be able to attend the auction today, he gave me the responsibility to do so. He also said that it would be my punishment for hitting Ji-hoon who was now staying in the penthouse and doesn't want to go to SADI for a while."Eun-woo!" Before I could even take my seat, Soo-jin called my attention and she approached me together with Kaye.I smiled at Kaye in courtesy. "It's nice to see you today, Ms. Lee."She nodded at me with a smile too. "You can just call me Kaye."I nodded at her quietly."By the way, I didn't see Mr. Woo-jin here. Will he be attending the event?" Kaye questioned us."Oh." Soo-jin took the responsibility to respond to her. "He's been busy with the company lately.""I see."
ISLAOh my god! What did I do? What did I JUST do?! I can't believe I kissed Eun-woo. I can't believe I kissed my stepbrother!I am sprinting right now, rushing out of the lecture room after the awkward thing that occurred between Eun-woo and me. Why did I do that?! Am I out of my mind?I ran and ran, ignoring whoever I passed by even though they were already calling my name. I have to get out of this place. I cannot afford to look at Eun-woo after what happened between us!I would rather die!Eventually, I left SADI without notice and was still wearing the attire made by Lav. I’ll just return it tomorrow. As I completely got out of the university’s main gate, I accidentally bumped into someone who immediately caught my arm when I was about to fall out of balance.It was Mizuki who was looking at me curiously. “Isla?”We both ended up having a normal conversation inside The Rolling Pin bakery. It wasn’t really that awkwa
ISLA“HEY, ISLA!”I surprisingly woke up and noticed that I fell asleep in Ji-hoon's car on the way to SADI. I looked at him and he looked a bit worried as he checked on me.I groaned in full embarrassment. “It was just a nightmare…”“What happened? Are you okay?” Ji-hoon asked me.I smiled at him awkwardly. “I’m fine. I just had one of the most realistic nightmares.”“Tell me about it,” he said.I remained to stare at him before laughing awkwardly. “No. I would rather keep it to myself.”“Okay, then. By the way, we’re already here in SADI.”I looked outside the window of his car and we really are in the parking area of SADI. I hope that scary nightmare won’t happen to me in reality today. Please…After getting out of Ji-hoon’s car, I immediately ran to the department building, and at the moment, I didn’t notice anyone looking at me suspiciously. Thank goodness!I went to put my stuff
