"Every end is a new beginning." Final installment.😊❤️

Eun Jae started narrating her long kept secret.

Eun Jae threw her pen in frustration. She looked at the digital clock in her table and 3 am was staring right at her. She'd been at this subject for quite a while and still she always found something amiss.

If only HE were here. She refused to say his name because she'd be transported back to THAT day again and she'd be flustered just thinking about it.

She hated the fact that now she couldn't ask for his help let alone look at him straight. Why did he have to kiss her? Now she's thinking about it again! She had already spent too many nights rationalizing and analyzing that kiss.

Her head was once again filled with questions. Why did he have to do that? Did he really just do that to take her mind from what happened to her at the lab? Although it actually did take her mind off the lab incident that she couldn't care less that it happened now. Was that why he was so blasé about it?

These questions have been plaguing her head for days and seemed that there was no end to it. But one thing that had been bothering her was that somehow she felt quite alone and empty without him.

Despite his standoffish attitude he had always been patient with her, despite her penchant for lateness he had never once stood her up, Despite his rough exterior he was always gentle with her.

she also couldn't help thinking that he always knew how to make things easy for her, how to calm her nerves and the result was that she always ended up nailing all of her tests.

And on top of it the man was easy on the eyes. There were moment she found herself staring at those perfectly arched eyebrows, his straight nose and sculpted jawline and she'd sometimes get lost watching those lips talking or sporting his signature smirk.

Suddenly at 3am in the morning sitting on her desk filled with books and unfinished paperworks that needed her attention something clicked in her head and she could feel her heart beating rapidly in her chest.

Did this mean she liked the cold, annoying, unapproachable, and arrogant Seo Woo Jin?

She almost fell off her chair. Damn it! What now?

Over the next few days she was in dilemma what to do about it. She realized she may know his personality but she didn't really know much about his personal life. Was he dating anybody? Did he atleast liked kissing her? Because despite the confusion she felt with his surprised attack he made her toes curled and her fingers twitched and it only happened when she's eating her favorite food or doing her favorite things.

She tried listening to conversations involving him and she would perk up every time his name came up. Then it finally happened. One afternoon the girls behind her table in the library was talking about him which wasn't unusual but this time they were talking about something interesting.

"Hey do you guys know Min Yeona?" Girl one asked.

"Is that the transfer student in our Biochem class that the boys had been talking about?" Another girl asked.

"Yes! Apparently she had her eyes on Seo Woo Jin." Girl one said excitedly.

Eun Jae's heart was racing now. Who is this girl? Why can't she remember her face and why did they have to be in the library? She could barely hear them talking. She quietly moved her chair back some more to listen to the conversation going on.
