Jungkook tapped his fingers. He was almost certain he had seen the boy before. He had great memories so he could not be wrong. He glanced to your table. You were typing the file he asked you earlier.


"Y/n, come to my office."

"Is there something you want me to do, Mr Jeon?" You asked formally. He had been looking at you weirdly for some time. You pretend not to notice but it was getting hard to ignore his intense gaze.


"I think I remember your friend from that time." He said.

"And?" You were confused.

"I think he is Mr Jung's eldest son. Jung Hoseok? Is it him?" He knew their family. Even there was no business between their families. The Jung family clan was old money. They had a reputation.


"Yes." He was Jung Hoseok and his dad should be Mr Jung. What's with it?



"He is Jung Enterprise. You know that company." That gigantic corporation. Their stuff was everywhere.


"He can not be." Hobi never talked about his family, but he could not be an heir from the Jung Enterprise. He got a scholarship and drove an old car for God's sake.


"I'm sure it's him. I can't be wrong." That was also true. Mr Jeon was never wrong.
The more you thought about it.. the more you were convinced Mr Jeon was right. There was always something weird about his friendship with Yoongi and Yerin. How well they bonded.

You only knew they had been friends for a long time. How could they be friends if Hobi was not from the same circle.. Hobi punched Yoongi on his face but he could get away easily with it. You never questioned how his parents could cover tuition funds from a hella expensive university when his car broke down numerous times.

Why? Why did he pretend to be poor?You would not understand how rich people think. Should you confront him about it? What should you ask him?

I heard you are the heir from Jung Enterprise.

Not once Yerin or Yoongi mentioned him being an heir from a wealthy family. He only wears simple clothes daily. They were not branded stuff. Hobi has always treated you nicely..

Did he purposely hide his identity? He didn't want people to know he was the son of one of the richest men in the country? You were baffled.. You thought the distance between you and him were close, it turned out, it was all only in your imagination.

"Oh, Y/n, did you come to take the form for next term?" The administration officer handed them to you. You smile at her. You had to reapply this every term, "Yes, thank you."
"Have you seen Jung Hoseok? I have to give his form too, he will be paid full next term." You bit your lips. Guilty. Or not because now you know had rich daddy.


"Not yet." Your heart was bitter again.


"Alright, could you tell him to come to the office later?" She asked.


"Okay." You were not as excited as before to meet him.


"That boy was the weirdest. I heard from the professor that he did not submit his last presentation. His marks were excellent, he was the one who suppose to accept the scholarship." "Oh, you might feel bad." She rubbed her temple.


"I did two presentations."


"Oh, yes! I heard about that too." Her smile was not as sincere as before, "Good job.."
You left the office with more complicated feelings. How much did he hide from you? Rich family, not submitting his presentation after you offered him fair competition. Did it mean he believed you wouldn't win against him? How arrogant of him..


"Y/n-nie!" Yerin was looking for you everywhere. Tomorrow she will leave for Europe with her parents. Yoongi won't be coming with them. He had plans with Taehyung or so, you heard. Rich kids went on holiday and you went to work. At least you could learn something new from Mr Jeon.


"Hi.." You greeted her back. She matched the steps with you.


"You don't seem happy." She could read you like the back of her hands now.


"Yerin, do you know Hobi is the son from Jung Enterprise?" You asked. You could not keep it in your heart anymore.


"Where did you hear that?" She did not expect you to ask about it.


"Is it true?" Your eyebrows knitted together.


"Um.. yes.. Sorry, he did not allow me to tell.." He hid his identity from everyone. Only small people realize who he was.


"..." Your mind could not think of anything.


"Are you angry?" She asked.


"Why? Why did he pretend to be a common person?" He misled you to something you think you had but ended up throwing you to the ground. With a hurting butt.


"I don't know either.. He told us he left the house before college entrance.."She was telling the truth."So I was the only one who didn't know..?"


"Around us, yes.. I think... Y/n, are you angry?" She asked again. You did not look okay with it."Alright.." You put high hopes for nothing.. It was not his fault, Hobi was always nice to everyone. So what if he is nice to you too.It ain't special.


"Oh, the two of you are here. Wait for me a bit, I'll grab my form in the administration office." Hobi met the two of you in the hallway


Yerin watched your expression carefully, "We will wait." She answered since you did not say anything. You didn't even see his face.


Hobi noticed your expression was not good. He hurriedly went to the office so he could console you.


"I will go back first.. Happy holiday, Yerin-an, safe flight tomorrow." You did not wait for her reply and walked ahead first. Why were you running away? You were friends with Yerin and Taehyung too, they were rich as hell too. But why did it bother you to find Hobi was rich just like them? Why would you ever be surprised at this point?Hobi came back to see Yerin alone.


"Where is Y/n?""She knew you were the son of the Jung Enterprise owner. I did not know how."
