"I'm all ears," Yunho said

Both Yunho and Yubin took a seat under the swinging chair with vines growing on it

"School is probably the safest place for me to eat, at home my family wants to hold a high standard to not only education but appearance as well," Yubin starts

"Safe but not the safest, the people here like to walk around me, sometimes I have my peace where they aren't breathing near my neck but I can hear whispers and murmurs, I constantly have eyes on me, goddess they called, more like an orgher, ok no, just that this whole thing is a facade," She said

"I want to eat a burger, a lollipop, a whole strawberry birthday cake."

"I want that, eating outside means the public eye is watching me, eating here means the school is watching me, it's... I need a break," She sighs as a teardrop rolls off her face

"Well you can eat here, eat as much food as you want and as ugly as you want, no judgments here when I'm around, I'm like the ozone layer protecting the earth," Yunho said

She laughs "Thanks," She wipes her tears

"What are you majoring in? I don't think I've seen you, this is the Science department," Yubin asked, curious

"Dance and I can ask you the same thing, the Cupid's office usually has a lot of people, aren't you in education?" He questioned

"Yes, next to the Cupid's office is a corner and I like eating there 'cause it's quiet, sometimes they'll be a lot of people waiting for Yeji."

"But at this timing, there won't be people walking around, Yeji was the only one who knew I liked eating chocolate, she would give me some of hers too," Yubin said

"Like a secret friend, we don't talk when there are people but do when we're are alone," She said

"You were in Cupid's office?" Yubin questioned

He nods "I'm her secretary, she has to update a lot of things every month so a secretary was what she needed."

She nodded "Anyways, I'm telling you this cause you look trustworthy and you've seen me devouring that piece of chocolate, I do hope your looks don't deceive me," She said

"I'll keep it a secret don't worry."

Actually this one whole week Yeonjun has never seen Yeji at all. She has been pretty preoccupied with clients wanting advice, group report submission on her father was a hassle for some reason and having an exam which causes her to stay in the library for hours.

"Yeji," Someone whispered shout

She looks up "Yunho? long time no see."

"How's everything?" He asked

"Awful... the exam has way too many things on physics that I cannot cope with."

"Well you are in astrophysics, and you've always done well, hello? 4.0 gpa?? You were part of the dean's list for 3 years straight," Yunho said

"You knew?"

"Of course, your office had your achievements on display, I always see you at that darn poster at our campus entrance," He said

"But how are you and Yeonjun?"

"Err we haven't been communicating, I mean he has but I haven't, I told him I was busy with all of this," Yeji said, pointing at the scattered papers

"But look at you, you need rest," Yunho said

"I do but I can't, I have another session with Jongho to see if there's progress," She sighs

"Can I join?"

"Yeah, you can."

The Next Day, Wednesday

The Cupid's Office

"Hey Jongho, how was it? I told Dami about it, she was mad that I accidentally exposed her feelings but got over it... I hope," Yeji bites her lip

"She did, I told her about it and she said it was all behind, her feelings for me were over," Jongho said

"So.. you and Juha?" She asked

"There's progress! I asked her to go to the movies with me."

Yeji nods "Alright great... I like the sound of that."

"You can go now, and enjoy your little date."

As Jongho opens the door to exit the office, Yeji sees Yubin peering in.

Yunho sees her and quickly hides

"What-" "Yubin's here" he whispers shouts, hiding behind the heart-shaped couch

Yeji then looks at the door still opened wide with Yubin at the other side

"Oh, hi Yubin, wanna eat here?" Yeji asked

"No actually, I want to talk about something right now."

Yeji gives Yunho a side eye "Yeah sure, take a seat."

"How many requests have I received?" Yubin asked

"Hey Siri, how many requests have I gotten on Kang Yubin?"

"You have received 32 requests, all declined except-" "Ok Siri thank you." Yeji hurriedly said

"Except-" "Why do you want to know how many requests you've gotten?" Yeji interrupts her

"Did you have a lot of clients here yesterday?" Yubin questioned

"Yes...?"

"Your Secretary... what's his name?"

Yeji furrowed "Did he not introduce himself?" She asked herself

"Yunho, Jeong Yunho," Yeji said "Why?"

"I felt comfortable around him."

"Why is that?" Yeji asked

"I talked to him about my family and school life, he was willing to hear me out even though we never talked prior to this," Yubin explains

"It was magical, cringy but have you met someone you're so comfortable with?" Yeji sees her eyes sparkle as she talked about him

She smiles "I did a good job rejecting Wooyoung and San's request," Yeji said in her head

"Do you need help then?" Yeji asked

"Yes!" Yubin stood up and took Yeji's hands

Yeji chuckles "Okay"

Yubin sat back down "How much?" Taking out her card

"Oh, it's free don't worry and anyways I might not succeed but have faith in me alright?" Yeji said

Yubin smiles and nods
