Chapter 44

The bodyguard yanked Tae out of the way, causing everyone in the office to look toward the door.

When Jungkook recognized Tae’s slender figure, he got up from his seat and said, “What are you doing here?”

Tae shook off the bodyguard’s grip once again, smoothed his clothes, and walked into the office.

“I’m here to see Professor Hough,” he said, then looked curiously at Jungkook and asked, “Are you here to see him, too?”

Professor Hough examined the two, then adjusted his glasses, and asked, “Do you two know each other?”

Tae was about to tell the professor that they were acquaintances, but Jungkook was one step ahead of him.” Professor, please keep the matter we talked about private.”

“Of course,” answered the professor. “It’s doctor-patient confidentiality.”

“I’ll be off, then,” Jungkook said.

The professor nodded in response.

Jungkook turned toward the exit. When he walked past Tae, he glanced at him, but said nothing and walked out.

Tae was a little stunned.

Why did he not answer his question?

What mysterious conversation did he have with the professor? What secret was he trying to hide?

“Are you here to see me, Mister?” asked the professor, refocusing Tae’s attention on him. “I have to leave in about ten minutes.

Did you have a question to ask me?”

Tae immediately pulled out the documents he had prepared and said, “I’m sorry for bothering you, professor. My name is Kim Taehyung, and I’m a senior in the medical college here at Avonsville. This is a paper I wrote on some of your previous clinical cases. I got all of the information online, and since there weren’t many details on the internet, I had to come to my own conclusion for a lot of the cases. I was hoping that you could take a look at it and let me know if there are any errors.”

Professor Hough took the document from Tae’s hands and began to sift through it.

Once Jungkook was in the car, he glanced over at the administrative building.

Was Taehyung a medical student?

From what he knew, he was an art student. Was the report he received incorrect?

He pulled out his phone and called Jung-su.

“Jung-su, the background check you did on Tae before stated that he was an art student, but what is he doing in medical school?”

“He is, in fact, an art student. I confirmed it with the university myself.”

“I bumped into him at the medical department.”

“Do you mean the medical department at Avonsville University?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll look into it right away,” Jung-su said, then added after a brief pause, “I’ve sent you the reservations for the recital. It’s going to be at 4 p.m. today.”

“Got it.”

Moments later, Jung-su called Jungkook back after checking out the news on Taehyung.

“Mr. Jeon, Miss Kim is majoring in arts and minoring in medicine.”

“I see.”

“I didn’t expect him to be that impressive.”

Jungkook hung up.

That noon, Tae met Dohee at a restaurant close to campus for lunch.

Once they were seated, Dohee passed the menu to Tae and said, “You’ve really changed, Tae. You used to come out every single time I asked you out, but last night was the first time in forever that we have gone out together, but you left faster than the speed of light. What’s going on?”

“Dohee, was the party last night a singles event?” Tae asked.

“It was! What’s up?”

“Don’t invite me to parties like that again in the future. I’m not single at the moment.” “What?!” Dohee exclaimed. “Didn’t you just break up not too long ago? How did you move on so quickly?”
