Just The Way You Are

Chapter 8

"No need to, Auntie. I can commute" Eul refuses. But, Ms.Wang insist he and sky come together to the school as sky's personal driver will drove them. "Nope, you're going together with sky today, Eul".

Eul sight in defeated. "Just go with sky, Eul. I don't see any wrong with it" Mr.Wang joined in as he walks approaching the three of them. "Now, come on, Eul. You don't want to be late, don't you?". Sky Walks in behind as pushed him outside, bid goodbye to her parents.

"He's such a good kid, hia" Kuea said as she watches them leaves. Kuea having a second thought of 'what if Eul is their son', kuea smiles out of her thoughts. She'll be happy if that happens.

"But, not for our daughter" Lian said a little bit bitter. Kuea side eyed him, a sharp gaze of death Lian saw through her eyes which he feared the most about his wife. A deep and big gulp he made, it shivers down to his spines. Lian abruptly hugged her behind pampering her with love as he comfort her also.

"What do you mean, hia?" Kuea questioned him, frowning and squinting her eyes on him. "What I mean is..." Lian pauses. Luckily, his memory is still sharp and not a forgettable person. "Our sky isn't into him" he reasoned.

He's not wrong, I guess?

Kuea rolled her eyes as much as she don't want to believe him, her husband still has a point. They both know their daughter's crush is even if she hadn't told them about HIM yet, based on how they saw her looked at him and attitude towards that boy but at the same time, she and that boy haven't confessed their feelings. Yes, sky's parents knows that both of them liked each other yet they're too shy to spill the truth and blind to see. Plus, that guy already gain their trust IF they ended up together. So, he better love and take care of sky.

"Tsk. You had escape from this but next time, you won't" kuea leave still frowning. Lian sight in relief then follows trailing her behind as he called out her wife's name. "Kuea, my love!"

>At School<

>Principal's Office<

"I am sorry, Mr. But I can't let you continue to study here, it will be unfair to others if I do" Told the principal to him. "The registrar reported you for not paying your this year's tuition fee" she added. "I had scholarship here, ma'am. My scholarship should cover up my financial expenses" Eul said. "That's my scholarship are used for" he adds on.

"I understand you. But You always got involved into trouble, Mr. I can't let someone like you to have any scholarship here. If you're willing to continue here, you better pay for your tuition fee. Cause your scholarship can't help you this time" she said. "Many students reported you already"

"But-" Eul waited to protest. "In 1 week, please pay for your tuition fee or else I'll drop you out involuntarily" she ended the conversation, gesturing Eul to leave. But Eul is resisting, begging to her. Eul kneel down as he lowers his head, "please, ma'am"

"Begging won't do help you either. So, please leave or else I'll drop you out now" she threaten. "Ma'am, i-" Eul stopped, right after the door creaks and opened.

Sky with Ms.Wang burst in. They walked beside Eul and says, "I'll pay for his tuition fee. Let this kid stay here" a firm tone of Ms.Wang. "You don't need to do that, Auntie" Eul eyes shaken, he can't let anyone do that for him. Ms.Wang's family already did a big thing for him by letting him live there temporary, Eul don't want to trouble them more.

"If you said so, Ms.Wang"

"I'm sorry for troubling you again, Auntie" Eul said in low tone, he is sorry for what she did for him. "You're not troubling anyone, Eul. And I'm willingly to pay for your tuition for you". Even if, she said so.

Eul is shame of himself; He's rubbish guy who cannot do anything for himself, powerless to defend himself, and always relays on others. Eul can't do anything for himself, even now or before. He's just like what his father told him, USELESS. Now, he knows why his father didn't love him. He can do something for his father.

"I'm so sorry, very sorry, Auntie" Eul wants to cry for being useless. "You shouldn't be, Eul. Didn't I told you? You can relay on us anytime or when you're in need" Ms.Wang comforts Eul as she pulled him into hug. "Study harder as you can but don't pressure yourself. That's how you could repay me, hm?" She brush her thumb into eul's hand.

"I'll be going. Sky take care of Eul for me"

"Let's go?" A joyful and excited tone of sky which enlightens eul's mood. "Hm!"

"I told you he's a scammer. He acts peity infront of sky's mother" He gossip. "He did?" His friend nodded. "What a two face" he dramatically rolled his eyes.

As soon as Eul and sky walked in, all eyes are on him. He's staring at him with resentful glance and judging eyes as if he did something wrong towards them, their eyes darkened more. They kept doing that as Eul search for his seat or after he is seated.

"You almost got late. Did something happen again?" Pai asked. "Did they bully you?" He adds on. "No, they didn't" sky answers. "Then what?" Phayu said, rejoining with them. "Eul almost got drop out from here. How weird his scholarship disappeared out of no where"

"Did they she told you why?" Phayu said. "She just said I always gotten into troubles that's why my scholarship vanished" Eul replied. "But you're not the one causing troubles!" Pai exclaimed. "Exactly!" Sky agrees. "Someone is trying to get rid you" phayu furrows his brows, darting to his classmates. "And I suspect one of your bullies" He added. "It could be" Pai said. "from now on, please stay close to us. We don't want you to be hurt anymore" Phayu said with concerning and worried looked.

Eul's ears reddened which he shouldn't be felt towards phayu. One reason; He and Phayu are different in terms of status and living. So, there's no way, that he could stood beside phayu one day. It could only happens inside his imaginations and dreams but not in present time. Only someone worthy for him is able to, that's how all wealthy families do which is very unreasonable, But not for them.
