Amidst The Chaos - In Delusion...?

Chapter 22: Normal Life

A YEAR LATER, 9AM, UNIVERSITY

Last year was a nightmare. I decided to take a gap year given all the drama and start my university studies this year. I enrolled into a course for business since it was the easiest thing to do, Olivia joined me in that. We were both living with my mother, who kindly offered to take us in. She'd told us that we could save up for a house with her wages, so soon, Olivia and I would be living together.

We walked in confidently and sat at the back of the lecture theatre because it was full to the brim, with only two seats remaining next to us. The lecture hadn't started yet.

"Is there space here?" A male voice asks, and Olivia and I turn to him. As I looked, I almost jumped.

"Wait, it's you!" I exclaim, and he shoots me a glare of disgust. He looked familiar, however I couldn't recall his name.

"I know I'm pretty charming, but I'm taken, sorry to break your fragile heart." He then says, and then we hear another voice behind him.

"Hey, Minho, that wasn't very nice." The girl speaks behind him. She's pretty but a bit too skinny. Her body proportions were extremely stunning despite that. He just rolls his eyes at her.

"Don't mind him. He gets a bit too cranky sometimes. Anyway, is there space here, or we could just move -"

"Please, sit down." I then say, moving my bag away and signalling the two.

"By the way, I'm Eunbi." The girl smiles as she takes her seat next to me. Even her side profile was pretty.

"I'm Rosalynne. Nice to meet you." We shake hands, and I see the boy spit out his water and looks at me like he'd seen a ghost.

"What's with him?" I ask Eunbi as she also looks at him confused.

"I don't know either."

"Can we swap seats?" He then asks her and she obediently gets up. Now the boy is sitting next to me.

"Rosalynne Lee... is that your name?"

"Yeah.. why?"

"Oh, I knew you looked like someone. We're cousins, apparently. Father's talked about you a lot. You're really pretty in real life too."

"Wait, you're half Korean?" Olivia nudges me, confused.

"From my father's side, yes." I answer and she looks away before I can talk more.

"Anyways, what was your name again?"

"Minho." I knew him but I kept forgetting his name.

"Your father's a head master, right?"

"Yeah, you could say that. He actually got arrested last year."

"Wait what? Why?"

"Well it's a long boring story..  how is my dear uncle doing these days?" Minho then asks me and I bite my lip, not wanting to tell him.

"Did he just call your dad dear?" Olivia asks me, baffled and I nod in pity.

"Well, if only he knew." She mutters.

"If only I knew what?"

"Well, my dad was also arrested last year." I finally start to speak, and Eunbi turns to us as well, wanting to know.

"Why?"

"Well, that is also a long story. We could talk about it over lunch if you want. You can bring Eunbi too. By the way is she your..."

"Girlfriend? Yeah." He then smirks.

"Who's the pretty girl next to you?"

"Oh her? She's Olivia. We met last year. As friends."
