MASKS (Pent House 1&2)

Karma

Seokhoon dreaded going over to Ms. Cheon's house to study with Eun Byeol given how uncomfortable she made him studying with her was the least thing he wanted to do.

But because their tutor suggested they pair up together he had no other option. Upon arriving at Ms Cheong's residence he made his way to Eun Byeol's room as he had being instructed.

He opened the door walking in on a unusual sight. "What are you doing? Why are the lights off. Where is Ms. Jin?"

"Don't turn them on." Suddenly Eun Byeol stood up from her bed and embraced him. "I can't wait any longer. Show me how you feel about me."

Seokhoon's eyes widened in realization upon taking the gravity of the situation ; the candle lights and her words. 

He pushed her away from him."what are you doing?" He turned to leave.

"Joo Seokhoon! You can't leave me like that."

"What are you doing then?" He turned around, "we are supposed to be studying together and sharing the tutor. That's it."

Coming over had been a mistake from the beginning, "if you're going to do that we should drop the tutoring. Don't ever call me up. "

"Promise me you won't get shaken up by Bae Rona."

Seokhoon sighed exasperated with her antics , "there's nothing between me and Rona. What I felt for her passed and I'll make it clear to you if I like someone it's not your business Eun Byeol."

Eun Byeol didn't like the sound of that. She was slowly grinding her teeth. "If you don't like Rona. Is there someone else."

The first thing that came to Seokhoon's mind was Jamie's handsome smiling face back at the restaurant . How the older boy laughed had been memorised in his head.

He just looked at Eun Byeol with a pokerface that didn't reflect his inner feelings.  "there is no one but that doesn't mean I'll like you. We're about to be step siblings after all." Seokhoon then left her place not bothering to look at her at all.

He later  laid on his bed going through Jamie's Instagram. He was basically his sister's nephew in a way but he couldn't help it. He had been attracted to Jamie the moment he met him in the mall.

Ever since his mom passed , he immediately lost his romantic interest in Rona. After her death and his father's affair now turned relationship with Ms. Cheon alot had happened that romantic interest didn't seem to have a place in his current life.

But then he met Jamie at the mall. A guy older and taller than him but with the most sincerest eyes he had ever met who didn't understand Hangul.  At first glance , Jamie appeared intimidating but Seokhoon found him the opposite.

"He seems to like playing basketball alot." He observed alot of the posts were about the post.

Jamie  Lee was from playing basketball . He could hear his aunt practicing her singing  . He wasn't a fan of opera or anyiny musical but she Definitely had a talent and powerful voice. He clapped for her.

"Bravo."

Seol turned around and smiled at the compliment  , "thank you."

The two made themselves comfortable before Seol decided to inquire."Jamie. What do you want to do? Before we left the States you once said you were picking a college. Have you decided what you want to study."

"I don't know Aunt Anna." Although she was basically younger than him by a year he held alot of respect , "uncle Logan needs help with running the company."

"But is it what you yourself want?'

Jamie looked at her curiously understanding her intention behind the question "how did you know you wanted to get into ," he pointed at the posters of the famous Opera singers and Seoul University of music .
