The auditorium is already full an hour before the start of matriculation ceremony. Everyone seems so excited  except from me. I can hear my heart beat pound. I have never been this nervous in my life. I don't know why I am feeling this way as if something bad will happen. Thank God, I am with Bom right now. I could have passed out if she's not here beside me.

"There!" Bom pointed on the 2 vacant seats she found. At last! I can't remember how many times we roamed the auditorium just to find seats.

We saw a guy slouching on the chair seated beside the vacant seats. His face was covered with a snapback cap and his legs were raised on the armrest between his seat and one of the vacant seats.

"Ya! Could you please sit up? Your long legs are distracting." Bom resented.

The guy slowly raised his cap enough for us to see his face.

"Park Chan Yeol..." I uttered out of surprise.

Our eyes met and my heart beat pounded harder. Holy cow! I thought I will never see him again. There are lots of schools in Seoul... Why do we end up going to the same school. Waeyo?!

I rolled my eyes on him. Ugh! I wish this will be our last encounter. Anyway, HaeU is a huge university with lots of buildings.

I looked at him again and he gave a sinister grin. Why do I always think of the word monster every time I see him?

"You know him? I didn't know you have a good-looking friend." My jaw dropped at Bom. She was just pissed earlier. Now she's beaming.

I want to tell Bom everything that I know about PCY, but his monstrous glare behind his nerdy glasses made me shut my mouth. It's like he will grab my collar anytime I spill the beans.

I was saved by the bell when the matriculation ceremony started.

I looked around on the sea of students gathered inside the auditorium. All were looking smart and well-mannered. Except for PCY...

"We would like to extend our gratitude on choosing Haebaragi University as your gateway to success. We in HaeU are looking forward to honing your fresh ideas and exemplary capabilities."

"Welcome, Freshman Dumbledores! Your bright future starts here."

Everyone stood up and gave a round of applause after the university president ended his speech.

I turned my head to PCY's direction but he's not there. I did not notice him leaving the auditorium. Where did he go?

Wait. Why am I suddenly concerned about him?

After the program has ended, we hurriedly proceed to our first class which will start in 30 minutes. We don't want to be late on our first class, of course.

The room is almost full when we arrived. I froze for a moment but Bom dragged me to the nearest seat.

I just hoped that the professor will be as hot Do Min Joon to relieve my nervousness.

Our professor arrived just in time. No, he isn't as hot as Do Min Joon. He has vibe of a comical person, though. Sociology class will be fun, I thought.

"Oh Mi Chul?"

"Present."

"Park Bom?"

"Present."

"Park Chan Yeol?"

My eyes went wide. Andwae!

"Present."

Hearing that huge voice confirmed that it is PCY.

"Park Sandara?"

"P-present."

I roamed my eyes around to see where is he seating. I was shocked to see that he was just behind me.

I glanced away before he could caught me staring at him.

Eotteoke.

I just focused on what our professor is saying. I was right, sociology class is crazy fun, I almost forgot that there's a monster behind me.

Then I felt someone kicked my seat. Did he read my mind?

"Ya!" I turned around and called him out.

"Ya!" Our professor responded.

I bit my lip out of embarrassment and I saw PCY let out a sarcastic grin.






. . .

"About that Park Chan Yeol guy... He's such a cutie, isn't he?" Bom seemed interested.

"Which guy?" I heard a familiar voice.

"Donghae! You're here too!" I exulted.

"Yeah. I was looking for you for an hour already. I almost gave up. Good thing I passed by here in the cafeteria."

"By the way, this is Bom. My girl best friend." I tapped Bom's back.

"Annyeong Donghae. Even if it's the first time we saw each other, I already knew you. Actually, Dara is always telling stories about you everyday." Her revelation made me elbow her so hard. I hate having loquacious friend.

Donghae chuckled. "Really? Is that true Dara?"

"Ani! Don't believe her!"

He again chuckled. "Okay. I believe in you. So who's that guy you're talking about again?"

"Are you jealous?" Wtf Bom?

"Well, we are classmates with this tall and handsome guy. His name is Park Chan Yeol." Bom continued.

"Park Chan Yeol?" He seemed to be shocked.

"Wait. I googled his name and it says that... Omo! He's the only son of the Minister of Education, Park Bong Pal?"

"Avoid him as much as possible." Donghae warned.

"But why?" Bom's seemed to be disappointed.

"Just avoid him. You don't know what he can do." Donghae walked away.

"As part of your requirement in sociology class, we'll be having an outreach program. Since it is Cancer Awareness month, we will have an outreach program for the cancer patients at Seoul Children Hospital. I'll be grouping you into twos and each pair will have different tasks to do."

"Pairings will be determined based on your surname's alphabetical order." Our professor announced.

"Lee Ji Eun and Lee Joon Gi will be responsible for seeking donations"

"Moon Ye Soon and Nam Eun Rang will prepare games for the kids."

"Oh Mi Chul and Park Bom will prepare the food and drinks."

"Park Chan Yeol and Park Sandara will be in charge for the intermission number."


Andwae!
