3- Knowing

"Hello! My name is Tiffany Hwang! My real name is Stephanie but please call me Tiffany!" She bowed and showed her eye-smile to everyone.

"Ok Ms. Hwang you can sit beside Ms. Kim in the back there." My professor motioned his hand towards me and everyone's eyes widened.

"Uhmm... Sir! Please don't. She's new to this course and I don't want her to be scared already." Some guy in my class stood up.

Oh he wants to fight alright.

"Mr. Oh. Sit down. Besides Ms. Kim does not scare people in class. She's quiet and actually pays attention unlike you. So don't say anything and just listen to the lectures and stop judging other people you hypocrite." Oh shit get roasted.

I chuckled and he glares at me. I raise my eyebrow at him and he immediately sits down.

"Ms. Kim?" Sir calls my name and I look at him.

"Yes sir?" I ask as I stand up.

Respect.

"Do you mind if Ms. Hwang sits beside you?" He takes out papers from his bag and puts his glasses on.

"No sir. I'm ok with it." I bow and sit back down on my chair.

"Ok Ms. Hwang please sit in that empty chair beside Ms. Kim." He directed her and she bows whilst making her way towards me.

She smiles at me and I don't smile back, I just merely nod. She frowns but shrugs it off.

"Well I meet the famous Kim Taeyeon." She chuckled extending her hand towards me.

I take in and shake hands with her without uttering a word.

"Tiffany Hwang." She says.

"Kim Taeyeon." I reply.

At the sound of my voice her eyes widen.

"Uh... do you perhaps know me by any chance?" She asks as she points to herself.

By that statement, the class bursts out into murmurs.

"Did Taeyeon really meet Tiffany before?"
"How lucky can Taeyeon be?"
"Tch. She probably just knows her but gave her the famous cold shoulder she gives to everyone."

"No." I state coldly and took out my books.

"O-oh u-uh.. u-mm. Ok." She stutters.

Well I scared her already.

The class went on and we did techniques that we learnt yesterday. I had to help Tiffany but I used my cold voice, as always. She merely replied with either, "Yes." Or "Ok."

Class ended and I made my way out. I always leave my car at the school parking lot. Being independent doesn't mean that people need to know.

I make my way to the store secretly taking a path no one ever takes. Then I put my mask on.

If you're wondering why Bomi knows who I am, I simply trust her. Even though she yells my name she yells it through the kitchen window with not such a strong voice.

She doesn't go to my school so she doesn't know. When someone in the store is someone I recognize I simply tell her, don't say my name out loud.

She is scared of me because she I actually stood her up. I yelled at her and she's now careful. I basically keep my cold aura even when I work.

I'm now inside the store and I spot Bomi there taking orders.

"Yah. Hurry up." She yells at me and I nod. I got to the kitchen and put my apron on. After I simply get to making the tea.
