Xiao's POV
I was in the practice room watching Momo and Mina who were preparing for a duo dance competition. It's been a couple weeks now since the Jinah incident but I haven't thought about it and Eun Woo hasn't talked to me either.

Momo: I wish it could have been the three of us
Mina: I feel so bad that you have to sit there by yourself watching
Xiao: it's fine! You guys did the same for me too
Mina: but you haven't been talking to Eun Woo... is that why you look so glum?
Momo: it shows all over your face Xiao
Xiao: no! I'm just normally like this

Then Rocky came into the room.

Rocky: did I interrupt ahjumma's gossiping hour?
Momo: yah!!!
Mina: ahjussi welcome to the party
Rocky: I just came to stop by and tell you guys that all the freshman are having a retreat
Xiao: where is it?
Rocky: it's on an island
Mina: Jeju island?!
Rocky: I'm not sure
Xiao: this is so exciting!!! This is our first trip together
Momo: I always wanted to go on a retreat! In Japan we had these but I missed out on it
Xiao: why?
Momo: I got sick
Mina: yeah so I had to go by myself with other friends but it wasn't fun
Xiao: awww... but this time we are all definitely going
Momo: yeah!!!

I walked back to the dorm and there was Eun Woo walking in my direction and suddenly I became nervous. He saw me and just walked past me.

Xiao: yah! Are you ignoring me?
Eun Woo: what do you mean? I'm just busy
Xiao: you can't even say hi?
Eun Woo: why should I? Your not even someone I want to associate with
Xiao: WHAT?! What's wrong with you?! Why are you so mean?
Eun Woo: I was always like this but I realized I was being too nice
Xiao: I don't even know what I did wrong to you!!!
Eun Woo: you didn't do anything wrong
Xiao: then why are you avoiding me?
Eun Woo: we are from two majors that hate each other in this school
Xiao: I thought we could at least be friends
Eun Woo: you know the history and yet you still say that
Xiao: I guess if you really didn't like me that much then I won't talk to you anymore

I can't believe that frickin guy!! So bipolar!!! I never want to talk to him ever again!!

The next day...

I forgot that we are still on the arts committee together... 😑😑😑😑😑 we were just sitting in silence the whole time but away from each other.

Eun Woo: did you get the teachers signature for this one?

I wrote on a piece of paper yes and where it was.

Eun Woo: just say the words and stop wasting time with your note writing... you write too slow

I swear to god that every word that came out of his mouth just kept angering me more and more. I will get revenge on him!!!

Eun Woo: idiot! Come here!

I didn't budge at all pretending not to hear him.

Eun Woo: No wonder your an idiot... can't even hear either

Eun Woo's POV
I know I was being too mean but talking to my older sister the other day made me realize that I was steering off the path to my goal too much and had to get back on track. The first thing I had to do was to not associate with Xiao as much anymore even though I enjoyed it. I didn't like the fact that I was being mean to her but I had to. When I walked over to her, she looked up at me and started crying. My eyes widened shocked at her sudden action and she immediately ran out the door. Was I really being that mean to her? I decided to run after her until I saw her stop in front of some guy that was smiling. Who the freak was he?!

? Guy: Xiao!!! Who made you cry?!
Xiao: some bastard was being too overboard
? Guy: I'll kill him for you
Xiao: don't! I will do it myself

Sure... but who is that?! He doesn't come here so he isn't a student... is it her brother? Cousin? Ex boyfriend? Boyfriend? Nah not current boyfriend... I would know! But then again I'm not that close to know that kind of information.

Xiao' POV
I was so happy to see my older brother in front of me! His presence definitely cheered me up instantly but I didn't want him to see me in such a sad state. Oh right! My brother is Han Geng and I also have an older sister but she's in the states. Ever since we were young, we were always surrounded by other students who liked us because of our good looks. My brother was especially popular with his looks and the fact that he was good at dancing and singing was a plus. He was also a great student and amazing at sports. Luckily, he was scouted by a top agency called SM but he wasn't sure and thought long and hard about it eventually committing to it and leaving china. My younger sister and I missed him a lot but he was going to achieve his dream so it was all good. He continued his studies at the university I'm attending right now and he was so proud of my acceptance.

Han Geng: is that singing idiot bothering you?
Xiao: he's just being annoying like usual
Han Geng: maybe he might have special feelings for you
Xiao: um no! That's definitely not it
Han Geng: well some guys act mean towards guys they like
Xiao: yeah in my opinion that's just horrible
Han Geng: but is he mean to your friends?
Xiao: um... he doesn't talk to them really
Han Geng: just you?
Xiao: but he's only mean to me because we have different majors and all
Han Geng: that's the dumbest reason I ever heard
Xiao: well it doesn't matter to me anymore

As I was going to pick up some food to eat with my brother I saw Eun Woo and his older sister Taeyeon. When Taeyeon and my brother saw each other they actually froze.

Xiao: you know her?
Han Geng: yeah... I actually do
Taeyeon: han Geng! It's been a while! How are you?
Han Geng: I'm fine! But what are you doing here?
Taeyeon: I'm helping out with the school now
Han Geng: ohhh I see... being surrounded by youth makes you feel young right? Hahahahaha
Taeyeon: that's right!
Han Geng: you wanna catch up on some things over lunch?
Taeyeon: sure!

Unfortunately I ended up eating lunch with Eun Woo at another table in the same restaurant as my brother!!!! What the heck is this?! It was so silent and awkward the whole time too. Then some girls came in and saw Eun Woo. What was worse was that one girl from their group thought we were on a frickin date!!!! But the other girls didn't seem to care and came up to him.

Somin: annyeong my name is Somin! We have 2 classes together!
Eun Woo: oh really? I didn't notice
Somin: it's fine! I didn't expect you to anyway
Eun Woo: what do you need?
Somin: you don't look happy with this girl so why don't you hang out with me and my friends?
Eun Woo: what do you mean I'm not happy?
Somin: you look bored and your barely eating any food
Eun Woo: how would you know? Anyways just go
Somin: fine... we will leave if you can prove to us that you two are dating! I'll never bother you again after that
Xiao: yeah we aren't dat--

He stood up, took my hand, pulled me close, and kissed me on the cheek. Oh my god!!! He kissed me on the cheek! I was so happy but confused at the same time!!! Did he really have to do that?!

Eun Woo: now leave me and my girlfriend alone
Somin: aish!!!!

When they walked out I could see my brother and Taeyeon looking over at us like parents. Eun Woo intertwined his hands with me and we walked out of the restaurant.

Xiao: yah! You can let go of my hand now
Eun Woo: we already told them we are dating so now everybody in school will know and we have to act like it
Xiao: why?! If you were just honest then we wouldn't have to pretend and besides you hate me too and I don't like you either!!!
Eun Woo: it didn't seem like you hated that kiss though...
Xiao: oh my god!!!
Eun Woo: lets act like it for now and besides I have too many fan girls so you can be like my little charmer chasing them off
Xiao: what if I don't agree to this?
Eun Woo: your choice... just remember to stop by the wig shop and hospital later
Xiao: wait what?!
Eun Woo: you know exactly what I mean
Xiao: oh my god!!! This is clearly a threat!
Eun Woo: say yes or no
Xiao: what?! At least give me time
Eun Woo: 1
Xiao: hold up
Eun Woo: 2
Xiao: yah!
Eun Woo: 3
Xiao: yes!!! I'll do it!!!
Eun Woo: jagiya let's go!
Xiao: jagi my ass!!!
