Fate 28 (1/1)
The sun rises in the morning and on clear summer mornings, it wakes Jiyong up bright and fresh. It has been a week since he arrived in his new home. Stretching out his right hand to cover the bright sun from coming in, he uses his left hand to rub his eyes. Jiyong pulled away the comforter and checked his phone. No text messages, no missed calls, nothing. He tightly pursed his lips and slowly got out from his bed and went downstairs. The hall clock tells him that it is almost seven thirty. Jiyong took a quick shower and wore a white V-neck tee with a normal black pants. He quickly made his way to the refrigerator to get a bottle of cold milk and started pouring it into a bowl together with the cereals for breakfast. He munched them as fast as he could and immediately grab his bag and car keys and headed out to his car. It was a 30 minute drive from his house to his University. He smiled widely as he found a parking space and immediately parked his black Porsche. Grabbing his bag and a white file filled with his details, past results and whatnots, he got out from the car and headed to the office. However, while heading to the office, he received weird stares from certain students along the hall way, some were even fantasizing him, squealing loudly as if he is an idol. Just the first day of class, he already had goosebumps all over him. He looked down, ignoring everyone and walked swiftly. Jiyong had to depend on the University map as he had no courage to ask around for help. Jiyong let loose his long breath as he finally found the office. He knocked the door twice and a loud yet dry voice responded. Jiyong went in and automatically greeted them. A middle aged man, replied Jiyong with a warm smile and allowed him to sit in front of him. Beside him is a pretty young lady dressed in a polka dot dress. “Good morning young man. You must be the new student who recently applied here.” the man said while clearing his throat. “Ye-yeah. Good morning, sir and madam. I am Kwon Ji Yong.” Jiyong responded while taking his seat. “Great, we were just talking about you. It’s my pleasure to meet you here, on time. I am the Principal of this University, Brian Henney. So, let me introduce you, this is Ms Park. She will be your advisor throughout the year.” he stretched out his hand and pointed Ms Park while introducing her to me. I nodded twice, looking really relieved. “For the registration procedures, you have to follow me to the staff room. After we settle that, I will be touring you around the University so that you will get used to it.” Ms Park explained quickly as if she was running out of oxygen while looking at me right in the eyes. She has a sexy comforting voice that makes me feel at ease. “Thank you, Sir Henney and Ms Park.” I replied while smiling widely. “Now, follow me, young man.” Ms Park patted me on the shoulder and I once again nodded and followed her behind. It was almost lunch time when we both finished touring around the university. I thanked Ms Park as she even gave me my locker key, identification card and an access card. I made my way to where the lockers was all located and kept my bag in there. “Class for today starts at 4PM and I have 2 hours to at least get used to the surrounding. Hmm. I shall get something for lunch now.” he mumbled to himself while closing his locker. Jiyong made his way to the canteen and scanned through the menu. When his turn came, he ordered set A and a cup of macchiato and proceeded to pay at the counter before getting his food and coffee. “Your total is $15.” a young girl notified him. Jiyong took out two notes and gave it to her. “Thank you and you may collect your food there.” she replied with her left hand pointing on her left. Jiyong nodded. Jiyong had to wait as there was a long queue at that particular area. Probably what these people ordered was much more than mine, he thought. He could hear the lady kept saying, “Here’s your order, thank you.” It was just two people away before Jiyong’s turn. Suddenly something caught his attention, when he heard a familiar voice communicating with the lady. “Miss, how long should I wait for my green tea coffee?” a long haired dyed with dark purple stripes asked the lady. “How about you go ahead eating first, I will call someone in here to serve your drink to you.” the middle aged lady replied. “Yah, Jiyong. Stop thinking nonsense. There wouldn’t be anyone you’d probably know, right here.” he gulped and shook his head twice. JIYONG’S POV Long hair. About the same height as me. She couldn’t be.. her, right? This girl’s voice is so familiar. Where have I heard it from? “Hello, young man! Stop dreaming. Here’s your tray.” the lady started waving both hands in front of me while saying loudly and suddenly I felt a loud thud on my shoulder. Immediately I looked up at the lady and stared at her for a minute. “What are you looking at? Aren’t you going to take your food, young man?” she replied me harshly. “Uh. Sorry sorry, I wasn’t paying attention. Thanks for the food” I replied and grab my tray. I was about to leave when suddenly she called out “Young man! You forgot your change.” I stopped where I was and turned back, slowly. “Me?” I used my finger to point myself. The lady nodded in reply and I immediately rushed over to get my change. “So, where’s my change?” I asked which made the
