“Y–You?!” Joohyun rounded her eyes as she finally recognized his face. 

She recalled back their first meeting. 

Her steps stopped at the lockers and she gasped in shocked when she turned beside her and saw a couple was making out passionately. 

She swore that they were almost half-. She decided to ignore them as she wanted to leave but then a guy's voice stopped her. “What the are you looking for ugly?”

Joohyun stepped backward, feeling scared of him since he looks really scary. His face looks fierce and had the bad-guy aura around him. 

The womanizer. 

“Hi there Bae Joohyun-shi.” He winked naughtily. 

“Yifan, you know Joohyun?” Mrs. Wu asked and Joohyun looked at her. 

“Yes mom. She's my colleague. Right Joohyun-shi?” Yifan answered her mom's question and gave a quick smile towards Joohyun.

Joohyun smiled awkwardly and slowly nodded. 

“Great! Now, lets sit first then we can chit chat.” Mr. Bae said as they made their way towards the table and took the seats.

Joohyun bit her lower lips and sighed slowly. She slowly walked towards and sat in front of Yifan. 

“So son, how did you met Joohyun?” Mrs. Wu asked his son.

Yifan smiled again and looked at Joohyun. “Well, we met at the lockers.” He said truthfully. 

“Huh? Lockers?”

Joohyun widened her eyes after heard his answer. “Y–Yeah. I met him at the lockers during my first day in that college. I tripped so Yifan helped me.” She lied. She's not that crazy to tell the truth towards Qian aunty and Yijen uncle that she saw their son was kissing in the college.

Yifan couldn't help but chuckled softly because of Joohyun's lies. He examined Joohyun's face and admitted the rumor about how pretty B Group's daughter was really true. 

‘She's really pretty... But why did she wore that big glasses and acted like a nerd in the college?’ He thought about Joohyun's double life.

“Thank you Yifan for helping my daughter.” Mr. Bae thanked Yifan. 

“No problem uncle.” Yifan smiled.

Suddenly, Joohyun felt someone was nudging her elbow and that someone was her mom. She knew that her mom was teasing about her and Yifan.

‘Gosh mom please...’

“Then, we'll leave both of you. Yifan, take care of Joohyun okay?” Mr. Wu said before he pulled his wife hand and left.

“I'll leave my daughter for you then Yifan.” Mr. Bae said too as he smiled at him.

Joohyun pouted sulkily and folded her arms. How she wished she could go home with her parents but her dad forced her to go with Yifan, the womanizer.

“Sure uncle. I'll take care of Joohyun-shi. Don't worry.” Yifan said politely as he bowed.

Mrs. Bae pulled Joohyun and whispered. “Don't be naughty.” She said.

Joohyun's mouth automatically opened. “Mom!” She yelled halfheartedly and her mom was laughing at her.

“Okay okay. Let's go now honey. Bye Yifan, Joohyun.” Mr. Bae quickly pulled his wife and waved at Yifan and Joohyun.

“Bye dad, mom...” Joohyun mumbled quietly as her eyes stared at her parents that slowly left her with Yifan.

“So, where do you want to go?” Yifan questioned and looked straightly into Joohyun's eyes.

“Send me home.” 

“What?” 

Joohyun rolled her eyes. “Send me home. Can't you understand that?”

“Why? Are you afraid of me?” Yifan smirked.

“Why should I?” Joohyun glared at him.

The moment he looked at Joohyun's expression, he automatically laughed. “Because you might fall for me?” 

“Just send me home.” 

Yifan sighed before replied. “Fine.”

So, they slowly made their way towards Yifan's Lambo car. As Joohyun was about to open the door, Yifan quickly being the gentleman and opened the door for her. But then, before she could get into the car, someone was yelling and called out Yifan's name.

“Yifan!”

Yifan rolled his eyes, feeling annoyed after heard the voice meanwhile Joohyun's eyes almost popped out when she saw a y woman was walking towards them and her face looked angry?

“What's this all about?!” The woman yelled again. Joohyun stayed quiet as she chose not to interfere their business.

“What?” Yifan asked. 

“So, this woman is the reason why you ignored my calls and texts?!” She pointed her finger at Joohyun.

“Hyojin, don't involve her in this.” Yifan sternly spoke.

Hyojin smirked as she scanned Joohyun from head to toes. She went closer to Joohyun as she lifted her hand, wanted to slap Joohyun but then Yifan quickly stopped Hyojin by holding her hand and shoved away.

“Don't you dare, Ahn Hyojin.” Yifan warned coldly. 

Hyojin bit her lips and looked at Yifan furiously before her hand went up and strongly slapped Yifan's left cheek.

“I hate you!” She shouted and left the place. 

Joohyun that stayed silent since just now snapped out after she heard the sound of the strong slap from Hyojin. To be honest, she was a l
