Chapter 4: The Almost-Perfect Life of Ryeowook
The Tangled of LivesSeoul National University, 2008
“Son, this time it might work. Just try it, please.”
Ryeowook sighed. It was always like that. “Ok, Mom. I will.”
“Ok, Love. See you at weekend?”
“See you at weekend.”
He closed his mobile and asked his driver to drop him in the park instead of the parking lot. He preferred to walk a bit than stopped right in front of the front gate of the university. Walking helped him to forget all the trouble that he had.
Then he heard somebody called him, “Wookie! Hi!”
He smiled. Only two people who dared to scream that nickname in the middle of the campus. He turned his head and his guess was right. Walked to their direction, he chirped “Changmin, Sooyoung, … and who is this?” He did not see it before, but there was a young girl with them.
“Uh, ah, this is Seo Joohyun. She’s a freshman, Oppa.”
He smiled to Sooyoung and then introduce himself to the girl, “I am Kim Ryeowook, but these two brats usually called me Wookie.“
He watched with interest when the girl bowed to him “Nice meeting you, Wookie-sshi.”
Sooyoung laughed. “She is really a polite girl. She can call you Wookie-Oppa, can she?”
Wookie turned to the girl who always had a soft spot in his heart and smiled, “Of course. By the way, do you want to come with me to the practice, Youngie? I could always use your constructive comments.” He felt warm when she beamed “Sure, Oppa!”
Wookie was never fall in love before, but once he laid his eyes to the bubbly girl, he had to admit to himself that she had intrigued him most. He had fought the attraction with all of his strength, because he was so sure that it would be unfair for her to be in his complicated life. But she had fought back with the similar strength. And there he was, surely starting to fall almost head over heels with the tall shikshin girl.
His smile got wider when he saw her starting to take the young girl under her wings. That’s totally her character. People might seen her as a tomboy and kind of harsh spoiled girl, but everyone who knew her better could read between the lines that deep down she was really a soft and caring girl.
He would still be in his own world if Sooyo
