Decisions

Just like what she had expected, Yoona introduced herself in front of the class. But she didn't expect, she needs to tell to the whole class why she transferred to Yonsie University. If she attended her first class yesterday, she would have passed it now, but since she did, she needed to. After all, she's a new student.

After introducing herself, Yoon took her seat just 2nd to the last in the row.

She took her book, her father gave, along with a book that came from Taeyeon.

The book her father gave was about business managing, while Taeyeon is about 'Understanding Deafness Socially by Lesly Jones.

Both are interesting books, yet, she set aside Taeyeon gave as she find it irrelevant for her situation at the moment, where she find herself listening to a Professor's voice, lecturing them.

Yoona's eyes were glued to the teacher, listening to the Professor very attentively.

Yes, for the very first time of her life? Yoona is interested with business.

But of course, every first has its reasons.

Flashback....

After having her fresh and warm shower, Yoona change her clothes, into her pajama specifically. She left her room and proceeds to the office her father wanted her to have a talk.

"What's up this time?" That moment she sat down, across her father, she immediately acted so cool. Even for it’s already 9 in the evening. 

President Im had a huge smile spreading in his face, as he realized his daughter did his request. Usually, this deer would ignore him even and will just forget what he requested.

"You look so fresh now, fresher than earlier." He couldn't help and comment. He didn't missed how dirty is his daughter's white shirt, earlier, so it really was a relief that his daughter look so clean now. "What did you do the whole day and you looked like you dive into the ground, eh?" chuckles him afterwards.

Yoona sighed. "You don't have to know. Just get to the point, Dad. You are going to waste my time if you keep on bubbling words I am not interested."

President Im cleared his throat and adjusted his seat, by leaning a little forward to his desk. His two palms are on top of a thick folder.

"So I ask you to come over because I wanted to discuss about something."

"Okay." Yoona nodded her head gently. "Then?"

President Im opened the folder that was on his desk and took a heavy sigh first, before pushing it towards his daughter. "It's your mother's last will testament." He softly uttered. Yoona slowly looked down on it. "There, you can see the signatures your mother and the lawyer had made, which made it valid."

Yoona's eyebrows were rising, as she reads the content. "I am getting U-Na Malls around South Korea and as well as the U-Na Hotels and Restaurants? Um, this-this... is big!"

President Im had a slight smile in his face, upon seeing his daughter reacted with an exclaim. He brought the folder back to his care and continued, "This means, you are inheriting not only the property in South Korea, but also the properties she left in the United States. U-Na Hotels and Restaurants are in the U.S. if you may ask, honey."

"Whoa. Is this serious?"

"Do I look like I am not?" President Im's expressions were still serious even though his daughter is chuckling upon learning how rich she was.

'"Okay. So what do I need to do? This won't change something, or what?"

"It won't change anything aside from the fact that you have to be extra careful with your actions now. The media already knew about this, and I am worried that bad elements will be interested. You are in the news around, if you look at the news papers and so as the televisions. Thus, I want you to continue your studies and take care the businesses your mother has left for you. This way, you'll not waste what she had worked for." 

"But what about you? Are you still rich?"

It was like some rude words, but President Im took it as a simple word. "I have the Im Internationals, you might want to invest? Oh, and let me remind you, I also have my share in U-Na Malls... so... don't act like you are the richest, my dear daughter." He remained calm.

Yoona was speechless. "You are so funny, dad." She chuckles heartily towards her father. 

"But I suggest, you should get bodyguards to ensure your safety." President Im didn't even flinch with the way his daughter is reacting. 

"Bodyguards? I don't need that. I'll just kill them myself if ever something happened."

"Aigoo, Fine. If that's what you want. So start with, do you want something? I mean, as a gift for accepting this, I want to do something for you." However, even the fact his daughter is not serious of the topic, President Im is still the father of this choding. He wanted to be her father as long as he can still.

Yoona shut and fake a cough. She looked at her father, and squinted her eyes to her. When she only can see his eyes are to him, seriously but still can see his softness, she smiled and praised her silently inside her mind. "You serious?"

"Anything."

Yoona thought for a moment, as she let her mind runs. But her mind only ended up with one girl. "I have this friend named, Seo Joohyun. She's deaf too, dad, but... sadly, she doesn't want to pursue her dreams anymore. Um, I would like to know where this girl attended her high school years. Only that. Can you do that for me?"

"Information. You only want to know this girl's background?"

"Yep." Yoona nodded, confident with her words.

"Okay. That's easy. I can hire someone to do this."

"I'll be looking forward for the details then." Getting up, Yoon stretch her hand out.

President Im stood up and chuckles, taking his daughter's hand.

"Glad we are Okay, now.

"I'm always Okay with you, Dad." came Yoona's soft response.

End of Flashback...

Leaving her last subject for the morning session, Yoona make her way in the corridor where she can see students around, staring at her direction. Knowing it could happen, ever since her father told her about her popularity to the public, she got her snapback out from her backpack and wore it. She lowered her head a little, and continues to walk, all the way to her locker. As soon as she arrived, she frowned to see roses and cards in her locker. 

"Damn. Did I miss half of my life?" Yoona was amused, seriously not expecting the University would welcome her so warm. Thus, in a love letter way. "Aigoo, I should be careful, like Dad advise me."

"Kyaaa!!! Im Yoona!!!" 

Yoona almost want to hit the person who suddenly hugs her from behind, if she just didn't recognize Nana right away. Heck, she literally just jumps in surprise. 

"Yah! What’s wrong with you?!"

"What's wrong with me? Yoona!!! You should know how much I wanted to apply as your assistant Noww!!!" Nana yelled, grabbing Yoona's arm and shake it like furiously.

Yoona laughs. "Is this because of the news? Hahaha you are so funny, Nana."

"I just don't care. As long as I can always be with you." Nana winked, disgusting Yoona.

"Ew, Get a life Nana. I still haven't gone in the cafeteria." Abruptly, Yoona pried Nana's hand off of her, as she started to walk away. The latter followed her behind instantly.

"Haha, you are funny too. I'm just kidding. You know how rich I am too. I don't like to be called as nanny to a certain popular deer like you."

Yoona roughly ruffled Nana's hair. "You are still the choding, aren't you?"

"Yah! Stop it. You are messing my hair!" Nana slapped Yoona's shoulder, causing for the latter to chuckles heartily and so bright. Nana didn't miss this and ask. "Wae? What happened yesterday that you are like that, eh?"

Yoona flash Nana her infamous alligator smile. Then, she just shrugs.

"Oh-uh. I think you have confessed? Or what? Come on, tell me cous."

"You won't." Yoona stuck her tongue out, teasing Nana.

"Aish! I'm interested. Please, tell me cous. Tell me! Tell me! Tell meeeee!!!" Nana keeps on shaking Yoona's arm while they're walking in the corridor.

Yoona didn't to answer and suddenly runs away, leaving Nana in the corridor whining.

"Im Yoona we are not friends anymore!!!"

[Sunshine Store]

Looking back and forth to the television and to the person, sitting in the table, just nearyby, Sunny could only comment one thing. "This girl, why is she not paying attention to the costumers entering and exiting?" She noticed it, ever since the news program is talking about the heirs of U-Na Malls and U-Na Hotels and Restaurants. Seohyun was there, stuck to the program, even though she couldn't hear anything from the program. Thus, she knew she's reading the flash texts in the bottom of the news program. Which says; 'Im Yoona, the heirs of Im Family is serious with her studies.' 

Disappointed yet a little understanding, Sunny left her place and approach Seohyun in the table. "What's the reason and you are stuck with the news?" Likewise, she talks with her signs and verbally.

'Unnie. I'm sorry. But, it's not like I'm wasting my time here. I'm honestly checking every jelly out here. I just finished it early.' said Seohyun, as she pointed to the boxes next to her seat.

"Oh, I didn't notice. But yeah, I wanted to ask why are you glued to Yoona in that news too?" still curious, Sunny still insist.

Seohyun sighed. 'I just don't know what to feel watching in that news, Unnie. It's like... I didn't notice, she was this big, already? It surprised me. But at the same time, I'm kind of doubtful.'

"Doubtful?" Sunny raised her eyebrows.

'I mean, Unnie. I don't know if this is good but... honestly... I like Yoona-ssi. And I feel like, it's really wrong, liking her.'

"Omo! Chincha?" Sunny was surprised. She sits next to Seohyun and held her two hands. "Just when? I-I... thought you were... Oh sorry." realizing she's not using her hand; she released her hand and continue with her words. "I don't know you like her. How did it happen? I mean, it's only been 2 weeks ago since you know her. How could that be?"

Seohyun blushed, yet, feels like it was indeed so early for her to like Yoona. 'I don't know, Unnie. It just happens naturally. I think it got better when she suddenly disappeared and went back with great news about Lip Reading Class.'

"I see. But, what do you mean doubting?"

'I just thought so, Unnie. Plus, I don't have any guarantee that she likes me back. So before I could fall in love deeply, I'm thinking of forgetting about this. And besides, I really don't know yet if I really love her. I just like her, yeah, because she's my friend and she's really kind. Like what you said, it’s only been 2 weeks. It's not really love yet, right?' 

Sunny patted Seohyun's shoulders. "Whatever was your decision, I know it was the best for you. But if may I advise you... forget about love first. Just enjoy life, Okay? Don't think about it yet. You're still young. Come on, I know your goal today is to read lips someday. Focus on that first, before you could mend your heart. Hmm?"

Seohyun was flattered, upon hearing Sunny's advise. She nodded in agreement and pulled her for a hug. 'I will. Yeah, hopefully.' 

Pulling back from the hug, Seohyun's attention diverted to the tan girl who just entered the store. Her smile just automatically painted her face as she saw how bright her best friend is smiling towards her. She got up and approached her right instantly.

'So are we going now?'

"Where are you taking Seohyun again?" Sunny got up, knowing that Yuri is always taking Seohyun out if its lunch time. "Don't tell me I'm not invited again?"

Yuri chuckles. "What can I do? Your store will lose its costumer if you will join us. But likewise, we are taking out food for you."
