"Father..." Sunggyu's eyes widened when his father walked into the room with his arms crossed.  He could not believe his son betrayed him.   He told him not to go near that girl, but he did anyway.

'Kim Sunggyu, how dare you go against me and spend time with hat girl outside of your group project." Sunggyu's father walked over to Sunggyu and grabbed onto his hair, giving him a slight push.  Sunggyu stumbled over his feet and fell to the ground.  He looked up at his father with cold eyes.

"What did you want me to do? Allow the girl get by the erted men who were following her? Don't tell me you are the one who sent them?"  Sunggyu asked as he stood up slowly and glared at his father once more.  If his father truly did that he would not be able to forgive the man.  He would do everything in his power to make sure his father does not get his way. "Well...?"

"I did not send those men to hurt your little girlfriend."  Sunghoon said in a cold tone.  He took another step towards Sunggyu, "Don't you dare glare at me like that Kim Sunggyu or everything you did to protect Myungsoo will be a waste." 

"I can look at you however I like, and don't you dare bring Myungsoo into this.  He does not deserve your harassment." Sunggyu said coldly.  "Do you really think I am an idiot.  Those are the men that you send to keep an eye on me.  What were you planning on doing to Hyerin, if I was not around?"

"It is none of your concern."  Sunghoon said, "Just follow the plan and I will not hurt the girl or Myungsoo."  Sunghoon placed a hand on Sunggyu's chin and forced his son to look into his eyes.  "Do I make myself clear Sunggyu. One wrong move and I will make sure that female friend of yours will suffer more than when she lost her parents. As for Myungsoo, he still be shipped abroad until I give the ok for him to come back."

"You're disgusting." Sunggyu said coldly causing his father to slap him across his cheek.  Sunggyu could feel tears coming on, but he held them back.  He regained his composer and looked at his father, "I will do whatever you want." Sunggyu spoke in a monotone voice.

"Good." Sunggyu's father said as he started to fix his son's hair.  "The school's charity day is coming up.  Make sure you do something that will reflect good on my school."

"Yes, father."  Sunggyu said with no emotion.

"Good...I will see you for a family dinner tonight." Sunghoon said as he fixed his jacket. "Until tonight Sunggyu, make sure you behave.  I have people watching you."

Sungyeol leaned against the wall outside of the classroom Sunggyu was in with his father.  Sungyeol felt terrible for Sunggyu.   He did not know that Sunggyu's father was slightly abusive towards Sunggyu, but he did not know it was this extreme.  Sungyeol understand why Sunggyu tried to be cold to Hyerin, but he knew that Sunggyu could not stay cold for too long.  He already proved that many times.

Sungyeol took a deep breath and knew that he could not tell this to Hyerin, it would only break her heart.  Sungyeol watched Sunggyu walk out of the classroom and pause for a moment, looking straight at Sungyeol.  He wondered if Sunggyu could sense him.

"I must be imagining things" Sunggyu sighed and walked off.

Sungyeol disappeared and reappeared in Hyerin's room.  He was happy that she was alone so he could talk to her. "Hello princess."  He jumped when the girl glared at him and Sungyeol knew why he was getting such a cold gaze.

"Why the hell did you push Hoya like that? He...he..." Hyerin just blushed just thinking about it.  Her hand went to her lips.  They still felt warm from the kiss.

"Things were moving to slowly for my liking, princess. I had to do something."  Sungyeol crossed his arms. "You know you only have till the end of the year."

"That is not much time." Hyerin said as she looked at Sungyeol. "How do you expect me to all in love in four months? That is impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible, and I am still working on something special for you." Sungyeol sat down on the bed.  "If you are a good girl and start being more forward with your relationships with this four men then I will give you my special gift."

"What is this special gift of yours?" Hyerin asked.

"It's a secret!"

A week has gone by since Hyrin's concussing and kiss with Hoya.  She has not seen much of Sunggyu and had  a feeling that he was avoiding her.  When she asked Sungyeol he told her that he had no idea why Sunggyu was acting that way.  Hyerin knew it was a lie, but she was not going to pry for answers.  She rather figure out the truth on her own.

She was walking towards the place where she was assigned for the Universities Volunteer Day and wished Dongwoo was going with her, but he was assigned somewhere else.  She suddenly felt someone's arm go around her shoulder. "Hello, my beautiful."

"Hello Woohyun ah."

"You should greet me in a cuter way." Woohyun said as he noticed other students looking at her and whispering.
