Her eyes began to wander toward the secretary silently scribbling at her desk, the same person who had asked her to take a seat on the chair propped against the wall.

The same person unaware that she was fueling the girl’s anxiety by doing nothing. 

The young girl’s mind began visiting possible explanations as to why she was here. Explanations as to why the Dean asked to speak to her? Wasn’t running the University a whole lot of responsibility already? She is only one in the thousands that attend here and someone like the secretary is more fitting. And like, how bad is it? Before the second semester of freshman year of college could commence, she already has to deal with this. Not totally a good sign. 

The door across from her suddenly opens. “Lee Yiseul.” 

There it was. Composing her expression, Yiseul stood up and walked through the door that the older woman held opened for her.

The somber mood of this whole meeting was putting the young girl on edge. Yiseul gently took her seat and held her hands together neatly on top of her lap.

Chapter 62: Wow! I finally get to finish reading this breath of fresh air. I love your style.
All through the earlier chapters, I was chanting girl stand up for yourself like a mantra. I knew it wasn't easy to just up and switch. It took time, but I'm glad she achieved it in the end. Thank you, for this refreshing read.

Chapter 57: The way Hanbin gives Yiseul a space and choice for her to decide shows how much he respects her.

All this time, she can't say no and I can't blame her for that. I hope they can leave safely and live how they want to.
