"The reason why this entrepreneur's achievements..."  

     My peer's words went in one ear, out through the other. My eyes are fixated on the small, dusty and obnoxiously

loud clock. 10:58. Two more minutes. I fidget in my creaking wooden seat. I haven't introduced ---

 

     " Ga-Yeon-ssi." Ga-Yeon turned her head towards the owner of the voice. " The bell rang, The dean's letting

students go out of campus and eat. "  Ga-Yeon looks out the window and notices the light sprinkle coating the town and

turning the gray pavement into a darker shade." Yeah, my stomachs louder than our teacher. " Her friend's giggles

fade through her mind as it has done before. " The year is over in 3 days. Man, I'm way too happy for that. " Ga-Yeon smiles to herself, 

"Yah, Ga-Yeon-ssi, you look like a clown, hurry up! "

               " 2 mulled ales. 20 sweet hot wings. For, Hye-Bin."                      

     

" Hyun-Shik-ssi is apparently coming here with his posse for a drama shoot. With his little girlfriend too. " Hye-

Bin continues to heavily criticize the various images on her screen before forcefully putting her phone in front of her

friend's face. " That coat on her shoulders makes her look like a flying squirrel. " Ga-Yeon ignores their

conversation and giggles and pays attention to the large crowd-drawing close towards the small and quiet cafe.

 

Ga-Yeon stretches her arms above her head and yawns silently." I'm gonna order another bee---. " She is interrupted

suddenly with a loud outburst from around the cafe and front door. " Mr. Im Hyun-Shik, you're only 19 and engaged to

your 18-year-old now-fiancée, why is that? " A reporter hurriedly pushes the large microphone in front of the

mysterious boy's face.The boy says nothing for a good second. " We've known each other for so long, I'm head over

heels for her! " As if by magic, his face becomes bright. “ Scary. “ Ga-Yeon glances at the tall, broad-shouldered

man. “ His fiancée is wearing designer clothing too, that boy spoils her too much. “

 

" Fake idiot. " Hye-Bin sloshes around the intoxicating liquid in her glass cup. " I hate him and love him at the

same time. " Ji-Yeon giggles from Hye-bin's fuming anger. " Hey, have you guys seen the dorm enlistments for next

year? " Ga-Yeon changes the topic quickly and drinks the remaining ale in her cup. " Yeah, Mrs. Lee gave me some

papers today. " Ji-Yeon pulls out a stack of papers.

 

“ Here’s the 'girls' sheet. I believe--- “ Ji-Yeon is suddenly cut off by an obnoxious feminine cough. “ We had

reserved this seat, so if you and your little friends could move that would be fantastic sweetheart. “ The girls

were greeted face-to-face with a caramel hair colored girl and Im Hyung-Shik. “ I don’t see ‘ petty ‘ written

anywhere, sorry. “ Hye-Bin growls at her. “ Yah, just move. You’re in the way. “ Hye-Bin is silenced by the

boy’s words. “ Huh, and I was over here thinking he wasn’t a terrible human being ” Ga-Yeon mentally rolls her

eyes.

 

“ Let’s go. I’m sure pretty boy and Prada girl need their alone time. “ Ga-Yeon mumbles the last sentence, her self-esteem not

in the best place. The three of them leave the booth. “ Ah, they left a mess. Honey, call the waiter to clean this

up for me. “ They faintly hear the girl's whining while leaving the restaurant
