The following day became an awkward meeting for the two. Chanyeol decided not to bother her for a while for the sake of letting her lose her anxious feeling. In terms of a closed or open person, Ara wasn’t really the closed type. She just appeared like one because of her attitude towards men. Her personality was more of an ajar one. It’s not really closed however, it is only slightly opened. The type who waits for someone to knock and she’s willing to let them enter like what she did with Chanyeol despite her hatred for men. It’s as if she’s waiting for someone brave enough to enter and discover who she really is. Nevertheless, this was the hindrance to her being. She was too afraid – afraid to be let out to a vast area where she might get completely lost and left.

“Chanyeol!”, Suho called from the far left side of the hallway. He had just finished drinking water from the fountain.

“Okay. I’ll contact them later.” He raised the card, nodding.

“Sure and thanks! I’ll be seeing you soon.” Suho went on his way. He seemed to be in a hurry. Must be the call of his duty as the school’s president.

Chanyeol fiddled with the card held by his hand as he stared at the huge building that stood in front of him. He looked at his outfit and was glad that he wasn’t underdressed. This company’s name screamed sophistication and high status. He knew of this company because of the numerous magazines it sold. Nonetheless, he have
