Maybe reading a book would clear and refresh my mind. Hyorin thought to herself as she explored the library bookshelves, she ran her fingertips on the books to find an interesting one, and it eventually stopped on a book that she thought was interesting. She, slowly, took it out from the shelf as she walked toward the nearest table. A smile graced itself onto her lips as she started reading the first pages because it caught her interest to read more.

As she was trying to open another page of the book she was reading, she noticed someone she didn't expect to see was sitting across her seat. She backed away slightly and gasped in complete shock, not hiding the irritated expression, which made him bursting out of laughter. "Can you please stop showing up in all of sudden? Are you a ghost?"

"I'm sorry. I just want to sit here after all. Out of it, please continue reading!" He replied shortly yet so simply while showing his typical mischievous smirk and slipped his hands into his pocket. A huge sigh escaped her tiny lips as she immediately closed her books and stood up to leave. "Unfortunately, I'm losing my mood to read. See you very soon, Choi Youngdo!" She grinned when he was just watching how she talked.

After noticing her odd act of avoiding him, he quickly tapped her feet away and made her fall on her seat again. She was startled and held the arm rest of her seat, her eyes widened as she was very shocked with that sudden tap from Youngdo. "What the hell?" She snapped while panting heavily, glaring at him sharply. "You should stay a little bit longer. I mean, I just came and you're leaving. That's a very bad manner you have!"

She hissed in disbelief, in a complete irritated way, full of dislike. "What do you want?"

"I just want you to sit down and read the book like what you did earlier." He shrugged his shoulders, acting very innocent as if he didn't do this on a purpose to annoy her. His eyes searched for hers carefully, a pair of beautiful light brown eyes which most Asians that he'd ever met don't have. "I'm not in my mood of reading anymore because you upset me! Okay?"

She practically rolled her eyes, dropping her book onto the table, folding her arms. It's not that she gave in to him; she was just tired to run from him. It was no use to avoid him. He'd just came out of nowhere and annoy her all over again, wasn't he? Yes. "I don't get it why are you trying to annoy me or whatever is this."

"Well, do you remember my coat and shirt then?" He smirked again. Hearing this, she was almost caught off guard, her eyes widened again. "What's with them? I mean, you're the one who was standing in the middle of the way, which I'm not to blame in the case. Are we clear?"

She reminded him so much like his past and perhaps this was why he had so much fun on annoying her. She's just showing it in a different way, he mused to himself, maybe. He bit his lower lips in amuse, looking back at her in a very amused way, as if he was happy about something. "But you're the one who was holding the hot chocolate. Now I ask you, who is more responsible for my coat and shirt?"

"Whatever, I'm tired. So excuse me, Choi Youngdo." She hissed, this time he let her standing up and left the area. He was still grinning amused, but staring blankly at nothing. It wasn't the first time he received such respond from a girl, but he felt strange that she was like challenging him when doing so. For him, avoiding him was more like putting yourself into a cage, because the more she avoided him, the more he wanted to know her more. He was totally curious of her.


School bell has finally rang. Hyorin grabbed her bag and made her way outside the classroom to her locker when she saw Youngdo was standing on one of the lockers and looking at her. Ignoring him, she didn't stop walking until she reached her locker without looking at him more.

He came up to her slowly while fixing his uniform, and said. "So have you reconsider on taking the responsible for my coat and shirt?"

She slammed her locker door quietly after putting her books in and not managed to look at him yet. "Can you please stop? Aren't we clear that it's your fault? Can't you wake up?"

"I asked you this because I don't think it is my fault. So, please, tell me what have you decided." He said in response, grinning mischievously. It's as if he was going to win today. "Make sure it's a wise decision, Ms. Lee."

As much as she wanted to puke, she wanted to leave the school just so early. She hated how her school life was ruined by a cruel annoying creature she'd avoid when seeing. Then again, she couldn't do nothing but to obey her father. Usually, Chanyoung used to help her when they were kids but now that he has a girlfriend who dragged him around almost every time… She couldn't put hope into him anymore that he would came and defend her.

"I've decided that this is all your fault. That's it. Okay?" Without looking at him, she begun to walk away from her locker but unfortunately was being mentally pushed against the lockers as soon as he walked closer to her. When she tried to walk on another pathway, he blocked it again, and this made her lift her head while looking at him in the eyes. "Please, get out of the way."

"I'm not walking away until you give me a better decision. Besides, you have to watch how you behave to me. Don't people tell you that it's not a good idea to fight me? Be a good new girl." He told her carefully yet fiercely but she seemed not to care at all. She did have guts.

She muffled a scoff and rolled her eyes in sarcasm. "I don't care who you are, either you are a ruler here or probably the popular kingka. I don't really care. And you should watch how you behave to a new girl as well, give her at least guides on how to behave properly in an elite school like this."

With one last glare, she slowly walked away from him when he was frozen again. His fierce grin slowly faded away before he turned around and watched her moving her legs to leave the school building, but she could possibly be in the hotel again. In a quick movement, he locked his own locker and immediately walked out to the school parking lot to jump into his bike and went back to his hotel in hopes she wouldn't be there yet before he was arrived.


Zeus Hotel, Lobby

Youngdo jumped out of his bike in hurry, hoping that he came when she just came as well. He threw his helmet to one of his guard and entered the hotel building. His eyes firmly looked around as he was still exploring the ground floor, until his eyes locked to the brown haired young female with familiar uniform was waiting for the lift. Slowly, he followed behind her when the lift opened, she entered and he was standing next to her when she didn't seem to notice yet. After the lift door closed, she was curious of the tall male standing next to her and at first glance to his outfit, it was her school's uniform for male students. She wondered who it would be, and as soon as she looked up, her eyeswidened and she was almost choking of coughs. "Do I look so handsome until you're choking when looking at me?"

"Oh, please-" she paused, still coughing a little bit. "Get over yourself, Choi Youngdo."

He shrugged in response, a mischievous smile appeared on his lips when she stopped choking. However, it still felt weird on her throat. He was always the reason of her bad lucks, it was always him ever since their first encounter. And she hated him for that. "Just what are you doing here? Are you stalking me?"

Before he could speak, the lift came to a stop of floor 15 where a staff of the hotel came inside and bowed to Youngdo which made her gasped the moment she witnessed it. "Wait, why the hell on earth would you bow to an evil creature like him?"

"Mr. Youngdo is the hotel owner's son."

"WHAT?" She asked in disbelief, her eyes went wide as soon as she heard it.

When the lift came to 19th floor stop, the staff took off and bowed once again before leaving the two alone. She practically rolled her eyes and scoffed after knowing the truth that she was actually staying at the hotel whose owner is the father of her friendly enemy. "Shocked much?"

"Like I care?" She heaved a huge sigh and waited for her floor. It seemed like a long time for her to reach the floor where her suite was located.

"We're staying on the same floor, what a surprise." He told her after he glanced to one of floor sections she picked on the lift buttons and showed his typical mischievous smile. He seemed to change the conversation topic, it was like he tried everything to make her suffer with his mocks and whatever his weapons were to mentally attack her. This time she didn't respond.

As soon as they reached the floor, she went to a suite where it was unexpectedly located across to his room. "Your room is across to mine. What a pleasant surprise! I think we are fated to always encounter eachother, don't you think?"

"No." She said firmly and entered the suite after opening the door with her suite card key.

Youngdo muffled a scoff to himself. It was harder than he thought it would be to make her speak a lot more to him, it seemed like she hated him more than anything in the world right now. After heaving a deep sigh and shook his head, Youngdo eventually entered his suite with his own card key and get changed into his casual outfit before he'd leave again.

Hyorin, on the other suite, threw herself onto the bed and sighed. She had too many bad lucks after meeting him, and this was the most bad luck she'd ever experience. After a short thought, she eventually reached her hand into her handbag to grab her phone and searched for her father's number. She didn't even care if her father was busy right now, she wanted to get rid of these.

"Yes, Hyorin?" His father answered the call, his voice was low but almost firm. Guess he was really busy right now.

"Daddy, when will you come here?" She purred as if she didn't want him to be angry to her, she had always been spoiled actually. Although she dislike being spoiled, she thought it gave her some adventages as well.

"When the mansion was done built."

She rolled her eyes but still sounded purring to make him do what she wanted. "Yeah and when is that?"

"I don't know honey. Perhaps in a week or two, it will be finished, alright?"

She mentally grunted to herself, it was too long that she must have been madly crazy because of that evil creature in a week or two. "Dad I don't wanna stay in this hotel. Well, I'll stay anywhere but this hotel. Please?"

"Don't do this again, Lee Hyorin. You asked me and your brother to give you the best hotel in Seoul that you wanted to stay there peacefully until our mansion was done built. So then your brother picked the hotel, we made our deal, that's it." Her father said softly referring to their deal earlier about where she wanted to stay in.

"But daddy─"

"No buts, ands or ifs. We made a deal, so zip it."

"Fine." She grunted heavily, frustratedly. Her father sighed when hearing her grunt, not to mention he knew that there was something she didn't like with the hotel. "What's the actual reason of the question?"

"I just wanted to move out..." She spoke in purr and pouted her tiny coral lips.

Her father seemed to be unconvinced, he heaved a huge deep sigh, and then started to spoke again in reply. "Well, that's not good enough to convince me on moving you out of there. I will grant your wish unless you give me a better reason that makes sense. Okay? I have to go now."

"But─"

"He's driving." She suddenly heard her brother spoke on the phone, it was reluctant and low as if he just woke up. "Ya, what are you doing, Youngjin oppa?"

"Attending a meeting to begin our deal of working together with other company to accompany dad. You should be grateful you didn't have to do something like me! You're living peacefully in the hotel, attending elite schools." He adviced to her carefully, as if he was her mentor, but sometimes she'd take his words as an advice and applied it to her lifestyle.

"Really? Good luck then, I'll pray for you." She said simply and practically with a soft chuckle escaped her lips. "I'm just having a little issue with someone here and shcool, that's why I want to move out from the hotel."

"I guess it's an issue with your newest boyfriend?"

"No way in hell! Ugh, please, he's not my boyfriend. Why the hell would I date such an evil living creature?" She protested on how he teased her that afternoon but yet she didn't realize she was, somehow, almost blushing.

"Hate can turns into love. Don't you know?"

"I don't care. Because it never happened to me after all." She said carelessly, looking at her nails of her hand while her other hand was still holding the phone. "Well, it happened to me, girl. Oh, and why did you hate him so much?"

"Just stop talking about this. Don't you know that our father was in the car with you?" She snarled at him that made him practically laughed. "He was laughing as well. Don't worry."

"What─"

"Wohoo, America has some great skycrapers!" He told her with a tone before he spoke again. "Gotta go; meeting's ahead. Talk to you later sweet pie!"

"See ya, take care!" She said before hanging up her phone call and rest her back on the bed again. Hate can turns into love? She mused inside her head, Oh please.
