Sunghoon arrives to the SSAU entrance, passing in the gates while riding his motorcycle. Some notice him in the way, students and teenagers gasping on his presence. He parks to the side and takes off his helmet, shaking the strands of hair on his face. He licks his lips and looks up to the sign;

SSAU ARTS COMPETITION

He smiles to himself, excited to see seohyun. People were whispering and gasping at the same time, complimenting his looks and style. He giggles and made eye contact to one of them making them squeal.

Without wasting time, he takes already the box of pizza and breathed out. "The school is very pretty" he mutters and started moving

Room 8, this must be it. Sunghoon thought and peek at the window, the room was divided into several other rooms for the competitors to not see someone else's work. Although the competitors were now out of the room for students to vote, there were no names of the maker, so there's no cheating and no hoarding votes from people they know

It's practically fair so people will honestly vote not because the maker said so to vote them or they are friends with them. "Where is seohyun?" he mumbles impatiently and tiptoed to see if she's anywhere around

"Hi, handsome" someone coos making sunghoon look at them, she twirls the strand of her hair and sexually stared at him. He was unbothered with the woman's cat calling but now she tried to held his hand;

"Fuck off sweetheart"

Someone curses and pulls sunghoon to step back, "Who are you?" The girl irritatedly asked being annoyed to her presence. "I'm the guy's faithful companion, so don't even think you can lay a finger on him" Seohyun glares at the woman as it rolled their eyes and left

"Woah, what happened to you" sunghoon gasped seeing her with an exhausted face, charcoal dust on her cheek- maybe even her nose. Sunghoon careful wipes it with his thumb. "Oh" seohyun utters, "I thought I've clean that off already" she adds and sighs

"So, how was-"

"I don't want to talk about it Sunghoon. End of discussion. Bye" Seohyun walks out to the building quickly, sunghoon flinches in the sudden mood. "Yah! Kim Seohyun! Where are you going?"

"Yah! Seohyun" he pants and rests his hands to his knees before chasing her again. She finally stops at the school garden and faces him, her eyes were stocking tears ready to get out

"H-hey, what's wrong?" Sunghoon catches up and held her hand, "Seokyong is ringing in my head. I can't focus" she frowns

"Seohyun..."

"He's telling me to stop because i can't live my dream. I can't!" She screeches and squats down to the floor feeling her knees go weak. She sobs there quietly, sunghoon crouches to her level and rubs her shoulder

"You know that hyung can't do that, he's happy that you are fulfilling your dreams" he comforts the girl, "N-no. He literally said that to me! In the ear! Telling me to stop.... Because when he got a chance to live his dream he...." She discontinues her sentence and trembles, still remembering those exact words she kept hearing earlier

"Ah, I'm going crazy sunghoon. I can't!" She cries, "It's your trauma again, okay? Regardless of that, why don't you tell me how did you do? Did you got many votes?" He changes the topic for her to stop

"I got fifteen votes... Out of a hundred and thirty students" she frowns and guides herself to get up. "Honestly, i hated my work. Like so much, i dislike it so much" she groans and dusts her jeans

"You know, not every first try will be great. My mom said it took 4 years for me to get a grand trophy. So keep going! Hyung will always be there for you, he wants you to be happy" sunghoon encourages the girl with a warm smile. Her lips soon forms a smile too and hugs him tight

"Thank you.." she mumbles, "Now let's eat pizza before they hand out your certificates" Sunghoon cheers and shows the box of pizza

"Hurry up with the editing. I need it before i leave korea for a business trip" Mr. Hong says in the side of the phone, the other person hums and hangs up the call. He sighs and shoves his phone in his pocket

His wife, Mrs. Hong, enters their office. Wearing a thick and long coat. "I'll go to the parks now" she announces and clutches her bag

"Be careful, okay? They might hurt you" Mr. Hong reminds his wife and slowly gets worried. She chuckles, "Don't worry they won't hurt me. They still think I'm innocent among the hongs" she glares mischievously and pecks his cheek

"I'll be back by nine. Maybe even earlier if they fall for it easily" she smirks and leaves

Now the parks have their weaknesses, what about the kims?
