Do Your Shoulders not Feel Heavy? (2)

"All right, time for you to stop being lovey-dovey…" The brow-haired Joon said when they came to their classroom.

"Joon Seonbae, what lovey-dovey?" Eun-Jung protested, they were just holding hands and their chatting had been only about school.

She puffed her cheeks at him before smiling brightly at Bon-Hwa, "See you at lunch, Bon-Hwa Oppa." She turned and went away; they were taking different courses.

As Bon-Hwa and Joon had coincided on many of their courses, they didn't part ways and entered the same classroom.

When they entered the classroom, it was pretty noisy.

"What a boisterous morning…" Bon-Hwa said as he rubbed his temples.

"Indeed," Joon replied before grabbing someone he knew, "What's so interesting, Hyuk?"

"Hey, Joon… hello." A young man of average height and pretty short hair said.

"Yes, hello."

"Bon-Hwa is here too…" Hyuk said when he saw Bon-Hwa sat quietly in the last row of the classroom through the corner of his brown eyes.

Bon-Hwa nodded in reply.

"So… what's so interesting?" Joon asked again.

"Well…"

"Hyun-Jae!"

"Lee Seonbae."

"So it's true that Lee Seonbae came back."

"That's what's interesting," Hyuk replied after the clamour of the other students and stretched both hands out signalling a beautiful young woman with a cold expression.

"Oh, just that…" Joon turned around and went to sit next to Bon-Hwa.

"Yeah, people of the same circle can say 'just that'." Hyuk shrugged his shoulders and went to his friends and whispered something.

"Joon! Bon-Hwa! Nice to see you again," one of them, who had green eyes and blond hair, waved his hand and said loudly with a smile.

'So early and Sang-Ook already wants to ruin Bon-Hwa's mood,' Joon thought as he said, "I wish I could say the same, Sang-Ook Seonbae."

"Ouch, you broke my heart," Sang-Ook winked at them.

'This little…' Joon thought, 'Being raised overseas can't be the reason of his nasty personality...'

SIGH. Bon-Hwa prepared himself.

"Im Seonbae."

"Joon, how was your holiday?"

"Im Hubae."

"Seo Joon Seonbae, hi."

"------"

Many students began to approach them to chat. Seo Joon didn't have much problem with it despite thinking it was annoying but Im Bon-Hwa preferred quietness or a less boisterous conversation.

'Umm…?' The beautiful young woman with cold expression and straight long black hair had also turned around with the noise and was staring deeply at Im Bon-Hwa through the sea of people.

"Ah! That's right," a female of short dark hair next to her said, "Hyun-Jae, you don't know about Im Hubae and Joon Hubae, right?"

"… No." Lee Hyun-Jae turned around to her slowly.

"After you went overseas two years ago, in the new crop of first years, those two became part of the new stars.

"It isn't unusual seeing wealthy people in our department but it is unusual seeing heirs of mayor companies.

"Moreover, Im Hubae is like you, an only child.

"Joon Hubae is Seo Enterprise's CEO second child. He is easy to approach and make conversation with.

"Im Hubae is Cosmos Entertainment's CEO only child. Though he has a gentle and drowsy expression, and he replies kindly, he has this strange air of tranquillity that doesn't let you approach. It's quite odd."

"Indeed," Lee Hyun-Jae nodded, "It is strange," she added and narrowed her dark eyes. Through all the people she could more or less see that Im Bon-Hwa was being hugged by the neck from behind by a female of wavy long black hair, 'Is that a hanbok? A ghost? But… is it because she is sleeping? I can't feel her.' She contemplated as though she perfectly knew what she was talking about.

"… Hyun-Jae, Lee Hyun-Jae!"

"… Yeah?" Lee Hyun-Jae turned and when she saw her 'where did you go?'-expression, she said, "So… is that why you address Im Hubae by his surname and not his giving name, Woong?"

"Yup, as I told you it is odd. There isn't many that…"

"All right. All back to your seats."

"Professor Kang, when did he…" someone called out before his voice became a soundless murmur.

"Ahn Mi-Cha."

"Here."

"------"

The teacher entered the classroom and began roll call right away, making all quickly sat and be quiet; Professor Kang was known for being extremely strict and taciturn.
