The story entangles four people and how a single life affects the life of other three. This is a classic example of how far a girl can go for her ambition, how far a boy can go for his love and how far a man can go for correcting his past mistakes. LOVE, LUST, DESIRES AND AMBITION when come together, see what happens. But, above all this story is all about how much strength it takes to forget the scars of past and start over again. Sometimes it not about being with someone but with ourselves.
"Er Xia!" I screamed, while walking to her dorm. I pushed the door and went inside. She was in the bathroom where she was singing as if she is performing in a concert. I knocked the door thrice and then she asked "hey! Where were you all night? The warden was asking for you."
"I slept with a stranger who stole my bag" I said in a low tone.
"What?" she said and instantly came out of the bathroom with her bathrobe on.
"What? Have I heard right?" she asked again.
"Yes!" I whispered.
"Oh you fox! How could you do it without me? We were supposed to do it together" she said without understanding her own statement.
"Buzz off! I am not interested in you" I said cheekily and laughed.
"Oh! I mean with different guys- in different rooms; but now when you are no longer a virgin, how does it feel?" she asked
"Ah! Actually I don't remember anything. It's the guy who told me that we had that done last night." I said.
"What? Are you stupid or what?"
"I know I am but..."
"Leave all that. Tell me who's the guy? How does he look? Does he own a car? Is he handsome?" she asked too many questions in a row in one breath.
"Please don't hit me after listening to this." I said
"Don't tell me you are dating my cousin" she said and laughed like a devil.
(His cousin approached me long ago but I had no feelings for him. So I denied. Xia was so happy to know that I rejected her cousin. She has always been jealous of him because of all the pampering he gets being a scholar)
"Ah!" I screamed and added "No! I slept with Kim Taetae". I spoke as fast as possible for me. She then smirked and said "I may look stupid to you but I am quite smart. Do you think I'll believe this shit you are telling me right now. Oh! Little poor girl, that guy has too many girls around him. I've even heard that he gets a contract signed for sleeping with him."
"Yes, you are right! I also signed that contract." I said and showed him my thumb.
She looked at my thumb intensely and said "Did you do drugs?" I was amazed at her question. She then added "are you hallucinating?"
I looked at my thumb it was clear. It had no colour on it. Maybe, it washed off. I then made a puppy face and said "I swear Xia, it was Taetae. I had spent my last night with that moron and look I got my bag back too." I said pointing at my bag.
"This doesn't proof that you lost your virginity to him." She said.
"If I did it once, I can do it twice too. I promise to have proof next time." I said in a boastful manner, knowing that I would never ever get in touch with him anymore.
She then added "Even if it happened, keep it to yourself because nobody's going to believe you anyway. So what's the point in letting anyone know about it? I hope you understand"
I understood why she said all that to me. Firstly, she thinks I am lying to her. Secondly, Taetae's image is kind of Casanova type. So, it will only affect my reputation. Third, it's time for internship programme; I need to have a clear and good image of myself in front of my professors. So I won't let anyone know what happened last night...
