"Cha Ani did you lie to Seol Ah senior by giving excuse of your makeup. Do you think we're foolish", asked Eunha politely.
Ani didn't utter a word. Everyone there started laughing and whispering at her for her foolishness.
Ani couldn't understand what to do so she said sorry. Seol Ah came forward and told her to take off her scarf from her face. Ani did the same and timidly stood before her.
"Seol Ah leave it. Junior Ani is afraid and nervous I guess. Moreover she has already said sorry", said Yeol.
"Yeol if we forgive her it will be biased view for everyone here. They all are here but no one did such a thing", said Seol Ah.
"I'm sorry senior", said Ani.
"If you're sorry then perform for us....You can either sing or dance or any other thing you like", said Seol Ah.
"Sorry senior but I don't know any of these things....", said Ani.
"Then do a catwalk", said Eunha.
"Senior I'm sorry but I don't know how to do", said Ani looking at her.
"You're giving these excuses just to escape from here. Why did you then enter here?", said Seol Ah. "Other juniors too performed here. It's like an interaction of seniors and juniors".
Ani now started panicking. "Eunha let's leave this. Junior must be frightened", said Yeol.
"Junior friends do you want her to leave?", asked Eunha.
Everyone said NO.
"Junior you've to perform else no one leave from here", said Eunha.
"I only know about maths, physics, chemistry and biology too", said Ani.
"So are you going to teach us these technical subjects? Are we here for study? If you know about these things you should be in engineering. Why are you here?", asked Eunha.
Yun thought to interrupt and started walking towards the stage when a figure cut across his path and came to the stage.
"Senior this is taking so much time shouldn't we stop here", said the student.
"May I know who are you?", asked Seol Ah.
"I'm Kim Jun from department of Engineering, a computer science student".
As soon as Ani heard Jun's voice tears started flowing from her eyes because she's doomed now. She tried to hide her face. Since Jun was already known in every faculty so the seniors recognised him.
"So you're the one who topped nation's SAT exam. It's a pleasure to meet you....we can talk later. First handle me this", said Eunha with a smile.
"Senior I'll perform", said Jun.
"But other department students aren't allowed to perform. They only can watch. Since you're so popular it would be waste if we don't see you perform", said Eunha.
"I'm going to perform on behalf of her", said Jun.
"This isn't possible", said Seol Ah smiling.
"Why? You never mentioned that other students can't perform on their friend's behalf", said Jun.
"She is your friend?", asked Seol Ah.
Jun ignored her question and said, "May I have a guitar and a chair".
"Of course...here", said Yeol and handed him the guitar.
Jun took the guitar in his hand and sat on the chair. He started singing. Everyone enjoyed the song and cheered for him. His charismatic look killed many girls there.
He then took the mic in his hand and said,"if someone says No then it's a clear No. You can't push that person to do that thing. Senior I want to say Maths, Physcis, Chemistry and Biology aren't only for engineers its for everyone. The guitar I played is based on Physics, the structure of this auditorium the things that are here all is geometry that is maths, the biological functions inside us tells about biology and chemistry. So I want to tell only thing here is not to judge things beforehand. Maybe she wants to tell something interesting that no one mentioned here. I want you to apologize from her", said Jun.
Everyone there became silent.
"Calm down dear junior Jun", said Yeol. "Of course we seniors are here for your help not to disturb you. Sorry Junior Ani to put you in such a difficult situation", said Yeol.
Jun hold Ani's hand and took her away from there. Everyone looked at them till the vanished from the auditorium hall.
"Okay the introduction ceremony ends here. Please come near the cafeteria for lunch", said Yeol.
Seniors started guiding juniors to the cafeteria.
Jun took Ani outside. Ani wiped off her face. He took her to his department area and make her sit on the park bench. He also sit beside her.
"Why are you crying?", asked Jun.
"I'm not", said Ani while wiping off her tears.
"Then what's this..", said Jun and took his handkerchief and wiped her face gently. "Why did you come when you don't know how to sing or dance".
"I don't know. Yun told me that it's a small welcome party. We don't know that they will ask to perform. Because in your department you only did a general introduction", said Ani.
"Because that's just introduction day. Didn't you see how large is engineering department. We've separate welcome party for each branch", said Jun.
"When did you start wearing such clothes. You feel uncomfortable in these still you chose to wear this", asked Jun and took of his jacket and put it on her.
"My dress got exchanged when I went to shopping with Yun", said Ani.
"Is Yun really your friend? Don't get close to him", said Jun.
"Yes I know him since childhood days.....", said Ani.
"I didn't saw him before", said Jun.
"Because he went to China when he was 5", said Ani.
"Where are your clothes? You can wear them now or should I drop you at your apartment", said Jun.
"They're in my faculty area", said Ani.
"Let's go then", said Jun.
They reached there. "It's in my locker....You wait here I'm bringing the clothes", said Ani.
Ani went to the locker and wore her coat and hat and came to Jun.
"What's this?", asked Jun looking at her with utter shock.
"My clothes", said Ani.
"You came here wearing this", asked Jun surprisingly. "It's summer..take off your coat".
"Why? I can't...I'm feeling uncomfortable in this dress", said Ani.
"Why did you wear this then? You could've asked me to bring a dress for you", said Jun.
"How could you....", said Ani and looked at him finally.
"In my home your room has so many party dresses. Any of the dress can be fit on you since you're kid", said Jun.
"Wear my jacket and take off your coat", said Jun.
Yun was also searching for Ani when he saw her with Jun. He came there and asked Ani if she is alright.
"Yeah I'm good now", said Ani with a smile.
"Let me take you home", offered Yun.
"Hmm....okay", said Ani.
"Wait where are you going?", asked Jun.
"To my room", said Ani.
"Hey you can go as I've some work with her", said Jun looking at Yun.
"I think she should go home", said Yun. Jun ignored him and took Ani out of there.
Ani was feeling somewhat happy so smile can be seen all over her face. Jun drove to her apartment. He started opening the door by putting the passcode.
"What are you doing?", asked Ani and came forward.
"Pressing the code...here it's open", said Jun.
"How do you know?", asked Ani.
Jun ignored her questions and went inside and sat on the couch. Ani get inside after him and told him to leave the room.
"You can go now....why every time you drop me you enter here. How do you know the passcode?", said Ani while not looking into his eyes.
"Anyone can know your door password. Last time when I was here you pressed it as if no one is around here. Don't you know it could be dangerous", said Jun and stood up and leaned to her.
He hold her chin and got close to her. Ani closed her eyes and thought he will kiss her. Jun with his finger flicked at her forehead and said, " stop imagining....first try to look in my eyes".
"Ahhhh...", Ani passed a low scream at rubbed her forehead.
"You should go now. I've to be ready for my part time job...", said Ani.
"You don't have to do that job", said Jun.
"Why? I want to earn money", said Ani.
"I already talked with that cafe owner to look for a new staff member and he already appointed a new one", said Jun.
"Why did you do this? I'm happy there. It was my first job", said Ani with a slight anger.
"Why are you happy there? Oh I remember your laughs with that guy who also loves chocolates and ordered a pastry for you. That's why you wanna work there", said Jun.
"Yun is close to me. I can eat and drink with him whenever I like", said Ani.
"But you won't do such thing from now on because you won't work there", said Jun with an affirmation.
