On the other side, SungJin got to know that HyunAh locked Sarang in a room. When he saw the CCTV footage of 'Open college talent' his face frowned.
"Who is he? What's he doing there with Sarang? It's their plan to ruin her again?"
Beom Seok felt the temperature of the room decreased immediately, "It was an accident. He got locked up with her accidentally. He doesn't have any kind of relationship with HyunAh. Wait, don't tell me that you don't know he was the guest of 'Open college Talent'. Jin Chen was the son of Mr.Jin"
"Why should I know about him?"
Beom Seok almost spouted blood. 'How could you not know about the guest you invited'
"Where's she now?" SungJin asked him. "Sarang went to hangout with her friends. It's seems she's going to stay at her friend's mansion" Beom Seok said to him what the shadow guards informed him.
"Whose mansion?"
"Chan Woo one of her friend" Beom Seok suddenly felt a chill went through his spine when he noticed the changes in SungJin, "Hey relax. He is just a friend. There's nothing going on between them. Besides she's not staying their alone with him, her other three friends also staying with her"
Beom Seok tried to calm SungJin but it didn't worked, "I don't think she will fall for anyone right now. It's not even three months that she canceled her engagement with Kang family's son. Even if anyone confess their feelings to her, I'm sure she will reject them immediately. I'm hundred percent sure so you don't have to worry about that"
Beom Seok word made it worse.
'What will he do if she reject him as well? What will he do then?' SungJin never felt nervous in his entire life. But right now the uneasiness is killing him.
No, he thought he have to come with a plan to make sure that she will never reject him.
--------------------------------------
I can't believe she won. How could she possibly defeat Joo Won?" Mina throw the plate on the floor.
Mr.Lee, her father was taken back by her sudden outburst. He knew that his daughter didn't participate in the 'Open college Talent' because the NLU wants to give the opportunity for the first years which he gladly accepted. In his point of view the one who was talented should not be neglected. But he didn't think that his daughter will be affected like this.
"Mina, what are you doing? You're a young miss of Lee family. If anyone saw you behaving like this what will others gossip behind our back?" Mrs.Lee scolded her.
"Mom, it has to be me. I should have won this time. But they neglected my effort and made that poor girl to compete" Mina started to cry.
"I can understand what you're feeling. At the same time you should know that we can't always enjoy the happiness. We should also learn to accept the failure. I heard she's your fellow junior. You should be happy for her" Mrs.Lee tried to calm her daughter.
"Mom, you don't understand my feelings. I have been humiliated by her in front of everyone. Because of her HyunAh got suspended from the college. At last minute my name has been removed. How can you ask me to be happy for her?" Mina shouted. She behaved like she was wronged by Sarang.
Mrs.Lee helplessly looked at Mr.Lee who have been ignoring his daughter tantrum. Because he know very well why HyunAh got suspended and what Mina and HyunAh planned to do with the first year student.
"Enough Mina. Stop behaving like a child. Did you forgot he is returning to the city? If he saw you behaving like this do you think he'll accept you? Focus on your studies. Or else I'll make sure you'll never get to meet him" her father last sentence startled her.
No, no. I did all the dirty things to get him. He's mine. Only mine.
-------------------‐----
Everyone in the department congratulated Sarang for winning the competition. She was the first person who defeated Joo Won in the 'Open college Talent'.
"Why don't you flaunt about your winning? Why are you so quiet and humble" Chan Woo shook his head helplessly. "Do you think everyone is shameless as you?" Jae Suk pushed him away from Sarang.
Last two days Jae Suk started be an over protective brother to Sarang which slightly annoyed her. She felt like he was another version of Seok Chan.
"I already said to my parents that my friends are coming home for the dinner this weekend" Jae Suk informed to them.
"What a miracle! Usually you will meet your family once in a while because of their work" Chan Woo said.
"I have my way" Jae Suk smirked by recalling how he threatened his father that if they don't come on by weekend Jae Suk will throw his father's vintage vinyl records into the trash. That made his father freak out and ordered his family members to gather on weekend.
"Stop smirking. You're being creepy" Chan Woo moved away from him.
Jae Suk ignored him and turned to Sarang, "I tried to know about JinAe but it's same as you. I couldn't able to find anything"
Sarang frowned after hearing him. "Stop frowning. Even though I can't able to find about her my elder brother can find about her. That's why I invited you to my house for dinner. And also" Jae Suk looked at Byeol.
Sarang chuckled, "And also you want to introduce your girlfriend to your family"
Byeol cheeks beeted red after hearing Sarang, "What are you saying". Byeol cupped her cheeks and looked at Jae Suk who returning her gaze.
"Aish! These guys making this single dog jealous" GaEun rested her head on Sarang.
Sarang smile faded when she thought about the person who helped Mina. How much power that person have? When time comes can she able to confront them?
-------------------
Jae Bum secretly peeked at SungJin who looked calm after hearing that Sarang planned to have dinner at his home.
"SungJin, I really didn't expect that my brother to bring her home"
Beom Seok on the other hand, "Why your brother wants your family to meet her? Don't tell me he wants to meet her as his girlfriend" he gasped and looked at SungJin.
Jae Bum kicked Beom Seok and mouthed him to keep quiet.
SungJin lips twitches, "This weekend I'll go to your home" he stood up and adjusted his necktie "You're coming with me" he pointed at Beom Seok.
"Me? Why?" I'm not interested to meet your love rival. Beom Seok shook his head.
SungJin was not listening to his cries as he exited the room.
"You don't have any other choice. I'm willing to face this demon alone" Jae Bum patted Beom Seok shoulder.
"Why do I have to suffer" Beom Seok fake cried.
