Sunoo and Niki were in the office, on the 85th level of Kim Corporation, listening intensely to the man, sitting opposite them, to his instructions, or 'lecture'.
"Niki, isn't it? You are friends, with my son?"
"Yes sir, I'm Niki, nice to meet you."
"I think by now, you are aware of what Sunoo needs to accomplish, right?"
"Yes sir-"
"And WHY, do I need to do that?" Sunoo retorts in anger, as the boy has lived a quiet life away from his family for nearly 3 years straight, but can't believe his father asks him to come back to his old life at a timing like this.
Chairman Kim's once friendly smile turns into a deep glare, as both father and son intensely glare at each other. Niki just tries to back away slowly, to the couch, letting both father and son talk.
Chairman Kim smashes his palm on the poor wooden table, getting to his feet, yanking Sunoo's collar. Niki was worried, and surprised a father would do that to his son, but still sits on the couch, watching intently, with fear.
"You listen to me, you brat. I am your father. And sadly, YOU are my son, and I will NOT watch you give UP your rights as the next heir to someone like KIM SUNGJAE." Sunoo's heart starts to thump in fear, at the mention of his brother's name, not even Niki knows who the guy is.
"Why can't you just get out of my sight, why can't you just leave me alone!" Sunoo screams in anger, but his father just laughs it off.
"Leave you alone? Me? You are my flesh and blood, who are you to live like them? Like an average person? Do you need me to remind you that you are not! You better start behaving like how you should be, like how the son of the Chairman should be! You understand me? Start learning to be like me, and my wealth would not be all lost if you became the chairman. Now run along, both of you." The chairman's words stuck in Sunoo's mind, before both of them leave, Sunoo's father reminds the boy how he needs to attend a private academy for the rich, and his private trainings everyday after his idol schedule.
Upset at the sudden arrangement, and his change in life, he couldn't do anything to show his displeasure. Both boys leave the building, after learning about what Sunoo has to do, from tomorrow onwards. Sunoo's expression visibly changes after leaving his father's company.
"Hyung, don't feel too upset, I'm sure things will become better," Niki comforts Sunoo as they make their way to their trainings, and dance practices. Time passed as their trainings finally come to an end.
As Enhypen leave for dinner, Sunoo receives messages from several people.
Abbeoji
I enrolled you already, with Niki as well, so you better show up. Don't forget who you are, you choose for yourself. Kpop Idol just Sunoo, or Prince of Kim Corporation, Kim Sunoo.
Seung-Bu Private High
Dear Student Kim Sunoo, you are now a student of Seung-Bu Private High. Please report to school next Monday, we look forward to your arrival.
Manager hyung
I'm sure you know about your enrollment at Seung-Bu Private High, I have received Niki and you uniforms, so get ready for school next Monday. Pd nim already got the news, so there will be changes to your schedule. Persevere on, Sunoo ah.
After the messages, Sunoo could only sigh in annoyance at his father's actions. It has only been a week since Sunoo graduated from Hanlim, and he is back in school again. "Hyung, I received a message from Seung-Bo School, did you also get one?" Niki whispers to him as Sunoo shows his message screen.
"I'm sorry for bringing you into this mess, Niki ah," Sunoo felt bad for bringing Niki in unknowingly. "Aniya, it's fine, I'll accompany you through the whole time hyung, I'm thankful I'm in this with you," Niki smiles gratefully, as Sunoo could only pull the innocent young boy in for a hug, guilt bugging him.
"We have to go to school on Monday, and today is. . . Friday, so we have the weekend to explain to hyungs about us going to school," Niki reminds Sunoo, as they know Heeseung would make a fuss again about their different schedules, as he cared for everyone in the group.
"Yeah ok, I'll explain to him, leave it to me," Sunoo reassures him, softly playing with Niki's hair in the van.
As the day ends, Sunoo was awake until nearly 2 in the morning, thinking about his life choices, and how he is going to live as an idol, and as Kim Corporation's Kim Sunoo. It was a big change for him, as he never thought he has to take over. However, sooner or later, his members would know about his real identity, and situation.
'I have to learn to live that way then, as Enhypen Sunoo, and Kim Sunoo.'
