Chapter 13 - 13 Son of Gumiho

June 1, 2021

Baekyeon University

The crowd occurred in the cafeteria of the Faculty of Chemistry at Baekyeon University in Seoul, South Korea. The cafeteria is a favorite place to eat for all students from various majors and levels, even some lecturers sometimes eat in the cafeteria. The reason the place is a favorite for campus residents is because they have a very tasty food menu, but at prices that are very suitable for the wallets of students.

But for the female students, there is a special reason they like the canteen, especially since three years ago. This was due to the presence of Hwang Ian, a sixth semester student majoring in Chemistry who became an idol for all college students. The young man always had lunch there together with his friends or even just alone sometimes.

If he is alone, the students who will have lunch will compete to sit at the nearest table to him, or even compete to sit with him. The students not only liked him in silence, they dared to confess their feelings to The Young Hwang, but all these statements were flatly rejected.

But strangely, instead of being upset, or maybe for those who have not advanced, "facing Ian chose to retreat, they actually went crazy and almost made Ian go crazy.

"Guys!"

Screaming with a heavy voice made almost everyone in the cafeteria turn their heads towards the source of the sound. A tall young man, wearing a white T-shirt with black stripes and a gray jacket, ran to Ian's table, where he was having lunch with four of his best friends. The young man was a friend of Ian, his name was Wang Su Bin. He was a very noisy figure, noisier than the women.

"Guys!"

Su Bin, who was already at his best friend's table, gathered to catch his breath for a moment, because he had just run from the management faculty building, which was quite a distance from the cafeteria of this chemistry faculty.

"What is it?" The question was asked by Kim Yoo Ri, dyed her shoulder-length hair brown.

She is a student at the same university as Ian. She had known Ian since she was in the fifth grade of elementary school, at that time Ian was a transfer student in her class. During elementary school, Ian was known as a quiet and strange student, according to his other classmates. But not for Yoo Ri, she chose to be friends with Ian. From that moment until now, they have established a good friendship relationship.

"There is good news!"Su Bin said excitedly.

"The good news is that you mean only for yourself," said Kim Seo Joon after sipping his drink. This young Kim is in the music department, because his love for music is very large, especially since his father is a pianist whose name is very famous. Although his father was a famous pianist, he never boasted about it. No one-except his friends-knew he was the son of a famous pianist.

Su Bin chuckled at the words of his famous friend. "Why are you never happy with what your best friend feels?" The young man, Wang then chose to sit down, because he had been standing.

"What good news do you have?" asked Kim Min Jee.

She is Seo Joon's younger sister. Unlike her older brother, who likes music so much, Min Jee just the opposite an is not too fond of music. She is a second semester chemistry student. When asked why she studied chemistry, the answer is always the same. 'I want to be on the same faculty as Ian.' It just so happened that the girl also liked Ian, even before entering college, because her brother had been friends with The Young Hwang since junior high school.

"I knew it, only Min Jee appreciates my happiness," Su Bin said as he ruffled Min Jee's mane.

"Don't touch my sister if you want to go home safely," Seo Joon threatens, clutching Su Bin's wrist. He is a very protective brother figure, which makes his sister upset because of his nature.

"So, what makes you happy?" Ian, who had been silent before, finally opened his mouth as well.

Su Bin's annoyed look returned to its cheerful state after hearing Ian's question. "Senior Lee Soo Young received my chocolate gift!" Su Bin replied happily. "I didn't think she would accept it."

"I knew it must be about that woman," said Yoo Ri, who immediately got a sharp look from Su Bin.

"Hey Min Hyung, why do you want to be this girl's boyfriend? She can't filter her words at all, " Su Bin said resentfully.

"Why would i want to be her boyfriend?" The young man who was asked turned his head, giving his lover a gentle look, "because she is beautiful and sweet," replied Lee Min Hyung, Yoo Ri's lover. He's a medical student. Unlike his girlfriend, who has been friends with Ian since elementary school with Ian, Min Hyung just met Ian when he entered college.

A conversation with random discussion then took place at the table where Ian and his companions gathered. They discussed a lot of things, and Ian just listened, but occasionally joined the conversation. Their togetherness became the subject of attention among the people in the canteen. They were very jealous of the friendship that existed between the six people. And the girls are very jealous because Yoo Ri and Min Jee are very close to Ian.

"By the way, did you know that the case of the discovery of the corpse of a girl without a heart is like a story?" asks Min Hyung suddenly, whereas before they were not talking about the case that had terrorized the city for sixteen years.

Apparently, what Min Hyung said caught Ian's attention, who immediately looked at The Young Lee. "What story do you mean?"

"Wow, Hwang Ian who is known as a person who knows a lot, apparently doesn't know that story," said Min Hyung intending to tease the Hwang youth.

"It's not just Ian who doesn't know, I don't know either," Su Bin said. He even just this time heard the similarities between a story and a case that was electrifying citizens in South Korea.

"Ah! I think i know what story you're talking about. My brother once told me about it," Yoo Ri said. "But I forgot what story it was."

"The story of a gumiho who likes the heart of a beautiful girl," said Min Hyung finally.
