It felt like Tae Hoon wanted to fly to Mars and not come back to earth. He couldn't remember anything that happened last night and why he was sleeping with a strange woman, and not in his room either!
Tae Hoon hurriedly checked his body and made sure none of his clothes were loose. After finishing the check, Tae Hoon breathed a sigh of relief. Tae Hoon then turned his head, there was a strange woman who was fast asleep. Surprisingly, the woman was only wearing underwear.
Tae Hoon hurriedly moved from there because he didn't want to get caught. He stepped quickly and slowly, looking for the exit. As soon as he got out of the apartment, Tae Hoon ran as fast as he could to the bus stop, called a taxi and went straight to campus.
He didn't have time to shower or even eat breakfast. When he checked the clock on his phone, it was already forty minutes past eight. He didn't have much time to get ready.
"This day is really messed up!" Tae Hoon leaned his back against the taxi seat as he let out a long heavy breath.
He desperately wanted to remember what happened last night, so that he wouldn't misunderstand what happened. Tae Hoon was also confident that he wouldn't do anything sexual with a strange woman.
Tae Hoon was not a wild animal. Throughout the lesson, he couldn't focus because his mind was wandering. Tae Hoon really wanted to remember what happened to him last night, because he didn't want to cause any big trouble.
Even while eating in the cafeteria, his mind was clouded by the incident of him waking up in the same bed as a woman. Just remembering it at a glance annoyed him.
"Tae Hoon!"
Tae Hoon's head snapped up when he heard Ji Hye's voice calling his name. Instantly, Tae Hoon's face, which had been looking gloomy, changed story.
"Ji Hye!" Tae Hoon replied with a wide smile. Ji Hye and Hyun Woo walked together to Tae Hoon and sat in front of him.
"Hey, Tae Hoon! How was last night? Did you experience anything good?" Hyun Woo teased. At Hyun Woo's words, Tae Hoon couldn't help but recall the moment where he slept with a strange woman. Unconsciously, his face turned red with embarrassment.
"Shut up!"
Hyun Woo, who noticed the change in his best friend's face, burst out laughing. "Your face is turning red, idiot!"
"What? What's going on?" asked Ji Hye who seemed confused by the discussion between the two of them.
"Oh, so this is— aw!" Hyun Woo's sentence was cut short by Tae Hoon suddenly stomping very hard on the back of his foot.
"It's nothing! Don't listen to him." Tae Hoon replied hurriedly. He deliberately didn't want to tell Ji Hye what happened to him last night, it was because Tae Hoon didn't want to make Ji Hye misunderstand him.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Hyun Woo irritably.
"You just shut up."
"Hey!"
"Wow, what a coincidence!"
Tae Hoon, Hyun Woo, and Ji Hye all looked up at the same time when they noticed the arrival of a strange woman. The three of them looked very surprised by the woman standing in front of them.
"Hai! I can sit here, right?" the woman asked Tae Hoon. Tae Hoon couldn't answer due to shock. He recognized the woman, the one he slept with last night. Tae Hoon thought that they would never meet again, but he was wrong! For Tae Hoon, this was a big deal!
Tae Hoon didn't know that the woman who was smiling at him was a famous influencer, Han So Hyun.
"You... What are you doing here?!" Tae Hoon asked with a shocked expression. While So Hyun just smiled without any intention of replying. The next second he moved from there and sat next to Tae Hoon.
Naturally, the atmosphere in the cafeteria immediately turned very excited just by her arrival. Who would have thought that the queen of famous influencers is now sitting next to a man? Tae Hoon who realized the change in atmosphere around him successfully felt uncomfortable. He was also a little uncomfortable with the students who criticized him from a distance.
"Who are you? And why are you suddenly sitting here?" Tae Hoon turned his head and asked in a tone that sounded a little annoyed.
"Am I not allowed to sit here?" So Hyun asked back by making an innocent expression. Honestly, it succeeded in making Tae Hoon shocked.
"It's not like that! But I don't know you!"
"We can get acquainted right now."
Tae Hoon was defeated. He could no longer deny So Hyun's words and told her to leave. Tae Hoon could only exhale harshly and went back to eating his food. So Hyun continued to look at Tae Hoon while smiling sweetly. She didn't take her eyes off him for a second. Because of her actions, many people suspected that So Hyun liked Tae Hoon. They also suspected that So Hyun and Tae Hoon had a special relationship. The views of the people around made Tae Hoon even more uncomfortable.
"Your name is Han So Hyun, right?" Ji Hye suddenly opened her voice. Her eyes were sharp and implied a slight dislike for So Hyun.
"Yes, that's me," So Hyun replied without glancing back.
"What's your relationship with Tae Hoon? As far as I know, Tae Hoon has no other female friends besides me."
So Hyun flinched slightly at Ji Hye's words. Then she turned her head, looking at Ji Hye with sharp and slightly cold eyes.
"Do you know everything about Tae Hoon?" So Hyun asked back.
"Of course! I'm his friend!"
"Then, you must know about me and Tae Hoon sleeping together—" So Hyun's sentence was interrupted by Tae Hoon suddenly covering her mouth with his palm.
Obviously So Hyun was shocked when she saw Tae Hoon's expression that looked angry at her. His jaw looked hardened and his eyes were very sharp.
"We need to talk." Without waiting for So Hyun's approval, Tae Hoon took her hand and led her away in a hurry. Suddenly, everyone in the cafeteria immediately became excited again and started filming the action of them holding hands.
Hyun Woo could only gape wide-eyed at his friend who was being squeezed by a famous influencer. How could he not feel jealous? But he was also happy that Tae Hoon finally got a girlfriend! Unlike Ji Hye who was looking a little annoyed.
Tae Hoon took So Hyun to a place quite far from the crowd. After arriving, Tae Hoon immediately let go of So Hyun's hand and opened his voice.
"What are you doing?"
"What?" So Hyun asked back with an expression of feigned ignorance.
"Don't lie. What exactly happened last night? Why was I with you and sleeping in your house?" Tae Hoon's jaw seemed to harden, his gaze sharp and his forehead furrowed.
"Do I have to explain it in detail?"
"What?"
"Even if I explain it to you, the fact that we slept together won't change."
This time So Hyun's words made his blood boil even more. Tae Hoon's patience was wearing thin.
"What do you want?"
"Hum? What do you mean?"
"Please don't beat around the bush! You know, right, that we don't know each other. Why are you acting like this to me?"
So Hyun was silent for a long time. She looked at Tae Hoon's face with a deep, expressionless gaze. To be honest, she was a little shocked at Tae Hoon's slightly cold attitude towards her.
"Didn't I tell you that night?"
Tae Hoon's brow furrowed again. "What?"
"The reason I kept approaching you, is because I like you."
Tae Hoon was successfully petrified. His eyes rounded and his mouth opened slightly in surprise. Meanwhile, So Hyun's previously flat face slowly changed, a sweet smile plastered on her face.
"I like you, Kim Tae Hoon."
