Han Xuya apologized

"I hope there won't be any more misunderstandings between us. I'll never create trouble for you or your friends again. I finally understood the difference between real and fake friends. Now I know who truly cares for me.

"I was stupid enough to hold a grudge against you for winning the Campus beauty title. It was unfair of me to do that. Now I understand why people used to mock me and praise you. Next time I'll get that title with my natural beauty.

 "If not for my stupidity, then maybe I wouldn't have been so easily manipulated by those who claimed to be my friends." She sighed and looked to the woman at her side. "I need to thank Ye Yuyan, who made me see reason. If not for her, then maybe I would still be around those bootlickers who didn't care about me. Regardless, I still need to take responsibility for what I did. And so, once again, I'm sorry."

She took a deep breath before continuing. "And so, I hope that we can put all that happened behind us." Han Shuya extended her hand.

Han Shuya's apology left Yan Shu momentarily startled. But she quickly came back to her senses and shook hands with her. "I forgive you Shuya. From now on, let's worry about moving forward. You can join us for lunch if you want."

"Thanks, but I already had lunch. I was already about to leave when I bumped into you. Besides, you're with your friends, and I don't want to be a bother. Goodbye." After saying that, Han Shuya and Ye Yuyan left.

"Oh. My. GOD!" Song Yun exclaimed as soon as the two were out of earshot. "She just came to you and apologized."

"I know, I was there," Yan Shu answered with a tinge of sarcasm. "Let's hurry and eat." She pushed open the doors and entered the canteen.

Just like Song Yun, everyone else in the group was surprised. The whole department was aware of the grudge Han Shuya had against Yan Shu. They all wondered how that Ye Yuyan managed to solve that.

The group sat down and ordered their food. They all remained in silence until Song Yun couldn't take it anymore and asked what everyone was thinking about: "Why do you think she changed so much?"

"No idea," Yan Shu answered. "Something must have happened to her. But I've got to say, it felt very weird to see her without her lackeys."

"Yeah, and now there's only that Ye Yuyan, who I had never seen before." Song Yun said and Yan Shu agreed. "Does any of you guys know who she is?"

Kim Bi Bum was the only one who didn't shake his head. "I saw her once trying to talk to Han Shuya, but her lackeys mocked and chased her away. I'm not sure how she managed to get close to her, but it seems obvious that she has a lot to do with Han Shuya's sudden change."

"Yeah, but I don't think that's all," His sister, Kim Boo Ra added. "I heard that she confessed to Ho Joon Jae, the council president, but got rejected. That must be what sparked the change."

Song Yun's curiosity peaked at that. "Really? I didn't know of that. Tell me everything," she demanded with bright eyes."Sorry, but that's all that I know. If you want to know more about it, then you'd have to ask Ho Joon Jae."

Yan Shu knew that her friend was already planning to do just that, which is why she decided to prevent that. "Yunyun, forget about it. Whatever happened between them is their business. Besides, you should be focusing on the fact that we no longer have to worry about Han Shuya making trouble for us."

Song Yun agreed.

The food arrived soon afterward and they started eating.
