Tricks

"Big brother, why are we not heading towards the Guk family home? Are you not going with Yeo-Na again?" Chang-min who sat in the same car as the one conveying Yo-han to the sent forth party asked.

It had always been a normal way of life for him to tail after Yo-Han while the other two, Won-Shik and Ji-hun ride in Ji-hun's car whenever they go out.

He was also like Yo-Han who does not like appearing in public eye all the time and since Sa Ji-hun was a popular music and performance art student and a celebrity who had appeared on quite a number of shows, it's best for him not to go out with Ji-hun, he rather sticks with his big brother Han who share his temperament.

Yo-han kept his gaze on the road and just answer saying " I am not picking her from home, what am I? A Chauffeur?."

"Big brother you don't even have a romantic side at all, you are her date for tonight, it's only normal that you go pick her." Chang-min said.

"She gave an excuse that her date won't be going with her because he had an emergency and he is out of the country. That makes me nothing but a stand in. But I am not ready to show any courtesy because I am tired of her clinginess, I have only being giving her face because of Minister Guk." Yo-han said.

"I know you respect her father not her, but at least you could just be a gentleman...And also It's prime minister Guk now." Chang-min said but did not press Yo-han at all.

They arrived at the venue for the sent forth party just a little bit after the dinner started. Four Mysteriously handsome men entered and all eyes snapped at them with the ladies almost drooling and the guys asking God for a more handsome face.

Even though they moved in a group, eyes could discern that Yo-Han was the most handsome of all and with him missing in the gang, they wouldn't just be any ordinary group but not up to what they are.

Not only that this guy's are handsome, with Sa Ji-hun among them, they are all very popular in the school and everyone one knows the 177 gang, well since they are all from dorm room 177, that's where the nickname comes from. Everyone believes that dorm room 177 is a sanctuary because it housed four gods on their own, Chang-min, a very brilliant and award winning student from the accounting department. Sa Ji-hun a celebrity with a huge fan base, Won-Shik, a top engineering student. And last of all Yo-han a business admin first-class student too.

The presence of the 177 gang made even the angels hush when they walked by. Seriously, this guy's are really respected and loved by all. To those sophomores and freshmen, they are a real role model.

The presence of this gang stole the attention from the band that was playing and no one knew that music existed at that moment all they knew is that there are legends under this roof with them.

"It's Yo-han, he really attended the party!!" Someone from the crowd shouted.

"Are you just seeing that?, The 177 gang is here already, look how handsome they are" another said.

"Just like Greek gods, I wonder why they are still single, I wish I have a chance to shoot my shot." Another girl said.

" Me too" a guy said and he earned disgusting looks from others.

"177 are not gay, come out of your dreams" someone replied.

"Don't mind that clown,...awn see, is it true that Sa Ji-hun will perform a song tonight?"

"Yes, yes, his last performance in uni. I will go get his autograph, when he is done."

"See that's Chang-min the valedictorian."

" Yes but he is not really the valedictorian, I heard that Yo-han had a business trip so Chang-min took the role."

"But Yo-Han was there at the graduation ceremony"

"Trip must have being cancelled at last minute."

The talking went on and on and on but the subjects of the conversation are all oblivious to this.

When Yo-Han was about to walk the red carpet, that was when Yeo-Na arrived and quickly rushed to his side, panting heavily as a result of the rushing.

This was her target, walking the red carpet with Yo-han, at least that will spark some news about them being in a relationship, haha, she would really make it look real, and because Yo-Han will remain the gentleman he is, he will just play along. From their who knows what might happen about them.

That was her plan for asking Yo-Han to come. He had said he wouldn't attend the dinner before but he changed his mind because of Prime Minister Guk.

"Big Brother Han you are here already." she said as she walked by is side, holding his hands as they approached the red carpet.

" Hmm, Yes I just got here." he said while his phone rang. " Just go without me, I will answer this call" he said and walked away.

She wanted to tell him she would wait but he took very long strides and left before she found the words to say. She grumbled inside her mind because of that phone call that seems to ruin her plan. She wanted to wait for him but she still didn't want to stand here for long as she doesn't know how long it will take him.

"Yeo-Na, why don't we go in as big brother said." Won-Shik said.

"Yes, a superstar like you should not be kept standing, let's go wait for brother Han inside." Sa Ji-hun added and smiled to her.

" Brother Ji-hun, you a superstar calling me an ordinary artist a superstar, you flatter me too much." She said as she followed after the three guys to walk the red carpet.

On Yo-Han's side, he sighed when he saw his three brothers act along with him. He had set a fake caller that recognizes Yeo-Na's voice. Whenever she calls him Big Brother Han, the fake caller will trigger and send a call to his phone so that he can excuse himself.

As if he had known that she wanted to spread some knees about him, thank God and God bless who ever designed that app. He walked the red carpet alone and went in to join the others inside.

He was smiling when he saw the sitting arrangement, his two smart brothers had occupied both side of Yeo-Na. Very good, very very good.

He gave a thumbs up to them and took his seat right between Chang-min and Ji-hun.

The sent forth party was as normal as it should be for everyone except Yeo-Na whose mission had being nullified. She was so angry that she could not walk the red carpet with Yo-Han and that she could not sit beside him. If she could not walk the red carpet with him, this two Chang-min and Ji-hun could at least let her sit beside him, but they wouldn't.

She was still in between her thoughts when Ji-hun stood from his sit and said he would go and prepare for his performance.

She was so delighted that she didn't wait for him to leave before taking the chance and quickly changing her sit to his initial position on Yo-Han's left side. 'Finally', she muttered to herself and immediately started a conversation with Yo-han, putting on her best smile.

"Big brother Han, how do I look tonight,...Ehn, As a celebrity, I would like to look the best and only the best eyes can tell what's best, soooo..." She paused her speech and waited for his reply, 'probably appraisal and sweet words' she prayed.

'Did you not use your mirror before coming here Yo-han wanted to say but he just calmed down and remained the gentleman he is. "You look like you" he said and resumed what he was doing earlier.

She did not expect his reply but it did not affect her much either because she had more tricks up her sleeves.

"Big brother Han, I need your help." She said in a pleading tone, she sounded as if he was her last hope.

"What is that?" He asked.

" I ....my new album needs a very good album art that will help my publicity, I have contacted some artist and the concept they all gave me....I don't really like them, I would like if you can help. I know you are a very good artist, everyone knows that...it will really help my career and also will have a positive impact on your portfolio. Please help me" she said acting like a wife making a request from her lovely hubby.

Yo-han just watched her act and was unaffected, he even rolled his eyes mentally at her words ' ...will also have a positive impact on your portfolio', as if he needs a portfolio to get a job in the art industry, he is much more popular for his prowess and impact on the industry already not to mention his record braking sales of art piece, the one where he earned close to a billion in a day and another where one art piece sold for half a billion. Every one in the industry knows him and they are offering him huge salary so does he really need to work because he needs to build a portfolio?.

He just hissed in his head but he actually agreed to help her, since it's doing what he likes to do, then he will do it.

"Okay, we will talk about that later." He said.

She felt that it did not work like she hoped and for that reason she tried other methods to engage in a conversation with Yo-han but he was smart enough to know all her plans and avoid all of them.

At the end of the day, she got nowhere with him, and this disheartened her.

'Yo-Han, I will surely make you mine, just wait till I get you.' She said to herself after accepting defeat for today.
