Not a Father?

Euna,

I went to college as usual. I went to submit my project to professor at his office. To my confusion, he was not there. Is professor is on leave? I kept my project on his desk and left to my class. I was greeted by cheerful smile of Haan as usuals. I smiled back as he approached me.

"Good morning. Hope you have submitted your project as today was the last date."

"How did you know about my project senior. We were not in a same class." I teased him but i was curious to know the answer. Did he really investigate on me? I was disappointed with him but at the same time, it flattered me to know that he cares for me.

"I have some friends in your class so, i knew it."

"I have never seen you with my other classmates . Who all are your friends?" I asked him in curiosity. He hesitated for a moment and changed the topic. " i actually came here to invite you in my birthday. It is tomorrow and i will send my location later. " he seemed to be encouraging me but i am not a girl who likes being in social gatherings. "Sorry Haan.. i may not be able to attend your birthday. Actually, i hate socializing with people ." I tried my best make him understand but he was reluctant.

"Don't worry. If you don't want more people then we can celebrate alone. But you have to come by any means. You are my special friend " he showed his charming smile. It touched my heart so, i agreed. I don't know the reason but i like being with him. His gentle behaviour and charming smile is flattering my heart.

"Then i will be waiting for you tomorrow " He went to his class with big smile on his handsome face. He seemed to be satisfied with my answer.

Professor came to our class when i was doing the class assignments. He seemed to be in bad mood as he was snapping at other students. He started teaching as usual but students were silently gossiping about the reason behind professor's bad mood. "Did you heard that Goddess of our class Erick was annoyed with professor. I heard that professor was scolded and got last warning from president for annoying our goddess " Students were murmuring behind but they all became silent with a dead glare from professor. That spoiled brat always cause trouble. All of sudden, door cracked open and that person came as if he heard my curse. Even if he was just standing there, there was still a cold atmosphere surrounding him. As if he always carried his own personal air conditioner. He raised his head and looked inside the class. His brown eyes were as cold as ice glaciers. I forced myself to look away when his cold graze met mine. When he went to his sit, i released my breath which i have been holding without my notice. I actually wanted to thank him for his help but it seems like it is the wrong time to do.

I ate my dinner and went for a night walk. I went down the street where less people would be seen. I was really feeling tired due to lots of assignments and projects. But i love going to college as i was getting oppertunity to meet with Haan. There was no one at street which made me more relaxed. I played one of my favourite music and went down the road. As i was devoted to music, i failed to notice a figure of man sitting on the grassland. I would have ignored that person but something inside told me to check the person. His back was facing toward me but his figure seems to be familiar with Erick.

I hesitantly moved towards him and tugged his collar of his shirt lightly. He move around with surprise written over his face. His face shined as the street light fall on it.

"I actually wanted to thank you for your help"

I forced the words out. Once he saw me, his face turned dark and dangerous. There was only silence which was killing me. After sometime, he said the unexpected things.

"You are very grateful so, you sneaked out of the house ugh?" He hissed near my ear. I was left dumbfounded with his action.

I thought you don't care about me" i whisperd trembling.

"I don't care about you. My uncle was asking about you in the morning since he has seen me carrying you yesterday. I don't need your gratitude. You can go now." His face was expressionless and his voice was so cold enough to freeze the people near him.

What? Who is he to chase me? But i kept my thoughts to myself. "I didn't heard that you also have uncle " i was really curious. I heard that he is living with his father (President of our college Mr. Lang Shang) and they don't like visitors. How come they he have uncle in his house when i was taken to his house. Wait. Does he mean that he carried me?

I was really surprised that he was the one to carry me. "Actually, President of our college is not my father. He is my uncle Lang Shang.Now go away from here before you could ask me anything. I don't care to satisfy you by answering your questions. " he snapped and turned away his cold graze.

I was really confused with his outburst. But i didn't argue with him this time. I was about to walk away but all of sudden he stopped me.

"One more thing, don't you dare to make gossip about my secret. You will never know the consequences if you annoyed me. Now get lost from my sight. I don't want to see your pitiful face anymore."

I tried to ignore his words and walk away but it has been too much. My heart was racing and i could feel the tightness in my chest.

"Hey? What do you think about yourself? I kept ignoring your words and you are really pressing your luck. Mind your language. I am not a kid" i snapped back.
