LECTURER
Chapters 22. "I Don't Want to Be Alone. "

Yoona settles down slowly. Half of his head was clogging, peering at a man standing in front of the class while explaining his college eyes. The lecturer, Mr. Siwon.

His smile expanded itself timidly. Yoona held her cheeks that met red and giggled amusedly at Mr. Siwon who was now seriously listening to a question from one of the students.

Ah, anxiety.

Next to Yoona's hand waved itself towards Mr. Siwon who of course the Lecturer was unaware of Yoona's whereabouts. Yoona's forehead wavy with pursed lips, which the young lady then nodded to herself like a person listening to a child speak.

"What are you doing?"

"Geez!" Yoona was shocked. The young woman held onto her chest that was beating in surprise.

Seeing Sehun who looked at her flatly Yoona so sighed, as if grateful that caught her was Sehun. The next Yoona frowned at Sehun who was wearing casual clothes that were not as neat as usual.

"What meda?" ask Sehun.

Yoona blinked, waking up. The young woman scratched behind her ear, misbehaving. He cleared his throat later, "Mister himself, tumben dressed casually," said Yoona actually just wanted to divert the conversation.

"I'm looking for you" Sehun said.

"Huh?"

Sehun melengos, "there's something I want to talk about," he explained. "Follow me!" the next one passed first.

Yoona looked at that, silent for a while trying to guess what talk Sehun would talk to her about?

Yoona got into Sehun's silver car. The young woman sat beside Sehun who was sitting behind the wheel.

The campus parking lot is slow because some students choose not to bring a vehicle and go by bus or subway.

Sehun looked straight ahead. The man tapped on the steering wheel in front of him, feeling awkward for the first time with Yoona.

"Yoona," called Sehun without looking at Yoona.

Yoona turned, "hm?"

"It's about our marriage" Sehun said. The man took a breath and exhaled slowly which then turned to Yoona making their gazes meet.

Yoona gulped. "Yes?"

"Without me telling you you already know, if I have a lover," Sehun paused for a few moments trying to sort out a sentence that would have otherwise offended Yoona. "Anything with you is something I can't do. I told you if—"

"Then how?" cut Yoona. He did not want to hear any further useless explanations from Sehun.

"I'll take her in front of Dad" replied Sehun who now succeeds in making Yoona shocked and in disbelief. "Before, Dad already knew and—"

"Hm, great. After all, it wasn't just Mister who didn't want to do that," Yoona again cut out Sehun's sentence. The young lady leaned her back and shifted her gaze so looked straight ahead. Simultaneously, his net catch the figure of Jaehyun walking will enter the parking area with Eunwoo.

"Do as Mister would like, let me know if the result is as Mister expected," Yoona said as she opened the car door, "and let's cut ties afterwards," added Yoona then passed out after throwing her sweet smile.

"Hey, Jung Jaehyun!" yoona shouted to Jaehyun.

Sehun was silent. Her body was fixated not thinking Yoona would smile like that. The smile that was usually only shown to Siwon was now shown to Sehun?!?

"Jaehyun!" Yoona jumped up while waving one hand like a child calling her schoolmate cheerfully.

Yoona calls out between Jaehyun and Eunwoo. The young lady jumped up, embracing Jaehyun's shoulder made the young man slightly bow his body. While Eunwoo to his left chuckled at the closeness of these two friends.

***

Yoona dropped herself on the sofa that was inside her room. Recall his conversation with his parents. Yoona glared loudly while scrambling her hair in frustration.

Yoona realized, until anytime, she would never be able to escape from this game. But on the other hand, Yoona also knows that she cannot stay in this game because the longer it feels different.

"Yoona?"

Hearing her name being mentioned and her shoulders being touched, made Yoona flinch in shock. Reverie's scum.

"Huh?"

"You okay?" jaehyun asked who had seen Yoona shut up and stared blankly.

"Huh?"

Yoona looked dazed. The young woman looked at Jaehyun and in any direction as if seeking her self-awareness.

"Ahh, I, I just don't know what to do," replied Yoona finally.

Jaehyun is currently in Yoona's room, Yoona's apartment. Working on the duties of Professor Taeil who again he paired with this young woman. It was nothing, but since that incident Jaehyun felt a little awkward with Yoona even though Yoona seemed to have forgotten about the incident.

"Do you want to rest? I can do this in the living room or I can just go home—"

"No!" cut Yoona quickly while intercepting and pulling Jaehyun's hand made the young man re-occupy himself beside Yoona.

Yoona ducked down, the woman subconsciously clutching Jaehyun's hand that was still in her grasp.

"Yoo–Yoona—"

"I don't want to be alone" said Yoona almost like a whisper.

Jaehyun gulped, his eyes glancing at the bed not far from where he was sitting. The young man shook his head trying to expel his dirty thoughts.

Don't be like this, Jaehyun should be grateful that Yoona gave the opportunity to improve their relationship and stay friends.

Yoona then turned her head, along with that Jaehyun also did the same thing making their gazes collide with each other.

Jaehyun gulped, again. Her heart rippled to see Yoona's pretty face this close. Yoona is beautiful, very beautiful. In Jaehyun's eyes, Yoona was perfect. Not having the slightest defect. This kind of woman, could she have as she realized beside this woman was a man who was much more everything than her?

This nobody's Jaehyun, would it be too greedy to wish on Yoona?

"Yoo .. na." Jaehyun's voice was barely heard if Yoona's distance wasn't this close.

"Jaehyun, do you want—"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

Yoona and Jaehyun compactly flinched and distanced themselves and both looked to the source of the voice which then grew even more shocked when they found Sehun standing in the doorway with his already hardened jaw and gaze the sharp one pierced in the direction at the two young-men in front of him.
