I raised my head to look at who was helping me pack my results which fell on the ground a minute ago, my heart almost fell when I saw it was Jin ho, I wondered if it was the same rude Jin ho, who frustrated my college years, either he embarrassed me in front of others or he would stalk me, there was even a time he sent his friends to follow me to the toilet but I was lucky because it wasn't there to pee or poop, but to puke. I sometimes report to the school authorities but no one cared, of course they won't care, who dates to mess with Mr Zu, The best Animator in the whole of Korea son.
" Be careful next time " He said with his manipulative deep voice and I noded slowly after staring at him for a while, He walked closer to me and bent down, he patted my back before turning back to leave
I hurriedly picked my results and ran to the hall where the graduation party would be taking place. I looked around a bit before sighting Jin hye and Tae oh, I walked a short distance before getting to where they were standing
" Hey guys" I said
"Hey girl what took you so long " Ji hye asked
" Sorry I bumped into someone, besides why hasn't the party started yet " I said changing the topic
" They were waiting for you to start it " Tae oh said playfully
" Common, am not joking " I snapped
" I don't know " Tae oh said and I sighed
" I guess they were waiting for someone " I said as I saw the bouncers escorting Jin ho, his siblings and his parents to their specially arranged table
" Who " Tae oh asked and turned to look, his curious face changed to a frowning face when he saw it was Jin ho. Tae oh and Jin ho always got into fights though their families were very close that didn't concerned them, they always fought like a villain and a super hero every time for reasons which I do not know, even if Tae oh and I are close friends, he never tells me secrets, he is the sweetest narcissist I've ever seen, of course you would be wondering how a narcissist is sweet but Tae is one
The M C finally went on the stage to start the party
" Welcome everyone, Let us begin our Annual graduation party for final year college students, I hope you all enjoy the party and once again welcome " The M.C said and went down the stage. The dancers came up stage and started doing their stuffs, Tae and Jin hye rushed to the front row to film the dance, while I stayed behind
"Would you like a glass of wine" Jin ho said behind me, his chin was resting on my left shoulder and it felt weird I quickly shifted from him because I was uncomfortable, I wasn't really scared though
" No " I snapped
" I'll take that as a yes " He said and held my hand leading me to the bar, he stood there for few minutes and brought a glass of cola drink instead of wine, I was cautious enough not to drink it because I did not trust his kind gesture
" I know your thinking about my sudden change your heart, I don't know how you might feel but don't hate me, I did those stuffs for some reasons which I cannot say now but I promise to later " He explained
" Oh " I said with a calm mocking tone, I never wanted to see him again and now he's talking about later and even asking me to forgive him for making my four years in college miserable.
I kept on thinking of an excuse to leave his presence but nothing came to my mind, it felt like a miracle when Jin hye called me with her hands. I stood up from the chair with haste, but it would be rude if I just left him like that
" Am sorry but my friends are calling me so I gotta go " I said and turned to leave without turning back
" What were you both talking about?" Tae asked
" It's not like we were talking about you " I answered rhetorically
" Oh that's how it is huh?, well don't come crying to me when he bullies you " Tae said
" Guys this isn't the right time for your shenanigans and besides am not in for it so stop it " Jin hye said, Tae stood and walked to the bar angrily, he hated when I never give in to him, that was the me before, I always allowed him to keep secrets, while I told him mine, But now am grown and only " GIVE - AND - TAKE ". I only tell you when you tell me, maybe that was when we started having arguments
" Crazy " I said and scoffed
" You both are crazy " Jin hye said and followed Tae
" Jin hye wait for me " I said running.

It was time to take pictures with family members t of graduates but I only took pictures with Tae and Jin hye, because my parents couldn't afford the train fee from Gyeongju to Seoul, it was a normal thing I haven't seen them since I entered college and it was like I had lost the way hope
" Are your parents also not coming this year ? again " Tae asked
" No" I said and sighed
" I fell sorry for you but any ways we have been snapping together for years, so it's not new " Jin hye said
" Thanks guys, having you guys as friends is the best thing in the world" I said
I know !, let's go to that area it's brighter and the pictures would be nicer there" Jin hye said and we followed her to the Garden area. My phone rang and it was dad i.thought they wouldn't call me and I also forgot to call them at least that's the excuse I can make
" Hello " I heard Mom saying from the other side of the phone...
