ISLA
"If people would love with the intensity they used to hate, the world would be a better place…"In the middle of my search for Lav's whereabouts, I accidentally encountered Eun-woo again. But, this time he was with Minerva Kim together with Nana, Woo-hyun, and Myung-soo. How on earth did they all know each other?“Oh, Isla!” Nana called me as the rest looked at me. “Would you like to join us for lunch? We're still looking for a table.”I stared at them for a few seconds before coming up with a response. “I already have a table.”“Even better,” Eun-woo said coldly before walking ahead of us. Wait, what?! That’s not what I mean!I quickly run to continue looking for Lav instead of accompanying them to our table. When I finally found her near the service station, I snatched her away and luckily she was already done getting her lunch tray.“We need to talk!”“Hey, careful. The soup is hot,” she warned me and IEUN-WOO"You're my one in a million, you're more than a billion…"SIX YEARS AGO“Eun-woo,” she called me. “Promise me that one day, you will bring the most important person in your life to an ice skating rink.”I smirked after listening to what she said. “And why?”“It is believed that if you walk on ice in a dream, the dream could indicate taking too many risks and jeopardizing the person’s safety in some way,” she explained. “So, I want you to be there to protect whoever is walking on that ice.”“That's ridiculous, Chereen.” I scoffed. “And who believes that?”“I believe in it.” I glanced at her and she was just staring at me. At that time, I thought she was fooling around with what she was trying to tell me. Little did I know, she was being serious… which happened to be one of the signs of her leaving.“You believe in what I believe in too, right?”PRESENT TIMEHere I am now, stand
ISLA"Innocent until proven naughty and sexy…"It's in the middle of the night which is supposed to be cold and chilling, but I felt hot instead. It's like someone's lying next to me since the warm feeling seemed to come from body heat. So, I decided to open my eyes to check why I feel so hot and when I turned to the other side of my bed, Eun-woo was lying on his side, facing me while his upper body was naked.What the hell is he doing here on the same bed as me? Why is he even naked? And most importantly, why is my heart beating fast by just looking at him?My hand automatically moved, trying to slowly reach out and touch his bare shoulder. Then, his eyes opened, and glared at me. I quickly took away my hand and got up from the bed to escape from him after getting caught red-handed. But, as soon as I got up, he suddenly pulled me back and laid me on the bed before going over my body.“AHHHHH!!!” I screamed as I quickly got up from my bed
ISLAQuietness surrounded Ji-hoon and me while staying inside the office in SADI. It’s a good thing he didn’t even care about why I came here out of the blue because there’s no way I would tell him about my dream which included Eun-woo in it. He might find it weird and think of me as a pervert.When the time for the class was already finished, I put back the tablet inside my bag and cleaned up. Then, I took out my pastel-colored cardigan from the bag before wearing it since the wind is cold during the night.“Are you going straight home now?” I heard Ji-hoon ask me.“Yes. My mom asked if I could help her prepare the dinner for tonight,” I replied. “How about you?”“I’ll be home late. I still need to do something regarding the university’s financial reports submitted by the accounting officer for the last three months,” he explained.I put down my bag on the sofa as I tried to approach him on his desk. “Does that mean you won’t be able to join us for dinn
ISLAToday is Saturday and I’m glad SADI doesn’t force their students to wear the uniform. It’s like freedom day and our bodies could finally breathe comfortably.In the middle of yawning, I caught a glimpse of Su-bin waiting in front of The Rolling Pin bakery. I stopped in my tracks as I watched him standing there quietly.Then, I remembered my conversation last night with Eun-woo while we were hanging out inside my bedroom. I don’t even know why he stayed there even after I had already finished my dinner. But, he eventually was the one who helped me to dry my hair with a hair blower. “You know, after what happened earlier, I think I prefer it more if you date Moon Su-bin instead of Mizuki…”I went back to reality when someone called me and saw Lav after she suddenly clung to my right arm. “Good morning, my beautiful lady!”I smiled at her. “Good morning, Lav.”“How have you been lately? Gosh, I missed you so much. Our schedules have been clashing,
ISLAMy hands are shaking in the middle of looking at my phone. I'm late for the class since thirty minutes have passed after the embarrassment that Min-hyuk caused me.“Isn't this just marvelous?” I questioned as I glared at him.“I told you I didn't do it on purpose. I wasn't trying to peep at you,” he explained. “I was just there because Lav was called by the professor and she asked me to bring you what you needed.”“I think you should still apologize, Min-hyuk.” I heard Su-bin.“I’m sorry, Isla. Believe me, I wasn’t trying to be a pervert. I hope you won’t think of me like that just because I apologized to you,” Min-hyuk continued explaining.I let out a sigh as I turned my head down on top of the table. I wanted to go home…“OMG, OMG!” We got distracted after hearing someone screaming and running, only to see Lav doing it. She rushed towards us before catching her breath.“What happened? What did the profes
ISLA"I like you so much that it drives me crazy…"ONE MONTH LATERI woke up early in the morning after receiving continuous message notifications on my phone. As soon as I slightly got up from bed, I tried to check the messages and already felt exhausted after seeing almost fifty messages.Twenty messages from the multimedia arts course group chat and thirty messages from my group chat with Lav, Min-hyuk, and Su-bin which was created just for the project collaboration.I decided to open the group chat with Lav since I need to communicate with them after stupidly agreeing to become the model for their high-graded fashion project.[High Fashion GC]LAV: What time are you guys available for the runway rehearsals?MINHYUK: I can't. I have wrestling practice.LAV: Seriously?! Is that more important than our project?MINHYUK: Aren't you supposed to practice your dance with Woo-hyun too?LAV: But the project is way too important!Gosh.
ISLADay one of SADI's sports festival finally arrived and as for the opening event, the event moderators decided to do a couple's dance battle to begin the competition. It was announced that there will be three genres for the dance: hip-hop, interpretative, and pop. In each genre, there will be representative pairs from their teams. To begin with, the SADI Violet, which is the team I belong to, has Myung-soo and Nana for the hip-hop genre, Woo-hyun and Lav for the pop genre, and lastly Min-hyuk and me for the interpretative genre.For the SADI Gold, they have Jae-hwan and Yun-ha for the hip-hop, Mizuki and Minerva for the pop, and Hak-yeon and Na-bi for the interpretative one. I can't believe I'll be going against her all of a sudden."How are you feeling right now, girl?" I looked at Nana who approached me and gave me a bottle of water.I took it from her, placing it on my lap. "I feel so nervous right now. I can't seem to find Min-hyuk anywhere.""What woul
JI-HOON“Have you prepared for the shootout penalty kick competition later, Ji-hoon?” I glanced at Taek-woon who was wandering around inside the office while I’m in the middle of sending emails.“What is there to prepare anyways?” I asked him while looking at the monitor. “We were chosen for that category. Don’t you think we should do our best?” He asked.“Tell that to Eun-woo. He’s always busy on his own,” I commented.“How long have you guys been half brothers? You shouldn’t continue with these cold treatments. Believe in the saying blood is thicker than water,” he continued.I glanced at him again and saw him sitting on the sofa already, looking at me. I smirked at him before continuing my job.“What if the blood was mixed with water?” I questioned him based on what he just told me earlier.I heard him chuckle. “You’re so impossible, Ji-hoon.”It took me a few more minutes before finishing my task for the day as the SADI’s president. After that, Ta
