"And this is all you can come up with?"

Bomin looked at the presentation files as he glanced up at Mina, as she was standing at the podium of the meeting hall. All the executives and managers were present to over the yearly meeting that was required for their hotels. Mina was given the job to create a proposal for an event that the hotel would need to work with.

All the managers glanced at each other uncomfortably as they already approved of Mina's proposal for being fantastic. Bomin decided to play devil's advocate as he shook his head in disapproval as Mina held in her anger as he stood up to discuss loudly, "You think that the marketing division could come up with something more efficient. This event is an important time and place for us to work with other investors in order to help our hotel grow. And this is all you came up with? I am so disappointed in your research."

Mina held onto her presentation folders as she pressed in the surging rage to yell inside of her. She spent all week working on the proposal in order to perfect it. And seeing Bomin disclose it as imperfect and unprofessional made her steam off. Other executives glanced around carefully as they ultimately voted the event proposal as being insignificant to use.

She was forced to re-design everything for her marketing plans as Bomin dismissed everyone from the meeting but her. After everyone left, she stormed over to Bomin and grabbed his collar angrily as she yelled, "What the hell was that for?! You knew that all the managers accepted it."

"So? You think the executives will care when I am the upper hand on the decision making."

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

Bomin rolled his eyes and pushed her hands off of his collar as he fixed his suit. He angrily glared back at her as the meeting hall got instantly hateful between the two. He adjusted his tie as he then spoke up with the most annoying smirk, "You think it have been an easy route? No, I won't let you get through any of this easily."

Mina scoffed to herself as she rested her hands at her hips to angrily argue back, "You're being totally unreasonable."

Bomin glanced at her position before he collected his things to reply back with a smug laughter, "Fix your attitude first. Good luck adjusting to it. You realize that our families are waiting for us to get married and for you to quit. You can quit now to make things a lot easier. The deal with the poor man can also be arranged to stop since I have no power to change my father's mind."

She crossed her arms soon after he walked away from his position and was about to leave the hall. But she stopped him from leaving as she turned her head to look over at him and exclaimed, "No, you're doing this because you have no power to fight back against your parents' will. You act all coy and strong-willed to be the best but you have the least power out of everyone here because your pride gets in the way. I will never give into what our families want, and I will be sure to make sure that the proposal goes through."

Hyunsuk left his classroom as he managed to ace his exam even if he kind of failed it. Jinyoung dragged him away from campus and towards a new sandwich place that he was dying to try. Since Hyunsuk needed to pay Jinyoung back anyways, he stood in line to order some sandwiches. As soon as he was about to order, someone intervened his turn by standing next to him and brightly smiling pitching in, "Also can you add another ham and cheese explosion sandwich as well?"

Hyunsuk glanced over to see who it was before his disappointment rose to the maximum. It was Lia as she looked up to smile at him as she then walked away to sit in the table where Jinyoung reserved for them. He had no choice but to buy her sandwich as he then took their orders and walked over to the table.

Jinyoung had an uncomfortable expression painted on his face, as he watched Hyunsuk arrive towards the table as he placed the tray onto the table. Lia thanked him happily as she then started to unfold the paper covering the sandwich. Hyunsuk lost his appetite seeing Lia around him as Jinyoung was even more awkward since he hasn't seen them together in a long time.

He mustered the courage to ask Lia instead since Hyunsuk was not facing her at all, "How did you know we were here?"

Lia munched on her sandwich as she replied back with a smile, "I wanted to meet Hyunsuk, and I was on my way towards the campus. I saw you guys from afar but you didn't seem to hear me since the cars were extra loud today."

Hyunsuk rolled his eyes as Jinyoung laughed under his breathe to help loosen the tension in the atmosphere. Lia glanced over at Hyunsuk as she asked him with a smile, "Why aren't you eating?"

Out of the blue, Hyunsuk stood up as he grabbed his sandwich before glaring at Lia with an angered expression. Jinyoung was quite surprised since he never really saw Hyunsuk get upset at someone as Hyunsuk replied back, "Leave me alone. I told you before, and this is my last warning."

He stormed out of the shop as he did not give a second glance to his best friend, who was left alone to deal with the mess that Lia was whining about. He headed mindlessly with the sandwich clutched in his hand as he soon arrived onto campus once more. He sat down on the one of the benches as he started to unwrap the soggy sandwich in his hand, and he quietly ate it without much thought.

"Yoon Hyunsuk."

He froze in his tracks as he was chewing midway on his sandwich as he slowly looked up to find Mina peering down at him as she had her face hidden under a hat. He blinked for a few seconds before he managed to swallow down the bread and ham inside his mouth as he nodded quietly to let her know that he was listening.

"Let's run away together."
