"Sometimes the most difficult paths,
Leads to the most beautiful destination."

"So, you are a freshman here?" the tall, slender blonde, who introduced herself as Rose a few minutes ago, asked.

I nodded in response.

"I was supposed to join another university but due to some personal problems I decided to continue in my hometown."

I didn't tell her the whole truth though.

It was actually an incident that forced my life to take a complete one eighty degree turn. In short it left me broken as a whole.

Not a few months ago I was a normal happy teenage girl having supportive parents loving friends caring older brother and most importantly a happy life.

It was my twentieth birthday.

Me, my parents and brother were driving to our farm house to celebrate there. My brother was sitting at the wheels excited at getting his new driving license, dad was sitting beside him with a proud face to see his son driving for the first time; while me and my mom were giggling over some funny incident at the back. It was suddenly that I felt my body jerk forward with a loud thud and a stinging pain in my back. Then it all went black.

When I woke, one week later, I met with something which I was absolutely not ready for.

My parents and my brother passed away from the car accident. Moreover I was left with no family. Since I had already turned eighteen, my relatives refused take care of me.

Instead I was offered a bare amount from the government to support myself and complete my education. As soon as I complete, I must look for a job in order to survive.

Wondering why I survived alone?

Because god is cruel. That's it.

I always had a dream of becoming a dancer from my childhood. I was good at dancing and I was lucky that my parents supported me to pursue a career in this.

I was supposed to go to the prestigious Seoul National University to get my major in dancing from there. But my fate had other plans.

Now here I was awkwardly sitting in the waiting room of a local university in Gwanju waiting for my name to be called with no idea where to go and where to start or how things would turn out.

I just hope god doesn't provide me with more reasons to kill myself.

"Hello, Earth to new girl" I saw someone waving her hand in front of my face.

"Ah..y...yes"

It was Rose.

"S..sorry I got a bit distracted. Oh, by the way I'm Park Luna. You can call me Luna." I gave her a slight smile.

She smiled back at me.

"Welcome here Luna. This place might not seem the best place to start from but trust me the teachers here are amazing. I'm sure they will help you have a very bright future." She took a quick glance at the file I was holding which had all the details of my courses and time table of this year before continuing.

"Since we are in the same class, I guess you know who our teacher is?"

I nodded my head listening closely.

"Jung Hoseok.

A very famous dancer and teacher; probably the best in this whole city. He might seem a bit cold and strict at first but his skills and techniques are the best. You can learn a lot from him and if you catch his eye then you surely are going to be blessed with a bright future. He is good man but make sure not to piss him off, the consequences might not be very nice."

She let out a hesitant laughter before continuing, "Oh...did I mention that he is very hot and handsome and nearly every girl and female teachers of this uni crushes over him?" She winked at me.

A hot teacher.

Oh.

I let out a breathe. "Understood."

"So when does the class start?"

"In about three minutes. Hurry, if you don't wanna be late. Professor Hoseok is not very well with tardy people. He says it is very important to be punctual and serious to learn dance."

From all the descriptions of this 'Professor Jung Hoseok', I thought this girl must be very fond of him. He must be nice man then.

But I was wrong.

Very wrong.

I entered the room to find a tall, thin man standing inside with his hands locked behind him. Decked in black suite and glasses looking directly at me with a stone-cold stare which sent shivers down my whole body.
