Of Love And Life

Turning A New Page.

"Lin.. you can't escape now, you should know that your booking a flight back here after giving away a million dollar to a passerby. And rejecting to perform at the opening performance of the commonwealth games. Grandpa said he wanted you here by this weekend." Jung Chengmin, elder brother of Wu Heilin was trying to persuade her to come home as told by the elders.

"En.. I'll try " Lin replied casually with her normal blank face. Just like her first time entering the Jung mansion, she was never too excited. And the brim situation which caused her to flee from the mansion added the huge hindrance of returning there.

She was silently packing her luggages for her return, making her reminisce about her first arrival in the Jung mansion.

* Four years earlier

After a long day of tiresome classes, students union meeting and a tough basketball practice, Jung Young went home really worked up and bored. He was greeted by the maids as he entered which he didn't even bother to reply, he speed walked towards his room before he was stopped by his grandma to ask about his day. However just as he was about to enter the elevator to go to the upper floor, their butler Mr. Han stopped him " Young master, your uncle told me to remind you not to forget to pick up his daughter Heilin by 12:30 am "

" Seriously ! Why midnight ..? ugh " he replied completely annoyed

" Young master, your uncle also told me to remind you the really good thing you will get in return " Mr. Han continued with a plastered smile on his face. The price wasn't less at all, his uncle was willing to pay for dinner for the whole students union in celebration of their recent achievements. Young couldn't believe his uncle would go that far, but he also knew how his uncle, after a long time seem to be so genuinely happy preparing for his daughters arrival and stay at the mansion.

" Ugh.. of course, anything else" Young replied.

" No.. oh that Heilin if you've forgotten used to be Young master's sweetheart back then " he said with such a teasing smile that Young was about to flush out in embarrassment. He remembered how he would enter Heilin's room watching her practice her music while he would lazily sleep at her bed. Of him showing her his favourite comics and dashing towards her to show his gold medals which he received from athletic competitions. "Ok I get it " he replied then quickly entered the elevator before Mr. Han was able to notice his face go red.

Later that night to be exact, midnight; he was waiting for Heilin at the airport along with his younger sister Jung Areum who insisted to come along. He was pondering on how Heilin must've looked like now, whether she has changed with the passing time. He had no clue since after his uncle had a divorce with his aunt , his aunt took Heilin back to China to live with her and they have never contacted each other again since then. He couldn't even imagine the surprise that was awaiting him that night.

" Are you a celebrity?"

Areum, Young's younger sister and Heilin's cousin was holding Heilin's banner with her name on it and a ' Welcome ' sign. Young was deep in thoughts when they were suddenly approached by two men at their early 30's

" Excuse me, are you guys Heilin's fans as well, is she arriving here, have you see her, Oh my gawd I'm so lucky" the shorter one half screamed.

" Uh.. no..we are waiting for our cousin " Areum sheepishly replied.

"Aw.. sad!! the name is similar even the last name. Sorry then, excuse us" they then left the two dumb founded cousins.

"Strange" Areum awkwardly looked down at their banner. " Oppa, what if Heilin unnie .. is a kind of a celebrity" she muttered at him while scanning the airport searching for Heilin. After a few seconds, an exquisite beauty, so ethereal and surreal was heading towards them. At first they thought she was another fan of the unknown idol who had the same name as her cousin. However they then thought she seem to more like the idol rather than the fan judging from her appearance.

They were closely observing her from head to toe, her jet black short hair; curly at the tip, slim small face with defined cheekbone, pointy nose, plumpy dark red lips with crevices on her lower lips, slender neck with clearly visible collarbone, slender legs, tall figure, height around 5'8" and extremely fair skin. It was when Young noticed her eyes that he was sure the beauty in front of them was indeed Heilin.

There was only two persons he knew who have such a long eyelashes, prominent double eyelids with a dreamy silvery grey colour making her such a rare beauty. The one person was Wu Heilin and the other her mother and Young's aunt.

Young and Areum had never seen anyone as beautiful as her, one look at her and she put all the beauties that they knew to shame, their beauty paled so much in comparison to her.

They now understood how wars were waged for beauties.

A minute had already passed and they reason why they were still standing face to face without uttering a word was, one; the two siblings were still shocked and surprised by the whole scenarios, two; Heilin was afraid they were her friends instead of her cousins. Breaking the awkward moment, Guiren her personal assistant, asked " Excuse me are you perhaps Heilin's cousins? " from behind her.

"Yes we are" Young replied " Finally, welcome Heilin" he greeted her with a tense smile, worried that Heilin would turn out to be a sophisticated lady. In a split second Heilin showered them such a warm smile from a serious poker face, which seem to brighten the whole universe, " Young..! your... really Young." she exclaimed quietly in disbelief then gave her a quick hug, " Sure" Young replied feeling his heartbeat rise at the proximity.

" Hello Unnie, I'm Areum" Areum introduced herself to Heilin almost squealing with excitement, she had already fell hard with huge adoration for her cousin and had already devote herself as a total fan.

" Awe.. your.. that little Ari.. You've grown so much " Heilin replied ruffling her hair with fondness written all over her face. And that made Areum strangely feel butterflies inside her tummy.

The drive back home was filled with Areum blabbering non stop and endless questions which were all answered by Guiren, Young adding some remarks here and there and Heilin quietly listening while taking in the night scene.

Whose girlfriend are you ?

It has been only around three days and Heilin was already prompt in setting up a studio with Guiren and some architects, electricians, technicians and all.

However she was also determined in making Guiren continue his studies in Korea.

" You sure you want me to join college now. We just set up the studio and it will be hectic as hell for the first few days" Guiren asked again for fifth time that day as he rode on the back of Heilin's Suzuki bike as she drive it herself.

She didn't even bother to reply anymore and sped up to reach Korea University where Guiren will be joining the Business Management course. It was somehow the same college that Heilin's cousins Jung Young and Jung Iseul attended and further more Young had taken the same course as Guiren took.

As they entered the campus all eyes were fixed on her as if she was the moon in the vast night sky. Most of them took her to be a student and wondered ho w they haven't noticed such a campus beauty, and some of them thought they were a new student joining in.

They headed straight to the administration block. Even the administrators working there failed to notice that the one sitting at their office filling up Guiren's application form has already acquired a master degree with proficiency in general music, the youngest graduate, most widely known child prodigy and international musician, producer and score composer. And was also invited to work as a guest professor in their University.

One of Young's friends, who was a complete flirt, having a big appreciation for beauties was caught up with curiosity to know more about the beauty out of nowhere. He knew all the beauties and masters of the campus and knew Heilin wasn't in the hot list of the campus. He knew all the relationships of the masters and their own partners and was taken back knowing she was none of them, making him ask the ultimate question, " Excuse me I'm sorry but, can you please tell me whose girlfriend are you ?"

They halted their actions for a second taking a quick glance at him, then continued their writing completely ignoring him. He, however instead of feeling bad was again starstrucked on clearly seeing Heilin's outstanding pretty face with her exotic eyes. He stood rooted even after they left after submitting their application.

Lunch came by, and by that time Heilin's photo in the campus had gone viral in the campus website. A picture of her riding her bike wearing grey plated trouser ( high waisted) , black classy top (sleeveless and button up with metallic buttons) ,white adidas trainer, black shades, silver bracelet and a ear stud making her look so cool yet pretty and wild.

Another picture of her without her shades focussing her flawless face and captivating silvery eyes.

And the last one was her casually reading the campus portfolio. The news highlighted,

" New student! New campus belle !!" and the comments had already crossed thousands.

Young's friend from before talk animatedly about his previous encounter with the unknown beauty, telling his friends how flawless and ethereal she looked. His friends gave him the look that says ' I don't believe you anymore'

" Wait you don't believe me, didn't you check the website, see it for yourself" he said and show them his phone already logged in the website displaying Heilin's pictures.

They immediately howled and drooled at her photo, " Why didn't you say it earlier",

"Bro are you keeping the beauties for yourself now " they exclaimed and slightly smacked at his head. Young decided to sneak a peek at the girl which made his friends go crazy, as soon as he saw it he accidentally choked out all the water he drank and cough so hard.

" Young !! " they all exclaimed in unison, he apologized right away and have another detail look at the photo.

Young was really shocked to see Heilin's picture out of the blue at the campus website, he really wished the highlights were true already thinking of the possibility. She was 20 and there's a chance that she enrolled in a university and the same as his since the family elders might recommend it to her.
