It was exam time for Jihoon and Soonae. Jihoon would be in the final year while Soonae would be in the second year. Jaeun was busy going and watching the construction site of their new hotel.
Jihoon and Soonae came to university and found their friends. All of them then went to their respective classes to go and the exam started. They were writing the paper and 45 min of the exam was already gone when Soonae saw her answers to the first 5 pages disappear. She freaked out. The invigilator came to her.
Invigilator: Mrs. Min what happened to you?
Soonae: Mrs. Jang I wrote answers and all that disappeared.
Invigilator: Mrs. Min what are you even saying? How can your answer disappear!
Soonae: I don't know ma'am I am not understanding a thing. *She raised her hand doing 🤷🏼♀️ and Mrs. Jang looked at her palm where there was some ink and that ink disappeared in front of her eyes*
Invigilator: What the hell! The ink from your palm just disappeared!! Why would you bring a pen with disappearing ink in the exam? *Yuki smirked and Rose saw her smirking*
**Flashback**
Yuki was entering when she saw Soonae and Jihoon walking in the hallway. She had an evil idea on her mind seeing them. She went and sat in the class. After some time Soonae came in and kept her pen pencil scales etc in the classroom and went out. Then Yuki thought yes this is the time and exchanged the pens in Soonae's kit with pens with invisible ink.
**Present time**
Rose saw Yuki smirking.
Rose: Oh my sweet lord! Why do I feel like this bitch has something to do with this. *She thought*
Soonae: Ma'am I have no idea where the invisible ink came from!! Wait- *She rubbed her palms against each other and gave the heat on the paper* oh no!
Invigilator: What are you doing?
Soonae: Ma'am some invisible inks show up when heat is applied but turns out this one is not one of those. The chemical in the ink reacts to the cellulose in the paper to form a colorless and odorless product. It's a slow reaction.
Invigilator: Now wha--
Rose: Ma'am! Soonae-ah takes here I have an extra pen. No need to waste time on this small issue. 5min left for 1 hour. Write fast.
Soonae: Omo Rosie-ah you saved my life.
Invigilator: Hmm calm down and write as much as you can.
**Time skip**
The exam was over and Soonae was able to complete it because 2 hours 5 min is a lot of time. She went out and saw Rose waiting for her outside the classroom. They went to their lockers and Jihoon and the football team waited for them in front of their lockers. Rose went and hugged Mark while Soonae went and hugged Jihoon
Jihoon: Babe you two almost took forever. What took you so long? Was the paper hard?
Rose: You won't believe what happened!
Mark: What happened?
Soonae: I arranged my exam kit yesterday night only. And when I was writing an exam my page turned and I saw my answers which I wrote disappeared!
Yuseok: Sister in law what are you saying? How can your answer disappear like that?
Rose: Someone replaced her pens with some different pens which had disappearing ink.
Jake: Childish!
Rose: Of course it is and that bitch was smirking in the exam as if she hit some goal or something. She is so embarrassing I swear to God.
Jihoon: Anyways let's go home! *They were going when they saw someone hide behind the lockers*
Soonae: Who's there? Come out! *No answer*
Rose: Come out now I said!! *Then she saw one timid nerdy-looking kinda cute girl come out and stood in front of them looking down*
Soonae: *Going close to her* Who are you? Why are you listening to our conversation hiding there?
???: I-I am Soyong, K-Kang Soyong. I d-didn't mean to listen to your conversation I promise *She raised her two fingers as a sign of promise*
Rose: Why were you hiding then? *She looked down*
Soonae: Anyway you're kinda cute. Which department are you from?
Soyong: I am from literature *She said in a low but sweet voice still looking down* thank you for calling me cute no one ever said that.
Rose: Hey did you have lunch? If not then join us! We are going. You can also call your friends.
Soyong: I-I don't have friends and I have to g-go later b-bye. *She turned back and left*
Jihoon and the team came closer to Soonae and Rose and Jihoon kept his hands around Soonae's shoulder.
Jihoon: She looked scared.
Soonae: She was cute tho aish anyways let's go. The second-year and final-year sunbaes have exams right. Let's eat up before that. *First-year and the third-year exam was over and now Second year and final year's exam was from 2 pm*
Rose: Yes let's go *They went to the cafeteria and took their table and sat down*
Mark: Captain when would we take trials for the new team? The tournament is in November. At least the new members need to be given time to train and adjust.
Jihoon: Um the admissions would be done by July mid and classes would be started after a week of this. I think we can take trials by August first week. Plans we would discuss later okay?
Team: Yes.
Mark: The next exam is after 3 days. What are you guys going to do these three days?
Jake: What kind of question is that? Of course study duh bro we are single, unlike you guys. Hyungs have fiances and Jihoon is married and you have Rose we don't. We're just gonna study.
Rose: Look at your frustration geez
Soonae: Mark-ssi how is your game development going?
Mark: I have kept it to a halt. By the time we graduate I am going to launch it. Now finger crossed *Soonae nodded*
As they were talking these Yuki came to them and stood close to Jihoon.
Yuki: Hey baby. *No replies* Baby are you mad at me? *She made an ugly pout*
Rose: Aish what do you want now? And stop doing that pout you look like a duck
Yuki: Youuu-
Rose: Aish do you have any self-respect? Here no one wants to talk to you wtf.
Yuki: You bit-- *She was going to say something but suddenly stopped* huh whatever *She stomped off from there*
Soonae: What the heck just happened! She left without arguing!?
Rose: I am surprised too.
Jihoon: Aish ignores her let's eat. They have an exam remember?
**Time skip**
They came home and saw Jaeun was not home.
Jihoon: Aish this kid is at the construction site I am sure. Let me just call him.
Soonae: Aish did he have lunch or not?
Housekeeper: No madam. Master Jaeun didn't come home for once yet.
Jihoon: Aish this kid is unbelievable. *He dialed his number* Yah!... Come home now!!... NO BUTS!... YAHH!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING EH!?... Yes, I give you half an hour to come home Istg!... Yes, come fast bye. *Cut the call*
They went and got fresh and Soonae went to the kitchen. That time calling bell rang.
Jihoon: He is here pretty early *He was surprised* Let me go and see *He opened the door and Soomi walked in pouting* Soomi? What a surprise
Soomi: I am hungry I wanna eat. *She sat down on the couch pouting*
Jihoon: Are you mad at someone Soomi-ah.
Soomi: Yes Oppa I am *She made an angry pout*
Soonae: Omo I was cooking for Jaeun-ah wait I'll cook for you too.
Soomi: Who?
Soonae: Before my marriage, you remember we met Aron?
Soomi: Yes? *Heartbeat raising*
Soonae: He is here. He's going to go to college. His parents are extending their business here. And he would go to our college.
Soomi: *Kept her bag and ran to Soonae and whispered* Unnie why didn't you tell me before!
Soonae: What do you mean?
Soomi: See I look like a duckling aish now what do I do!!
Soonae: Wha--
Soomi: Aish Imma go to your closet and fix my faceu *ran from there*
Soonae: Eh?!? This girl is weird today!
Jihoon: She is *smiling*
Soonae: What are you smiling at?
Jihoon: You don't understand ah? I think your sister likes my brother *Khikhikhi*
Soonae: *Flustered* What! But she likes- Waits it does make sense! She probably has a crush on Jaeun!
Jihoon: I hope this works! Jaeun starts sweating around women!
Soonae: What do you mean!? I and Rosie ain't a woman or what? He didn't sweat or whatever in front of us.
Jihoon: Aish! You and Rose are mother figures to him you get it?
Soonae: Ah yes I get it! *Soomi came down*
Soomi: Oppa unnie how do I look
Jihoon: You always look cute like your sister!
Soonae: You look, cute baby! Come now sit here. *Called the housekeeper* CHOOO
Cho: Yes madam. *She came*
Soonae: Please keep her bag.
Cho: Yes madam *She took Soomi's bag and went*
Soomi went and sat with Jihoon and Soonae went to cook.
Jihoon: How is your school going on?
Soomi: It's fine Oppa.. *She looked down*
Jihoon: Anything wrong? *Bell rings*
Soonae: He is here and food is almost ready. *Cho opened the door*

Jihoon: Go now freshen up. *Jaeun nodded and left*
Soomi: It didn't seem it was nice meeting me Mr. Lim!! *Jihoon and Soonae looked at her*
They have a caring family as well as enemies lurking in the dark who are going to make a move soon.
