Chapter 23: A new angle

Ting Ting..

Eun Hye's phone showed a notification. There was a message in her school's alumni group. It read -

Dear Alumni,

The school is organizing an "Upskilling Workshop" for the students. The workshop will be held in the school premises. Starting tomorrow, it is planned to conclude in two days. The school management and teaching staff cordially welcome you all to participate and contribute in the workshop. Our students would greatly benefit from your experiences.

Eun Hye loved the timing of it. Fortunately, she is in Mokpo right now and there's no other reason why she wouldn't go...

After so many years, revisiting her school, recollecting the memories of her school days, meeting the teachers, other alumni... all of this suddenly made her glad and refreshed. She picked up her bag which was resting beside her and stood up to return to reality..

The city roads of Mokpo were bustling with people and vehicles. She hailed a cab.

"Where do you want to go madam?" the cab driver asked.

"Whichever hotel is nearby."

She wasn't going to go to her dad's. Maybe she would go after two days of the workshop when she rejuvenates her calm.


At School

Eun Hye reached her school early. She visited her teachers first of all...

Her favorite teacher was thrilled to see her favorite student, "My Goodness! Look who's here.. our Eun Hye. How are you my child?"

"I have gotten much better after seeing you madam. How's your health?"

"Look at me.. I am fit as a fiddle. How is your clinic doing?"

"Very well madam."

"I see.. my top-student has become even busier now.. what about a boyfriend.. are you still the ascetic kind?"

"Well, I have a bad luck in that matter, teacher!" she giggled.

"Do you want me to introduce you to my nephew?" the old woman asked.

"Is he handsome madam?" she joked.

"Of course. What do you think?"

"Why not ma'am, I am open to all willing candidates right now!" she laughed.

They couldn't keep track of time but hours went by in their chit-chats. They only went to their seats when the events began.

"Greetings to all the revered teachers and honorable principal. I, the president of Alumni Group, welcome you all to this Alumni meet on the sidelines of the Upskilling Workshop."

It was Hyun-ki. The most intelligent guy of the school. He wasn't that good-looking, but still, he was the crush of many girls during school days. He was an year senior to Eun Hye. But, they both were well acquainted back then. After school days, maybe it was the first time she was seeing him.
