The Arrogant Grandson

Professor

Five boxes scattered on the ground, but neither of them been touch since they brought those up from Seul-ki's car, she stood in the middle of the living room, wandering her eyes inside the whole unit, black and white wall, two single couch across each other and one long grey couch, one shelf on the corner with a few books about photography, a wooden coffee table and a fish bowl but there's no fish, just water.

"Dull." Hayley mumbles as she plops herself down on the couch and releases a breathy sigh before she shifted her gaze back at the boxes. "Where am I going to put my stuff?" She asked to no one in particular with a frown on her face.

After their little talk, Jerry went to Rosie's unit meanwhile Juhyun and Seul-ki went back to their unit and she left alone, well, not literally alone because Dalgom is sleeping on the single couch.

Juhyun told her to come to their unit if she needs anything but that unnecessarily needed because she needs to fix her things first, It's not like she'll just let her belongings scattered because she don't want to deal with another angry Liam.

She waited for Liam to wake up but it's almost lunch time so instead of waking up the Satan, she rummages through the kitchen to cook something, although she's not that good in cooking, at least she know how to cook unlike Liam that can't even fry an egg without burning the entire kitchen.

Her brows knitted making it into one line when she open the cupboard and found nothing but cereals. The fridge is full of bottled water, left over food and a big chocolate drink in a box.

"What the hell? How could he possibly survived with just cereals?" Hayley exclaims shaking her head in disbelief. "He's really something huh." She uttered and exited the kitchen and decided to knock on the other door beside Liam's unit.

"What's up? Is she awake?" Juhyun asked her when the older girl opened the door for her and Hayle shook her head as an answer.

"Uhm I thought about cooking lunch but she didn't have any food stock."

Juhyun giggles and pulled Hayley inside "About that, I forgot to tell you that cooking hates Liam that's why there's no food stock on her kitchen, she usually eat with us or Rosie." She tell her and they both pad in the kitchen wherein Seul-ki already preparing the table for them. "I'll wake her up so we can eat, is Jerry still with Rosie?"

"I think so, he didn't bid his goodbye yet." Hayley answered already occupying the seat on the left. Juhyun nod at her and excuse herself to call the others.

"Have you already finished fixing your things?" Seul-ki asked as he placed the Lion King plate on the table beside Hayley's ceramic plate and Hayley laugh, forgets to answer Seul-ki's question, while staring on it. "That's Liam's." Hayley brought her head towards the older guy in surprise but Seul-ki just nod at her. "He's still a kid but you'll get used to it."

"Is he always like that?"

"Like what?"

"Like...that." Hayley said shifting her gaze back on the plate while picking on her nail.

Even though Hayley didn't said it directly, Seul-ki knows what she's talking about. "No, he's a nice kid Hayley, it's just that, there are some things that is hard to accept at first, especially if those things will change your life."

"Does he bite?" Hayley asked trying to dismissed the topic that's getting serious.

"Sometimes he did when he's so happy, but for now, I think your skin is safe." Seul-ki joked and they both stifle a laugh but it was cut off because of Liam, abruptly sitting at the end of the table. "Hey, take the seat beside Hayley! That's my spot kiddo." Seul-ki told him pushing Liam towards the other chair.

"Jeez! It's not that big of a deal if I sit here just for today Seul-ki!" Liam complains but still obeys Seul-ki and took the seat beside Hayley.

When the other three entered the kitchen with Rosie who's laughing with what Jerry told her on their way in, Juhyun settled herself beside her husband and Rosie sits across Seul-ki and Jerry across Hayley, giving his best friend a concern look and they started eating as soon as Seul-ki ended her prayers.

"Did you know that Jerry is also a professor in SNU?" Rosie beams at her best friend while removing the chicken skin and put it on Liam's plate. "And he's in Fashion department, weird because I usually saw a female teacher on that subject." Rosie continued. "But anyway, he'll start teaching tomorrow."

Hayley and Jerry exchange glances when they saw what Rosie had done and Jerry couldn't help himself but to huff an annoyed breath at that sight.

Juhyun scoops some rice and put it in Liam's plate while Seul-ki removed the veggies in his own curry before he gave it to Liam, swapping their bowl.

"How old are you Liam?" Jerry asked because he couldn't hold himself upon seeing how the three older people babysitting Liam too much that he looks like a f*****g three year old kid.

"He's 20." Juhyun answered when it seems Liam doesn't have any intention to answer that.

"He's 20 and yet, you guys treating him like a 3 years old that couldn't do anything on his own."

The three just look to each other and open their mouths but Liam beaten them just before they could utter a word.

"Don't you know how to mind your own f*****g business?" Liam spits but not even bothering to look at the guy as he keeps eating his food.

"I will never let Hayley do what they're doing right now."

"Then don't." Liam said nonchalantly.

"We're eating, can you guys put your attitude on bay? At least not in front of the food." Juhyun tells them with a glint of annoyance.

"Sorry about that." Hayley butted in and kick her best friend's shin slightly under the table.

They fell in silence after that and starts eating with a thick tension dancing in the air, but that silence didn't last longer when Liam starts to talk.

"Why are your stuff still on the floor?" He asked the woman beside him.

"I- I d-don't know where to put those."

"Are you that dumb?" Liam hisses at her, brushing the napkin on his mouth before he shifted his body towards Hayley.

"Liam." Juhyun calls him with a warning tone but Liam ignores her.

"It's not that hard to do, put all your s**t on the corner and-."

Liam's word cut off by Seul-ki. "No." The doe eyed guy snap his head to the older guy narrowing his forehead. "She's staying in your room."

"You've got to be kidding me!" Liam exclaims and stifled a fake laugh but he soon stopped when Seul-ki didn't talk again, still staring at Liam with full of seriousness on his face. "What the f**k?! Are you being serious now Seul-ki?!"

"That's what we've been told Liam and if ever you let Hayley sleep on the couch, we have no choice but to let Hayley use your room and you're the one who's sleeping on the couch."

"That's the most ridiculous and the funniest s**t I've ever heard." Liam said with gritted teeth before he shoot death glares at Hayley and stood up, without saying another word, he walked towards the door but turned around again. "What are you waiting for?!" Liam snap, looking directly to Hayley.

"N-now?" Hayley asked, terrified.

"No, do it tomorrow or on Friday, I don't care, just put your goddamn stuff in my room whenever you like!" Liam shouted and exited the kitchen, Hayley look back to Jerry, asking for a help and the guy was about to stand up to go with his best friend but Juhyun stopped him and Jerry snap his head to her.

"She'll be fine, he's harmless." Juhyun tells him, assuring the now scared Hayley.

Hayley scrunch up her nose before standing on her feet and followed the doe eyed guy, even if she still haven't finished her food.

-

"L-Liam?" Hayley called as soon as she entered inside Liam's unit and she didn't get a response.

of course, Liam wouldn't answer her.

She took a deep sigh before lifting up one of the boxes and when she's close to Liam's room, she heard a shuffling sound inside and there he is, the doe eyed guy, in front of his closet.

"Just put your s**t here and suit yourself." Liam said coldly after he finished making space for Hayley's stuff and grab his key and phone before he walks out of the room without uttering any word.

Hayley then release another sigh as she heard the door shut outside and roam her eyes inside Liam's room.

A king size bed, a messed study table with desktop, a bedside table with a minion lamp on the top, another smaller shelf with glass mirror and different kinds of camera inside and there's four picture frames on the top.

Hayley walked near the shelf to take a better look at the frames. The first frame is a candid shot, Liam and another girl that she didn't know who it was, a wide and radiant smile plastering on his lips while staring at the girl, the second one is Liam and Rosie at the park still with wide smiles while the blonde sitting at the swing and Liam standing behind her, the third frame was the four of them, Liam squeezing Rosie into a tight hug while Seul-ki kissing Juhyun's lips wearing their wedding outfit, the last frame is Liam, Rosie and Seul-ki with other people, wearing the same outfit while holding a big trophy and a wide smiles plastering on their faces.

"He's cute when he smiles." Hayley mumbles underneath her breath, as if she's scared that someone might hear her.

"Yeah, he is." Hayley snap her head at the door when she heard Juhyun's voice, leaning on the door's frame with her arms crossed and a small smile on her lips, Hayley looked down to hide her embarrassment, knowing that someone heard her complimenting the Satan. "They are dancers at SNU. We met the two kids when they signed for the dance club where Seul-ki is one of the member."

"It seems that they danced good." Hayley said and her gaze went back at the last frame.

Juhyun slowly uncrossed her arms and pad near to the shelf and picks up the frame. "They are." She started and her smile grew wider. "They were the best dancing troupe in Seoul and before Seul-ki graduated, they held the championship title for the biggest dance competition in Seoul."

"Wow." Hayley said with amusement. "Are they still dancing?"

"Seul-ki decided to teach in SNU as a dance teacher and Liam and Rosie are her students." Hayley just nod her head for the lack of response and Juhyun put back the frame from where she took it and turn her heels to face Hayley. "I know the situation will only get worse when he sees you tomorrow and only more precautions are needed so that no one will know about you and Liam."

"I know." Hayley whispered as if that words stuck on her throat, afraid on what's coming next.

-

A petite woman in oversize hoodie, sitting at the table near the floor up to ceiling glass window, with her phone in her hand and crease forehead.

Liam watches the girl from across, the way the girl's chest lightly rising and falling, the way how she tap her phone, the way how she'll pout her lips when it seems that the one she's texted isn't replying back, Liam admires the girls so much that he can feel the pang in his chest.

The girl noticed the gaze that she's receiving from the doe eyed guy and when she snap her head towards Liam, a wide smile starts spreading across the girl's lips that showed her gummy and wave at him.

Liam's heart skipped a beat upon seeing the smile on his girlfriend's lips, the sight of a girl that he's been loving since God knows for how long is making his heart do a summersault but the guiltiness is taunting her, the wedding, Hayley, his Grandma, his mom, Jerry and his friends, all of them starts flashing in his mind but nonetheless, despite of the pain that's poking his heart, he waved back at Sharon with wide smile.

He hopped off of his bike and starts walking towards the entrance of the coffee shop and Sharon stood up, greeting Liam with a kiss on his lips and threw her arms on Liam's nape.

"I missed you!" Sharon beams at him and snuggles on Liam's neck.

"I missed you too babe." Liam said, tightening the hugs and kissed the top of Sharon's head. He guide the girl back on her table without breaking the hug. "Sorry if I just showed up today, it's just that, there's some things I have to take care off." Liam tells her after they both departed from the hug.

"It's fine, I've also been busy these past few days because technically, one of my professor keeps giving me task." Sharon utter with a shrugs.

"Don't overwork yourself babe, you know that's not good for you."

"Don't worry, I have someone with me ." Sharon tells him and a small smile registered on her face but she quickly removed it when she saw Liam stared at her with unreadable expression on his eyes.

I know. Liam said in his thought. The excruciating pain stab Liam's heart but he did still manage himself to put a small smile on his lips.

"Who?"

"Son Carlo, my block mate." Sharon deadpans, not aware on how Liam frowned upon hearing that name.

"Which professor are you talking about?"

Sharon took his hand and she locked it with him. "Don't worry about that, I know she'll be replaced by a new professor by tomorrow and I hope that, that new professor will be nice to me." Sharon said while making circles on his palm that sends shiver down to his spine. "I really missed you, you know that?" Sharon look up to meet his eyes and Liam twitches his lips because of the tingling feeling inside his stomach.

He maybe mad at Sharon, but not enough to make him feel so happy just because of her sweet word, a masochist? Maybe he is.

"Me too." Liam said before cupping Sharon's face and steal a quick peck on her lips before standing up on his feet. "Let me buy you a drink and we'll get going to watch movie." He utter and rose from her seat and starts walking.

"Why don't we just go to your condo and watch Netflix instead?" Liam froze on his track when he heard that and bit his cheeks inside. "I just want a cuddles." Sharon added with a pout.

Liam turn his heels to face Sharon and cups the girl's face one more time. "As much as I want that, we can't, because Rosie and Seul-ki are in my unit." He lied.

Because Hayley is there and Liam isn't yet ready for a 'introducing my fianceé to my girlfriend' scene.

"They have their own unit, why do they need to stay in yours?" Sharon asked him with a furrowed forehead.

"Rosie's room is in maintenance and Juhyun is cleaning theirs, so yeah." Liam tells her with a shrug and kissed her lips again before he proceed to the counter.

After a minute, he went back to Sharon and noticed his girlfriend using her phone again and when Sharon saw him, she immediately shove her phone back inside her bag and the nervousness was so obvious on her at the possibility of getting caught by Liam.

But the doe eyed guy ignore that. "Here." Liam hand her the coffee frappe and Sharon gladly took it and sips immediately on it. "Let's go?" Liam offered his hand for Sharon to hold and the older girl reach for it and he pick up Sharon's bag, slinging the strap on his shoulder and they both make their way out of the coffee shop.

Their spent their whole afternoon in watching different movies, eating and playing arcades. Liam forgot his problems at home, he completely forgets all her problems when he's with Sharon, and he's thankful that Sharon hasn't used her phone again on their entire date.

Or so she thought.

Because on their last movie, Sharon's phone rings and she excuses herself to answer it, and he felt again the familiar pang on his chest but he chose not to say a word about it and just nod at his girlfriend.

He followed Sharon with his gaze as she exited. "At least we both have a secret." Liam mumbles and shifted his gaze back at the big screen and the movie is near to its end.

I am inevitable. The big man with a wrinkled skin utter while his fingers sticking together and was about to flick.

"Everything is inevitable Thanos." Liam said before popping a piece of popcorn in his mouth and staring at the big screen blankly. "The pain, the shits that happens in your life, the trials and the cheating, everything is inevitable." He added. His focus wasn't on the movie at all until the end of it, he wondered what will happen next, what will Sharon's reaction when she finds out that his boyriend is getting married but not with her, is Rosie's right when she told Liam that Sharon would probably feel relief knowing that she's free to flirt with the Carlo?

A light tap on her shoulder pulled him out on his own trance. "I need to go, there's an emergency at home."

As always. Liam thought.

"Oh okay, let's go and let me drive you-." Liam's word cut off when he saw how Sharon bit her lower lip anxiously and he knew that Carlo is waiting for her outside the mall. "Is your dad already outside?" He asked,instead, and Sharon nods at her hesitantly. "It's ok, you can go and call me when you're home."

"T-thanks." Sharon said and bend her body to kiss Lisa that last for one minute, thanks God, people inside the cinema already left and they're the only ones left inside as the mall was about to close too. "I love you." Sharon muttered between their kisses and gave Liam a deep kiss before she stand up straight. "I'll call you when I get home." She added and starts walking, before she could finally walk towards the exit, Sharon wave at him for the last time, wearing her gummy smile that Liam really loves.

When Sharon vanished from his sight, a tear fell from his left eyes that he quickly wiped away but soon followed by another tears and Liam keeps wiping them but failed to make it stop from cascading as sobs escape on his mouth this time. He stood up and starts walking out of the cinema, up until the parking lot, Liam is crying.

People that he's passing by on his way to the parking lot, are looking at him, some of them look at him sympathetically but some of 'em look at him as if he's gone crazy, but he don't give a flying f**k about them as he walked straight on hos bike.

Liam's weary heart and exhausted mine grew deeper as she parked his bike, thinking that his another problem, probably already asleep in his room, on his own bed.

Liam releases a lungful sigh while brushing his face with his palm, battling with himself if he should enter on his own unit and sleep with Hayley in one bed or ask Rosie to sleep on her room, but at the end, he pressed the four zeros and twisted the knob.

A dim light illuminate inside the whole living room coming from a dim light and he saw a woman sleeping on the couch with a book on her hands.

Hayley is indeed a goddess, with a simple black hoodie paired with a sweat pants and a spec sitting on the bridge of her nose, but unfortunately, even though Hayley is a goddess, his heart still belongs to Sharon and there's no way he would fall in love with the Crimson haired girl with a heart-shaped lips.

Liam took another glance on her before he walks straight to his room and leave the door open in case Hayley woke up and decided to continue her sleep on his bed, slhe change his clothes into a comfortable PJs and crawled into bed to rest his mind from exhaustion, leaving a two pillows on the center as a division.

-

The sounds of the door shut closed makes his eyes open and he whipped his head at the clock that sitting on the bedside table, it says 6:03 AM and he creased her eyebrows.

"Rosie?" He called as he climbed off of the bed and walked towards the door when someone didn't answer him and another shut of the door can be heard from the main door. "Yah! Rosie Park! It's still early to invade my unit!" He shouted but a barking dog answered him instead of a human chipmunk. "Who- what the- who are you?!" Liam asked in shocked when the dog growl at him and he quickly shut the door closed just before Dalgom could run to him. "What the hell?! Whose dog is that?" He exclaims and then, as if it's the realization hit him when he saw the unfamiliar hoodie hanging on the wall beside his leather jacket.

Right, how could she forgot that it might be Hayley not Rosie.

With a slump shoulder, Liam went to his bathroom to get ready, it's Monday, the most hated day of the week, so he need to get ready for another hell week.

After Liam get dressed, he went to his kitchen to eat his daily cereals but he noticed a food sitting at the countertop with a cover on top.

A fried egg, bacon and fried rice. "I really love Juhyun!" Liam exclaims and starts digging on his food.

"Shutterbug hurry up! We're getting late!" Rosie shouted outside his unit and Liam quickly shove the food inside his mouth before tossing the plate at the sink and drink his chocolate milk drink and ran to the door where Rosie is waiting for him. "Urgh I hate Mondays!" Rosie blurted out as Liam clung to her arm and they starts walking towards the elevator.

"Everyone hates Mondays, but I was more annoyed at SNU because they made our first class at 7 f*****g AM."

Rosie giggles. "Well, there's no argument on that but today is Jerry's first day of teaching at SNU that's why I'm excited. "

"And so? As if I care." Liam scoffed and roll his eyes but went wide after he remembers what Sharon told him yesterday. "Oh God! f**k no!"

Rosie snap her head at Liam, looking at her best friend ludicrously for the sudden outburst. "What's up?"

"Jerry is Sharon's new professor!"

"And so?" Rosie asks, as if it's not a big deal. "It's not like he knows Sharon."

"He is!"

"f**k!"

"Oh my God! I didn't see it coming! How the hell on Earth I forgot about that!" Liam blurted out and starts pacing back and forth inside the narrow rectangular box where they were.

"How did he know Sharon?"

"I don't know, remember my flight on Thailand? That's when I met Jerry and he starts talking to me about Sharon" Liam stop from pacing when the elevator door opened and he ran to his bike quickly. "I need to talk to Jerry before he would do anything to Sharon." ShHe utter while shoving his head inside his black helmet, revolving the accelerator and starts driving in speed, leaving a dumbfounded Rosie.

-

When Liam arrived at SNU, he quickly ran to where the faculty is and saw Jerry talking with some of their professor and Juhyun, he stopped on her tracks when he saw a familiar girl with crimson hair.

"What the hell is she doing here?" Liam asked on himself. "Oh my God no! Please! No, tell me it's not real! This ain't real!" He utter while shaking his head furiously.

"Liam!" He snapped his head on his side when he heard Seul-ki. "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in your room because.." Seul-ki take a peek on his watch before he look back at the doe eyed guy. "Your class is about to start."

"Why didn't you tell me that she's going to teach here?" Liam asked, looking at him in horror.

Seul-ki swallowed hard, as if there's a lump stuck on his throat and couldn't fathom his gaze at the doe eyed guy, surprised that Liam found it out earlier than he thought. "I'm sorry Liam, but I don't think it's a good idea for you to find it out from me."

"Are you f*****g kidding me?! What if someone in this University found out about us?! What if Sharon saw her?!"

"And so what? She's a professor, of course Sharon would see her but not as your fianceé but as a teacher, so stop freaking out!" Seul-ki tells him, half yelled. "Go to your f*****g class Liam, I'm still your professor inside this goddamn University so you should obey me!" Seul-ki orders, first because he doesn't want to argue with Liam early at this morning, second, Hayley might hear them or the other professors would noticed them and starts bombarding him with questions why are they arguing, and that's the last thing he wanted to happen.

Liam looks at Seul-ki in disbelief and shook his head. "I can't believe in you Seul-ki, you become secretive to me since that wedding announced and it's look like you're on her side." He said with a glint of hurt passed by on heris eyes that makes Seul-ki repent on how he treats Liam, but before Seul-ki could utter another word, Liam already ran away from him.

"I'm sorry." A deep husky voice tells him from his back, and when Seul-ki turn his heels, he saw Hayley with her head lowered and clutching the book she's carrying against her chest. "I should've told him last night but I fell asleep as I wait for him." She added.

"It's ok, I can handle him, all you need to worry about is how you guys would hide your relationship,(as if they're in a relationship) you know that the teacher-student relationship is forbidden, so you need to be more careful." Seul-ki tells her and rest his hand on Hayley's shoulder to squeeze it to assure her. "If you need to avoid each other, do it as much as possible not unless you're going to be his professor in one subject." Hayley didn't utter any word but her shoulder sagged down and Seul-ki gasped with wide eyes. "Of f**k! That's- oh my God- don't tell me?"

Hayley nod her head and a lungful sigh escape on her mouth and Jerry who's standing on her side laugh triumphantly. "This is going to be so interesting."

"f**k you." Hayley scoffed as she shoot dagger look at her best friend with deep scowled on her face.

"Oh no Hayley, I can't because I have Rosie now." Jerry tells her and burst out laughing.

"I hate you!" Hayley exclaims as she started walking towards her first class, with Liam and Rosie, as their professor in literature.
