"The time limit for the project is a week and be sure to make it with your assigned partner.
"No changes, no slackers.
"Have a good day." Professor Kang left the classroom.
"I hate not being able to change partners."
"It's all good."
"You said…"
"------" The students discussed about the project, some already know each other and those who not presented themselves and exchanged numbers.
"You are Im Bon-Hwa, right?"
Im Bon-Hwa, who still wasn't done arranging his things in his bag, raised his head.
"Yes," he replied when he saw the beautiful and cold dark eyes of Lee Hyun-Jae.
"I'm Lee Hyun-Jae, your partner for the project.
"Are you free at eleven today? I have many things to do later and tomorrow I can't. You might also…"
"It's all right, I'm free."
"Perfect. If there is any problem call me or text me at XXXX…"
"It's XXXX…"
"Yes, that's correct. Let's see at the library, third floor."
"All right.
"… Do you need something else?" Im Bon-Hwa asked when he saw her staring at him.
"… No, see you later, then." Lee Hyun-Jae turned around.
"That was quick but weren't you going to eat with Eun-Jung Hubae?" Seo Joon, who already was standing, asked as he lowered his head to see Im Bon-Hwa.
"Yeah, but it can't be helped. Anyhow, what are you going to do with your partner?" Im Bon-Hwa asked without looking at him as he closed his bag.
"I…"
"Joon! We were assigned together, don't you think this is destiny?" A lively blond-haired Sang-Ook said.
'Yeah, I was destined to be tortured,' Seo Joon thought; Choi Sang-Ook was difficult to handle.
"------"
As Seo Joon tried to be serious and Choi Sang-Ook didn't let that happen. The gorgeous young woman in a hanbok hugging Im Bon-Hwa opened her dark eyes and raised her head from his shoulder, looking towards the front door with furrowed brows, ~Can she…?~
Lee Hyun-Jae felt a gaze on her when she was about to step out of the classroom, she turned her head around and looked over her shoulder, "…" She stared for a second at the beautiful face of the young woman in a hanbok before recovering her eyes and going out.
~So, she can really see me which means, she might also hear me…~ She released Im Bon-Hwa's neck and straightened her back; he was about to get up.

'He is already inside…' Without seeing him, Lee Hyun-Jae knew Im Bon-Hwa was already waiting for her in the library. Although, at first, she didn't feel the extra presence of her beautiful companion, after she opened her eyes, she was able to feel the presence of a soul. However, it was slight and peculiar; not like the other souls she had come across before…
"I apologize for the wait." Lee Hyun-Jae sat opposite him, ignoring completely the gorgeous young woman in a hanbok sitting beside him and with her head rested in one of his shoulders.
"No problem, I…"
"------"
The gorgeous young woman stared at Lee Hyun-Jae for a bit before placing her dark eyes on a pale blue palm-sized rectangular piece of paper, ~…~
Her head of wavy black hair left Im Bon-Hwa's shoulder and she stared more focused at the pale blue paper, ~Is she… perhaps… a witch?
~No, a witch should have attacked me the same instance she saw me… A shaman, then?~ She furrowed her brows, ~Let's leave it in exorcist…
~If it is like that…~ She turned her head towards a faraway window, ~It should be all right to leave for a moment…~
'Umm?' Lee Hyun-Jae turned around, 'Where did she…?' She frowned, 'She looked attached to him… she shouldn't be that far.
'I can't feel her.'
She turned her head to Im Bon-Hwa and asked seriously, "By the way, do your shoulders not feel heavy?"
