Author's Note: Sorry dear readers. Its pretty boring right now but I felt that these type of scenes are necessary for the character progression (fuh!! I sound like a serious writer saying this ;) )Author's POVIn a bright and sunny corner of a restaurant, sat a woman staring out through the picturesque window. She sat there with her hands neatly folded on top of the table while propping up her head. Although she was looking out, she was not really seeing what's outside, she is rather lost in her own thoughts. To be honest, she is still reeling over the fact that Soo Hyuk had actually left her there after dropping THAT bomb on her..  "6 years? 6 years? what's that? It is nothing. People get married with an even more age gap. What is 6 years? I am serious Athenna. I love you and you KNOW I love you. Look I am not gonna rush you. Or push you. So you take your time in getting use to the idea of being my woman. MY WOMAN" he had said. In her head Athenna had played the conversation over and over again. Wondering where it has gone wrong. She had planned to be cool about it. To be breezy about the whole thing. To only address the pictures and video issues and nothing else. Soo Hyuk clearly has a different idea. He had clearly planned to raise and address the issue that is standing between the two of them. US....me and him. Soo Hyuk and Athenna. She had always known how he had felt. Even back when he was her student but had thought that its the usual teacher crush almost all students go through to a certain degree. Athenna thought that he had grown out of it. She can be a little blur at times but in this she cannot claim to be ignorant. Neither can she keep on pretending to be indifferent. If anything, from these two incidents Athenna knows in her heart of heart that she looks at him as a man and not as her dongseng. That shipped had sail a long time ago leaving behind only her stubborn determination to maintain the noona dongseng relationship they had. Athenna took several deep breaths before walking towards the counter to pay for her food. "Owh it has been paid for miss. Your boyfriend had settle it for you" the nice man at the counter said with a grin. Athenna smiled and started to walked out but before she can do so, 2 teenage girls stop right in front of her preventing her from moving on. She looked at them through her sunnies, her face a polite indifferent. The two girls seems to falter a little when Athenna kept staring at them with that slight smile. "Errr...excuse me miss. Are you Athenna Lee?" the slightly taller one said. "the one from SHINE" the girl with cute freckles chirped in. Both of them looked at her with an expectation. Athenna really looked at them and took a step to the right trying to see if they have anything behind their back. She had heard of crazy fan girls anecdotes and is frankly quite nervous. She just nodded her head, took off her sunnies and raised one eyebrow, expectantly. "Ermm...may we call you Unni?" the freckled one asked. "Depends. How can I help you today ladies?" Athenna answered her cautiously. "Unni can we asked you for your autograph? We really love you unni" the tall girls ask. Athenna pointed to herself perplexed. "Really? Weayo? I am not a celebrity ladies." Athhenna asked trying to confirm. "Yup!! We did a school project based on your life unnie. You and the other unnis are our role models. We like how you and your friends are bff and that you are really successful in each of your area." the tall one chirp happily. "Aww that's sweet. Can I see you school project than?"Athenna asked. Without delay the freckle one put down her bag pack and took out a think binded book. Athenna took the book and started to browse through the book. There are pictures of her from she was in school up to the the time when she won the award. There were also sections dedicated to Daniel, Kay and Jay. With a happy heart Athenna fished through her bag, took out a pen and flipped to the last page of the section dedicated to her. She signed it and put in som
