Chapter 57 - 57: You're Such A Bully

After Kim Eunji settled all of the requirements, she became an official enrollee of Imperial University.

"So, you have to move in a week before the class officially begins." Miss Tang announced.

"Um, can I move a day before instead?" Kim Eunji tentatively asked.

She haven't told Nathan about this. She' afraid Nathan might not agree to it.

"May I know the reason why?" Miss Tang said.

"I'm sorry I can't disclose it. It's a personal reason." Kim Eunji reasoned. There's no way she would say she's dating a big shot like Nathan.

"Okay. I understand and respect your privacy." Miss Tang finally said.

"So, you'll be here by the ninth day of September." Miss Tang repeated.

"Yes. Exactly nine days from now."

After everything was settled, Kim Eunji then left the registrar and walked towards the exit of the building. She looked at the time on her phone and she sighed when it was already three in the afternoon.

She thought of postponing her plan to visit Kelly by tomorrow instead.

She was walking by the exit with her eyes on her phone when she happened to almost bumped into someone. Good thing she was fast and avoided the body collision.

But the folder which had the results and her schedule for the upcoming semester did not as it dropped on the floor.

The man was about to help her but Kim Eunji was fast as she picked it up quickly. Before the man could even talk to her, she hurriedly left and ignored his presence.

"Hey Miss! I'm sorry okay?!" The man shouted as he looked at Kim Eunji's leaving back. He then looked at the group of men wearing the same jersey as him looking at his direction.

However, instead of being discouraged, the man plastered a meaningful smile in his handsome face. Though she had a cold attitude, it's tolerable because she's very beautiful even with her face mask on. Too bad he was not able to get a chance to look at her in the eye.

As Kim Eunji reached the door, she saw Marie coming from another direction with a bruised lips.

Kim Eunji looked at her but did not say anything. It's not because she didn't care but because she knew Marie wouldn't like it if she acted being nosy.

"Let's go." Kim Eunji commanded and walked towards the direction of their car.

The Bentley car had already caught everyone's attention and Kim Eunji inwardly sighed because of it.

They should have parked it somewhere discreet.

Now the students present in the area would thought that she was related to Marie's boss though only a few people in Imperial University knew who her scholarship sponsor.

However, their thoughts shifted when Kim Eunji sat on the passenger seat of the car instead at the back.

The two peacefully drove home. It took them a while before they arrived because of the traffic which occurred because of a car accident.

"Welcome back Mistress!" Majordomo Lucy greeted as she saw Kim Eunji alighted from the car.

"Aunt Lucy, can I have an early dinner tonight please? I'm starving." Kim Eunji expressed.

"Oh, I can prepare a bowl of noodles for you to eat Mistress, if you want to." Majordomo Lucy suggested.

"Thank you Aunt Lucy. That'll do." Kim Eunji replied and then immediately left to her room.

She immediately walked to the washroom and changed with a clean sanitary pad. She also changed into a more comfortable clothes. An oversized black t-shirt with a word 'MOOD' printed on it.

She then looked at her reflection in the mirror. She frowned when she saw the bandage underneath her fringe. How long would she still has to wear this dressing?

She then removed the dressing and looked at the stitches on her skin. The area surrounding the wound was no longer red but still ached when touched.

She thought that the surgeon had an excellent skill in stitching her surgery wound.

Good thing they didn't shave her hair. That would be embarrassing. The wound was located right below her hair line which could be covered by her fringe.

She then opened the medicine cabinet and changed her dressing.

Kim Eunji walked out of the bathroom and went to the bed. She then grabbed her laptop which was resting on top of the bedside table. She also grabbed her camera and opened it.

She then opened a photo editing software and started to upload the photos from her camera to her laptop.

She just wanted to check on what she had been up to for the past few months. This was her personal camera, not the one she would use on photoshoots.

She was hoping that by doing so, her memories would come back.

However, to her dismay, nothing happened.

But at least she now had a general idea of what she had been up to for the last six months.

Kim Eunji suddenly felt bored. She then looked out by the window and suddenly an idea crossed on her mind.

She then looked for a sweat pants and wear it. She slightly tucked in the hem of the her oversized shirt in front and then tied her hair in a messy bun.

She then took her camera and hanged it on her neck and walked out of the room.

The servants bowed down their heads as their greeting when they saw Kim Eunji on the hallway.

Kim Eunji decided to make a house tour since she had not done it in day one.

She thought it was the perfect time to do it just to kill the time.

She started her tour on the second floor since it's where her room was.

There were a total of six rooms in the second floor including her room and the master's bedroom.

The rooms were big and spacious. Since no one was staying in them, there were not much furniture inside them.

She then climbed into the third floor of the house. There were five vacant rooms in there. Some didn't even have furniture in it. She thought that they were still waiting for their purpose. She was thinking of asking one or two rooms for her future use in the future.

Aside from those vacant rooms, the gym, the entertainment room, a mini-theatre which could fit a maximum of forty people and a mini-bar was on the third floor.

Kim Eunji then saw a spiral staircase which leads to the attic.

She pursed her lips when she found the door locked.

She thought the attic could be a perfect place to be her dark room or a perfect place to set up her camera and telescope for stargazing at night.

After her quick tour on the third floor, she then walked downstairs and then started the tour in the first floor.

Compared to the two upper floors, the first floor had more life in it since it had a lot of ornaments and furniture in it.

On the first floor was the receiving area with a grand chandelier on top and the visitor's lounge with luxurious furniture and appliances on it. Nathan's office was also in the first floor but Kim Eunji decided to not get inside since he respects his privacy.

Kim Eunji met most of the servants in the kitchen busy preparing for everyone's dinner. There were a total of thirty people employed to take good care of the entire property.

"Mistress, I was about to go upstairs to bring you this instead." Aunt Lucy said since Kim Eunji had expressed that she's starving.

"That smells good. Thank you Aunt Lucy." Kim Eunji said as the aroma of a bowl of home made wheat noodles reached her nostrils. Aunt Lucy also prepared a glass of fresh orange juice for her.

Kim Eunji then sat on the bar stool and then had her meal.

Marie, who happened to also came in the kitchen to lend a hand paused when she saw Kim Eunji enjoying her noodles.

It was her favorite noodle dish. She thought that Aunt Lucy had prepared it for her but it turned out that it was for Kim Eunji.

"Aunt, is there anything left for me?" Marie asked Aunt Lucy. She knew that it was childish but she felt jealous.

"Of course. I won't forget my favorite niece."

Aunt Lucy said and also prepare bowl of noodles for Marie and served it to her.

"Thanks Aunt."

Kim Eunji only looked up but decided to continue eating.

"Thank you for the food Aunt Lucy." Kim Eunji said after she had her meal.

The meal was enough to fill her stomach.

It was already five when she finished but she still had a room for dinner.

Kim Eunji bid her goodbye and decided to continue to tour around the house.

She happened to passed by this huge hall which looked like a perfect venue to host parties, gatherings and events.

A huge grand chandelier was hanging at the center but that's not what caught Kim Eunji's attention.

It was the grand piano which was sitting on the right corner near the window. She then took a photo of it and walked towards it.

As she stood beside it, she let her hand to lightly touch its keys. Light enough to not make sound.

She then pressed a few keys as she could not contain her curiosity any longer.

As expected, it sounds beautiful. Kim Eunji then placed her camera in top and sat down on the stool.

If her guess was right, it was an antique grand piano that was sold in an auction a couple of years back.

Kim Eunji did not skip the chance to play it.

She sat down in front of it and took her time to admire it.

She then started to play some random notes and then after a few moment, she started to play it. The melody was unfamiliar but it was full of emotions.

It was a sad piece and an unfinished one.

She didn't have the chance to finish it since she had written it while she was still a part of the Mercenary Union. And ever since, playing once again never came in her mind.

She stopped playing with a heavy heart.

After she pressed the last key, an applause resounded on the hall.

Kim Eunji turned around and saw a familiar silhouette standing by the door.

The man then stopped from clapping and made his way towards her.

Kim Eunji stood up and walked towards him.

The two then met half-way.

Nathan then held Kim Eunji's hand and let her spin around.

Kim Eunji then wrapped her arms around Nathan and said.

"Welcome back. I thought you're supposed to arrive tomorrow."

"Well, someone said she missed me so..." Nathan' voice faded as he took his time to claim Kim Eunji's lips. It was a sweet kiss. It was full of care and affection.

"I have to be here." Nathan continued.

"But we talked earlier...wait, don't tell me you're already on your way here when we talked on the phone earlier." Kim Eunji asked as realization hit her.

"I was in my private plane trying to catch some sleep when you called. Why? Aren't you happy that I'm now here?"

Kim Eunji shook her head.

"I am happy." She's happy to see him again.

"And I'm glad that I did came early or else I would miss the chance to hear you playing that masterpiece there." Nathan remarked as he pointed towards the direction of the piano.

"So you also play the piano? I mean, this won't be here if you don't right?" Kim Eunji asked him out of curiosity.

"I don't but my Mom do." He shared.

"And you grew up listening to her playing?" She asked.

"Yes." He admitted as he hugged her slim body.

"I see." Kim Eunji hugged him back as she enjoyed smelling his manly scent.

"Why do I feel like that piece had a tragic ending?" Nathan asked out of nowhere.

"Well, it is indeed a sad song. I wrote it when I'm still stuck in the dark place. It's been years since I last touched and play a piano actually." Kim Eunji said in metaphore.

"Then, I want to hear you play a happy song from now on." Nathan uttered which made Kim Eunji to look at his face.

"An artist should be inspired to do it."

Kim Eunji had her reason why she stopped playing. Compared to photography, music made her more vulnerable. And she hated being vulnerable. That's why she decided to not pursue a career in music. Also, she associated playing the piano whenever she was feeling down. She had not played any happy songs ever since.

"Am I not enough as an inspiration?" Nathan seriously asked her.

Kim Eunji could feel that he's disappointed from his tone.

"You are...but it'll take time. I mean...I don't want to play something that isn't originally composed for you." She reasoned. It's been a while since she composed a song and that song was for him.

"As long as it's you who composed it, I'll listen to it." Nathan reassured.

"Okay." Kim Eunji's worries disappeared as she heard him.

"Wait, why are you wearing your eye patch again?" Nathan finally asked her.

"My left eye was a bit sensitive. Therefore I have to wear this from time to time." Kim Eunji reasoned.

"Let's get it checked tomorrow then, okay?"

"Okay." Kim Eunji had no other choice but to agree with him.

"Good girl." Nathan then gently patted her head.

"I think you should rest. You must be tired from the flight." Kim Eunji said as he saw Nathan's dark circles underneath his eyes.

"Not going." Nathan stubbornly said as he hugged her again.

"You're my energy source. All I need is your hug to keep me going for another day." Nathan teased.

"Tsskk! You and your sweat talking won't work with me this time." Since he's stubborn, Kim Eunji decided to drag him out of the room and walked lead him towards her room.

The female servants could not contain when they saw their interaction.

Kim Eunji was pulling a serious face while Nathan was grinning like a teenage boy who just had fallen in love for the first time.

Kim Eunji then suddenly let go of his hand when she realized that everyone was looking at them.

Nathan pouted like a kid who had lost his favorite toy the moment Kim Eunji let go of his hand.

He then thought of the reason why she did it.

She's shy.

On the other hand, Kim Eunji inwardly cursed herself. She's felt like digging a whole and hide in there. She totally forgot that they were not alone in the house. She cared on what these people would think of her now.

'It was just a misunderstanding. A great misunderstanding.' She wanted to explain herself but suddenly Nathan lifted her chin and a pair of warm and soft lips claimed hers.

She wanted to push Nathan away as a reflex but Nathan held her back as he didn't want to let her go.

Kim Eunji's mind went blank but Nathan bit her lower lip to bring her back to reality. She then looked at the servants who now felt awkward to see such public display of affection.

They were about to leave to give them privacy but dared to make any movement as they didn't want to interrupt them.

Nathan only stopped kissing her when he felt like she was gasping for air.

Kim Eunji thought that her embarrassment would end there but unexpectedly, Nathan shamelessly announced something.

"Please do get used to this moments from now on. Your Mistress is shy, therefore I hope all of you will act as if nothing happened here. I'm the only one who's entitled to bully her." He said affectionately which made Kim Eunji's eyes to widen in shock.

"You!" But before Kim Eunji could even start to get mad at him, Nathan suddenly lifted her up.

"Put me down! You're straining your hand." Kim Eunji struggled and reasoned at the same time. However Nathan did not let her to.

"You'll only hurt me more if you'll keep moving." Nathan reasoned.

"That's why put me down. I'm heavy you know." Kim Eunji refuted.

However, she did not expect that Nathan already had his ways of making her to behave.

"Behave or I'll make you moan my name loud enough for them to hear." Nathan warned as he whispered in a husky voice which was enough for them both to hear.

However, these servants already guessed what their master had whispered to Kim Eunji. It must be something that was not suitable for them to witness based on how Kim Eunji reacted after she heard it.

Kim Eunji was blushing hard and tried her best to hide her face from them.

"Master Bai, dinner will be served at seven." Aunt Lucy reminded him with a smile.

"Alright, will be down here by then." Nathan did not waste anymore time and made his way upstairs with Kim Eunji on his arms.

"You're such a bully." Kim Eunji snorted.

"I know. You have to get used to it." Nathan smiled as he teased her which earned a huff from Kim Eunji.
