Nathan dropped her off a few blocks away from the gates of Imperial University.

"Are you really sure you don't want me to send you off in the airport?" Kim Eunji asked.

"Do you not want me to drop you off properly?" Nathan asked her back.

Kim Eunji could only chuckle in helplessness. She never thought she would meet her match. The person who was equally as stubborn as she was.

"Geez! Call me before and after you board the plane." She strictly told him.

"I will, Mommy." Nathan teased.

"Hubby?! I'm serious!" Kim Eunji scolded him.

"I know. I know. I just didn't want this quick separation like an LDR one. Geez! I don't want to be a dramatic person in a sense but I guess I am. The only assurance that I'm holding at the moment is that you'll be safe there."

"Awe! You're so sweet. One month will be quick if we won't mind it. But how can I not if I'm going to be yearning for your presence all day? It's your fault! You spoiled me so much. You lure me in your trap."

"My fault?! Well, I was born a natural charmer. It's not my fault that you had fallen for it." Nathan cockily said and then winked at her.

"Mm." Kim Eunji slowly hummed this time.

"Can I have a hug before I got out of the car?" She requested.

Nathan smiled as he replied, "With pleasure wifey."

Kim Eunji pounced into him and gave him a bone crushing hug.

Nathan could only caress her hair dotingly until she let go of the hug.

"My big baby. Be good. Behave at school and make Daddy proud." Nathan said which earned him a slap on the shoulder from Eunji.

"Yah! I'm no longer a kid!" She whined as she blushed hardly.

"You'll always be my baby and my queen at the same time whether in bed or not." Nathan whispered huskily.

Kim Eunji pushed him away and immediately went to open the door like a scared kitten.

"No more, okay?! I'm really tired. You had drained me out earlier." She pleaded which made Nathan to chuckle as he saw her reaction.

"Not so fast wifey. Doing it in the car was somewhat inappropriate, don't you think?" He truthfully expressed.

"You! Pervert!"

"I just want to tease you one more time. Come here." Nathan beckoned for him to come and Kim Eunji immediately obeyed him.

"I'll miss you." Kim Eunji suddenly became emotional.

"I'll miss you, too." Nathan kissed her temples and smiled to reassure her that everything would be okay.

"I love you."

"I love you, too." Nathan then kissed her lips gently one last time.

Nathan did not got out of the car as Kim Eunji didn't want him to. Looking at Man 1, Man2 and Tiger who were standing behind Kim Eunji's back, Nathan reminded them to take good care of Kim Eunji.

"We will, Master Boss!" The trio said in unison.

"Geez! Coming with me inside was really unnecessary. I can take care of my own." Kim Eunji wanted to persuade them to leave her alone but her attempts were futile.

"We know. Still it's a must Mistress." Tiger answered her.

"Oh?"

Since deploying a security escort inside the campus was prohibited, Man 1, 2 and Tiger decided to be a sports instructor and a student respectively. That way, they could closely monitor the environment around her.

Man 1 and 2 were both good looking and were still on their mid-20's. They just didn't shave their mustache and had grown their hair long making them looked older than their age.

But now, since Man 1 had to be an instructor, he had to shave his mustache off and cut his hair a short clean cut. On the other hand, Man 2 had the liberty to maintain his hair, however, he decided to shave his mustache but cut his hair on shoulder level since he chose to be a school staff.

Marco who was driving Nathan's car cleared his throat to remind him that it's time for them to leave.

"Master Boss, it's time." He cautiously said as he saw that Nathan didn't want to leave Kim Eunji behind.

"Take care okay? Don't tire yourself. I'll call you from time to time." Nathan kissed her forehead one last time and reluctantly released her.

"I will. You too. If I'll found out that you had skipped a meal, I'll definitely scold you none-stop." Kim Eunji reminded him and looked at Marco as if giving a silent command to closely monitor Nathan for her.

"And...I love you." She added.

"I love you more." He responded.

Kim Eunji watched as the door of the car closed. She waved her hand as she watched the car and his security envoy slowly blending in the busy highway.

Kim Eunji then got inside the car she had bought, grey Subaru Legacy car with Man 1 and Man 2 on siting on the driver's seat and Tiger and her sitting on the back seat.

Within less than a minute, they entered the entrance of Imperial University. Since it's already five in the afternoon, close to dusk, many students could be seen on the school grounds hanging out with their newly found friends.

Since they were the late comers, all eyes were on them.

Kim Eunji suddenly felt uneasy. She didn't like this feeling at all.

A school staff guided them to where the parking lot was.

"Since we're here. Don't call me Lady Boss or Mistress...worse, Missus Bai. Call me EJ if you felt calling me by my name was so casual and inappropriate. I want to have a peaceful and ordinary life. Understood?"

"Understood." The three agreed.

"But I want to know your names. It would be weird to call you Man1, 2 and Tiger while talking to all of you."

"Call me Iris Tang." Tiger introduced.

"Derek Long." Man 1 introduced.

"Darren Long." Man 2 followed.

"Brothers?" Tiger and Kim Eunji asked in unison.

"Cousins." The two male answered in unison.

"Oh. I see. Then, it's a good start for all of us. It's a pleasure finally knowing your names."

"The pleasure is ours, EJ!" The trio agreed.

"Good. Then, let's go!" Kim Eunji wore her bucket hat lower and wore her face mask before she opened her door side.

Man 1 and Tiger followed her as well while Man 2 decided to take care of the car and the ladies' suitcases.

With her head held low, Kim Eunji decided to follow the guide which lead them to their dorms. She was carrying her hand carry bag and hand bag while her two suitcases were to follow.

Thankfully, Imperial University had a mall inside the campus vicinity so she could buy some clothes if necessary.

Their guide brought the two ladies to their dorms first while the boys managed to look for their own. Since Man 2 was now one of the school staff, he'll be staying in the staff house.

Since they came in late, Kim Eunji and Tiger or Iris Tang they had missed the school's club selection as well. Those freshmen who were recruited to the campus groups could choose to move in to their respective houses. Since they didn't belong to any yet, Kim Eunji and Tiger were brought to their original dorm room.

In Imperial University, the dorm were found inside this two fifty-six story buildings. One for the boys and one for the girls. And were arranged according to status.

Their assigned room was on the third floor which belonged to the University Scholars and students with simple family backgrounds.

Kim Eunji had asked the registrar in-charge to assign her in the dorm or room where she won't stand out that much.

When they arrived, they found out that they were not alone in the room. They had to share it with three more people.

As soon as the guide opened the door, Kim Eunji immediately saw two people. One of them she could recognize. It's Marie.

The room was quite cozy. Big enough to fit six people.

Near the main entrance was the shoe cabinets with their names on it.

A few meters was the living room with four couches sitting near the floor to ceiling window which was covered by a vibrant colored curtains.

There were also carpets laid on the floor and a book shelve attached on the concrete wall.

Well, the motif inside the room was shades of green and a mixture of light yellow in between.

There were two doors inside the room. One was for their room and one for the toilet and bathroom.

At least each dorm had a private bathroom. They had public bathrooms too separated for both genders.

The other door leads to their room. At least there's some privacy.

Kim Eunji and Tiger were then brought to their bedroom.

Marie and the girl followed behind them.

Their guide then left after they were given a flyer which contained the Do's and Don'ts while inside the dorm.

Looking around, Kim Eunji was quite impressed at how they managed to maximize the space by letting the students sleep on bunk beds with wardrobes and study table below them.

Over all, it was more or like an apartment rather than a room. What's missing was the kitchen where they could cook meals which they don't have to.

The school cafeteria served them meals every meal every day. If they're not satisfied, they could dine in in one of the restaurants inside the school compound.

Marie was quite unhappy to know that Kim Eunji was her room mate. What more, she brought another minion with her.

Sensing the hostility from her, Kim Eunji decided to ignore her and focused her attention on the shy girl sitting on top of the bunk bed and gave her a gentle nod as if she recognized her presence.

The girl bowed down her head as she felt like blood had rushed on her face as she was shy.

Witnessing this, Marie was quite unhappy. 'Was she trying to charm her, too?' Marie thought.

Kim Eunji removed her hat and masks as she chose her bunk bed. "Iris, do you want to sleep on that bed or that bed?" She rather let Iris to choose hers first before her. Either ways, she would be fine.

Kim Eunji removed her mask and her hat as she completely revealed her bare face. She then placed her hand carry bag on the chair.

"So pretty." Their shy room mate subconsciously said.

"You're prettier." Kim Eunji complimented back which made the shy girl blushed more.

Kim Eunji then slowly unpacked her things. Since, Iris or Tiger chose the bed which was on the left side of the window. Thus, Kim Eunji chose the one on the right.

Right after, they heard a knock on the door. Iris volunteered to open the door and it was Darren or Man 2 who was carrying their luggage this time. He was now wearing the staff house uniform.

Marie was a bit shocked when she saw Darren. Of course she had known him for a long time.

Eunji gave him a warning glance. Of course Darren knew what that means.

He left the room after he placed their luggage and excused himself as if nothing happened.

Marie gave Eunji a meaningful glance but Kim Eunji decided to ignore her.

"The cafeteria will be serving dinner soon. Are the two of you going to eat out in the restaurant or are you going to the cafeteria with us?"

Tiger looked at Eunji. She would eat wherever her Mistress would eat.

"Let's try the cafeteria." Kim Eunji said.

"Okay. Then let's go?" The shy girl enthusiastically said.

As they walked to the entrance, the shy girl suddenly got the courage to introduce her self.

"I'm Guo Xiolan. This is Marie. We've been room mates since freshmen years."

"I'm Iris. This is my...mas- cousin, Kim Eunji but you can call her EJ." Tiger took the liberty to introduce Kim Eunji to her.

Sensing that Marie was not talking, Guo Xiaolan suddenly became worried.

"Marie, what's wrong? You suddenly became silent." She asked her good friend.

"Nothing. I just suddenly felt bad about something. Don't mind me." Marie said.

"How can I? You're my friend." Xiaolan insisted.

"If you're really my friend, don't talk to them." Marie suddenly became unreasonable. Her sudden change of attitude made Xiaolan to be puzzled. On the other hand, Kim Eunji was unbothered by it.

Iris decided to walk behind her but Kim Eunji pulled her to her side and made her walked beside her instead.

"I don't need you to guard my back. The environment's quite friendly so stop being paranoid. I suggest, you should smile and relax. And besides, you're not going to be my shadow. At least during our stay here." Kim Eunji truthfully said with her voice enough for Iris to hear.

Iris wanted to say something but decided to stay quiet.

"And you're pretty. So, you should smile more." Kim Eunji even pinched her cheeks to make a force smile from her face.

Kim Eunji was already looking forward for this new life and new experience. However, her heart suddenly felt lonely as it already missed someone dearly.
