Her thumb swiped her phone slowly at first before the content started irritate her more as she scrolled faster but her anger was leaking when she slammed the device onto the desk, probably cracked the screen as well but it's just another problem money can solve.

The photos containing wide smiles and sunny beach from the university's blog was how Serene got to know the chaos she failed to bring upon her son through that girl.

Harley Robinson

Her breathing became uneven as she thought of how one mere little girl could have such great impact on her family and she didn't fancy it one bit. She have brushed off the fact that her first born mingled around that girl and the woman was rather satisfied with the hint of fear she had left in the girl's eyes but it seemed like it wasn't enough because now her younger son was absorbed by the girl as well.

The worse part is that her husband have found fondness with the girl and her splendid work in the Ivy League University made it harder for the woman to interfere and cause harm that would make Harley stay away.

She have also found her talented young son contributed more than enough in the club of hers to get all of them to Philippines, something that emphasized her son's indulgence in the girl.

Even with all the stress and aggravation, Serene breathed out a sigh of relief as she knew her plan of destroying the booth may not work out the way she wanted but it indeed planted a fear in the young couple. All she had to do was to continue to place these sprinkles of fear in them until they piled up and she would land a big strike that guarantee the separation of the two. Then and only then, she will drag Jimin back, marry him to a rich politician and she will have everything she wanted.

A puff of smoke fogged her vision as she let the thick bitter air infused her lungs. Her eyes trailed to the lowest drawer of her large desk before her hand reach where her eyes were staring at. Her fingers slipped in before pulling out with a picture between her index and middle finger.

Her blank stare at the picture soon turned into painful and sorrowful gaze as memories flashed across her mind, stinging every nerve. She moved the picture nearer to her freshly lit cigarette and let the edge of the photo touched the little spark of fire from the cancerous stick. It wasn't long before the picture caught the fire and it spread, devouring the faces she once loved wholeheartedly, now despise wholeheartedly.

"You can't hurt me now.....you can never hurt me...."

The woman known for her intelligence and stern and stoic self have curled up on her chair as she watched the picture burnt in front of her.

"OH HELL NO"

Jimin's eye twitched at the sight of the boy he hated ever since the day they met. He was rather okay with the two roommates assigned to him but not the third one which the other two boys were staring with much annoyance as well.

"Yo Park whassup"

The hated boy just leisurely laid on his single bed and peace signed at the newly entered boy. Jimin shifted his eyes between the other two roommates who was his seat-partner and Harley's seat-partner and that one particular boy as his mind processed the unfortunate situation.

"What the fuck is he doing here?"

Jimin asked the boy with big eyes but his usual boxy smile had turned into a frown. He turned to his seat-partner who was glaring at the laying figure but the boy just shook his head.

"Show some love to yo homie would ya"

"Fuck off, Oscar"
