Kim Eunji and Iris ca back to their dorm after she had three cups of milk flavored ice cream.
The amount of ice cream she consud shocked Iris a lot.
When they entered the dorm, they were surprised that everyone was in their living room hanging out.
"Oh! Where did that two of you go? We thought you're already inside resting." Guo Xiaolan imdiately asked them the mont they entered.
"Sorry guys. EJ wanted to have a cup of her ice cream. So we went and ate one." Iris explained.
"EJ, are you okay?" Yun i asked her.
"Yes." Kim Eunji simply answered.
"Girls, if you'll keep on asking her if she's okay...she would surely felt bad." Fu Rong said.
"Yes...yes. Rong'er is right. She showed her scar to everyone. I bet, she knew what she was doing. She's ready to face whatever consequences her actions had caused." Marie ca in her defense which made Kim Eunji's brows to raise a bit.
"Well, Marie had a point." Kim Eunji supported her as she added, "I'd rather feel pity for all of you guys if you'll be pitying . I'm quite satisfied with what I did earlier. I'm not a Kim for nothing." She added.
"Honestly EJ, I really found your reasoning quite weird. I an no one would dare do what you did. If it was , I would make sure to make it a secret and hide it until I have enough money and visit a dermatologist." Wen Zhen added.
"Hmmm. Was that a complint or are you criticizing ?" Kim Eunji asked her.
"More of a comnt. Anyways, do you have any plans to remove that scar?" Wen Zhen asked her in curiosity.
However, Kim Eunji only smiled at them and said, "I have no plans in removing this scar...yet. This is still useful for in a way." The girls could only helplessly shook their heads in disbelief.
"Good. Make it quick. I don't want them to ridicule you or find faults on you. Honestly if soone would deliberately bully you in broad daylight, I would kick their assess, too." Guo Xiaolan said in her most serious face.
"Thank you Xiaolan." Kim Eunji said.
Guo Xiolan's personality really reminds her of Kelly.
"Wait, why do we feel like you were acquainted with Young Master Ling before coming here." Fu Rong asked which also made everyone curious.
Kim Eunji sighed before she decided to answer her question.
"Before we et here...I happened to bump into him when I attended a party a couple of days ago. Things got complicated and I don't want to be involved in their ss. Matters between rich families would never end good." Kim Eunji shortly explained.
She was hoping that they would not probe any further.
"Cousin? So does that an you ca from a rich family as well? Young Master Ling would never attend petty parties." Yun i asked and supported her questions with facts.
"Now that I think about it, your IU card was quite unique as well." Wen Zhen also supported Yun i's theory.
"How should I say it? My maternal grandmother is from their circle. I just discovered about it later in my life. And her family was kind of associated with the Ling family in a way." She looked at their faces to see their reaction.
"But I was unwelcod in that family, except for my male cousin. Therefore I decided to live on my own. My photographer job quite helped save up for my studies. With my Man and cousin's help, everything's doing fine for . So I should make them proud and not make them worry. And oh, in case you wonder Iris was sent by my cousin to protect originally. But she's not going to do that since she should be studying just like ." She finished explaining which made all of them dumbfounded.
"Wow! I never thought wealthy families had such drama." Yun i felt like she was enlightened in a way.
"Yeah right? You made the right choice to not be with them. I could not dare to imagine what they would do to you given your beauty. Like...they could use to marry you off to so third generation heirs to make connections." Guo Xiaolan said which made Kim Eunji to chuckle.
"Hahahhaha! You're right." However Kim Eunji did not said anymore. And instead turned around and leave towards their room.
When she was inside, she checked her phone and saw that it was a hundred percent full. She imdiately turned it on and saw few missed calls from J and Kelly. She frowned when there was no Nathan in the call directory.
However, she sent him a ssage wishing him a good day.

While Kim Eunji has just started her day, her man was about to start his private talk with Mike Roland.
"Do you want sothing to drink? Wine? Whiskey?" Mike Roland offered however Nathan politely declined him.
"I'm sorry but I think I have to decline. I felt that I should be sober at the mont since the things you're going to reveal is related to my wife." Nathan said in all seriousness.
Mike Roland chuckled as he heard his response.
"Well Nathan, why don't you tell how you t our Eunji? Could you please tell in detail?" Mike wanted to know this so he could decide whether or not he should tell him about it or not.
"I t Eunji...no I t her as Eve during my military days. It was my first ti to be assigned in a field mission then I had an accident. The plane that we were boarding had a bomb planted in it. When I woke up, I found myself in an island. I was badly injured. I don't know how many days I was out. I was so weak and starving that I could not even move a muscle." Nathan's eyes turned serious as he recalled what happened to him back then.
"I thought I was going to die there...alone. I suddenly felt emotional as I rembered Mom. I was really helpless at that ti. And I prayed to God to sent soone to help . And then she ca...Eve."
A smile was ford in his lips when he recalled the first ti he saw her.
"She was this mysterious mask girl that ca into my rescue. Unfortunately, I passed out before I could even ask her na. Then, I saw myself waking up inside a cave. And the girl was there...cooking sothing for to eat. And I found out that my injuries were all bandaged. She told I was out for a week. And I finally found out that her na was Eve."
"Seems like you had a very interesting first encounter with Eunji." Mike Roland interrupted him.
"Yeah. Pretty much. I found out that she was stuck in the island just like but she had no plans in going back to the mainland if there's a way that she could go back. It took a month to recover from my injuries. And within that span of ti, I fell in love with her. I fell in love even though I had not seen her face." What he an was that he loved her because of her qualities as a person.
"You don't know how happy I was when she finally revealed her face to . She said she was wearing a mask because she's afraid I would be scared of her face. Which never happened when I saw it for the very first ti. Yes, she had a deep scar on her face and had lost her left eye but that could not even hide the fact that she's extrely beautiful."
"Right. She's such a beauty even if she had that ugly scar on her face." Mike Roland seed to agree with him.
"Yes. Eventually she admitted that she had feelings for , too. And she decided to co with in the capital of we got the chance. Our life spent in that island was really aningful. And I believed that having that accident and being stuck in the island was a blessing in disguise as I found the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with."
"So...how did the two of you got separated?" Mike Roland was very curious how they parted ways.
"I ca back to Tokyo with her. I imdiately went back to the camp to report that I'm alive so that my Mom would not worry. I also passed on my resignation letter to my superiors that day. After almost losing my life...I realized that I'm not brave enough to put myself on the line for the country. Call selfish but there are more important things that I should consider. I could still serve my country by being a law abiding citizen and beco a productive mber of the community."
Nathan's deanor changed when he recalled sothing terrible.
"Then one day, soone sent a video. The video was about a woman fighting n wearing black suits...like ninja suits. I watched her...how she rcilessly killed those people. Then her last victim managed to remove the mask on her face, it was then that I realized who she was. It was Eve.
I imdiately went ho and confronted her about the video. She did confess on who she was."
"She told you everything?" Mike Roland asked him.
"She did. I learned about her past. About her being the most wanted killer in the world and her plan to quit and leave that life. But...but I was a coward back then. I did not believe her and I left. One day, I was abducted by those n. And I saw her there with my captors. She flashed a sad smile to then left. I was drugged and lost my consciousness the next second. I was held captive there for days. It was there I received the news that she was dead. She was killed when the militaries and other International organizations sieged their camp. I could not believe it myself. I don't want to accept that she was gone. But what could I do, I was helpless. I was weak. I hated myself back then. I was full of regrets." Nathan' expression cracked when he recalled how stupid he was for leaving her.
Mike could see the feeling of regret evident in Nathan's eyes. Seeing that, his heart ached for the man in front of him.
"I didn't know how I managed to escape from that place. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital and my Mom was watching over . But I could not recall anything."
"You lost your mories?" Mike interrupted as he sipped his drink.
"Yes. I totally forgot about her. But deep inside, I felt empty. I felt like sothing was missing. The worst case, I keep dreaming of a woman's silhoutte which I concidentally called as Eve as well . Then I decided to go to the US and accepted a job offer where I discovered I was destined to inherit it as what my Uncle insisted. There, I t the woman whom I thought I want to spend the rest of my life with. The woman whom I thought would be my Eve. I don't know why I did not tell her about my identity and let her believe that I'm just an ordinary employee back then.
We dated and I ended up to the point where I was about to propose to her and tell her about my identity. However, found out that she cheated on and married another guy which happened to be my rival exactly on the sa day that I was about to propose to her. As broken-hearted as I was, I imdiately flew to Paris to et with an investor. I got drunk and happened to have a one night stand with a pure woman. It was then that I found out that she was Eunji when she told the other day."
"Which made confused as to how it was her when I knew we already did it before. Can a woman have two hyn?"
"No." Mike imdiately answered him. But before he continued, Mike asked him another question.
"Nathan, if the thing in the past happenes to repeat itself, would you still do the sa thing? Would you be a coward and ran away? Are you going to leave her again?"
"No! I would never do that again. You don't know how guilty I was when I rembered what I did. But now that we're finally together after everything that we've been through...I would never leave her again and I would never let her leave !" Nathan said in pure conviction.
Seeing the conviction in Nathan's eyes, Mike made up his mind to tell him the thing that he was so eager to know.
"About the hyn...it's imposible for a woman to broke her hyn twice. The blood on the sheet would never be there unless..."
"Unless what?!" Nathan suddenly beca impatient and watched how Mike shook his head in disbelief.
"Why don't you take a breath first. I don't want you to pass out when you learned the truth. I believe you're here because you were also thinking the sa thing. You're doubting if the Eve that you t in the past was the Eve that you're currently married with."
Nathan could not find words to refute Mike Roland's statent. Seeing that he was silent, Mike Roland decided to not tornt the man.
"A woman's hyn would not rupture twice and the blood stain should not be there unless you have had make love to two different people." Mike Roland dropped the most shocking revelation that Nathan didn't want to believe.
