Prologue



Prologue

The sun and it rays radiated onto the seat on the east of the building. The seats on the east side were preoccupied by them. Nobody wanted to sit there, to be burnt down by these rays. Everyone knew about this little environmental condition whenever they have to attend this special psychology lecture. It had been almost a month that the course had taken it start and one month was enough to find out such petty detail.

The subject itself was interesting but the lecturer was always droning while delivering them. It had been a month and yet, he was still on the introductory bit of psychology.

In one month time, the number of student attending dropped drastically from a full house to a humble number of tens. These students were either immune to the lecturer’s passive way of teaching or were required to attend all the lectures. The former includes student who gotten their way into this prestigious college by scholarship.

Or they have nothing to do for the day.

Like Kim Jae Jeong who was lazily fingering his pencil.

Kim Jae Jeong was one of the pretty boys in the college. He was admired by the crazy ladies in the campus for having more feminine features than most of his admirers. His hair was dark brown, attenuating his fair skin. He has the coldest face whenever he wasn’t smiling and killed people with his voice when he talked. A lot of his course mates had the same impression of him. He was a cold man. He looked like those who get whatever he had laid his eyes on. However, in one month time, he had proven them wrong. He was one of the friendliest freshmen and always bore a smile on his face.

Tomorrow, the lecturer would have more student thanks to this attractive student. Rumours will spread throughout the campus informing the crazy admirer that Kim Jae Jeong was attending Psychology lecture.

Kim Jun Su sitting in front of the hall was listening attentively to the lecturer.

He was not forced to attend it. He attended it in the noble quest of obtaining knowledge. His fingers gripped strongly on his pen and ran furiously across the page when the lecturer was mumbling something Kim Jun Su acknowledged as important. Kim Jun Su was another weird ball. He had the look of a man and a bit on the short side. He wore a pair of glasses to class and put them back into his spectacle box whenever the lesson finished. Usually, he tried to keep his number of friends to the minimal amount just enough to fill up the society quote. Not much was known about him. He liked to stay hidden in the crowd and then, occasionally showed up at his friends’ house for a game or two on the ps2.


In the lecture hall, someone was wishing that the lecture would actually end already. She was sitting in the sunny side of the hall and was feeling the hatred of the sun. Well, the feeling was mutual. Lee Li Yin felt really like smacking herself for forgetting to label good seat. First of all, she was almost late for the lecture. All the goody-two-shoes had already laid their butt on the seats shady side nearest to the lecturer. All the remaining seats on the shady side were too far from the lecturer to even see him. Only a complete idiot who looked like a sissy girl would sit at the far end of the hall, near the exit. Not that it annoyed Lee Li Yin. It was just a small pain in the neck. She could readily bet her life that tomorrow she will have a harder time in finding a seat because most of his fan club will know by then that he was having a concert in the hall and will most probably attend this little fan meeting of his.

“ In the 4th century B.C, Hippocrates actually stated that the human is composed of 4 different type of liquid,” the lecturer muttered.

Luckily the administrator of the institute was not stupid. They had actually prepared him a microphone.

He continued to mutter in to the mouth piece.

“And he categorised people according to the composition of these fluids in the body,”

The lecturer wobbled his way to the blackboard and wrote down four words.

Sanguis.
Chole
Melanchole
Phlegma

“And so you have it. The different composition of these fluids in the human body according to him affect your health and your mental condition. These was his postulation which was obviously wrong. but nowadays this term was used to categories people into four different group according to their personality,”

The lecturer took a look at his watch and decided it was time to end the lecture.

“Next week, we will have more to go on these topics and if you are hardworking enough, go and read up on this,”

“DISMISS,”





PS ; this music is the nearest to describe the feeling ought to be there.
i know, i sucks as a writer. ^^
