21 Open College Talent (1)

"What the hell are you doing with Sarang" Chan Woo pulled him up to punch him when he saw the guy in the same room as Sarang. Before he could hit, Sarang pulled Jin Chen towards her.

"He was trying help me" Sarang bit her lips by controlling her smile. "Helping you?" GaEun looked at him suspiciously.

"Hey, what's wrong with you all? Is it a sin to help people?" Jin Chen felt really bad, all he wanted was to leave the room. But why are they looking at him like he was a pervert who molested their friend.

They ignored him and examined Sarang. "Are you okay?" Byeol asked her.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I was just there for few minutes" Sarang assured them.

"It must be the work of HyunAh" GaEun gritted her teeth.

"How did you predict that they will lock you in a room?" Chan Woo asked her.

When they were in the car Sarang told her friends that she installed GPS on her hair clip. If she gone for more than five minutes from their sight they can able to find her with the help of GPS.

When Sarang went with the girl, Jae Suk got suspicious and enquired with other volunteers about the registration. They said the registration was already done through online to avoid wasting the time of contestants.

They panicked and followed Sarang's GPS signal and found her.

"I already told you all the evil girls who envy others will always use these kind of cheap tricks. They won't use their brain all they know is to copy others" Sarang shrug.

By listening to their conversation Jin Chen learned that someone intentionally locked her.

"Why they do that?" Jin Chen asked them. "It's because obviously-" Sarang stopped and stared at him, "Why you still here? Aren't you leaving?"

Jin Chen scoffed, "How could you be so heartless? You didn't even apologize for punching me"

"Sarang, you can punch people?" Byeol gasped. "Did your brother taught you?" Chan Woo scared at the thought of Seok Chan demonic glare.

"I just punched him out of instincts" Sarang scratched her head. "Wow, my baby girl is so brave" GaEun patted her head.

"I think you guys are missing the point. I was the one who got hurt when I tried to help her" Jin Chen pulled his hair in frustration.

"You're helping yourself as well. Did you forgot that you also got locked in with me? And who told you to scare me? So we are even. Let's go guys" Sarang left with her friends in a hurry because the competition will be start in ten minutes.

Jin Chen blinked his eyes, "In my twenty five years of life this is the first time I met people like them"

------------------------------

"How did she got out?" HyunAh throw the bottle in her hand. "It was her luck. Let's see how she'll humiliate herself in the competition. I want Mrs.Lin to be ashamed for not choosing me" Mina clenched her fist. They both sat in the center as they mingled as an audience.

Soon the contestants seated on their respective places on the stage.

Lian Mo lost his patience waiting for Jin Chen. He even thought that his young master must have ran away. When he was about to dial Jin Chen's number he felt someone patted his shoulder. It's none other than Jin Chen.

"Finally you came. Come and take your seat. It's about to start" LianMo made him sit.

Jin Chen was still fuming in anger when his eyes caught Sarang on the stage. 'Is she also participating' Jin Chen smirked 'Let's see how you'll perform'

The first round was based on finding the bugs in given period of time. Sarang finished it within thirty minutes normally it might take couple of hours. The audience gasped when they got to know her time limit.

The first round was completed with  only ten students who got selected from twenty. GaEun and Byeol was so shocked seeing Sarang got passed the first round.

In the second round it was the Cyber defense.

It was kind of difficult for a individual to compete. If it was previous Sarang she might have collapsed on the floor but this current Sarang was called genius in her previous life.

Within one hour Sarang broke the defense and scored high.

Everyone in the hall looked at her in awe. How can she broke the defense in only one hour. The last time it was gone for three hours.

Jin Chen was mesmerized by her performance. How her beautiful face looked more attractive when she was concentrating. Jin Chen, know nothing about computers or it's related things. He just came here because of his father's request. Who knows he could find something interesting here.

"You said she will not pass the first round. Now she even broken my record" Mina glared at HyunAh. "It's c-clearly written in her academic records. I think she is cheating" HyunAh came to the conclusion.

"HyunAh, I think you're stupid. How can she cheat in front of hundreds of people? Beside, the system were controlled by Nabi group of companies. Do you think they will let anyone to cheat?" Mina was clearly upset she stood and left. HyunAh ran after her.

"Can you pinch me? I think I'm dreaming" GaEun said. "Ahhh" instead of GaEun, Chan Woo screamed. Byeol pinched him instead of GaEun.

"It's not a dream" Jae Suk said after he heard Chan Woo.

Only five students passed the second round. All the other four students were in state of panic after seeing Sarang's time limit. They even started to admire her at the same they envied her for having such talent which they all wished for.

The third round was to hack a system. It was controlled by high level hacker in 'Nabi group of companies' who was champion for eight consecutive years. No one could beat him except the president of Nabi.

"Do you think she'll able to win" Beom Seok asked SungJin nervously.

"Didn't you see her performance in the second round?" SungJin has to admit this little girl gave him a lot of surprises in the past few hours.

"Yeah, but now she's going to face Joo Won. He's the second best hacker in the country" Beom Seok know the first was SungJin.

"I'll bet on your new car that she'll win" SungJin gaze never left Sarang. He never wanted to miss any single expression on her face when she looked so serious which tickled his heart.

Jae Bum thought that his young master totally lost his mind.

"Hey, come on. Why do I have to bet on my baby? It's unfair" Beom Seok pouted at the thought of losing his car.

SungJin ignored his complaints. He felt guilty for not believing her before.

'I'm sorry. I will make it up to you for the rest of my life'
