Jin took off his gardening gloves before he entered the servant's quarter. He sighs as soon as he closed the door.
Jin pursed his lips as Yumi's word flashed into his mind.
"Name your price!"
"Ha!" Jin laughed bitterly.
He hates it!
He hates it whenever Yumi shows off how rich she is!
It made him feel too small and he hates that feeling!
He hates the fact that he has to suppress his emotions because they belong in a different world!
They were like heaven and earth, she's too high, while he's too low.
Jin sat on his bed slowly,
'How I wish, she is in the same status as me,' Jin said inside.
------------
The next day,
Yumi is already wearing her uniform, but she did not leave yet, she is pacing back and forth in the garage while waiting for Jin to come out of the servant's quarter.
A few minutes later, her eyes lit up when she saw Jin walking to the gate while holding his bicycle's handlebars.
"Hey!" Yumi approaches Jin,
Jin stopped in his track, "It's you again, Young Miss," He commented.
"Yes," Yumi replied, "So, have you already think about it?" Yumi asked.
Jin furrowed his brows, "Think about what?" He asked back.
"To be my tutor!" She said.
Jin blinks his eyes, "I already said, no," He replied and then he continued walking.
"Hey!"
"Why are you refusing?!" Yumi asked, "Isn't this an advantage to you?" She added.
"You can earn extra income as my tutor!"
Jin stopped in his track, he turned back to Yumi and spoke, "You're asking why?" He asked back.
"I don't want to be your tutor, because I don't want to!" He said.
Yumi knitted her brows, " What?!"
'Ugh! This guy is being difficult!'
"Hey, Jin Sebastian!" Yumi called Jin's complete name.
"Don't you think you're being too arrogant?!" She asked annoyedly.
Jin raised the corners of his lips as he throws Yumi a sharp gaze, " Look who's talking?" He asked back sarcastically.
"W-What?!" It is the only word that came out from Yumi's mouth.
"You were the one who's asking for a favor, and yet, you don't even know how to be humble," Jin said coldly.
"Tsss!" Yumi scoffed, "Did you expect me to be humble to you?" She asked sarcastically.
"So, don't expect me to agree to be your tutor," Jin replied. and then he left without turning his head to Yumi.
Yumi was left in the garage, speechless!
'Aish!' Yumi kicked the flower pot in the garage due to frustration!
'No one has ever treated her like that!'
'No one ever dares to reject her!'
Dimitry silently watches his daughter's actions through the window in his bedroom.
Seems like Yumi is talking on Jin about something, her body language tells that she is asking Jin for something, but Jin seems to refuse which made Yumi frustrated.
Dimitry narrowed his eyes, ' Seems like his daughter has finally met her match!
'Hmmm... I'm starting to like that kid!' He said inside.
-----------
Yumi is restless, it's been a day since she tried to talk to Jin about the tutorial for the second time.
She's pacing back and forth, trying to figure out how to convince Jin to agree to her offer!
Yumi slumped on her bed!
She felt tired!
She felt tired of thinking all day, but no idea came into her mind!
No!
I shouldn't give up now!
I have two reasons why I want him to be my tutor!
If I fail to make him my tutor, that means, I am already defeated in a without having a fight!
With that thought, Yumi instantly raised her body from her bed. She sat up and tried to peek in the garden, and there!
She saw Jin doing his afternoon routine!
An idea suddenly popped out in Yumi's mind!
--------
Jin is doing his afternoon routine in the garden when he notices someone else is in the garden.
"Hey, Jin!" Yumi called Jin.
Jin turned to the voice's direction, and there, he saw the Young Miss standing a few meters away from him with a head shears in her hand and he can see the cut leaves stuck into it!
"What are you doing here, Young Miss?" Jin asked suspiciously.
"Oh!" Yumi revealed a smile, " I'm here to lighten your works?" She said.
"What?!" Jin felt like something's not right!
"What did you do?!" He asked, alarmed!
"I just trimmed the plants!" Yumi replied.
"What?!" Jin blurted out and then he hurriedly runs to the thick plants that he used to trim.
His body felt weak as soon as he saw the ruined design of the plant!
"What did you do?" Jin asked in a faint voice as he looked at the ruined plants which almost lost all its leaves!
"As I said, I just want to help you!" Yumi said.
Yes!
That was her intention but she failed!
She ruined Jin's favorite plants!
"You ruined the plant, and you'll say that you wanted to help?!"
"Oh!" Yumi blurted out as she looked at the plant, "What a shame," She said in a faint voice.
"Don't worry, my Dad can buy another one," She said without remorse.
Jin looked at Yumi in disappointment.
"It's so easy for you to say that," He said coldly.
"Do you really think, money could solve every mistake that you do?!"
'Is it so hard to just apologize?' Jin added inside.
"Why?" Yumi looked back at Jin.
" Isn't it what life is about?" She asked back.
"You see?"
People do business for money, they work to earn money, we study so that someday, we can find a job to earn money!"
"See? Everything in this world is all about money!"
Jin shook his head, "I feel sorry for you, Young Miss, you only know how to appreciate money!" he said.
"Hey," Yumi started to feel annoyed, " What else are you rambling again?"
"Don't make this a big issue, it's just a plant!" Yumi replied sarcastically.
"Yes, it was just a plant," Jin said, still in his cold expression.
"But..." Jin spoke again as he lifted his cold gaze to Yumi. "Have you ever think of the time and effort that I spent just to take care of that plant?"
"You should be more considerate to the people around you, Young Miss, You can not do what you want without even thinking of the consequences,"
"Be sensitive enough and appreciate the things around you," Jin said and then he turned and left the garden.
Yumi was once again left alone and speechless!
