Lee Min Ho was stunned, he couldn't believe his cousin who had always spoilt and pampered him would raise his hands on him, that too for a woman and to top it all he even asked him to apologize to her!
After thinking about it for a few days Min Ho decided to apologize to Su Min. He knew he would never be able to escape from Jun Pyo's wrath if he didn't.
Hence, after a well thought out plan he went with his boys to apologize to her.
Su Min couldn't believe her eyes when Min Ho came along with his group to apologize to her. She found it really hard to believe. She blinked repeatedly to be sure she wasn't Dreaming or hallucinating.
As if he could he could read her thoughts, Jun Pyo stood beside her. With his arms wrapped around him, Jun Pyo smiled seeing her reaction to Min. Ho's apology. "It's not a dream." Jun Pyo stated as he stood next to her.
"Really? It's really not a dream? Su Min asked again with disbelief.
"Wow! So I finally get to be free from being bullied. Su Min asked happily. She still couldn't believe it was really happening.She couldn't believe that someone as great as Min Ho could apologize to her.
"I am finally free." Su Min beamed happily. Su Min looked to the side and her eyes landed on Jun Pyo. "How formidable is this person?" Not only did he save her from the bullies, he also got them to apologize to her?" Who was he?" He was able to make the great Min Ho apologise to someone like me. Su Min thought as she looked intently at Jun Pyo.
Sensing her serious gaze Jun Pyo coughs jokingly and folded his arms and said, "I told you I will protect you, Didn't I?"
Snapping out of her thoughts Su Min nodded positively. "Yes you did. You did promised that thanks a bunch."
Su Min was so happy that she felt like dancing. She couldn't help but think. "Is this how one feels when a prince saves a damsel in distress and that damsel happens to be you? Su Min blushed at this thought.
Looking shyly at him Su Min thought of how to thank him better but what could she possibly offer?
"How do I repay you for your help?" She asked Jun Pyo who only smiled in response.
"Ah yes." Su Min nodded as she remembered something. She looked at him shyly. "You mentioned that you needed My help but you didn't tell me what for?
"Oh about that," Jun Pyo stuttered, he didn't know how to explain it. After gathering his thoughts for sometime he decided to just speak.
"Well, seeing that you've been at the top of your class since you joined here, whereas I haven't been doing well in my studies, so I... I thought to ask you to be my tutor. Jun Pyo explained in one breath.
"Tu...Tor?! Su Min gaped. Tutor?" She asked again.
"Yes." Jun Pyo replied and he quickly added to his words to stop her from refusing. "You are not allowed to say No."
Su Min smiled at his words and slowly fiddled with her hand. "I wasn't going to say No. I was only wondering why you chose me to be your Tutor."
"Well it has to be you or nobody else." Jun Pyo murmured.
"Did you say something?" Su Min asked when she heard his inaudible murmur.
"I said, I believe you would be able to do it better than anyone else."
"You think I can?" Su Min asked with disbelief at how much confidence he had in her.
"Yeah, I know you can." Jun Pyo repeated.
Feeling relaxed at his confidence in her, Su Min asked, "When do we begin?".
"I'd say immediately if I'm asked to choose. However, I have to find a quiet place where we would make our tutorial spot. I wouldn't want us to be disturbed at all When I have found us a spot then I'll come take you to the place.
"Okay No problem, let's do that." Su Min beamed.
"Alright I'll pick you up after school." Jun Pyo said before leaving.
"Uh... I... "
The words got stuck in her throat when she looked to the side and saw that he was gone. "Again?" She screamed inwardly.
"Urgh.." Su Min groaned in frustration. I didn't even ask for his name and I don't know who he is."
*After School...."
Jun Pyo picked Su Min up as agreed. He took her to his favourite place outside school.
"Wow! This is... This place is beautiful." Su Min beamed as she scanned the surrounding. There was a large man made mountain in the place. The mountain was surrounded by beautiful flower beds. A small pond was in the middle of both the mountain and flowerbed forming some sort of Partition, the pond even had few Swans in it.
The ambience was serene and peaceful. it felt like a different world.
"Their own world."
Jun Pyo looked at Su min's stunned expression and he felt proud of himself. He just knew she was going to like it.
"Do you like it?"
His voice brought her out of her daze and she turned to him. "It's... it's really beautiful."
The timid Su Min hadn't seen something like it so she was amazed at the beauty of the place.
"Yeah, I know," Jun Pyo said Half-heartedly.
Swallowing the rest of the sentence. What he had wanted to say was, Yeah I know it is but it's not as beautiful as you are."
However, he doesn't want to make her feel awkward with him at the moment. He wanted her to be free with him before he'd make a move on her.
Su Min looked at him and couldn't help but wonder why he always hides his face Everytime so she thought to ask him.
"Why do you always wear that?" Su Min suddenly asked.
"Wear what?"
"The...Uh.." SuMin demonstrated with her hand across her shoulder towards her head.
"Oh, The hood?" Jun Pyo asked, realizing that he hadn't really shown her his face.
"Yes, And the mask too." She said pointing at his face. "Why are you hiding your face?"
