Ch-2

Closing her apartment door behind she rested her back against it, recalling everything that happened today.

Flashback

When Sora saw him leaving, she followed him to approach him but then she saw him suddenly receiving a call from someone.

"No"

She heard him saying, as she stepped back a little, not wanting to eavesdrop on his conversation.

"I don't have money for extra classes hyung, you do know I'm looking for a job."

With that she saw him ending the phone call and proceeding to leave again.

Even though, she didn't wanted to eavesdrop, she still could heard him and according to what she heard, she figured out that he, infact is in need of money.

She already had an excuse to approach him but now that was no longer an excuse anymore because she now got a reason to approach him and start a conversation.

"Heyy"

She ran over to catch up to him as he stopped walking and turned to face her after he heard her.

"If you don't mind, I needed a help"

She said and joint her fingers behind her back, scared that he might ignore her again.

"What kind of help?"

She was surprised but suddenly felt nervous again after hearing him, his voice was light and calm also just a bit deep.

"Oh!! Can we walk home together so I can explain you?"

She asked as he stared at her for a brief minute before turning back around and nodding slightly.

"So, you know like my grades are really bad and I've been trying to look for someone who could help me out with it."

She started after clearing her throat, as they walked crossing the university gate together.

"I asked to some of the teachers in here but they didn't had extra time for me and I've saw that you're really good in studies, specially maths."

She continued, as they walked through the not-so-busy street.

"So, I wanted to ask if you could be my tutor, because you know we have tests next week."

She bited her lips in nervousness after finishing her sentence and looked away somewhere.

"For that... I don't have extra time either"

"But just 1 hour won't ruin anything, besides I'll pay you for that."

She gazed at him, waiting for him to reply but he didn't said anything.

"C'mon, it's just for an hour, you can spare it easily and since I live alone, we can study at my place."

She said and waited again for him to say something and it was for when he stopped walking.

"Sorry, I can't"

With that he turned back around and started walking again, leaving her to still process everything.

"Hey what do you mean by you can't?"

She ran to catch up to him, feeling disappointed that he didn't agreed.

"Please don't be like that, you're my only hope. My parents will kill me if my grades won't be good this year."

She pleaded, not wanting to give up already.

"It's not like I can do anything about it."

"Yes you can, please accept my request"

Saying, she stepped infront of him to block his path.

"Pleaseeee"

She pleaded again, cringing because she sounded like a baby but she could less care about it for now.

All she wanted is for him to accept her request just so she could get close to him. Yes she lied earlier, her parents don't know about her grades because she always lied to them.

She has never been good at studying but this time, she genuinely wanted her grades to be good after she saw him how good he's at studying, as well as she wanted to get close to him and the main thing about this all was that she want to help him with her money by paying him for being her tutor, since it seemed like he's in need of money.

She felt a mixture of anger and disappointment when he walked past her, without saying anything. She realised that he's not that easy to convince, so she ran over to him again.

"If you won't accept my request, I'm going to follow you to your house and I won't be going back to home."

She said and started walking with him to wherever he was going.

After some steps, he stopped walking again, poking his cheeks before turning to her as she also stopped after watching him.

"No one in the university should get a hint about it"

Processing what he meant by that, she smiled slowly after realising.

"Ofcourse, no one will know about it, I'll keep it a secret between us."

She said, hiding her excitement and still waiting for him to confirm if he actually agreed.

She widened her eyes slightly and tried every possible thing to keep herself calm when he finally accepted her request of being her tutor.

"Let's exchange numbers so you could text me the schedule later because I'm running late for home."

She slightly yelled and grabbed his phone from his hands.

Dialling away her number and saving it before she returned his phone and made him do the same in her phone. Since it was getting darker, she waved at him and left for her home.

End of flashback

By now she didn't realised that she was sitting on the floor of her doorstep, as she shook her head before getting up and going inside to freshen up.

She was about to text her friends to tell them about this but when she realised, she had assured him that she won't tell anyone, she switched off her phone.

She knows if she'd tell her friends about this, they'll probably ended up spreading it in the university which she doesn't want at all, so she decided to keep it a secret just as she had said to him.

After she was done with her dinner she suddenly received a text, pretending not to be excited, she picked her phone from the dressing table and checked who's text it was.

An unfamiliar number popped up, which she knew that it was Jungwon's, since she had already saved his number.

She know that he must have texted her to talk about the schedule when he'd come over but she still couldn't help and covered her mouth to avoid screaming before she finally read his message.

"From tomorrow onwards, the time will be 7 at night and on weekends, 2 at afternoon, also text me your address."

She texted him back the address of her house and closed her phone before placing it on the table.

It was just a small text about the schedule but it still made her heart so happy.

She couldn't believe they'll be studying together from tomorrow when she literally just met him today.

It was a strange feeling that she never felt before but something about him was just different that she was willing to do anything to be with him.

With a sigh, she looked around everywhere to see how messy her room is and the whole apartment.

Tying her hair up in a bun, she proceeded with the cleaning and tidying up the house. She needs to make sure everything is perfect tomorrow when he'll visit her.

Starting from her room, then the living room, guest room and every other place, she was done tidying it up in 2 hours.

After everything was arranged at it's place, she went to take a shower, returning soon after and then going to bed. She covered herself and her favourite plushie with the blanket, trying to sleep but her mind kept recalling the encounter she had with him.

Shaking her head aggressively, she smacked her own head to prevent it from having any more thoughts, not wanting to daydream as turning off the lights, she laid down again and fell asleep soon after.
