Chapter 11
The Specific Tutor

"Hey Kim Mingyu!" Both Mingyu and Lisa turned around simultaneously, only to find Jungkook looking at them from behind. Lisa didn't knew if she was just seeing things or something, but Jungkook had a scowl on his face. "Hey Jungkook!" Mingyu waved happily and called him over. Jungkook walked towards them with heavy steps, Lisa awkwardly looked away, trying to avert her gaze.

"How are you man?!' Mingyu immediately pulled Jungkook in a tight hug, but Jungkook kept looking at Lisa who was trying to avoid his gaze and patted Mingyu on his back.

"I'm handsome as always! You?" Jungkook grinned, a very unusual grin that made Lisa wonder if he was being sarcastic with Mingyu without letting him know.

"Well, I-"
"Excuse me Mr. Kim, I'll go now. I have works to attend." Lisa politely smiled at Mingyu who returned it with the same and waved.

Without glancing at Jungkook, she turned her head and walked past him. As soon as she was out of sight, Jungkook frowned deeply looking back at Mingyu, "How do you know her?" Mingyu was confused for a second before he quickly realised whom Jungkook was talking about. "Ah Lisa? Well my dad assigned her to tutor me here from now on. In return, she will get what she wants." Mingyu shrugged with a careless smile.

"And what does she want?" Jungkook asked with a more irritated expression. His throat itched and his breathing became heavy as he kept looking here and there, feeling the unknown anger in him rising bit by bit.

"Oh, she wanted a scholarship from a long time. So my dad used it as a que.
Since she's one of the best students in the University, my dad wanted her to tutor me." Mingyu smiled with a shrug.

Jungkook's frown only deepend before he walked away without sparing any glance at Mingyu who kept confusedly calling him from behind.

"Yes my son, I'm really happy to see you calling me today. Tell me, how can I enlighten-"

"Cut the crap!" Jungkook gritted his teeths in anger and looked around for some clear air. "I want a favour from you." Jungkook spoke with a helpless voice.

"Oh, then tell me. What should I do for you? I'm ready to do anything for you as long as you are following my instructions." Jungkook's father spoke from the other hand, crushing his cigarette in the ash tray.

"I haven't asked you to do anything for what I did for you and your so-called business. So now, I want you to do something for me in return, without expecting anything from me." Jungkook's voice was as cold as ice, but the man on the other hand chuckled lowly, as if used to his son's behaviour.

"I'm a man of my words my son. Don't you worry, since you did what I asked you to do, and still will be doing it till the time being, I will feel really indebted if I don't do things for you that you want." Jungkook's father was no different from him. As they say, the blood runs through the generations.

"Recently I'm not doing well in my studies, I want a tutor. A specific one."

"Lisa-yah! Your mobile is ringing." Minnie told Lisa who was washing the dishes in the kitchen area. Lisa nodded her head and quickly dried them with a clean towel before walking towards the staffroom to grab her mobile. It was Rosé calling, with a slight smile, Lisa answered the call, "What's up?"

"Lisa-yah! Are you free?" Rosé chirped with an overly excited voice that made Lisa chuckle. "Not really, but Mrs. Charles is really calm with me these days. I think I can ask her for a half-day off. But why did you asked?" Lisa could feel Rosé's face smiling through the call as she said, "I'm going out with Jimin and his friends tonight. Do you wanna join us?" Jimin and his friends? Doesn't that includes Jungkook and Areum too?
