Like his dramatic self, Jeno was taken a back by Nari's comment. "You want me to get eaten by a Bear Jung?" "Yeah." Jeno taken a back again. He gave the girl a pout. Giving a her an aegyo. To which the girl cringe at. "You look stupid." She shoves Jeno's face away from herself.

"Seriously, I'm just saying it's bettter to be prepared. I'm doing my job at protecting you. And if I'm not there with you. You can beat someone's ass with out me. And you're telling me that a bear should eat me." He groans. He fixes they way he was seated. Nari didn't respond because all the work she was doing. Don't you just love someone who could multitask. She finishes typing and takes a big sigh. Faces Jeno. Next, she types again.

Jeno getting all annoyed gave her a groan. Thinking to himself that the girl isn't taking him seriously. "Jung, I'm being serious. Do you want me to say in English?" He says. Nari stops typing again. She looks at the boy next to her. "Okay, you don't have to say it in English. I understand what you're saying."

"I don't think you are." He scoffs. Nari turns away from her laptop glares at the boy again looking all coy. "When do I ever take you seriously." She responded back. The boy rolls his eyes. Tired of the girl's antics. "Yah-" "I'm just saying Lee." The girl shrugged.

She's like an annoying kid. Constantly asking and asking.

"Well it's about time you did take me seriously. This whole safety thing is serious. This job, I have to do is serious." His voice was more firm this time. As mentioned he was tired of the girl having doubts towards him. Ever since the were high school. She always doubted or underestimated him.

Somethings never change.

Not this safety bullshit again.

The girl thought. On the bright side, someone other than Sungchan is encouraging to protect herself. It was the least the boy could do. Preparing her just incase he wouldn't be around. She wouldn't be totally helpless. Jeno was giving her a good idea. She had to appreciate that. But her ego doesn't want to.

But she had to at some point

She sighs "You're telling me you want to train me? Like in fighting? Combat? That kind of stuff? " "Yes." Jeno responded with a hint of annoyance in his voice. Still confident with that idea.

"Lee, my dad will kill me if he knew I was doing combat training. That's why you're here. You know how it's convenient for me, it's totally useless. That's what he thinks. And believe me, I've tried. He still doesn't want me to." She rambles and rambles. Jeno says nothing. Looks at her, seeing how her body language seems to be tense.

Well... he doesn't have to know. He thought to himself.

"He doesn't have to know. This could just be between us." He let his thought out to the girl. Nari's eyes widen, thinking of the boy has gone mad. "And what do you mean by that?" Nari asks him. "Like no one has to know. It's simple. I can train you in secret. You don't have to make it a big deal, so it wouldn't be obvious. Easy Jung." The boy said nonchalantly.

"You want me to keep this a secret? Train in secret?" The girl asks and Jeno just nods. This was a big deal for Nari. Going behind her father's back was something she has done before. Like going to parties, sneaking out, or hookups. Things that some reckless teenagers would do.

This, this was different for her. Her father has always been worried about if her getting hurt, or worse. It was also the fact, that Jeno's job was on the line. She felt guilty to put someone in that position.

And out of all people it had to be her enemy that would teach her to protect herself. Her enemy would have to see her in her vulnerable state. Her enemy would see her fail, and would use it as black mail.

Oh god this is a nightmare!

The offer was still on the table. Jeno still glaring her, while Nari wasn't gonna let go of her ego. Weighing in her pros and cons. "Jung, it's not a big deal." "Umm.. yea it is. You're the one who's gonna watch me suffer." The girl said. "Well it was my idea." Jeno smirked. "It's a bad idea." An annoyed Nari said. "No, it's a good idea. You're just scared to admit it." Jeno said with all his pride.

Nari turned to look at him. "Admit what exactly?" She knew what he was trying to do. With this reverse psychology bullshit. Two can play it in that game.

"I think you're to scared to admit it's a bad idea. This shit could actually get you fired. You know, my dad doesn't like it when people double crossing him." Jeno looks at the girl with confusion. "I'm not double crossing him." Jeno said.  "Umm... yeah, you better say good bye to that lab job. You're gonna get fired." Nari responded to the boy. "Oh really?" He raised his eyebrow. Nari nodded in response. "I don't think so, Jung." He laid back. "Yeah it most definitely will."
"Not most certainly." He tattled at her again.

"Yes it will."

"No it won't."

"Yes. It. Will." Nari pointed every word to Jeno. "Like hell it wouldn't ." Jeno still acted like nothing happened. All calm and everything. "If I slice your neck off you would listen to me." Jeno scoffed at the girl's remarked. "Do you actually know how to slice someone's neck? You know I can train you, Jung?" After that Nari took that opportunity to elbowed him at the stomach.

Nari laughed at the boy in pain. "Jesus-" the boy groaned. "You know if you trained with me you could be better." The boy still kept that conversation going.

He's still going?

"Get over it Lee." Nari rolled her eyes at the guy. "Didn't expect you to be a pussy, Jung." The guy mumbles. Nari was taken aback. "What? Say that again." "What? I didn't say anything." Jeno acted all clueless. "You said something Lee." "Fine, I said I didn't expect you to be a pussy." Now this was one of the times this has bruised Nari's ego.

"I'm not a pussy." "You're acting like one right now." The girl scoffed again. "Fine, I'll train with you and let's see who's the pussy." The girl taunted.

"Great" is all what Jeno said to her

"Great."

Jeno's face lights up with victory. "See it wasn't that hard, eh, Jung." Nari having enough of Jeno, glared at him and elbowed him again at the stomach.

"I swear to god Lee."
