Fate Of The Tally [Kim Ga-On - "The King's Affection" FF]

- Chapter 12: (The Handsome Bodyguard)

- Haeun's POV:

A few days later, Bok-dong informs me that Hwi has a new tutor.

'Let me go see who the new tutor is this time...', I think as I make my way to where Hwi is studying.

I look inside, only to see no one.

'Is it over already?', I think as I see Ji-Un walking around.

"Ji-Un?", I ask as he looks at me.

"Your Highness? What are you doing here", He asks with shock.

"I am just trying to see who my brother's new tutor is, but I guess they left already.", I reply.

"Oh, I am his new tutor, Your Highness.", He says as I look at him in shock.

"Really? I never expected that! Is he giving you trouble? He has had many tutors.", I say as Ji-Un grabs my shoulders.

'What is he doing?', I think as I look at him in confusion.

"He is making me transcribed like 100 books for him... And everyone keeps telling me that he is just beginning. What am I supposed to do? What did I do to make him mad?!", He asks as he pouts.

"I don't know. Sounds like he doesn't like you very much to me.", I say as I see him look down in defeat.

"People keep telling me that he is going to try and get me drunk so that I make mistakes.", He says as he lets go of my shoulders.

"Don't you have some herb that can help you with that?", I ask him as his widens his eyes.

"Actually, I do have something like that! Why didn't I think of that? Thank you, Your Highness. I will go get it and finish transcribing the books!", He says as he quickly bows and runs off as I chuckle.

'I hope he finds it, or else Hwi is going to crush him.', I think as I see Hwi come up to me.

"Haeun, would you like to see something funny tonight?", Hwi asks me as I look at him with confusion.

"What is it?", I ask him as he smirks.

"I am going to get rid of my new tutor...", He says as I remember Ji-Un telling me that he is his tutor.

'I have got to see how this unfolds', I think as I nod my head.

"I would love to see!", I say as smile at Hwi, receiving a smile back.

- TIME SKIP:

Now, me and Hwi are sitting at a table, waiting for Ji-Un to come.

Once Ji-Un comes, he notices me and looks at me in shock.

"Sit down.", Hwi says, startling Ji-Un.

'Is he really that scared of Hwi?', I think with a chuckle as I see Hwi smirking.

Hwi then smiles at Ji-Un as Ji-Un intensely stares at her.

He then slowly smiles back.

"It is customary to give soksu to new tutors. But instead, I prepared a light meal with some drinks... I hope that's okay?", Hwi says as she holds up a bottle of drink, making Ji-Un chuckle nervously.
