A Second Chance

chapter seventeen

"Ji Hyun!" He grabbed my shoulder "what!?" I screamed at him "that flashback—" "you ran after me for something in the past?" I questioned badly "I—" I slapped his hand off my shoulder.

"I heard everything..." I clenched my fist "Hana bough the judges votes..." "yes but—" "either way, we would've lost" I glared at him. "What, your cupcakes are—" I cut him off once again.

"You're the son of the people that started this whole competition. Obviously you couldn't be seen on television losing" Seung Ho flinched. "Don't group me with my parents, Ji Hyun. I'll get them to revote" I scoffed.

"Why because you as well have so many trophies?" I threw shade "stop acting childish, you were just upset about that."

She's making this harder than it has to be!

"I'm going back to my dorm. We're leaving early back tomorrow" I walked away but he grabbed my shoulder "the flashback" "what about it?" "Did that really happen?" I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him.

"Obviously" I snatched my wrist back and walked away.

It was early morning we were waiting for the bus, Ha Joon was holding the second place metal.

"Don't worry about it Ji Hyun. You tried your best!" "And it wasn't enough" I sighed, I noticed Seung Ho and Hana together, she was scrolling through her phone and he stood there bored.

"At least we got second place" he smiled trying to cheer me up "but you're number one in my heart" I blushed softly. Seung Ho gagged when he saw sharing a moment, "come on our ride is here" a black car came.

"Why aren't we going with the others?" "Because they all stink from cheap perfume" she got in her car letting her driver take her luggage's. He went in with his single bag.

A few months went by, and I haven't went in contact with Seung Ho, just seen him around school here and there. And I haven't seen that voodoo ghost.

I groaned looking at my notebook, "what's wrong?" T was self study hour "the semester is ending and exams are coming" I whined "I'll help you" he offered "no, I can't let you. Then you wouldn't be able to focus on your exams."

"It isn't a big deal, I'm always top 5" I scoffed "still" I poked his cheek. "Ji Hyun, the teacher wants to see you in the lounge" a student said "huh?" I looked at my friends confused.

I made my way to the main office. I saw Sung Ho.

Just keep walking, just keep walking.

We were going the same way.

Is he going to the office too!?

Look at him, with that smudge look! Trying to act cool!

He looked dumbfounded. He slid open the door and we both walked in, it was Mr. Nim and Ms. Min together, "Seung Ho, Ji Hyun!" Ms. Min smiled "you both called us up here?" Seung Ho questioning picking his ear. I gagged.

"Well I asked a favor from Mr. Min, and he agreed" I looked at Seung Ho confused, and he stuck his tongue at me.

I'm going to kill him!

"What does this have to do with us?" Seung Ho straight up asked "Seung Ho would you tutor Ji Hyun?" My jaw dropped "him!? Tutor me!?" I asked "well, he's the top 1 in exams overall, and he seems to have a lot of free time since he sleeps in my class" Mr. Min smiled.

"It's cause my brains hurts from taking in so much information in a day" Seung Ho yawned. "Besides this girl is dumber than dumb. You have to make up a new word for her just to describe her dumbness" he pointed at me, "that isn't true!"
