19 - ☆: tutor offers.

Tomorrow morning, Minji keeps staring at Yerim as soon as she arrives to tease her about yesterday, "You don't want to tell me what happened during your date yesterday?" asked her playfully.

"Nothing happened, Minji." Yerim rolled her eyes jokingly.

"Ayy, are you sure?" continued her while raising her left eyebrow multiple times to tease.

"Well, I'm asked if he knows any Mathematic tuition teacher but suddenly he's offered to teach me himself." Yerim had to tell Minji because she badly wanna know and wouldn't stop asking until Yerim told her something.

"Woah! you guys getting closer, I'll just wait for you guys to confirm dating each other soon."

Replied her cheerfully. 'Gosh, no..' said Yerim in her mind when heard that from Minji. However, Yerim rejected the offer because she'd rather spend her time studying with a tuition teacher rather than with Jay.

Suddenly, Yerim saw Jay was waiting for her outside the classroom and signaled her with his hand to go to him. She quickly got up to see him, 'Why did he meet me here again though? I already gave my phone number to him, he should just text me.' said Yerim in mind with a bit annoyed.

"Yerim, I didn't mean to come here but since you rejected my offer yesterday. Here's, my practice book from last year. You can check how to calculate and if you do not understand something just call me." explains him while passing Yerim the books in his hand. Those 3 books were quite thick, but she was grateful that Jay lent her the books.

"Thank you, Jay, I appreciated this. I'll give this back to you once I'm done revising all of them" Yerim smiled widely, Jay could see her happy face when he gave those books, how happy he was too when he made her feel the same.

"You must really like the books so much that you keep staring at them."

Said Minji while ready to leave the classroom as the school session ended. Of course, Yerim likes it because it's pretty hard to find a practice book that shows the full calculation, usually they just give an answer but not the calculation to get the answer.

"No, I'm just grateful he lends me this."

"Then, did you grateful with the owner of this book too?"

Asked Minji to tease, she referred to Jay, the owner of the book. "Minji, you better stop this stuff." Yerim walked away leaving Minji behind playfully as she couldn't stop teasing Yerim. Minji started chasing her and hugging Yerim's arm, both of them walked together while joking around.

"Do you want to go anywhere today? My mom gave me a free time."

"Eh, how about your brother? Is he fine already?"

"Uhm, he's fine, don't worry."

"Okay then let's go to-"

"Moon Yerim!"

Yerim turned around and saw Jungwon shouting called her name. He comes closer to both of them, and Yerim can't process her mind properly about that. "I want to talk with you," said he firmly while maintaining his cold eyes directly to Yerim's eyes.

"Yerim, I gotta go. I just remembered that my friend wants to meet me."

Minji left Yerim when saw both of them needed time together. She keeps calling Minji not to leave her because she can't trust this man named Jungwon. The moment Yerim wants to leave too, Jungwon pulls her wrist to prevent it.

"Let me go, you don't need to pull my hand," replied Yerim while trying to let it go. "Listen to me first, Moon Yerim," said him. "No, let go of my hand please." Yerim kept trying to let go of Jungwon's hand from her wrist even though it didn't seem affected him.

"Stop being close with Jay." Yerim stopped herself when heard that from Jungwon.

'Shit, I must be lost of control that I have spoken it out.' said Jungwon in his mind when he realized he messed up his words. Yerim just looked at him in confusion as it was hard for her when she couldn't read what was he thinking right now since it didn't show up above his head like others did in Yerim's view.

"I mean, I'll teach you Mathematic instead of him."

"No, I don't want it. Thank you for the offer by the way."

Yerim forehead got even more frowning when heard that from him, she walked away after saying that as Jungwon didn't hold her wrist anymore.

"You don't want your mathematics to fail badly again in the final exam, right?"

Yerim stops her step, 'How did he know I failed my Mathematic? I never tell it to anyone, even Minji.' thinking Yerim.

"Jay is a final year student, he'll taking a CSAT this year, can't believe you're trying to bother him," added him, he basically trying to gaslight her to accept his request.

"I'm not bothering him!" Yerim denied it as she never brought him to hang out at her invitation.

"Then why'd you guys always be together?"

Now that Yerim thinking about it, what Jungwon said was right. She shouldn't disturb a final-year student like Jay. Yerim can't even answer to Jungwon's question as she loses her words.

"You said you would do anything to me, I want you to agree for me to teach you."

Jungwon whispered to Yerim's ear as he got closer. "Since when I-" Yerim was about to get mad but then she remembered she said that during the day she fainted.

"But that term doesn't work anymore because you're not my friend," replied Yerim refusing.

"I want to be your friend, now at this moment."

Said Jungwon right away, Yerim didn't get it why he desperately wanted to teach her. "No, I'll just find for tuition teacher instead." Yerim tried so hard to reject it but Jungwon kept going for her to accept it.

"Uhm, it's bad cause I'll ask the teacher if I can offer to teach you. He might want you to accept for your own good."

He smirked, as he got a lot of ideas for Yerim accept to him. Yerim clenches her fist when he's threatening her now, but nothing can come out of Yerim's mouth as she loses it when it comes to Jungwon. He knows what he's doing, she is aware that Jungwon wouldn't give up if he wants something.

"Don't forget come to my house today at 4. PM, I'll text you the address."
