Chapter 31

Flashback continues:
Areum POV:
"Hi!! I am Lee Heesung" the boy said to me while forwarding his hand. "Hi! I am Kim Areum" I said to him and shook my hand with him with a smile. "Why do you look familiar? Do I know you?" I asked him. He chuckled and said "I am in the same classes as you. I am also doing business administration. I sit in the front benches"

"Ohh yeah" I said being embarrassed for not recognising him. He smiled and moved aside to give me place to sit and I sat beside me as Jungkook-ssi sat in front of me. All of us were talking and eating when Heesung asked "Who is this boy?" Before I could say anything Jungkook-ssi replied "I am Jeon Jungkook, her friend and personal bodyguard" while forwarding his hand for a fist bump. "Nice to meet you dude" he said while bumping his fist with Jungkook.

After lunch, we started going to our classes and Heesung tagged us. He put his arm around my shoulder and asked "Are you free this evening? We can hang out". I didn't like his closeness but I didn't want him to be offended so I didn't remove his hand "I would love to but I have to study today, so I won't be able to hangout with you. I am sorry" I replied to him.
"Oh, it's okay. We can hangout some other time" he said and we went to the class.

After the classes, we went back to the mansion. After sometime, there was a knock at the door so I opened the door and saw that it was Jungkook-ssi. "What do you want?" I asked him. "Huh? I told you right. We should study" he said to me while sitting on the chair. I groaned and said "But I just returned from university. Can you come after an hour?" "Nope. You have exams in less than a week so you have to study" he said to me. "Pleaseeee" I said cutely but he shook his head and gestured me to sit on the chair.

I raised my hand playfully as if I was going to hit him and sat beside him. He started asking questions related to the topic learned in the morning and I answered them correctly. "Good, let's do economics now" he said and opened the book to start teaching.

After nearly 90 minutes, I was feeling sleepy so I asked him "Let's take a break" but he shook his head and said "It's not even 2 hours. No break until we complete this topic and you learn it". "I am feeling sleepy, just for 10 minutes" I whined to him. "Drink water" he said while giving me a bottle. I snatched the bottle while saying "You are so cruel". He looked at me a done face and said "Don't be so over-dramatic. I know you won't study if I don't behave this way". "Whatever, let's continue" I said and he resumed teaching again.

After 45 minutes "That's it for today, just revise this topic and don't forget to prepare short notes" he said to me. "Okay, thank you" I said to him. I stared at him as he was still sitting there. "What?" he asked as he noticed that I was staring at him. "You said it's over for today so why are you still here?" I asked him. "I will be here until you revise. What if you close your books after I leave from here" he blamed me. I pouted and started studying while he chuckled at my behaviour.

After nearly one hour, I stretched my body as I was sitting in the same place  and said "It's done" "Good girl" he said while patting my head which only annoyed me. I picked up the ruler which was on the table and hit him a little hard on his hand. "Ahhh" he shouted a little and I laughed at him. He shook his head in disbelief. "Okay, you can take rest now. I will be going now and tomorrow I want you to be awake before I come" he said.

"Or else?" I questioned him. He looked at me and said "Or else I will make you stand for the whole session" he said seriously. I looked at him with my mouth agape and he started laughing "I was just messing with you, I won't do anything like that but be awake before I come" he said and left the room after wishing me a good night.

The next two days went by in the same way. Waking up, studying, going to university, again studying and sleeping. Today, as usual I woke up at 5 am, washed my face and brushed my teeth. As usual he came on time and started teaching me. But today, it was different. I wasn't understanding anything that he was explaining to me.
