Chapter 20:

Minyoung's POV:

Jackson's hug was really comforting, though I wish Mark was the one with me right now, I'm still thankful Jackson is here. After a long period of crying I eventually calmed down.

"I'm sorry, it looks like I ruined your shirt" I said as I saw how wet Jackson's shirt was.

"It's okay, are you feeling better now?" He asked, I smiled slightly and nodded.

"I feel a lot better; thank you" I said, he smiled and ruffled my hair "we should head back"

Jackson nodded; we both got up from our sitting position and headed back to school. Although it was really embarrassing, I still need to suck it up. I can't let a bad grade bring me down, I just don't know how my parents will react with it.

"Oppa, you go ahead, I have to get my book from locker" I told Jackson who nodded and headed to his classroom first.

I went to my locker and pulled out 3 textbooks. As soon as I closed my locker, Jia, Suzy and Fei approached me, Min was a little far away but I'm sure she was hanging out with them.

"Look who we have here, the flunky, it must suck having a bad grade?" Fei asked in a really annoying sarcastic voice.

"I see you have your text books with you, you don't need them anymore, with you bad grade" Jia said then Suzy slammed her hand on the books I was holding making me drop them on the floor.

"See you around pabo" Suzy said then they walked off, Min following behind them, she couldn't even look me in the eyes, she kept looking down and avoided eye contact with me at all means.

What just happened? Why am I treated this way? I crouched down and picked up the textbooks that were on the floor.

...

Time to face the moment of truth, I'm pretty sure my parents are already aware of my bad grade. Well 6th isn't that bad right? But still my parents will definitely not be happy about it.

"I'm home" I called out as I entered my house. If you're wondering, I haven't seen Mark today, I don't mind though, we don't need to see each other every day right?

"Minyoung-ah, please come here" I heard my father call from the living room, I felt a huge lump form in my throat making it impossible to swallow.

I slowly headed to the living room and saw both my parents sitting in the sofa and they don't look pleased at all.

"Ne?" I said as I took precaution, father got up from his seat and came in front of me.

"Can you explain the result of your exam?" He asked in a serious tone, he was definitely pissed.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to study" I said truthfully, I then felt a cold slap from across my face. This isn't actually the first time my father slapped me but it was devastated to see him disappointed and upset with me.

"Forgot to study, what kind of excuse is that?" He asked in annoyance

"Calm down, maybe she just got distracted, she does take a lot of extracurricular activities, she has been engaged in fencing recently" My mother defended but it somehow made things worst.

"You're right" Father said "We'll remove all of her extra classes so she could focus on her academics" He announces.

"A-Ani!" I stuttered, I don't want to quit my other classes especially fencing "I like my other classes" I said hoping he wouldn't make me drop out "I promise I'll do better on the next exam"

"Your grade is unforgivable Minyoung-ah" Father stated

"Appa! Jebal!" I begged but I guess it was no use.

"I'm sorry Minyoung-ah, you're dropping out of your extracurricular classes" And with that, I have to say goodbye to my other classes especially fencing.

...

I guess I have to say goodbye to my extra classes, I mean I didn't like most of them but I really like fencing and dance lessons. I like hanging out with Jackson during fencing classes.

I was on my desk studying, like I have anything else better to do, I was deep in my reading when I heard my window open giving me quite a scare.

"Knock Knock" Mark said as he climbed in my room from the window.

"We have a door you know" I said as I turned my attention back to the science book I was reading.

"Yeah but it's more fun this way" He said with a cheeky smile. "And I'm sure your parents won't allow me to come to your room" He has a point.

"Can we talk some other time, I have to study" I told Mark who gave me a questioning look.

"Exams aren't for another 3 weeks" He stated "Don't tell me you're upset about the test results?"

"I'm not, but my parents are" I told him.

"Don't lie, you are upset too, it's not just your parents" He said as he leaned down so he can look me in the eyes.

"Fine, I am" I told him, he smiled and held my wrist in his hand then pulled me up from my seat. "But I am happy for you, you got 1st"

"But I don't care about grades" He stated.

"That's not making me feel better" I told him "Someone who doesn't care about grades got 1st while someone who's grades are everything to her got 6th"

"Why are you so worried about grades?" He asked.

"Because I don't have anything else I'm good at" I told him truthfully "Aside from studying I'm not really good at anything else"

"Come here" He said as he pulled me to the bed, he sat down and made me sat down beside him "Don't say you're not good at anything, aren't you cheerleading captain? Didn't you take dancing and singing classes? What I've been told you're the most talented individual in school and you're the number skateboarder here in Seoul, so don't ever tell me you're not good enough at anything"

"Thanks, that means a lot coming from you" I told Mark who smiled at me.

"No matter what happens, you'll always be my dog" He said, way to kill the mood Mark.

"Aish!" I said as I got up from my seat in annoyance and I thought for once he wouldn't be a jerk. As I was about to leave he grabbed my hand and pulled me back down but this time I was sitting on Mark with my back facing him. He wrapped his arms around me and buried his face in the crook of my neck.

"You should know by now that that's me saying I love you" He said, my heart went on overdrive and my face started to heat up, did he just say he loves me? I think I'm going insane. Why would he say that? I mean isn't he moving a little too fast for this? I mean love? Aigoo!

"I-I-It's g-getting late, I think y-you should go home" I stuttered, I honestly don't know how to reply to what Mark said. I mean I don't even know if I like him that way, I know I like him but love? It's a strong word, how can he say it so easily?
