앟 Jheri's POV 앟
Nagtataka siguro kayo kung bakit Jheri. Ewan ko nga rin eh. Sabi ni eommeoni, Jheri Kang daw ang ginamit niyang name ko dito sa Pilipinas. So that I should fit in. Pero with Kang as my surname, obvious parin na korean ako. Sanay narin naman ako na Jheri ang tawag saken ng mga chingoo ko..
"Si Jin! Bakit ganyan ang ayos mo? Ngayon na ang dating ng tutor mo!" sigaw ni eommeoni habang bumababa ng staircase in her navy blue royal dress.
"Bakit ba kailangan pang mag-ayos? Whoever that person is, tutor lang siya. At dapat sa umpisa palang, malaman niya kung ano ako." sabi ko and leaned my right elbow on the armrest then checked my fb acc on my cp.
"SiJin-ah! Ano ka ba, your tutor is a respected person on Manila Hankuk Academy. He is a professor and achieved several, and various, awards being a good teacher himself." sabi ni eommeoni at lumapit kay abeoji na kabababa lang at inayos ang tie niya. He? Ibig sabihin, lalaki?
"SiJin, adeura, your tutor will be Gweon Hyeon Bok-ssi. You know about Gweon-gajog, right?" he look at me and I admit it, natakot ako don.
Respetado ang mga Gweon dito sa Manila, lalo na sa Manila Hankuk Academy. Terror daw yung teacher na yon sabi nina Mark at Rafael, mga pilipino kong chingoo.
"You're kidding, right?" sabi ko and smirked. He didn't answer but looked at me with poker face. "Aigoo. I'm in trouble." Nasabi ko nalang at sinapo ng kamay ko ang ulo ko.
"Oh, there you are Gweon-ssi." I raised my head only to saw eommeoni and abeoji bow at a tall man. "Annyeonghaseyo." they both greeted and shaked hands with the man.
"SiJin, anong ginagawa mo dyan? Come here." Eommeoni said at lumapit ako sa kanila. "This is our adeul, Jheri Kang. SiJin, this is Gweon-ssi, your tutor." eommeoni introduced us.
"Don't be too formal. Just call me HyunBok. I'm just 26, by the way." sabi niya with a poker face. Nakakatakot naman siya. Aaminin ko kahit lalaking lalaki ako, may kinatatakutan rin ako, noh.
Tiningnan niya ako."So you're the guy I heared that I'm going to tutor?" I nodded. Tiningnan niya ako from head to toe, then back to my face. Nginitian ko siya pero nanatiling walang ekspresyon yung mukha niya kaya naging frown yung smile ko. "Well then, let's start tomorrow. We'll start at the basics." Lumingon siya kina eommeoni at abeoji and bowed. "Nice to meet you. Mr. & Mrs. Kang."
Eommeoni, abeoji, and I bowed also. "Nice to meet you, too. Let's have dinner. This way." eommeoni led him to the kitchen.
"If I were you, I'd better annoy him and then become clingy after. That's how you can be comfortable with him around." napatingin ako kay abeoji. Surprised and confused.
"How do you say so?" I asked him.
"It was tested and proven by me and your eommeoni. Hyun Bok's father is my English tutor back in high school. I know it's awkward but I did it. Same as your eommeoni. Hyun Bok's mother is your eommeoni's English tutor back when they're in college." he tapped my shoulder. "Do it by yourself this time. We already did. They are respected so you should be careful for possible issues." he smiled. "Let's eat." sabi niya at pumunta na sa kitchen.
Natulala naman ako sa sinabi ni abeoji. Seriously, gusto niyang gawin ko yon dahil lang sa nagawa na nila ni eommeoni? Well, let's give it a try then. 😎
