Chapter 2: Royal Pain

I made my way towards the library after school and sat down with my math book. I opened the book to the page full of questions. I began to answer some questions when I felt a presence watching me. I looked up but no one was looking my way. I started to feel uneasy. Whatever just continuing doing the questions I thought. I kept doing the questions until someone sat in front of me. I looked up from my book and saw Kim taehyung. I rolled my eyes at him and looked away.

"Can I help you?" I said.

"I heard that you're really smart and I was wondering if you could tutor me" he said Calmly.

I looked at him confused. Didn't he literally just transfer today? And if he got into the school then it's probably not for the smarts if he's asking me to tutor him already. More importantly, why does he need me to do it.

"Why do you want me to help you? There are plenty of other smart people here." I said a little too rudely. He put on a poker face and looked around room and then back at me.

" I'm guessing you came here through the arts right." I said motioning towards a group of students from the arts playing around.

"Yeah, I got accepted for vocals" he said shrugging his shoulders. Huh who knew this pabo could sing. Realizing that I wasn't going to get any work done I decided to pack up everything.

"Look Mr.Kim, just like you I have to keep my average very high. I can't help you, I'm sorry" I said starting to get up and leave. I felt a hand grab my wrist making me turn around.

"Please, I don't really know that many people here" he said lool hopeless. I realized he was still holding my wrist and awkwardly let go.

"No sorry." I said trying to walk about but grabbed my wrist once again. He got on his knees and tugged on the sleeve of my blazer.

"Ya Kim taehyung what are you doing." I said with my eyes widened. Everyone eyes where on us.

"Choi Mina please tutor me." he yelled.

"Yeah shut up you're causing a scene." I said nervously trying to pull my arm away.

"Not until you agree." he said.

"Ya choi Mina accept already and leave" said an annoying girl named Jeongyeon.

"Ugh fine." I said finally pulling my arms from his grasp.

"Thank you." he said now getting up and brushing the dust off his uniform. I quickly took this time to escape. I rushed over to my car that was now waiting for me.

" Mina wait." said Tae running towards me.

"Ya pabo stop following me." I said now getting annoyed.

"You dropped this." he said giving me my phone. I signed, ugh I shouldn't have yelled at him.

"Trying to be Cinderella now are we." he said giving me his box smile.

"Bye Kim Taehyung." I said annoyed. I take back what I said, he does deserve to get yelled at.

"Is something wrong mistress Mina" said my driver. I turned around and quickly walked away from Taehyung.

"Nothings wrong." I said nervously. If my driver sees me with him, he may tell me parents and I can't let that happen.

I arrived home in a few minutes and made my way to my room settled my stuff and made my back down having dinner with my family.
I sat down next to my brother and waited for the maids to give us our meals. I awkwardly look at the table without saying a word. There was a strange atmosphere in the air, I wonder what's wrong.

" Mina I see your report card came in today." Said my appa. I stood frozen looking at my father. I could see him shooting daggers at my face. My eomma looked away from my appa and gave me a sympathetic smile.

"Oh really, I was wondering when those would come in." I said swallowing the lump in my throat. He reached inside his blazers pocket and took out the report. He began to open it and stared at with a blank face. I, up till this point in my life still haven't figured out how to tell if my appa was pleased or angry.

"Mina you went from 3rd to 5th...." he seemed to be calm but why...-" why have you been so distracted! I have given you the best life and you repay me with this?!" he said disgusted at me while throwing the envelope on table landing in the kimchi.

"I'm sorry oppa I will do better." I said looking down.

"Oh you're not just going to do better, you're going to do amazing get at least 2nd!" he said with harsh words. I bit down on my lip to prevent me from crying.

"We'll just have to get you a tutor, perhaps one of Mr. parks son's." said my dad in deep thought. No no no it can't be one of Mr. Parks sons, they are smelly, annoying, and they always just stare at me. It can't be them...come on Mina think of a tutor that can help you...anyone...maybe Taehyung? He's my only option at the moment. I'll use him as an excuse.

"I uh actually appa I have a tutor in mind. He just transferred to my school and I heard he's got 2nd " I said nervously, yeah right he's ranked 2nd in annoyance.

"And what's this boy's name?" He said glaring at me as if he didn't like the idea of having a boy tutor that he does not know of.

"K-Kim Taehyung" I stuttered.

"Hmm well I guess that's alright...I would have heard the name but it doesn't ring a bell." He said standing up from the table and leaving.

"Mina you can't be distracted and must study everyday. You don't want to see this side of your father do you?" She said frowning a bit.
" yes eomma...mianhe" I said looking down at my laps as my little brother squeezed my knee.

~~~~~~~~~~

After having the most horrible dinner, I made my way to my room and began to study since I was rudely interrupted by Taehyung earlier at the library. Why does he seem to be on my mind already.

*BING* I heard my phone go off giving my a mini heart attack. Gosh I hate when that happens. I reached over to my phone from my bag. It's probably seol Hyun telling about the latest gossip buzzing around school. I unlocked my phone and saw a strange number had texted me. I opened text and read it.

****: Hey Mina, since we're going to seeing a lot of each other I thought I'd get your number.

This can be no other than Kim taehyung. At this moment I realized my life was not going to be the same.

Mina: Kim Taehyung, how is that you still seem to annoy me.

Taehyung: This is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship.

I scoffed as I read the text, am I talking to guy or a girl?

Mina: Mhmm bye.
