He pulled her in his arms, hugging her so tight that she felt it difficult to breath.
“I was so worried and I thought something bad happened to you”he said and another drop of tears left his eye, unknowingly.
________
He was expecting to get a reply from her, instead he began hearing sounds of sobs.
He broke the hug and cupped her cheeks, and for real she was crying.
Beom-seok sighed before wiping her tears with his thumb but it kept pouring in handfuls.
“Hey,I thought strong girl’s don’t cry? Why are you crying? Is over now okay?”He said with a smile.
Aerum nodded and before beom-seok could say any other thing, aerum hugged him back.
His eyes widened for a moment, and he smiled before wrapping his hands round her.
He took a hand to her hair,then began stroking it slowly.
“Thanks beom-seok!”Aerum said and beom-seok smiled.
“Is nothing actually”He shrugged.

“Aerum!!!”Her two friends squealed rushing towards her.
“Did you cry? Tell us what that stupid teacher did”A-Yeong gritted, noticing her red eye.
“Awwwwwwn,am sure your super hero came on time”Yu-Jun gushed, covering her mouth with her palms.
“Gosh!! Just stop it already”Aerum said with a flushed cheek while bitting her bottom lips.
Beom-seok just stood with a smile,his two hands tucked in his pocket.
“Okay girls,let me drop you off. What do you think?”He asked with a smile.
“Ne!! Ne!!”A-Yeong and Yu-Jun replied and rushed towards the car.
Aerum smiled widely, before going too with beom-seok following from the back.
They’ll entered in the car and beom-seok drove off.

“Do you seriously have to go through the stress of getting a cookie for me?”Hyun-Woo asked and she smiled.

“I’m… I’m here,to tutor you on mathematics and not this”he said slowly,still holding unto her hand.
“Yeah! That’s right”She said and sat down slowly, thou she was a bit sad.

“I don’t like this mood,cheer up okay? You barely knows me and you’re this sad cos I…”
“Hey,shut up. You think am crushing on you?”Yu-Ri rolled eye and Hyun-Woo chuckled.
“Then prove to me you’re not crushing”He said and Yu-Ri nodded her head while folding her hands under her B??@š?.
Hyun-Woo stood up,then pulled out a table before sitting down on the floor,he waved at Yu-Ri to come sit,which she did with an eye roll.
Hyun-Woo then brought out a textbook,then opened it widely.
“We’re going to take things slow, there’s no way we’re going to jump without starting from the very first thing. We are starting from the scratch”He said and Yu-Ri nodded again.
“First we’re going with numbers”he said and Yu-Ri gasped.
“By numbers you mean counting?”she asked with a wide eye and Hyun-Woo laughed.
“Of course not”he replied and began explaining what he meant.
After he was done, he began showing her an example.

<A RESTAURANT>
A-Yeong could be seen, sitting in the restaurant…while looking at her wrist watch occasionally.
She’s dressed in a pinkie flawless gown which exposed her back.
The gown helped in bringing out her curves,cos it hugged her slim body perfectly.
She took the glass of juice on the table,then took a slow sip from it with her eyes fixed at the door.
She exhaled and tried looking away but the entrance of someone through the door,got her eyes fixed at the door and unmoved.
The reflection of the sun Ray’s which was hitting the person’s face added to his radiating and brightly face as he walked in a slow motion to the table.
No doubt,the guy is hot… freaking S£x, handsome and breathtaking,all at a time.
His face finally came to view and A-Yeong dropped the glass cup on the table.
She found herself standing up immediately.
“Did I keep you waiting?”Ji-hoon asked with a smile, immediately he approached her.
“No,No you didn’t”She replied nervously and ji-hoon flashed her a charming smile.
Her heart flew into her stomach and her heart began pounding loudly.
“Sorry for coming late thou”Ji-hoon apologized again and pulled out a chair for her.
She sat down slowly and ji-hoon finally sat down too.
A waiter approached them immediately.
“Hoeddeok and grilled meat”A-Yeong said.
“Same here,am taking wh@??ver she takes”ji-hoon said with a smile too.
“In a jiffy”The waiter said and bowed shortly, before leaving to get their order.
“You..you look good”A-Yeong breathed heavily and ji-hoon sent another charming smile her way.
“You’re not bad either. You look gorgeous”He complimented and A-Yeong smiled nervously.
“What’s happening? Why am I suddenly feeling nervous? Oh God”She screamed inwardly, while blowing air with her mouth.
“Enjoy”The waiter bowed again after placing their order on the table.
“Oh thanks”Ji-hoon smiled.
“Let’s dig in then”ji-hoon said and A-Yeong nodded before taking the cutlery.

He typed but shook his head before wiping it off.
✉️”I was thinking…”
“No no!!”He wiped it off too.

<A SHOP>
It’s a big shop,one of the biggest shops in Seoul Korea.
It is not owned by one person.You’ll get wh@??ver you need in the shop.
There’s the section where ice cream is sold,appetizers,deserts,games is played.
Just name it.
Everything fun, anything fun is happening in there.
It is a busy shop indeed,with multiples of people, trooping in and out of the shop.
“Two tornado potatoes please”Beom-seok requested.
“Here”the lady handed it to him,he gave aerum one and took the other.
“Mmmmm!! This tastes great”Aerum nodded as they continued walking.
“I know right!!”Beom-seok nodded,with his left hand tucked in his pocket.
“Huhhh?? Look over there”Aerum screamed while tapping beom-seok on the shoulder.
“What?”beom-seok asked turning to her.
“Ice cream”She pouted and beom-seok smiled.
“You’ve been taking alot of things in there today. Your stomach is my concern”he said and Aerum smiled.
“Let’s go get it and forget about my stomach”She said and began pulling him to the ice cream section.
“Sir,two cons of ice cream please”Aerum requested and the man nodded.
“Chocolate? Strawberry? Banana? Vanilla? Peanut? Pineapple?..”
“Uhmmm… which one do you want?”Aerum whispered and beom-seok smiled.
“I want banana”He whispered back.
“Sir banana. Two cons please”Aerum said and the man handed it to them.
They paid,and continued walking while chatting happily.
Their eyes locked occasionally and they flashed each other a smile.
They finally found an empty seat in the busy shop and sat down.
Beom-seok took hold of Aerum’s hand,and began caressing her knuckles softly.
“What..what are you doing?”Aerum whispered, trying to release her hand but beom-seok held it tighter.
“Forget that I accepted to go out on a date with you am still gonna break…”
“Wow!! Is it a date? I don’t really know. Thank God you said it”beom-seok said and kissed her knuckles.
“Am ki||ing you if you do that again”Aerum said,still struggling to release her hand from his grip.
“You just said we went out on a date,so be romantic please, we’re not in a boxing competition or field”Beom-seok whispered,still holding unto her hand.
“You little punk”aerum gritted and beom-seok smiled, before placing his head on her shoulder.
“Beom-seok!!!”Aerum whispered.
“Mmmm!! It’s feels so nice here”he said with a closed eyes, shifting closer to her.
Aerum looked at him,his eyes was tightly closed and his lips pouted a bit.
His handsome face, shinning brightly.
A smile curved on her lips as she kept staring at his face.
“Am I that handsome?”he asked opening an eye.
“Stop being so full of yourself”Aerum rolled eye and looked away.
Beom-seok chuckled and closed back his eyes.
“Huh? Teddy bear?”Aerum squinted her brow.
“Beom-seok,look over there… let’s go get one”she said shaking him.
“What’s that?”Beom-seok pouted.
“Stop pouting your lips”Aerum rolled eye and beom-seok began smiling.
“Don’t tell me you’re having the urge to kiss it. I promise I won’t hesitate to reciprocate so you’re free to do it huh?”He said while smiling.
Aerum twitched her lips, before rolling her eye.
“Pervert!!”She scoffed and stood up
“Let’s get it”she said and began pulling him to the teddy shop.
They bought one,pink and white in color.
Aerum hugged the bear tightly, while closing her eye’s.
“You love teddy bear too?”Beom-seok asked, noticing how she kept smiling while clunching unto the bear.
“So much”She squealed and beom-seok muttered an “oh”
It just reminded him of Ara,she loves teddy bear so much that he ended up loving a teddy bear too cos of her.
“You okay?”Aerum asked, noticing his mood swing.
“Of course”He replied,but then his eyes caught something and an idea suddenly popped into his head.
“Look over there”beom-seok said, turning her head to that direction.
“What’s that?”
“A whip”he whispered and aerum gasped, noticing the bundle of whips.
“Are they selling it?”Aerum asked and beom-seok nodded.
“Why showing them to me?”She asked.
“Wanna have more fun?”he asked sillily and Aerum nodded slowly with a smile.
It’s obvious beom-seok is upto something and she can’t wait to find out about it.
Why on earth will he buy a whip if he’s not upto something fun?
She can’t wait to find out about it,having fun to the fullest is the best.
She clicked her tongue, while smiling.
They bought the whip and began going out of the shop,when they bumped into someone.
The teddy bear aerum was holding fell and the drink the person was holding too fell but it fell on top of the bear and the whole content poured on it.
It’s an orange juice actually,so it spoiled the bear’s color.
“Huh??”Aerum shrieked with wide eye, looking at the bear.
She looked up angrily and her eyes turned bloodshot immediately she saw who the person is.
“Seo-Jun!!”She and beom-seok called at a time.
“Oh.. wait,so you’ve finally succeeded In seducing him? He even went on a date with you”Seo-Jun nodded her head as she spoke.
“You just ruined my bear and instead of apologizing you’re saying nonsense?”Aerum asked slowly and Seo-Jun laughed.
“Oh my!! Tell me why I should apologize. You went on a date with my fiance and you want me to apologize? I am the one that needs an apology slvt!!”She half yelled.
“Slvt? How dare you call me slvt?”Aerum asked, folding her fist tightly.
“You think I don’t know? Oh no. Mommy,she thinks I don’t know”Seo-Jun laughed.
“What the hell are you saying huh?”
“That you throwed yourself cheaply to the teacher! You think I don’t know that you had s£x with him?”
“Enough Seo-Jun!! E…nough”beom-seok gritted and Seo-Jun began laughing.
“You’re still defending her after finding out she’s nothing but a slut?”
“A slut who does nothing but f-__-k around?”
She was still talking when beom-seok brought out the whip,he handed it to aerum who took it obviously confused.
“I thought by now that you’ve beaten her black and blue. What are you waiting for? Use the whip on her”beom-seok commanded and aerum smiled.
“Beom… beom-seok,what are you saying?”Seo-Jun stuttered.
“You think we don’t know how you thr_@tened the teacher?”beom-seok asked and Seo-Jun smiled.
“Oh you found out? So what are you going to do huh? The deal has already been done”she clicked her tongue.
“Well sorry to burst you bubble,the teacher is currently admitted cos he was beating blue black. Now is your turn to have a taste of it. Aerum,lash on her. Am with you on this”beom-seok commanded again.
“Aerum I can ex….”She was still talking when aerum raised the whip and it landed mightly on her bare again.
“Arrrrgh!!”She fell on her knees,the pain was excruciating and it stings so much.
“This is for the one You conspired against A-Yeong and planned for her rape”aerum gritted angrily and lashed on her again.
“Aerum mercy….”
