22 Close To You

Yumi couldn't contain her smile when she arrives in her bedroom!

She finally made him agree!

Actually, she has another reason why she wants him to be her tutor, it is because she wants to be close to him!

She wants to be close to him because she wants him to fall for her!

He thought that I have already forgotten when he said I am not pretty?

No way!

She never forgets that!

This is her way of making him pay for provoking her!

Make him fall and then dump him!

But before she will do it, she has to pass her third and fourth quarter exams and move up to the senior high first!

The next day, Yumi waited for Jin at the garage to confirm the start of the tutorial before she goes to school.

"Hey, Jin!" Yumi approached Jin who is heading to the gate.

Jin looked at Yumi,

"Don't forget about the tutorial after school, alright?" Yumi said.

"Of course, Young Miss," Jin replied.

National Comprehensive School,

"Hey, Marguax, Happy birthday!" All of Margaux's classmates greeted her as soon as she entered the classroom.

Margaux couldn't help but smile, " Thank you, " She said.

Just then, Jin entered the classroom.

Margaux's smile widened when she saw Jin, she waited for him to take his seat before she approaches him.

"Hey!" Margaux greeted Jin.

Jin looked up to Margaux, " Hey," He replied.

"Uhm, are you free tonight, Jin?" Margaux asked.

"Why?" Jin asked.

"Uhm, " Margaux pressed her lips, she seems like she's having second thoughts.

"Today..." Margaux bit her lip, she took a deep breath before she continued, "Today is my birthday,"

"Oh! Happy birthday!" Jin greeted Margaux.

" T-Thank you, " Margaux replied.

"I'd like to invite you to my dinner party if... You have time, " She said.

"Oh, " Jin looked up to Margaux, " I'm sorry but, I couldn't make it to your dinner party,"

"Oh!" Margaux blurted out in disappointment.

"Why?" She couldn't help but ask.

Jin smiled, "I have an appointment tonight," He replied.

"Ahh," Margaux said in a faint voice as she nodded her head.

"It must be very important," Margaux commented, she is hoping that Jin can tell her more about his tonight's appointment.

"Yes, it is very important," Jin replied.

"I see," She said with her dropped shoulders.

She did not expect that Jin would refuse her invitation, 'What could be his appointment tonight?'

'Maybe he is going to pay a visit to his girlfriend?'

'Oh! No, no, no!' Margaux blinks her eyes a few times, 'Jin doesn't have a girlfriend for sure!' She said to her self. But still, the disappointment that she felt inside did not fade!

Margaux got up from her seat and went back to her seat.

After dinner, Yumi waited for Jin outside the servant's quarter, she leaned on the wall with the books on her hands.

After a while, Yumi heard the sound of the door opening, she instantly straightened her body and waited for Jin to come out, but to her disappointment, it wasn't Jin, but the other female servant.

"Y-Young miss!" The female servant was startled to see Yumi outside the servant's quarter!

"Oh, I thought you were Jin," Yumi said in disappointment.

The servant was stunned for a second, "Y-You're looking for Jin?" She asked in disbelief.

"Yes," Yumi replied, "Is he inside?" She asked.

"Y-Yes, Young Miss, Jin is inside!"

" I'll just call him," The servant hurriedly gets back inside to call Jin who is tidying up the table.

"Jin! Jin!" The servant called while panting!

"Hey! What's going on with you?" Adelfa asked confusedly.

The servant took a breath before she spoke, " T-The... T-The... Rude... I mean, The Young Miss is waiting for you outside!" The servant finally said.

Adelfa furrowed her brows as she throws her son a meaningful look, "Son, what did you do to the Young Miss?" she asked.

Why would the Young Miss look for her son?

"Nothing Mom, she just asked me to be her tutor," Jin replied.

Adelfa heaved a sigh of relief, "Oh, I thought something bad happened," She mumbled.

"Did you agree to be her tutor?" She asked after a while.

"Ennn..." Jin nodded his head.

"Why?" Adelfa asked again.

"You should have just refused, You know the Young Miss' attitude," She said.

Jin can see the worries in his mother's eyes.

"I can't refuse mom," He said.

"We have gratitude to her father for taking us in, this is my way of repaying them," Jin added.

"Don't worry mom, the Young Miss can't do anything bad to me," Jin assured.

Adelfa just looked at her son worriedly.

"I have to go before the tiger lost its patience," Jin said and then he left.

Yumi turned her head to the door when she heard the opening sound again.

"I'm sorry if I have kept you waiting, Young Miss," Jin apologized as soon as he saw Yumi.

"I don't accept an apology!" Yumi said sternly. She hates it whenever someone keeps her waiting!

"Then... Should we cancel our tutorial for tonight?" Jin seems like threatening Yumi which instantly changed her mood!

"Ah, N-No!" Yumi hurriedly replied. But she wanted to scold Jin deep inside her!

'Such a monster!'

'He even uses my favor to threaten me?!' Yumi can't help but complain inside.

"The Young Miss must know that I also need to help the other servant before I go to you for the tutorial," Jin explained.

"Oh, yes, I know," Yumi said.

"What I meant earlier, was... I accepted your apology," She added as she tried to smile.

"Good!" Jin said, "Now, where will be doing our tutorial?" Jin asked.

"In the study room, where else do you think?" Yumi replied with slight sarcasm.

Jin throws Yumi a warning look,

"Ah," Yumi tried to behave when she saw Jin's look, "Ehem!" She pretended to clear her throat.

"I mean... Let's go to the study room!" She said.

"Alright, let's go," Jin said and he let Yumi lead the way.
