"This is 4 minutes..."
Is this situation real? I'm getting math tutoring from a fellow high school sophomore, and that too from the unlucky Kang Tae-hyun.
My pride, which had already been scratched, could never accept this class.
I need to get rid of this kid quickly... How can I do that?
at that time,
widely,
" ah..! "
"Can you focus? You've been doodling all this time."
" what..?! "
“I always felt like it was unfair that I lost, but now that I look at it this way, I don’t think I need to feel any resentment.”
" .. her "
“You know the saying, ‘If you persevere, you’ll win every battle, right?”
” … “
"Find out about my study method too. Take this opportunity."
I can't believe I had to hear this from someone who was even lower ranked than me just because of math. It felt like I was experiencing the most humiliation of my life.
In the end, I,
“You get out.”
" what? "
“Get out of my house. Now.”
“ … ”
“I don’t even want to see you, so get out!!”
I screamed. I didn't want to reveal my shattered pride, and I really hated the sight of him. I hated his relentless, reckless attempts to teach me lessons.
This was the first time I'd ever yelled like this, so I thought he might be a little surprised. But Kang Tae-hyun...
“ .. Yeah. I guess so.”
” ..!! “
"I marked your homework in your workbook earlier. Be sure to solve it."
” … “
Kang Tae-hyun just grabbed his bag and left my room. I was dumbfounded. Or should I say, absurd?
I've never met anyone like that in my life. Someone who gets on my nerves so easily, and someone who's so unfazed by my irritation.
Isn't it true that when you see someone like that, you call them a "ddorai"?
That night,
“..How on earth do you get rid of that kid?”
I couldn't come up with any good ideas. What do they usually do in dramas?
at that time,
dripping,
“Hey lady, can I come in?”
" .. yes "
It's that "woman." I can't understand why she's trying to barge into my room again. Why are there so many things stressing me out these days?
“He said, ‘How about having Korean food for tomorrow night’s dinner?’”
"Oh.. please tell him I understand."
When did I ever get to decide what to do?
But that's not what I needed to know.
“But this time he asked me to eat with him~”
" .. yes? "
“I’ll join you for tomorrow night’s appointment too...”
Why is this woman there? It's a one-time family event, a dinner date for the three of us: me, my mom, and my dad. But in that place...
“..why on earth”
“My lady.. I can stop now...”
widely,
“Don’t touch it.”
“Oh..hey lady...”
"You're nothing more than a replacement for our mother. From the day you came into this house until the day you left."
“ … ”
“How dare you… a substitute… something like Dad’s toy…!! Where!!!”
“ … “
at that time,
Suddenly,
“Kim Yeo-ju!! What did you just say?!! Huh?! “
“ ..!! ”
“Uh..honey”
Finally, I got hit again. I got hit so hard that both my calves were on the verge of bursting. I thought that if my results had come out today, I might have died.
I left home. Of course, I didn't run away, but I was out for a short while. My calves were so sore I couldn't walk properly, but I figured it would be better to spend the night here, where there was a little more light, than to sleep in that suffocating house.
I bought some medicine at the convenience store, as usual, and applied it to my calf. The tears wouldn't stop flowing, and I covered my face in case anyone saw me.
at that time,
Tutuk,
“This is driving me crazy...”
It started to rain. I had no choice but to get up and go back inside,
Kwadang,
" ah..!! "
My calves were aching, and it was difficult to even get up. I finally just sat down. I wished I'd gotten drenched in this rain and suffered hypothermia.
at that time,
Swish,
“Do you like getting rained on?”
" .. you "
“Don’t like it. You’ll catch a cold.”
I don't know why he keeps exposing all my flaws and weaknesses. Is he just good at spotting them, or is it just a coincidence?
" .. go away "
" what? "
“Get out.. “
" hmm.. "
“ … ”
Swish,
dump,
“What are you doing...”
“.. If I cry alone, will it be less sad?”
” ..!! “
"I'm just being a bother on purpose. Go ahead and swear at me."
“ … ”
“You know I won’t listen no matter how much you curse at me.”
“ … ”
“I won’t say anything, I’ll just lend you an umbrella.”
“ … ”
“You do what you want.”
” … “
In the end, I cried my eyes out next to the child all night. Perhaps I was embarrassed, but I let out every tear I had, determined not to cry again.
Kang Tae-hyun sat next to me and lent me his umbrella until I fell asleep from crying, and he continued to sit like that until morning.
The next day, I woke up before Kang Tae-hyun and quietly left the place after letting him lean against the chair next to me.
And then I thought of a really good way to get you out.
That day's tutoring time,
“Okay.. here at 10...”
“..Kang Tae-hyun”
“ ? Why don’t you understand?”
“You mean...”
“ ..? ”
“Try to like me.”
After you make me like you, I'll dump you so badly that you'll never want to see me again. After you've made me forget all my weaknesses.
So, from that day on, the project to seduce Kang Tae-hyun began.
