Chapter 20 Memories of the past (9)

"Why do you hide your Face? Su Min asked, because the number of times she has met Jun Pyo, he would always have the hood and mask covering him up.

"I..um... Uh..." Jun Pyo stuttered. he was afraid She'll not want to be with him when she found out who he is.

"It's nothing." He said, and paused for a while before he finally moved closer to her, He removed the mask and the hood so she could see his face clearly.

Su Min was shocked. "How could this be?" "How could someone be so handsome yet so young? She thought to herself.

Looking at her stunned expression, Jun Pyo's face fell. What he feared has finally happened. "She will be scared of me. She'll run away from me." Jun Pyo's heart sank. He immediately turned to leave.

When Su Min saw him move, she realised that she had showed her stunned expression to him and embarrassed him.

"Wait! She called out.

Jun Pyo turned back and he tried not to show any emotion at all. He has always been a master at masking his emotions.

"You didn't tell me your name? Su Min requested curiously. She wondered how he was able to defeat Min Ho and make him apologize and now seeing his face that looks so much like a model's she wanted to know him well. His clothing looked very expensive too, thus she was sure that he was someone important.

Jun Pyo looked intently at her and wondered to himself, "She doesn't recognise me?"

"Please tell me your name." SI Min pleaded again.

Jun Pyo rejoiced at this thought but his joy was short-lived as he remembered that she doesn't know his name yet. "What if she runs when she hears my name?" Should I just tell her a fake name?"

"No...No, I shouldn't do that. She'd hate me if she found out that I lied to her."

After thinking for over a minute, Jun Pyo decided to tell her Honestly.

"Gu Jun Pyo." He Muttered.

"Huh?" Su Min asked perplexed.

"My name is Gu Jun Pyo." He repeated.

"Oh Nice. Su Min stated with a smile.

"Huh, Nice? Jun Pyo thought to himself. "Is she not aware of who Gu Jun Pyo is or she faking it? He tried to look in her eyes to see if she was acting but the sincerity in those eyes almost blinded him.

Then suddenly Su Min seemed to remember something. She looked at him with disbelief. "It is you who saved that time too?"

"Yes it was me." Jun Pyo replied softly, he was holding his heart and was expecting her rejection when she finds out who he is. However Su Min didn't seem to know that he was in any way related to Kings Clique.

"Thank You so much. You are such an important person yet, you have been so good to me. I can't thank you enough. Su Min said with appreciation.

"It's Okay." Jun Pyo replied with a nod.

"Um...Can I call you Jun?" I mean, I'm too lazy to call your full name. Su Min said,surprising Jun Pyo.

"Yeah, it's fine as long as it's you saying it." Jun Pyo said as he sighed in relief.

He has never been so scared of losing something as he did when he saw that look on her face. He thought he had lost her before he could even get a chance with her.

"Okay Jun, I'll see you tomorrow." Su Min flashed him a smile as she left.

"See you tomorrow." Jun Pyo replied as he lovingly stared at her leaving figure. As soon as she has disappeared into the shadows. Jun Pyo jumped happily.

Finally he has found his angel and she has even agreed to be his tutor. What more could he wish for?

The following day Jun Pyo picked Su Min up and he drove her to the place as agreed. They immediately started the tutorial and didn't take a break until late in the evening. Though Jun Pyo had wanted a break between the tutorial but her serious face didn't allow him to laze around. Hence, he gathered all of his concentration and placed it into studying. He wouldn't want to be seen as a completely dull person in front of his angel.

He would do anything to build his image before her, even if he has keep studying.

After the tutorial, Su Min looked around and couldn't get over the beauty of that place. "What is this place called? Su Min asked, amazed that there could be someplace as beautiful as that.

"I didn't think of a name at all since I would only just come here when I am feeling sad or when I feel guilty after doing something wrong then I will come here to attain peace." Jun Pyo explained.

"Oh, is that so? Su Min looked at the place and thought of a name. "How about we call it Mount Swaine?

"Mount Swaine? Jun Pyo repeated, "It's a nice name. let's call it that.

They agreed to call it Mount Swaine and would always study there everyday after school and sometimes during the weekend.

Su Min and Jun Pyo became so close and comfortable with each other. They became good friends and they would joke and tease each other.

After few months of tutoring, Jun Pyo's studies took a turn a for the better, taking everyone by surprise. His parents, His teachers even his friends no one could believe that Jun Pyo could ever be good at any school work.

Seeing him take a sudden U-turn was really surprising and shocking, they all wanted to find out what, why and how he was able to pull it off.

Jun Pyo finally decided to ask Su Min out on a date. After their tutorial that day He took her hand and led her to the lake in Mount Swaine. "Su Min, Please can I take you out?

"Like on a date? Su Min asked seriously surprising Jun Pyo at her bluntness.

"Yes, like a date." Jun Pyo Concurred. "I want to court you Su Min, Can I?

"Okay," Su Min shyly agreed and thus their sweet relationship began.
