Chapter 18

_______________________________________

As they walked out of the alley, Tae-suk asked, "Why were they bullying you anyway, Miss?"

"Do not call me that," she responded.

"Okay, okay," replied Tae-suk.

"I slapped that red-haired guy Girlfriend," she said.

"For what reason?" Tae-suk asked.

"She had been bullying me since the first day I arrived in Korea, and I could not take it anymore, so I slapped her," she explained.

"Very nice, very nice!" Tae-suk commented, "I could say you have little guts."

"What do you mean by little guts?" she asked.

"N-Nothing, I mean, wow, she deserved it," Tae-suk exclaimed while sweating.

She punched him in his arm."I apologize; I did not mean that Sumatra," Tae-suk said.

But she looks him carefully in the eyes, and Tae-suk says, "What now? I swear I did not mean that."

"No, about my name, Y-you are the first one who said it correctly in Korea," she said, looking at him.

"I guess my studies paid off after all," said Tae-suk.

"Hahahah!" she laughed.

Tae-suk looked into her eyes as she laughed. "You look good when you laugh, Sumatra," he said.

She stopped laughing and blushed. "T-Thank you, Tae-suk," she said, looking away.

'Why is my heart beating so fast?' she wondered.

Arriving at Sumatra House.

"Anyway, I never saw you here before, Tae-suk," she said.

"I come here rarely; I live in the center of Seoul," Tae-suk explained.

"Oh, so you are leaving Gangbuk," she said with a sad expression.

"Yes, you could say that, but I am leaving two days later," Tae-suk replied.

"Oh, I see," she replied.

"Anyway, which school do you go to in Sumatra?" Tae-suk asked.

"Southern highschool," she stated.

"That is quite far from here," said Tae-suk.

"Do you have any social media accounts, Sumatra?" asked Tae-suk.

"Oh, yeah."

Tae-suk added Sumatra to his social media account, and while the two were talking, someone opened the door from inside the house.

"Oh Sumatra, you are here, and..., who is this your friend?" said a woman.

"Mom," she said.

"Hello, ma'ma, I am Sumatra's newest friend, Tae-suk," Tae-suk said with a respectful bow.

"Oh, I see. Come inside, Tae-suk dear," her mother said.

Sumatra approaches her mom and whispers, "Mom, we just got to know each other."

And her mother whispered, "Oh, seriously, the way you were smiling at him did not look like that."

"Mom!" she exclaimed.

Tae-suk stood there sweating because he did not understand what they were saying.

"Come inside, Tae-suk, and have some lunch with us," her mother said.

"No, ma'ma—" she grabbed Tae-suk's arm and led him inside.

After 10 minutes of talking, they were sitting at a table for lunch. "I am sorry, Hajun," He thought as He looked at the food.

"Let us begin," her mother said.

"Okay, ma'ma," said Tae-suk.

"Do not call me that, sweetheart; call me Sang-hee," she said.

Tae-suk nodded and began to eat, while Sumatra smiled at him.

Afterward, he was prepared to leave."Come back anytime, sweety," said sang-hee.

"Okay, sang-hee, and bye Sumatra," Tae-suk said as he left.

After he left, sang-hee asked Sumatra, "Why have not you told me about your bullying?"

"Mom, I just do not want to make things difficult for you," Sumatra said.

...

When Tae-suk arrived at the park, he noticed Hajun sitting in a chair. "I am sorry, Hajun, but I have work to do, which is why I am late,"

"No problem, Tae-suk," said Hajun, smoking.

"Let us get started, my student," said Tae-suk.

"When was I your student?" said Hajun.

"Haha, let us start," he said.

30 MINUTES LATER.

Both were fighting each other in BOXING. "Very predictable," Tae-suk said, dodging his punches.

"Balance your poster," Tae-suk stated.

"Why are not you attacking Tae-suk?" inquired Hajun.

"You will lose control if I attack you," Tae-suk said.

"And why is that," Hajun said, punching.

Tae-suk dodged and punched him in the gut, causing him to lose consciousness. "Man, I am really holding back," Tae-suk said, looking at Hajun's consciousness.

"You still have a lot to learn," said Tae-suk.

Tae-suk was impressed with how strong he had become in just two days.

Tae-suk thought, "I am sure Suhyeon will notice this."

After 10 minutes, Hajun awoke and said, "You're..... How did you get this strong?"

"Obviously from training, dude, some hardcore training," Tae-suk stated.

"So, could you please tell me about your training methods?" Hajun asked seriously.

"Okay, give me a paper and a pen," Tae-suk stated.

After a while, Hajun brought these things and Tae-suk began writing them.

And handing it to Hajun, who saw it and began to sweat.

"No shit, fr," Tae-suk replied.

Then they began training.
