Days had passed and Rune was getting better at Korean. He became really popular due to his good looks and began hanging out with seniors often. Kwan for some reason was mad about this. He wanted to hang out with Rune but he shrugged the thought and went to class.

They met up again on Saturday. Kwan took Rune to the nearby park to show him the surroundings for better understanding. All the students were actually really surprised at this as Kwan was the last person to take an interest in others’ learning. But as Rune's teacher, he knew that the learning process is way faster when he sees stuff visually.

"Did you know? Last year the upperclassmen apparently saw Kwan covered in blood and laughing hysterically" Wooseok said.

"Yeah, I know that. He looked really scary according to them. That's why no one talks to him" JIhyo said.

"Be careful with him. I've heard rumors that he blackmailed the teachers to let him go to jinhae university despite his horrible scores in high school", Wooseok said

"Guys ,I don't think he is that bad. He could've been a thug but he doesn't seem like one now", Rune said feeling bad for Kwan.

Rune looked at his watch and said, "Guys its time for class, I'm going, bye".

He went to the park where Kwan had asked him to come.

"Hey I'm her. Sorry for the delay, I was caught up with school work" Rune said giving a horrible excuse.

"I saw you with your new friends", Kwan said emphasizing the friends.

"Sorry haha", Rune said.

During their session, as Kwan explained certain words for Rune, pointing at the tree. He abruptly stopped and brought his arm close to Rune's face. Rune's first thought was that he was going get beat up by this thug. He was ready to get a slap for all the mistakes he had done.

A speeding ball hit Kwan's had and bounced on the ground. Everything happened so quickly that Rune could not process it. Rune’s heart was beating so fast and he closed his eyes. He stopped the ball from hitting my face, Rune thought. Instantly Rune felt bad of what he thought of Kwan. When he opened his eyes, Kwan was standing right above him and his torso was right in front of Rune’s face. wow.

Kwan kicked the ball towards the building away from the park toward the buildings The kids who kicked the ball ran to the building winning about what Kwan did.

“Kids, don’t you have to be careful playing in the public! little brats”, he cursed at them as he sat down.

“Hey, they are just kids. Don’t scold them”. Rune finally came to his senses after Kwan sat down.

Kwan noticed how Rune looked at that moment vividly. He saw the fear in Rune’s eyes when he reached out to block the ball. Even though it was momentary, he knew that those bastards told him everything. Kwan was not aware of why he was feeling this way all of a sudden. He was more confused than before as to why he was feeling things he had never felt before

He wanted to feel the Rune’s breadth on his torso again. Later both walked to school together awkwardly. Their hearts raced but neither could tell why. How will they know? They had no idea about love. They were never interested in any of this. Kwan went to his dorm googled why is my heart beating so fast? so many results popped up- love, disease, conditions blah blah. He was confused but kept thinking about the same thing over and over again- Rune. Fuck. why do I keep thinking about that bastard?

The next day Rune went to enroll in some clubs. From middle school, he had played tennis at school. He went to the club room opened the door. Kwan!? Why is he here?!.

"You must be Rune! come in" the senior indicated that he better enter and give his name or he is dead.

"Yes thank you senior" he awkwardly said and sat next to Kwan.

This year there weren’t many freshmen who joined the tennis club so the senior took advantage and wrote his name. Of course, in Korea, if a senior says something the juniors must obey.

Oh, why does it always have to be him?
