"One more story. In my World, an Old Lady and her cat stayed beside my apartment for a month or so. Both of them were equally cranky, and this one time—"

Before Lee Soohyun could continue, Han Minhyun interrupted, "The five minutes are over."

"So soon? I was getting to the best part. Anyway, let me finish this before I start exercising," Soohyun complained.

"Since you are telling me stories so enthusiastically, I am pretty sure you have enough energy to start exercising. Now, get started on it or else you"ll be having your dinner late," Minhyun voiced out.

Lee Soohyun let out an annoyed sigh and said, "Fine. What do I do next then?"

As Lee Soohyun pressed her hand on the floor to stand up, an amused look crossed over Han Minhyun"s eyes, and shaking his head at the humourous girl in front of him, Minhyun stood up as well. His lips curved to a slight smile.

Watching Han Minhyun"s face, Soohyun"s eyes widened, and taken aback, she voiced out, "Heol! Minhyun-ah, is that a real smile on your face? Not a smirk or sneer? Where is my camera when I need it?"

"I am smiling because I have thought of some new sets of punishments for you," Minhyun explained— his smile turning to a smirk.

"The mean Minhyun is back again," Soohyun said after sticking her tongue out at him childishly. 

"Sometimes I really doubt your age," Minhyun said.

"You need to act young to stay young," Soohyun teased before adding a wink.

"If I act like you, I"ll be getting wrinkles early," Soohyun added.

Soohyun had finished was.h.i.+ng up after the training session, and dressed into new sets of clothing, Soohyun dragged her tired legs towards the dining table. Her leg muscles burned with every step she took, and reaching the table, Soohyun immediately spilled herself into the chair.

Looking at the food on the table, Soohyun found her mouth constantly watering, and after that tiresome session, she was extremely hungry. Therefore, Soohyun did not waste a second before digging into the food in front of her.

"What a glutton!" Kim Junghyun commented before starting to eat his meal.

Raising her head, Soohyun said, "You noticed that too late, Junghyun Oppa."

Kim Junghyun choked on his rice, and after coughing, he said, "Yah! I told you to stop calling me Oppa!"

"Why? Is being called Oppa by such a beautiful girl fl.u.s.tering?" Soohyun asked whilst blinking her eyes repeatedly.

Kim Junghyun scoffed and said, "Girls more beautiful than you called me Oppa."

"That means you"re used to being called Oppa, Oppa," Soohyun voiced out whilst wearing a wide smile on her face.

"Just because I am used to being called Oppa, doesn"t mean I fancy it, Dumb Lady!" Kim Junghyun rebuked.

Soohyun shrugged and said, "I don"t fancy being called Dumb Lady either. So, when you stop calling me names, I will stop as well."

Ignoring Kim Junghyun"s glare, Lee Soohyun picked up some side dishes using her chopsticks, and placing the food inside of her mouth, Soohyun cried, "This is so delicious!"

"Yah! Look at me, Dumb Lady! I can call you whatever I want, but you can not!" Kim Junghyun exclaimed.

Staring up, Lee Soohyun wore a smiling expression and said, "It feels so good to see you being desperate for my attention. Since you really want it, I will give it to you."

Soohyun then added, "If you try to bully me though, Oppa, I will be directly complaining to my husband."

Before Kim Junghyun could complain, Minhyun said, "Jiwoo, spare the kid and concentrate on eating. You"ll not be given extra time to finish your dinner."

Lee Soohyun nodded obediently.

"K-Kid!? Kid!? KID!?" Kim Junghyun exclaimed, "Yah! Han Minhyun, who are you calling a kid!? You"re a kid, You Jerk!"

Stifling laughter, Soohyun concentrated on eating her meal. Filling herself completely was Soohyun"s main concern at this moment.

Not paying attention to Kim Junghyun"s words, Minhyun turned towards Soohyun, and using his pair of chopsticks, Minhyun placed the meat on top of Soohyun"s rice.

"Eat more meat," Minhyun said.

Wearing a smile on her face, Soohyun nodded, and picking up the piece of meat Minhyun had given her, Soohyun placed it inside of her mouth. The meat tasted especially good.

"Yah! Han Minhyun, stop ignoring me!"

Dressed in appropriate clothing, Lee Soohyun stood in the backyard of Han Minhyun"s mansion with him beside standing beside her. Various coloured lights illuminated the backyard, and compared to the front of the mansion, it was less creepier.

The cool night breeze blew towards Lee Soohyun, making her shudder at times, and tranquility surrounded the two of them. Stars twinkled on the distant dark sky and the moon peeked out through the clouds. 

As Lee Soohyun was warming up— following the techniques Han Minhyun had taught her— Han Minhyun held a ball in his hand and said, "a.s.suming that your reflexes are the worst, this will be carried out. 

This will be started with the simple game of pa.s.s and catch, which means I will be pa.s.sing the ball to you and you"d have to catch. When you have caught the ball a total of hundred times, this will be over."

This sounded much easier to Lee Soohyun, and wearing a wide smile upon her face, Soohyun nodded. Rolling up the sleeves of her jacket to her elbows, Soohyun stared at Han Minhyun with enthusiastic eyes.

"Go and stand at the white line drawn there. Let"s keep the distance at four metres now, and gradually, this distance will be increased," Minhyun explained, "You have to catch the ball before it touches the ground, and only then, will it be counted."

Lee Soohyun nodded and said, "Minhyun-ssi, I won"t be disappointing you."

Saying that, Lee Soohyun ran towards the white line and shouted, "I am ready!"

Lee Soohyun"s eyes sharpened and followed after the ball in Han Minhyun"s hand. Soohyun played such games with the kids in the orphanage at times.

As Han Minhyun directed the ball towards her, Lee Soohyun raised her hand slightly and caught the ball with no difficulty. A wide smile formed on her face.

"One down and ninety nine more to go."
