SENDING LOVES TO THE NEW UPVOTERS: turkish_ixora jjcf08 bearberry THANKS FOR THE NEW SUBSCIBERS.   I know its been 4 months since my last update, I'm so sorry.   _____________________________________________________________________________ A bright and sunny 9 o'clock in the morning in the not so busy road of seoul with people that is not in the rush but are more likely enjoying the weather and engrossed in admiring the view that they just passed by unnoticed in the usual weekdays. It is a national holiday, so it is non working holiday to the citizens but not all because there are still jobs that are exempted by holidays.    Since its a long weekend for everyone, specially the students, Tiffany decided to hit the gym for today. Its been a while since she last step into that place, she usually just go and do some stretchings, yoga and home workouts because of her busy college life. Walking to her destination for a couple of blocks away from her residence since it can be considered as her warm up, wearing her gym attire added by a jacket, her bag with water and towel in it.   Tiffany smiled happily as she felt the warm sunlight in her skin, its been a while since this weather happened here and she really can feel a summer vibe and get so excited to pour buckets of sweat in the gym.   Skipping her way to the entrance and about to go in when she heard her name being called.   "Tiffany?"    Looking back to the owner of the voice and immediately smile upon identifying who it was.   "Hyuk Jun Oppa!" Tiffany greeted the guy with a hug.   "I didn't know that you're working out here. The last time we talked was at the ball remember? not to mention that the queen looked so dashing in that ball gown" The guy playfully winked at Tiffany.   "Stop it" She hit his arm "I've been waiting for your call but it seems like you're really busy and all" She pouted to show her disappointment to the guy.   "Aigoo, I'm sorry, don't ever think that i am neglecting you. I promise to call you anytime soon okay? So you better clear your schedule" The guy said to Tiffany, feeling guilty for not meeting up with the girl.   They ended up their talk because the guy needs to finish some errands. Tiffany then went inside the gym with a happy face and started working out.   _________________________________________________________________________________________________________   During this suppossed to be all day sleep for the lazy guy, Jesse is sadly at the University to arranged their basketball uniform to prepare it for their upcoming league. Being the team captain he needs to force his body away from his comfortable bed and be a responsible one. He usually pushes this kind of technicalities to his best friend Sooyoung but the guy have a big feast to attend to, he can't beat food in his priority, like never.   Getting out of the design room feeling satisfied with the details of their new uniform, he heads to the university exit while staring at the design with a contented smile, planning to let Tiffany see it when he got home.    "Mr. Captainball~" Someone called Jesse which he shift his attention into.   "Oh, hey" He greeted the approaching girl Hara.   "Hi, ready for the upcoming game? We'll do our best to cheer you guys." Hara said as she tries to touch Jesse's arm but got a response of Jesse taking a step back from her.   Hara faked a laugh, not wanting to make her displeasure be evident. "Oh well, I'll see you around Jesse"   Jesse just looked at her blankly and ready to flee from the girl's sight but the girl stood in front of him.   "Oh did I saw Tiffany earlier at the body fitness gym talking with, or more like flirting with a guy? hmm I wonder if he's Tiffany's boyfriend" She acted like wondering purposely making the guy jealous. "I have practice today, I'll see you around MVP" She playfully wink to Jesse and pat Jesse's shoulder before walking out with an evil smirk formed in her lips.   Jesse just sigh to calm his nerves down. Trying to tell himself that 'what you see can betray you' he doesn't want to conclude things, and specially trust other people's words without evidences.   He just shook the idea of Tiffany flirting with other guys and the hell he's mad for feeling like a cheated boyfriend even if he's not the boyfriend in the first place.   With continuous deep breathing to calm himself, he went home and decided to just engrossed himself in basketball rather than spends his time trying to sleep but being ended up making up scenarios in his mind about what Hara said.   The tired and a little bit messy Tiffany just arrived at the Jung residence while wiping her face with her towel. She feels really good after excreting so much of her sweat in the gym and thinking of sparing sometime to go back to the gym even once a week.    Noticing the silent aura of the house while she proceed the kitchen to get a bottle of water in the refrigerator and quench her thirst. Her eyes found a figure outside the window playing basketball under the heat of the sun. Tiffany usually peeks at Jesse playing in their court cause she find him more attractive while playing doing his thing.   Observing how Jesse easily shoot the ball in the basket in every position, from field goal, to the free throw line and to the three pointer adding his fade away shots that made him looked like flying in the air like he has an angel wings with him, doing crossovers like a lightning with his slightly wet hair bounces and flowing like air joined in his movements. Tiffany didn't even notice that she already gulped down the water from the bottle until its last drop because of too engrossed in admiring the sporty man outside.   The girl's dreamy trance was cut out when Jesse tries to pick up the extra ball in the side but then halted to look at Tiffany's direction and smile, added by an innocent wink before going back to the center of the court and continue his practice.   Frozen on her spot, Tiffany doesn't know what to do when he saw him looked straight to where she is. So he is aware of her presence all this time? She's been watching him from this position a couple of times already and she thought that she can't be seen from the outside. She tries to gather her senses and thought of an act, pretending to be cool with it and just come out and talk to the guy will be a good cover and all.   Walking to where Jesse is, Tiffany is reminding herself to be calm and act all natural in front of Jesse.   "Hey, no team practice for today?" Tiffany said as she arrived at the court. "I've been seeing you practice twice like you usually do eh"    "Yeah, been seeing you peeking at my practice sessions often than the usual" Jesse confidentially said as he glance to the standing Tiffany then continue to dribble the ball.   "Y-yah! I was just looking if there's anyone here c-cause the house seems empty?" Tiffany unsurely said as she tries to come up with alibis.   "Really?" Jesse smiled teasingly to Tiffany while he pick the ball up and starts to roll the ball in his finger and approached her. "Well you're very lucky Ms. Hwang cause not everyone can see me practice many times as you did"    Tiffany scoffed at Jesse's remarks. "Huh, you're getting too full of yourself there Mr. Jung"   They focused their eyes on the ball that is still rolling in Jesse's finger. He even shifted it to the other hand.   Snatching the ball from the guy and put it into her side Tiffany looked at Jesse with a teasing look.   "Well since i'm very lucky to see the MVP practice like this and he's very kind. Why don't he teach me how to play the basics?" She asked with her eyebrows moving up and down.   "Why not? Come here Tiff, let's see what you got on hand. Try shooting" He gestured Tiffany to shoot the ball.   Tiffany obeyed and tries shooting from the free throw line but as expected, failed to even hit the rim.   "Not bad, you got the angle and just needs a little more power for it to reach the basket. Try again" He handed Tiffany the ball.   The girl focuses on the basket and breathed deep and then shoot, but then again, failed.   Jesse chuckled that causes a glare from the girl. "What? That's why I want you to teach me, not to be laughed at" She starts to walk away, pissed.   "W-wait! Hey I'm just kidding" Jesse continues to chuckle while grabbing her hand, she tries to break free but Jesse ended up pulling her hand and hug her from behind.   "Don't be mad, you know that I just like seeing your cute annoyed face from time to time, I mean no harm" Jesse gently whispered to Tiffany's ears while tightening his hug with his left strong arm to her slim waist and his right to get the ball near his feet putting up a little soccer move.   The oh so startled Tiffany didn't know what happened, in just a swift move from Jesse she is now on his safe and warm embrace, hearing those gentle soothing words from the guy made her looked down of embarrassment.  She doesn't fail to notice how Jesse have this effect on her, he can manage to change her emotion that fast from being annoyed and angry to the shy blushing girl in an instant.   Jesse's impulsive move didn't just startle tiffany, it
