Merry Christmas Guys! I love you <3 It has been three days since Kyungsoo started his training. He had been taking it too seriously that his mate is worried that his health might get compromised. Key however, is enjoying every session he has with Kyungsoo. They are moving very fast and Kyungsoo is learning everything like a sponge. They will be done in no time. Key smiled as Kyungsoo perfected walking properly with the correct posture. “Very good Your Grace!” Key praised and clapped. Kyungsoo beamed with the praise. Although his feet already hurt and his legs are already about to give up it was worth it. He would not dare say any complain. He needs to endure to be the perfect bride for Jongin. He was about to continue practicing one last time when the door creaked open. Kyungsoo looked and smiled at the sight of his mate. He walked towards him and gave him a chaste kiss. He is so excited to share what he had learned today. “How are you feeling?” Jongin inquired, he wants to make sure that his mate is not being tired from the training. One single complain from his mate and he’ll stop his training. His mate’s condition is his top priority. “I’m feeling good I learned a lot today.” Kyungsoo answered his mate not showing any sign of discomfort. While the two are engaged in a conversation, Key’s phone rang. “Yobeoseyo?” “Hey Key, do you have a moment today? I need to speak with you.” The caller asked. Key’s eyes narrowed at the caller’s request. And he has a feeling that he will not like whatever they are going to talk about. ***** “What is it that you want?” Key grumbled. Not even bothering with pleasantries as soon as he entered the restaurant. “Still straight forward as ever. Well, the president asked me for a favor and I just want to inform you that I’ll be the bride’s tutor going forward.” “I requested for Boa not you Krystal.” Key seethed. He knew that Krystal must have pulled some strings to do so. He knew she will do anything to get close to Jongin. She’s a cunning . “Well, Boa sunbae-nim has a lot of work to do. So she allowed me to teach Kim family’s bride. And besides, I am the second best lawyer after Boa sunbae-nim. I am even overqualified to teach him. And come to think of it, if the bride needs a tutor that means he or she is slow in the brains or must be stupid. I’m just right for the job I’ll make sure that he will learn everything.” Krystal smirked. “This is not a playground Krystal. You are going to be training His Grace. This is not you teaching some elementary school children how to read. I know for sure that you have ulterior motives, so don’t try to do anything to His Grace. Because if anything… before Jongin can even punish you, I’ll make sure that your body is already into pieces floating on the pacific ocean.” With that, Key stood up and left Krystal scowling. “Your Grace, huh? Soon enough that tramp would not be called as such. I will be sure of it.” Krystal hissed to no one. Jung Krystal is one of the best lawyers around the world. She was even called the “child prodigy” and the next Boa. Jessica Jung is her sister but unlike her sister, Krystal is obsessed with power. She has the ultimate goal of marrying the Heir- Kim Jongin. She thinks her sister is stupid for just marrying a Lieutenant-General. Why would she settle for anything less when she deserves the best? She is the only one capable to be standing beside Kim Jongin. But then, a tramp came and stole that position from her. And since then another goal was added to her list and that is to remove whoever that tramp is from Jongin’s life. She snapped out of her thoughts when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She smiled when she saw Kim Yuri. “Yuri-unnie. You look dashing as ever.” Krystal greeted and kissed her cheek. Yuri laughed at that compliment. “You always flatter me Krystal, but thank you. You look great as well.” Yuri said, returning the compliment. “So… how was your meeting with Kibum?” Yuri asked. “Not good. It seems like he took a liking with that tramp.” Krystal scowled remembering her conversation with Key. “Do not worry about Kibum. He has no say in this. I will help you be the bride of our family. I am always rooting for you.” Yuri promised. “Thank you Yuri-unnie for helping me become the tutor. It must have been a hassle.” “It’s nothing. As long as you do your part we are even. I will not let some trash tarnish our family status especially Jongin’s name.” “I’ll make sure he fails and I will make sure to get rid of that abomination he carries as well. Who knows whose father that child came from.” Krystal said while sipping from her cup of coffee. “Do no worry about the child Krystal; I am already working on that.” Yuri smirked at the thought. ***** It’s already eight o’clock in the evening when Kyungsoo entered their shared room. He was so tired and his feet are hurting so bad. He badly wants a massage but he is too shy to tell his mate. He might be tired from working all day. He doesn’t want to add to his stress. “Why are you frowning baby? Is there something wrong?” Kyungsoo jumped from shock. He did not notice Jongin going out of the bathroom. He shook his head. Jongin narrowed his eyes at his mate. Even after a few months Kyungsoo still cannot find the courage to say everything to him. Kyungsoo, seeing that glare shivered. He knew that his mate can tell if be is lying but he just can’t say his thoughts out loud. He had been so used to being alone that he always keeps his thoughts to himself. “Kyungsoo…” Jongin warned. Uh oh. Kyungsoo knows that tone. He ransacked his brain for any possible story that he can come up but the look on his mate’s face told him that he needs to tell the truth. “M-my feet h-hurts. Please don’t stop my training Jongin-ah! I am fine. It’s nothing I could not handle. Believe me!” Kyungsoo pleaded. Jongin’s eyes softened and sat on the bed facing his mate. So that’s the reason why Kyungsoo is worried. “Baby, if you are hurting please tell me. I want to make sure you are in your best shape every time. I do not want you hiding things from me. How would I take care of you if you will not tell me? I would let it pass this time but the second time you are hurt because of the training and you did not tell me, I will no longer allow you to continue. Do you understand?” Jongin explained. Kyungsoo sighed in relief and nodded. Jongin smiled and kissed his mate’s forehead. “Now, let’s get your feet taken care of.” Jongin then grabbed Kyungsoo’s legs and started massaging his feet and ankles. Kyungsoo could only moan in pleasure. He had been waiting for this. “Baby, please don’t tempt me. I might not be able to control myself.” Jongin said lustfully. Kyungsoo could only whimper in response knowing full well that he wanted this. He wanted his dominant. Ever since they came into terms Jongin started to be very careful with him. He never touched Kyungsoo since then worrying that he might hurt Kyungsoo and the baby while they are making love. Kyungsoo knew he wouldn’t. He knows that even with a lustful mind Jongin would still care for both of them. That’s why Kyungsoo decided to take this chance to love his mate again. He misses his mate’s touch and kisses. He misses dominance. He misses his scent. “God Kyungsoo you are making this very hard for me. I don’t want to hurt you.” Kyungsoo can see how hard Jongin is restraining himself. “No, please. Make love to me again. I want to feel your love…please…” Kyungsoo is breathing really hard now. His eyes full of desire, his body burning with lust. Jongin’s eyes darkened at the request. He cannot deny his mate if he is begging like that. How can he when he also wanted this? “You asked for it.” Jongin warned his mate. “I love you Jongin.” And that finally broke Jongin’s restraints and jumped at his mate. ***** When Kyungsoo woke up the next morning, he felt so satisfied and comfortable to the point that he doesn’t want to ever leave the bed. But he remembered that today, he will be meeting his tutor- the one who will teach him the Submissive Laws. He quickly jumped from the bed and tried to walk towards the bathroom to start preparing but as soon as he took his first step his knees crumbled down and he fell to the bed again. Jongin woke up from the commotion he felt, and immediately woke up upon seeing his mate struggling to stand up on his own and assisted him back to bed. “Baby, what are you doing? It’s so early for you to be moving around. You should rest a little bit more.” Jongin chastised his mate. “But I am going to meet my tutor today, I have to prepare. I cannot be late and make a bad impression.” Kyungsoo explained. Jongin sighed and kissed his mate’s forehead. He is very happy that his mate is taking his training seriously but he doesn’t want it to compromise his health. He can train yes, but with proper rest. “Baby, you are my mate. Everyone should wait for you. You can let them wait for a day and no one would dare to say anything.” Jongin is still having a hard time drilling to his mate’s mind how important he is now that they mated. His mate still can’t get used to the lifestyle where people bow at their feet. But even if he will not get used to it, Jongin would make sure that he gets the respect that he deserved. “But… it’s not nice.” Kyungsoo simply countered. Not really having anything to counter what his mate said. Jongin smiled at how innocent and pure his mate is. “You have a few hours before you’re tutor comes in. You could rest while waiting.” Jongin said, still trying to coerce his mate into resting. Kyungsoo sighed this time. “I guess you’re right. I just don’t want them to think that I am not taking this seriously.” “They would never think that okay? C’mon, let’s try to take another nap okay?” Jongin watched as his mate sleeps in and take a look at the clock. He needs his mate asleep as he gives the tutor a little talk. When Key told him who the tutor was, the first thing that he did was talk to his dad and demands an explanation. The last thing he needs for his mate is another stress. When he was sure that his mate is in a deep sleep, he showered and dressed on his usual three-piece suit and walked down the stairs where the tutor is supposed to be waiting. “Jongin-ah.” The tutor called him casually and smiled. His mood is suddenly changing. “It’s Young Master for you Krystal, do NOT call me by my name again if you want to remain as my bride’s tutor.” Jongin said frostily. He knew how cunning this woman is and as much as possible he wants her out of his mate’s life. Krystal is Jongin’s ex-girlfriend. They separated two years ago because this woman cheated on him when she
