TAO looked at the way he moved and smiled at how he turns from the shy sweet person that he is into the man who makes the female student body remember to never judge a book by its pink cover. He was the aegyo prince in one moment then the wushu warrior in the next. He looked at him with respect, admiration and something else he can't say to anyone else for fear of getting bullying or worse, having him find out and they would end up being awkward towards each other.

It didn't help that he was their self-defence instructor. And the advisor of the Harmony Club of SM University where he was a currently a freshman.

Tao had begged to get a slot in this class. He didn't tell anyone that he was a medallist and could possibly do wushu in his sleep. He was trying not to show his natural ability so he could repeat the class next semester. The basics of the defence class make him want to smirk because he could probably take down every guy in the class on his own. He was never the kind who wants to flunk anything. He was a go-getter. But sometimes failing at something would get him what he really wants. And all that he wants right now is a chance to be around Sungnim-ssam.

"Your turn, Tao." his classmate Kris nudged him and he stood up and faced their professor.

He didn't expect Sungmin would attack him without even bowing. He moved out of the way and on reflex dodged the attack. And landed on his feet after black flipping since his attacker didn't stop at just the first move.

There a stunned silence then an explosion of applause and hooting was heard in the dojo when the rest of the class recovered from their shock.

"I knew you were hiding something from me." Sungmin's smile was both challenging and full of mischief. Tao grunted because that smile went straight to his gut...lower than his gut actually. Clean your thoughts, Tao. There are children here. He remembered how Kris would say that whenever he had that erted frown he makes that only his best friends knew the meaning of.

"Class dismissed." the other students approached Tao, most of them the girls in the class. He winced at the possibility that his planned peace would now be forever a dream.

"You were so wonderful." the girl had the gal to touch his arm from shoulder to wrist. "How long have you been a martial artist?" she asked.

Tao felt a chill go down her spine. And not the good kind of chill. He moved away from the girl and just mumbled. "Since I was a kid."

"Tao. My office. Now." he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Sungmin call him over.

"Yes, sir." he motioned for Kris to go ahead of him.

"I'll see you in our next class, hyung." Kris mouthed Good luck at him because his hyung knew that he would get in trouble because of the recent discovery of his skills.

SUNGMIN placed the towel on his table and gestured for Tao to sit down. He noticed that his student sat in an almost 90 degree angle, obviously tensed.

"Aren't you curious as to how I found out about what you can do?
