MiYoung's POV:

I decided to drive my own car to the golf house for my first lesson with Nichkhun. I was shaking from head to toe the whole way there and I was filled with insecurities. What would become of me and my father if I didn't win the Winter Tournament? I really hoped this Nichkhun guy knew what he was doing, my future was basically resting on his hands.

The gate opened up for me and I saw Nichkhun and Manager Byun waiting for me at the main entrance, Byun with a fake smile plastered on his face and Nichkhun with the same curious stare that was stuck to his face the day before. The intensity of his eyes made me wonder what he was thinking about.

After an endless list of instructions my father wrote down for Manager Byun to read to me, Byun finally let Nichkhun and I to our business. Nichkhun directed me towards the golf field that to my surprise, was rather empty.

"Where is everyone?" I asked, with a small hint of worry.

"Umm, there's not that many clients at this hour Miss Kang, so I guess we have the whole field to ourselves today." he answered, cracking a smile that sort of took my breath away for a second, while he slung my clubs over his shoulder, flexing every muscle in his arm in the process. It took me a while but I managed to stop ogling and re-focus to concentrate on what was important. Learning how to play golf.

We got to a certain place on the field and he placed my clubs on the smooth grass, getting everything we needed ready. This is where I noticed the way his caddie uniform fit his body perfectly, and it suited him extremely well despite the fact that it was a typical, all-white caddie uniform.

I stared more than was necessary at his figure and naturally, he caught me.

I heard him chuckle softly. "I'm sorry to interrupt your staring at me, Miss Kang, but I'm afraid we need to begin as soon as possible, your father is comming over to observe us soon." he said, giving me a slight mocking grin.

I cleared my throat twice and looked away from his perfect face. How dare he point out that sort of thing to me? Also, his flirting tone was definately suggestive.

"Just call me MiYoung, but that's as far as you get!!" I yelled sternly. I honestly did hate getting called "Miss Kang", it made me feel like I had some special title just by carrying that last name, when truly, I did not want anything to do with my father's business, since I had done nothing to contribute till this day. The success of the Kang family was my mother and father's accomplishment, not mine.

"Alright, MiYoung, I'll ask you a question first. Nichkhun continued, smiling. Why do you have 14 clubs in this bag?"

I blinked furiously, not knowing how to answer beacuse it was obviously wrong for me to have that many clubs.

"I-I...I read online that golfers use a maximum of 14 clubs, and well...I didn't want to come out short." I answered shyly.

Nichkhun chuckled handsomely once more and began discarding a bunch of clubs from my bag.

"Well, MiYoung, you're a beginner. Only professional golfers know how to make use of 14 clubs. We are taking this one step at a time, ok?" He looked up at me from underneath his eyelashes adorably.

Damn, how am I supposed to concentrate with that face teaching me? I wondered. There was something so alluring about Nichkhun that I could not explain into words, and it was only my first day as his student! How was I supposed to live with almost 9 months of this?!

"O-Ok." I stuttered.

"Cute. he said to himself, giggling a little. So, we'll start off with the basic clubs for now: a driver, a putter, a sand wedge and supplement those with a 6-iron, an 8-iron, a pitching wedge, and a fairway." Nichkhun explained rather expertly.

"A s-sand..what?" My stuttering was getting stupid at this point.

"A sand wedge, the club you use to a ball out of the sand trap." his patient tone impressed me, a regular instructer would have flicked me on the head already.

"Oh! Yeah, I-I knew that already, I just didn't hear what you said." I decided to play cold-hearted again.

"Stubborn...I like that." He smiled radiantly at me looking straight into my eyes while I blushed furiously.

Oh boy.

Nichkhun's POV:

After an hour of practice and much explaining, I realized something.

Kang MiYoung at golf.

It took me a whole 15 minutes to explain the different terrains in a golf field, and almost 20 explaining that there was a special club for each terrain and 25 minutes trying to demonstrate the right possition for her to make the first . It seemed endless.

The positive thing was, Mi Young seemed genuingly interested in learning how to play golf after I spent around 5 minutes explaining the different structures each club had. It was forced interest at first, honest curiosity halfway through, and genuine interest and concentration near the end.

There was something else I realized.

There was something about MiYoung that attracted me to her.

I didn't know if it was the way she furrowed her brows when she didn't understand what I said, or the way she beamed when she completed her first successful , or the way she would stick out the tip of her tounge when she was concentrating hard on the ball, or maybe the way she would fix her bangs before hitting the ball, or the way her cheeks were tainted with a light shade of rosy pink whenever I was too close to her.

I didn't know, all I knew after an hour and a half of teaching her how to play golf was that I didn't want the day to end. I actually wanted to go on until midnight, even if that was impossible.

MiYoung and I were in the middle of a small break when we heard someone calling our names from behind.

It was her father.

And by the look on MiYoung's face, it wasn't exactly a pleasant surprise to see him.

"Father?" MiYoung said, bowing a little.

"Dear, I've been watching you practice from a distance this whole time, and I'm rather impressed by the amount of effort you're putting into this when it's your first time doing it!" Chief Kang began, smiling pleasantly.

"Well, it turns out...Nichkhun is very skilled when it comes to golf and so far, he's been a great teacher." MiYoung complimented me, and something fluttered in the pit of my stomach.

I bowed 90 degrees at Chief Han, who proceeded to shake my hand and thank me for teaching his daughter well.

"Well Nichkhun, if you don't mind, I'd like to dismiss you for today, you've done a great job so far."

Before I could answer MiYoung interrupted. "Why, father? I think I still have a few hours, according to our schedule." something in the way MiYoung's voice came out desperate made me wonder if she was actually enthusiastic about learning golf, or if she found it that unpleasant to be with her father.

"There has been a change of plans, Raph is outside ready to take you home so that you can change and dress yourself beautifully beacuse the Jangs have arranged your first meeting with Wooyoung 3 hours from now." Chief Kang answered, excited.

Before MiYoung could answer, a bodyguard appeared out of nowhere and took MiYoung by the arm and towards the front lobby, followed by her father.

And that's when I noticed that MiYoung had turned her head in my direction, giving me the longing look I had ever seen in a person before. It was like her eyes were begging to go back to me, and something tugged at my heart.

I could only wave at her and yell a 'See you tomorrow!' from a distance, just to see her nod in agreement.

The look on her face haunted me for the rest of the day, and even while I was trying to sleep. An incesant need to protect her from whatever she was being forced into washed over me like a cold bucket of water.

I couldn't get her out of my head.

Hi there :D I hope you liked this chapter as much as I did!! Thank you for the upvotes and new subscribers! There's very few of you but that's ok! I like every single one of you :D

Also someone asked in the comments if MiYoung was based off of Tiffany from SNSD, and yes. She is :D Even though Nichkhun and Tiffany are not an OTP of mine (I'm a hard core Khuntorian) but I saw this character in Tiffany's eyes from the beginnig!!

See Ya! -Taemaximum
