Chapter 27 (Please Teach Me Tutor)
Episode 27: Date
<Kim Si-woo’s POV>
“You came out earlier than I thought. Didn’t you wait long?”
“Oh, I just got here too. Ha, hahaha.”
She scratched her head with an awkward smile. Judging from her expression, it was obvious that it had been quite some time since she had arrived, but I didn’t bother to point out that point.
I looked at Yu Ah-ra. Her hair, which had been tied up tightly with a hairpin, was slightly bent and swaying. Her lightly toned white skin, dark eyeliner, and red lips. She was fully armed.
She was wearing a blue sprite shirt rolled up to her elbows, and underneath that, a short white cropped strappy top barely exposed her skin. Her cleavage was visible, and her smooth abs were exposed. It was as if she was giving charm of both the fresh college student look and the mature charm.
Thanks to the ivory denim shorts she was wearing, her thighs were exposed. Her white skin, which did not match the hunter’s appearance, was impressive.
The smell of orange-scented shampoo from her hair tickled my nose.
Maybe it was because she usually greeted me in casual attire. Seeing her fully dressed like this felt unfamiliar.
“What, why are you staring at me like that?”
“Just because you’re pretty.”
“Eek! What, how can you say something like that so casually?”
“Are you expressing your honest feelings?”
“Eeeeeee… That’s enough.”
Yu Ah-ra, who was fidgeting with her fingers, looked at me.
“Tch, you’re handsome too, teacher. Even more handsome than usual.”
“Are you saying I’m usually ugly?”
“I didn’t mean it like that, but think what you want.”
He wore a beige linen shirt with black boot-cut pants. He wore brown shoes underneath to pursue a clean design. It was a carefully selected look because he thought it would be right to dress neatly when going out on a date.
I was worried, but you said it was okay.
‘I feel good.’
Sniff. Sniff.
Yu Ah-ra came closer strangely and sniffed with her nose prickled.
“Did it smell good?”
“Oh, oh, no! It’s, it’s not that good.”
“Really? Hmm, maybe it was a mismatch.”
I smelled the perfume I had applied to my wrist. I personally liked the scent, so I put it on and left, but this one was a bit weird. Well, not everything can be perfect.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
“Oh, yes. A little?”
“Let’s go. Otherwise all the seats are taken.”
“Oh, yes.”
In fact, when she made a wish to go on a date, I had no idea where to start or what to do. That was understandable, since I had never dated a girl while attending the academy, and since becoming a hunter, I had no time to go on a date.
So this kind of situation was extremely awkward for me.
But it wasn’t good to show that I was flustered. It wasn’t cool. At least I, as the older one, should show that I was leading.
So I searched here and there for recommended date courses.
There were so many restaurants to eat at near Gangnam Station that I didn’t have to look for long.
I chose the most date-like and safe food: pasta.
Even with the gates opening and the appearance of the Hunters, the dating course didn’t change much.
Well, it’s obvious.
-♪♩♪♩♪~~.
A pasta restaurant with soft classical music playing.
The atmosphere was quite nice.
I sat down and was guided by the overly friendly staff.
I ordered two bowls of pasta and a small pizza. Hunters are basically people who burn more calories than the average person. I think this won’t be enough.
“Then I will bring it to you right away.”
The staff is leaving.
“…….”
“…….”
Silence settled over the room.
What should I say?
I couldn’t read her thoughts at all.
Still, we need to start some conversation.
“You had a hard time taking the test.”
“Oh, no. I passed thanks to the teacher who taught me well.”
“I thought I would definitely get first place since I taught it, but I still felt good when I actually saw it.”
“Ah…….”
Yu Ah-ra hesitated for a moment and then asked me.
“Teacher, you said you saw it.”
“The test?”
“Yes. How was it?”
“Who? You?”
Yu Ah-ra nodded her head vigorously.
“Hmm… First of all, I liked how you came to senses from the beginning and explored surroundings. I liked how you suspected that there might be a villain even after finding survivors….”
“T-That’s not it.”
“Then?”
“T, that….”
She started to fumble again.
“Were you, by any chance, dirty?”
“What?”
“When you were dodging Harold’s attack, you were covered in dust and sand, and it was a mess. And after that, you got dirty because of the fight.”
I smiled at her. There were cadets who often worried about this. They were worried that their appearance on TV would be a mess. Of course, this second test was broadcasted on YouTube as well as TV. Naturally, they had to be concerned about how they appeared on TV.
“A hunter is at his coolest and prettiest when he’s covered in dust. That means he fought with dedication.”
I continued speaking while looking at Yu Ah-ra.
“So, you were the prettiest out of all the other students in the video. So don’t worry about that.”
“I-Is that so?”
“Yes.”
“That’s good. The teacher said you were pretty.”
Her face turned red.
She seemed to cheer up a little.
[Yu Ah-ra: Favorability – 84%]
It came up again, even though I didn’t say anything.
A flushed face and raised eyebrows. Could it be that you misunderstood what I said?
‘It might be excessive self-consciousness.’
I was afraid that if I asked for something, it would cause a strange misunderstanding, so I held back my words. In the meantime, the food came out. The pasta and pizza were plated so beautifully that I wanted to take a picture. Of course, the fork came out before the picture.
It was a very pleasant mealtime. We talked about various things while eating. It ranged from slightly trivial to somewhat serious.
“Before I met the teacher, I really thought I should give up on the academy. So I studied hard to the point where I always had dark circles under my eyes, but it didn’t work out well.”
“Aren’t you going home this vacation?”
“I think I’m going home, but I don’t think it’ll be long. Maybe a week at most?”
Yu Ah-ra continued speaking, scooping up a small spoonful.
“Let’s stop talking about class now.”
We also talked about quite a bit of personal stuff.
“Teacher, what type of girl do you like?”
“What type of girl do you like?”
“Yes. Like what kind of appearance you want, what kind of hair style you like, what kind of personality you want, things like that.”
“……A blind date?”
“Oh, just answer me.”
“Nothing in particular. Just…….”
“Just?”
“As long as it’s someone I can trust.”
“Someone you can trust?”
“Yeah. I got hit hard before.”
“Ah.”
The back of my head still feels cold from being hit by my ex-girlfriend, Shin Seo-ah. I didn’t know that I would end up with Daesung.
“Faith…….”
She nodded to herself, mumbling softly.
We ate and chatted for quite a while. Perhaps because he ate less than expected, Yu Ah-ra didn’t eat that much.
“If you’re done eating, shall we go see a movie?”
“I’ll buy lunch.”
“Okay. Today’s a gift for you, Ara, so I’ll pay for everything.”
“But…….”
“Then let’s buy some coffee later.”
I had no intention of taking advantage of the student. She was already paying a considerable amount of money in tuition.
After eating, we went to the movie theater. The movie was a blockbuster action movie based on the true story of hunters in the past. It was a hot topic because Choi Ho-seon, the younger brother of the seven heroes Choi Ho-cheol, appeared in it.
‘It’s not fun.’
To be honest, it wasn’t fun. It wasn’t just that there wasn’t any, it was just that there wasn’t much.
It was just a movie that seemed like a shallow plot to somehow make money by using the names of the Hunter and the actors.
Was that why?
Tingling.
I felt Yu Ah-ra’s gaze glancing at me from the side. I could see her sniffing at me, occasionally grimacing as she stole glances at me in the darkness. Was it because she thought I didn’t notice?
Sniff. Sniff.
Her actions became more and more daring. It was more fun to observe her actions than to watch the movie. Although, it seemed like she didn’t notice because the theater was dark.
I was sure of it as I watched her fingers twitch and move towards me.
‘This guy really cares about me.’
I don’t know what triggered her interest in me, but she was definitely interested in me.
[Yu Ah-ra: Favorability – 87%]
The increasing favorability at this very moment proves this. Of course, I don’t know how to take this.
[After reaching 100% and having sex, you can use Yu Ah-ra’s active skill – Telekinesis (B) 5 times.]
Even after completing the 100% strategy, there is a status window that says you can get an active skill if you sex with her. Should I sex with her because of this?
Or should I ignore her feelings?
If not, should I take it seriously?
It was even more difficult because there was no right answer to the question.
I glanced at her twitching her fingers and reached out my hand to her, pretending not to know her.
I gently grabbed Yu Ah-ra’s hand.
“Your hands are cold.”
“At least tell me in advance.”
“Ah… … .”
It was dark so I couldn’t see very well, but I could tell her face was bright red.
The boring movie was longer than I thought, and Yu Ah-ra’s hands were softer than I thought.
Only after the movie was over did I let go of her hand.
“Are you feeling better now?”
“…… Yes.”
She couldn’t raise her face.

<Yu Ah-ra’s POV>
It was fun talking to Mr. Si-woo. We didn’t really talk much, but I was able to focus on what he said and react to every word he said. His words just went straight into my ears.
Is it because he came out dressed up so well today, unlike usual?
Or is it because he smells so good?
If not.
‘Did we hold hands earlier?’
Thinking back, my face turned red. As I watched the teacher concentrating on the movie, I kept getting closer, and at one point, he reached out and grabbed my hand.
He didn’t see me smell him, did he?
I felt embarrassed.
“Ugh.”
Today, I vowed to seduce him and dressed up nicely, even wearing pretty underwear.
But why do you do this?
Someone might ask.
We’re just a teacher and a student.
But Teacher Si-woo wasn’t just a simple private tutor. He was someone who could do something that no one else could do. Something like turning a repeat student into a top student.
‘I never want to lose him to someone else.’
I wanted to know more about him, and share more with him. I wanted to monopolize many things about him. I wanted him, who had the ability, to only look at me.
I thought he would get angry when he saw other students, so I tried to use my wish power, even though it was cowardly, to make him fall for me.
I chose this place so that we can get a little closer and not get away.
If necessary, I was willing to give him everything I had.
I felt it even more while dating Si-woo.
‘Our teacher is charming.’
Beyond just his ability, he was an attractive man. Of course, he wasn’t a romantic interest. That would be the case, since there was a bit of an age difference.
So what was this attraction?
Simple admiration?
Awe of his abilities?
I don’t know.
But one thing was certain.
I wanted to continue to be with Si-woo.
“Are you satisfied enough?”
Teacher Si-woo, who had a delicious dinner at an expensive Japanese restaurant, asks if it was as good as he had hoped.
It was better than I thought. It was fun just being together. It was fun even though we didn’t do anything special. It was so good that I unconsciously stared at his profile.
So I wanted to stay with you just a little longer. Just a little longer.
She grabbed Kim Si-woo’s sleeve.
“Excuse me, teacher.”
“Huh?”
“Would you like a drink?”
“Drink?”
“You didn’t drink at dinner earlier. So let’s have a drink at my house.”
The motel was a little scary. But if we went to a bar to drink, I didn’t think it would create the mood she wanted. So we chose our house. A familiar and comfortable space.
Here.
Maybe we could put the finishing touches?
“Alcohol?”
“Do you hate it?”
“No, not really.”
“Just drink a little. It’s vacation now, so I don’t have to go to school.”
Yu Ah-ra decided to throw a little tantrum.
T.N.
I am changing Strategy shown in status window with ‘Favorability’.
Yu Ah-ra seems to going to go all in.
