Chapter 404 - 404 - Try
Taekkyon used to be often competed between schools but for now, martial arts was more aimed at just practicing their abilities. Most of the students who were there were naughty kids sent by their parents to get better.
Teacher Cheon started teaching how to kick and lock the opponent, it was the most basic practice because Soo Yin had never learned it at all.
Park Soo Hyun had just finished serving his punishment. It wasn't too hard because every now and then he could see Soo Yin who seemed excited to watch Teacher Cheon trained her.
Every student who brought a girl into the school, will be given a penalty of taking water from the well and then bringing it to the kitchen as much as 20 times.
Even though Park Soo Hyun was no longer the one who was studying there. The punishment were still enforced because he already knew the ins and outs of college.
Park Soo Hyun's shoulders felt like breaking because he hadn't done it in a long time. Plus earlier, teacher Cheon patted him with a strong energy.
If Soo Yin didn't say she wanted to practice martial arts, Park Soo Hyun wouldn't even think about coming there.
Park Soo Hyun then approached Soo Yin and teacher Cheon were was practicing a little Taekkyon movement, how to lock the opponent.
"Argh!" shouted Soo Yin when she was locked up by teacher Cheon so she couldn't move at all.
"Remember, you have to focus on the opponent," said teacher Cheon as he let go of Soo Yin's body.
After just half an hour of practice, Soo Yin felt that her strength was almost drained. Her body was limp with sweat that had already flooded on her forehead and all over her body.
"Now you can rest," said teacher Cheon to Soo Yin.
Soo Yin complied, she then sat on the floor while straightening her legs. Her hands were behind her back to support her weight.
Park Soo Hyun held out a handkerchief to Soo Yin which he happened to be carrying. He smiled at Soo Yin who looked exhausted.
"Cheer up, you can do it," said Park Soo Hyun. His face looks radiant, he is very happy to be able to bring Soo Yin there. At least their trip wasn't in vain.
"Thank you," said Soo Yin.
Now it was time for teacher Cheon and Park Soo Hyun to fight. For Soo Yin, their movements looked so careful but actually felt stressful for Park Soo Hyun who had not practiced for a long time.
The two of them circled and alternated their footwork before making a sudden hard kick.
Soo Yin was in awe of the two of them who were defending each other. Until finally teacher Cheon locked Park Soo Hyun's movement, so the man had difficulty moving and fell because of teacher Cheon's hard kick.
"It turns out that you are really bad now. Even though you used to be one of the best students in this school," teacher Cheon sneered with his upper lip pulled back.
"Didn't I tell you that I just had an accident and fell into a coma, Master." Park Soo Hyun tried to get up with a gasping breath.
Park Soo Hyun admitted that he was really bad right now. He had even forgotten a few moves. In the past, he could often beat Teacher Cheon.
"You guys rest for a while, I'll see my other students," said Teacher Cheon.
"Okay, Master," said Park Soo Hyun and Soo Yin at the same time.
"Park Soo Hyun, why exactly were you being punished?" Soo Yin could no longer contain the curiosity in her heart. Park Soo Hyun just entered but was already given a punishment, it felt so unfair.
Teacher Cheon said it was for bringing a girl. Was it because of her so Park Soo Hyun being punished? If true, then Soo Yin would feel guilty.
"Don't think about it. It's just a small mistake, I haven't been here for a long time," said Park Soo Hyun with a smile.
Soo Yin narrowed her eyes, dissatisfied with Park Soo Hyun's answer.
"Really? It doesn't seem fair to you. Teacher Cheon said that because you brought a girl, was it because of me?" Soo Yin said. She's getting more and more uncomfortable, because Park Soo Hyun herself was punished
"It has nothing to do with you at all. While I'm with you, everything will feel very light." Park Soo Hyun chuckled at the cheesy words that were said.
"Soo Yin, I want to ask how is our relationship right now? Is it okay if I call you my girlfriend?" Park Soo Hyun added.
Soo Yin was nervous, she wasn't ready to reject him. But on the other hand, she also didn't want to give false hope.
"Sorry, I… I…." Somehow Soo Yin's lips felt so heavy when she was about to say it. Her lips seemed to be locked tightly.
"I can't accept it," Soo Yin said softly with a downcast face.
"Let's practice again," teacher Cheon shouted.
Soo Yin and teacher Cheon said it at the same time so that Soo Yin's words were too low for Park Soo Hyun to hear.
"All right, Master." Park Soo Hyun then stood up first and then stretched out his hand to pull up Soo Yin who seemed to have trouble getting up.
Soo Yin frowned as she didn't get any reaction from Park Soo Hyun.
'Maybe later I can say it,' muttered Soo Yin.
The training started again.
Master Cheon provided more basic Taekkyon martial arts techniques.
Soo Yin and Park Soo Hyun watched Teacher Cheon carefully. Moreover, Soo Yin was very impressed with teacher Cheon's abilities.
After paying enough attention, Soo Yin began to imitate his every move. At first it was quite difficult because Soo Yin had never studied it. But over time, Soo Yin had begun to understand even if only a few.
Two hours had passed, now the sun was starting to hide behind the trees. Only the afternoon rays that were not too hot were left.
"This training seems to be enough," said teacher Cheon.
"Thank you for today, Master," said Soo Yin. Even though she was tired, she was satisfied.
Soo Yin and Park Soo Hyun then changed clothes first.
"Before going home we should eat first," said teacher Cheon. Guided them to enter the banquet place.
Soo Yin was about to refuse because the sun was almost setting. But she felt impolite, and her stomach also felt hungry. It turned out that practicing self-defense was very draining.
"Master, may we come here another time?" Soo Yin asked carefully.
"You don't have to come here to practice because Park Soo Hyun is already good enough. He can train you," said teacher Cheon.
"Teacher, I still can't if I have to train other people," said Park Soo Hyun shyly.
"If Soo Yin is able to do basic movements, then you can ask one of the senior students here to teach her," said Teacher Cheon.
"Okay, Master," said Park Soo Hyun quickly. Later he would ask seniors to help Soo Yin. Because, if he were the one who trained Soo Yin, he would definitely not concentrate.
