Dear Diary,
The words that Cha Min spoke that day were quite simple. But they had a tremendous effect on my heart.
'You are special to me'
it keep resonating in my mind and i was looking for different reasons to make a sense out of it.
'It could be like you are special to me because you are my first friend here' Or 'You are special to me because our families get along'
it really couldn't be 'YOU are special to ME' right?
But I couldn't confirm the meaning cause he kept on walking with a charming smile on his face.
Finally we reached the hidden place. He asked me "So are you ready?"
Then he showed me the place. I could tell why nobody could see it, as it was hidden behind thick hedges only near a statue of Donald Duck there was a small opening behind from where you can see the river. There was small space in the front and few trees providing bit more privacy.
The place was already 10 minutes walk from the gate and many of the families prefer to be near the front for picnics so this part of the park wasn't discovered.
"Come on princess. Dont be shy" he said with a teasing glance.
I entered the place and it really felt like entering into the new dimension, our own secret place.
As I was looking at the place Cha Min was rummaging through his bag. I came closer to him and saw him taking out blanket and few snacks from his bag.
'Does it mean he planned everything?'
So I asked "How did you knew I wasn't going to refuse?"
"Because you needed help with Math and...."
I arched an eyebrow and looked at him "and?"
He shrugged his shoulders and said
"And I wasn't going to take no for an answer anyway"
I retorted with "and what if I would have refused?"
He replied nonchalantly with "Then I would have tried something else"
He looked at me and patted the place next to him and said "Come on, sit and eat, you have to be energized so that you can give your whole focus to me"
"Huh.."
"I mean to your studies. Geez what are you thinking?" He said teasingly
I said hurriedly "But I didnt say anything"
He was grinning again after hearing my answer.
I sat next to him and started munching on the snacks.
The whole scene was peaceful and beautiful.
'And the snacks were delicious too' my inner voice reminded me.
After we were done with our snacks, Cha Min took out his book ans I did the same and it suddenly hit me 'This is the part i was most dreading'
Cha Min looked at me and asked "So what is the equation you need help with?"
I looked at the book and then back at him not saying anything.
So he said "Okay, lets start from beginning then. Do you understand the basic of derivatives?"
I nodded my head.
He replied enthusiastically "Thats great. Lets go through it once and then we will start with first equation. Alright?"
I nodded was embarrassed and blushing but went ahead with it.
He asked me questions in his melodic voice and explained few things clearly with his own logic which was much easier understand then Mr. Min our Math teacher's.
I nodded and asked questions where required. Before I thought that it would be impossibly awkward to have lesson from him. But he explained everything with such sincerity without making me feel dumb about it.
He kept answering all of my questions without being irritated which was amazing itself. Cause I could be really annoying when I dont understand something. But he wasn't annoyed with me at all.
I was amazed and I realized that I could hear him speaking all day. Even if its Math.
