To fight for a better tomorrow."

"

This man has such a rude ass." I mumbled as I got myself ready for millionth jump squat. I had already lost count of it.

This was all because me and Rose have got fifty seconds late for class!

Huh!

Our misfortune had gifted us with a punishment of fifty jump squats from our prick of a teacher. But to my disappointment this man was satisfied with nothing!

"Your legs must be bent at an angle of sixty degrees after the jump!"

"Your back is not straight!"

"Both your legs are not parallel!"

"Do it again!"

Thats all we have been hearing for the past twenty minutes. Now I don't even know which multiple of fifty the number has reached.

After five to ten more attempts to reach 'perfection', he asked us to leave and not to be late again with a straight face.

I dragged my wobbly feet to the place other students were standing and joined the queue. To my surprise some of the girls at the back of the row were whispering so quietly that I could literally hear each of their words. It added to my irritation.

They were gossiping about how handsome he looked.

Seriously!

Sure he was attractive, I couldn't repudiate to that but I forced myself to remember the fact that the same man mercilessly made me do nearly hundred jump squats not even a minute ago .

I sighed.

This is definitely not going to be easy.

"Is that how he really is? This is not good at all." I nudged Rose gently at her arm.

"Don't worry Luna. Things are going to be fine. He is just a bit strict, I'm sure you are strong enough to cope up with it" I gave her a smile. This time a genuine one.

"What are these beautiful ladies here talking about? Mind if I join?" heard a voice from behind us.

Of course, we were talking about him.

And of course, he heard us.

We turned around to find him standing behind us with a mocking smirk plastered on his face.

"Ah. You two once again. Have you both planned to not let me take the class today?"

"We don't remember restricting you from taking the class, Sir" I spat. I have had enough of his nonsense.

A sudden grasp was heard from the whole class, even Rose beside me flinched at my words.

Shit, why did I say that.

I looked up and met his eyes; amusement clear in them for a few seconds before they turned dark enough to scare the shit off me.

"Watch your tone, Miss Park.
Nobody here dares to speak back to me like that. I am letting this slip since this is your first day here. Next time I will not be so merciful." He growled in a raspy voice annoyance clear in them, before turning around and walking away.

For the rest of the class he showed us some steps which he made us do again and again till all of us were perfect in his eyes. This was for a new choreography which he would teach us only once we had mastered all of these steps.

In middle of all this some of the girls made mistakes purposely again and again so that Hoseok could come and show them the moves. I cringed at the sight.

Thankfully the class got over soon. I picked up all my stuffs and was about to run outside this devil's den when I heard a rough voice.

"What's the hurry Miss Park? Come here let us have a nice little chat." A mocking smirk plastered in his face as he patted the empty sit beside him.

God, I'm doomed.

I took a deep breathe.

Just be calm Luna. I have to be sincere and modest. I need this degree for getting a job to support myself. I have survive here for another two years.
After all he is no monster......Or maybe he is.

I could see a few girls glaring daggers at me while a few people looked at me with pity as I slowly made my way towards him.

What's with all the sudden attention!? It was not like I was going to get killed or something..... Or maybe I was.

"Miss Park Luna.

So, you are new one here. May I know the reason for joining so late?"

"Some personal problems, sir."

The last thing I wanted was pity from this cold man; even though I doubted whether he was kind enough to give any but still I was not comfortable to share everything, yet.

"Oh..ok" I could make out from his voice that he was not satisfied with my answer but I was thankful he didn't pressurize any more.

"Since, from now on you are going to be learning under me you have to follow all my rules." I nodded.

"Most importantly DONOT SPEAK BACK WHEN I SAY SOMETHING UNLESS I ASK YOU TO. No going out or breaks without my permission. Extra friendly behaviour with anyone or any kind of misbehaviour in my class would not be tolerated. I always have my eyes on all my students. You have to prove that you are worthy of my time and energy. Useless people are not allowed in my class. Take this seriously."

He leans closer before adding in a rather raspy voice, "You are no princess here."

Gulp.

I suddenly felt very intimidated and timid under him.

"That's all. You can leave now." the cold emotionless voice had returned.

I swivelled around and walked ahead of the room quickly.

I don't want to be any princess.
