………………………..
 (GANG-LIM’S POV)

I and Young-Bae drove through the the heaven on earth called chairman Chun villa.
The place was really exotic, but I was not there for site seeing but for an emergency, for duty calls.
I throttled the bike driving in a very high speed like a maniac, with Young-Bae on the carrier.
Immediately I reached the gate of the villa, I was surprised that the gate stood ajar, which means, that they were long expecting us.
I rode in without any care in the world. Immediately we we drove in guards numbering in their fifties stood in a line, in preparation for a combat.
They were all in a black suit and spectacles looking quite tough.
     Then what Wang-Choi told me flashed in my mind, about the Chairman Chun, wanting me to fight my way into the building.
Well, I came prepared and so is Young-Bae, even I alone is enough to beat those fifty men  not to talk of when an equally strong and powerful aid like Young-Bae is available.
I had learnt the hard way when, I tried starting a mock fight with Young-Bae, back at his place to ascertain his strength  and to know, if he had What it takes to come with me. But I was dumbfounded because, our martial art skill was completely on par, without anyone beating each other.
He had later confided in me that his father was one time a martial art instructor, so he had learnt martial art, right from childhood.
  Well, we had a chance because, I knew the guards were all muscles and no brain, so they would be easily handles.
       Young-Bae jumped off the bike  while I continued riding towards guards.
     The guards attacked me and the fight clashed out.
I made a fast drive with my bike towards a guard, nearing him, I matched the brake pads in a full slam, pulling the front part of the bike in the process and released the clutch and the front tyre rammed into the guards face sending him staggering, while I zoomed past him.

Young-Bae had already swung into action, fighting like a demon possessed person. Breaking bones and knocking out the guards in the most grotesque way.
He drove a hook punch  at a guard  and that caught the guard in the chin drawing blood in the process, using the injured guard as a pivot, he jumped high into the air and landed a two legged dropkick at two approaching guards.
He made a forward roll on the same succession and made a feeble leap in the air, rendering a world asundering superman punch  at a guard. I could swear that the punch knocked the guard cold , as he summersaulted involuntarily in the air and landed motionless on the ground.
          I was still lost watching the scene of Young-Bae displaying his martial stunts, that I didn’t know when, i received a brain reformatting punch at my face that I nearly reeled off the bike, but I jumped off the moving bike and the guards numbering in their fifteen surrounded me.

Well, I never waited for them to attack me as I reciprocated the favor time around.
I made a tornado kick at one of them launching him out of the circle of men. I launched a double sweep kicks at a guard, who fell helpless to the ground. I rolled away immediately as the incoming guards attacked me with multiple triple kicks.
    I dodged, rolled, kicked, and punched, that I  a matter of minutes all the guards were on the ground.
I met my stop at the last guard, who I finished up, when I charged at him and arrowed  myself in the air striking him down with a side spear.

   
       (jIN-CHUN’S POV)

I was at the site out of my house, watching the fight that was going on.
Lee-Deok had excitedly ran out of the to join me in the balcony and had been jumping up and down in happiness and ecstasy, since she sighted Lee-Deok and Young-Bae.
    I never knew Young-Bae was really this strong  as I watched him make mince meat of the guards.
I have always known him as a quiet boy, who had no time for girls.
      After Gang-Lim, I would say he is the guy  I would like to date if my tussle with Gang-Lim doesn’t work out.
I just have this nagging feeling that I can never get GANG-LIM’S attention and love.

    (GANG-LIM’S POV)

Wow!! Wow!!
A voice resounded and I turned to aww an advanced man dressed in a military attire.
He looked ruby and very handsome and energetic for his age.
He looked familiar to me and in a flash I recognized him.
.
“This same show of strength displayal was the same thing Jim’s mother, saw in me that made her fall in love with me. Young man you are really a lion and I deem you overly fit for my daughter, including this badass friend of yours.”
He said his eyes gleaming in admiration for Young-Bae.
.
I could tell that at that instant that his eyes were more on Young-Bae, who showed more ruthlessness during the fight.
But i saw him stare out helplessly as her daughter already made a choice of me a long time ago and he could not stand in her way.

All this things he were saying were baldersh to me, this same picture of a man, who accused him publicly on the street of theft,exposing he and his mother to public ridicule, they left their only room homeless and in lack of shelter appeared in his minds eyes.
“So you were the man? So you were the man who made I ans my mother so miserable and pained?”
I said in anger as I suddenly attacked him.

(LEE-DEOK’S POB)
.
The next day In school I was walking down the hallway, when I felt a hand pull me into the restroom.
I swirled round uncontrollably and was about to the ground. When I felt a hand grab me by the waist to prevent me from falling.
I looked up and it Lim (Gang-Lim, that’s what I would be calling him henceforth)
In his attempt to prevent me from falling his hair fell across his eyes making him to look extremely cute.
He pulled me up and pinned me to the wall with his Noth hands placed on the wall and his face a bit over mine.
“HI princess.”
He said, smiling.
“And why do you have to do that? That’s not a gentleman’s attitude.”
I said.
“Never in the history of my life was I recorded a gentleman, but for your sake I might be one.”
“You really embarrassed me yesterday’s night.”
I said changing the discussion.
“Jinja (really!!) then I’m sorry, but I must confess I love your parents.”
He said and I couldn’t help but  have my cheek go pink in embrassment after I remembered what happened yesterday’s night.
“Oh!! Don’t be embarrassed it’s a great couples that still show affection to each other at their age should be envied, their love is really a pure and unadulterated one, like how ours would be in no distance time.”
He said and I couldn’t help but blush.
He looked into my eyes but all I could see from his cute gray eyes were affection and care that I couldn’t help but shiver underneath.
I can’t just wait for him to propose a second time, I’m falling madly for him.
“Lee-deok please, would you be my girlfriend?”
He said staring at me with his eyes pleading.
“Of course yes.”
I muttered out and he jumped up so excitedly and carried me off the ground turning me around the restroom so happily.
After some time, he dropped me and stared at me unbelievably as all I could do was smile  and he engulfed me in a tight hug as his strawberry  cologne filled my nose.
“I promise never to disappoint you, be the brother you never had, a sister you never had, I would have opted to equally mention a best friend for you.”
He said and I smiled staring at his lips  as he talked. All I could pray for was for him to kiss me right now, and to be frank this should be my first kiss if it occurs.
He looked at me me and I could feel his lips  drawing closer to mine and I couldn’t help it but tilt my head forward as my heart beat rose in crescendo, until our lips interlocked.

The kiss was a blast, as I kissed him as if my life depended on it, I closed my eyes savoring this heavenly feeling. This was the first of its kind for me.
I couldn’t let go as we kissed more deeply. Gosh!! His lips are so soft and juicy and to be frank, he kisses like a pro, only him knows how many girls that might have had this privilege.

We were still lost in the world of our own, when we heard the cracking of a voice and we turned and it was Young-Bae, shock was written all over his face, while Lim only smiled, while I looked at him without any shame.
He cleaned his eyes and said.
“Excuse me.”
Ans walked away walking back the next minute saying.
“Are you guys for real?”
He asked and I said
“Of course.”
And wrapped my hands around Lim’s neck and engulfed him in another round of kiss, but a short one to be precise.
When we turned he was no longer on the door , he was already long gone, both I and Lim couldn’t help but chuckle.

(YOUNG-BAE’S POV)

I can’t just believe what I saw in the restroom.
Is it that she have accepted him and they have even shared a kiss .
Are they dating or what?
This Lim is something else, so he succeeded in breaking that girl.
Im happy for them though, but for me I’m not ready for any relationship whatsoever now.
I muttered walking down the hallway.

(GANG-LIM’S POV)

I can’t just believe that she accepted me and we even shared a kiss.
The kiss was something else, as it shook my whole life.
God I’m so happy, I can’t just believe that this is happening right now.

Wang-Choi here I come.

I pulled her, as we walked hand in hand talking happily, as she was telling me things about her.
“There is something I wanna tell you.”
She said.
“What’s that dear?”
I asked softly.
“Do you actually know that you are my first kiss?”
She said and I looked at her a bit surprised.
“Actually for me you are the second, but I would call you the first one, because the girl actually kissed me without my permission.”
“But you kiss so well.”
She said not believing me.
“Neither do you kiss badly at all.”
I said grinning.

We were walking round the school environment, when i heard multiple voices shouting out from behind.
“Hey!! You, were are you going with her?”
I turned and it was Wang-Choi’s boys looking at me in disdain with their hands placed in their pockets in uniform.”

  (WOO-JIN-CHOON’S POV)

“Appa (Father) you are back?”
I asked my father as I was trudging down slowly from the staircase.
“Ne (yes) my princess , I’m back and as usual work is too hectic and tiring.”
He said.
“Aww!! Appa it’s a pity.”
I said sitting down beside him.
“Yea dear, I wanna go inside and have some rest.”
“Ahh!! Dad it’s not fair, you didn’t even bother asking me about school , you are too busy to care about your own daughter.”
I said pouting my lips  and sulking, forming an angry face.
His face suddenly changed from that of tiredness to compassion.
” I’m sorry my princess, you know that I care for you above all things, since your mother passed away, you have always been my joy and everything I do is to make you happy and secured, so don’t say that, it hurts me. I’m sorry how was school today?”
I smiled and sat on his laps not minding he was already tired out from work.
” Ahh!! Do you want to kill me? You are too heavy for daddy.”
He yelled, I only chuckled and pointed to a picture of him carrying me on his laps when I was little.
” Dad I’m I no longer your little baby? You should still be carrying me as before.”
“Jin your father is now an old man to be carrying a big lady like you, you are no longer a kid not anymore, you should go get yourself a boyfriend, who would help you with that, dad is now too old  for that.”
I smiled happily as I got up from him and I could see him breath a sigh of relief and stretched himself.

I have really gotten the point that I needed, because I know he would invariably refer to a boyfriend whenever I’m tiring him out.
” You need to go have a watch on your weight. You are just too heavy, God my bones nearly suffered a fracture.”
He lamented and I bursted out laughing  as I tried sitting on him again and he nearly shouted in horror and I left him alone.
“Dad I got something to tell you.” I said still laughing.
“What’s that? I hope you that is not one of your pranks to wear me out.”
I frowned and he knew I was really serious now.
“What’s that?”
He asked.
“Dad I found my Mr. Perfect today, I love him dad and since you have been disturbing me to bring my boyfriend to you, I think I have one now, but I have a problem dad.”
“What is that and I would help you out, as far as you are ready to start up a relationship with someone.”
I walked up to him and whispered to his ears and his eyes widened in shock.
“Come on dad.”
I said and he nodded in agreement but I could tell that it was not from his heart ♥, and I smiled happily.
Thats my dad.

(GANG-LIMS POV)

I hopped into my power bike, as I made my way to school, whistling a popular music to myself as I felt the breeze whiz past me and I was really enjoying the tingling effect, it was having on my ear.
I drove to the school and parked up. I smiled in appreciation after checking myself out, and I made my way in.

I saw Younh-Bae sitting alone with a Bluetooth headphone  slung over his ear 👂 as he nodded to the music he was hearing.
        A realization suddenly hit me, Younh-Bae have never told me about about his girlfriend though we just met yesterday, but I know he would have told me, if he had one.
I will ask him later.
    I approached him and touched him gently, he turned to me and smiled wryly, he removed the headphone  and clugged it to his neck.
“Hi man, how are you doing?”
“Just great, I got something to show you.”
I said and dragged him outside.

Wow!! This is beautiful, I love the bike, what a nice baby you got.”
He said touching some part of the bike.”

We were still talking when Lee-Deok-Choon walked past us and I smiled, while Younh-Bae turned to me equally smiling, probably about what happened yesterday.

“Watch me.”
I said as I drawed my guitar  and hopped into my bike and rode towards her, while Young-Bae sighed in frustration.

“HI pretty, what’s the problem and why do you look sad this beautiful morning?”
I said sweetly, while she just muttered something under her breath which I grasped as.
“You again.”
She ignored me and continued walking.
“Do you care for a ride?” I said still going after her.
She paused and stared at me for some seconds and walked away.
I shrugged and still continued going after her with my bike.
I could see she was tiring out and getting frustrated with my continuous disturbance.
I smiled now is the best time to get her, her pride is a bit low now and she could do anything to have you away from her back.

   (LEE-DEOK-CHOON’S POV)

I was looking for Hong Kim to tell her more about the all nights girls party that, we would be having in my house, when the guy that approached me yesterday, started pestering me again.
He followed me around, with his bike asking me frustrating  questions that really tired me out.
I kept on ignoring him, but I can’t take it anymore, let him say what he wants to say and fuck off.

 (Mrs. Suzzy’s POV)

Mrs. Suzzy could be seen knitting at their sitting room, which stood dormant with only two chairs in the room. The room was not furnished as the only work of art in the room was two wooden chairs a stool and a table.

I sat down on one of the chairs and was busy knitting away an almost made cardigan, when Gang-Lim walked in.

“Omma (mum) I’m set for school.” He announced to me.

“Hope you have eating your food on the table?” I said not raising my head from my work.

“Yes Omma (mum). How do I look? Common you know I got to look good today, it’s my first day in school.” He said when he sensed that my mind was not with him.

I raised my head and smiled apologetically and stared at him and smiled in satisfaction.

“Looking handsome as always. You take after your father, both in handsomeness and intelligence.”
I said sadly.

“It’s okay mom, dad would be happy wherever he is at having his own replica and at my success.” He said and pecked me on the cheek, while I smiled sadly.
“Bye my son may the goddess of success be with you.”

He rolled his eyes as his handsomeness was made evident. Gosh!! He so much takes after his father.

I smiled as I knew why he rolled his eyes, he despises Hinduism and whenever it is made reference of as he noted it all as bullshit.
But ironically I’m an ardent believer of the Hindu belief, because that was the an Indian and was raised in the way of the high spiritualism of the Indians culture. She respected the full rite of an Indian woman not minding that she was in a different country.

“Mum, I got to be going, I have to meet up with the school bus , since I don’t have a bike yet.”

“OK, but learn to stay away from trouble, because you are too strong headed and rascally.” I said.

“I will mom. I cross my heart.” He muttered and pecked me on the cheek a second time.

I watched as he hurried out of our little cottage while clutching unto his backpack in the process as he headed to catch-up with the bus.
.
.
 (GANG-LIM’S POV)
.
Im a guy of twenty-one years, a handsome dude, who stood tall, slim, has a petite face, which looks ruby and a jet black hair that fell across my face, which makes me look super hot and overly handsome, with a perfect and crystaline set of perfect teeth.
I and my mother just arrived Korea, because I insisted on having my college education here here in Korea. I’m a troublesome guy, jovial, crazy and a bit loud as I do normally get myself into trouble. I’m equally a very good dancer and a good singer, as I have a dream of being a popular musician in the nearest future . I equally have a black belt in karate as I practice martial art more out of free will. One more thing I’m a guy who can get whatever I want not minding im not from the influential part of things but I have my ways.

I stood handsome as I wore a white polo and a black shirt over it which I left open and a black fitting pants , with a white trainers sneakers   and a black bandanna that I wore around my head to hold unto my hair that do fall across my face.

I jumped into the school  bus and located an empty seat  in the bus  and sat down because almost all the seats were occupied.

I sat down and a guy sitting close to me smiled at me and I smiled back.

I sat on the window side as I looked across the window as I saw vehicles and bikes speed past as the breeze raised my hairs a bit. I smiled naughtily, I have really missed Korea and it’s environs, it has been five years now and everywhere still looked the same.

Today was my first day in Yeon Music and Modelling Academy. It is a popular school and I had dreamt of attending the school all through my life as it has been my lifetime goal. My mother had refused saying that India was more safer for us than Korea as it is not yet safe for us, after what occurred five years ago but I persisted and she later yielded and here I am om Korea and happily no one is yet to recognize me, as I have changed a lot over the years.

I was jolted out of my thoughts, when I heard a noise of struggling in the bus and I turned to see five guys harassing some of the girls who gathered around discussing.

I watched intently as one of the girls stood up and yelled out in anger  as they kept on disturbing the girls. She stood up and glared at the boys and said.

“You boys should leave us the ladies alone and be om your own, you rascals.”

“We rascals?” One of the bullies asked.

“Yes, you boys should mind your business and stop poke nosing.”

She said in an audacious manner, while the girls supported her, though quietly, without voicing out their words, because those guys were big time bullies.

“How dare you?”

The guy who looked like their leader said and pulled at her hair, she yelled in pains and shrieked out, another guy from behind made to spank her from behind but I held him from behind as his hands hanged in mid air as I stopped him from futher assault. One thing I hate in my life is bullying especially on someone who is so helpless against you.

“It’s ok, you know?”
I said walking into the middle in a comical manner.

“Didn’t your mother teach you to respect the female folks?”

I said smiling with the full aim of making them angry as I spoke out in my Indian intonation, which was very funny.

“Hey, bumpkin what’s your business here?” The leader asked.

I smiled provocatively and wrapped my arm around the girl who they were bullying earliers shoulder in a funny way as I pouted my mouth and that drew laughter from all angle in the bus  as everyone’s attention was drawed to us.

This made the guy who asked me the question to be reddened.

“You see this girls are weak and you shouldn’t be hard on them, if you like any of them you let them know or I would help you out, than manhandling them badly.”

He dropped another bomb and the faces of the guys reddened, while the girls chuckled.

“I can see you are tired of leaving.” There leader said as he was really angry.

“How can I be tired of leaving when I’m only two decades old? Rather I would say you are the one tired of leaving because you look exactly like like my long dead Grandpa .”

I said again as it drawed laughter from the bus,even the driver chuckled on the wheel.

What happened the next moment was too fast for my eyes to follow as he hit me angrily on the face and I fell hardly to the floor of the bus .
The bullies laughed while the girls gasped sadly.

“” Aww!! That hurts.”

I said as I and touched my face as I stood up.

” But what I said, was true, you look exactly like my dead Grandpa  who died in his…………. “

I couldn’t finish when, he attacked me with a jab a second time and I smiled wickedly, that was just the second opportunity I was looking for.

I dodged the blow and rammed a punch at his solar plexus which weakened me, immediately,as he fell in a heap.

“Do not let him go.”

He yelled from the ground and they prepared for a fight.

“Do you wanna play game?”

 I said to the boys and they made to attack me immediately and I said.

“Wait.”

I gave my backpack to one of the girls, which she gladly collected from me. I signalled them to attack and they rushed for me.

I dodged a kick from one of them and gave a front kick at one of them as I danced  around, funny enough i was fighting and dancing at the same time as every of my dance move was to dodge a punch a kick. I gave them a good beating as for each guy I would hit to the ground, i would say in my Indian mode of singing
 “Learn how to respect the girls.”

Which would draw ceaseless laughter as everyone gathered to watch the fight. While the driver kept yelling for nothing to spoil on the bus but everyone ignored him..

I kept on displaying my wonderful reflexes as I danced around funnily while beating them. I kicked the final guy to the ground and placed my foot on his chest, while he stared helplessly on the ground.

The girls were so happy,  that they were hugging and tugging at me, which I enjoyed very well as I smiled naughtily, shaking my body to any touch that was do sensitive. They gathered around me, begging me to snap pictures with them in their phones, somewhere saying.

wow!! Such a cute and strong guy aww!!

 Handsome and such a funny guy.

 Are you in a relationship?

I only smiled as I enjoyed every bit of their accolades as some were still hugging me from behind, tickling me and all sorts of naughty plays as my body moved in rhythm to their touches.

They all gathered and posed as I took a picture with them all. In all this one of the girls stood aside staring at me, like she has never seen a cute guy before.

I later went back to my seat, the guy next to me smiled and said.

“You really hit them hard.”

He said and I smiled.

“They deserve it.”

I said and one thing led to the other were started discussing.

I turned around and found the beautiful damsel still staring at me.
I turned away and suddenly remembered something.

“Awww!! I disobeyed Omma (mom), I never stayed out of trouble.”

 (GANG-LIM’S POV)
.
Im a guy of twenty-one years, a handsome dude, who stood tall, slim, has a petite face, which looks ruby and a jet black hair that fell across my face, which makes me look super hot and overly handsome, with a perfect and crystaline set of perfect teeth.
I and my mother just arrived Korea, because I insisted on having my college education here here in Korea. I’m a troublesome guy, jovial, crazy and a bit loud as I do normally get myself into trouble. I’m equally a very good dancer and a good singer, as I have a dream of being a popular musician in the nearest future . I equally have a black belt in karate as I practice martial art more out of free will. One more thing I’m a guy who can get whatever I want not minding im not from the influential part of things but I have my ways.

I stood handsome as I wore a white polo and a black shirt over it which I left open and a black fitting pants , with a white trainers sneakers   and a black bandanna that I wore around my head to hold unto my hair that do fall across my face.

I jumped into the school  bus and located an empty seat  in the bus  and sat down because almost all the seats were occupied.

I sat down and a guy sitting close to me smiled at me and I smiled back.

I sat on the window side as I looked across the window as I saw vehicles and bikes speed past as the breeze raised my hairs a bit. I smiled naughtily, I have really missed Korea and it’s environs, it has been five years now and everywhere still looked the same.

Today was my first day in Yeon Music and Modelling Academy. It is a popular school and I had dreamt of attending the school all through my life as it has been my lifetime goal. My mother had refused saying that India was more safer for us than Korea as it is not yet safe for us, after what occurred five years ago but I persisted and she later yielded and here I am om Korea and happily no one is yet to recognize me, as I have changed a lot over the years.

I was jolted out of my thoughts, when I heard a noise of struggling in the bus and I turned to see five guys harassing some of the girls who gathered around discussing.

I watched intently as one of the girls stood up and yelled out in anger  as they kept on disturbing the girls. She stood up and glared at the boys and said.

“You boys should leave us the ladies alone and be om your own, you rascals.”

“We rascals?” One of the bullies asked.

“Yes, you boys should mind your business and stop poke nosing.”

She said in an audacious manner, while the girls supported her, though quietly, without voicing out their words, because those guys were big time bullies.

“How dare you?”

The guy who looked like their leader said and pulled at her hair, she yelled in pains and shrieked out, another guy from behind made to spank her from behind but I held him from behind as his hands hanged in mid air as I stopped him from futher assault. One thing I hate in my life is bullying especially on someone who is so helpless against you.

“It’s ok, you know?”
I said walking into the middle in a comical manner.

“Didn’t your mother teach you to respect the female folks?”

I said smiling with the full aim of making them angry as I spoke out in my Indian intonation, which was very funny.

“Hey, bumpkin what’s your business here?” The leader asked.

I smiled provocatively and wrapped my arm around the girl who they were bullying earliers shoulder in a funny way as I pouted my mouth and that drew laughter from all angle in the bus  as everyone’s attention was drawed to us.

This made the guy who asked me the question to be reddened.

“You see this girls are weak and you shouldn’t be hard on them, if you like any of them you let them know or I would help you out, than manhandling them badly.”

He dropped another bomb and the faces of the guys reddened, while the girls chuckled.

“I can see you are tired of leaving.” There leader said as he was really angry.

“How can I be tired of leaving when I’m only two decades old? Rather I would say you are the one tired of leaving because you look exactly like like my long dead Grandpa .”

I said again as it drawed laughter from the bus,even the driver chuckled on the wheel.

What happened the next moment was too fast for my eyes to follow as he hit me angrily on the face and I fell hardly to the floor of the bus .
The bullies laughed while the girls gasped sadly.

“” Aww!! That hurts.”

I said as I and touched my face as I stood up.

” But what I said, was true, you look exactly like my dead Grandpa  who died in his…………. “

I couldn’t finish when, he attacked me with a jab a second time and I smiled wickedly, that was just the second opportunity I was looking for.

I dodged the blow and rammed a punch at his solar plexus which weakened me, immediately,as he fell in a heap.

“Do not let him go.”

He yelled from the ground and they prepared for a fight.

“Do you wanna play game?”

 I said to the boys and they made to attack me immediately and I said.

“Wait.”

I gave my backpack to one of the girls, which she gladly collected from me. I signalled them to attack and they rushed for me.

I dodged a kick from one of them and gave a front kick at one of them as I danced  around, funny enough i was fighting and dancing at the same time as every of my dance move was to dodge a punch a kick. I gave them a good beating as for each guy I would hit to the ground, i would say in my Indian mode of singing
 “Learn how to respect the girls.”

Which would draw ceaseless laughter as everyone gathered to watch the fight. While the driver kept yelling for nothing to spoil on the bus but everyone ignored him..

I kept on displaying my wonderful reflexes as I danced around funnily while beating them. I kicked the final guy to the ground and placed my foot on his chest, while he stared helplessly on the ground.

The girls were so happy,  that they were hugging and tugging at me, which I enjoyed very well as I smiled naughtily, shaking my body to any touch that was do sensitive. They gathered around me, begging me to snap pictures with them in their phones, somewhere saying.

wow!! Such a cute and strong guy aww!!

 Handsome and such a funny guy.

 Are you in a relationship?

I only smiled as I enjoyed every bit of their accolades as some were still hugging me from behind, tickling me and all sorts of naughty plays as my body moved in rhythm to their touches.

They all gathered and posed as I took a picture with them all. In all this one of the girls stood aside staring at me, like she has never seen a cute guy before.

I later went back to my seat, the guy next to me smiled and said.

“You really hit them hard.”

He said and I smiled.

“They deserve it.”

I said and one thing led to the other were started discussing.

I turned around and found the beautiful damsel still staring at me.
I turned away and suddenly remembered something.

“Awww!! I disobeyed Omma (mom), I never stayed out of trouble.”
