Chapter 21

As Jaehyun returned to the dorms with his arm around Soobin and the others, he was still humming in high spirits, and then, he caught sight of his coach, Tiffany , leaning on the door outside his dormitory.

She was smiling, but her eyes radiated a cold light.

In that instant, Jaehyun felt a blast of cold wind right to his face and was abruptly much more sober.

Soobin's and Yoongi's faces turned an interesting colour, and they quickly took the first chance they had to slip away.

Tiffany smiled widely at Jaehyun. "Thinking to get married already?"

"Cough."

"How about I be the one?"

Jaehyun felt chills throughout his body; the alcohol had been completely driven away by fear. He bowed his head and said in a small voice, "Boss Tiffany, I was wrong."

"What did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn't have posted that Weibo. I'll delete it now." So saying, Jaehyun reached into a pocket to grab his phone.

Tiffany sniffed coldly. "What use is it to delete it now?"

"Erm, then what should I do?"

Tiffany did not answer but asked another question instead. "Besides posting a Weibo which you shouldn't have, what else did you do which you shouldn't have?"

"Shouldn't have? Uh, drink?" Jaehyun wasn't too sure about this, because there wasn't an explicit rule prohibiting drinking in the team.

"You plan to just stand there and talk to me?"

When Jaehyun heard this, he reacted especially quickly — he immediately dropped to the ground and began doing push-ups at a rapid pace.

At this time, RM walked over and leaned against the other wall of the corridor. He smiled at Tiffany and said, "Matron Tiffany , bullying the kids again?"

"Big-Beard Namjoon, it's none of your business."

"I know that. I'm just here to watch." RM was somewhat enjoying another's misery — he knew that this was not nice, but he just could not help it.

Tiffany had an unhappy expression on her face as she looked down at Jaehyun and said, "Get up. Go back and write a reflection. No less than 800 words, and the words and grammar must be filled with sincere emotion. Summarize everything you've been up to in these past 3 months. Hand it up to me tomorrow."

Boom! Jaehyun tumbled to the ground. His face was white. "Matron, no!"

Writing reflections was what Jaehyun was most afraid of. By optimistic estimations, his composition level was around year 3 of primary school. For him to write an 800-word reflection was even more painful than swimming 10,000 metres.

Tiffany was unmoved. "Don't let Jungkook write it for you." Done speaking, she left.

Jaehyun climbed up from the ground and shouted at Tiffany 's back, "Matron, what if I can't finish writing it?"

"Then you can stop training. Whenever you're done is when you'll train."

Observing from the side, RM shook his head and sighed, "So ruthless!"

Top athletes were very invested in their training — by banning him from training, Jaehyun himself was certain to be the first one to become anxious. As such, Jaehyun could only obediently write his reflection, and the process would inevitably be agonising ... RM could not bear to think any deeper than that. Frankly speaking, he had no quarrel with Jaehyun — in fact, he quite liked the little fellow. He just could not see eye to eye with Tiffany , that's all.
