Chapter 66
My eyes snapped open as I was hit with a wave of sharp pain in my lower abdomen. Groggily, I sat up and looked around, disoriented. How did I end up on the bed? The last thing I remembered was dozing off on the chair, my head resting on the table.
How did I not feel Hyun Min bringing me to the bed? The more I thought about it, the more my mind recoiled in..Hyun Min's question still lingered in my mind, but I pushed the thoughts aside as I assessed her current situation.
As I stood up, a gush of warm liquid made me gasp. Looking down, my eyes widened in horror. My clothes were stained with blood, and I could feel the sticky wetness between my thighs. My period had arrived, and I was completely unprepared.
"Father Lord, I'm doomed," I muttered to myself, panic rising in my chest. I frantically looked around the room wondering where to start.
With shaking hands, I tried to process what had happened. I needed to get cleaned up, and fast.

Hyun Min sat under the shade, cradling his cup of freshly brewed coffee. The aroma wafted up, rich and inviting, and he took a sip, feeling the hot liquid spread warmth through his hands, chasing away the lingering chill of the morning. The teachers had thoughtfully brought a portable coffee brewer,knowing how much the students appreciated a good cup of cofee.
It was barely 7 am, and the world was still wrapped in a soft, pre-dawn gloom. The first hints of morning light slowly crept over the horizon, casting a gentle glow over the landscape. The trees stood like sentinels, their branches etched against the sky like a delicate pen and ink drawing.
As Hyun Min sat in the eye-catching chair beside the matching table, he gazed out at the serene landscape, the sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling in the gentle breeze creating a soothing melody. Nearby, a middle-aged woman bustled around the kitchen stall, her movements efficient as she prepared breakfast for the students. The smell of cooking food wafted through the air, mingling with the scent of coffee and the earthy smell of the forest.
Hyun Min watched her with mild interest, his mind still half-awake. He savored the coffee, feeling the bitterness and sweetness balance on his tongue, and the warmth spreading through his body. The setup was surprisingly organized, with a stall and kitchen nearby, indicating that the school had thoughtfully planned for the students' comfort during their stay.
The sudden peck on his cheek shattered Hyun Min's serene moment, and he spun around, his eyes flashing with annoyance. Na Yeon's playful grin met him, her eyes sparkling like diamonds in the morning light. "Good morning handsome," she chimed, her voice as bright as the sun that was slowly rising.
Hyun Min's gaze turned skeptical, his eyes narrowing slightly as he asked, "What was that for?" His tone was dry, laced with a hint of irritation.
Na Yeon's smile never wavered. She ignored his question, her attention drifting to the old woman bustling around the kitchen stall. "Old woman,I need a cup of cofee?" she asked.
The middle aged woman's eyes met Na Yeon's, and she offered a gentle apology. "Sorry, dear, I'm afraid I'm a bit preoccupied with breakfast preparations at the moment." With that, she disappeared into the kitchen, leaving Na Yeon looking slightly irritated.
Na Yeon's eyes narrowed, and she bit her tongue, her thoughts racing with indignation. "Who does she think she is, anyway?" she thought to herself.
The middle aged woman, seemingly attuned to Na Yeon's displeasure, reemerged from the kitchen with a stern expression. "If you're craving coffee, dear, you'll have to make it yourself. You didn't bring a personal servant to this camp, after all," she said, her voice firm but not unkind.
As she spoke, Hyun Min's eyes darted towards the old woman, and he chuckled,clearly amused by the old woman's straightforward words.
Na Yeon's expression shifted, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she turned to Hyun Min. She slid her hands onto his shoulders, her touch light and playful. "Why don't you make me a cup of coffee, hmm?" she asked, her voice laced with amusement and a hint of expectation. Hyun Min's response hung in the balance, as Na Yeon's eyes danced with anticipation.
Hyun Min turned to look at her, his eyes narrowing slightly as he spoke. "Are your hands for show?" he asked. "You didn't come here with a servant, so get your hands working," he said, his voice steady.
Na Yeon stood up, and grudgingly went brew her cofee.
A few minutes later, she returned, cup in hand, and sat down beside Hyun Min. His eyes, cold and piercing, met hers, and he spoke in a tone that dripped with sarcasm. "Congratulations on making your own coffee. Did your hands fall off in the process?" The mockery in his voice was palpable, but Na yeon merely rolled her eyes, a hint of amusement dancing on her lips.
The morning sunlight was out fully. Everywhere was alive with the hum of activity as students poured out of their rooms, chatting and laughing as they went about their daily routines.
A girl approached hyun min her hands stretched as she extended her hand, her voice a melodic serenade.
"I've been admiring you from afar. I'm Madison."
Na yeon watched the scene unfold with an air of sophisticated amusement, her gaze dancing between Hyun Min and the newcomer. Her lips curled into a sly, knowing smile as she spoke, her voice dripping with refined sarcasm.
"Madison, it's clear you are really mad as your name implies..or probably you are just blind – Can't you discern that he's taken, occupied by someone as captivating as myself?"
Hyun Min's eyes widened in astonishment, his face a mask of incredulity as he sprang to his feet, his chair scraping against the floor with a sudden jolt. He began to walk away with purposeful strides, leaving Madison standing alone, her hand still outstretched like a forgotten wing. "Oppa!!?" Na yeon called out.
As Na yeon followed Hyun Min, she cast a withering, icy glance at Madison, her eyes flashing with a warning that brooked no argument. Madison's face crumpled, her eyes widening in realization as she dropped her hand, her cheeks aflame with embarrassment.
