"Here, I didn\'t know what juice you liked. So I bought one of each kind. You can have the entire bag too. I don\'t drink much juice." 

Hye-Su looked at Joon-won\'s sincere face and then at the bag in front of her with a surprised expression. She didn\'t know if he was dumb or if he was cocky and was trying to show off in front of her. She saw many cocky men too, who tried to impress her with things and thought Joon-won was the same. 

Joon-won looked at her and noticed she didn\'t respond but instead her expression was changing little. She was staring at the bag and so he looked at the bag he was holding too, wondering if there was any problem. 

[You really have grown dumber since you have seen her, haven\'t you? You are now just acting like a rich young master that you hated by giving her all those juices. You should have thought a bit before even handing the bag or even before telling her to keep it for herself. She probably thinks you are a cheap bastard now.] The system\'s words seemed to make him finally understand as he quickly pulled the bag away from her and said.

"This is not what you think. I just didn\'t know and didn\'t want to make you drink something you don\'t like. I\'ll keep these juices myself too. So now please tell me what juice you would like." While looking at her with a worried gaze. The last thing he wanted in the present situation was for his already bad impression to become worse.

Hye-Su looked at him for a second and just sneered out the answer, "Apple juice." She really didn\'t like the earlier action and seeing his sincere gaze, she knew he didn\'t really mean it the way she thought.

Joon-won quickly nodded like a little chicken before taking out the apple juice and handing it over go her. Hye-Su simply took it from his hands and drank it. 

Joon-won looked at her and slowly asked, "Do you want to sit down here. There are many benches to sit down and relax a little at this area. We can have a small talk." While crossing his fingers for the answer he was really hoping for.

Hye-Su stopped drinking before giving him a small nod. Joon-won\'s face instantly lit up as he looked around and walked towards one of the benches. He cleaned the leaves on the bench with his hands before waving towards her. She nodded and made her way. She looked at the bench and noticed the man even spread his handkerchief for her, making her completely flabbergasted. 

She simply picked up the handkerchief he laid out and threw it towards him before taking a seat. She didn\'t need that kind of service and made her feel that guy is really going over the top to just talk to her. That made her feel a little strange. She has seen all types of men, through out her life but this guy was definitely the one she felt was doing the most amount of extra work, whuch she was also not that much of a fan of.

Joon-won smiled wryly as he simply kept the handkerchief back into his pockets befofe taking a sip of his drinks. After a few seconds of silence Joon-won cleared his throat and said, "Let me start. I\'ll introduce mysef properly this time. My name is Kim Joon-won. I am a student in Arios Drama University. I came to the nearby town because I got a role in the movie they are filming." 

Hye-Su didn\'t have any reaction to his lengthy introduction as she simply took another sip of her juice before turning her head to him and looked at him, up and down. As if she was assessing if he told her the truth or not. 

She then just looked at the front, drank her drink completely before letting out an audible sigh. Hye-Su looked at Joon-won once again and said, "Well, I\'m sure my grandfather already told you my name but let me introduce myself now. My name is Be Hye-Su. I am a fighter. To be more precise I\'m National champion in Mixed Martial Arts." 

This time it was Joon-won\'s turn to check her out. He looked up and down but couldn\'t exactly believe thay she was actually a national champion. He didn\'t know what the level of technique or power people had in this world, but she should be really good at it to be a champion. 

Hye-Su noticed his stare and said as she bumped her two fists, "What? You don\'t believe me? Shall we fight now and I\'ll make you eat dust once again. You won\'t be able to land a single punch on me." 

Hearing her Joon-won wanted to strongly retort. Even though the woman in front of him was a national champion, he didn\'t believe that he doesn\'t have a shot to land a single punch on her. It hurt his pride as a man. But he could only swallow it at that moment. He didn\'t want to get into another fight in the public to only get beaten. He knew he would get beaten, especially with his body build. After training for the past 2 months he managed to not look malnourished and was no where near fighting a champion.

So he simply shook his head while waving his hand in denial and said, "No, ofcourse not. I believe you completely. You even said something about a tournament earlier too. So what you said must be true. You also don\'t need to lie to me at all." 

Hye-Su nodded with satisfaction after hearing him. She was always the recipient of thise judgemental stares since she decided to get into martial arts. Since a young age, she was always very strong and could beat up multiple men at a time and she enjoyed the thrill of it. But after she decided to take the route of MMA, she started recieving comments which said that the sport wasn\'t for females and that she should shift to another sport like boxing. But she just shut all her senses to those comments until she beat the living crap out of every top fighter in the country. At the moment she could be in the top 3 in both the genders in the nation. 

"I admire you to take this route. Fighting is hard but it looks like you really like to beat people up to take it as a career." Joon-won said with a wry smile. It reminded him of Zen Quin a little too. She was the strongest person in the entire world and loved to fight in wars. She was also a big battle maniac like Hye-Su in front of him.

Hye-Su nodded with pride before standing up. She waved her hand and both of them continued down the mountain. This time unlike before, the atmosphere wasn\'t that tense. They spoke normal topics as Hye-Su asked Joon-won about the movie he is acting in while he asked about the upcoming tournament she said earlier. Obviously Joon-won could not tell much about the movie because of the contract and was able to keep his mouth shut when needed. This was surprising to the system that he was able to keep it shut that it even commented on it. Joon-wln obviously didn\'t respond as he simply thought.

\'I wouldn\'t keep my entire acting career in jeopardy due to a simple mistake in my first movie.\'

He also got to know more about the tournament. It was actually another national tournament and this time it was both genders together. But only the top two in each genders could fight with the opposite gender. She was confident in winning in the female category that she was looking forward to fight the currently commonly accepted strongest man in the country. She wanted to prove that it was her. The tournament was not any time soon though. It started next year which meant there was another half year until then. But it didn\'t matter to Joon-won as he decided to attend the tournament and show his support.

Just like that both of them continued to talk until they finally reached the base of the mountain. Joon-won checked the time and noticed it was already 5 in the evening. They took longer time to walk down, but he felt it was completely worth it. 

Now the only thing in Joon-won\'s mind was how to ask her contact information. He wanted to know her phone number or even her social media account so that he could keep in touch but asking them wasn\'t an easy task for him.

He looked at her as she was looking around. She seemed to have found what she was looking for as she asked him to wait and walked over to the two wheeler parking lot.. It didn\'t take him long before she came out riding a motorcycle with a helmet on.
