Teacher Cheon frowned as he studied Park Soo Hyun's face carefully. It was understandable if the burly and muscular man didn't really recognize him because they hadn't seen each other for several years.

Even as Park Soo Hyun recalled, Teacher Cheon's hair was still black back then. In contrast to right now which already looked white.

"Teacher Cheon, doesn't teacher recognize me?" Park Soo Hyun looked at Teacher Cheon's face, which was wrinkled with age.

"So many people that I've met in this world. Tell me what's the need for you to come here? Why did you peek at people practicing? Are you a spy from another school?" Cheon Ho Jin said repeatedly with many questions that were immediately being asked.

"Teacher Cheon, I'm Park Soo Hyun. I used to be one of the students of this school. Doesn't Master remember me?" Park Soo Hyun grimaced. Tried to remind him a little.

Teacher Cheon looked thoughtful while remembering.

"Ah, I remember. Are you that unruly Park Soo Hyun back then?" guessed Cheon Ho Jin.

"That's right, Master," said Park Soo Hyun shyly.

Cheon Ho Jin patted Park Soo Hyun's shoulder quite hard. Until Park Soo Hyun felt that his shoulder was almost broken.

"Ouch!" groaned Park Soo Hyun as Cheon Ho Jin tapped him on the shoulder once more.

"Why are you so weak? Weren't you a strong and very brave boy?" Cheon Ho Jin teased while chuckling.

"Sir, don't bring it up again," Park Soo Hyun said while rubbing his shoulder.

"Let's go inside," said Cheon Ho Jin in a friendly manner. Then walked ahead of Park Soo Hyun to invite him to enter.

Cheon Ho Jin was a Taekkyon martial arts teacher. If to people who came here for first time, he will look very scary but after a long time, he was actually a friendly guy and easy to talk to.

Park Soo Hyun followed his teacher in and then sat cross-legged in front of him.

"Tell me what's the matter of coming here? Do you intend to come back here again or is there something else?" Cheon Ho Jin asked frankly and without preamble.

"I just had an accident and I couldn't walk for more than a month. I want to train again to train my strength," said Park Soo Hyun.

"Really? Then, who's the girl you brought?" Cheon Ho Jin narrowed his eyes, smelling something fishy.

"She… she…." Park Soo Hyun was confused on how to answer it. It was too hard to tell who Soo Yin was for him. Because there was no definite answer about his feelings for Soo Yin.

Their current relationship was like above the clouds. It was hard to interpret. Park Soo Hyun actually wanted their relationship to be clearer and more serious. But don't know how long he will wait.

"I know if she is the girl you like. But be careful, don't force your will on her too much," said Cheon Ho Jin. He was a teacher, so it was natural to know something that people didn't know.

"It turns out that the Master guessed it right," said Park Soo Hyun. Until this moment he was still waiting for Soo Yin's answer about his feelings.

"Don't you remember that this school can only be attended by men. The presence of women here will only break the concentration of studying," said Cheon Ho Jin. He stared deeply into Park Soo Hyun's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Sir. I really forgot about it," explained Park Soo Hyun while massaging his temples. He was too happy so without thinking he took Soo Yin there.

"Do you remember what the punishment is for bringing a girl to this place?" Cheon Ho Jin reminded Park Soo Hyun of the prohibitions that all students there must obey.

Park Soo Hyun kept his head down as he kept thinking about how to get Soo Yin to be allowed in. It was impossible to bring her back without a bit of practice.

"I beg to let her in, Master. Just this time, I can't bear to say that she can't come in," said Park Soo Hyun while bowing his head in hopes of persuading his teacher.

"Didn't I already say that I don't accept female students," said Teacher Cheon firmly.

"Pity her, Sir. She has come all the way to this school. Only this time, I promise not to invite her to this place again," Park Soo Hyun coaxed without giving up.

"That can't be violated, young man. If you really want to retrain at this school, that's fine. This place will always be wide open for you," said Teacher Cheon with a long sigh.

He looked far back, the reason why women were not allowed to enter anymore. In fact, it used to be open to anyone. Women or men may enter without exception.

Until one day there was a male student who was secretly having a relationship with a female student. In school, it was not allowed to have a relationship because that they had to focus on their practice.

The couple were caught by the students there. Made the school chaos out of control. When the couple was sentenced not to meet, it turned out that they still insisted on meeting even though they did that secretly.

One night they met secretly near the edge of a steep cliff. There were some students who deliberately followed them because they felt suspicious.

The fateful incident was unavoidable. The lovers decided to plunge into a steep valley because they did not want to be brought back to school. Both were found dead the next day.

Since then, the Taekkyon school led by Teacher Cheon decided not to accept female students. It was all done for the common good.

"Master?" Park Soo Hyun shook teacher Cheon's arm who was pensive. He knew that his teacher must be thinking about what happened in the past. Even though Park Soo Hyun didn't know what really happened, the story was indeed very famous.

"You'd better go home if you don't want to get punished. You can find her a place to practice elsewhere. No matter how hard you try, it won't change anything," explained Teacher Cheon.

"I'm willing if I have to be punished. But I beg you this time, Master will comply with my request. I can't bear to break her spirit. She has tried hard to come here," said Park Soo Hyun quietly.

"Sorry I can't. But if you want to practice I will train you right now," said Teacher Cheon.

Park Soo Hyun took a deep breath. How could he stay inside, while Soo Yin was still outside. Even if he was practicing, he will not be able to concentrate.

"If she can't, I better go now," said Park Soo Hyun as he stood up. It seemed useless to persuade his teacher.

Teacher Cheon was a man who was firm and will never break the rules that had been made by him.

Teacher Cheon nodded his head, letting Park Soo Hyun slowly leave the room. Actually, he didn't have the heart, considering that their journey required quite a lot of energy to get to that place. But past events traumatized him
