Chapter 71: A Month Later
After facing yet another rejection, Jin made his way back to the hotel.
After an hour Dylan came and it was the start of the study session.
Just like that Jin's routine continued as days turned into weeks and weeks finally turned into a month.
By the end of the month, Jin felt the sharpest he had ever felt in his life. His grasp of the English language had increased tremendously. His physique was in its peak state and what was best was the fact that his mental strength had shown a drastic increase.
It was all due to the daily tasks he had been completing regularly.
Jin pulled out his stat window and observed it with satisfaction.

There was a slight change in how body and mental constitution were displayed but Jin welcomed it. It only made it easier for him to keep track of.
With a pleased expression, Jin made his way towards Zenith BioTech's branch like always.
Winter had just begun and the temperature was starting to decrease. It was around 16 degrees centigrade outside the cab. The passing tree leaves showed signs of drying.
Jin finally reached the destination and got out of the car. He adjusted the sleeves of his dark greyish blazer as he got out of the cab and moved towards the destination.
However this time to his surprise the woman was already waiting for him there.
With a brown scarf wrapped around her neck, she glared towards Jin through her glasses. She had finally run out of patience towards Jin.
It had been a whole freaking month and this guy had been asking her out every single day. Now even her colleagues were aware of it and cracked several jokes about him when they saw her.
"It's a surprise to see you there," Jin commented with a smile.
"Just what are you? How shameless can you be to keep on approaching me even after I've rejected and ignored you several times? Just why are you doing this to me?" The woman let out her pent-up anger on him.
Jin patiently waited as she let out all her frustrations. When her breathing was finally in order he replied, "Isn't it obvious? It's because I like you,"
"YO-" The woman really wanted to rebuke against his words but she felt too embarrassed to do so. The reason was the bubbly feeling her heart felt when she heard those words.
She soon recovered herself and completed her words, "You, aren't you ashamed of yourself? Don't you have pride as a man? You're even good looking so why do you keep acting so shamelessly and keep on pursuing me? There are plenty of girls more beautiful than me and they might even agree to your advances. Why are you torturing me like this?"
"If having pride would make me not pursue you then I don't need such a pride. If having shame will prevent me from approaching you then I'll gladly be shameless. What's wrong with doing so much for the person I've fallen in love with?" Jin says with a straight face however something else is going on in his mind at the moment.
'Aiyoo I might die from the cringe….I want to bury my face in a hole…don't let her know…don't let her know…just keep a straight face Jin…you can't spoil it…you can't…'
While Jin's mind was going through turmoil the woman's mind was also in no better situation.
No one had ever confessed their feelings to her until now so she has no clue on how to deal with this situation.
All throughout her student life, she has been buried under books and the only thing she was focused on was getting a placement in Zenith.
In order to complete the goal she toiled day in and day out not paying attention to her appearance at all and therefore it was common for her to not be approached by males.
It was only when she graduated college that she understood a little about dressing sense but compared to her peers she was clearly lacking in that field by a huge margin.
'Who wants a man anyway? I'll just devote myself to my field.' With that mentality she had been carrying herself all this while…that is until a variable called Jin popped into her life.
"L-love?! Do you even know what that is? You don't even know my name and you say that you've fallen in love with me? How ridiculous," She lashed out at Jin. It was her way of dealing with the turmoil in her mind.
"You're the first woman with whom I've felt this way and I'm damn sure that it's love. As for not knowing your name, Who said I did not know it," Jin said
Jin's words took her by surprise and she couldn't help but ask, "You know my name?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I?"
'Hmm, he's been stalking me for a month now so he really might know it…' She thought.
"So, how about it?" Jin asked.
"How about what?" She asked.
"About going out with me? You haven't had lunch till now right?" Jin asked. She had arrived earlier than her usual time so Jin was able to guess it.
She sighed.
"You really are persistent aren't you…fine! However, you must promise that after that you'll stop troubling me." She declared.
"I can't promise that because I love you," Jin replied once again with a straight face.
"You…" She was lost for words and just then her stomach growled. Thankfully it wasn't very loud.
"Fine! Let's go and eat," She finally agreed.
'Success!' Jin cheered for himself inside and signalled for a cab. The two of them soon got in the cab. Jin told the driver where to go and before long they arrived at the same five-star hotel Jin had stayed before.
