Professor Kim - KTH

Chapter 14

We had eaten our dinner , I was picking up the plates , spoons and giving to Mr. Kim and he was washing them.

"Um Taehyung it's still raining." I said looking at the window. "Yes , I don't think it will stop soon atleast not tonight." He said looking at the window too.

I let out a breath and placed the dried dishes in their respective places. "I feel happy today." I heard him say.

Then , he stopped doing the dishes and faced me , his hands still holding the plate. "I mean I am always alone and today I have someone , actually you...so it's nice." He said with a smile.

I gave him a small smile to too. "Then we both are same...after school I am all alone in house , but only till 7:00 PM then my brother comes."

"Hmm" He said and gave me the last plate which I dried and placed it at it's place.

He dried his hands and faced me fully. "So....want to watch something or?" He began asking but I shake my head as a 'no'

"You told me you would tell me about your landlord." I said folding my arms and kept under my chest.

"Oh that....yes come with me. Let's sit and talk." He said and began walking and sat on the couch and I sat too creating space between us.

"Actually once he gave a room to a guy of my age and a girl used to come and meet him almost four days a week.

Sometimes he used to go and sometimes she used to come. Then some group of their friends also began coming.

And one day when the landlord came to his room to ask to pay his rent , he was not there nor he ever picked his phone.

So the landlord went to the police because he didn't pay almost three months rent saying some random excuses and now he is disappeared.

And then the police informed the landlord after investigation that he was murdered by the girl who used to visit her along with those group of friends of his.

So that's the reason he doesn't keep single's but since I told him that I don't have a girlfriend or I will not allow anyone to come here , he agreed but he comes for checking."

Mr. Kim said and I made an 'O' shaped mouth and nodded. "So you don't have a girlfriend?" I asked him.

He chuckled a bit and said. "Out of everything you ask that 'do I have a girlfriend' hahahahaha....and why you ask?" He said laughing.

"Umm well i-it looks like you must be having a girlfriend. Who knows you had lied to your landlord and you meet her outside." I say looking at the window avoiding eye contact with him.

"Hmm you are right though , and what if I do have a girlfriend. Are you perhaps...jealous?" He said bringing his face closer to mine.

"Wh-what n-no I don't care if you have a girlfriend. It's not that I-I have a crush on y-you." I said showing fake confidence and he just laughed and spread his legs sitting comfortably.

"Relax relax I was messing with you , I don't have a girlfriend." He said after few moments of silence.

"WHAT REALLY?" I said loudly as I was happy that he doesn't have one. "Yes I don't have but why are you shouting?" He said facing me.

"I wonder why...I mean you look young and you should have a girlfriend by now." I said crossing my legs and sat facing him on the couch.

He also sat crossed leg facing me. "What do you mean look young , I am young. And what about you...do you have a boyfriend?"

"No I don't." I said pushing my hairs behind my ear.

"Why...You are so pretty and cute. Anyone would want to be your boyfriend." He said and I looked at him in surprise and my cheeks began heating.
