Only You (YeonGyu)

Chapter 6

Yeonjun's POV

Standing in front of the whole class, I glanced at every student before me. Since, it's a new start of a new chapter this year, everybody is all new to me until my eyes caught someone who's quite familiar. If I'm not wrong... if I remember it correctly, it was him whom I ran into earlier. I'm kinda getting excited at some point. I'm looking forward to this class, because I feel like it's going to be fun. As I introduce myself, I notice that some students are gossiping at the back while giggling, and some have their mouths agape with their eyes fixed on me.

I always get that a lot. It's nothing new to me at all, because every time I interact with people, mostly, they're stunned by my presence. Sometimes, I feel like I'm being laughed at or probably I'm just a joke to them. I'm kinda sensitive when it comes to expressions of other people. However, I don't let that get in my head and distract me. I'd only make a fool of myself if I let that happen, so I always choose to ignore the negativity and be true to myself.

Other people say that they're astonished, because of my looks. I also get that a lot, and I don't know what to feel about that. Maybe, I'm thankful for the compliments, but I'm not full of myself to think that I'm so charming. I don't find myself that attractive, but I don't think I'm ugly either. I guess I look just right. Although, most people kept telling me I'm the most handsome man they've ever met.

After the introduction, I started discussing the lesson. Since it's all about literature, of course I had to ask their opinions first of what they think about literature. I scanned around to see which student I should call and noticed that the boy whom I ran into looked so dazed. He seemed to be a little lost, and I could only chuckle on the inside.

"Hmmm... How about you, the one with the black blazer? Could you please tell me your thoughts about literature?" I asked the person sitting next to him.

"I-I... Uhmmm... For me, literature can be either factual or non-factual. It's filled with words and deep information about something like stories. And literature is very intriguing, especially the content of it."

I nod in appreciation and asked some more. Most answers were very similar to one another, but they were right about their thoughts on literature.

I begin writing some terms on the board while explaining the exact definition of literature. I could tell everybody was getting interested in the topic, or maybe I'm just getting ahead of myself. The other students in the back were giggling nonstop while staring at me. I didn't mind them and focused on the discussion instead. But, the one thing I really noticed was that the person whom I'm familiar with was still looking pretty dazed. Is he feeling alright? Maybe he's just stunned just like everybody else, or maybe he's just like that, or probably he's not feeling well. But, I could tell that the look on his face seemed like he was mesmerized. I wonder what his name is. He looks very mysterious and quiet.

And since time flies in an instant, the end of the discussion came. I gave an announcement for their assignment to be submitted next week. It's about writing the advantages and disadvantages of literature. As I'm fixing my stuff, I glanced at the mysterious guy, making eye contact with him. I smiled, and he immediately looked away, looking shy.

"Cute." I mumbled to myself and exited the room.

There's this feeling where it tells me that something about him is interesting. I'm kinda curious to what he has up his sleeve.

When I got to the faculty room, Soobin was drinking coffee while leaning against his chair. He immediately greeted me.

"Hey, how did it go?"

"It's great. The students were active and attentive." I said.

"That's good to hear. I think they're not bad, and they'll surely gonna do so well this year. Oh, I have something to tell you. Some students asked me a while ago if we're related to one another. They thought we were brothers because we have the same surname. And they even gave you so many compliments."

"Really? What did they say." I asked as I put my things on my desk.

"Well, they said you're more handsome than me. How nice of them to say that." Soobin said in a jokingly manner. The look on his face is priceless, though.

I grinned at him and answered, "ahahaha~ you know students nowadays, right? They prefer the most appealing one to them."

"Hey, does that mean I'm not appealing to them? That's crazy. I know to myself that I'm charismatic just like you!" Soobin exclaimed as he rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, you're absolutely right. You are handsome... but, I'm more handsome than you kekekeke~" I joked out.

"You're so full of yourself, Yeonjun hyung. You should probably get married. When are you gonna get yourself a wife, huh? Do you want to be single forever like me?"

"Ahahaha~ maybe? What? Are you gonna introduce me to a stranger, so we can have a fling with each other or something? Should we just date each other, then?"

"That's a good idea." Soobin smirked.

"You're so funny." I rolled my eyes.

"Yup, I know. By the way, what are your thoughts about Choi Beomgyu? How did he do? That student seems very intelligent, don't you think? I asked him a very tricky question earlier and he answered it with ease. I think he's gifted. Gifted students are kinda hard to find these days."

"Choi Beomgyu?" I questionably raised my brows.

"The one with a solemn face."

I tried remembering every face I saw and all I could think that would fit the description was the guy I'm familiar with. I mean, he was dazed, but based on my observation, his face was very serious – not in a threatening way, though.... just natural.

As I sat at my desk, trying to connect the dots, my gut was telling me that his name could be Choi Beomgyu. However, I have to be sure about that, and not jump to conclusions. I don't fully know all the students' names yet, because I don't really ask for their names. As a teacher, my way is what matters. I only do my job and teach what I have to, which I think is enough. Quite simple, yet not a bit friendly... I know. Perhaps, I should get to know them, so I wouldn't be confused. I might just add that to my way of teaching. I should probably check my class list and do some arrangements for clarification. It's just the first day of school anyway, so it's no big deal.

I'm not actually the type of teacher who would get to know his students' names first and then start tackling the lessons. I just really base with my class list and call whoever I want during my Q&A time. For me, getting to know their names is just very common, that's why I don't do that kind of thing. However, things might change a bit starting next week.

"Choi Beomgyu, I wonder what you're like."
