caught in a lie ' kum junhyeon au

the whole class is fixated on this sheet of paper the teacher had assigned them. the room was filled with the chitchatting of the students as they all tried to solve the questions, everyone was sort of struggling as they read through the pages. taerin looked around, everyone seemed to be focusing and understanding the subject except her. she glanced over at junhyeon, who was confidently reading through the paper. she stressfully bit her lower lip in embarrassment realizing maybe she wasn't smart after all.

taerin raised her hand, calling the teacher over to her desk. mr. han was walking around class answering questions so taerin took this as her chance to finally learn something. he was talking to another student as he noticed taerins hand risen up. after a couple seconds, the teacher came over. he placed his arms on the table, his body weight leaning onto them. he clicked his tongue, "so, whats your question?"

taerin tried her best to completely try to forget and avoid the previous situation with her teacher but, it was all she could think about when seeing his face. she slightly stuttered before pointing her finger onto the sheet of paper and explaining her problem. mr. han stood there in silence for a moment before he began explaining the equation to taerin. as he was talking, he quietly slid his hand over the chair, gently rubbing her back as he explained.

she stared at him with her eyes wide open, no words were coming out of her mouth as she just sat there quietly. it was either she failed this class because she didn't know what was going on or just sit there and let herself get weirdly touched by her own teacher.

thoughts were running through her mind until she came to one conclusion. "okay kim taerin. this is not a big deal, its just a simple back touch. he won't eat you." she thought to herself as she attentively payed attention to her teachers words.

suddenly she heard a click sound coming from under her table. "hey sir, could you grab me my pencil? thanks." junhyeon asked as he awkwardly smiled, pointing at the pencil that had fallen beside the teachers shoes. mr.han sighed as he bent down, reaching for junhyeons pencil and handing it back to him. as the teacher was about to explain again, he heard the sound of yelling in the background. it was taerae and gyuvin arguing, he whispered, "great."

the teacher caressed the top of his nose bridge in annoyance before walking to the back of the class where the two students were bickering.

taerin stared at taerae and gyuvin, who were still loudly fighting over their answers. she stared back at her paper before sighing. she looked over at junhyeon, who was already looking at her with a worried expression. he leaned in before whispering into her ear, "you know if you have questions, you can ask me right? that teacher's weird, i don't like him."

"okay." she replied, staring at the ground. it felt like junhyeon was scolding her even though he wasn't. she felt a little embarrassed about it but she ended up asking him questions about the paper which he happily answered all of them. he was an excellent student, too bad he wanted to be an idol.

taerin might have knew some of the answers, but she pretended she didn't so she'd continue talking with junhyeon. at this point she didn't even care what words were coming out of his mouth, she just wanted to listen to him speak. to be fair he was usually screaming, but when he wasn't, his voice was soft and soothing. he was always joking around too, but when he really puts his mind to something, he will work hard.

taerins mind kept wandering off until, she heard a voice call her name, "rin, pay attention." junhyeon said as he lightly tapped her head with his pencil. she awkwardly looked back at him and quickly apologized.

"oh by the way, are we going camping? I love camping. me and my parents used to do it a lot. it's one of my favorite things to do." he exclaimed, his face had lit up.

taerins heart fluttered a little. his smile was so cute when he was talking about things he liked. he sounded like a little child getting excited over ice cream. now she was dedicated to go camping.

"I surprisingly didn't know that but, yeah we're going camping! I'm not the biggest fan because i'm scared of the wilderness but I don't mind going plus, have you heard the story of the girl from our neighborhood that went camping and came back as a totally different person? creepy if you ask me.." taerin replied, moving her hands in all sorts of ways as she explained.

junhyeon noticed her cute habit and laughed, placing his hand on her shoulder as he proudly stated, "don't worry rin, i'm a pretty skilled fighter. i can beat up the ghosts for you." he winked as he pursed his lips, then poking his cheek with his pointer finger.

oh god was this another one of junhyeons special aegyo poses. taerin sighed with a slight smile on her face. yeah she found aegyo cringe but, the only aegyo she could handle was junhyeons. she smirked before suddenly pinching him in the arm. he let out a groan in pain as he noticed the mischievous smile planted on taerins face.

"good luck saving me from the ghosts when you can't even handle a pinch."

"hey, that was uncalled for." he pouted, suddenly junhyeon stuck his palm out. the next words that came out of his mouth made taerin suicidal.

"but junhyeons five years old!"

there was an awkward silence for what felt like a century as taerin gave him a blank stare. she didn't blink for a solid 5 minutes after that. junhyeon was still looking at her, his palm still sticking out with five fingers out. taerins cheeks slowly rose as her face formed a disgusted expression. she placed the back of her hand on her mouth, attempting to hold her laugh in.

"yah seriously junhyeon, i can't believe what i just witnessed..." she muttered, mocking him by fake throwing up noises.

"don't deny it, you know i'm cute." he pouted, placing the tip of his pointer finger on his lips.
