83 - Kim Seokjin

Imagine you're in your first lecture of the day, finishing up a brief worksheet your professor had just assigned in class. When you find the right opportunity, you drop your pencil down on your desk to massage your sore wrists.

Your friend sitting at the desk beside you analyzes your motions before commenting with a soft chuckle, "Stop writing so fast, Y/N. We have enough time to finish the assignment before the end of class. Plus, you know Professor Kim is really lenient. He'll probably give us more time if we tell him we were unable to complete it."

Without responding, you glance over at the man sitting at the professor's desk at the front of the classroom. You know full well just how lenient Professor Kim is. Unbeknownst to anyone, you're already quite familiar with the broad-shouldered man, having met him last semester as you bumped into him while walking to a cafe after class. Aside from his undeniably handsome features, you had easily spotted him walking in the courtyard, dressed in his business formal attire, the standard dress code for all professors in your master's program. Normally, you wouldn't have given the professors a second glance after politely smiling at them. However, this man's young age had instantly caught your attention. It was clear he was just starting his first job in academia after obtaining his doctorate.

To your luck, the handsome professor seemed to have taken notice of you as well. He ended up walking to the same cafe and stood right in front of you in line. To your surprise, when it was your turn to order, the barista had giddily told you, "The cute professor ahead of you paid for your order." When you glanced over at the said male, he was already watching you with a small smile curling on his lips.

When you walked over to thank the older male, he had introduced himself as Kim Seokjin and not as Dr. Kim, the silent greenlight you were waiting for. Needless to say, the two of you spent around an hour chatting in the cafe afterward and agreed to meet for coffee again a few additional times before Seokjin finally asked you on a date a couple of weeks later. Now, you're nearly five months into the relationship, and just as fate would have it, you were assigned by your program to take one of his classes.

Your gaze zeroes in on the pretty silk tie sitting perfectly around Seokjin's neck. When he finally notices your gaze on him, he looks up and meets your eyes before flashing you a small smile. Little does your friend know that it's that exact silk tie that's causing the sore feelings in your wrists today.

Happy Monday, Dalgis! How'd y'all like this week's imagine? I felt a little giddy just thinking about Jin teaching as a professor lol. 

Please keep in mind that this imagine kinda borders on a very sensitive topic. I want to be 100% clear that in this imagine, the relationship is 100% consensual between the professor and the student and it did not form within an academic setting. In our normal lives, if you, or someone you know, are being pressured by a professor into any non-academic situation that makes you uncomfortable, please reach out to someone you can trust. Especially if the professor is threatening your academic performance in exchange for sexual favors, or even if they are making comments about your appearance - these are all considered harassment. There's a lot more that goes into sexual harassment in an academic setting (and in general) so please consider looking into this topic if you think you or someone you know have experienced this. Getting help is always the hardest part and your feelings and emotions are always valid.

As always, I hope you're staying safe, happy, and healthy! I love you all so much 💗

Until next week,
