Love ain't a Science! - TWICE Nayeon x Male reader

Prologue: The Story Begins

"Who knew a man could be so unforgiving?"

"Is he even human?"

"He looked so nice, I didn't expect him to be this cruel..."

"I knew this class is something I'd regret."

These are the cries of some students after seeing the results of their finals. It was a calculus class, regarded as one of the hardest units to take in the university. While calculus is hard in it itself, there was one more thing making it the class students dread the most... It was the professor.

"I don't give you your grades. You give your grades to me and I compute it for you."

These words echoed among the students in the class. They thought of it as a cruel reminder of what the world is like after college. A reminder that life will always give you troubles even if you do your best.

"For the eighth semester in a row, your class yet again has the lowest passing rate." Jihyo, a physics professor, said to the guy considered a student's worst nightmare.

"Ms. Park, I would appreciate it if you mind your own class... Besides, my students aren't kids anymore. They knew what was coming when they enrolled." The man sternly said to his colleague.

"I would also appreciate it if you don't speak to me like that, Mr. L/n. Are you forgetting we've been friends since grade school?" Jihyo remarked as she let out a chuckle.

"Fine, let's get lunch? My treat." Y/n said as Jihyo smiled.

The no-nonsense, never-smiling professor, Y/n L/n, is an enigma of sorts. Many professors praise him for being strict with the students while some dislike that about him, considering his methods too strict. He's cold to many people, professors and students alike. But to a few, and by few meaning Jihyo, he's considered a reliable friend.

Y/n and Jihyo walked to the university canteen and met up with Dahyun, a colleague from another department.

"Here, Y/n, Jihyo!" Dahyun exclaimed as the duo went to the table and sat down.

Jihyo smirked, "Pay up, Dahyun. I won the bet."

Dahyun sighed in defeat.

"Really? Y/n's class again has the lowest passing rate?" Dahyun said as she got money in her wallet and gave it to Jihyo.

"Are you guys really making bets on how I handle my class?" Y/n sighed.

"Yes!" Both said as the two of them laughed.

While eating, Dahyun brought out a topic unknown to Y/n.

"So, I heard your department is looking for a new chemistry professor." Dahyun stated as Jihyo nodded.

"It's the first time I heard of this..." Y/n said to the girls.

"That's because you don't talk to the other professors." Jihyo said as Dahyun laughed.

"Anyways, the new professor is a close friend of mine! Yeah, I'm so updated even though it's not in my department. Do take care of her for me, will you?" Dahyun followed up.

"Alright! I'll help her with the ropes." Jihyo said as Y/n sighed.

"Can you also help her, Y/n? She's not new to the job, the same age as us and also got her doctorate in the same timeframe as us. I know you're very particular about that, after all." Dahyun said.

"We'll see, I hate meeting new people. Another round of first impressions..." Y/n sighed.

"I tell you, you're gonna like her..." Dahyun laughed as if she knew Y/n's not gonna like the new professor.
