Mr. Kim's Secret ✔️

31

"Y/N, please stop apologizing. You're not the one to apologize at the moment," he sighs

That's the moment you realize how close he was to you, to the point the smell of coffee from his breath was the air around you. You didn't mind at all, maybe you've started to like coffee or maybe you're way too deep in him with no way out

Your mind is on fire, there's a part of you telling you to push him and run away because he's not good for your heart. There's another part of you, the majority of you that wants to pull him close and put your lips on his, to see how he'd react to that

He's bandaged the wound. For a split moment, yours eyes decided to play a trick on you when he was staring at you longer than he should. And then his eyes went to your lips. He looks away as if that never happened so your eyes are just playing tricks on you- yes, you try to convince yourself....

You stared into my soul too long for someone who wasn't trying to find himself in me

"Now wait for me at the table, I'll come back to you after cleaning the kitchen" he says, abandoning you

Again you obey him, your hand numb and you feel as lightheaded as ever. You didn't even lose that much blood, yet it feels as though you're floating in air.

And yes, you bump your head in the door on your way back because someone decided to distract you by leaving the room but not your head

He sits in front of you like he always did

"Now, you need to take as much rest as you can today, got it ?" He asks

You nod furiously.

"As soon as reach the hall, inhale and exhale for 5." He says

If only you could inhale his scent, all your worries will evaporate. Whether the smell of coffee or his floral colonge, it's all too calming

"Read the question thoroughly and carefully before you pick up you pen and try to save times on the first ones. You don't know when you go short on time, okay ?" He says

He glares you, you know this glare, he wants you to say

"Okay," you say

"When you go home from here, organise all the things you'll need tomorrow and even the formulas you need to revise." He say

You nod again

"I know you're feeling nervous but it's very natural, we all feel nervous before exam. Just remember, even the ones who look like they'd ace it are nervous " he say

Your eye go animicaly wide

"Confidence is the key, you've gotta believe in yourself" he says

"And I believe in you" he adds

"Do you ever feel nervous?" You ask, you are nervous right now when your hands sweat like no tomorrow

"Of course, I'm no super hero" he laughs

"But you're good at everything. You're good at maths, you're good at broadcasting and you even have sense of style. There's nothing you could possibly be bad at" you blurt out only to realise after a moment, that you've said too much

"I'm a Jack of all trades and master of none. " He laughs

He looks flustered, the rush of blood in his cheeks don't go unseen by you. Maybe the mention of broadcast could be the reason

Yourself are blushing, you were sure

"Nope, a master of everything " You correct "You could never do something wrong "

"Here, take a look at this book" he says going inside in if those rooms

You remember that he forbade you to snoop around but you know today is an exception, maybe because it's your last day as his student

You follow him into a room, it's dark brown with huge shelves. It's his personal library, it's no shock, he's the kind of person who loves books.

You've always seen him in the college library

You enter the dimly lited room, just enough light to make out the names of the books and not read.

There is a desk that's too small for two people to sue at the same time, maybe that's why he taught you at the dining table...

"This book, helps you build - "  he stops in mid sentence

"Watch out, Y/N" he says

But it's too late, you've got your foot tangles in the wires of the laptop.

You end up losing your balance, you close your eyes anticipating a fall. When you don't fall, you shoot your eyes open

It's his eyes staring straight at you, he's holding you by your waist.

Your heart wouldn't stop thumbing, you brain goes haywire.

"I told you to be careful" he says

"It's my last day here, can I ask for something?" You ask

"What is it?" Hi breathy voice makes you melt like a puddle in his arms

"Can I kiss you?" You ask
