Lesson in Desire

chapter 1

The crisp in the autumn air is settled around, Ber months has started as the fall embrace us. Finally the second last semester is here. Fall always brings a melancholic nostalgia within me and I'm as always unable to desper in words.

I have grown up. I often think about my little self, how I used to say in school, 'oh it's still a long way for me to go', and now I'm just couple of months away from completing all my Alma mater. Then I will be a master graduate.

"Bye Momma". I said mumbling while leaving the house for university. I usually walk to the campus as I live near it. Sometimes when I'm not in mood of walking I take a bus other than that I love to take fresh morning air and sunlight embracing me.

The roads were decorated with autumn leaves. With every step forward, the leafs would come beneath my boots giving out a crunch sound. As I reached the gate, I walked inside the campus, after giving my greetings to the guard, I walked past the main entrance to the left.

As someone who's major is theatre and films, who's always fond of art and history, literature and music, classical instruments and languages, I hate how I'm equally bombarded with mathematics all throughout my career.

I hate it how this subject always get on my nerves. Like okay I understand why I have to study this in order to get more understanding of cinematography and filmography but what I despise the most it never understanding in the first place. I always had have to call for a help.

Entering inside the class I walked up the stairs to last row. Just then my favourite person walks in. Our eyes met and we instantly smile towards eachother. She walked towards me and sit beside me. As we share a warm hug.

"Sharon. Oh how badly I had missed you."

"Same here Y/N. I have been waiting for months to meet up."

We broke the hug and glance eachother breaking into a chuckle. I opened my mouth to speak to her just then the professor walks in. I looked at Sharon as she looked at me. And we both looked ahead of the teacher walking towards the podium.

Dressed in a long brown overcoat with black turtleneck and straight pants tucked inside with a belt with Gucci symbol on it. A pair of black square spectacles resting on his nose bridge. Fluffy black hair almost a mullet length pushed backed exposing his forehead. Honey brown skin tone complementing his look.

Whole classroom was silent. Girls mostly exchanging looks with eachother, whispering and smiling by looking at the professor as he examines the classroom. His eyes observing everyone as he leans on the podium with resting hands.

His eyes met mine and he locks the contact between. A second passed in as he breaks the contact and stands erectly. I breath out the air I have been holding in because of the intense stare. Sharon shook my hand bringing me out of my reverie.

"Attention class. I'm your new maths professor, Kim Taehyung."

The classroom erupted in a flurry of whispers and excited glances as he made the announcement. It was not making sense to me. Like why are they excited over a maths teacher?! Are they okay in their heads??! But before the chatter could spread, his deep voice echoes in the classroom.

"Enough!". He said, his eyes sweeping through the room, restoring the order with a single word.

He walks towards the board. From the left corner he picked the chalk box and picked up a chalk and starts to scribble on the board.

"Open up your textbooks to chapter 13, and read the overview and look through the examples. I will call out anyone of you to come and solve a question on the board."
