Jongin thought that Jihyo would keep quiet.
But that wasn't her, "I'm not a high school student anymore ma'am, I'm currently their teacher."
"A-ah," the lady acted out as the man with her kept quiet, "how is Jongin doing in your class?"
"Um, how did you know he's in my class? I never mentioned anything about him being in my cla-" Jihyo asked, confused.
"Stop bullying the young lady, Sarang. It's nice to see you again Raewon." An old mad steps in and everybody bows, with the exception of Jihyo and Jongin.
The old man discreetly nears his mouth onto his daughter's ear and whispered angrily, "I can't believe you had somebody spy on the young lady!"
"Hal-abeujiiii~" Jongin's aegyo suddenly came out for everyone to see.
He didn't care though. He walked over to his grandpa and hugged him.
Once they let go, Jaesuk smiled at Jihyo. Of course she smiled back.
Everybody greeted the elderly one by one, Baekhyun being the loudest as usual.
"Jaesuk-sunbaenim!" Baekhyun excitedly hugs the old man.
When it was Jihyo's turn, she was about to lend her hand out to shake, only to be surprised because Jaesuk hugged her.
"Ahh! Appa!" The lady called Sarang whined, all her lady like features disappeared in an instant.
"Chagiya." The man named Raewon holds his wife's arm.
"O-omo. They're your parents?" Jihyo asks Jongin in a sudden realization.
"Unfortunately." Jongin answers, avoiding eye contact with anybody.
"Jongin! Don't you dare start n-" Sarang was cut off by Jihyo.
"Don't talk about your parents like that." Jihyo angrily scolds, shocking the bystanders as she easily makes Jongin nod.
"Uwaaa! I like her. I like her a lot." Jaesuk claps his hands.
"A-ah, mianhae Jaesuk-ssi." Jihyo apologizes, realizing the situation.
"Gwenchanha Jihyo-ah, call me hal-abeuji as well." Jaesuk assures, making Jihyo blush at the elder's boldness, "but the real reason I came here was to get Jongin-ah and discuss some important matters."
Jongin nods, knowing well that this could not wait until later.
"Can I expect all the hyungs to keep Jihyo-nuna company?" He asks the three who were happily watching Jaesuk accept Jihyo into the family, surprising Jihyo as he suddenly became respectful towards her.
"Leave it to us Kai." Baekhyun answers coolly, after Jongin and Jaesuk walks awsy, Baekhyun walks over beside Jihyo, "would nuna like to dance?"
"I-I don't know how to dance." Jihyo shyly says, Krystal scoffing at her.
"Don't worry, I'll teach you. So when Kai asks you later, he can't tease you anymore." Baekhyun lends Jihyo his hand and Jihyo takes it.
"Well, excuse us." Baekhyun politely excuses them and they both gracefully walked to the dance floor.
Baekhyun places one of Jihyo's hand on his shoulder, and grabs her other on his hand. And places his other hand on her waist.
"O-omo." Jihyo says in shock.
"Waeyo?" Baekhyun looked shocked as well.
"I've never done too much skinship, but I guess it's fine." She says, determined to learn how to dance.
"Uwaa, so cute. Kai-ssi is so lucky to have you." Baekhyun suddenly blurts out.
"E-eh? I'm not his girlfriend." Jihyo states.
"Soon to be?" Baekhyun asks, shocked.
"Aniyaa." Jihyo clearly answers.
"But, he was living with you for months."
"Because of a condition," Jihyo reveals to the clueless man in front of her, "At one point I even remember him saying he doesn't want to go home until 'they're' still there. Do you know who 'they' are?"
Baekhyun only looks away.
"A-ah, it's okay if nobody wants to tell." Jihyo says, panicking that she might have made the mood awkward.
Baekhyun looks at her, and he suddenly laughs.
"Uwaaa. What's so funny?" Jihyo asks, panicking more.
"It's just.. you're face just now was so priceless... pfft." He continues laughing.
"Ya! You want to fight?" Jihyo tightens her grip on his shoulder and hand as they continue to dance.
"Ow, ow!" Baekhyun winces and Jihyo loosens her grip, "puhahaha! I really like nuna. So I'll tell you."
Jihyo looks at him, waiting for an answer.
Baekhyun suddenly turns serious, "the people he calls 'they' or 'them' is his parents."
"B-bwoyah?" Jihyo asked, she wasn't that surprised anymore since she saw his attitude with them earlier.
"Kai has never really felt a connection with his parents since they're always away to work and he never gets what he wants. He's more close to Jaesuk-sunbaenim." Baekhyun explains.
And then he sees Jihyo look down, she was thinking. More like worrying about what Jongin is feeling right now.
Jihyo suddenly looks up as both of her cheeks were getting pinched, "Ya! Ya! Ya!" She screams in anger as she felt her cheeks stinging.
"You shouldn't be feeling down nunaaaa~ puhaha~" he states, letting go from pinching her cheeks and goes to squeeze her whole face and laughing more.
Jongin came back and saw that Jihyo and Baekhyun wasn't on the table from earlier while the rest still was.
"Kyungsoo-hyung, where is she?" Jongin says, trying his best not to look panicked.
"Ah, she's dancing with Baekhyun." Kyungsoo nonchalantly says, taking a sip of his non-alcoholic punch.
Jongin quickly searched for them and saw them laughing on the dancefloor. Without thinking twice, he spedwalk towards them and grabbed Jihyo away from his hyung.
He silently dragged her our of the hall to the balcony and closed the door behind them, locking in the loud booming of the songs.
"Why did you drag me out here in the cold Jongin?" Jihyo asked, a blank look in her face while she continued to stare at her student's back.
He didn't want to look at her, or else all his anger would fade away in an instant. "baekhyun-hyung... isn't he just slick?"
Jihyo heard jealousy drip from every word he said and fought her urge to laugh, "are you jealouuus?" She playfully says.
"Yes I am." Jongin faces her, her face turns serious. "I like you Jihyo!"
"B-bwoyah?" She heard him loud and clear yet she was out of words.
"You heard me. I like you." Jongin repeats.
"Puhahaha." Jihyo laughs, playfully patting him on his shoulder. "How come you're not calling me ahjumma anymore?"
Jongin didn't answer, if she wouldn't accept it in words. He knew he should show it in actions. And yes, he kissed her.
At first, her eyes were wide open when his flesh first touched hers. But then she closed her eyes and accepted the gesture. She felt butterflies in her stomach, excitement pouring out.
And then she realized what was happening, her eyes wide open. She pushed him away, "m-mianhae."
"Ah, no. Mianhae."
