Chapter 8

Like all good breaks, they come to an end after New Years. New Years was normal for me, just by myself celebrating very little. Taehyung invited me to go to a party but he cancelled last minute because he was busy.

This excuse has been his main reason for a while now, I didn't mind but it got old. If he doesn't want to see me he could just come out and tell me.

I sighed and put my papers in a drawer of my desk. My classroom was finally cleaned out and organized but after a couple short hours of my students back, it was destroyed.

Can't blame them though, they're just children. "Alright kids, let's make necklaces!" I already had all the supplies on each of the tables, the classic macaroni and knit thread. It was the first day and I knew they were as tired as I was.

I went around to each group, telling them how to make the necklace and helping them. I couldn't help but to smile while talking to them, their conversations were so cute.

At last, we had finished our day's activities and the parents had came by to collect their children.

After they were all gone I let out a big sigh. My room was an absolute mess with glue, glitter, macaroni, books, toys, ect.

I was cleaning up one of the tables when I heard a faint knock. Looking over my shoulder I saw Taehyung. His hair was different though, now it was a dark brown with a dash of greenish blue highlights.

He took off his mask and ran over to me, clinging onto me like he's been away for decades.

"Mianhaemianhaemianhaemianhaemianhae-" "I get it.." I said, chuckling. His worried features turned into a big smile and he only hugged me tighter. "It's just so hard to have free time now..." He said lowly.

"Why is it hard Tae?" I tilted my head to the side before sitting him down in one of my students chairs as well as myself.

"I can't tell you...I don't want things to be different with you."

"Tae, I won't think of you any different than I do now, I could care less if you were even secretly a huge idol...just tell me." Giggling softly, I joked about the idol part, that'd be crazy, but I wouldn't care.  His eyes looked away as his shoulders slumped over.

"I dropped out of university."

I looked at him confuesed, "Then how do you not have any time?" Okay, so what if he dropped out?

"That's something I can't tell you."

I sighed, rubbing my face with my palms. "Alright, I won't question you anymore..." Something was off, I could tell just by women's intuition.

A couple seconds of silence passed over before he got up. "Are you leaving?"

He shook his head and started to pick up the loose items on the floor. A small smile made it's way to my face. I got up as well, helping him clean up and we finished off by vacuuming.

"All done~" He smiled proudly at my now spotless room. "We did a good job." I nodded, looking around. I grabbed my coat and the rest of my belongings before asking the little man kid, "Would you like to go out for dinner?"

Taehyung's face went from proud to upset. "I can't risk being seen with you...." This statement seemed to have slipped out of his mouth but it shocked me.

"Alright I get it." I sort of snapped and made my way out of my classroom and into the hall. "Ella! Wait!" At least he cared to come after me.

I sighed, stopping in my tracks and turning around. "What?" He caught up, holding my shoulders and breathing heavily.

"You. Forgot. Your. Phone." He panted in-between each word. "Thanks." I grabbed my phone and turned back on my heel, slightly pissed.

"Ella, that's not it." He came up behind me and grabbed my wrist, pulling me into the empty classroom. "What the he–" I started saying in English before he pulled me foreword, smashing his cold lips on mine. My eyes widened, but surely they started to flutter shut as I melted into his dumb charm.

It wasn't long after till we parted, his forehead on mine as I looked up at him. "What the hell was that for?" "Ssh. Just let me hug you and explain." His arms wrapped around me, we were almost cuddling but standing up.

"I really, really, really like you...like like you...and it's hard because they won't let me date you...and if I'm caught in public with you, than they'll find out and I don't want you to go through anything like that..." Taehyung said, letting out a soft sigh at the end. "Just tell me..." I mumbled softly against his chest.

"I can't...you'll be mad at me...and you'll ignore me and I don't want you to do that..."

"I won't do that, I like you too." I looked up and him, causing him to grin widely. "Ah you'll find out soon, I have a plan now!" He squealed, lifting me above the ground and kissing my cheeks.

"Aish, you're like a puppy!" I scrunched my nose, giggling at his soft kisses. "I know!" He only bursted into chuckled before setting me down.

Some Korean trot song started to play randomly until I realized it was Taehyung's phone ringing. As I giggled, he answered it, suddenly getting a tired expression. "Yes?" He sighed. "I'm at my dad's school. Now? Alright, I'll be there in a second." He hung up his phone with an upset look.

"I understand, go ahead..." I gave him a reassuring smile before he nodded in thanks before rushing out the door. But in a couple seconds, Taehyung came rushing back, grabbing my cheeks and kissing me. A little smile was on my face before I started to kiss him back, letting him know it was going to be okay. Pulling my head away, I looked up in his eyes.

"Go..." I kissed his lips once more before he opened the door. "I'll see you soon Cinderella~"

I rolled my eyes with a grin, sliding down the wall once he left.

Maybe his secret is the he really is Prince Charming....
