#133 "Love starts When..." (part 5)

Have you ever experienced standing on stage, spotlights are on you as well as those people eyes judging your whole self?

Did you feel nervous and anxious?

That's what I am feeling right now.

I was walking, not on the stage, but in the school's hallway, wondering why everyone's gaze are on me.

There is a saying, "One lucky moment, can bring unfortunate things."

While in the midst of enjoying my soon to be happy ending love story, the storm is about to come.

"Tell us it wasn't true that you and teacher MInghao are dating!" A bunch of sophomore girl students shouted after blocking my way.

Their ranges was surprising, but I was more shocked by the news they have said.

"T-Teacher and I... are not dating," I denied.

"Then tell them that it wasn't true! Tell them that it wasn't true that teacher kissed you!"

I frozed.

I couldn't even blink.

My mind went blank.

I was afraid that everyone in my school found out about my secret feelings to our own teacher. It was wrong; dating and loving a teacher and WRONG. What will I do? What if everyone found out about teacher kissing me yesterday?

I wish it was all  nightmare, but this is the reality I must accept.

"If you tell them it wasn't true, then teacher won't get suspended," they added in worried tone.

S-Suspended?!

"Wait, t-teacher Minghao is about to get suspend?!" I gasped.

"Yes!" they exclaimed. " So tell them now! You aren't on any relationship with him right? Right?!"

I don't know.

I mean... I do like him. He even kissed me yesterday. But that doesn't mean that we are officially dating. And... and... What should I do? I couldn't even utter words to say.

Please.

Please let someone save me from this mess.

Ple--

"Teacher is my uncle," someone said behind my back.

I looked back and saw my friend, Seungkwan, standing behind me with those serious stare I rarely see.

"(y/n) is my closest friend. Teacher, my uncle is close to (y/n) because we are relatives. That's the fact. And about the kiss, maybe they just saw it wrong, whoever they are," Seungkwan said and made me feel at ease.

"How can we sure that you are not telling a lie?" they asked.

Seungkwan suddenly wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer; more closer as I feel my body pressed against his. "(y/n) is my girlfriend," he muttered.

What?!

My eyes widened, as well as those spectators listening around us.

"Woah, daebak,"  they gasped

"Should I kiss her to prove that she is mine?" he added.

My heart beats faster! Worries build in my mind. Should I act with him? Just for teacher's sake? But what if this lead to more unfortunate consequences in the future?

While I am in the middle of processing the entire possible scenes in my head, Seungkwan cupped my cheeks and tilted his head, leaning closer as I think, he is going to kiss me.

Ugh! Whatever!

I shut my eyes close, hands are clenched,  waiting for something unexpected to happen.

"Teacher Minghao!" someone shouted that made us halted.

I opened my eyes and saw Teacher standing from afar, looking at Seungkwan as they both exchanging stranged stare to each other.

"Teacher you are not dating (y/n) right? Right?" the students asked him.

At last, he looked at me.

Cold.

His stare is cold as in ice.

And then he answer, "How can I date her? She is my student. Besides, she is Seungkwan's girlfriend. As his uncle, that would be weird. Huh. Don't spread fake news you bunch of idiots," he said and chuckled.

The students around us held their chest in relief. Teacher smiled slightly on me before he walked away, passing my direction.

What... was that?

I know, nothing good will happen if he say that... that... there is something between us. However, I was expecting he will say yes. That he will defend me, that we will fight together.

It hurts, so hurts I couldn't stop my tears from falling.

I lifted my head and Seungkwan saw my tears. Afraid that I might get caught by others, Seungkwan mouthed: "Yah, don't cry! What will they think if they saw you crying?!"

I bit my lower lip and mouthed: "It hurts. I can't stop it. Help me."

When the students are about to look at my way...

Seungkwan...

...

Cupped my cheeks...

...

and KISSED ME.
