Chase the Wolf: Not Today: Act 1, Scene 2

She's a dangerous woman,
the kind that plays with fire
and with such wilderness in her heart.
So many men who try to tame her always fail,
for they never understood
that the forest in her was sown from the start.
In the moonlight alone her secret is revealed,
she has the spirit of a wolf
that belongs only to herself,
to the earth
and to the dark.

Nikita Gill

Risqué.
Anyone who would view her half-done painting would describe it that way. Risqué, yet beautiful and intimidating. An art. Just like her.

It was the second day of Mr. Byun's erotica art class, if you must call it as that. A few words may have come out that Mr. Byun was running such class with the amount of students who flocked in for today's class. It was a full room, with some students standing inside as spectators not until he kicked them out of his class. But today, he decided to stay and watch his class.

Lisa, on the other hand was far more comfortable than yesterday's session. Maybe her little escapade helped her loosen up.

She was doing gentle strokes, creating intricate details onto her painting. It was her style; sharp and crisp, making her paintings come alive. Her painting was close to being done. It was a real copy of the models' dramatic poses. It was of Jennie being laid down on the small couch with her hands stretched out above her head and legs hooked on Taehyung's shoulders who was sitting up and marvelling her body with his hands.

She added more details onto her painting, she dipped her brush onto two contrasting colours she hasn't played on before, it was a bold move of her.

To her surprise, someone held her hand as she was stroking the new colours she just mixed. She cracked her head to the right, it was Mr. Byun guiding her hand in painting. Her face instantly turned into a slight pink. She was blushing. Maybe the fact that he was leaning in quite close to her or just that the gesture was romantic. Just like a love scenario only pictured in movies. She dismissed the idea and turned her attention back to her painting.

"Never knew this mix of colours would work. Good job, Lisa.", he said as he let go of her hand together with the brush and patted her shoulder before leaving onto the next student. She nodded at his compliment, a small smile evident on her face.

It was only her who was left inside the classroom aside from the teacher. Everyone quickly dispersed as soon as the class ended. But Lisa on the other hand was taking her sweet time arranging her brushes and station neatly, her OCD kicking in.

Mr. Byun was ready to go out and call it a day but he saw Lisa was still lingering in the room.

"Class has ended, Lisa.", He called her out. She looked up and saw him coming her way. "I'm aware of that, sir. I was cleaning my brushes.", she told him.

He was intently watching her. "Why are you still taking my class, Lisa?", he asked carefully.

"I believe you have applied to all of my classes for the past years, even if you're done all your needed extra credentials? How is that so?", one of his hands was latched onto her easel as he was looking down at her.

"I enjoy art. I enjoy your classes, Mr. Byun.", she said unwavering, pausing between sentences. It is true, it is one of her hobbies. It is were she relieve her stress from home.

"I won't be surprised if you have mastered all my lessons by now. Are you sure that's your reason?", there was a playful look lingering on his eyes.

"Are you sure it's not because you want to see me everyday? You know how some of the students were. I won't deny the fact that I'm quite young and good looking as a teacher.", his eyes crinkled as he playfully teased her, also laughing at his remark. His laugh was very manly.

When he, Byun Baekhyun to be exact, first came to their school, all the female students were flocking and getting all his attention. It was something new to their school, a fresh graduate, a young and good looking man as a teacher. The faculty were at first skeptical on hiring him, afraid he might cause a scandal for the school. But reaching his five years of teaching now, there was none reported. He has a clean plate ahead of him.

Her face flushed pink at his remark. But she brushed it off and giggled knowing he has a knack for joking.

"You sure know how to make jokes. Maybe you can answer your own question, Mr. Byun."

"My students know me too well now. No fun.", he grunted and dramatically slumped his shoulders.

They both laughed, heartily.

But their laughters were soon cut short when someone faked a cough to get their attention. They both whipped their heads at the intruder lingering by the door.

"Just forgot my phone.", it was a male student. He was eyeing them as he was walking down to his station as the two were both rooted at their places following all his movement.

"Have a goodnight.", the student waved his retrieved phone before he gave them one last look which can pass as a glare. Almost like, "I'm watching you two.". None of the two noticed it.

"Goodnight, you too.", Mr. Byun quickly chirped in before the student had disappeared from the door.

"I-i..I guess I... need to g-o too.", she was stammering to God knows why. She hastily cleared and packed her things and headed for the door.

"Are you okay, Lisa?", he asked her as soon as he heard her sudden change in voice, his hand was latched onto her wrist stopping her from quickly leaving the room.

But the said girl just had her head down, subtly nodding to his query before completely leaving the room.

He was confused to her sudden changed of demeanour. She looked very lost. He just shrugged it off and left the room soon after.

He was clueless.
