"Why, Miss Kim, you look beautiful as ever today. Who's the lucky guy, huh?" our substitute teacher told me as I went inside the classroom. He's such a flirt, it's making me feel uncomfortable.

I just shook my head and continued to walk past him towards my seat. I kept my head lowered; didn't dare look at him because I know he's shooting suggestive smiles at me again. Can he please just stop?

He's been our substitute teacher for a week now and boy, he flirted with so many girls in that whole week―whether they are teachers or students or just a female―it was inappropriate and also unprofessional. I don't even know why the head of our school didn't fire him on his first day.

Ah, his first day in our school wherein he made inappropriate remarks towards the faculty and the students and yes, they are females―well he also flirted with some gays. He would also touch some of the females― rubbing their arms, their hips, waist, etc. ―without their consent. Anyways, he still wasn't fired for that. I was so angry with the way he treated women. I even wanted to make a petition to fire that pervert teacher if I had the confidence.

The bell rang, signaling that the class was FINALLY over. That means I can now get away from him. Thank you, Lord. 

I immediately gathered my things and was about to get out the door when the devil stopped me. Why am I so unlucky? Did I freaking murder a whole family in my past life? What?

"Miss Kim, can I talk to you?" the devil asked. Ya'll please pray for my soul. I'm suddenly scared.

"Yes, sir?" I nervously replied. I hope my nonexistent karate skills will do me good.

He sauntered towards my way and said, "You really look so good today. I honestly wonder who are you impressing."

I felt my palms getting sweaty and my hands were shaking with nerves. I was so nervous that I didn't even replied.

He continued, "Is he in this school? Or is it a she? I'm really curious. I think you are impressing someone today." He finally stopped in front of me but I was too stunned to even do or say anything. Come on, Jiyeon! Where's the bad bitch in you?

"I-" I was about to reply when someone beat me to it.

"Baby, why are you still there? I was so tired of waiting," a familiar voice interrupted.

I turned my head at the source of the voice and I suddenly wanted to jump and hug him so tight. He walked quickly towards me and held my hand. I didn't even look at the teacher's reaction because who cares about that shitty old man?

I focused my attention at him and how his hand felt against mine.

"Come on, we're gonna be late for our-" he then lifted his gaze towards the you-know-who and said, "Oh! I'm really sorry sir for interrupting. I was waiting outside for thirty minutes so I came her to get Jiyeon because we're going on a date today and we're running late. I hope I didn't disturb something." His voice became firm and clipped when said those words to the um, a-hole. 

The a-hole looked taken aback but still smiled fakely and replied, "No, it's okay. I was just talking about a project to Miss Kim here."

Jimin―yes that's his name―nodded and gave him the same fake smile. He then softly dragged me outside the classroom after he exchanged goodbyes with voldy (short for voldemort).

We continued to walk hand-in-hand silently. We didn't exchange words with each other, just walked towards outside of our school

When we finally arrived outside, he still didn't let go of my hand but I'm not complaining. 

"Thank you so much for saving me from that man today. I really didn't know what I should do back there," I thanked him sincerely. Honestly, I'm against the whole boy saves girl scenario in this society but I was panicking back there so I need to step up and really practice self-defense. 

"Don't worry. I did it to help you from that greasy old man."

"Um, how did you know I was there by the way?" I asked out of pure curiosity. 

"Well, I forgot my notebook there so I came back. But then, I saw him walking towards you in that predator style so I immediately came in and just help you," he answered. 

"Really, thank you so much."

"It's nothing really. If you need to have another fake-boyfriend, I'm up to it," Jimin jokingly said. I shyly laughed at his joke (you can't blame he's one fine man).

After that, we walked in silence. And oh, he still didn't let go of my hand. I think he didn't notice it. Or maybe he did. Or whatever.

"But you know," he faced me and said, "If you also need a real boyfriend, I'm still here." 

Oh, boy my heart fluttered. Jimin smiled shyly at me with his blushing cheeks. I also felt my cheeks burning and I just returned his shy smile. 

How can someone be this beautiful?
