Vanquishment (Jinyoung)

Prompt: "You fainted, straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention, you didn't have to go to such extremes."

Park Jinyoung loves his job. Teaching Literature encompasses two things he enjoys the most: teaching and literature. While he knows that some students find it boring, he also receives compliments about how he makes it interesting with his passionate explanations and deep opinions of what could be those classical writers were trying to convey. Maybe the students who say that were just trying to be on Professor Park's good side because he's very strict with grades, but nevertheless, it makes him feel happy that they appreciate his effort to study the topic by heart.

Today is the start of another school year. Most professors only give an orientation about their classroom rules and grading system. Jinyoung, like every year, uses it to know which students like classical lit over modern lit. He starts a debate about it and enjoys watching students try to defend their sides. He won't admit it, but he gets a couple of ideas from the debate which he will later on use when he's in front of Professor Kim Yugyeom, who is willing to sell his soul too to make a good argument. It's a playful battle between them, since they are very close friends, and Professor Kim was his highschool underclassman. But Professor Park still wants to win, no matter how petty the fight is.

"Oh, Jinyoung-ah, good morning!" Professor Wang Jackson from the PE department runs to him with a big grin. Jackson is always excited during the first days because he gets to meet new people.

"Professor Wang, what are you doing in this department?" Jinyoung asks, subtly pointing out the distance Jackson must have traveled. Why would you go to another building just to greet people?

Jackson slings an arm over Jinyoung's shoulder, making the latter wince because he ironed his shirt to perfection. Why does this man have to be so physical? "Don't look now, but I heard that there's a new Modern Lit prof and she's hella cute."

"What happened to Yugyeom?" Jinyoung first thinks, making Jackson frown.

"He said he was planning to study more, write a book or something so he can show you that modern lit can have as good quality as classics."

Jinyoung ponders at this. Did he really push Yugyeom to this length? He's not undermining the younger's talent in writing, since he hasn't read any of his works nor heard that he does actually write, but Jinyoung is a strong patron of classics so there's no way Yugyeom will succeed in convincing him.

"You're missing the point," Jackson snaps. "There's a cute new professor!"

Jinyoung shrugs Jackson's arm off. He straightens his shirt, though it's no use. "I have no interest in someone who thinks adaptations are better than the original."

Jackson makes a face. He never likes arguing with Jinyoung about this. He would never be heard no matter how loud he is. "Fine. You go and be your boring self while I try to get to know some cute girl who probably needs someone to take her around the campus."

Jinyoung rolls his eyes at his disappearing friend. He doesn't bother to look if Jackson finds the new professor. Picking up his class list and practicing his smile, he marches to his classroom.

Jinyoung feels fulfilled that most of his class have good taste. He heard pretty good reasonings for the past hour and when it's obvious that the modern lit lovers are losing, he decides to cut the debate. He's now on his way back to the faculty room.

The door of the classroom he's passing by opens and reveals a pale-looking woman. Jinyoung's instincts tell him to dodge her, because it's obvious they will collide, but realising that she's actually losing conciousness, his arms come forward to catch her. Jinyoung lands on his knees; he swears he doesn't mean to be dramatic. He looks at the woman's face and finds no recognition.
