Kim Taehyung

I looked at class before me and sighed. My stomach was turning and I felt sick. "Hello. I'm Kim Taehyung."

"I was born in Daegu and raised in Gochang." I began. I looked around as I keeps speaking. "I enjoy anime, photography, singing, dancing, making coffee, scuba diving, drawing, and playing basketball."

I looked around at my new peers and swallowed hard. This place was huge. I was only 19 and everyone in here already looked like they wanted to eat me alive. Either that or they were staring at my ears. Instinctively, I reached up and covered one, pretending to scratch it.

"Uh. I dont really know what else to say." I confessed.

"That's fine." The professor said, turning around. "Let's see. Where can we put you?"

He scanned the classroom then looked over a chart of some sort. He looked up and shook his head before looking back at the papers. I looked around the room before stuffing my hands in my sweater pockets.

"You can have a seat right next to Min-Hee." He finally said. "Min-Hee. Please stand so he knows who you are."

Near the back corner of the room, a woman stood to her feet. I squeezed my hands into fists in my pocket to stop from making an audible gasp. She was absolutely beautiful. Her dark hair had purple tips that gently faded into her natural color and her skin was flawless. I had to try and not think about her body. I was afraid it would send my thought into an impure place.

I ducked my head and headed to the desk next to hers, setting my bag on the floor. I saw her take a seat once again, watching me. My face grew warm as I sat down and tried to not think about her gaze on me.

"Hey. I'm Jeon Min-Hee." She said.

Her voice wasn't soft, but it was sweet and welcoming. I responded with a weak "hey" before trying to hide my face. I could still feel her staring at me. Was she staring at my ears too? She probably is. I watched as the guy next to her left nudged her and started to tease at her. She let out a quiet giggle before smacking his hands away.

Her boyfriend? Hah. Probably. He was extremely good looking and seemed perfect for her. I sighed softly, suppressing a more disappointed sigh behind it. Not even an hour into my first day and I'm already disappointed with myself. Whatever. I'm here to learn and graduate.

I listened at the professor gave out instructions on the lesson of the day then obediently followed them.

"Oh. And Min-Hee. I'm going to ask you to stay after class to assist Taehyung in whatever he has missed, thus far." He said.

"Yes, sir. Shouldn't take long. I can tell he's a pretty smart kid." She said, smirking and nudging my arm, playfully. "I'll just have him meet back here and I'll let my brother know I'll be late for his tutoring."

Kid? She tutors her brother? She looks younger than me! What is going on in this class!? Whatever! I huffed and ducked my head down, going into the assigned work for the day. I figured it would be better to stay to my work. I need this scholarship.
