The Teacher [KimCop]

Chapter 1

Kimmon

I'm Kimmon Varodom, 27, a high school literature teacher and single.
It is not that I complain or anything, in fact I have a good life, a stable job, health, I can not say that I am a much young man but I am not an old man either, I have my freedom and ... a broken heart.
The boy I was in love with graduated and I will not be able to see him more.
That's right, he was one of my students, a boy, many years younger than me. Even with all those points against, I could not help falling in love with him.
Despite never telling him that I loved him, I already knew he would be rejected me, he already had someone much more important than me in his heart.
Sometimes, I wonder what would have happened if I had confessed my feelings, could he have chosen me?
I can not keep thinking about these things anymore, I'm ready to give up, it's time to move on.

"Kimmon?! I can not believe it"
"Hey Tae, it's been a while" I greeted my old friend as I sat next to him at the bar he used to come to before meeting the boy who stole my heart.
"Pretty much time would I say. Where have you been?"
"I had a lot of work and the truth is that I had no interest in getting a couple"
"Oh so now you're interested?" Tae asked funny.
"Maybe," I answered indifferently.
"So you finally decided to surrender with that boy?"
I brought a glass of alcohol to my lips, because I really did not know what to answer my friend, of course I had decided to give up, there is no point fighting for something that has no future, but I would not know if I could really forget it.
"Why do you worry so much about my love life, what about  your own relationship?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"Hey if I did not take care of my relationship I would not be here now" Tae said with a shy smile.
"look at yourself, you look like a kid in love" I mocked him.
"I think the same, is not it cute?" A voice says from behind us.
"Tee darling, were you spying on us?" Tae asks embarrassed.
"Of course not, I just saw you talking to Kim and I wanted to come and greet him, since it's been a while since we saw his face around here" replies Tee with a half smile.
"Oh no, you're also going to scold me for not coming lately? I already had to put up with your boyfriend's scolding"I joked with Tee.
"Well, you should understand, he was very bored when you were not here, and still he keeps coming every day" Tee sighed making me laugh.
"Hey, I have to come, otherwise who's going to take care of you?" Tae defended himself with a pout.
"Love, I'm old enough to take care of myself"
"It's not true, you're so cute that everyone is going to want to steal from you"
I kept watching the couple argue in front of me with a smile, they were always like that, they have been together for two years, Tee is the bartender of this place, I remember how Tae fell in love with him at first sight and since then we always came here, while Tae was trying to flirt with Tee. I used to look for someone to hang out with, and that ended as soon as I fell in love with my student. And here we go again, once again I begin to remember.
I guess it will not be easy for me and to make the situation worse my dear friends do not stop flirting in front of me. It should not be long before they begin to kiss. Maybe I should look for a partner for tonight after all.
I look around and there is really nobody to call my attention, maybe it's because I'm still comparing my old love with everyone, God I just want to be able to move forward and be happy, I think I deserve it. I have already suffered a lot
When I begin to feel that coming here was a waste of time, my eyes settle on a boy sitting just a few tables apart from me. How is it possible that I have not noticed it before? Are very similar.
This guy is really cute, he easily stands out from the crowd, just like "he" did. But there is something that differentiates them, the things that had me fallen in love with my student were his smile and his innocent eyes that seemed brighter than the sun, this boy instead has a lost look, sad eyes, although he had a stoic expression to see him It gave me a feeling of loneliness, and I saw myself reflected in him.
Before I knew it, I was walking towards him, ignoring my friends completely.
When he noticed my presence he looked up and the moment our eyes met, I felt lost in the deep brown of his gaze, and then I knew, at least for today he could help me forget.
"Hi," I greeted him sitting next to him.
"Hello" he returned my greeting after studying my face for a few minutes.
"I'll buy you a drink" I offered him and then he did something that I think will be stored in my memory forever, he smiled at me, revealing some beautiful and sweet dimples in his cheeks.
"Thank you," he told me while I was still trying to compose myself of his bright smile.
