the first year of teaching, you weren't expecting a chaotic class. being twenty three and well off, the school staff was surprised when they saw a good looking teacher. of course, being an attractive male, rich and single, you weren't surprised when a few slutty teachers tried their best to hit on you. especially when you're at an all-male school and out as homosexual.

seeing a few kids enter the class made your mood lighten. you saw a male with big, round eyes and screaming his lungs out when he saw another student-his friend you assumed. quickly glancing at the two males, you quickly greeted them and went out of the classroom to greet other students and staff.

when you went out, you saw six boys running-racing-to your direction. they stopped when they saw you.

"hello!" the tallest one out of the group greeted. "we are the dreamies!" he pointed to the loud one. "this is chenle. chenle! say hi to mr.-" he blinked

"mr. (l. name)," you ruffled his hair.

"mr. (l. name), meet chenle." he pointed at another male with a cute eye smile. "this is jeno, and the one chasing my other friends is renjun. the tanner one is donghyuck and the other one is jaemin. oh-and, i'm jisung. glad to meet you!"

"nice to meet you all, i'm glad to have you all in my class."

after meeting-and greeting-all twenty one kids, you decided to play an introduction game to get to know your students better. you divided the class into three groups: mark, renjun, dunghyuck, jeno, jaemin, chenle and jisung-the dreamies, as they called themselves. taeyong, jaehyun, jungwoo, johnny, yuta, taeil, doyoung-127 they named their group. yukhei, ten, dejun, kunhang, yangyang, sicheng, and kun, wayv- they called themselves.

you went around and observed them, smiling at their childhood innocence. you got out your polaroid camera and told your class to pose-taking individual pictures of them. after that, you took pictures of them in their group-and finally, as a class.

winter came and you brought your class outside to play in the snow-not before making them dress properly of course-it was a fun day, all of you guys could agree on that. after playing outside, you made hot chocolate for the class and read a story to them.

the end of the school year soon approached, and it was a sad season-not just for you-but to the whole class. taeyong's parents disowned him, not wanting him anymore. not wanting him to go an orphanage you adopted him, wanting the best for the boy. jaehyun and johnny announced that they'll be moving to the states; so you made the last day of school the best for them, wishing them the best and to stay safe. when the school day ended, you gave your student the polaroids-keeping the class one to yourself.

you weren't expecting to get attached to your students; you smiled bitterly as you saw them waving at you, saying their goodbyes and giving hugs to each other. you waved back to them, yelling to have a great summer and to stay safe. you went back to your classroom to see taeyong holding an envelope, once he heard you open the door, he got up and gave the envelope to you.

"open it, dad," he said cutely. you weren't used to him calling you 'dad', but it also made your heart melt when the thought of him seeing you as a father figure. you ruffled the boy's jet black hair and carefully opened the envelope.

seeing what was in it made you cry, you got handwritten letters from your previous students, individual drawings and pictures of themselves. taeyong panicked when he saw you cry, so he quickly ran to you and hugged you.

"d-dad, thank you for everything. you made my first year of school the best year of my life. you took care of me when my parents didn't want me anymore-showering me with the love and affection they never showed. most importantly, thank you for always being there for me. dad, i love you."

you started bawling after taeyong finished his speech. you hugged him tightly, telling him that he was the best thing that ever happened to you, kissing his forehead.
