He Was My Student [[KTH]] ✔️

THIRTEEN

I didn't want to go to school. It felt like I was a teenager again not wanting to face the bullies I went to school with. But the bully was my boyfriend and he was my boss. I had to force myself to get up in the morning and go to work. I hadn't said a word to Jin and even when he said bye to me, I ignored him and walked into my form.

Taehyung smiled softly at me and then he frowned as I walked further into the classroom. I dropped my bag onto the table and I jumped when he tapped me.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah," I said, "Sorry. I didn't sleep well last night,"

"Why?"

"I don't know," I said and I forced a smile "It's fine. I've had my coffee and I will wake up sooner or later. Did you manage to get any work marked?"

"I finished it," He said, "Hana, are you sure you are ok?"

"I'm just tired," I said, as our form started to walk into class "Tuck your shirt in and spit the gum into the bin,"

"I'm chewing my tongue, Miss Yoon," Jeno pouted and tried to act cute for me.

"Spit the gum out," I said.

"Shit," He said and spat the gum into the bin "That normally works. Are you not feeling well today?"

"Maybe her boyfriend kept her up all night if you get what I mean?" Jaehyun muttered under his breath and his friends laughed, thinking I couldn't hear what he said. He was wrong. 

"And you just earned yourself detention, Jaehyun," I said, glaring at him. His eyes widened slightly but he nodded before sitting down. The boys kept their voices quiet as the spoke to each other and a group of girls came in.

They said good morning and skipped to their table before chatting with each other. When everyone was in, I took the register and told them to stand up. They all frowned but did what they were told.

"Your skirts are too short," I said, "I know that I normally let you get away with it, but that length is ridiculous. Unroll them please and tuck your shirt in,"

The form started to mumble about me being in a bad mood but I didn't pay any attention. I didn't want to take my bad mood out on them because they were just being teenagers.

"Lucas," I said, "Put your phone away before I make you read out what you are typing,"

"It's away!" He said shoving the phone into his pocket "I promise I won't do it again,"

"Rose, the same can be said for you. Phone away please," Taehyung said and Rose pouted before dropping her phone into her bag.

"Carry on with your talking but make sure it doesn't get too loud. Ok?" I said smiling at them and I sat down, looking over my next lesson plan.

"Miss Yoon?" Jaehyun said and I looked up "I'm sorry. For what I said,"

"It's fine but maybe you should think before you speak," I said.

He sighed "I know but it slipped out and I didn't think you would hear it. I'm sorry,"

"It's alright. You can sit back down now,"

"Do I-"

"Still have detention?" I asked, cutting him off "Of course. For that comment and for starting a fight in your last lesson yesterday. Ah, but that face you thought I didn't know about it. Well, I do and I am not happy"

Jaehyun bit into his bottom lip and dragged himself back to his seat. His friends punched him in the arm and the bell rang. They grabbed their things and they rushed out heading to their first class. I grabbed my bag and Taehyung followed me from the room.

We walked in silence to the science block and our class were standing outside getting ready to learn. It was my youngest class and they still hadn't reached the stage of not wanting to learn and I was looking forward to a class that would do as they were told.

"Alright, get your books out and we will carry on with learning about the heart," I said, "And Siyeon you can sit at the front again please. I don't want you to complain that you can't see the board,"

She smiled and skipped to the front and got comfortable.

I was glad when the class ended and I had a free lesson. I made my way to the office and I dropped onto my chair, running my hand through my hair. I closed my eyes and winced as I put my hand to my cheek. I wasn't sure if it actually hurt or it was from the memory of being slapped.

"Hana?"

I jumped at Taehyung's voice "Yes? Sorry. I was in a world of my own,"

"Are you free to talk?"

I nodded "Yeah. I am. How can I help?"

"I was thinking that you come with me and the boys on Friday," He said "It's not a date,"

I lifted my eyebrow "I didn't say anything,"

"Oh," Taehyung said "I have to say something. Um, for kissing you back when I was your student. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have forced myself onto you and I realised that it was the wrong thing to do. I'm sorry,"

"It's...well, thank you for saying sorry," I said quietly, "But I've forgiven you for that. You were a teenager and obviously couldn't control those urges"

Taehyung sent me a box grin and I felt the heat rising to my cheeks "I'm glad we can talk like this. It makes me happy to know that you have forgiven me,"

I smiled slightly "I don't tend to hold grudges"

"Did you want me to take the next lesson?" Taehyung asked, "You can stay in here and sleep. I can handle the year 10's."

I tilted my head slightly "They are the hardest class to teach. I couldn't let you teach them without me. I'd feel bad,"

"Hana, please. Just take it easy for once," He said, "Lock the door and don't answer anyone that is knocking. Unless it is me,"

I sighed, "Only if you are sure. I could do with-"

"I'm sure," He smiled and walked to the door "If the knocking doesn't stop and you can hear me calling for help, then you should come to my rescue,"

I found myself laughing and I nodded "Then I will come to your rescue,"

Taehyung smiled and winked at me before leaving my office. I put my hands to my cheeks and my heart skipped a beat. I sighed and rested my head against my table.

"Well, shit," I muttered.
