You can hear your mom nagging you from downstairs up to your room. You failed in one subject and it's your special class that you're not really interested in. Chinese class.
"Mom," your mom won't stop blaming all your fangirling things for not passing on that class. "I will get you a tutor then" "Mom, what are you saying?! I don't need a tutor. I can do it by myself." "Then focus on that Chinese class! We need to hire someone who can teach you!" you really hate when this happens but you don't have any choice but to follow what your mom says. She's your mom, you can't do anything about it.

The next day, your mom drop you off the cafe nearby to meet your tutor. When you came inside the coffee shop, you can smell the heaven like the aroma of coffee. You decided to sit at a table near the window. You're on the phone chatting with your friend when a good looking guy approached you, "Hello." then smiled. He's really handsome. For now, it's a blessing for you to fail that subject and get tutored with this guy. "H-Hi" the guy chuckled. "I-Is this your first day?" the guy gave you a 'what are you talking about face' and answered you "Actually, no." "Then when did you start?" "For about a year, I think. Because I really need this." then sipped some coffee he ordered. "Teacher Dalun!" some students called him and wave at him so he did the same and smiled on them. "Y-You're a teacher?!" you asked in shock. "Yes and I think, it's your first day with me... and these textbooks." he started discussing every lesson and out of nowhere, you said "Mr. Dalun, you are so handsome" after he heard those words coming out from you he laughed at you. And covered your face because of embarrassment.

You realized how dumb you are to say that out loud. Thank goodness it's now over. You can finally go home and bury yourself.

"See you next class, Y/N." "Thank you, Mr. Dalun." "I'm handsome, right," he asked playfully while giving you a wink and left.
"MR. DALUN!" you shouted and you can hear him laughing at your reaction.
Days and weeks passed by and your feelings are starting to grow even stronger for him and today you have an appointment with him. Not to have a Mandarin class but to eat lunch together. Last time, he promised you to buy you lunch on weekends if you're able to get a 90 above score over 100 on your Mandarin class and surprisingly you got 93 with the highest score in the class. You two met and you're wearing a dress which is not your typical outfit but you want to impress Mr. Dalun.

"You're really improving now, Y/N! You did great on your exams," he said while patting your head. "Let's go, I'm hungry." then you two go to a Chinese resto. He ordered the food and you were in awe on how fluent he was in Chinese. "Mr. Dalun, what is your nationality?" "Why did you asked?" "You said that you're a Fil-Canadian, right?" then he nodded. The food arrived and you two start digging in. "Yes, you're right. I'm 100℅ not Chinese. Everything can be learned if you study--" "That's not I'm pointing about, Mr. Dalun. You actually have features like an East Asian guy." "You cheeky little--" while pinching your cheeks "Enjoy your food and stop talking. Hmm?" you giggled and finished eating.

"Thank you for today, Mr. Dalun. Can I ask you one last favor?" "What is it Y/N?" "Can we stay here for a moment?" you sat on a bench because to tell him something really important. He didn't respond instead he just said, "It's getting dim by now, Y/N. I'm going to walk you home" "Mr. Dalun, I like you."
he gave just gave you a smile. "Y/N, we may have a few years gap on each other but I still see you as one of my students." you were really disappointed to hear that. You thought that he sees you as a woman if you're going to make an effort but nothing changed. "Y/N... your mom must be worried, let's go now." he grabbed your wrist and walked together. When you arrived at your house, your mom also went out. "Thank you so much, Mr. Dalun for making my daughter improve on her class." your mom said to him. "No worries Ma'am. Thank you for trusting me to tutor her. Actually, you must be thanking Y/N by now for putting extra efforts on her studies." he compliments. "I need to go by now, Ma'am. Y/N, see you around!" and gave him a weak smile. "Yes, Mr. Dalun! Thank you." you went inside your house as if nothing happened.

"I like you so much Y/N. But, it's not yet the right time for both of us, Y/N. I'll be back." then he left.
