"Alright, Ken and Jaewon!" I yelled "Stop it. If you cannot work together, I'll have to punish you. Is that what you want? To remain seated next to me while your classmates are decorating the Christmas tree?"

The two noisy boys stopped bickering. Their small eyes were nervously staring back at me, causing my features to soften.

"So?"

"We'll stop!" Jaewon exclaimed before running to the tree

Since Christmas was coming soon, the head of the school had decided to throw a casual party including teachers, children and parents. On the other hand, each class received its Christmas tree. The teachers were asked to make sure every kid gets the chance to decorate the tree so that the parents could witness their child's work. The children were pretty excited about it.

"Knock knock!" A familiar voice errupted in the classroom, being discreet enough not to catch the kids' attention "How is it going? Mines are done!"

Charee was standing at the door, leaning against the doorframe. I approached her. "Look at them, they're having fun." I smiled "We still have an hour left, I won't bother them."

The Korean woman chuckled before pinching my cheeks. "You're such a sweeeeet teacher~"

I groaned, pushing her hands away. "Why are you here?"

She shrugged. "Just wanted to check on my favorite coworker. Also, I need chalk." I rolled my eyes, pointing at the blackboard which was on the other side of the room. "You're a lifesaver, miss (L/n)!"

After helping herself, she left.

"Teacher!" I heard a small voice calling me from behind, causing me to turn and notice Kimhee standing still, arms out straight. A few tinsel were hung all over her tiny body, and a shooting star was placed on top of her head. "I'm a Christmas tree!"

Her classmates laughed as they surrounded her. I joined them and began to play. It was crazy how Kimhee looked like Taehyung, both physically and mentally. She would act all goofy to amuse her friends, sometimes unintentionally by doing weird things; as if her own happiness depended on others. Again, she was just like her brother. Oddly enough, she held qualities I really liked about him. Seeing Kimhee being a Christmas tree made me realize how serious I was about Taehyung. I was catching feelings for the man, unwilling to fight them.

Kind, genuinely concerned about me, loyal, funny, honest, gentle; I could go on for days.  Taehyung shared all these aspects of himself with me, leading me to fall for him. He was comparable to an angel. It was hard enough to resist his demeanor, why did he have to be so nice? I felt safe around him, less self-conscious. He had this comforting and reassuring aura, something that made me want to be with him for the rest of our lives.

It was obvious. I was in love with him.
