Chapter 30

Educating young children is not as easy as I thought, even more so when you have to deal with troubled children. Each of them has a different attitude. Sometimes they are like siblings, who can’t be separated from each other by any person. But there were times when they acted like rivals. When there is little mistake, they act fast, make the action and counterattack in an unpredictable way.

I was surprised when I saw Jimin fight with his friend just because of a pencil. Jimin’s aggressive action made me, who was writing on the whiteboard, immediately separated them. I pulled Taehyung away, to protect him from being further assaulted by Jimin. But afterward, Jimin threw his pencil case and it hit my head.

Pain. That’s what I feel right now.

“Teacher, your head is bleeding!” shouted Hoseok.

Then, my eyes began to catch the drops of blood that began to flow out.

Seeing the blood, Jimin ran out of the classroom. Other children began to panic.

“Oh my god, Jinyoung hyung what happened?”  Youngjae appeared with a worried face.

I was not able to answer, I just held my head which I began to feel extremely painful.

“Hyung!”

Youngjae took me to the clinic. The wound on my head was patched up by the doctor after he finished disinfecting. He said that I did not have any serious injuries, but I have to rush to the hospital immediately if I encounter symptoms such as vomiting and extreme headache. Youngjae looked calm when he heard the words from the doctor.

As we stepped out of the hospital, my phone began to ring. I just let the phone continue ringing. I feel tired. When Youngjae asked for permission to answer it for me, I just handed the phone to him.

“Hello?” Youngjae said. “Jinyoung hyung is here but he is not feeling well right now.”

I just closed my eyes, ignoring whoever is calling me right now.

“His head got injured… a student threw a pencil case at him. But don’t worry, the doctor said he is fine. Nothing bad happened.”  Explained Youngjae.

“Yes, that’s right. Just turn after you past the gas station.”

I was only able to hear until that, before I fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, I had already arrived at Jackson’s house. Youngjae ordered me to rest for 2 or 3 days. After he sent me into Jackson’s house, he went straight to the kindergarten. As soon as I locked the door, I laid down on the sofa.

The loud sound of the door woke me up from my deep slumber. I immediately stood up and went to the window.

Namjoon? I was surprised to see him stand in front of Jackson’s house. What is he doing here?

“Jinyoungie, are you alright?” Was the first question that came from Namjoon’s mouth.

I smiled at him. “I’m fine. Nothing serious.” I held my head.

I feel weird how he could find out what had happened to me. Then I remember about the call that Youngjae answered before he sent me home.

“Can I look at your wound?” Namjoon stepped closer.

His hand lightly touched my head. But I immediately distanced my head out of his hand. I did not like his actions.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to touch you without permission. I'm just worried when I see you like this.” Namjoon apologized.
