don't kiss me. don't, kiss me.

chapter 2

The class went quiet when he entered the room.

"Good Morning everyone!" He greeted cheerfully.

"Good Morning, Mr. Kim!" They greeted back.

"Fuck!" He heard a low groan following the loud exclaim.

He quickly turned towards where the sound came from and saw a raven haired kid staring at him intensely.

"What is it?" Taehyung asked casually, not wanting to come across as rude to his students. He wants them to respect him, but not to the extent of them not feeling comfortable with him.

"Sorry Mr. Kim! I was just caught off guard." The student explained with a smirk.

Taehyung nodded his head and smiled but he wondered about what caught him off guard? He decided not to stress on it because he have a hunch that the raven haired kid is the student his colleagues were talking about.

And his suspicions were confirmed when he learned his name through the roll call.

Jeon Jeongguk. The kid who just came back from expulsion. The kid his colleagues had warned him about.

Throughout the class, Jeon Jeongguk would surprisingly keep quiet but his intense stare was making Taehyung anxious.

He wouldn't take his eyes off him.

"I'll expect the homework by friday.' He told the class as the bell rang.

He chuckled as he watched his students rushing out of the class to make it to their own respective next class.

He gathered his belongings and was about to leave the class when he noticed that Jeon Jeongguk was silently still sitting on his seat, watching him.

"Jeongguk, aren't you getting to your next class like your friends?" Taehyung asked.

Jeongguk slowly raised from his seat and make his way towards him.

"Actually Mr. Kim, I kinda wanted to talk to you.." He said.

"Oh really? You can talk to me about anything. I'm glad you're coming to me. What is it that you want to talk about?" Taehyung asked excitedly, giving the student all his attention.

"I'm so far behind the lesson.  And it's stressing me out when I think about how I'm going to catch up on all the things I've missed while not missing football practices..  I hope you'd be able to help me." Jeongguk said. 

And Taehyung was pleasantly surprised that Jeongguk cared enough about his studies to come up to him. 

"Don't worry Jeongguk.  I will help you. Okay? I will set up some things and I'll let you know about it after the school if you come to my office. Is that cool with you?" Taehyung asked.

Jeongguk nodded his head. 

"Yeah.  Thank you very much Mr. Kim.  I'll be there". He said with a smile so innocent that Taehyung finds it hard to believe that this was the same kid his colleagues warned him about. 

"It's okay Jeongguk.. Do you want me to write you a slip?  In case you're late for your next class?" He asked. 
Jeongguk bit his lips and thought for a while.

"No its okay Mr. Kim.  Mr. Jung will understand.. " Jeongguk said and smile again. 

"Okay then.  Have a good day today!" Taehyung said and smiled back at the kid. 

"Yeah.. You too, Mr. Kim."
