My Dear Sonsaengnim (Taehyung & Reader)

Part 3

Bam!
You closed the door loudly behind you & took off your shoes. The tiny apartment where you lived with your mom & stepdad was dark & quiet.
Huhh.. Thank God nobody's home.
You staggered towards your room & opened the door. The scene before you made you scream in utter disgust.
"What the fuck are you doing in my room?!"
Your usually tidy room was in a mess & it reeked strongly of alcohol. Your drunk stepdad was splayed across your bed, snoring heavily with his eyes closed.
"Ya! Get out of my room!" You shouted at him while nudging his foot.
"Oh. You're home. Where's your mom?" He yawned & scratched his head as he got up from your bed.
"How the fuck am I supposed to know?!"
"Language. Show some respect, no matter how much you hate me, I'm still your dad." He lazily leaned on the wall beside you & crossed his arms.
"Stepdad. Now get out of my room!" You hissed.
"You look pretty when you're mad, just like your mom a couple years ago." He extended his dirty fingers to touch your face but you quickly slapped it away.
"Get out!" You pushed him out of your room & locked the door.
"Song Y/n, you'll end up loving me as well, just like every woman does." His evil laugh resonated through the thin door.
You collapsed onto the floor, hugged your knees & cried silently. Actually, you were scared for your own safety. Very scared.
Sick of his constant inappropriate remarks & sleazy behavior, you had been wanting to punch him in the face & leave the apartment forever, but you couldn't because of your mom. Your mom was the only family you had in this world & you had to protect her from her bad choice of a husband.
Your mom had once been the most beautiful girl in her hometown. However, she had you when she was in high school & her handsome yet irresponsible boyfriend left her because he didn't want to take responsibility. She had always fallen for men with good looks, but most of the time without brain. After uncountable failed relationships, she ended up where she was now, with multiple minimum-paying jobs & a useless drunkard as a husband. That was why you had a hard time trusting men.
Your phone buzzed inside your bag & you quickly got up to retrieve it. It was Hyungjun.

You smiled to yourself, at least you still had him.
I need to stay strong. I can't let that bastard bring me down.

The following day
The sound of bell ringing woke you up from your nap. Another boring day had ended.
You packed up your stuffs & headed to the door.
"Y/n ah, let's go on a date today." Dojoon suddenly appeared in front of you.
"Move away. I told you I'm not interested." You said without looking at him.
"Come on, don't be such a bitch. Just say yes while he's still asking you nicely." One of Dojoon's underlings said as he pressed against your back.
"Move. Or I'll scream." You glared at Dojoon, but he only laughed at you in return.
"Go on. Nobody dares to go up against us. Besides, everyone's gone home now." Dojoon snickered.
You looked to your left & right, Dojoon's friends had surrounded you & you had no way to escape. Inside, you were scared shitless, but you wouldn't let on.
"I warn you one last time, if you don't let me go, you'll definitely regret it."
"Hahaha! Alright, go on. This will only make it more fun." Dojoon cracked his neck & knuckles, a huge sneer painted on his face.
"What's going on?" A sudden voice made Dojoon turn his head around. Taehyung was standing with a confused expression at the door.
You took your chance & ran as fast as you could out of the classroom.
"Ya! Catch her!" Dojoon yelled at his underlings.
"Y/n! Wait for me!" Taehyung called out to you & ran along.
You ran frantically without direction, but unfortunately you reached a dead end.
"It's a dead end. Why did you run this way?" Taehyung panted behind you.
"Shhh!" You quickly hid behind the huge dumpster, ignoring the putrid garbage smell.
"Ya, go find somewhere else to hide!" You hissed at Taehyung who sneaked in beside you.
"There's nowhere else to hide!" His body was so close to you, you could hear his rapid heartbeat.
"You-" You were about to protest again but Taehyung's hand muffled your mouth & soon you heard Dojoon's & his friends' loud footsteps.
"Where the hell did they go?!" Dojoon yelled.
"Maybe they went that way. Let's go search that alley." One of the guys said & their footsteps gradually sounded smaller & smaller.
"Pheww.. That was close." Taehyung sighed.
"Why did you follow me? You could've just run away on your own. They wouldn't go after you." You pushed his hand away & snapped.
"Then, who would help you if they attacked you?" He said & somehow his innocent question touched you a little bit.
"W-Well. I can defend myself. I don't need your help." You said as you stepped out of your hiding place.
"Yeah yeah. You looked like a scared little duck when I saw you earlier." He rolled his eyes.
"No, I didn't!" You stubbornly denied & turned around to walk away.
After a few steps, you stopped & contemplated on what to do. He did rescue you, if it wasn't for him, they would probably have done something indecent to you. Then, you turned back around & said to him nonchalantly.
"Hey, care for some ice cream? My treat."
"Your treat? Wow. I think my ears are tricking me. Did you just say that you were going to buy me ice cream?" He stared at you in disbelief.
"I-If you don't want it, then fine." You embarrassedly stomped away.
"Ya, wait for me! Who said I didn't want it?" He jogged to your side with a wide grin on his face.
"Thank you.." Head lowered, you said in a very small voice.
"Huh? What?" He cupped his ear & leaned closer to you.
"I said thank you! For saving me earlier.." You said slightly louder.
"You're welcome Song Y/n." He abruptly stepped in front of you, bent down to your eye level & smiled at you.
Your heart involuntarily stirred, looking at his beautiful smile. You quickly averted your gaze & walked past him.
"L-Let's go, before they come back here looking for us."
What are you doing Y/n? You have a boyfriend & he's your teacher! Please think straight.
