"Since today is the first day of this semester, we'll just have an introduction session." Professor Namjoon announced and the whole class screamed in happiness.

Mrs. Flarah interrupted. "But sir... Why waste a lab session like this?"

"I don't want to stress them out on the first day itself." He replied.

"Seems like a good one." I whispered to Hana.

"You shouldn't judge men like that." Hana replied. "They can be dangerous."

"Then I assume that Jimin is also the same. Dangerous as you say."

"He is but in a good way. In a way that you'll like." Hana winked at me.

"Aish... My imagination is running wild." I closed my ears.

"Too much fanfic and webtoon?" She laughed.

"Shut up." I covered my face in embarrassment.

"I'd like each student to come here and answer a few questions that I'll be asking. You don't have to be nervous since it's a one on one introduction session. Is that clear?" Professor Namjoon had our attention to him.

"Yes, professor." The class chorused.

"Ok then... Let's start with the student on my right." He pointed at a student and called the person to take a seat next to him. He took a chair for himself and sat on it.

Professor Namjoon was occupied in his work while the rest of the class was jabbering and giggling around. The students had so much to catch up with each other after all. It was a two months vacation if I am right.

Two hours had already passed by and he was finished with half of the class. We were back again after the recess break. I was waiting for my turn as patiently as possible. Hana and Jimin were planning on a weekend double date. The idea emerged during recess when we had a chat with Naf and Jungkook. I forgot my plan of meeting Professor Seok Jin because of this chat my gang was having. Thankfully when I checked my schedule I had a free hour after lunch during which I can meet professor Seok Jin. Naf said that she'll tag along with us to meet him. We missed him that much. But we have to make sure that Min Yeri doesn't ruin our plan with her presence. If she's there then we barely can talk to professor Seok Jin.

My eyes were feeling tired and I badly wanted to sleep now. Taehyung had walked his way to the professor to give his introduction. After ten minutes or so Taehyung came back. Before I could go, Yeri jumped out of her place and went to the professor. I sighed as I sat on my chair lazily. I had to wait again for my turn to come.

I killed my time staring at Dong Hee, secretly studying the similarities he had with laughing god I mean professor Seok Jin. He had a clear, glossy skin, sharp jaws, plumpy lips and cute eyes exactly like his uncle. Even he had his hair styled like his uncle. The only thing that differed between them was the way they grin. The arrangement and shape of their teeth differed. I have observed them that much. You can say that I'm a good observer.

It looked like he was busy writing on his notebook but I couldn't figure out what he was jotting down. Dong Hee casually lifted his head, his hair covered his forehead and his eyes met mine.

"Finished your introduction." He mouthed, only letting the air come out of his mouth.

"Not yet. Yeri is taking the time of the whole world." I replied in the same way as him and he chuckled.

"She's really a pain." He moved his lips slowly and perfectly so that I could read what he was telling me with ease. "You must go next." I nodded.

Min Yeri was sweet-talking to professor Namjoon on the first day itself. This is one of the many reasons why I hate her. Her voice changed while she was sugar-coating her words. That's quite easy for her.

Finally, she decided to finish her nonsensical talk with professor Namjoon thus leaving room for me to go. I got up from my place and walked towards him nervously. He gestured to me to sit on the chair. When I sat down our legs brushed against each other accidentally. I quickly muttered an apology and adjusted my posture trying to stay calm and composed.

"May I know your name, miss?" Professor Namjoon asked me. I'm telling you this man's voice sounded kinda deep yet soothing and soft. The blend was almost perfect.

"Y/n... It's y/n professor." I replied. My voice cracked and wasn't audible enough due to my anxiety. I'm very well aware of that.

"Why did you opt for a biotechnology course?" Another question that I've been asked from freshman year. Therefore I had a ready-made answer for it.

"I found it interesting and new from the usual courses that students choose. I love staying inside the lab, wearing those gloves and masks while exploring microparticles. It's a wonder that is invisible to our naked eyes. This course was more like love at first sight for me." Ok... I didn't intend to tell him the last line but it just slipped. I felt like I was under his spell and that spell was making me speak whatever my heart told me to spill out.

"Interesting... None of the students told me that. Most of the students in your class seem to dislike this course somehow." Worrisome was evident in professor Namjoon's voice.

"Unfortunately they don't understand what they are missing, Professor."

Professor Namjoon let out a laugh. "Probably... What are your hobbies y/n?"

"Well... I listen to music, watch dramas, read books and write stories on Wattpad." I told him confidently.

"You write? Sounds cool. I never thought students these days loved writing. Are you a member of the literature club in our university?" He asked me and I nodded. "Gimme your Wattpad ID I'll try reading your works." He shoved me a piece of paper and I neatly wrote down my ID.

"Last question. Where do you see yourself in five years?" His face was rather serious now.

"Professor... To be honest I think I'll be working inside a laboratory as a head researcher or an assistant researcher. My goal is to stay and work inside the lab all day long."

"You love it that much?" He asked me surprised.

"I think it's a cool and decent job. Not to forget that it's more like my first love." Again I had no intention to spill out the last line but I just did. I must be out of my mind seriously.

"You seem to be passionate. I like it. Good luck for the future ahead." He wished me.

"Thank you, professor." I smiled at him in ease. My nervousness has strangely subsided.

"You may go to your place now." He told me. I slightly bowed my head in respect (unfortunately or fortunately this has become a habit for me after watching lots of Korean dramas) and left for my place.

As I settled down I realized that he was looking at me from his place without blinking his eyes. Maybe he was looking at the french window nearby. How naive am I?
