As I'm driving I can't stop thinking about the conversation that I just heard.

Boss? What boss?
Girl? Which girl?
Save your butt? From whom?!!!!!!!

I press the brakes and my car halts to a stop immediately. The puppy that is in front of my car now runs away quickly into the alley.

I keep repeating the conversation in my head. I don't what it is that's making me bother so much. Is it the thing they're talking about? Or is it Taehyung who's involved in this thing that bothers me?

I press the accelerator in frustration and drive back home. When I get back it's already 6pm. I dump the shopping bags in a corner and walk to the bathroom.

After a quick shower I feel a little relaxed but I'm still thinking about that conversation. Suddenly my brain clicks. Instagram. I can find Taehyung on Instagram.

I unlock my phone and open Instagram. I go to the search bar, but I stop. I don't know his full name. There's gonna be hundreds of Taehyungs here!

I still type Taehyung and scroll through the profiles that appear. I can't seem to recognise any of the Taehyungs. I put my phone away and rest on the couch.

I wonder what I'll cook for dinner. I remember postponing my wheat burger and fried sausage meal but again, I'm too lazy.

I end up having cup noodles again.

The next morning I'm up early and ready for my first day at my new job. I'm not very sure as to how I'm going to deal with high school kids. They're crazy. Always messing around. I don't understand as to what makes them so happy when they break rules or do something that they're not supposed to.

I'm not old school, I too used to have fun in high school, but sometimes these kids take 'fun' to another level.

Also I'm like what, two-ish years older than them which makes me nervous. What if I can't handle them? What if I make a big fuss.

Ugh! Overthinking has always been a habit of mine, and I'm very aware that it's not good.

After sulking around for about ten more minutes I finally lock the apartment and walk to the bus station.

As I'm heading there I think about how I met Taehyung in the bus the other day. Today, I don't wanna see him but, I also wanna see him.

I get a seat and settle down. The bus is mostly filled with students. This reminds me of my high school days. Although it's been only two years, I still miss those days.

Twenty minutes later I'm in front of Seoul High school. I take one last glance at the fancy exterior of the high school and take heavy steps inside. I don't know what I'm nervous for.

I straight away head to the reception.

"Yes, may I help you?" The receptionist asks too engrossed in her work.

"Um, yes. Hi, my name is Sooyeon...."

Before I can finish he snaps her head up.

"Yes, Sooyeon. Ms. Miji informed me about you. You have to report to her office on the third floor." With that she goes back to her work.

I hesitate for a moment but then eventually walk away. I look around finding any hint of a staircase or elevator. Ah, there it is.

I rush upstairs along with the horde of students who push past me on the staircase. After getting to the third floor I can see no sign of an 'office' that the receptionist mentioned.
