My High School Teacher || Woo Do Hwan

chapter 23

"is everything okay?" Jaehyun spoke from behind whilst holding either side of my shoulders.

I couldn't explain what i felt as it was unbearable. It was incredibly painful that as if my mind was about to burst. My eyelids were heavy and i struggled to open my eyes.

Jaehyun then went to my front and i swiftly held onto his arms for support. He became silent for a while and i can feel his breath against my bare neck.

"take me inside" i demand, slowly opening my eyes for me to see him. He obediently followed and began to company me.

As we entered the house, we were greeted by the annoyed woman at the corner, chewing her favorite dried squid. Jaehyun politely bowed his head and smiled at her. I weakly blinked my eyes at him but i refused to talk.

"where's your room?" he calmly asked and i slowly lifted my arm, pointing upstairs. Although i hate to admit it, i wished it was Do Hwan his self who's helping me right now. He's been so cold lately that i couldn't have a proper conversation with him.

Being in love with my own professor is such an absurd idea, and the worst decision i made. How am i supposed to tell everyone that i like my teacher, that i want to marry him.

I then shook my head but was cut off when my sight started to spin once again. I cursed inaudibly and run my fingers onto my temples, massaging them roughly. Jaehyun on my side worriedly caress my back.

Once we reached my room, he slowly laid me down on my bed, and that moment i remembered my dad. The time my dad used to lay me down on my bed after i slept on the couch at the living room. By only thinking about it made me want to cry.

And suddenly a tear escaped my eye without even realizing, i then instantly wiped it away before Jaehyun might notice it.

"hey, is it that painful?" the man on my side touched my forehead with his cold palm. I nodded weakly as i released a heavy sigh. Moments later, i heard plastics and a cup being placed on my desk.

"here...take this medicine, please. It would vanish your headache" he begun to open the pills and reached his arm to feed me. I have never seen him being so kind towards me and i liked it. It made me somewhat relieved.

He hoisted me up and helped me sit down on my bed, slowly leaning my head against the cold wall. I watched him handing me the pills, before i shoved it into my mouth. Although i wasn't in the right mood, i gave him a smile, at least somehow i can express him my gratitude.

Taking medicines isn't really my type, but i swallowed one today. And i didn't know why. Having someone taking care of me is the sweetest and probably the only thing i could ask for. Letting you only to stay still and let them do anything for you.

"Jaehyun..." i tugged on his sweater, averting my eyes away from him. He was staring at me since earlier, good enough for me to melt in place. "please, stop staring"

"was i? I'm sorry" he let out an awkward laugh. We were both in silence as i refused to talk, i wasn't in the right mood. Jaehyun was still on my side doing absolutely nothing but to sit. And the next thing i knew was he told me to lay down and rest.

I dropped off to sleep the moment i closed my eyes. The time flies so fast that it was already the day for school. I was done fixing myself and i ran off to take the bus. My ride was taking a long time to arrive, which made me sit for a while.

Today's the day of our final test and i am beyond exhausted. I'm not expecting anything special from me anyway, as if i did something that would make my butt proud of. How am i supposed to tell my aunt if i failed my test?
