It was quiet. The house was quiet. Something felt off. Why, you know those times? You feel cold and tense for no reason. If it were any other time, ARMY would have run to me and hugged me. I looked from the living room to my room, but ARMY was nowhere to be found. The bedroom, the kitchen, even the bathroom. ARMY was nowhere to be seen. And then, a memory flashed through me.
'Mom, what are you doing?'
'Hang up the laundry. I heard it's cold today, so I'll keep the door closed.'
And at the same time, the thought came to me, the veranda.
"Amiya!"
Beyond the hastily opened veranda door, there, as expected, was Ami. She was feeling the chilly autumn air.
***
"Teacher! Our Ami, Veran... Dae..., huh."
So, is Ami sick? No, not at all. The problem was that she was so energetic. Considering she'd been out in the wind for hours, she was incredibly energetic. Still, animals can get sick at any moment, so I brought her to the hospital just in case. It's much better to prevent illness than to fret over it.
...I came here with that in mind, but where on earth am I?
Oh, my God. Is the person in front of me a retired veterinarian? Not an angel, but a veterinarian? And that face? Since when has being handsome been one of the qualifications for becoming a veterinarian in South Korea?
You might think I'm exaggerating, but no, I'm not. I'm understating things.
With a perfect face,
Perfect physical,
And even a smile that melts away.
He was a perfect teacher. I can confidently say he was the most handsome person I've ever met in my life.
"Let's see, why is our little girl here?"
Holly. Little girl. From today on, I'm a little girl. Age doesn't matter. Conscience? Give that to Amina.
"My heart aches when I see you, teacher..."
"... yes?"
"...what did I just say?"
The sentence, "Ami is sick..." was changed without even going through the filter. Oh, I'm so embarrassed. What did I just say... I lowered my head in embarrassment. Looking at me like that, I heard a chuckle from above. Ugh, it's embarrassing.
"Phew... I meant the puppy."
"... i know."
"So, why did you come?"
"Oh, our ARMY got hit by too much wind."
"You're still in good shape. You can just go."
Just leave? You want me to just leave you behind? I can't do that... I need to admire your sculpted face for every single second!!
...I almost screamed, but I grabbed my mouth and started to seriously think about it. A legitimate way to see that handsome teacher more... But there was no way...
"Wah!"
...is there?
"That..! Vitamin injection!"
"yes?"
"Our ARMY wants to get that!"
"A nutritional injection?"
"yes!"
"Waaf waaf wangwang!! Woof woof woof woof!"
(What are you talking about, human!! An injection!)
"Ahaha.. Our ARMY likes injections so much.."
"Oh, okay. Then I'll let you go. Amiya, let's go."
"Waaf waaf waaf!!!!"
(Ningeeeeeen!!!!)
Thank you, Amiya. It's all thanks to you... I was grateful for Amiya, who was struggling to avoid getting a shot. Thanks to that, the veins on the teacher's arm that tried to hold Amiya in place...! Ah, to think that such a perfect man exists in this world. This must be a gift from heaven. So, I will definitely make that teacher mine!!
It's been one day since I met the teacher.
Kim Yeo-ju fell in love with her teacher at first sight.
