20: Tutoring the cheapskates - Private tutoring

배주현

"I like it"

김여주

"Yes, we have a good priest-student relationship."

배주현

"No, I mean, I think he likes you as a woman."

What the hell is this? I went to see her early yesterday morning and we started chatting, but it was Park Ji-hoon who caught Joo-hyun's attention, not me going to the reunion and getting fucked by Kim Min-soo and Yeo Yeon-yeon.

김여주

"He likes me? As a woman, not as a teacher?"

배주현

"Yeah, Inma. If not that, what else? Running over there in a panic and pretending to be your boyfriend instead."

김여주

"..."

That's true. Rationally speaking, Park Ji-hoon's actions could only be possible if he had a favorable impression, even if it wasn't necessarily a love interest. Yesterday's comment about liking me also weighed heavily on my mind.

김여주

"But even if I like him, nothing will change. He's a minor and I'm an adult, he's a student and I'm a teacher. Isn't that an impossible relationship?"

배주현

"He's a senior in high school. He'll be an adult soon."

김여주

"Are you secretly saying that you wish Park Ji-hoon and I could date?"

배주현

"Yeah, totally. Honestly, there aren't many opportunities to date such a handsome guy. And compare him to Kim Min-soo, how cute and lovable he is."

김여주

"Hey, where are you comparing the kid to..!"

배주현

"I was just saying that. But think about it. I'm sure she likes you. It's a woman's intuition."

Park Ji-hoon likes me as a woman? If so, how should I treat him? My head hurts as I try to seriously consider something I've never considered before. If Park Ji-hoon confesses, should I accept him?

For some reason, my face became hot.

박우진

"Hey, you piece of shit. I think my mom saw my report card."

배진영

"Then you should have folded a paper airplane like me and flown it."

박우진

"It's the 21st century, Jinyoung. They send you text messages at school."

옹성우

"Your mother won't get brain damage after seeing your report card, right?"

박우진

"Oh, how did you get home today?"

박지훈

"Hey Park Woojin"

박우진

"why"

박지훈

"...Do you want to sleep over at my house today?"

박우진

"..."

박지훈

"..."

박우진

"That was a bit disgusting, wasn't it?"

박지훈

“You fucking bastard”

Please save me.

박지훈

"I like you."

박우진

"Oh, I get it! Now go tell your teacher!"

박지훈

"What should I do??! If I get dumped by Kim Yeo-ju, I won't be able to tutor anymore and it's goodbye!?"

박우진

"This is a bumper crop, really."

I was wondering why he suddenly called me to his house, and he's been doing this for two hours. What a frustrating kid.

박지훈

"hey"

박우진

"why"

박지훈

"Are things going well with Hye-young?"

박우진

"fight"

박지훈

"You idiot"

Park Ji-hoon, who got hit with facts, brought up the fight he had with his girlfriend a few days ago. Is he crazy? He's already upset.

박우진

"...What's the situation now? I even helped you last time."

박지훈

"..."

박우진

"..."

박지훈

"This shit!!!!"

박우진

"Oh, surprise! Please stop being so annoying, what's wrong?!"

박지훈

"I was so close to confessing to you, but I backed out. But honestly, what teacher would accept a confession from their student?! They'd probably be too burdened to handle it."

박우진

"You idiot"

Well, Park Ji-hoon isn't wrong. I have to keep tutoring for the next few months, but how can I tutor a kid who confessed to me? It's common for people to get dumped and quit tutoring.
