Teacher, can I like it?

On my first day as homeroom teacher, I received a confession. And from a student. I think there's an invisible wall between students and teachers. Just like when you say a student and a teacher are dating, people look at you a little strangely. At first, it seemed like a joke, but it didn't seem like a joke.

uh···?

Park Jimin, what are you saying? Teacher, you are mine.

윤여주

Okay, guys...

Teacher Yeoju?

윤여주

Huh? Yes?!

남준 쌤

What are you so surprised about, do you have time?

윤여주

Ah... yes yes.

박지민

uh···.

I quickly got out of the crowd of kids and went to Teacher Namjoon.

남준 쌤

How about half?

윤여주

Hmm... the boys are quite active...

남준 쌤

Why? Did you even confess?

윤여주

Yes...? Yes... How did you know?

남준 쌤

Well... that makes sense.

윤여주

What is it?

남준 쌤

Teacher Yeoju is pretty. The boys would probably like her, I guess.

윤여주

Hey... no...

박지민

Teacher!

윤여주

Oh, surprise...

박지민

When will the conversation end?

남준 쌤 image

남준 쌤

Okay, let's talk. I'll go.

윤여주

Ah, I···!

박지민

Teacher Yeoju... Do you hate me? Why do you look like that...

윤여주

No... Sorry, I'll go first. Listen well in class.

Jimin grabbed my wrist as I was trying to hurry away.

박지민

I'll enjoy it quietly, then. So as not to disturb the teacher.

윤여주

···I'll go.

This was the first time in my life I'd ever been so proactively confessed to, let alone received one from a student, so I was completely flustered. What the hell was going on on my first day of school... I was so confused. Class time was next, so it was bound to be awkward.

At that moment, the bell rang to start first period.

윤여주

after···.

As soon as I entered, my eyes were drawn to the friend from before. I hadn't even memorized his name yet, so I checked my seat number and saw that his name was Jimin. Jimin was lying face down. Was it because I'd just walked away? I couldn't help but wonder what was causing him.

윤여주

Uh... Okay, since you probably don't know our names yet, let's take this time to introduce ourselves one by one.

After introducing themselves one by one, it was finally Jimin's turn, but he was still lying face down.

윤여주

Jimin...? Park Jimin.

I tried to move on because Jimin didn't answer no matter how much I called.

윤여주

Then the next car...

박지민

jimin park.

윤여주

uh···?

My name is Park Ji-min, and I really like Teacher Yoon Yeo-ju.

A deep silence fell over the class for a moment after Jimin's sudden public confession.

If you enjoyed it, please give it a thumbs up.
