4: Teacher Yeoju's worries
[Jimin's point of view]
Before entering the classroom, the teacher stopped by the staff room to see if things were alright. But the boys were talking to her. Just as she was about to leave, Namjoon showed up.
남준 쌤
Hey, what are you guys doing?
남준 쌤
Are you okay? What did they say?
If someone saw me, they would think I was seeing Namjoon.
B1
Park Jimin? You're Park Jimin, right?
박지민
who···.
They are the guys who said something to that female teacher earlier.
B1
You don't know me? Oh, you don't know because you're a first year?
박지민
I don't know, what can I do?
B1
What do you want me to do? Are you speaking informally to me?
박지민
You were the one who spoke informally to me first.
B1
This new X.
'puck'
My head quickly turned to the side. It wasn't a slight blow, but a hard, powerful blow. The punch felt like it would quickly turn red and swollen, and the blow hit right around my mouth, causing my lip to be slightly cut and bleeding.
박지민
ah.
B1
Aren't you going to close your eyes?
박지민
It's bleeding. Teacher Yeoju shouldn't be worried.
B1
He's a really funny guy.
박지민
Don't mess with Teacher Yeoju when you're talking nicely. If you mess with her one more time, you'll be judged.
윤여주
Park Jimin, why are you now... what's with the blood on your lips?
박지민
Oh, I just fell over.
윤여주
You didn't fall over, did you fight?
박지민
First, let's finish the search.
The teacher is worried about me. No, I might want to believe he's worried. No one has ever worried about me in my life. Maybe that's why I wanted to be worried even more.
윤여주
Now tell me. You didn't fall, did you?
박지민
I really fell. I was afraid I'd be late, so I ran, but I'm late now.
윤여주
Are you going to keep lying like that? You fought, you can tell.
박지민
Even if I don't say so, it keeps happening.
윤여주
Don't keep trying to pass it off like that.
박지민
Teacher.
윤여주
···what.
박지민
Are you worried about me?
윤여주
Of course I'm worried. I don't care if a student gets hurt like that...
박지민
Teacher, I'm sorry for worrying you. I'm really okay, so please calm down.
🎵🎶🎵🎶
박지민
Teacher, if you do that, I'll be worried about you all day and won't be able to concentrate on my work. Teacher, hurry up and go to class. I'll go too.
윤여주
Don't tell me until the end, really. And I don't have class this time. I want to keep asking questions, but you have class, so go in, hurry...
박지민
Don't worry about me anymore and go to work.
윤여주
okay···.
박지민
It's cute...
If you enjoyed it, please give it a thumbs up.
