[M] FINAL (1/1)

*bell ringsThe students started leaving one by one and you were left alone in the classroom, trying to take down the results of their preliminary exam without the need to go to the faculty room, since it is crowded by a lot of other teachers as well as students with different reasons that you do not want to hear.You are a foreigner and it has been 2 years since you started working in Korea as an English Teacher.  It has been your passion to teach, and your passion to learn the Korean culture and its people made you come here, and you are enjoying every single minute of it.  Though there are still a bit of cons in terms of language barrier and racism, but you didn’t let that get in to you, and pretty much you are successful with what you do.You didn’t find it hard to be close with your students, knowing that your age gaps aren’t that much, so most of the time you are just having fun while in class, but limitations are always set and your students always understand.  Some other foreign and local teachers alike and even students tried to make a move on you, tried asking you out on a date or for coffee, but you refuse to, because you wanted to focus on your career and avoid as much distraction as possible.Speaking of distraction, when you thought that all of your students are already gone, you heard a nervous cough.  You look up and you saw your cute distraction, Choi Youngjae, standing a few meters away from you.  He looks at you but immediately bowed down, his hands on either side of his.  You smiled as you straightened against your seat, and you looked at him.“Can I help you, Youngjae-ah?”  You smiled and he looked up and your eyes met.  He fidgeted with the loose thread at the bottom of his polo shirt, as he takes his bottom lip between his teeth, hesitant to say anything or even move.  You chuckled and you stood up from your seat as you walk in front of your table, resting your bum against it while you lay your hands flat against the surface.“What’s wrong, Youngjae-ah?  Do you need anything from me?”  You repeated yourself, this time, he managed to keep still as he looks at you, but he is on the same place.“S-seonsaeng-nim, I-I just wanted to give you this.”  He tumbled a bit but managed to complete his sentence just right for you to understand.  He took something from his bag and handed you a box where the middle part of the lid is transparent so you get to see what is inside.  You walked towards him and grabbed the box from him and smiled as you see home-made brownies and butterscotch inside.“Thank you for your patience with me, teacher.  I know I have been difficult but you did your best to help me out.  I owe you my knowledge in English, seonsaeng-nim.”  He bowed 90 degrees in front of you, which made your heart flutter.  Youngjae is not the most intelligent student, nor he is the most handsome or good-looking, but his determination and hard work to learn and be great at something smitten you.Moreover, his looks are not that bad.  He has brown locks that look so good on him even if it’s brushed up or tamed down.  His collarbones that you got to see whenever he wears a loose shirt, the moles that seem to form constellations at his back and neck.“Thank you so much, Youngjae-ah, that is so sweet of you.”  You ruffled his hair and he smiled his signature smile, which made everyone call him sunshine.“No, thank you, teacher.  You are really good that is why we love you!”  He said playfully and innocently and he made a heart sign using his arms, and you giggled at yourself.  You haven’t seen any girl surrounding him though – but he has 6 other friends that appeared to be more charming because of their oozing charisma and confident personality, which made him indifferent.  However, in your eyes, you do not really see them.  You only see this average looking boy that has pure innocence almost about all things.That just made you want to teach him more than just English.“Oh no, do not flutter me too much, Youngjae-ah, I might get used to it!”  You smiled at him and he blushed a bit, giggling at himself as he unconsciously swipes his tongue over his bottom lip, causing you to stare at his lips for a few seconds, before looking back at his eyes.“Do not worry teacher, my Mom bakes really good so she will not mind giving you a lot.”  He laughed and it echoed through the 4 corners of the room – which made you smile.  He bows at you before waving goodbye along with a few more laughs and giggles.  Just when he’s about to get out of the door, you stopped him.“Youngjae-ah, would you like to have dinner at my place tonight?  I am great in cooking!”~~~~~“Wow, your place is so cute and clean, seonsaengnim!”  He removes his shoes and drops his bag to the floor before entering your beloved home with eyes glittering with joy and amazement.“It is not that clean, Youngjae, but I should say it is cute.”  You gestured for him to follow you and he sits on the couch.  You told him to feel comfortable as you went up your room to change.  You decided to put on a large pink tee with short shorts – and nothing else underneath.  Youngjae is really very innocent and didn’t even think twice in saying yes to your offer.  Though you would really treat him dinner, you have other plans too but you need to check the waters before actually putting your plan in play.  You slowly walk down the stairs and Youngjae is currently sitting comfortably on the couch, playing with his phone.  He caught sight of you once you set your foot on the last staircase and his mouth is agape.  He had never seen you in that kind of outfit before and he couldn’t help but blush.“Youngjae-ah… what do you want to eat for dinner?”  You asked him as you approach his surprised being; mindlessly staring at your luscious legs.  You cleared your throat and he was snapped out of his thoughts and he blushed madly.  You giggled at him and repeated the question.  He answered “beef stew” in the cutest stammering way possible.  You told him that you’ll have it prepared in a few minutes and he can just watch the TV first.  While waiting, Youngjae tried his best to focus on the drama that is playing on the TV, but his eyes would sometimes wander on you at the kitchen.  He really finds you pretty and attractive and sometimes really amazed of your existence.  That is why he didn’t even think twice when you invited him for dinner, knowing that he will get to know you more and to be with you longer.“Dinner is ready, Youngjae-ah!”  You shouted from the kitchen and Youngjae’s thoughts were disrupted and he yelled an OK before running towards the dining area.  The food smells wonderful as he took in the scent of your home cooked food.“This may not be as good as your Mom’s cooking, but I hope it is still OK?”  You said as the two of you sat on the chairs facing each other.“I am sure this will be good since you cooked this for me, Teacher.”  He complimented and the two of you just ate in silence with some occasional talks in between – mostly about school and nothing else.  You both finished eating and you got it cleaned up, though Youngjae would like to volunteer but of course you wouldn’t allow him to do so since he is your guest.  He went back to the couch and you followed suit after cleaning the dishes and the table.  You sat next to him comfortably as you took sight of his cute self as he laughs and smiles while watching a comedy show on TV.“Seonsaengnim, kamsahaeyo for the dinner!”  He blurted all of a sudden and you cannot help but smile at him.“You’re welcome, my favorite student.  But you should not tell any of your classmates about this, they might get jealous.”  You winked at him and he nodded vigorously before swearing that he will not tell anyone about this.”Good thing you are able to join me tonight, Youngjae.  You do not have a date with your girlfriend?”  You asked, slowly inching closer to him.  He laughed out loud at your remark and you smirked for a second but put on a frown right after.“I do not have a girlfriend, Miss _________.”  He said and you smiled, feeling victorious.“Why not?  I mean, you are handsome and you have a great voice, why do you not have a girlfriend?”  You asked him, pushing your body closer and closer to his, but he is still oblivious because his eyes are glued on the TV.“I… I don’t really know, Miss.  Maybe they do not really like guys like me that are… ordinary?”  He said and he turned to your side, eyes widening realizing that you are way too close to him, cheeks glowing to a rosy hue because of the proximity.  You smiled and he looked away, trying his best to hide the heat that he suddenly felt upon seeing you that close to him.“Youngjae-ah, you are beautiful and do not ever tell yourself that you are not, OK?”  You said, cupping his cheek while brushing your thumb against his cheek, making him relax a bit.  Your eyes wandered at his dry lips, as you instinctively brush your thumb over his lower l
