With one last look on the mirror, the raven haired girl made her way outside their house causing her mother, who was on the living room, to shout. "yah, Yu Jimin! Don't run!"

"sorry, Mom!" she shouted back as she opened the front door of the car that was waiting for her. A glare greeted her the moment she sat inside which made her chuckle. "what?"

"you just made me wait for 30 minutes! 30 minutes!" her Japanese friend snorted

"yeah, I know. But, we have to go now or we'll be late"

Thirty minutes of car ride was enough to reach their university. The Japanese turned left to park her car on the side. Good thing they still arrive before the class start, they would not have to run.

"I heard, there's a new instructor in geomechanics" the japanese started as they were walking to their room. It was just few blocks aways from the parking lot so they'll arrive in no time.

"Aeri-yah, its already the middle of the semester, why would they change or hire whatever instructor?"

The two of them were already on their last year on civil engineering, and few more months they will finally be graduating. Jimin could finally be free from paper works. ugh, can't wait!

"hmm, I heard Mr. Choi was transferred to second year department" the japanese told as they took their seat in the right side of the room that was near the window.

"I also heard, that she's insanely pretty" Aeri added, and wiggled her eyebrows. Jimin glared at her, "don't start me with that, Uchinaga"

And, the Japanese was not wrong, the new instructor was indeed pretty, and led everyone in the room awed at her beauty. Of course, including Jimin who had her mouth open, and eyes wide. wow..

"Good morning" The woman infront started as she put her things on the table. She smiled as she faced the class, which made Jimin's heart pound. Her heart was having its own marathon. what the eff is happening?!

The woman infront was wearing a black turtle neck shirt tucked on her wool pleated pants, partnered with a blazer. She has her hand on her pocket, while the other was leaning on the table. Her face was small, and has a white complexion. She has a pair of doe eyes, has a pinkish lips and pointy nose. In short, the new instructor was indeed a beauty.

"..as you all know Mr. Choi was transferred to second year department, so from now on, I will be the one in charge in your geomechanics. I am hoping for your cooperation, and that we all get along well" Maybe, Jimin was too drawn to the instructor's visuals that she didn't catch her name, that left her slightly mad.

"yah, what's her name again?" she asked the japanese beside her

"Kim Minjeong" Jimin nodded at the respond, but hearing the name slightly sends a familiarity to her. Jimin feels like she already heard that name before, she just couldn't remember. But, learning the name of their new instructor made Jimin beam on her seat. She could not help it.

"uh, Miss Kim?" Sungchan, the famous good-looking university athlete, raised his hand, and called the attention of the young instructor infront. "Yes?"

"is it okay to ask your age? its just that you look so young" the woman nodded, then smiled.

"Do I look really young?" she asked in return, and the whole class answered 'yes'. That made the woman chuckle as she fixed her blazer. "I'm a year younger than you, that's why" Series of murmurs were heard, not believing what she had said.

"believe it or not, its up to you. anyway, should we start our class?" she asked but the whole class protested, saying that it should be just a getting-to-know-each-other time. On her mind, Jimin agreed. Of course, she wanted to know the woman more. She cannot explain, but she really wanted to know more things about her.

"okay, okay. What else do you want to know?"

"Are you single, Miss?! my buddy here wanted to know!" the guy at the back shouted, earning a smack from his friend, Jake. Jimin had her brows furrowed, there was an anger arising from her.

"well, that's a secret" her answer made the class whine again, to which she only smiled. Seeing that, sent butterflies to Jimin's stomach, it was tickling her. stupid butterflies!

With her block mates asking the instructor with unending questions, Jimin learned many things about her. She learned that the woman was really a year younger than them, and they reason why she was already teaching in such a young age was because she was accelerated. She was a genius. Jimin also learned that the instructor just came from New Zealand after two years. One of her block mates asked for the reason but the instructor quickly shrugged the topic off, a sign that it was too personal. Jimin cannot help but wonder. Curiousity was arising inside her.

"okay, enough with me. I think its time for you to introduce yourselves, you can tell anything you want" with that, the class started introducing their selves, saying things they like and enjoy, some even made a joke and tried to flirt with their professor. Few more block mates, and it will be Jimin's turn. Her hands were already sweating, and her heart was hammering in nervousness. Jimin never really felt nervous before, that day may be her first time.

"yah, Jimin-ah, its your turn" Aeri whispered. Jimin immediately stood up, and turned to the woman infront. "I'm Yu Jimin, I like lipsticks, and I think I like you" she jokingly whispered the last words, but the japanese beside her surely heard of it, as she was trying to hold her laughter. Jimin glared at her, while the Japanese repeatedly smacked her shoulder.

After the introduction, Jimin kinda wished she didn't let those words slip out of her mouth for her Japanese friend was teasing her through out the day. She could only warn and glare at her friend who seemed to not care at all.

"Aeri, could you please stop now? I'm about to punch on your ugly face" Their class was over, and they were at a café near their university. Jimin was having her favorite strawberry drink, while the Japanese was enjoying her macchiato. "Go ahead, Min. Let them know how violent you can become"

The café was actually packed, some were just taking their orders out since there were no vacant seats. Good thing the two of them came early, so they saved their seats. With her glaring eyes, her peripheral caught a person who seemed to be lost and looking for a vacant seat.

"L-let's-- I mean, you should go now, Aeri-yah" she told the Japanese without taking her eyes off the woman she saw. "who are you t-- oh.." the japanese shut her mouth up the moment she saw who Jimin was looking at. A grin formed on her lips as an idea popped on her mind.

"Miss Kim!" she shouted to get the attention of the woman. Upon getting the signal, the woman approached them with a coffee on her hand. "You can sit with us, Miss" the Japanese told the instructor, ignoring how Jimin was giving her deathly glares.

"Thank you"

The Japanese moved to the seat beside Jimin, while their instructor sat across. The atmosphere was awkward, but not to the Japanese who was holding her laughter at the sight of her friend who was obviously frozen on her seat, with her ears turning crimson red. aish, this girl really be crushing on her huh?

"uh, Miss Kim?" the instructor turned to the japanese who called her attention. "Yes, Miss Uchinaga?"

"How long have you been teaching again?" she asked as she tried to not wince when Jimin pinched her thigh. Aeri glared at her, telling Jimin to stop.

"I've been teaching for five years now, I think?" the Japanese nodded at the answer

"If you're 24 now, then does that mean you started teaching at 19?!" the instructor hummed in response as she sipped on her coffee.

It amazes the two of them, espacially Jimin, how the woman managed to be an instructor in that young age, it was seriously making Jimin's mouth hang in astonishment. She, for sure, is a brainiac!

"That's really cool and genius of you, Miss. But, I'm still baffled why you don't have someone at this point? I mean, if I'm pretty as you are, I'll be having 5 girl-- boyfriend all at once" Jimin could only face her palm internally to what her friend was blurting out. She just wanted to disappear out of the secondhand embarrassment she was getting. dmn you, Aeri

Few seconds after, Jimin heard the woman chuckled, and smiled. Then again, it sent butterflies to Jimin's stomach, and her heart was hammering again.

"It's not my priority right now. Besides, I'm waiting for someone" their instructor answered with a smile on her lips as she turned to Jimin's direction.
