"is it lalisa manobal? the model we've just signed?" jimin asked.

"lalisa manobal?" who's that? a model our company just signed? when?

"she's young, but forward. she asked to meet you personally. did you guys meet without me knowing?" jimin frowned, feeling betrayed.

"i've never met her." i said as i reached for my chopstick again.

"what? then who is she?" this kid is really that curious huh? let's play something then.

"there's someone." i said plainly as soon as i took another bite of sushi.

he just sat there, dumbfounded with my answer.

"anyway, i'd like you to schedule in a trip to dae-han high tomorrow." i added.

"you've never gone when they've asked you before, so why now?"

"to meet with the mother of my child."

i could see jimin hardly tried to gulp his own saliva.

"w-what?"

"ah, i guess i didn't say. i'm going to be a dad soon."

jimin is completely shook with what i said just now. the chopstick on his hold, fell on the floor.

"the mother of your child? you're going to be a dad?" jimin is still trying to process what he heard a few moments ago.

"i'd like to drop by the high school in the morning. you'll be able to push back my morning meeting about an hour, won't you?" i asked as i took another new chopstick and passed it to jimin.

"err, come on, mr. jeon. mother of your child? what are you saying? and why dae-han high?" he still couldn't believe it.

"she's a teacher there."

another moment of true. another chopstick on his hand, fell on the floor.

☁️☁️

today's weather is so nice, that i think i'm the only one lacking.

our school had a meeting this morning, and i couldn't focus on what was the principal or other teachers are saying.

i kept on doodle something on my notebook and i just noticed, this page is full of 'doo-jool' which means two lines and jeon jungkook's name.

two lines because that's what the pregnancy test showing.

and jeon jungkook because of that one night we shared together.

i feel very lethargic. i had a hard time sleeping. i'm so tired from thinking too much. i haven't even come to a conclusion on anything.

i sighed.

"uh..miss park?" i could feel someone tap on my hand, stopping my daydreaming.

"yes, miss kim?" i asked the teacher beside me, kim jisoo.

"miss park chaeyoung!" but then i froze. jisoo is calling me because the principal is calling for me! what an another bad day.

the principal looked so moody.

"miss park, how many times must i call your name?" he asked.

i immediately stand up and bowed in front of everyone, "ah, i'm sorry."

"is that the best you can do? the meeting is only twenty minutes long and you seem to have trouble focusing. how will you teach your students with such a short attention span." what?!

this is like being shot with three bullets in a row.

"i'm sorry." i apologized.

please just let it slide, only this time.

"i'm going to stop here since we have a new teacher here with us, but you need to pay more attention, miss park. do you understand?"

"yes, sir." i bowed again. phew.

but, a new teacher? wait a minute.

"mr. lee tae-yong, i'd like you to follow miss park to her class after the meeting."

why is that name so familiar?

"yes, sir." i could hear his voice. the voice is also the same.

i raised my head to see who is it. freaking lee tae-yong?!

"what? why me?" i asked as soon as i heard my name.

"his subject is art. there aren't any homeroom teachers among the first years that teach art." jisoo whispered to me.

i really didn't hear anything, did i?

"but he doesn't need to shadow me.." i whispered back.

"that's true. then can i take him?" said jisoo while winking her right eye.

"what?" i looked at her, unbelievable.

"isn't he too good-looking to be a teacher? i wonder if he likes to go on trips? i hope he does." said jisoo. i could see her face reddening as she said that, probably create some scene in her mind.

i chuckled slowly.

"but why did we get a new teacher in march? don't we normally get new teachers in april or may?" i asked jisoo.

"i think he has a direct line to the principal, so even if you don't want to do it, try not to make it too obvious." said jisoo.

"i see.." his stupid line. i sighed.

line?

two lines? doo-jool.

i rubbed my flat belly.

"hmm? doo-jool?" i gasped hearing that, what with this sudden moment?

"what?!"

"what's doo-jool? doo-jool as one line, two line? that doo-jool? what a peculiar name!" said jisoo.

i quickly close the book in front of me, preventing jisoo from reading what has written.

she doesn't see his name, right?

"i-it's not a name. i just remembered, that i need to draw two lines in my teaching notes." i said while let out a super nervous laugh.

bam! bam!

"are you talking during our meeting, too?!" the principal scolded both of us while knocking on the table. are we too loud?

"ack, i'm sorry." i also don't know how many times i've apologized today.

he gave me the side-eye look.

"this evening, we'll be having a staff dinner, so i'd like you all to be there. and with that, the meeting is adjourned." the principal continued.

i sighed. another staff dinner that i probably wouldn't go.

after another half an hour, the meeting finally end and each teacher hurriedly left the meeting room for morning class.

knock, knock.

"miss park, it's been a while." i almost forgot that the lee tae-yong is here. everything is messed-up.

"oh, hello." i said plainly.

"oh, oh! you two know each other?" asked jisoo while taking turns looking at me and him. she seemed very interested.

"yes, we went to the same college." i said, do not want to prolong the story.

"is that so?" ah, jisoo. why did your eyes are begging me to set you up with him.

i let out a small chuckle.

don't fall for him, kim jisoo.

this bastard prefers going to motels instead of going on trips.

-

"isn't this great? what a nice coincidence." said tae-yong suddenly, breaking the silence between us ever since we left the meeting room.

"i've missed you, chae. but it seems like you're not too happy to see me?" he added.

this is so annoying. he is so annoying.

"mr. lee, i'd like you to properly address me as miss park chaeyoung here. don't be too open and friendly in front of the students." i turned to him as i said that.

"and you need to be extra careful around the female ones." i added, being the serious i am.

but to my expectations, he suddenly let out a small chuckle. what is it so funny?

he is making me dazed.

"chae, you still jealous? you haven't changed a bit!" he said while walking ahead of me.

what..he really already pressed an anger button on me.

you're the one who hasn't changed at all, you punk.

i met lee tae-yong in my third year of college. he was a famous even as a new student. both of his parents work in education, he graduated second in his class, and he's good-looking, so he was popular and was always surrounded by people.

i was the only one who didn't notice.

he was always there besides me throughout the college year.
