Chapter 61
Based on past experiences, Kyungsoo’s gut feels have always been accurate. That’s why when he sees Yixing and Yifan sneaking into Jongdae’s office, he only watches quietly, one hand covering Park Chanyeol’s muffled screams and dragging him in the other direction.
Months of witnessing the Byun Baekhyun romance saga has trained Kyungsoo’s heart to become very strong now. It would take much more than that to faze him.
“So Professor Kim Jongdae is Yixing hyung and Yifan hyung’s classmate?” Chanyeol says after they’ve reached a safe distance and Kyungsoo has finally released his hand wet with saliva, wiping it on the taller boy’s shirt.
“It’s no wonder he asked about Baekhyun’s ideal type! He’s here to gossip!” Chanyeol shouts.
“Could this be premeditated?” Kyungsoo holds his chin in deep thought.
Meanwhile, inside the office, three people are laughing their heads off.
“I’m telling you. That kid Kim Jongin is so simple-minded. When I asked him, he didn’t even stop to think. He just described Byun Baekhyun’s appearance and personality. On the other hand, Byun Baekhyun did become suspicious, but he still answered. He tried to be vague but anyone can tell who he was describing - big eyes, double lidded, not too fair, not too outgoing, younger than him! These two really have their own little world!”
The refined professor Kim Jongdae slaps his knee in laughter.
“Didn’t I tell you that this would be the best place to intern in?” Yifan holds his back laughing as he tries to support Yixing who’s about to keel over.
“Next time, you can go intern in the junior high department and ask Oh Sehun to describe his ideal type! I promise you it will be even funnier.”
“You two have no idea how hard it was for me when I was listening to Kim Jongin describe someone who’s obviously Byun Baekhyun. I tried to control my expression but anyone could see that I was selling him out. Then there’s Byun Baekhyun who still answered truthfully despite being suspicious. I’m telling you. It’s so fun playing with them!” Jongdae says in a rush, arms flailing.
“Won’t we be caught? Baekhyun’s a smart kid.” Yifan thinks and starts to worry for their safety.
“Don’t worry about it. As long as I’m still their professor, they won’t have the guts to do anything.” Jongdae says after a pause. “If there’s any problem, I’ll just pin it on the both of you.”
Yifan and Yixing are outraged.
Just when they’re about to attack Jongdae, the office door opens and there’s Kim Jongin standing expressionlessly. Holding a thick pile of exam papers, he enters the office calmly, glancing at Yixing and Yifan frozen in place and at Jongdae pretending to be looking at something on his laptop screen. He says slowly: “I’m here to submit the exam papers.”
“Ah? Ah! Okay, just put them there.” Jongdae tries to keep calm but fails miserably.
Jongin walks past Yixing and Yifan and places the exam papers on Jongdae’s desk. Then he turns his head to look at the two slowly.
Jongdae feels a shiver down his spine.
“Yifan Hyung, Yixing Hyung.” Jongin’s voice is low and calm. On the contrary, Yifan and Yixing have distress written all over their faces, raising their hands awkwardly to wave hello. “Hi Jongin! How are you doing? Long time no see!”
“Yes, long time no see. I will tell Baekhyun hyung that you’re here so that he can come say hello.” Jongin answers and turns around to leave.
“We are so screwed.” Seeing the younger boy’s upright back, Yixing feels hopeless. “Baekhyun will be pissed once he hears about it from Jongin.”
“We’ll never hear the end of it.” Yifan feels depressed too.
But to be quite honest, Kim Jongin feels very happy.
If it were only doable, he would announce to the entire world that Byun Baekhyun is Kim Jongin’s, and Kim Jongin’s alone so that no one else would even try to covet for Baekhyun. Actually, he knows that he has insecurity issues, probably because he likes the older boy too much that he considers every person in the world, male and female, as a potential rival.
So when he heard that Baekhyun also described him as his ideal type, he felt extremely excited. Although it looks like a prank pulled by Yifan and Yixing, Jongin doesn’t really mind too much. But Baekhyun…
Baekhyun is pissed, as expected.
In front of Baekhyun’s classmates, Jongin has no choice but to tightly hug a raging Baekhyun to stop him from storming to the office. Then Chanyeol and Kyungsoo start to lead their classmates in chanting for them to kiss.
Realizing that there’s nothing else he can do to stop Baekhyun, he turns the older boy by the shoulders and kisses him out of panic.
Baekhyun shuts up.
The entire class falls into stunned silence.
Chanyeol and Kyungsoo are shocked.
“I was just… We were just playing around… Why did you take us seriously?”
“He actually kissed him…”
In the sudden silence, Baekhyun temporarily forgets who he was planning to confront. He jumps and strangles Jongin, blushing furiously. Jongin doesn’t do anything to resist, realizing happily that although the older boy looks really angry, the fingers wrapped around his neck aren’t really using much force.
Whatever the reason is why Baekhyun is showing him mercy, Jongin isn’t particularly curious to find out.
So he stretches his arms out and pulls Baekhyun who is still jumping up and down like a small animal into his arms. He smiles as the older boy’s classmates react finally, cheering for this shameless couple again.
Baekhyun sees Jongin’s goofy smile and can’t even get himself to be mad. He elbows Jongin sneakily, curling his lips in mock annoyance.
“Hyung…” Jongin pleads softly. He knows what would work on Baekhyun, and the latter proves that he’s right, poking him again, which means he has been forgiven.
And then a loud voice cuts through the cheers.
“Byun Baekhyun, Kim Jongin, come here right this instant!”
The excited crowd looks outside and sees the young supervisor Kim Minseok standing by the window, mouth wide open in shock at what has just transpired.
Chapter 62
The atmosphere in the supervisor’s office is eerily silent.
Kim Jongin and Byun Baekhyun stand in front of the desk, side by side. Behind the desk sits the youngest supervisor in the history of the school, Kim Minseok, looking very sternly at the two young people in front of him.
“Do you have anything to say for yourselves?” With fair and chubby cheeks like steamed buns, Minseok looks very stern.
Baekhyun wants to say something like admitting it’s wrong to be overly affectionate with each other in public, but he’s not sure how much Kim Minseok has seen so he decides it would be best to keep quiet.
“Nothing to say.”
Baekhyun is just about to remind Jongin but the younger boy has already beaten him to the punch and answered. He doesn’t even get the chance to stop him so he steps on Jongin’s foot quickly, the latter’s eyebrows jumping as he looks over, confused.
Baekhyun thinks Jongin is an idiot. He tries to explain: “Sir, Jongin doesn’t mean that. Please don’t misunderstand. He doesn’t know how to talk. We… umm… actually really do not have anything to say.”
Everyone knows that denying always works in situations like this. Baekhyun recalls that there’s no rule in the student handbook prohibiting students from being in relationships, but if the supervisor invents a new rule, this will not be good.
Kim Minseok glares at him. Baekhyun looks down and tries to appear respectful.
“Embracing and cuddling each other in the classroom in broad daylight! Can you two be any more arrogant?” Kim Minseok slams his fist on the desk in anger. “This is a school! Not your house! I don’t care what you two do in your houses but what do you think you’re doing here?”
The more Baekhyun listens, the more he’s beginning to think that something’s not right. He looks up as Kim Minseok continues his lecture: “I’ve heard a lot of things about you two around the campus. You’re quite popular. But you better get this straight. You must strictly control your urges, or else the school morale…”
Wait, this is really not making sense anymore!
At this time, the door opens with a bam.
Kim Jongdae appears by the doorway, standing impressively
What is he doing here? Everyone in the room, including Kim Minseok, wonders.
“Minseok hyung, long time no see!” Jongdae smiles very warmly. “I heard you’re around so I’ve come to visit you. Eh? Byun Baekhyun and Kim Jongin, what are you two doing here?”
Isn’t this a rhetorical question?
Baekhyun glances at Jongdae with his fake look of surprise and at the quiet Jongin, and says: “Hello Professor Kim Jongdae! Long time no see! You’re becoming more handsome.”
Confused at Baekhyun spouting nonsense, Jongin turns to look at him.
“Good!” Jongdae waves his arm in response. “Baekhyun, you are also becoming cuter!”
Kim Minseok cannot help but roll his eyes. “I caught these two displaying affection publicly in their classroom. Professor Kim Jongdae, you’re a newcomer in this school. How do you think they should be punished?”
Jongdae laughs. “Aish! That’s easy! Here! Byun Baekhyun and Kim Jongin, first show me again how you two were displaying affection in class so that I’ll know what to set as your punishment.”
Minseok rages, throwing a book at him: “Can you be any more shameless?”
Jongdae says in mock dismay: “Dear students! It’s no surprise that your supervisor is angry! How can you two be like this? Don’t you know that your supervisor is still single? Don’t you think you’re being too cruel to his poor fragile heart?”
Minseok slams his fist on the table and stands: “Jongdae, that’s enough! You’ve been laughing at me about not being able to get a girl or a boy since you were a freshman in university! What do you think you’re doing? Ha? You think you’re so much better?”
“Minseok hyung, calm down. I’m educating the students. Why do you have to bring up your sad love life?”
Minseok sputters “You! I… When did I…”
Jongdae turns to Baekhyun and Jongin again: “You see? Not being in a relationship for a long time would cause you to become imbalanced, irritable, and irrational like your Professor Minseok here. So being in a relationship is a good thing! But you have to consider the situation. You’re letting the crowd watch a live idol drama for free. You should at least charge a fee or something, right?”
Baekhyun answers weakly: “You’re right. I learned something today.”
“Since you have then you can go now. Don’t let your Professor Minseok see next time. He won’t be able to take it.” Jongdae gives them a look, signalling them to leave. Jongin grabs Baekhyun’s hand and prepares to exit, but Minseok calls them back.
“Don’t you have anything to say for yourselves?”
Seeing Minseok’s furious face, Jongin maintains his blank expression, while next to him, Baekhyun thinks for a moment and then his face breaks out into a standard Baekhyun smile.
“Professor Kim Minseok, you and Professor Kim Jongdae are both really good professors!”
Minseok is dumbfounded, pink lightly dusting his steamed bun cheeks. He swallows back what he wanted to say.
Jongin looks at Baekhyun’s obviously flattering but adorable expression and feels his heart melt. He pulls Baekhyun’s arm and prepares to leave.
“What a powerful sense of possessiveness you have, Kim Jongin!” Hearing Jongdae’s laughing remark, Baekhyun stops and smiles: “Professor Kim Jongdae, you really shouldn’t hang out with Yifan Hyung and Yixing hyung anymore. Or else you’re in danger of becoming evil just like them.”
Jongdae becomes speechless.
When they’re out of the office, Jongin turns around and pinches Baekhyun’s cheek.
“You jerk! Why are you doing that?” Baekhyun is irate again.
Jongin ignores the older boy’s protests and rubs the soft skin under his finger gently. He smiles contently and says: “Actually, I’ve wanted to say this since earlier. Baekhyun hyung, you’re so cute.”
“Don’t think I won’t hit you!”
