FRIENDS, that should sound weird, right? But no, it's not weird for him , cause he does have teachers as his friends, and he is friendly with every teacher. Ya ya, except for some teachers who really don't like him, don't know why, though.
Matter of fact is, The teacher is new, and it's his first day, so he was just a little bit, surprised about it, but he was more than happy from inside and excited to make a new friend
And the butterflies in his stomach really did a great job, as he slowly nodded his head in the agreement, his cheek decorated by the red cherry color ,as he was blushing.
"Thank you, Tea," ohh not again, but Mr. Jung said his nickname again, and Tae was going crazy his little heart can't take too much happiness in just one day,
He just slowly mumbled enough to hear, " No , I should thank you , sir." Oww, he is cute, right? I'm not saying it , it's just what Mr. Jung was thinking .
He chuckled examining the expression on Tae's face "I think you should go now ", ya he really should cause he is late for his next class , of course it's not his fault, he was just mesmerized by his teacher that he couldn't count on the time,
As he saw the time on his watch, his eyes became big. Oh no, he was 10 min late , he was surely going to get a good scolding because the next teacher really didn't like him
He hurriedly bowed and said, " Sorry and thank you, sir, I'll be going now, otherwise Mr. Choi sir will really be mad at me. "
He read the expression and he was worried because Tae was tensed "Should I tag with you , I will tell him that I took you for some work "
"No, no, it's ok, sir , I will manage," as he said those words he left from there running as fast as he could. Leaving a worried person behind him, who was keeping eyes on the leaving boy.
***************************************
Tae was on the gate to get permission to inter the class, but Mr. Choi stopped him in his way and was just insulting him
"What do you think you are ?ha, you are a class president, don't you know this? or you think you the principal here or some prime minister that everyone have to wait for you until you come? How could you be so irresponsible? where have you been busy? don't be such a b........" he was cut off or more appropriately stopped in the middle of his insulting session for Tae
yes, he ( Mr. Jung )was worried about the boy so he just kept his things in the staff room and hurriedly came after Tae noticing he was still outside the class, and the teacher was insulting the little boy , even he was not in the fault , so he had to do something and he did.
"Mr. .... hmm, sir, you know you are speaking to a student ,right? how can you be this rude? at least hear him out, wh...."he was calmly explaining to Mr. Choi, but no, the man really has something against the little boy, as he cut off Mr. Jung
" You don't know him sir, he is such an attention seeker. He really needs to be scolded....." And again Mr. Jung couldn't control such an insult forth boy who did nothing wrong as he spoke in the middle of Mr. Choi again,
"He was with me , I had some work and I needed his help so I asked him to help me, he wasn't playing around or doing anything to get attention, sir " he Clearfield all the things while imphesiezing on word 'sir' to make him ( Mr. choi ) guilty, but he wasn't guilty though cause he just need reasons to make him ( Tae ) feel embarrassed, but still to make his image he clears his throat and said " come in " for Tae and went straight to his desk.
while Tae just mumbled thank you to Mr. Jung is not so audible sound but Mr. Jung did hear it and nodded his head, and he gestured Tae to inter in the class , Tae too nodded his head and said, "Thank you, sir," after turning to the Mr. Choi side and bowing to him he inters the class while as last time he glance at the door to look at the teacher or FRIEND who helped him , without even asking for the help .
he saw Mr. Jung disappeared, he too looked at the board to write down the notes after taking the cope , book and instrument box out of the bag , he did hear Mr. Choi saying "let's get back to the topic , because we already late because of someone's interruption,"he didn't mind hearing those words and those giggles from his classmates for his mocking, as he heard it daily.
but he was happy, happy that is how Mr. Jung defended him, and yes, it did something to his heart that he couldn't understand, but he could feel happy, happy thinking about his new teacher or a NEW FRIEND.
..................................................................................................
Days passed , Mr. Jung became a permanent teacher there, and their friendship was getting less awkward, as now they will sit together to have lunch in the canteen within the group.
the group would include Tae, Mr. Jung, Mr. Han, Hyun sik, and two more teachers, as the table contain only six seats, so they all would sit and eat as do some chit-chat too,
this was all Mr. Jung idea as he saw the boy and his oneand only friend having their lunch alone, he suggested Mr.han to sit with them together, but it did felt awkward as he never did before even he was very close to Tae and was his friend too, but he shrugged it off when Mr. Jung told him to do so and he did, before getting the permission from the boy and he was more than happy to have his lunch with his friends which he could never do,
After that two more teacher joined them one was Mr. Kim and another was Ms. Jeon they both adore the little boy and they were even friendly too , so seeing their teachers getting there they too get tagged along with them and now they become more friendly and less awkwardness between them as they started knowing each other too........
