WE WERE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER

CHAPTER - 7 ( MY SELF)

"Ok, let me introduce myself, as you guys know that my name is Jung Watson, and I am your new English teacher," Mr. Jung made eye contact with everyone as he said those words, but one boy stole his glance who made eye contact with Mr. Jung as he smiled warmly, which was more than enough for anyone to smile back, and Mr. Jung did smile back before coming to the topic he was, I am from the UK, but I am half korean and half British. Everyone was listening to him very attentively, while mumbling 'wow',

"but I'm not permanent right now," as he finished those words all the students went on saying "why" before hearing him out, so he gesture everyone to be silent with his hand, as gesture his hands in air to keep it down, first listen me out guys, "I am just here for the demo classes , as you guys will decide after the class that I should teach you guys or not," as he was finally done , all the students nodded in the agreement to do so.

"Ok , so should I ask some questions or call you guys here for an introduction in English ?" he expected some answers, but no one did, as everyone was looking at each other except for one, " Ok, so I should decide, right? " Mr. Jung said and gained a nod from everyone, "Ok then, let's start the introduction . Hmm, whom should I pick?" he made a questionable face, and everyone prayed not to be picked except some students.

"Tae," he called out while looking at the boy. He did notice his flustered face, he don't know why, but the boy seemed to be cute to him . He saw him standing before saying 'yes sir', he asked the boy, "Will you introduce yourself here?"

TAE POV :

when Tae-suk heard his pet name, he unknowingly got flustered because no one called him like that except for his best friend. He said "yes sir " and stood up and he heard the next sentence too, and he nodded while saying "yes sir".

He got beside the teachers desk and started his introduction in English.

JUNG'S POV :

"Hello everyone, this is Gang Tae-suk, I studied in class 11th in Kyunghee High School, and I am an orphan from Dong Kwang Orphanage, I am studying here from scholarship", ............. he went on, but Mr. Jung didn't listen after those words, he was literally holding back his tears hearing this beautiful boy is an orphan, he could feel his pain, No he had his parents, very loving parents, but he couldn't spend time with them as he was studying abroad , he could feel how lonely this boy is , as he was too back then and now,he still can't be with his parents because they're in oppose for him doing a teaching job instead of some good quality jobs, but he wanted to teach and went on this line , where he only felt lonely without parents care and love,

but still, this boy didn't show any emotion saying these sentences means he has suppressed all his emotions inside him, he doesn't want to show his weak, hurtful and lonely emotions to anyone, he just show his lovely side to everyone, and pretended to be fine and happy. he knows this feeling , he too had did this.

POV END

He stopped him, and while giving him a warm smile, he gently said, "You can go to your seat now", he didn't wanted to go on but he had to until the bell rings, he call out another boy named 'Choi Hyun sik ' to introduce himself, Hyun sik came and gave the introduction but Mr. Jung mind was still stuck with the orphan boy. He had time to time glance at the boy, while other studentscame one by one to gave the introduction, but he wasn't there, he sensed that the boy was not smiling as before and kept staring outside the window, he somehow felt guilty but again he didn't knew it before, did he ? no , right, it wasn't his fault, but still, he felt like he made the boy sad. he was attentive to the class but still thinking about the boy .

he was correcting all mistakes of the students in the self introduction, but kept his eyes on the specific boy, reading all his facial expression, and finally the bell rings, he was about to step outside with his heavy and guiltfull heart, as he heard Tae stoppinghis steps, " Sir wait a minute", Mr. Jung looked at him, Tae again said, " Class bow to the teacher, saying thank you sir", the whole class did as he said, Mr. Jung nodded his head, and something clicked in his mind.

He asked Tae, " Will you come to the staff room? I need your help in something, would you like to help me? He was too much polite and gentle with him

Tae was in confusion but still said, " Yes, sir, I will help you.", he don't know why he was asked to help, but he still went to the staff room with Mr. Jung.

The whole walk to the staff room was silent, but the silence was broken by Mr.jung saying, " I'm sorry,"
