My teacher? Nah he's my husband

Chapter 3

Chapter 5

He was woken up by a loud bang on his desk. The redhead lifts up his head then greeted by his teacher standing across him in the empty class. "What do you want disturbing my sleep like this?" Honestly speaking he's quite irritated that his sleep is disturbed like this especially that the man in front of him is fully aware of it.

He doesn't have work last night but he spends it video calling his teacher because he finally decided to get his heaps of assignments done and hand them in this morning. All of the teachers were shocked by that but they know better than to say nothing about it and just gladly accept it. He wonders how the man still has energy left in him because he stayed up helping the redhead till morning.

"Why did you send back an unsigned letter?" He sits across the redhead. "Isn't it obvious? Because I don't want to join the field trip, I mean I never did and no one gives a f**k so what's the matter really."

"Language Tuan and you do have someone to give a damn about you which is me." Mark gives him a 'seriously?' face. "Mark, you don't have enough certificates to further study so imma make you join every activity that exists in this school as much as possible until you meet the minimum requirement needed to enroll into a university."

"But you do know that I don't have a guardian to sign it."

"You're not gonna fool me with that." He said before taking out a pen and sign on the empty space. "And who gave you the right to sign that, you're not my guardian," Mark said with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't know where did you learn that but here in Korea your class teacher is counted as your guardian. And it's been giving me a bad headache every time I got a call from the police station when your classmates are caught making trouble outside of school. Thank god you're not one of them because your record has been clean ever since you enrolled in this school, I praise you for that."

"Thank you for the assessment but honestly I don't have any intention of joining the field trip." The man in front of him let out a big sigh.

"And can you give me one reason why?" He does have his reason actually. First, he has no friends and secondly, he has worked but he can't possibly tell that to his teacher now right.

"I'm just lazy."

"You ain't giving me that s**t Mark Tuan imma drag you along no matter what." Now it is his turn to let a heavy sigh. "You won't give up, aren't you?"

"You know it."

Pinching his nose bridge, he let out another sigh. "Fine but I can't guarantee you that I will stay till the end of the trip."

"Don't worry, will keep my eyes on you the whole time." He said with a wide grin, earning him another sigh from the redhead.

'Why is this man so persistent for god’s sake. Looks like I'll be absent from work for a few days.'

D-day and Mark are sure not feeling even close to excited about it. He lazily drags his body out of the elevator and walks out of the residence with his backpack on his right shoulder. He was only 5 steps away when a honking startled him on his track.

He turned around, ready to swear at the one at fault "What the actual fu-" but it stuck in his throat when he saw that it is his physics teacher in his red Giulia Quadrifoglio. "Hop in boi," Jackson said through the rolled-down window. Mark does as he's told.

The moment he steps into the car he was stunned at how hot Jackson is. His aviator decorating his face, short sleeve well-fitted shirt shows off his toned body, his jeans wrapped perfectly around his thigh his hair flicked to the right and a simple ear cuff that matches perfectly with it and all he can do at that moment were staring.

"Take a picture, it will last longer." That brings back Mark into reality. He averts his gaze with a red shade creeping up his cheeks. "What a narcissist." He whispers under his breath but loud enough for Jackson to hear. "You gotta start with respecting your teacher or you won't survive once you step out into the society ya know."

"I really want to defeat you, just once." Hopelessness is evident in his voice, causing Jackson to laugh at his smol student.

"What are you doing here actually?" Mark asked. "Making sure you're coming so I came to fetch you." And Mark gave up the thought of defeating his teacher.

As he steps on the brake at the traffic light he turns towards his unbuckled student, seeing that his ear is plucked with his earphone. Mindlessly he reaches for the belt on the other side, leaving Mark wide eye and breathless at how close their face is.

After making sure he buckles it properly Jackson retreat to his seat then came face to face with a shocking look at Mark. "Well, prevention is better than cure ya know." Shrugging his shoulder, he said before stepping on the gas as the light turned green.

Mark could only just let out a disbelief sigh before returning his gaze out of the window, and of course, his heart that started to beat wildly didn't come unnoticed to him.

A minute went by and suddenly his left earpiece is plucked out of his still red ear. He turns around and looks at his teacher. "What do you want to eat before we arrive at school? It's gonna be a long ride after this."

"Nah, breakfast is never my cup of tea."

"Not your cup of tea? Breakfast is not an option but a must. No wonder you're so thin and weak. I don't care, you gotta start eating breakfast from today." He said then make a turn at the corner.

"You're my mom or what? I thought you just gonna help me with my grade, not my life."

"Having Jackson Wang as your teacher means having your life invaded until you reach success. So, live your life well or you'll have me organize it for you."

"You're unbelievable." He breathes out.

"I know." He said, flashing his dazzling smile.

They step out of the car and enter the restaurant with Mark walking ahead of Jackson and find a table where there are fewer people.

"You sure hate people don't ya?" Jackson asks as he sits across the redhead. "You know it," Mark replies just before a waiter came to their table. As cliché as it is, yes, the waiter flirt with Jackson before she went back with their order, of course after earning a death glare from Mark. Don't get him wrong he just feels sick looking at her, not because he was jealous ok absolutely not.

"Why is that?" That got Mark to stop glaring at the poor girl. "Why is what?"

Chapter 6

"Why do you hate people so much, I mean those who you don't even know."

"Well everyone has things they hate and mine is people, do I need a reason for that?" He's trying to stop Jackson from being more curious about him. "Well yes because it's not a good habit for you to hate everyone without any reason." Mark was silent, thinking of how to reply to him. He let out a sigh before finally give up on it.

"Judgement." That one word is enough for Jackson to understand.

"So that is why you're not making any efforts to get close even with your classmate?" Mark nods at that.

"It's not that I never make any efforts. How to say this... I had friends but somehow each of them started to leave me alone so I guess I've given up on trying to make new friends because I know one day when they are tired of me, they would leave."

"Not everyone is the same, Mark. You hate judgment but you are doing it." Somehow, it's like he can hear a button inside him is being clicked by Jackson because what he said was right.

"I guess I kinda get why you're accepted as a teacher." He said as his lips stretch forming a small smile.

- Friends

Both buses are filled with students who join the field trip. Everyone is well seated with their seatmate except a specific redhead who's still lost doesn't know where to sit until someone take a hold of his arm. He looks over his shoulder and sees a brunette smiling at him. "Wanna sit with me?" Asked the boy. He gives a simple nod and sits beside him. It's not like there is any vacant left so why not, he thought.

"I'm Youngjae, what about you?" Youngjae holds out his hand. He's not exaggerating but this Youngjae's smile is way too bright. Mark takes his hand and returns the smile. "I'm Mark."

Matching his smile, he is also talkative and hype and not to forget that his laugh is unique. Throughout the whole bus ride, Youngjae doesn't stop talking to him, and as much as he hates a talkative person, he just can't bring himself to say no to Youngjae because the boy was way too cute to hurt.

He guesses Jackson is right, not everyone is the same.

He found out that Youngjae's class is just next to his and he also has other 3 friends with him and he would like to introduce Mark to them. Mark can't believe that he's making a new friend in such a short time.

The bus ride was crazy with the student playing around and sing karaoke while dancing their butt off. Honestly, Mark thinks that it was fun. Maybe it is not wrong for him to join the field trip.

After a 2 hours ride, they arrive at ITX-Cheongchun Station before they finally reach their destination which is Nami Island. Just like in the bus, Youngjae invites Mark to sit with him on the train.

******

It was already in the evening when they arrive at their first destination on Nami island which is Gangchon Rail Bike. All of the students are freed to go with their group of friends but they must come back to their tour bus 2 hours later. As promised, Youngjae pulls Mark along with him to meet the aforementioned friends which rode the other bus.

"Guys look we got a new friend." Their heads turn towards the redhead. "Hey I know you but I forgot your name." One of the guys with long limbs said. Mark has long forgotten how to talk with a stranger so he's all nervous now. "I'm M-mark."

"Ooooh you're the one who's the kids are afraid to approach but you're nice tho." Said the other guy with a really thin leg. "Afraid to approach...?" He softly asks. "Yup because they said you look like a creep. But I think it is just the aura that you gave off is creepy but hey what a cute face you got there." Said the thin-legged guy.

"Guys you gonna scare him." Said a guy who's been standing quietly behind them. "Hi I'm Jaebum, I don't know if you know this but I'm E class monitor and sorry for what they said, they can be blunts at times."

"It's not blunt Jaebum, it's honesty, by the way, I'm Yugyeom from B class." Said the long-limbed guy. "I'm Bambam from A class, nice to know you, Mark." All of them flash him a smile. Gladly he returns it. "Nice to know you guys and sorry Jaebum I don't realize we're in the same class."

"Well, now you know," Jaebum said. "Wanna join us for the rail bike ride?" All of them look at him with expectant looks. "Sure."

"Let's go go go~~" They put their arms around his shoulder and drag him along with them. "We got a new member~" Sung Youngjae.

******

They arrive at the hotel they are staying at around 7 pm and they were asked to find their own roommate because the teachers know the kids won't appreciate it if they can't room with their friend. In one room, three people, Mark end up with Jaebum and Youngjae while Bambam with Yugyeom and one of Bambam's friends from his class.

"So, you guys are free to wander around the island but make sure to inform one of your teachers before you go out and after you guys came back!" Said Jackson as he hands out the room card to the students. He was relieved to see that there is no lost-looking redhead but instead, he's socializing with his schoolmates.

'Good thing I forced him to come along.' Whispered his heart.

"And make sure you guys gather at the lobby at 8 tomorrow because there's an activity we arranged for you guys " Added Mr. Min. "Is it fun though?" Asked one of the students from the crowd. "I dare to cut my finger if it's not fun." That earned him a "Nice!~~" from the kids.

- Little thing

As promised, the next day they went to Petite France for a little game that the teachers have arranged for them. Strangely, the place is empty except for them that is the only human being there. Ms. Nara gathered all of them to brief them about the game.

"First of all, this place is rented by our principal just to let you guys have fun together since this is your last year, So, the game that we are going to play today is...hide and seek-" before she finishes her sentence, the students start complaining about how childish it is.

"Can you guys just chill and listen first? Show some respect to your teacher." Said a voice owned by none other than their physics teacher and of course all the female students stop whining and did not forget to throw him some flirty glances. But a certain redhead just can't shift his gaze as it stuck on the man who spoke a while ago.
