Title: Mr. Kim
Paring: Mainly KangTeuk.
Summary: When Kim Youngwoon is a math teacher, and Jungsu needs some tutoring.
Even though Jungsu's heart was beating fast as his crush of two years held his hand, he was still feeling chilly in the cold winter weather, which was strongly evident during night fall. He kept looking forward at his path and where they stepped, his light cinnamon bangs falling onto his eyelids; but not completely covering his eyes, trying his best to hide his blush, but hoping Youngwoon would think that his pink tinted cheeks were more from the cold rather than his touch.
Youngwoon, for some reason, felt like Jungsu was special. He was the first student who entered his heart fairly easily, he liked being kind and caring towards him 'as a little brother' he kept telling himself. 'Hmm.. special, huh? like.. Leeteuk.. Teukie' He thought to himself fondly, unconsciously giving "Teukie" a gentle squeeze of his hand, only now realizing it felt oddly cold, he looked down at the delicate boy who had a beat red face, shivering very lightly, only noticeable by the way his silky hair shifted slightly and how his hand felt in the bigger man's palm "You okay, Teuk- I mean, Jungsu?" he quickly corrected himself, apparently he'd been deeper in his thoughts than he liked to admit. Jungsu did a double take on the name confusion, but answered his teacher with a nod of his head and a gentle smile "I-I'm fine, Mr.Kim" His mouth stuttered out, having been stiff from the cold but not wanting to become a burden on his charming teacher. "Oii, what did I tell you about calling me that?" He said while jokingly shooting a glare at the blonde brunette boy "Oh, sorry. I mean.. um.. Y-Youngwoon" He looked down embarrassed to call his math teacher by his first name, it felt awkward, but at the same time felt nice to have that kind of bond between them, it meant something 'didn't it?' Jungsu thought, but then he looked back at his teacher questioningly as they halted at Jungsu's front door "well then, why did you call me 'Teuk'?" He blinked confused, earning an awkward chuckle from the tall man as he reached up to rub the back of his neck while they stood face to face, already let go of each other's hand "It..was just a thought really, I was thinking about how you're the first of my students who I actually enjoy being around, and you seem like a special person, so I gave you a nickname, which is "Leeteuk" or, my personal favorite, "Teukie" meaning "Special Person" " He replied honestly, having no other choice but to do so " T-Teukie..?" He let the name roll off his tongue for a moment "..I like how it sounds actually" he replied with a genuine smile, Youngwoon's heart skipped a beat at the sight, but he denied it completely "You know.. You have a nickname around school as well. A lot of students call you "Kangin".. Because you're pretty big, strong, and sometimes scary, and everyone likes you" He continued bluntly, only later realizing what he's said and apologized for being so direct, Youngwoon laughed "no, no, I like it. I guess it suits me, don't you think?" He asked with a teasing wink. That might have come off as cocky or showing off to some people, but for Jungsu it seemed attractive and slightly goofy for his teacher to be acting so comfortably with a student, Jungsu nodded with a smile. Youngwoon slowly pulled his student into a warm hug, letting his protective arms wrap around the other's slender frame. After a while, he rubbed the small of his back to give him some warmth before letting go "Now get in there, you're freezing" he said. Jungsu, though surprised at first, hugged back while closing his eyes, he enjoyed the moment before he was released, when his teacher practically commanded him to go in, he let out a gentle chuckle and nodded. Rushing up the steps, he turned around again, seeing his teacher's wide back moving away from him, he called out "Youn..Youngwoon!" The man turned around to see his special student "Thank you for everything!" said student yelled out with his palms cupping the sides of his mouth before lifting one to wave happily, Youngwoon gave a shinning grin and waved beck, he watched as "Leeteuk" got in the house and closed his door before he walked away again, but with very confused emotions.
Youngwoon entered his flat with a slam of the door, more frustrated than angry, he was so confused and frustrated with the way his emotions treated him, seeming more unpredictable than ever. More so than the time he was struggling with his sexuality during high school and was driven to come out to his family and friends. He lost all of his friends during that time, only one of them decided to stay and accepted him for everything he was. His family weren't so lenient though, they kicked him out and disowned him, which is why he decided to keep studying hard and become his own man, becoming a successful math teacher. But this job didn't seem so great at the moment, sure he loved being a teacher and always wanted to work at a nice privet high school, but why the heck would he have to develop feelings for a 'student?' he thought while he sat on the couch, hands covering his face deep in thought and emotional turmoil, he tried denying it the whole time, but after spending time with the angelic boy today, he realized that his feelings are assholes for doing this to him.
Waking up the next day having his sleep cut short because of the sun rays protruding through his window, which provided a full view of the city of Seoul, Youngwoon found himself laying on the couch still in his work clothes, his tie loose and shirt disheveled slightly. He groaned a bit rubbing his back, the tight knots an indication of his body not appreciating him dozing off on the lumpy couch. Thankfully, it was a weekend, he decided to get up and shower before going back to sleep in his more comfortable bed, wondering if he could dismiss his emotions in his dreams at least.
Heechul and Jungsu were playing video games at the Park household, Jungsu, though being bad at these games, still enjoyed playing them "Jungsu-ya, you need to practice more on this, I'm practically killing you each time!" Heechul bloated proudly and teasingly, earning the special high pitched laugh from Jungsu "Ya! Let Hyungie win Chul-ah ~!" He tried his best to beat the level, and he did! bolting up on his feet with his arms up in the air as a victory he let out an excited "Yes!" and let his body fall back on his bed, Heechul pounced onto him and engaging them in a wrestling match involving a lot of tickling making Jungsu run out of breath and turn red from laughter, the end result was the sight of both of them sprawled on the king sized bed panting and out of breath. Jungsu turned his head to look at his best friend after regaining his breath and spoke up "I met Mr.Kim yesterday.." he said with a happy smile "what?? how? did you figure out weather or not he likes guys yet?" was Heechul's reply, he always liked the full details, and Jungsu was more than happy to tell him everything as they sat up comfortably on the bed. "So he calls you Teukie now?" Heechul asked in the end with a smirk "He doesn't, it's just something he mentioned to me" He replied looking down at his lap with a smile "I have to know if that bastard likes ass" was the only thing Heechul added after that. Jungsu laughed at how forward his friend was, and he loved it, it meant that the diva was looking out for him, not wanting Jungsu to get too deeply involved with someone who turns out to be straight in the end. Jungsu curiously asked the raven haired boy "And how do you suppose we'll figure that out?" "You have to kiss him" was the immediate response from said boy, Jungsu widened his eyes and shook his head a firm no. "Either that, or confess like a good boy and see weather or not he'll give you an honest answer" Heechul continued "At least if you kiss him, you'll see an immediate reaction, if he instinctively kissed back then he's gay, or bisexual at least. If he pushed you away immediately with a bad expression it'll clearly mean he's very straight" Jungsu looked down, the latter situation being the one he feared most, he didn't want the man he had feelings for be disgusted or angry at him, so he contemplated doing the "good boy" thing and confess instead.
A couple of days later, Jungsu gathered his courage deciding to confess to his teacher, or at least do something. He gulped down a nervous lump in his throat at the thought. By the time math class started, his heart began throbbing painfully in his chest, but Jungsu did a good job of hiding his nervousness. For some reason, Mr.Kim hasn't given him as much attention in class as he usually does, but he did give him a gentle, teeth-less smile by the time class ended and the bell rang. While the students started filing out of class to chat with their other friends or get some fresh air before their next period, Youngwoon was piling his books and notes together, ready to leave for the teacher's lounge, Jungsu was too nervous to speak, so he grabbed his teacher's hand before he could make it out of the door of the empty classroom. Youngwoon widened his eyes a bit, he was surprised, not expecting his student to hold him back "Are you okay, Teukie?" Him using Jungsu's nickname, in which he made up himself, didn't make it any easier for the younger boy's heart "I-I need to tell you something Mr.Kim.." Jungsu trialed off, regretting letting the words slip out the moment he opened his mouth 'damn you Chul-ah for making me do this!' he cursed in his thoughts. His teacher stepped back in the classroom, closing the door behind him, Jungsu sucked in a deep breath, hoping the extra oxygen would calm him down before letting it out, at this point Youngwoon was concerned 'Is he in trouble? did something bad happen?' "What's wrong?" he asked, concern filled the older man's eyes as he reached his hand and slid his palm over the side of the delicate boy's head. Jungsu enjoyed the other man's caring touch for a moment, but he had to do this, so he gently moved his head away from the other's hand, earning a surprising look "I..I think I love you.. Mr.Kim. I have for quite a while, since you first started as a new teacher here. And..and I kept everything to myself because I knew it would be impossible for a student and teacher to date, and..I only regarded it as a silly little crush. But.. it's been going on for two years, Youngwoon. And.. when you showed me how truly warm and caring you are compared to your hard exterior, I couldn't ignore my feelings any longer.. I just had to tell you, b-but I need an honest answer from you so I could finally move on" Jungsu blurted out, tears formed in the corners of his eyes by the time he finished, and his voice cracked a couple of times during his confession as the adrenaline overwhelmed him. Youngwoon only stared at his young student in surprise, and also admiration that the delicate angle was brave enough to face his emotions, but when he came back to his senses after that short moment of shock, the bell indicating the start of the next period had rang, and students started coming back into class, he cleared his throat a bit and murmured in Jungsu's ear "I'll talk to you later, okay?" with his caring tone, and left the classroom. Jungsu was devastated yet more relaxed at the same time, for one, he got everything off his chest, and secondly, at least his teacher didn't seem angry or disgusted, and he did say he'll answer him later, sometime with no students surrounding them. He quickly started wiping his tears away, which formed by his overwhelmed emotions, he still felt overwhelmed from the confession he made but tried his best to put up a normal front.
After the well known, young teacher, set his things on his desk, he started pacing slowly outside the room thinking about what his student said, and how he'll be able to give a proper reply. When he listened to the boy's confession, he was upset yet ecstatic at the same time, he realized that the bubbly feeling he felt in his chest wasn't a heart condition which coincidentally occurred around Jungsu, But disappointed at the situation in which Jungsu was a student while he was his teacher, the rules in this school weren't taken very lightly. He was also feeling slightly worried about Jungsu, from the way it looked like in the classroom earlier, it seemed like his special student was about to burst into tears if the bell hadn't rang. Youngwoon couldn't get the image of a very sad Teukie out of his head, so he quickly made his way to his classroom again, as he arrived he knocked on the door gently to show his presence to the other teacher "I'm sorry to disturb your lesson, but I need Park Jungsu to come with me urgently" Mr. Kim Youngwoon said calmly, Jungsu was surprised and embarrassed to face his math teacher again 'what does he think about me now? am I not Teukie anymore..?' Jungsu thought as he kept still in his seat, Heechul gave him an encouraging wink. "Alright, Park Jungsu, you are excused from this class" Jungsu nodded and slowly got up and walked out of the classroom, Youngwoon grabbed his hand like he did in the coffee shop and took him to a secluded area of the school campus, where no one could see them "Jungsu-ya" The older man said as he looked at the lovely angelic boy in front of him, said boy only widened his eyes in surprised and fear of what the other man will say. At this point Youngwoon forgot everything he had planned to say to 'Leeteuk', he walked closer to him and gently put a palm against the younger boy's cheek and murmured a loving "Teukie-ah.." before he slowly leaned down and captured the younger boy's lips with his own in a passionate and gentle kiss. After a moment, the older man pulled away, but maintaining the closeness of their faces, only being inches apart. Jungsu was almost panting after that, with a sudden kiss like that 'Kangin' quite literally took his breath away. Youngwoon's eyes trialed over the younger boy's face, he tilted his head to the other side locking their lips together again in another passionate, yet deeper, kiss. At this point Jungsu lost all coherent sense and logic, his legs seeming to feel weak, he curled his delicate fingers into the fabric of Youngwoon's dress shirt, eyes fluttered shut and kissing back just as passionately.
