“Chanyeol left his resign letter at my desk last week.” Joonmyeon tells Yifan at the moment the man steps into the teacher’s lounge. The Principal has his tea in hands, hot steam coming from it as he sips carefully to not burn his tongue. “And it’s really amazing how I found a replacement so fast. He’ll come by today.”
“I can’t believe he left without telling me.” Yifan kicks the nearest trash bin and drinks some coffee, it’s so bitter he holds the urge to spit it on Joonmyeon’s face.
“He was in a rush, not sure why. And you, stop damaging school property, what kind of role model you want to be for the kids?” the Principal leaves the room, he probably has some papers to take care of.
With a loud deep sigh, Yifan finishes his horrible coffee and walks all the way to his class, today he’s alone, no Chanyeol to help him out with the brats.
The moment he enters the room something hits him square in the face and a shout of ‘THE MONSTER IS HERE’ follows behind and he bends down to get the object that was fired against him, it’s one pink hippo plushie. Yifan is lucky it wasn’t one of the plastic trucks.
He puts on his white stupid and ridiculously girly apron and he looks at the boys (yes, only boys, the girls have a separated class, since the boys started to scream ‘COOTIES’ on the first day while wildly running around, and Joonmyeon was nice enough to give the girls another classroom and female teachers, saving them from the crazy boys that now Yifan has to take care of) then crouches down to have a talk to the kid that hit him.
“Sehun, you can’t throw your toys at people.” he lectures the kid who’s glaring intently at him.
“But you’re teacher Yifan.” he cutely tilts his head to the side and receives a hard push on his back and falls, he saves his little face from hitting the ground by grabbing Yifan’s pants.
“Hands off my pants kid.” Yifan is also lucky that he’s wearing a belt. “Jongdae, I guess you find this utterly funny, don’t you? Come here, right now.”
“The monster will eat me, help. Baekhyun, HELP!” he yells and runs, trying to hide behind his friend, but the latter walks up to Yifan and asks the man to come down so he can tell him something.
“Teacher Fan, where’s teacher Yeol?” Baekhyun asks as he rubs his eyes, still sleepy, he’s one of the first kids to arrive, and sometimes Yifan feels sorry for him, having such busy parents mustn’t be easy.
He sees Jongdae screaming at Kyungsoo who’s silently playing with a puzzle, that kid is evil, Yifan remembers him silently looking at him while drawing. When he picked it up it was an illustration of him tied up to a chair with the kids running around him, the worst part was that he was on fire.
Getting his attention back to the pouting kid in front of him, Yifan sits and pats the free spot beside him. Baekhyun obeys and sits.
“Teacher Yeol had some matters to take care of. He won’t come back that early, so Principal Joonmyeon found another teacher to take his place.” Yifan sighs, that new teacher Joonmyeon mentioned should’ve arrived already, and the kid on the verge of crying in front of him is no help.
“Baekkie, do not cry.” Minseok comes up and hugs the shaking kid. “You can have my cookie.”
Baekhyun nods and holds the hand of his friend; Minseok pulls him so they can play with Luhan who’s pretending the dolls are having a fight.
“The monster is getting up!” Jongdae screams for afar and Yifan is taking the dust out of his clothes when hears that troublemaker smirking at him. “The monster is looking at me!”
“The monster is going to catch you!” Jongdae lets out a strangled shriek when Yifan shouts and all his 187cm glory hovers over him while he tries to run.
“You brat! I’m going to show you the monster!” Jongdae runs for his life and trips on Zitao, who was lying on the ground while giggling and talking to his baby panda plushie, and now is crying because Jongdae is a ‘monster’ and he’s going to have his kid ass wushu-ed.
“I’m sorry Tao Tao, don’t beat me please.” Jongdae begs and lets out a scream when his feet leave the ground and he sees Yifan’s face in front of him.
“The monster is going to eat me, the monster is going to eat me, when it’s my funeral please bury me with my toys.” he tries to get out of Yifan’s grip but fails. He giggles when Yifan starts to spin him around laughing. The kid is a troublemaker but is also one of Yifan’s favorites.
But Yifan is clumsy and his long limbs are no help when he accidentally stomps on a plastic duck and fall backwards, lucky for the third time today when his head hits a cushion instead of the ground or one of the kids, he’d have killed one.
“Teacher Monster Fan Fan is trying to kill me!” Jongdae tries to release Yifan’s hands off of him and the teacher is not moving because there is someone at the door looking at them.
“Get up kid.” he says as he lifts his body up and straightens his hair. The person at the door is still looking at him and Yifan nods, showing that the stranger can enter; maybe he’s the new teacher.
“Hello,”
“Jongin.” he offers Yifan a smile and motions to shake hands with him. “I’m the new teacher, sorry for being late at my first day. What is happening here? Do I need to wear this apron? “
“Yifan.” he says and takes Jongin’s hand for a shake, Yifan’s hand is giant, just like the rest of his anime like body. “Nothing is happening the kids are being themselves and I’m being myself and what’s wrong with the apron?”
“It’s ultra-gay.” he eyes Yifan up and down and then to the kids, they gave up on the puzzles and plushies and all the running and are just playing dolls with each other.
“The kids too.” Baekhyun walks up to them and pokes Yifan with a pencil he took out from god knows where.
“Who are you?” he asks whining. “Where’s teacher Yeol?”
“I’m teacher Jongin, and you?” he asks the little boy who looks like he wants to stab him.
“Where’s teacher Yeol?” he asks insistently and Jongin sighs.
“I don’t know about teacher Yeol, but we can play right now.” he ends the talk and grabs the other apron on the hanger, it’s as big as Yifan’s but he can manage to wear it without problems. “Go get your crayon and we can draw something.”
Baekhyun runs back at his friends and forces them to get up.
“But Baekhyun!” Jongdae whines. “Barbie was about to go on a date with Ken.”
“Are you guys following the theme of ‘what I want right now’ for the drawings?” Jongin asks the kids who are too busy doodling to look up.
“Yes, teacher Jongin!” they say in unison and Jongin hums, the kids are so obedient.
“How come they do what you say?” Yifan asks outraged, he have been here for the past three years and the kids still don’t respect him, aside from Yixing who’s always taking a nap.
“Because I’m good looking and hot.” Jongin shrugs and sits at the chair next to Yifan’s. Yes, yes you are, Yifan wants to yell, when he saw him at the door, he didn’t think ‘what the fuck is this guy doing here?’ but ‘what the fuck is this hot guy is doing here?
He rolls his eyes instead and stares at the kids; Jongdae looks up and makes a face at him. Oh that brat.
After a few minutes, Jongin declared that the kids would show the final results of their drawing and explain what it means.
“Baekhyun, you go first.” Yifan points at the kid sucking his thumb and waits.
“This is me.” he points at the brown haired boy on the paper and then at the orange haired man. “And this is teacher Yeol.”
“You were supposed to draw what you want right now, not people Baekkie.” Luhan points out from his spot and Baekhyun glares at him.
“I want teacher Yeol here and now.” Baekhyun stomps his foot and Minseok tries his best to persuade the boy to not cry. It works and Yifan is silently happy that Minseok is always the responsible one among them all.
“Jongdae you go next.” Jongin demands and the kid proudly stands up and shows off his drawing.
Just like Baekhyun there are two people on the paper.
"This is teacher Yifan and this is Me." he explains and Yifan raises his arm. "Yes?"
"Why are you taller than me on the drawing?" the man asks and Jongdae giggles.
"Right now, I want to be taller than monster teacher Fan Fan. And also manlier, but this I can do already." with nothing more to say he goes back to his sit while Yifan glares at him and whispers 'I'm watching you brat' and Jongin tells it's Sehun's turn now.
The boy didn't draw people, at least.
"I want milk. Teacher Yifan, can you get me some right now?" Sehun throws the drawing away and approaches the said man, trying to jump on his lap but he's too small to reach it, so he pouts, trying to convince Yifan to get him what he wants.
Yifan looks away; the kid knows already that he's a sucker for aegyo. And a 6 years older is taking advantage of a 24 years old grown man.
He groans, because yes, he's granting the kids' wish.
"Okay come with me." He takes Sehun's hand and pulls him to the kitchen.
While they're there, Jongin keeps the presentations going.
Yixing drew a bed, because he said "I want to sleep and I want a fluffy pillow and a warm blanket."
Minseok drew a book and he said that "I want a book because I read all of my books at home already." Clever kid, Jongin thinks, he'll probably be very successful in the future.
Zitao drew a beach, "I like the sand and the water and I once saw the sunset with my parents. I wanna see it again." Romantic at heart, is what Jongin assumes.
When Yifan comes back, Sehun is drinking his warm milk (8g of fat, just the way he likes) right beside him and it's Luhan's turn already.
"I draw a rainbow because I want to see one now." Luhan hugs his paper and smiles.
"That's lame." Jongdae shouts from where he is, Baekhyun being his cushion as he lazily looks at the ceiling.
"No, it's not. Yours is lame and I didn't say anything about it. How can you be taller than teacher Yifan? I bet you'll be even smaller than Principal Joonmyeon." Luhan dries the tears on his eyes and he runs to sit beside Zitao and his panda.
"Last but not least, Kyungsoo." Jongin says smiling at the boy frowning at his surroundings.
"This is me." he points at the black haired small boy on the paper. "And this is teacher Yifan eating what I cooked him."
"You want me to eat something?" Yifan looks at the boy, maybe he'll poison the food, who knows.
"Yes, and then you'll like it so sooo much that you'll eat more and more and then explode." Jongin laughs at the boy's crazy (scary, on Yifan's opinion) idea.
"Okay boys, what do you want to do now?" Jongin asks while Yifan tries to convince Sehun that only one glass of milk is enough.
"I'm hungry." someone says.
"Can Barbie go on her date with Ken now?" Jongdae asks, both arms raised and the other boys jump around him.
"That's a great idea." The boys, except Kyungsoo, run back to all the dolls they left an hour ago and Jongin sighs, he was thinking about playing tag outside.
"Let them be. It's always like this. I swear, the girls on the other class are probably playing board games or hide and seek and we're stuck here with boys playing Barbie." Kyungsoo gets up and walks up to the talking teachers.
"Teacher Yifan, teacher Yifan." he jumps up and down and he's never like this, something must be wrong.
"Yes kid?" Kyungsoo's face twists and Yifan is worried and he gets up.
"Can you go with me to the restroom? I need to pee." Yifan was worried by nothing but the boy is jumping in front of him and he doesn't want to clean the floor if Kyungsoo pisses on his pants. "The boys are playing with those stupid dolls and I don't like to go alone."
And Yifan thought Kyungsoo was the manlier one.
He takes the boy by the arm and runs to the restroom.
After a few minutes they come back. Kyungsoo smiling like there is no tomorrow as he thanks Yifan and sits at his usual place to finish his puzzle.
"What a hardworking teacher you are." Jongin praises Yifan and sits closer.
"I know. You should get your ass to do something." Yifan hits Jongin's shoulders lightly and bursts out laughing. "I can teach you how to take proper care of the kids."
"I do know how to take care of the kids. That's why they love me already and mock you all the time." Jongin sounds confident, too confident and Yifan wants to get rid of that expression, with his lips maybe.
Because since the first time he saw him at the door, he had the sudden urge to touch Jongin. He's too lame to make a move but he needs to give it a shot.
"So," he starts and wiggles his eyebrows. "Do you want your senior to teach you his ways with the kids?"
"Aren't kids like puppies?" he asks, brows hitched as he thinks. "I mean, give them food, toys and some care and that's all."
"I don't think so." Yifan shakes his head and points at the kids. "Some of them are really different, especially Jongdae."
"I think you'll have to teach me through the days then." Jongin gets up and nears Kyungsoo to help him with the puzzle but he comes back to stand near Yifan in less than a minute. "The kid said he doesn't want my help."
Yifan laughs and with an 'I told you so' he deviates his head from the plushie Sehun threw at him. It hits Jongin though.
Yifan meets Jongin at the next day, he’s having some coffee at the teacher’s lounge, wearing just jeans and a plain shirt, Yifan holds the urge to not turn away and slam his head on the wall, because the youngest knows how to rock this outfit.
Instead, he straightens up and pulls out his cool act. “Ready for today? I can teach you properly about how the kids behave.”
Jongin bits his lower lip slightly and Yifan looks away. He can’t grow a boner just by this, and also the kids can see it and he can’t let it happen. He bids goodbye to Jongin with a ‘see you in class’ and runs away.
He enters the room and closes the door, leaning against it as he sighs in relief.
“The giant monster is here, let’s take him down.” as usual, this is the first thing he hears, from obviously Jongdae. Little brat convinced the other kids to try to climb him up.
“Kids no!” Yifan remains calm but when Baekhyun bites his index finger, he lets out a desperate shout and he tumbles forward, the kids are soon surrounding him and running.
His face hurts from the impact and Jongin opens the door at the exact moment to witness the whole scene. Leaning against the frame of the door, he snickers at Yifan’s misery.
“Teacher Yifan.” Minseok crouches down next to his lying figure. “You know we love you, right?”
“How could I not know?” Yifan replies and laughs along.
“Good. Now get up, or teacher Jongin won’t like you back if you keep embarrassing yourself like this.” Minseok whispers to a surprised Yifan. Little devil is pretty clever.
With the help of Minseok he gets up, the kid pushes him up to his feet and Yifan pats his head, the kid is also really strong.
“Teacher Jongin!” Baekhyun’s high pitched voice echoes and he runs to the door to pull the teacher inside the room. “Can we play something new today?”
“What do you want to play?” Jongin asks Baekhyun and the rest of the kids who are just staring at Yifan still lying on the ground.
“Can we play pretend?” Jongdae asks with his arm raised. “Then you, teacher Jongin, and teacher Fan Fan here can be the mom and dad and we’ll be the children.”
‘What did I do wrong?’ crosses Yifan’s thoughts because Jongin agreed and just slapped his butt while saying Yifan will be the mom and he’ll be the dad.
“Dinner is ready.” Yifan says rolling his eyes, those kids are the end of his image, and carries an imaginary tray of food.
“Kids, thank your mom for taking care of us.” Jongin says mocking Yifan, the latter totally but not totally ignoring his words, because seriously, why would he even agree to this?
“Mom Fan, this tastes weird.” Kyungsoo takes the imaginary food and pretends to eat. “I think you should try out these cookies I made yesterday.”
Surprisingly, Kyungsoo takes a pack of cookies from the pocket of his jacket and Yifan’s eyes go wide.
“Kyungsoo, I told you to not bring those cookies.” Jongin hisses and Yifan stares at them, his gaze judging the interaction of the two.
“But hyung, mom said I could.” the boy hides the cookies and runs to hide behind Yifan’s long legs. “I wanted to give them to teacher Fan.”
“But they’re mine. Oh God, why would auntie say this?” Yifan watches silently while Jongin and Kyungsoo fight over a pack of cookies and processes the fact that Jongin is Kyungsoo’s cousin, maybe that’s how Joonmyeon hired him.
“Are you kids done? Minseok, I appoint you to be the dad, teacher Jongin can be the older child.” Yifan laughs at Jongin’s pouty face and Kyungsoo gives him the cookies as he wanted.
“Did you see today’s schedule?” Yifan asks after they finished playing pretend. Tuesday’s are the only days of the week in which they go to the kitchen to make something, usually a cake or a pie and maybe it’ll be of some help for him to start his wooing plans.
If the kids don’t decide to ruin his life.
“Jongdae, I’m warning you. If you and Baekhyun decide to have another flour fight, I’m calling your parents.” appointing an accusing finger to the boys, he takes Luhan and Zitao by their hands and walks to the kitchen. He passes the girls class and sighs, he sees the teachers and he swears he doesn’t want to have nothing to do with Jessica Jung ever again. Last time, she blamed him for the disappearance of her cupcake when it was clearly Chanyeol and kept on bugging him about it for the rest of the year.
Jongin curiously follows them, he forgot to take a look at the schedule and he has no idea about what they’ll be doing now.
“Okay, today it’ll be a cake kids.” Yifan says and Jongin sits somewhere because he’s not doing anything in a kitchen, unless Yifan wants to burn the school down.
“You get up and come help me.” Jongin feels himself being yanked out of his place and he stands up with another apron in hands. “Take the flour, the milk and no Sehun; you can’t have your milk, not now.”
“Teacher Yifan?” Yixing asks from the door and the man looks up searching for the owner of the voice. “Can we just watch you bake today? So you can show teacher Jongin how to do a cake. I think he doesn’t know how.”
“You just want to sleep.” Jongdae accuses but doesn’t object at the idea, neither does Yixing, who nods and sits down leaning against the wall.
“You guys are free to play then; we’ll make something for you to eat.” Yifan shoos the boys out of the place and turns to Jongin watching as the youngest is doing what he asked him to and also gathering the utensils.
“Are you sure you want my help?” unsure, Jongin plays with the beater and Yifan doesn’t really need his help but he wants him here so he can talk to someone.
“Yes. All the help available is needed.” he lies. “Between, I never go to ask, how old are you?”
“I’m 21, why you ask?” Jongin found the chocolate powder and is now shoving his finger inside it to get a taste and Yifan is not amused.
“Nothing, I just thought you looked like 18.” I just didn’t want to be a pedophile, he thinks. “Stop getting the powder dirty with your finger, only god knows where your hands have been.”
“Teacher Yifan?” someone asks from behind and the said man looks down to see Sehun.
“What?” he crouches down and waits for the kid to say whatever he wants, so he can go back to do his business.
“Can I have my milk now?” Yifan gives up; he’ll make the kid the goddamn milk.
In five minutes, he finishes Sehun’s drink and urges the kid to leave as he searches for Jongin and the latter is asleep on the counter, head supported by his arms.
He looks angelic even, and Yifan pokes him awake not bothering if he was having a nice sleep or not. Jongin jolts and looks around, eyes clouded and he groans, he can’t stay awake until late at night playing something on his computer anymore.
“Here use the beater and mix that stuff.” Yifan points at the milk, chocolate powder, eggs, flour and sugar. “I’ll teach you.”
Jongin does as ordered, he puts everything on the same bowl and start mixing, but he’s not used to it, Yifan sighs but smiles.
“Here.” he approaches Jongin and holds the beater along with the youngest hand and restarts moving the mixture, Jongin’s cologne enters his nostrils and he tries to not sniff into his hair. “Don’t make a mess; we don’t want to waste any ingredient, do we?”
Something tickles Yifan’s leg and he backs away from Jongin, letting out a shriek and just after it, he hears a laugh.
“Wow, I didn’t know your voice could go this high.” Jongin bursts out laughing and Yifan starts running after Jongdae and Baekhyun who have a twig in hands.
“Let me show you which book you should read for the kids.” Yifan tells Jongin the other day. After the second hand embarrassment Jongdae and Baekhyun caused him last week, he decided that it’d be safer to not near that kitchen again. Screw Tuesdays.
“Come here, I don’t bite.” Jongin gives him a look that screams ‘prove me’ but he does indeed come closer, and Yifan is more than pleased to be able to smell the same cologne again.
“Aren’t all the books here for kids? Like Le Petit Prince.”
“Yes, so just choose whatever you like.” Yifan is invading Jongin’s personal space, but Jongin is not complaining, or he just didn’t notice.
“Look, teacher Yifan is almost hugging teacher Jongin.” Sehun screams and Jongin looks back to meet Yifan’s chest in front of him, maybe Yifan was too close.
“I’m-.” the little scared yet cocky look Jongin is giving him is not innocent, and the kid laughing at him is not amusing. “No milk for you Oh Sehun!”
Today Yifan took out from his closet one of his old leather pants, and he doesn’t know why the hell he’s wearing that right now, it’s not tight but it’s not comfortable either.
The face Principal Joonmyeon makes when he sees him is somehow disapproving but he doesn’t voice it. Or that was hat Yifan thought.
“Look Yifan, don’t start doing the same thing my nephew was trying to do before entering the school. Jongin, that brat wanted to use those horrendous tight jeans and if he can’t you can’t too.” so that’s why Principal Joonmyeon found a replacement so fast.
A little stunned he enters his class to see Jongin already there.
Jongin stares him up and down and Yifan puts on his apron at the speed of light.
“How come you can wear this and I can’t?” Jongin questions Yifan’s pants and the youngest tries to take a better look at it; Yifan backs away and hits the wall.
The older didn’t imagine this situation. Until one of the kids pass by and start singing.
“Teacher Yifan and teacher Jongin K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage-” Jongin smirks and Yifan avoids the youngster's eyes, also ignoring Jongdae making kissy faces at him.
“Sorry.” Jongin says and releases Yifan; his cheeks have a light crimson color.
“Hyung, you’re blushing.” Kyungsoo points out and ears a pinch from Jongin.
“Go play tag outside kids. Go go.” Jongin pushes Kyungsoo and Zitao out of the way and comes back to Yifan still glued to the wall.
“I’m sorry; I don’t know what I was doing.” Jongin takes the apron off and puts it on the hanger. “I’ll be right back; I need to do something in the bathroom.”
He runs out of the class, and Yifan senses that he should follow him. And he does.
“No no no, he’s that lame man,” Yifan hears coming from inside the room. “You can’t have a liking for him. His stupid attempts are not working on me”
The tall man peeks through the door and sees Jongin washing his face, gangly Yifan is gangly, and therefore he pushes the door by accident and surprises the youngest.
Yifan lets out a pathetic laugh and tries to close the door, but insistent hands pull him into the room and the door is shut behind him.
“What you’re doing?” Yifan asks in fright and Jongin glares at him.
“Do not act innocent.” Jongin starts. “I know what you want.”
“What do I want?” Yifan voices challenging and he regrets his choice when Jongin blocks his passage and his back hits the sink.
“The same as I do.”
“And what do you want?” Yifan finds utterly interesting the face Jongin makes.
“Aren’t you a good teacher? I thought you’d know by now. At the time I saw you being attacked by the kids, I thought you were pathetic.” Yifan’s shoulders fall and he uses the sink as support, his hand misses the bowl and he slips, being saved from the hard fall by Jongin who supports his body. Breathing tickling his neck as he tries to get up. “But at the time you kept indirectly trying to win me over, I realized you were even more pathetic than I expected. Maybe that’s what makes me think how intriguing you are. You look so tough on the outside but you’re such a softie.”
“What do you mean?” Jongin groans, because Yifan can’t be serious, he’s playing dumb or he’s just really dumb.
“I mean,’”
“This?” Yifan slowly grabs Jongin by the shoulders and presses his lips against his, in less than three seconds he releases the boy and hides his face with his hands.
“How long have I been here in this school?” Jongin tries to easy the awkward atmosphere and Yifan whispers ‘a month and two days’.
“So by now you must know Principal Joonmyeon is my uncle and Kyungsoo is my cousin.” Yifan hums in response. “And that I’m not here because he pities me or that I begged, I sent my curriculum and this is what I want to do.”
“Why are you telling me this?” Yifan is still avoiding eye contact and Jongin sighs, it’s too much for him.
“Because you looked uncomfortable after you kissed me?” Yifan feels something warm beside him and hand grabs him by the neck and pulls him down. “Stop staring, I know I’m hot.”
“I’m not staring you-” his words are left behind when Jongin closes the gap between their lips, it’s sweet and innocent and Yifan feels his legs turning into jelly.
“Hold on big boy, you don’t want to fall to the restroom floor.” Jongin helps him to get up and opens the door. “I think we shouldn’t let the kids alone.
Instead of having total chaos, they find the kids having fun with each other, and Kyungsoo playing with a truck along with Zitao.
“Hey teacher, how was the date?” Jongdae appears from behind the curtains and Baekhyun screams ‘I found you’ and runs around, but Jongdae just ignores his friend’s behavior.
“I’m going to tell auntie you’re dating the teacher.” Kyungsoo points at Jongin and his cousin shivers, like the picture of his mom hearing what the boy just said wasn’t something good.
“You can have my cookies.” Jongin offers and Kyungsoo smiles with an animated ‘deal’.
“Do you want to do something after duty?” Yifan asks and Jongin nods.
“The monster is asking teacher Jongin out!” Jongdae screams and Yifan turns at him and the kid yells.
“The monster is going to eat you.” Jongdae screams and Yifan plays along. Jongin watches with amusement taking place on his face. He smiles and a content sigh leaves his lips. Yifan is such a loser, hopefully his loser.

“Chanyeol left his resign letter at my desk last week.” Joonmyeon tells Yifan at the moment the man steps into the teacher’s lounge. The Principal has his tea in hands, hot steam coming from it as he sips carefully to not burn his tongue. “And it’s really amazing how I found a replacement so fast. He’ll come by today.”
“I can’t believe he left without telling me.” Yifan kicks the nearest trash bin and drinks some coffee, it’s so bitter he holds the urge to spit it on Joonmyeon’s face.
“He was in a rush, not sure why. And you, stop damaging school property, what kind of role model you want to be for the kids?” the Principal leaves the room, he probably has some papers to take care of.
With a loud deep sigh, Yifan finishes his horrible coffee and walks all the way to his class, today he’s alone, no Chanyeol to help him out with the brats.
The moment he enters the room something hits him square in the face and a shout of ‘THE MONSTER IS HERE’ follows behind and he bends down to get the object that was fired against him, it’s one pink hippo plushie. Yifan is lucky it wasn’t one of the plastic trucks.
He puts on his white stupid and ridiculously girly apron and he looks at the boys (yes, only boys, the girls have a separated class, since the boys started to scream ‘COOTIES’ on the first day while wildly running around, and Joonmyeon was nice enough to give the girls another classroom and female teachers, saving them from the crazy boys that now Yifan has to take care of) then crouches down to have a talk to the kid that hit him.
“Sehun, you can’t throw your toys at people.” he lectures the kid who’s glaring intently at him.
“But you’re teacher Yifan.” he cutely tilts his head to the side and receives a hard push on his back and falls, he saves his little face from hitting the ground by grabbing Yifan’s pants.
“Hands off my pants kid.” Yifan is also lucky that he’s wearing a belt. “Jongdae, I guess you find this utterly funny, don’t you? Come here, right now.”
“The monster will eat me, help. Baekhyun, HELP!” he yells and runs, trying to hide behind his friend, but the latter walks up to Yifan and asks the man to come down so he can tell him something.
“Teacher Fan, where’s teacher Yeol?” Baekhyun asks as he rubs his eyes, still sleepy, he’s one of the first kids to arrive, and sometimes Yifan feels sorry for him, having such busy parents mustn’t be easy.
He sees Jongdae screaming at Kyungsoo who’s silently playing with a puzzle, that kid is evil, Yifan remembers him silently looking at him while drawing. When he picked it up it was an illustration of him tied up to a chair with the kids running around him, the worst part was that he was on fire.
Getting his attention back to the pouting kid in front of him, Yifan sits and pats the free spot beside him. Baekhyun obeys and sits.
“Teacher Yeol had some matters to take care of. He won’t come back that early, so Principal Joonmyeon found another teacher to take his place.” Yifan sighs, that new teacher Joonmyeon mentioned should’ve arrived already, and the kid on the verge of crying in front of him is no help.
“Baekkie, do not cry.” Minseok comes up and hugs the shaking kid. “You can have my cookie.”
Baekhyun nods and holds the hand of his friend; Minseok pulls him so they can play with Luhan who’s pretending the dolls are having a fight.
“The monster is getting up!” Jongdae screams for afar and Yifan is taking the dust out of his clothes when hears that troublemaker smirking at him. “The monster is looking at me!”
“The monster is going to catch you!” Jongdae lets out a strangled shriek when Yifan shouts and all his 187cm glory hovers over him while he tries to run.
“You brat! I’m going to show you the monster!” Jongdae runs for his life and trips on Zitao, who was lying on the ground while giggling and talking to his baby panda plushie, and now is crying because Jongdae is a ‘monster’ and he’s going to have his kid ass wushu-ed.
“I’m sorry Tao Tao, don’t beat me please.” Jongdae begs and lets out a scream when his feet leave the ground and he sees Yifan’s face in front of him.
“The monster is going to eat me, the monster is going to eat me, when it’s my funeral please bury me with my toys.” he tries to get out of Yifan’s grip but fails. He giggles when Yifan starts to spin him around laughing. The kid is a troublemaker but is also one of Yifan’s favorites.
But Yifan is clumsy and his long limbs are no help when he accidentally stomps on a plastic duck and fall backwards, lucky for the third time today when his head hits a cushion instead of the ground or one of the kids, he’d have killed one.
“Teacher Monster Fan Fan is trying to kill me!” Jongdae tries to release Yifan’s hands off of him and the teacher is not moving because there is someone at the door looking at them.
“Get up kid.” he says as he lifts his body up and straightens his hair. The person at the door is still looking at him and Yifan nods, showing that the stranger can enter; maybe he’s the new teacher.
“Hello,”
“Jongin.” he offers Yifan a smile and motions to shake hands with him. “I’m the new teacher, sorry for being late at my first day. What is happening here? Do I need to wear this apron? “
“Yifan.” he says and takes Jongin’s hand for a shake, Yifan’s hand is giant, just like the rest of his anime like body. “Nothing is happening the kids are being themselves and I’m being myself and what’s wrong with the apron?”
“It’s ultra-gay.” he eyes Yifan up and down and then to the kids, they gave up on the puzzles and plushies and all the running and are just playing dolls with each other.
“The kids too.” Baekhyun walks up to them and pokes Yifan with a pencil he took out from god knows where.
“Who are you?” he asks whining. “Where’s teacher Yeol?”
“I’m teacher Jongin, and you?” he asks the little boy who looks like he wants to stab him.
“Where’s teacher Yeol?” he asks insistently and Jongin sighs.
“I don’t know about teacher Yeol, but we can play right now.” he ends the talk and grabs the other apron on the hanger, it’s as big as Yifan’s but he can manage to wear it without problems. “Go get your crayon and we can draw something.”
Baekhyun runs back at his friends and forces them to get up.
“But Baekhyun!” Jongdae whines. “Barbie was about to go on a date with Ken.”
“Are you guys following the theme of ‘what I want right now’ for the drawings?” Jongin asks the kids who are too busy doodling to look up.
“Yes, teacher Jongin!” they say in unison and Jongin hums, the kids are so obedient.
“How come they do what you say?” Yifan asks outraged, he have been here for the past three years and the kids still don’t respect him, aside from Yixing who’s always taking a nap.
“Because I’m good looking and hot.” Jongin shrugs and sits at the chair next to Yifan’s. Yes, yes you are, Yifan wants to yell, when he saw him at the door, he didn’t think ‘what the fuck is this guy doing here?’ but ‘what the fuck is this hot guy is doing here?
He rolls his eyes instead and stares at the kids; Jongdae looks up and makes a face at him. Oh that brat.
After a few minutes, Jongin declared that the kids would show the final results of their drawing and explain what it means.
“Baekhyun, you go first.” Yifan points at the kid sucking his thumb and waits.
“This is me.” he points at the brown haired boy on the paper and then at the orange haired man. “And this is teacher Yeol.”
“You were supposed to draw what you want right now, not people Baekkie.” Luhan points out from his spot and Baekhyun glares at him.
“I want teacher Yeol here and now.” Baekhyun stomps his foot and Minseok tries his best to persuade the boy to not cry. It works and Yifan is silently happy that Minseok is always the responsible one among them all.
“Jongdae you go next.” Jongin demands and the kid proudly stands up and shows off his drawing.
Just like Baekhyun there are two people on the paper.
"This is teacher Yifan and this is Me." he explains and Yifan raises his arm. "Yes?"
"Why are you taller than me on the drawing?" the man asks and Jongdae giggles.
"Right now, I want to be taller than monster teacher Fan Fan. And also manlier, but this I can do already." with nothing more to say he goes back to his sit while Yifan glares at him and whispers 'I'm watching you brat' and Jongin tells it's Sehun's turn now.
The boy didn't draw people, at least.
"I want milk. Teacher Yifan, can you get me some right now?" Sehun throws the drawing away and approaches the said man, trying to jump on his lap but he's too small to reach it, so he pouts, trying to convince Yifan to get him what he wants.
Yifan looks away; the kid knows already that he's a sucker for aegyo. And a 6 years older is taking advantage of a 24 years old grown man.
He groans, because yes, he's granting the kids' wish.
"Okay come with me." He takes Sehun's hand and pulls him to the kitchen.
While they're there, Jongin keeps the presentations going.
Yixing drew a bed, because he said "I want to sleep and I want a fluffy pillow and a warm blanket."
Minseok drew a book and he said that "I want a book because I read all of my books at home already." Clever kid, Jongin thinks, he'll probably be very successful in the future.
Zitao drew a beach, "I like the sand and the water and I once saw the sunset with my parents. I wanna see it again." Romantic at heart, is what Jongin assumes.
When Yifan comes back, Sehun is drinking his warm milk (8g of fat, just the way he likes) right beside him and it's Luhan's turn already.
"I draw a rainbow because I want to see one now." Luhan hugs his paper and smiles.
"That's lame." Jongdae shouts from where he is, Baekhyun being his cushion as he lazily looks at the ceiling.
"No, it's not. Yours is lame and I didn't say anything about it. How can you be taller than teacher Yifan? I bet you'll be even smaller than Principal Joonmyeon." Luhan dries the tears on his eyes and he runs to sit beside Zitao and his panda.
"Last but not least, Kyungsoo." Jongin says smiling at the boy frowning at his surroundings.
"This is me." he points at the black haired small boy on the paper. "And this is teacher Yifan eating what I cooked him."
"You want me to eat something?" Yifan looks at the boy, maybe he'll poison the food, who knows.
"Yes, and then you'll like it so sooo much that you'll eat more and more and then explode." Jongin laughs at the boy's crazy (scary, on Yifan's opinion) idea.
"Okay boys, what do you want to do now?" Jongin asks while Yifan tries to convince Sehun that only one glass of milk is enough.
"I'm hungry." someone says.
"Can Barbie go on her date with Ken now?" Jongdae asks, both arms raised and the other boys jump around him.
"That's a great idea." The boys, except Kyungsoo, run back to all the dolls they left an hour ago and Jongin sighs, he was thinking about playing tag outside.
"Let them be. It's always like this. I swear, the girls on the other class are probably playing board games or hide and seek and we're stuck here with boys playing Barbie." Kyungsoo gets up and walks up to the talking teachers.
"Teacher Yifan, teacher Yifan." he jumps up and down and he's never like this, something must be wrong.
"Yes kid?" Kyungsoo's face twists and Yifan is worried and he gets up.
"Can you go with me to the restroom? I need to pee." Yifan was worried by nothing but the boy is jumping in front of him and he doesn't want to clean the floor if Kyungsoo pisses on his pants. "The boys are playing with those stupid dolls and I don't like to go alone."
And Yifan thought Kyungsoo was the manlier one.
He takes the boy by the arm and runs to the restroom.
After a few minutes they come back. Kyungsoo smiling like there is no tomorrow as he thanks Yifan and sits at his usual place to finish his puzzle.
"What a hardworking teacher you are." Jongin praises Yifan and sits closer.
"I know. You should get your ass to do something." Yifan hits Jongin's shoulders lightly and bursts out laughing. "I can teach you how to take proper care of the kids."
"I do know how to take care of the kids. That's why they love me already and mock you all the time." Jongin sounds confident, too confident and Yifan wants to get rid of that expression, with his lips maybe.
Because since the first time he saw him at the door, he had the sudden urge to touch Jongin. He's too lame to make a move but he needs to give it a shot.
"So," he starts and wiggles his eyebrows. "Do you want your senior to teach you his ways with the kids?"
"Aren't kids like puppies?" he asks, brows hitched as he thinks. "I mean, give them food, toys and some care and that's all."
"I don't think so." Yifan shakes his head and points at the kids. "Some of them are really different, especially Jongdae."
"I think you'll have to teach me through the days then." Jongin gets up and nears Kyungsoo to help him with the puzzle but he comes back to stand near Yifan in less than a minute. "The kid said he doesn't want my help."
Yifan laughs and with an 'I told you so' he deviates his head from the plushie Sehun threw at him. It hits Jongin though.
Yifan meets Jongin at the next day, he’s having some coffee at the teacher’s lounge, wearing just jeans and a plain shirt, Yifan holds the urge to not turn away and slam his head on the wall, because the youngest knows how to rock this outfit.
Instead, he straightens up and pulls out his cool act. “Ready for today? I can teach you properly about how the kids behave.”
Jongin bits his lower lip slightly and Yifan looks away. He can’t grow a boner just by this, and also the kids can see it and he can’t let it happen. He bids goodbye to Jongin with a ‘see you in class’ and runs away.
He enters the room and closes the door, leaning against it as he sighs in relief.
“The giant monster is here, let’s take him down.” as usual, this is the first thing he hears, from obviously Jongdae. Little brat convinced the other kids to try to climb him up.
“Kids no!” Yifan remains calm but when Baekhyun bites his index finger, he lets out a desperate shout and he tumbles forward, the kids are soon surrounding him and running.
His face hurts from the impact and Jongin opens the door at the exact moment to witness the whole scene. Leaning against the frame of the door, he snickers at Yifan’s misery.
“Teacher Yifan.” Minseok crouches down next to his lying figure. “You know we love you, right?”
“How could I not know?” Yifan replies and laughs along.
“Good. Now get up, or teacher Jongin won’t like you back if you keep embarrassing yourself like this.” Minseok whispers to a surprised Yifan. Little devil is pretty clever.
With the help of Minseok he gets up, the kid pushes him up to his feet and Yifan pats his head, the kid is also really strong.
“Teacher Jongin!” Baekhyun’s high pitched voice echoes and he runs to the door to pull the teacher inside the room. “Can we play something new today?”
“What do you want to play?” Jongin asks Baekhyun and the rest of the kids who are just staring at Yifan still lying on the ground.
“Can we play pretend?” Jongdae asks with his arm raised. “Then you, teacher Jongin, and teacher Fan Fan here can be the mom and dad and we’ll be the children.”
‘What did I do wrong?’ crosses Yifan’s thoughts because Jongin agreed and just slapped his butt while saying Yifan will be the mom and he’ll be the dad.
“Dinner is ready.” Yifan says rolling his eyes, those kids are the end of his image, and carries an imaginary tray of food.
“Kids, thank your mom for taking care of us.” Jongin says mocking Yifan, the latter totally but not totally ignoring his words, because seriously, why would he even agree to this?
“Mom Fan, this tastes weird.” Kyungsoo takes the imaginary food and pretends to eat. “I think you should try out these cookies I made yesterday.”
Surprisingly, Kyungsoo takes a pack of cookies from the pocket of his jacket and Yifan’s eyes go wide.
“Kyungsoo, I told you to not bring those cookies.” Jongin hisses and Yifan stares at them, his gaze judging the interaction of the two.
“But hyung, mom said I could.” the boy hides the cookies and runs to hide behind Yifan’s long legs. “I wanted to give them to teacher Fan.”
“But they’re mine. Oh God, why would auntie say this?” Yifan watches silently while Jongin and Kyungsoo fight over a pack of cookies and processes the fact that Jongin is Kyungsoo’s cousin, maybe that’s how Joonmyeon hired him.
“Are you kids done? Minseok, I appoint you to be the dad, teacher Jongin can be the older child.” Yifan laughs at Jongin’s pouty face and Kyungsoo gives him the cookies as he wanted.
“Did you see today’s schedule?” Yifan asks after they finished playing pretend. Tuesday’s are the only days of the week in which they go to the kitchen to make something, usually a cake or a pie and maybe it’ll be of some help for him to start his wooing plans.
If the kids don’t decide to ruin his life.
“Jongdae, I’m warning you. If you and Baekhyun decide to have another flour fight, I’m calling your parents.” appointing an accusing finger to the boys, he takes Luhan and Zitao by their hands and walks to the kitchen. He passes the girls class and sighs, he sees the teachers and he swears he doesn’t want to have nothing to do with Jessica Jung ever again. Last time, she blamed him for the disappearance of her cupcake when it was clearly Chanyeol and kept on bugging him about it for the rest of the year.
Jongin curiously follows them, he forgot to take a look at the schedule and he has no idea about what they’ll be doing now.
“Okay, today it’ll be a cake kids.” Yifan says and Jongin sits somewhere because he’s not doing anything in a kitchen, unless Yifan wants to burn the school down.
“You get up and come help me.” Jongin feels himself being yanked out of his place and he stands up with another apron in hands. “Take the flour, the milk and no Sehun; you can’t have your milk, not now.”
“Teacher Yifan?” Yixing asks from the door and the man looks up searching for the owner of the voice. “Can we just watch you bake today? So you can show teacher Jongin how to do a cake. I think he doesn’t know how.”
“You just want to sleep.” Jongdae accuses but doesn’t object at the idea, neither does Yixing, who nods and sits down leaning against the wall.
“You guys are free to play then; we’ll make something for you to eat.” Yifan shoos the boys out of the place and turns to Jongin watching as the youngest is doing what he asked him to and also gathering the utensils.
“Are you sure you want my help?” unsure, Jongin plays with the beater and Yifan doesn’t really need his help but he wants him here so he can talk to someone.
“Yes. All the help available is needed.” he lies. “Between, I never go to ask, how old are you?”
“I’m 21, why you ask?” Jongin found the chocolate powder and is now shoving his finger inside it to get a taste and Yifan is not amused.
“Nothing, I just thought you looked like 18.” I just didn’t want to be a pedophile, he thinks. “Stop getting the powder dirty with your finger, only god knows where your hands have been.”
“Teacher Yifan?” someone asks from behind and the said man looks down to see Sehun.
“What?” he crouches down and waits for the kid to say whatever he wants, so he can go back to do his business.
“Can I have my milk now?” Yifan gives up; he’ll make the kid the goddamn milk.
In five minutes, he finishes Sehun’s drink and urges the kid to leave as he searches for Jongin and the latter is asleep on the counter, head supported by his arms.
He looks angelic even, and Yifan pokes him awake not bothering if he was having a nice sleep or not. Jongin jolts and looks around, eyes clouded and he groans, he can’t stay awake until late at night playing something on his computer anymore.
“Here use the beater and mix that stuff.” Yifan points at the milk, chocolate powder, eggs, flour and sugar. “I’ll teach you.”
Jongin does as ordered, he puts everything on the same bowl and start mixing, but he’s not used to it, Yifan sighs but smiles.
“Here.” he approaches Jongin and holds the beater along with the youngest hand and restarts moving the mixture, Jongin’s cologne enters his nostrils and he tries to not sniff into his hair. “Don’t make a mess; we don’t want to waste any ingredient, do we?”
Something tickles Yifan’s leg and he backs away from Jongin, letting out a shriek and just after it, he hears a laugh.
“Wow, I didn’t know your voice could go this high.” Jongin bursts out laughing and Yifan starts running after Jongdae and Baekhyun who have a twig in hands.
“Let me show you which book you should read for the kids.” Yifan tells Jongin the other day. After the second hand embarrassment Jongdae and Baekhyun caused him last week, he decided that it’d be safer to not near that kitchen again. Screw Tuesdays.
“Come here, I don’t bite.” Jongin gives him a look that screams ‘prove me’ but he does indeed come closer, and Yifan is more than pleased to be able to smell the same cologne again.
“Aren’t all the books here for kids? Like Le Petit Prince.”
“Yes, so just choose whatever you like.” Yifan is invading Jongin’s personal space, but Jongin is not complaining, or he just didn’t notice.
“Look, teacher Yifan is almost hugging teacher Jongin.” Sehun screams and Jongin looks back to meet Yifan’s chest in front of him, maybe Yifan was too close.
“I’m-.” the little scared yet cocky look Jongin is giving him is not innocent, and the kid laughing at him is not amusing. “No milk for you Oh Sehun!”
Today Yifan took out from his closet one of his old leather pants, and he doesn’t know why the hell he’s wearing that right now, it’s not tight but it’s not comfortable either.
The face Principal Joonmyeon makes when he sees him is somehow disapproving but he doesn’t voice it. Or that was hat Yifan thought.
“Look Yifan, don’t start doing the same thing my nephew was trying to do before entering the school. Jongin, that brat wanted to use those horrendous tight jeans and if he can’t you can’t too.” so that’s why Principal Joonmyeon found a replacement so fast.
A little stunned he enters his class to see Jongin already there.
Jongin stares him up and down and Yifan puts on his apron at the speed of light.
“How come you can wear this and I can’t?” Jongin questions Yifan’s pants and the youngest tries to take a better look at it; Yifan backs away and hits the wall.
The older didn’t imagine this situation. Until one of the kids pass by and start singing.
“Teacher Yifan and teacher Jongin K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage-” Jongin smirks and Yifan avoids the youngster's eyes, also ignoring Jongdae making kissy faces at him.
“Sorry.” Jongin says and releases Yifan; his cheeks have a light crimson color.
“Hyung, you’re blushing.” Kyungsoo points out and ears a pinch from Jongin.
“Go play tag outside kids. Go go.” Jongin pushes Kyungsoo and Zitao out of the way and comes back to Yifan still glued to the wall.
“I’m sorry; I don’t know what I was doing.” Jongin takes the apron off and puts it on the hanger. “I’ll be right back; I need to do something in the bathroom.”
He runs out of the class, and Yifan senses that he should follow him. And he does.
“No no no, he’s that lame man,” Yifan hears coming from inside the room. “You can’t have a liking for him. His stupid attempts are not working on me”
The tall man peeks through the door and sees Jongin washing his face, gangly Yifan is gangly, and therefore he pushes the door by accident and surprises the youngest.
Yifan lets out a pathetic laugh and tries to close the door, but insistent hands pull him into the room and the door is shut behind him.
“What you’re doing?” Yifan asks in fright and Jongin glares at him.
“Do not act innocent.” Jongin starts. “I know what you want.”
“What do I want?” Yifan voices challenging and he regrets his choice when Jongin blocks his passage and his back hits the sink.
“The same as I do.”
“And what do you want?” Yifan finds utterly interesting the face Jongin makes.
“Aren’t you a good teacher? I thought you’d know by now. At the time I saw you being attacked by the kids, I thought you were pathetic.” Yifan’s shoulders fall and he uses the sink as support, his hand misses the bowl and he slips, being saved from the hard fall by Jongin who supports his body. Breathing tickling his neck as he tries to get up. “But at the time you kept indirectly trying to win me over, I realized you were even more pathetic than I expected. Maybe that’s what makes me think how intriguing you are. You look so tough on the outside but you’re such a softie.”
“What do you mean?” Jongin groans, because Yifan can’t be serious, he’s playing dumb or he’s just really dumb.
“I mean,’”
“This?” Yifan slowly grabs Jongin by the shoulders and presses his lips against his, in less than three seconds he releases the boy and hides his face with his hands.
“How long have I been here in this school?” Jongin tries to easy the awkward atmosphere and Yifan whispers ‘a month and two days’.
“So by now you must know Principal Joonmyeon is my uncle and Kyungsoo is my cousin.” Yifan hums in response. “And that I’m not here because he pities me or that I begged, I sent my curriculum and this is what I want to do.”
“Why are you telling me this?” Yifan is still avoiding eye contact and Jongin sighs, it’s too much for him.
“Because you looked uncomfortable after you kissed me?” Yifan feels something warm beside him and hand grabs him by the neck and pulls him down. “Stop staring, I know I’m hot.”
“I’m not staring you-” his words are left behind when Jongin closes the gap between their lips, it’s sweet and innocent and Yifan feels his legs turning into jelly.
“Hold on big boy, you don’t want to fall to the restroom floor.” Jongin helps him to get up and opens the door. “I think we shouldn’t let the kids alone.
Instead of having total chaos, they find the kids having fun with each other, and Kyungsoo playing with a truck along with Zitao.
“Hey teacher, how was the date?” Jongdae appears from behind the curtains and Baekhyun screams ‘I found you’ and runs around, but Jongdae just ignores his friend’s behavior.
“I’m going to tell auntie you’re dating the teacher.” Kyungsoo points at Jongin and his cousin shivers, like the picture of his mom hearing what the boy just said wasn’t something good.
“You can have my cookies.” Jongin offers and Kyungsoo smiles with an animated ‘deal’.
“Do you want to do something after duty?” Yifan asks and Jongin nods.
“The monster is asking teacher Jongin out!” Jongdae screams and Yifan turns at him and the kid yells.
“The monster is going to eat you.” Jongdae screams and Yifan plays along. Jongin watches with amusement taking place on his face. He smiles and a content sigh leaves his lips. Yifan is such a loser, hopefully his loser.
