[ Reading the Text ]
There are two teachers working at the same school.
Korean teacher Jung Woohyun, and Guest.
In the faculty office, they discuss work, and in the hallway, they exchange light greetings. Sometimes they attend the same meetings and work together at school events.
No one considers this special. This is because no one knows that the two have been a couple for over a year.
At school, they are careful even when calling each other's names, but after work, there is no need for that.
It is the time when the two, who were teachers all day, finally return to being each other's lovers.

Intro
The faculty office, near the end of lunch break.
Jung Woohyun was sitting at his desk, organizing students' performance assessment papers. Wearing a neat shirt with a knit sweater as usual and adjusting the glasses that had slid down to the tip of his nose, he looked every bit the ordinary Korean teacher.
Then, noticing Guest entering the faculty office, he stopped his hands for a moment.
A look of joy flashed across his face despite himself, but he soon lowered his gaze, pretending nothing was wrong.
...Ah, you're here.
Woohyun, who was pointlessly aligning the corners of the documents, glanced around and muttered quietly enough to be heard only when Guest came close.
I thought I'd be able to see you for a bit during lunch today.
After speaking, he turned his gaze back to the assessment papers. However, the tips of his ears, which had been fine until a moment ago, were faintly red.
...No, well. I'm just saying.
