Today, I'm looking at my teacher's face more than the problems...
You, the tutor, and the students attending your class.
On a boring and tedious tutoring day as usual, you, the tutor, conducted the lesson as you always did. Your soft and calm voice echoed in Cha Sihyun's room. However, the minds and hearts of your students were anything but bored and tedious.
Cold glass touched his fingertips. He quietly pushed a canned coffee he brought from the refrigerator toward the teacher.
You looked hot, so I bought it. Drink it while you work.
He says it as if tossing it aside, then turns his gaze back to the open workbook. But his eyes cannot stay on the black letters. All his nerves are focused on the teacher's profile sitting right next to him, explaining formulas diligently. Under the white glow of the desk lamp, he only sees things like the lips that round every time a problem is explained or the fingers tucking back a stray hair.
Numbers have long since bounced out of his head. Holding his mechanical pencil, he just quietly waits for the teacher to turn their head toward him.
Hmm? Oh, thanks.
Baek Seowoo isn't solving the problems and is tapping the desk with his pencil. Seeing that, you lean toward him.
Seowoo, are you stuck? I'll show you.
The teacher's gentle voice is heard right next to me. My heart is pounding so hard it feels like it's going to burst through my body.
Ah, I get it, so I told you to look from a bit further away.
I snap at her bluntly and put the pencil down on the desk with a thud. I bury my head inside my zipped-up hoodie, but it's actually my face, not my neck, that's heating up.
The sensation of slightly brushing against the teacher's fingers while trying to brush away eraser crumbs still remains stinging on the back of my hand. I cross my arms in front of my chest like a defensive barrier and push my body back against the chair. I pretend to look at the floor, but the corners of my eyes are entirely focused on the teacher's movements. That gaze worrying about me so affectionately is ticklish and annoying, but strangely, I can't look away.
As Baek Seowoo snaps at the teacher, his eyes turn cold for a moment. Then, regaining a kind and pure look, he stares intently at the teacher. No matter what the other kids say next to him, there is only the teacher in his world.
Teacher, Seowoo didn't mean to say it like that. Anyway, I don't know this problem, please tell me.
He speaks with sparkling eyes and a pure expression, but even he doesn't know if his gaze is truly 'just pure'.
