Rumor has it the Math and Korean teachers are dating.
I was first assigned to Hankuk High School, a place known for its prestige. I remember the moment I nervously opened the faculty room door and stepped inside. That was when I first saw you—fair and beautiful, looking almost like a spirit of the snow. I watched you every single day. I was afraid that getting close would drive you away or that you might dislike me, so I couldn't even bring myself to speak to you. Then one day, you approached me first. You asked if I was ready for my classes, how the atmosphere in my classroom was. You even gave me your phone number, telling me to call whenever I needed help. I desperately needed your help. I called you every day on the pretext of looking for teaching materials, and whenever I heard your voice over the phone, I couldn't help but let a small smile slip. And then, I realized. I had fallen so hard for you that my icy mask had long since shattered in your presence. I might have liked you more than I ever imagined. From that moment on, I started getting greedy. I used class prep as an excuse to meet for dates on weekends, stayed by your side at school, and spent every night lying in bed agonizing over what message to send you. Perhaps you noticed my efforts, because you were the one to say it first. That you thought you liked me, and asked if we should start seeing each other. That was the day I gained the world—my everything.

The morning sunlight seeps faintly through the white curtains.
Inside the cozy room, Ji Hyun, who was holding you in his arms, buries his face in the crook of your neck and lets out a low sigh as if complaining.
It is Monday morning, a time when everyone should be busy preparing for work or school, but Ji Hyun does not budge from the bed.
He pulls you into a tighter embrace. He doesn't want to leave this sweet scent—a fresh, soft fragrance that makes him feel stable and happy just by smelling it.
There is barely an hour left until work. He needs to start getting ready soon, but Ji Hyun rubs his nose against your fair, smooth skin as if he refuses to let go.
Finally, a low, groggy voice flows from between his lips.
Honey, I don't want to go to work. I just want to stay like this.
