The Answer 1.2

[SONE Times, Building]

"We have a new story!"

Jinwoon and Hyo's head instantly turned to the source of the voice. Specifically to the entrance door of the Show room, where they're currently watching Seohyun's undercover mission.

"P-president Kwon!" Simultaneously, they both raise from their seats as they welcomed the current CEO and President of the company. Both are surprise to the latter's sudden appearance. It's not normal if she's around them. 

"Um, what can we do for you?" Jinwoon nervously asked, taking a note that the stare of their boss is absolutely not the usual. 

"Y-Yeah... We are monitoring Seohyun's work, as you can see." Hyoyeon added, as she emphasize the large screen behind them. She put her best smile, towards their boss.

Instead of an answer, President Kwon walked closer to the screen and there, she stood in front, smirking towards the current view of the screen - a doe-eyed girl, smiling like a lost deer. 

"Um, that's Teacher Im. Currently the English Teacher Seohyun is.... with right now." Jinwoon hesitated to say, sensing that the President has something in mind. 

"President Kwon, tell us... what do you want?" Hyoyeon has sense a bad aura about it as well..

Turning back to face her writers, President Kwon finally spoke up. "This. Her. She's going to be our next story. She's going to be our next star!" her eyes are sparkling in interest.

There was a moment of silence between Hyo and Jinwoon before,

"What?!" They exclaim in chorus.

"Are you-That teacher?"

"Yes. I can see how much she's into Seohyun."

"You've been watching it?"

President Kwon chuckled at their surprise reaction. "What's up? You guys sounded like complaining?"

Jinwoon and Hyo exchange gazes, and sighed almost at the same time, as they turned to the president again.

"We are just... I mean, we didn't expect this. How could you decide like this? Teacher Im is out of this mission!" Jinwoon said, completely doubting with the idea.

"Well, It's just a fresh story. And, I think... will get the people's interest."

"I-I... thought this undercover is about the students' behavior. Why-"

"Jinwoon! Listen!" President Kwon interrupted. "...Seohyun is a student in this undercover... see, it's still about it. Furthermore, it's about love... first love... a student's first love... which I knew, a very interesting topic that could catch the attention of the public. Is it?"

Jinwoon can't deny the fact and nodded in response. Hyoyeon, she slowly put a wide grin in her face.

"Will this be a perfect opportunity to ask for a favor?"

President Kwon and Jinwoon turned to the blonde girl.

"What do you mean?" Jinwoon furrows her eyebrows.

Hyoyeon's grin turned into a meaningful smirk towards President Kwon and Jinwoon. Then, eyes slowly averted to Yoona, on the screen.

"No way, Hyo. Are you thinking of setting up these two?"

"We can't just tell her that Yoona kissed her, and she should just ask her to be her girlfriend, right? Why don't we set them up with circumstances until both will confess? In that instance, the love story will begin. We will have our story at the same time. How was that, President Kwon?." Hyoyeon is wiggling her eyebrows, loving her idea.

President Kwon had another smirk in her face. "That's a great idea, Miss Kim."

Jinwoon mentally face palmed, as he sighed in the process.

-------------------------

A few more blinks, Yoona let out a soft sigh, as she slowly pulled back. But didn't she missed to kiss Seohyun's cheeks before she stayed outside, and looked up into the sky, wondering why she's feeling such thing. She couldn't deny it, she's forgetting her girlfriend and she's been so happy around her new student.

"Why am I feeling this way? I-I... don't understand this... " she whispered to herself. It was so clear to her now, she has something for the younger girl, she definitely know is ridiculous. Like she had fallen for her student? No way! But the more she think about it, the more it got her more feeling that she had fallen for the girl she never thought she could. Glancing back to the younger girl, still sleeping, she smiled, couldn't believe that she didn't even wake her up. Cheeks are flushing, recalling what she just did.

"Tch, It's getting late... mind it tomorrow Yoona." muttered her, as she decided to go back and wake her up again. This time, she made she would open her eyes, through patting her cheeks, and shaking her arms. She did it so many times, until the latter did open her eyes and grinned again towards her.

"Why do I always see you when I wake up?" At the same time, Seohyun giggled. Consequently, composing herself.... but can't help and let out a big yawn. 

"Do you know how much do I need to shake you so you will wake up?" Yoona mock, as she send a playful glare to the other girl. "Thousands of times! I almost want to splash water to your face!" she added, but only to earn a pinch on her cheeks.

"I'm really a heavy sleeper, sorry Teacher Im." Seohyun giggled.

Yoona hissed, and quickly held her hand out. 

"My crutches, first." Seohyun commanded, not taking the doe-eyed girl's hand.

"No. I'm going to carry you." Yoona said, as she decided to brush the thought of what happened earlier.

"What? No way!"

Yoona then turned and lowered her body. "It's late, Seo Joohyun. I need to go home after this... so climb now." 

"No please... teacher Im. I've been a burden to you. I can handle this. Don't do this please... " Seohyun still insist, hoping the young teacher will give in.

Yoona sighed and straighten herself, before turning to the younger girl, apparently sitting on the passenger seat. "You really want to use your crutches now?"

Seohyun determinedly nodded.

"Okay." Yoona sighed, as she went to the backseat and grabbed the request from the latter. Handing it to her, Seohyun accepted it casually, and tried to use such thing. But to her dismay, she lost her balance and Yoona was there to catch her right away.

"See. You don't know how to use it first. Just use that at home, then I'll carry you now on the way to your apartment." said Yoona, as the latter is holding onto her shoulders, while she's supporting her on her waist. Their faces are dangerously inches apart again, but she hold herself and pretend she had nothing but to care for her.

Little did she know, Seohyun is almost the same. Yet, she immediately looked down and hump back to the passenger seat. 

"Now climb." said Yoona, as she turned again, while she's carrying the crutches on both hands.

"I'll carry the crutches for you."

"I'll give it once you are on my back." Yoona talk back.

"Alright." Seohyun can no longer protest and carefully complied. Yoona sensed and move backward, waiting for any moment. When Seohyun finally held on her shoulders, she handed the crutches and took this chance and hold the latter on her legs, carefully lifted her up. 

"It's on 5th floor." said Seohyun, while she's carring the crutches on the free hand, and the other is holding onto Yoona's shoulders.

"I know."

Seohyun frowned to know it. "How did you know?"

"What's the use of front desk? Babo." Muttered Yoona. "Hold on." then started to walk inside the building. Seohyun can't help and smile silently to her own, as she hold Yoona tightly. But sooner or later, she leaned forward, and put her chin on top of the latter's shoulders.

"Am I heavy?"

"Not really. I think you only eat vegies."

"Yeah~ I love eating carrots. How 'bout you?" ask Seohyun curiously - taking the chance to know the doe-eyed.

Yoona snickered of the question. "I was just guessing you like vegies, why do you want to know mine?"

"Is it bad? I just want to know. Who knows, we have the same favorite~" Seohyun can't help and giggle, as if she's like interviewing her at the same time. Getting to know each other? So be it~

"Aigoo... I love eating cabbage with a meat on it. That's only the part I love veggie." Yoona admitted, slightly shy that she has no more vegetable she love to eat.

"Oh, No wonder you are skinny."

"I'm always skinny ever since."

"So you like meat?"

"A lot." 

"Oh, I like it too." Seohyun happily exclaim. "How about drinks? What do you like to drink except for water that you keep in drinking the last time we had lunch together."

"Coffee. I drink that if I am staying up late. And they said, we should drink that before sleep so the next day, you won't be exhausted." Yoona just casually answered, as she finally stop in front of an elevator. She took a deep breath as she keep her strength on her arms, in order to keep her carrying the girl.

"Hmm, I see. I love to drink milk." Seohyun lied. Of course, she wouldn't say the same thing as well. "Oh, put me down once we are on the elevator, so you could rest, Teacher Im."

"Yeah, I was thinking the same."

The elevator door opens, revealing it empty. Entering, Yoona press the number 5 button, before she cautiously put the other girl down. 

"Hold on my shoulders to keep your balance." said Yoona, instantly. And the latter willingly hold to her shoulder, while she's standing with her left feet only and the right one is rising slightly.

"Still aching?" Yoona asked, as she glance to the latter's foot.

"Nothing anymore. But I think it's because of the pill I've taken earlier." sighed Seohyun.

"Wae? What's wrong?" Yoona noticed the weary eyes from the younger girl. She looked at her, straight in the eyes.

"I'm sleepy again." with that said, Seohyun let out such a huge yawn, earning a smile from Yoona. "You wake me up... and I kind of not like it when someone wake me up in the middle of my dream."

"Oh, so you are saying, I intentionally interrupted your dream? Ya! It's already late I could-"

Seohyun didn't let her teacher to say something as she covered using her free hand - since she's carrying the crutches on the other. "I'm tired teacher Im. Please... at least at this moment, don't scold me." and pouted cutely.

"Aigoo, so evil~" Yoona turned away, facing the metal door once again.

Seohyun just shut , which seems a cue as the door opens. Yoona instantly lowered herself again, and she climb on the back. In no time, the doe-eyed girl is giving her student a piggy back again.

In a short while, they arrived in front of the apartment door. Yoona press the pass code of the door, which was being shared by the latter, before they entered and finally, placing her student down, comfortably to her couch. Yoona can't help and wipe the sweats that has been running through her head.

"Do you want some water?"

"No. I-I mean... I'll take it on my own If you would allow me?" Yoona ask, giving a respect to the owner of the apartment.

Seohyun nodded. "Yeah sure. Go ahead, Teacher Im."

"Thank You." Yoona flash a simple smile before she went to the kitchen and grab some bottle of water. But she never missed to realized, the refrigerator is pack with different kinds of vegetables, and some nachos inside, before she went back to the living room.

Seohyun is massaging her legs when Yoona returned, she quickly brought her skirt down and greeted the doe-eyed girl again. 

"I didn't mean to notice but... can you eat all the food inside the refrigerator?" Yoona ask with an amuse smile.

"Oh, I... " Seohyun pause as she thought of her housemate, if it's going to be Okay if she'll share about Luna. But somehow, she doesn't want to reveal she is living with someone else. "... and my friends hang out often times in my apartment, so yeah... I cook for them." and so she lied.

"Hmm, Okay." Yoona nodded, convinced. She drank her water first before turning to her student again. "So you... do actually live alone?" and for an unknown reason, i disappoints her that for such a young age, someone like her is living alone.

"Yeah, kind of." Seohyun muttered as a reply. 

"And it's Okay for you?"

"I... I am used to this. I can even live outside, alone." Seohyun assuredly smile, thinking that her teacher is worried over her. She's a freaking seventeen year old in disguise, which seems not good to know from a teacher like her.

"Not funny at all." Yoona seriously uttered. "But... if you are indeed independent now... I have no doubts."

Seohyun sighed, as she can see the doe-eyed girl turned serious out of a sudden. And the way she's treating her again is like, she's indeed her student. So unlike earlier, when she can only feel they're at the same age. She shouldn't have let her in. Heck, she can't protest if she wants to. 

She fell into a silence, which made Yoona smile, ironically.

"What if I'll stay? Just for tonight?" 

Seohyun's head immediately turned to Yoona, as she frowned in the process. "What?!" That wasn't she had imagine.

"Haha! I was just joking. Of course, I know I couldn't. Just some random thought." Yoona chuckled softly, as she decided to finally leave. She got up, was about to say her plan, yet Seohyun said something she didn't expect.

"I wouldn't mind, honestly." Cheeks absolutely flush, after Seohyun let out the words. She turned away, yet, she turned back again, as Yoona answered on an instant.

"I wouldn't mind also but... " Yoona paused, contemplating to continue, but she did nonetheless. "... It's getting late and I have to leave right away." it was reluctant, heck, she accepted her decision.

Seohyun flash an assuring smile. "It's a good night, then."

"You too."

With that, Yoona smiled back also, and once again wasn't sure to turn. Thus, she did so and move her heavy feet towards the door. Turning back again, "I'll go ahead." she said for the last time and suddenly rushes back to the girl on the couch and bend down so she could kiss her head. "Good night." and whispered to her. Hurriedly, she left the apartment, leaving Seohyun agape.

"Aigoo, what was that?" Seohyun sighed, placing her palms on top of her chest - feeling that familiar beat of her hearts, every time she's with her. But this time, it seemed to get deeper and deeper. Especially how does Yoona care for her - which hasn't came to her mind. 

At the midst of her running thoughts about her teacher, weird noises can be heard on her earpiece. She couldn't really understand it well, until,

Seohyun-

Turning off your earpiece Hyun. Time to rest. Good night~

Beep.

Seohyun blink for a couple of times after she heard Jinwoon, and she's sure Hyoyeon's voice was the first one, but got cut by Jinwoon's voice. It made her wonder what happened to them, since the earpiece was now so quiet after the beep. She took the wireless earpiece off of her right ear and it was automatically turned off. Checking on the pin on the collar of her Uniform, it was also turned off.

"Jinwoon doesn't do this, normally... I wonder what happened?" There's a big question mark painted across Seohyun's beautiful face, as she couldn't figure with the sudden turning off of the device.

Meanwhile,

Yoona hasn't left yet, she's standing still by the door, back is against it, while she's holding her chest.

"Yoona, she's your student... younger than you... why... why... " she muttered, trying to convince herself that she's not feeling that 'thing' for the latter. "Damn it." however, the more she wanted to deny it, she find herself accepting her defeat. She IS falling for her student. 

---------------

[2 days later]

Seohyun wake up on an early morning, immediately putting her gazes to her digital alarm clock. She reach for it and casually turned it off, before she slowly sat up, spreading her arms widely as she could.

"Good Morning~! Yoongie!!!" she exclaims, wearing a bright and gorgeous smile she ever could have. Yes, it's definitely going to be a bright day. It wasn't because she can walk properly now, nor it's not because she's going to see Yoona again. 

It is more than because, "Yes!!! I wake up early!!!" 

She wake up at 5:30AM, which means... "I'm not a heavy sleeper anymore!!!"

And with that very thought, she flopped back on her mattress and turned to her right this time. Reaching for her phone on the other night stand, she opened one conversation and excitedly sent the message to that person. A few seconds later, she received a response from that someone, and she can't help but giggle cutely to her own, as she replied. 

Satisfied, she put her phone on top of her chest and sighed in delight. 

"2 days... 2 days now and I'm still like this... can't walk freely. Oh Gosh... how fast are the days. And it has been almost 3 weeks since this started." mumbles her, closing her eyes afterwards. "If I only knew this will happen to me, I would have said the truth already. But like Hyo Unnie said, after the mission... I'll tell her everything. I hope... I hope she would forgive me once she know everything. But I hope... she would never judge me...." on the other side of her, she knew her undercover should end soon. And by that thought, she can't help but feel a little tug on her heart. She hasn't confess but it feel a little heavy inside, thinking about what could happen in the future. 

Opening her eyes, Seohyun's lips pulled into a happy smile, again. "For the meantime... let's enjoy this Joohyun... let's enjoy the undercover... A real undercover. " she sat up once again and was about to set her feet on the floor when she heard her phone beeps. 

Knowing who could it be, she didn't think twice and check on it. Another sweet yet genuine smile spread across her features after reading the message. In a fast mode, she typed her response and sent it right away. 

Tossing back her phone on the side, she finally put her feet on the floor, in a careful way, before she hastily reach for her crutches and use it as a way for her to stand. Just like the last time, she's only using her left as she let her right to hang in the air, while supporting herself through the crutches - as she began to move forward, heading to the bathroom.

Still, it's difficult to use it, yet, she's getting use to it. At least for 3 days, she could move freely without the help of others. Especially to a certain teacher, who has been communicating with her through messages.

Arriving in her bathroom, Seohyun smiled in glee towards her reflection. "Only one day left, you'll be able to run again." while she cheer herself up for the nth time. "Fighting! Joohyun!"

-------------------------

It's Friday, and usually, Yoona would wake up in the morning, checking for her girlfriend's messages, but ever since she had come to realize her growing and undeniable feelings for her student, she has been anticipating to see just one message from her... yes, that trouble maker student of her - Seo Joohyun. 

Especially that the latter is currently resting, couldn't able to go to school. 

As if it's her energy pill to start her day, she would check her phone and there goes her gorgeous smile she ever could have,  while reading her message.

from Seo Joohyun:

I'm not a heavy sleeper anymore ;p 

I woke up so early in the morning, 5:30am.

Beat that teacher Im ^_^

It was  indeed so early, as she noticed the messag
