“Compared to the past few weeks, you look happier now ________.” One of her colleagues commented as she sat down with them for breakfast in the school.

“Thanks. I do feel a bit better now.” _______ replied. It’s true, although she wasn’t problem-free, especially in her love life, ________ still did her best in trying to take in the good with the bad.

“That’s good. You kept spacing-out on us during the past weeks and it all made us worry.” Bora said as she placed the dressing on her salad.

_______ wanted to show a smile to her friends more now than let them see her with a worried expression and have them repeatedly ask her if she’s okay. She knows it’s also not a good example for the kids to see their teacher with a trouble expression and a distracted mind.

“Good morning.” _______ smiled as she welcomed her students in the classroom.

The kids lined up in a single uniform line in front of ________, each of the girls gave her chocolates while the boys gave her a stem of flower.

“Awww…Thank you kids. What are these for? Is today teacher’s day or something? ” ________ asked her class why they were giving her those but none of them gave her an answer, most of them just kept giggled while the others just formed hearts using their hands.

“Well look at that, someone is Ms. Popular.” Fei friend as she snuck inside ________’s classroom while she was on her way to her room.

“I don’t know why they’re giving me these though. They’re not telling me and I don’t know if it really came from them.” ________ wondered.

“Ooohh maybe it’s from a secret admirer.” Fei said as she ‘borrowed’ a pack of chocolate from ________’s table.

“Whoever it is, he has good taste. Oooh Pepero!” Fei pointed to a few boxes of the dessert and this time she asked her friend if she could have some before going on her way.

“Okay class, today you’ll be reading short stories called drabbles. These stories consist of only one-hundred words so don’t frown, yes you Hai Yang, don’t show me that pout.” _______ placed the paper on the kid’s desk and slightly messed with his hair.

“After reading them, I want you to write a summary and your reaction about the stories.” ________ gave them the whole period to do their task while she tries to satisfy her curiosity, trying to think who might be behind the sweet gesture.

_______ yawned when she was in the middle of checking the papers of her students. She didn’t want to leave without finishing her work.

“Okay…maybe just a short nap will do.” _______ told herself as she set an alarm on her phone. After that, she gently rested the side of her face on her arms that were on the table.

It only took a couple of minutes before sleep took over ________.

Unknown to her, someone has been actually waiting for her to leave so he could leave another surprise treat for her.

‘She's being such a bad example. What kind of teacher sleeps in class, inside her own classroom?’ The amused guy chuckled to himself as he saw his lady, still charming despite her current state.

‘I guess I might as well do something while we’re both here.’ He started to sneakily walk inside the room. He planned his footing well and immediately thought of places where he could quickly hide if ever _______ wakes up with him being in the room.

He had his lips shut as he tiptoed closer to where _______ was. He picked up a piece of chalk and started writing down on the black board.

After writing on the board he returned the chalk to its original place and took a peek at _________, who was thankfully still sleeping.

“You really don’t know what you do to me.” He whispered and caressed _______’s cheek as lightly as he could. _______ slightly moved from that feather-like touch since it lightly tickled the side of her face.

________ woke up after her twenty-minute nap. Even though she badly wanted to go back to sleep, she fought it off and finished checking all of the papers that were submitted to her.

‘Finally done!’ _______ did a victory dance in her head as she placed the papers inside a folder and kept it in one of the drawers of her desk.

She stood up and got her belongings, double checking things as she readied herself to head out.

‘Huh?’ _______ tilted her head to the side as she finally got a look at the writing on the board.

‘Don’t tire yourself out.

I can only hope that you dream of me, like how I do with you.’

Although the message was sweet and cute, ________ couldn’t help but be slightly bothered that someone was able to sneak up on her in that short amount of time that she rested.

She checked the hallways but of course by that time no one was in sight.

Who can that mysterious someone be?

________ was already in front of the small apartment that the school provided for her and for the rest of the volunteers.

She was ready to enter when something caught her eye…followed by someone who called her name, making her turn around and see a person she didn't expect to see.

Sorry if it’s just a short update…this is more like a filler chapter. Cliffhanger ;) 

Oohh Hai Yang makes a cameo ;) If you guys don’t know who he is, then you have to head over my Love Line series story ^_~ He’s the fictional son of Hae in that story.

I'm feeling sick :(

Paralovesuperjunior: The first gif? Just borrowed it from tumblr but I don't have it saved *_* That's from a SuperShow vcr though.

cupidzangel: Yeah everyone but Donghae is feeling mixed emotions about seeing her.

Maybe Ivy should have talked to Donghae's girl and gave her the advice so that it would knock some sense to her.haha Hopefully that would keep Donghae's spirits up and not give up.
