Back at school.

Taeyeon looks really happy when he walked inside the classroom. Most of the students noticed it.

"Look at Mr. Kim he looks weird." One of the students at the back whispered

"Is he high?"

"Okay Good Morning class." Taeyeon greeted and smiled. He didn't forget to glance at Krystal.

"Morning Mr. Kim." The students answered. Taeyeon noticed that Krystal wasn't in her good mood. She wasn't smiling that much and she looks troubled.

She was really fine last night? What happened to her?

Taeyeon proceeded on his lessons not forgetting to give Krystal the worried look.

"Are you sure Krys?" Luna asked when their class ended

"Yeah I'll join you later I just need to tell Mr. Kim something."

"Okay." Her friends answered then waved at her

"Bye Mr. Kim."

"Bye."

"Hey are you alright?" Taeyeon asked when no one is left

Krystal sighed and looked at him. "Tae..”

“Yeah what is it?”

“Jessica knows.”

Taeyeon froze .. he looked at her with a stiff expression

"Wha..what?" He stuttered

"She found out last night."

"Ho..how? What.."

Before Krystal could answer Hyuna called for Taeyeon so they both stop talking and turned to her direction.

"Hey Taeyeon Mr. Lee needs to talk to you." She said while smiling dearly

"Uhh. Okay yeah just a bit." He answered

"Okay bye." Hyuna said before waving

"I'm sorry Krys.." Taeyeon said apologetically

"She wants to talk to you later. I mean with us." Krystal said

"Oh..right I guess this is the time." He said trying to lighten up a bit “This is like the chance right?”

"Yeah.. I'm sorry I was too careless."

"It's alright Krys.." He answered assuring Krystal.

"I need to go." Krystal said and Taeyeon just nodded

"See you later I guess." He said before Krystal walked away

Deep deep ! He mumbled while ruffling his hair in frustration

When school is over Taeyeon received a message from Jessica. He immediately went to the meeting place and saw Jessica alone there.

Where's Soojung?

--

"Hey." Taeyeon managed to say

"Sit down." Jessica said while looking at Taeyeon straightly.

Taeyeon gulped then took a sit in front of Jessica. Taeyeon was fidgeting with his fingers and seems to have lost his voice.

"Taeyeon." She started while looking sternly at him

"Jess."

"Why her? Why my sister!"

"Jess I can explain."

"Well explain!"

Taeyeon sighed and look at Jessica with sad eyes.

"After what happened to me and Tiffany I thought that I'll never find someone again." Jessica didn’t answer "So when I transferred here with the hopes of forgetting her and to start a new chapter in my life." He smiled a bit  "Well I got a job on the university and that's when I met Soojung. I don't know Jess but the first time I saw her I already felt something different."

"Tae."

“It’s weird ‘coz she’s a student and I’m a teacher you know. It’s forbidden! But I swear I'm not playing Jess. I do know how painful it is to get hurt. I swear that my intentions with her are clean."

"But she's your student Taeyeon! Can't you wait atleast until she graduates?!"

"Well it happened! We happened you know. I tried to hide my feelings but.."

He stopped

"But what?!"

"She confessed to me." He said shyly

"What is that?" Jessica is amused "She confessed?"

"Well yeah but that’s not uh.. Jess. I swear I love your sister!"

Jessica kept silent. Taeyeon felt that everything is in slow motion.

"What if she comes back? What if Tiffany comes back?" Jessica asked seriou
