First day of my Senior year and here I am running like a maniac. I woke up late today, of all days, my body clock had to choose this day for me to sleep in. I actually attended an open party last night held by my best friend, Min Hee. Speaking of which, I have to call and check up on her.

“Yeoboseyo?” she answered

“Where are you?” I asked as I rode the bus

“I just finished taking a shower. You?”

“I’m on my way to school. I’ll see you there, okay?”

“Yeah”

I ran to the school gates and punched in my I.D. for attendance. I ran to the multi-purpose hall as fast as I could. I took an empty seat next to my other friend, Kim. I was panting and lightly sweating. I’m not a runner and actually, I’m not athletic either.

“Where were you? The program is about to start” Kim asked me

I took in a big breath, “I slept in”

“Again?!”

“Yeah”

“Where’s Min Hee?” Kim asked as she took out her phone

“She’s on her way”

The principal stood in front and adjusted the microphone before speaking, “Students, please quiet down. The program will start in thirty minutes”

“Hey, babe” Henry placed his arm around Kim’s shoulder

“Hey!” she pecked his cheek

“Hey, Min Ri!” Henry greeted me

“Aren’t you a college student? What are you doing in the High school department?” I asked

“My class will start in a few hours. I wanted to see how my brothers’ first day would start” he smiled at me

“Brothers?” I asked

He flashed a smirk at me. Suddenly, the doors of the auditorium opened and it revealed my best friend. Her hair was a mess and her uniform was not ironed. She ran and took a seat next to mine. She smiled at me.

“Hey!” she greeted

“Hey” I smiled

“You look like hell” she spoke

“Thanks” I smiled sarcastically

“Hey, Kimberly! Hey, Henry! I didn’t see you two last night at my party” Min Hee eyed them

“We were busy preparing for the first day of classes. We talked about what classes she’d take this year” Henry defended

“Yeah. Plus, I was too lazy to go out anyway” Kimberly smiled

A little over half an hour later, the principal finally introduced us the new set of faculty members. I yawned knowing this will be a long talk. I sat back and watched as the new teachers appeared on stage.

“Mr. Choi Siwon” the principal spoke and a tall, God-like man appeared in front of all of us, “He will be your P.E teacher for the year” the principal spoke with a smile

“Good morning to everyone, I’m Mr. Choi and I will be your P.E teacher for the year. This will be my first time to teach the Senior batch so please, make it easy for me” he flashed his dimples and the girls screamed

“Oppa!!!!” one girl shouted

“OMG! He is so cute!” another one shouted

Min Hee turned to me, “Oh damn! Remind me to make P.E. my elective class, okay?” she joked

I giggled, “Yeah. Okay”

“Next up, Mr. Lee Donghae, he will be your English teacher”

Donghae bowed and smiled, “Hello, Please call me Mr. Lee but if we’re close enough, I will let you call me Donghae” he smiled

Min Hee turned to me again, “Scratch that! English is now my elective and major” Min Hee giggled

“Next up, Mr. Kim Ryeowook, he will be your Home Economics teacher”

Ryeowook bowed, “Hello! I can’t wait to teach all of you cooking and home making. I hope we can all get along well. This is actually my first year in teaching so please, make it memorable for me”

Again, the girls screamed. Actually, I was surprised to see good-looking faculty members this year. This is the first in my nine years in studying at Kyunghee University that they’ve had good-looking teachers. Usually they would hire either old or married non good-looking employees here, but wow! This year I think it’s different. The principal continued on and introduced the remaining teachers, some I didn’t get the names because I fell asleep. The next thing I knew was that Min Hee and Kim were shaking my shoulders because the program was done.

“Dude, Come on!” Min Hee took a grip on my wrist and dragged me out of the auditorium

We sat in the cafeteria and Min Hee went in line to get us food. As I waited, I heard girls murmur about the new teachers and how gorgeous they are. I would greatly agree with that, with no doubt and holding back. The new faculty members were really good-looking at that was all I could say.

“Here” Kim placed a cup of instant coffee in front me, “How much did you drink last night?” she sat next to me

“Thanks” I smiled, “Enough to get me crawling back to my place” I took a sip

“Psshh! I couldn’t crawl back to my own bedroom in my own house” Min Hee placed a salad in front me and Kim

“What are you doing to my girlfriend?” Minho took a seat in front of me, “Good morning, babe”

“Morning” I smiled

“We got her drunk last night. Is there a problem?” Min Hee raised a brow at Minho

Minho ignored Min Hee’s annoying expression and turned his attention to me, “Babe, what classes are you planning to take?” he asked

“Uhh ... Home Eco., Eco, Trig, Computer, Physics, Music, History, English, P.E. That’s it so far” I smiled, “How about you?” I asked

“Economics and Trigonometry” he said

 “You’re not taking English?” Min Hee asked

“No. I already have a great teacher” Minho took my hand and kissed my knuckles

“Disgusting!” Min Hee snorted

“I think it’s sweet” Kim smiled with hands clasped together

“I love you” he mouthed

“I love you too” I mouthed back

The bell rang and we all went to the registrar’s desk to get our official class schedule for one whole year. After Minho and I got our schedules, we headed to our first class.

“Room 203 ... Mr. Cho” Minho murmured

“Who’s he?”I asked

“Economics teacher, Were you asleep again?” he stopped walking and looked at me

“Yes” I flashed a cheesy smile and he shook his head with a smile, “By the way, where were you this morning?” I asked

“I took my mom to the airport this morning” he said weakly

“New York?” I asked

“As always, if she loves it in New York, why can’t she just live there with her clothing line?” he asked angrily

I stopped walking and pulled his arm. I looked at his teary eyes, “Because she loves you and she wants the best for you. Okay?” I entwined our fingers and we continued to walk to our first class

Minho was quiet the whole time we walked to our class. I, as his girlfriend for three years, understand his situation. Not that we’re the same, it’s just that I’ve seen his mom and I’ve seen her just leave Minho at home because of an important call from the office. Minho’s father was the most famous lawyer and president of the biggest telecommunications in Seoul and his mother was a famous designer in New York. When Minho’s father died, his mother drowned herself with work and busied herself with meetings and parties. Minho was left with his butler and maid until he found me. From the day Minho and I became an official couple, he never left my side and my number was on speed dial on his phone and his number on speed dial in mine.

As I saw the classroom, Minho and I entered and took a seat near the teacher’s table. I placed my bag on the floor and my books on my desk. The girls behind my flirted with Minho but he just answered their questions briefly then turned his attention back to me. He clasped our fingers together and he smiled at me and I rolled my eyes at him.

I heard him sigh, “What?” he asked

“As if you don’t know, those girls were flirting with you” I answered calmly

“I know. That’s why I answered them briefly”

“Do I have to place a piece of paper on your forehead that says ‘He’s mine so back off’?”

“If that’s the way you want it then go. I don’t mind being labelled as yours” he smiled cheekily

I rolled my eyes. I know he’s enjoying this. He’s taking this chance to absorb all the attention he’s getting from other girls and from me. I suddenly felt him raise our clasped hands and he kissed my knuckles.

“No one else. Just you” he whispered

“You better make sure of that” I threatened

The bell rang, signalling for the first period to start and all the girls started squealing and giggling. I raised my brow at Minho and he smiled

“He’s ‘cute’ according to the girls” he spoke

“Really? How ‘cute’?” I asked with eyes twinkling

He raised a brow at me, “Are you serious?!”

“Maybe” I answered

Suddenly, the girls of my class started screaming as out new teacher walked in. A tall, fair skinned man with so-so hair, piercing eyes, long and slender fingers walked in. Wow. They were right. He was gorgeous. I could see Minho’s expression from my peripherals and damn am I happy to see him suffering from this.

“Good morning. I’m Cho Kyuhyun and I will be your Economics teacher for this year” he bowed and wrote down his name on the white board.

“Oh my god! He’s sooooooo cute! He’s handsome, actually” a girl behind me whispered

I smiled and I raised my hand, “Excuse me, sir?”

He looked at me with a smile, “Yes?”

“The class wants to know, do you have a girlfriend or wife by any chance?” I asked in a flirty tone and I received squeals and giggles from the girls in my class

He laughed, “No. I don’t ... Ms.?” He raised a brow at me

“Lee” I answered

“Well, Ms. Lee, I don’t have a girlfriend ... for now” he explained

The girls squealed again and murmured at each other. As for Minho, he just stared at me with his jaw dropped to the floor in shock. I turned to him and I flashed him a smirk.

I pulled him by his tie and looked deep in his eyes, “Next time I see you flirt with other girls, I’ll be flirting with Mr. Cho” I whispered in his ear.
