Marriage to My Teacher
Episode 10 - Angry

...[ BaekHyun POV ]...

I was very angry with Jerin. I'm disappointed in him. I wanted to help her in the right way, but what has she been doing all this time? Maybe he stole the exam questions.

I don't think about what he thinks. He should have learned the right thing if he wanted to get good grades. I scolded him earlier, I had never scolded my disciple like that, not until I knew this could happen.

But there's one I'm sure of for now. The matter of the test had already spread to the other disciples as well, if Jerin had not taken it himself, it would have meant that someone had taken up the matters. I stopped by the side of the road for a moment.

"Good night sir, this is me Mr. BaekHyun, I want to make sure something, is there a leak in the principal's room?"

'Nothing, since yesterday no students are allowed into the principal's room, what's the matter BaekHyun? Is there any more leakage on the exam?'

"Again?"

'In recent months, there have been some teachers who have admitted that their retrials are leaked, so that all students get good grades, but it has made me worry, how they will go to college.'

"Fine sir then, sorry to interrupt father's time, good night sir."

I turned off the call. Any more?

I'm looking for Sowon's contact. "Good night Sowon."

'Brother BaekHyun? What's the matter sir?'

"Where did you get that?" I asked the point.

'Sorry before, sir, but can you please do not spread me who told you? I'm afraid they'll hate me sir.'

"Well, where did you get those things?"

'Actually I am not sure for sure sir, but I just found it in the drawer of the father's desk yesterday home from school, the desk drawer in the classroom, yes I have taken it home, I have taken it home, incidentally I thought Yerin wanted it so I gave it to him,'

"Do you know what the subject is?"

'No sir, I don't need that to graduate.'

"Good, can you figure out where or who got it?"

'That's from the next class sir, I've been looking for him before you ask him, you know some troubled children a few days ago, they were taken to the principal's room,'

"Yes, what's wrong with them?"

'Those who get the problems, and the matter is not Yerin who asked sir, he never used leaks since long ago, this is the first time and he was immediately discovered, he said, it seemed better that I did not do it like that, I did not know he was with my father, and if I may know, why was Jerin with my father? At this hour, sir?'

"You're asking for an explanation of his same friend you're not my same."

'Mr stingy info once, yes sir, I close yes, I want dinner.'

"Yes, thank you Sowon."

It seems I overdone with Yerin earlier, I left him just like that and asked him nothing. Papa would have killed me if Jerin had starved to death there. We haven't had dinner yet. I should have taken her to my mom and dad's house to have dinner together.

I don't know if he wants to eat fried rice or not, but I'll buy 2 packs.

"Sir, the fried rice is 2, please one spicy one don't need." My message. I waited while the fried rice was being made. I opened my phone again. I think students now must be playing Instagram. I'm looking for Yerin's account, who knows.

And sure enough, I opened his account and looked at his photos. It seemed like he was close to Taehyung, there were quite a number of photos of the two of them here.

"Mas, here's the fried rice."

The seller gave me a bag. "This is the money, thank you."

I'm back in the car. Even if he's wrong, I might still apologize for yelling at him too much. I hope he doesn't cry. After I got back to his apartment. I just realized. I don't know the code of the apartment.

"Yerin, open the door."

I tried to knock him but he still didn't open it. I was thinking, would I better call her mom and ask? But later he'll think me and him had a big fight. But that's exactly what happened.

Drtts... Drtts..

'Hello BaekHyun? Where are you? We are all waiting for you, Yerin said he was in his apartment, why don't you bring him here? Where's the Yerin, mama wants to talk to him too.'

"Ma, I'm locked outside, can you please hand me the Yerin apartment code?"

'Attime,'

'His code, 1908, don't fight, don't make Yerin cry or mama will also make you cry,'

"Ma, I'm not a child anymore, yes ma, me and Yerin will have dinner at Jerin's apartment,"

'Yes already then.'

I pressed Yerin's room pin right away after she turned off her phone. Yerin was still in the same place. He was snuggled up on the couch. My eyes were fixed on the brown map he hadn't touched.

"Come out, I don't want you here." Her speech. Her eyes looked puffy, she was definitely crying.

"Let's have dinner first" I asked. He got up from the couch and took the map. I still see where he's taking her. Yerin walked and threw the map into the trash. "If you think I always do this, you're wrong, I just want to tell you, when you're done you can go." He put his foot into his room. This time I had to stop him.

"Yerin, eat first you just go into the room." My speech. She shook her head.

"Not hungry" he answered briefly.

"Yerin, I'm sorry I yelled at you so much earlier, don't get angry, let's eat first, if our parents knew this I definitely wouldn't be here anymore, huh? We'll eat a little while and I'll go."

He turned around and put his foot on the dining table.

Drtts... Drtts.. Drtts....

He picked up his phone. "Hello ma." "Yes I'm fine," "No, we're just a little different." She's staring. His voice was hoarse as if he had cried. I don't understand why he's still protecting me. Different opinions? That's a very subtle language to replace the word snarl. "No ma, BaekHyun is with me now." He called me by a direct name? "Yes ma, well, tomorrow Yer is going to my mom's house." He looked at me again.

He stepped his foot towards the kitchen and came out with two clean dishes. He returned to the kitchen after putting the plate on the dining table. Yerin came out again with 2 glasses of water.

"I don't want to waste any more time." Her speech. He asked for the fried rice that was in my hand. I'm giving. He moved it to the plate and gave it to me. I sat in front of him. Honestly, this is a very different Yerin than the Yerin in school. I feel his attitude is more mature here than at school.

Jerin ate without speaking. "Thank you" I said.

"For?" She asked.

"Protect me just now" I answered. He nodded and continued eating. Yerin ate much faster than me. He's done while I'm still half a plate. He stood up and washed the dishes. "If you're done just put it in the sink, I'll wash it later." Her speech. He walked out of the dining room. I think he's still sad.

I finished my meal quickly. Yerin apartments are always neat. Even the dishwasher is not stacked. I washed my own dishes because I felt bad that Jerin should also wash my dishes. She's not my wife right now.

Finished with my meal, I want to say goodbye to Yerin.

Geck.. Geck..

"Yer." I was surprised because he didn't lock the door. I saw him sitting at his desk.

"Ep. Yer, I."

"Mother can go home now." Her speech. He didn't look at me at all.

"Can I come in?" My toot. She's staring. I went inside because he didn't forbid it. I approached her and saw what she was doing. Yerin instantly closed his laptop when I wanted to see him. I saw it, it's a form.

"That's a form?" My toot.

"We're only getting married for a while, right?" Ask. I'm nodding. "Good."

"Sir, can you go home now? I want a break." Her speech. My gaze continued to lead to the books that were on the study table of Yerin. That's not a textbook.

"You want to be a doctor?" My toot. I picked up one of his books. He got up from his chair and moved to his bed. "It's up to you to want to laugh at me or something" he replied. He lay down on his bed and pulled out his blanket.

"No, I'm sure you can do it." My answer. As a teacher I should indeed push him like that, I was quite surprised that he had already read those books. I think he doesn't like to study, but it looks like he's just going to learn things that he likes.

"Then good night, tomorrow I'll pick you up again for a suit fitting." My speech. He's nodding. I turned off the lights in his room and turned on his night light. It's already night. I have to go home too.

After I was in the car, I pulled my phone out of my pants pocket. Gosh darn. What the fuck TaeYeon, 20 calls in?

I read TaeYeon's messages. "I'm sorry I'm busy today, we'll see you tomorrow afternoon at your house." I returned the message. Now I have to go home. My head hurts today dealing with Yerin all day.
