"Please, say something, Noona!" he squeezed your hands and couldn't stand still on his place.

He was so nervous all this time but he was still smiling at this moment too!

"Jungkook- how? What do I even say?" you said and looked down sadly.

A part of you was somehow really happy but the more you think about it the more it felt wrong.

"I'm your teacher, Kook! We are not possible!" you shook your head and looked at him, hoping for some miracle to happen so that he won't get hurt by your words.

"But, Noona! I'm not telling you to answer me right away. I can wait, and about you being my teacher, I really don't care anymore. All that matters is how you feel!
I don't give a fuck about what others say! So, please think about it, okay?" he leaned down at your face level and said all this with a somewhat pained yet hopeful smile.

"It's not about how people think. I'm not sure about myself! I don't know what is going on with me and just the idea of being together with my student horrifies me! It just feels so wrong- I can't!"

His lips formed a smile as he gazed at you under the setting sun. His smile looked broken.

"All I wanna know is do you like me too? I'm not asking about how you see it. I just wanna know your answer, Noona!" he asked with anticipation.

"I really adore you so much! I've never felt this way towards anyone but I don't know if I like you like that." you stated hesitantly.

"Ms Kim! Are you sure you're still not thinking about what others may think?" he left your hands and faced the ocean with a sigh.

"I- I'm not, I'm just not sure yet." you said trying to make him understand.

"Uh huh! I don't think you're being honest with yourself, Noona! But don't worry, I'll make you believe soon." he said with a sad smile as you could see his eyes sparkling.

"Jungkook? Are you... oh my!" you nearly gasped when you saw one pure crystal like drop cascade down his eye.

You grasped his forearm and turned him around towards you. He indeed was smiling but his eyes said otherwise.

"It's nothing! I'll show you Ms Kim! You just wait." he said and kept smiling trying not to cry literally.

Your heart ached seeing him like this. You wiped the lonely tear and kept your hand on his cheek for a moment. This calmed him down and his eyes gained some shine back.

"You're so warm!" he exclaimed and leaned more into your touch, feeling your hand on his skin. Seeing this, you smiled a little and caressed his cheek to make him feel better. You didn't even know why you were doing it.

"It's getting late. Should we get going now?" you said while still looking into his eyes. He nodded and put his hand on yours, gently guiding it down.

"Let's go!" he took your hand in his and started walking towards his car. Your eyes got stuck on your clasped hands.

All throughout the ride, you were silent and Jungkook only focused on the road. When you reached your home, he smiled at you sweetly like never before.

What is he trying to do now?

"Bye, Noona! Should I come pick you up tomorrow?" he asked from his seat.

"Bye, drive safe! And you don't have to come here and waste your time, Tae will drop me to school." you said and he thought for a while before saying.

"Ah, why would you bother Taetae hyung when I'm here? Don't you worry!" he said and smiled for the last time before switching the engine to life, and just like that he was gone.

"Huh? Aish, this boy!" you stammered and made your way inside.

⚏

"Bye, dad! I'm off to school!" you stumbled your way out of the kitchen after hugging your dad. A cold coffee is all you had for the morning today.

"Tae?" you yelled for him to come out and drop you to school. But seems like he's not ready yet. You went out hoping he'd come out soon.

"Noona!! I'm here! Let's go!" there he comes with his charming aura. The Jeon Jungkook!

"Why are you here? I told you, you don't have to be bothered!" you said as he stood in front of you. He examined your face before speaking.

"I also told you not to worry, Noona! You shouldn't bother tae hyung when I'm here! And this-" he came forward and leaned down to wipe your lips with his thumb. Moving his thumb to his own lips, he licked it clean.

"All done! You had something on your pretty lips." he smiled cheekily as he saw your cheeks go pink.

"Wow, wow  wow! Love birds! Early in the morning? I hope I didn't miss anything." Tae joined you and started laughing at your flustered state. You still hadn't recovered from the attack and Tae just spilled more oil in the fire.

"No hyung, you didn't miss anything." he winked, "we were just going to school now. Can I take noona with me?" he asked with a smile, already knowing that Taehyung is going to agree with him.

"Sure! You can! Bye, bye sista! See you in the evening!" he waved his hands and you glanced at Jungkook who was ready to take you with him.

"O-okay... let's go," you sighed knowing they both want you to go with Jungkook.

He opened the car door for you and made you sit on the passenger seat, before getting inside as well.

"How was your sleep, noona?" he asked while igniting the engine.

"Um, it was good." ypu said and turned your head towards the window. You couldn't understand how can he be so calm after all that happened the previous day! He was all happy today, despite the fact that he cried, he wasn't showing any signs of sadness.

Soon, you reached the school grounds, and he parked the car. You were about to unbuckle your seat-belt but halted.

"Noona, I'll make sure you see my love." he smiled and leaned forward, pecking your left cheek hastily. A giggled escaped his throat as he got out of the car.

You put your hand on your cheek where his lips landed and gulped before getting out of the car.

If he has decided to make you feel his love then you're done for. And you can't even bring yourself to say anything to him. You can't deny the butterflies that fly around in your stomach because of him.

"I'll pick you up, as always!" he said as he saw you getting out with flustered face.

You didn't say anything and just nodded, knowing he is going to do what he wants to. Also the effect he had on you was too much right now.

⚏

"Y'all should respect Ms Kim and it's my order! If you don't get it then fuck off before I lose my mind." Jungkook slammed his hand on the table and glared at everyone who sat silently fearing for their life.

Suddenly, The class erupted in small whispers and little gasps. Jimin snickered at the back looking at his best friend being crazy for his teacher.

"Jungkook? What is all of this?" you entered the classroom and saw him at the front.

"Nothing, Ms Kim! I'm just making sure of your well being! You can start the lecture now." he said with a smile and walked off with his hands in pocket, making sure to brush his hands with yours on his way.

You just shrugged it off and started the lecture. Your eyes caught him looking at you very attentively. Could he be paying attention to the lecture or is it something else?

Whatever it might be, you ignored his burning eyes on you and focused on teaching. On a second note, will you be going to his house for tutoring again now? Thoughts like this tried to cloud your mind but you caught up on teaching soon.

"Okay! We'll keep it till here for now! Make sure to revise this by the next lecture!" you threw a last smile at the class and everyone started walking out as it was break time.

"Noona! Lemme help you-" of course it's him again. He had a constant smile on his face this time too. But did he forget about the nickname thingie already?

"Jungkook, why are you calling me noona here in school? I told you not to!" you whisper yelled as he nearly snatched the bunch of books from your hands.

"But there's no one here! I love calling you noona! It's okay, no one heard me... it's just for you to hear!" he said in a low voice and you looked away. His words are so powerful. He knows what to say exactly that will make you shut up immediately.

He walked off and you trailed behind his back till the staffroom.

"Hello, Mr Min! My friend Park Jimin was missing you specially, and he said hi to you." Jungkook smiled cheekily as he saw Mr Min nodding his head and then looking down again on his desk.

Mr Min might seem cold but he had a soft spot for Jimin. Jungkook knew it, so it wouldn't hurt to help his best friend out, would it?

Jungkook stared at you until you sat down on your desk and then he walked out.

⚏

After the break was ended, you were walking down the hallway to your next class when a boy came to you.

The hallway was pretty much empty as everyone must be in their assigned classes right now.

"Um, hello Ms Kim! I need to tell you something." the boy looked terrified for some reason.

"Yes?" you asked with a kind smile.

"Actually, I want to confess something. I hope you don't get angry at me." he said and fixed his glasses.

"I won't get mad at you! Don't worry, tell me! " you tried to help him open up.

"I- I... like you, Ms Kim!" he said and as soon as the words slipped out from him mouth, he went all red.

"What the fuck?!" your eyes darted on the tall figure that you didn't see was there until now.

" Huh? " You widened your eyes as you saw jungkook pushing the boy aside harshly.

" How dare you say that, huh? " He stood in front of you protectively. His eyes threw daggers at the poor boy who was shivering by now.

As he didn't say anything, Jungkook stepped forward, his tongue poking his cheek. He was mad! He held the boy by the collar of his shirt and looked dead in his eyes.

"What the heck, Jungkook? Leave him! You'll get in trouble because of this, let him go!" you tried to grab his hand but he didn't let you.

"I won't, Noona! Let me handle this!" he turned to you for a second but focused on the boy again.

His face indicated that he was furious and that made you gulp. Never ever in your life would you want to get punched by those strong hands, you felt bad for the boy.

"Listen up! If you dare to say this ever again in front of her, I'll make you miserable!" he spat those words furiously yet calmly not to make any loud voice.

"Noona belongs to me. If you even think about her, I won't hesitate! You get what I mean right?" his voice was low and deep. The boy was at the verge of crying. "Now fuck off before I kick your ass!" he said a little loudly making you gasp.

"Stop cursing, Jungkook and let him go!" your voice resonated in the hallway and he let him go free. The poor boy ran away faster than the light. Not practically possible, but the fear of getting hit by Jungkook drove him insane; not in a good way.

Jungkook dusted his hands off and came towards you. His brows were furrowed and he still looked mad.

"Calm down, will you? You can't just threaten someone like this! I would have just denied and told him to go away, you didn't have to make it huge. What if you get in trouble because of-" a finger stopped your lips from moving.

"Shh! Noona, no one can do shit against me, so chill! And you... belong to me, I had to make him understand. I'll even do this again if I need to!" he smirked and walked away before gently tapping your lips.
