Jungkook's POV

Jungkook checked himself in the mirror for one last time and finally headed out to his university.It's been two months since he started teaching classes and he must admit that he has changed quite a lot these days. For example, he started taking more time in getting ready for university, he started becoming more conscious about his looks.

The reason behind his changes?

Yes, it's Kang Ara

At first, Jungkook thought it was just a silly crush or lust though he never had a crush on anyone before.He thought it was just because of how good looking Ara was.It was good that way actually.

But then he slowly started realizing how he started observing even the littlest habits of Ara

For example, Jungkook knows that Ara has a habit of wetting her lower lip with her saliva whenever she puts too much concentration on something. He knows how Ara's voice goes deeper when she feels angry. Hell, he even knows how many moles Ara has on her face, neck and hands. The way Ara pushes her hair back whenever they fall on her forehead, blocking her view, the way Ara explains the concepts, the way she walks, talks - everything, literally everything about the girl fascinates Jungkook.

It was crazy!

Νο!

It was scary!

Yes, Jungkook is scared at this point because it's just two months and instead of getting rid of those feelings, he is getting more and more into it. He can feel how those feelings have started to mess with him now. He doesn't know how to stop them. He doesn't know how to stop these new, unfamiliar feelings towards Ara. He doesn't know how to stop getting affected by every little thing Kang Ara doee ..

He fucking knows that he can't do anything now and now he is logging to make her his only Jeon Jungkook can have Kang Ara he he will do anything to have her Even it includes killing ...

Stopping his Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine he entered the college and finally entered his cabin where he is going to check for the last surprise test which he took 3 days ago ..

Meanwhile Ara 's POV

How come you are this fast these days/"

Ara's thoughts finally came to a halt when she heard a familiar voice which was dripping with pure sarcasm. She didn't bother to reply and walked past the intruder who was sitting on the couch of their living room.

She walked straight to the dining room where he found her dad Byung Haesung having breakfast.A smile appeared on his face when they looked up, hearing footsteps.

"Princess aren't you late?" His father asked, looking at the time on his wrist watch. The man was wearing a suit which showed that he was ready to leave for the company soon.

"My first class will be starting in half an hour and I was here to say 'bye' to you. Ara smiled sheepishly at her father who nodded his head in understatement.

"And what about your breakfast?" Hearing the voice, the father-daughter duo looked at an unimpressed Ara's oppa Zitao who had his lips pursed in a thin line.

"I'll have it on the way." Ara gave her oppa the most innocent look she could master before taking 4 sandwiches with a bunch of tissues.

"Kang Ara "

"I promise, I'll have my breakfast with you from tomorrow onwards. This is the last time." Ara said as she already started walking away, not daring to look at his oppa who might have a 'so done' expression on his face at the moment.

"Let's go, Jiah. We are pretty much late already." Ara said before walking out of the house as she munched on the first sandwich and she hummed at the deliciousness, completely ignoring the way Jiah was glaring at her from his backside. They hurriedly got seated on the passenger and the driver started the car to drop them off ..

End of POV

Aella's POV

Winters in Korea were chilly. The cold seeped into my body as I held myself closely. l came back to my own mansion. For the past few days our team, technically Bangtan's team, had been asking me to stay at a safe house where we would plan the whole thing. It still was difficult for me to believe that my plan to put fake evidence worked. It either meant that Taemin was a genius or Chief Kang and the other officers were the finest idiots the department had seen.

My bet was the latter.

Timeskips

Aella had been eagerly anticipating Sofia's visit ever since she returned to Seoul. A month away from home had felt like an eternity, and she couldn't wait to catch up with her best friend. Sofia, equally excited, finally arrived at Aella's mansion on a sunny Saturday afternoon .

The mansion, nestled in a quiet, upscale neighborhood, was a blend of modern architecture and traditional Korean elements. As Sofia approached the grand entrance, she couldn't help but admire the lush garden and the serene ambiance. The door swung open before she could knock, and Aella stood there, her face lighting up with a radiant smile.

"Sofia! You're finally here!" Aella exclaimed, pulling her friend into a warm embrace.

"I've missed you so much, Aella!" Sofia replied, returning the hug tightly. "This place is even more beautiful than I remembered."

They walked inside, the spacious interior of the mansion echoing their footsteps. The elegant decor and cozy atmosphere made it feel both grand and inviting. Aella led Sofia to the living room, where a table was set with an array of snacks, drinks, and their favorite pastries from a nearby bakery.

"I wanted everything to be perfect for our reunion," Aella said, gesturing to the spread. "I know how much you love these pastries."

Sofia's eyes lit up. "You remembered! This is amazing, Aella.

Sofia's eyes lit up. "You remembered! This is amazing, Aella."

They settled into the plush sofas, the large windows offering a picturesque view of the garden. The conversation flowed effortlessly, starting with Aella

"I have so much to tell you," Aella began but I missed home. And I missed you."

"I'm so glad you're back, Aella," Sofia said, looking at her friend with genuine affection. "Seoul wasn't the same without you."

Aella smiled, feeling a deep sense of contentment. "I feel the same way. Being back with you makes everything perfect."

I think you should talk to Taehyung about this .. Yeah surely I will do that later but for now let's just focus on the mission .

End of POV

Jungkook and Ara's POV

The day went pretty slowly for Jungkook as he attended all the classes, impatiently waiting for the English class which was scheduled at the end. On the other hand It was already past three in the afternoon and Ara's heart picked up its pace, knowing Jeon Jungkook could enter the class any moment.

She looked at the class which was filled with overexcited students.It was funny how most of them act like sloths during other classes and then become hyperactive during the English class.

No, it wasn't because of the class.

It was because of Jeon Jungkook who's the center of attraction of the class.

Even though Jungkook teaches much better than other professors, Jungkook is sure that most of the students come to his class only to drool over him. Not many bother to pay attention to what he's teaching. They try to attract the handsome professor's attention to themselves instead.

"Mind telling me why you're rolling your eyes at the wall?"

Ara whipped his head towards Jiah when she heard her best friend .A sigh left her nostrils when she saw the judging look Jiah was giving her For the first time in her life, she didn't know what to tell the her .Hell, she herself wasn't sure why she was behaving like this.

"They are so noisy." Ara mumbled before averting her gaze towards their classmates. It wasn't a lie though. She said what was bothering her.

"Oh c'mon...It's called the 'Mr. Jeon Effect." Jiah laughed, finding his own words funny while Ara sighed, knowing that what her best friend said was nothing but the truth.

Jeon Jungkook had that aura which attracted everyone towards him. It's not only Ara who has her eyes on the professor. There are many who have their interests in the man.

Blame Jeon Jungkook 's looks and personality!

"Good afternoon, class."

A familiar, deep voice resonated through the classroom as the whole class turned pin drop silent. Even though Ara was waiting for this moment from the start of the day, she couldn't look up at the source of the voice.

"See, this is what I talked about." Jiah whispered to Ara referring to the silence inside the hall-like room.

Today I will announce the result of the surprise test ...

Silence engulfed the whole classroom as soon as the students were told that the result of their surprise Math test would be given on that very day. For the first time in that class, most of the students felt suffocated, not wanting to know what marks they gained in the test. The nervousness they felt only increased when the professor's eyes roamed in their faces, probably to see their reactions to what he just declared.

"You'll come here and recieve your copies when I call the roll numbers..." Jungkook spoke after some time.

"....along with the marks you obtained." He continued, this time his words giving chills down the students' spines.

No-one was prepared for the upcoming embarrassment, at least not in their present . Even the toppers who were sure of getting good marks got nervous when their new favorite professor said those words. Ara, being one of those toppers, could feel sweat coming out of her forehead when she knew that Jeon would be calling her roll number too.

On the day of the test, Ara was pretty sure that she was gonna get full marks.She even solved all the questions before the period was over.

But now?Now she suddenly wants to run away from the classroom.

What if he unknowingly missed something?

What if Jungkook is disappointed with her performance?

Even when everything's alright, what if she faints in front of the man?

Ara bit her lower lip as the anxiety inside her rose to its maximum. She looked at Jiah who, as usual, was sitting beside her. She didn't look bothered by the situation at all.in fact, it looked like she was enjoying the other students' misery a bit too much.

The familiar deep voice made Ara flinch when he clearly heard the disappointment in it. She looked up at the professor who had a blank look on his face as he handed the copy he was holding to one of the female students. Jungkook could clearly see the girl's hand shaking when he took the copy. He saw how the girl didn't dare to look up even once for the whole time.

And Jungkook

He started looking really intimidating all of a sudden.

The way the man was calling the students and handing them their copies with a disappointed look on his face made him look like a completely different person.

His face looked stern, his usual bright appearance was nowhere in sight.Every time the students who got low marks stood in front of him, his eyes would turn emotionless, showing how he didn't expect such results from them.

The saga continued....

Ara kept looking at the students who went to the professor with a scared look on their faces and then returned with a dejected, ashamed look. Their expressions were enough to show how much they loathed themselves for disappointing their favorite professor.

After some time Ara felt Jiah standing up as her roll number was read out loud this time.The girl then walked towards the professor with confident steps. Unlike other students, she wasn't nervous. In fact, there was a small smile playing on his lips as she stood in front of the professor.

"...97"

"Well done!" The lips of the man curved a bit upwards as he nodded his head at Jimin proudly, handing him the copy afterwards.

"Thank you, Mr. Jeon" Jiah passed the professor her infamous eye smile before returning to her seat,

Ara couldn't help but gulp in nervousness when Jiah finally sat beside her . He knew that her roll number would be called any moment and oh boy! She felt her throat getting dry, finding it difficult to stay calm.

...Ara , Ara .. Ara snapped out of her negative thoughts when she felt a sudden pain in her sides. She looked towards her best friend who just elbowed her and is now glaring at her in a subtle manner.

"Go" She spoke in a hushed tone when Ara looked at her with clueless eyes.

"Huh?"

"Go bish...It's your turn." Jiah gritted her teeth at how dumb the girl one was acting all of a sudden.

Ara's eyes widened in realization. Due to nervousness, she didn't even hear her roll number being called loudly. He stood up hastily before the professor thought he's absent.He then took shaky steps towards the man who now had his eyes settled on him.

It felt hard to breathe as Ara felt Jungkook's sharp eyes on her . She didn't dare to look up, not wanting to embarrass herself in front of the whole class by running away from the room. All she wished for was for her heart to slow down a beat so that its sound can't be heard by Jungkook himself.

Imagine your professor catching you having feelings for him, that too in front of a whole class!

Once Ara stood in front of the professor, she took a shaky breath before looking up but again looked down immediately when her eyes landed right on those almond, addictive eyes. She couldn't look at them directly for some reason.

Meanwhile

Time slowed down for Jungkook as well. He kept changing his weight on either of his feet. His knees feel weak, too weak for his liking. He could feel everyone's attention on him, probably waiting to hear how much marks Ara obtained. Also, the eyes of his favorite person on him didn't help him at all.It all made him feel even worse.

"100"

Ara 's breath hitched when he heard the voice barely above a whisper. She looked up at the professor with wide eyes, not understanding if what she heard was real.

He didn't just say that?

Was she hearing things then?

Of course, she is. Because Jungkook's face looked as blank as ever.....

"100"

Ara saw how the word rolled out of the professor's mouth, this time for real. She blinked her eyes dumbly, trying to process what she was being told at the moment.
A gasp left his mouth when she realized that she had obtained full marks on the test. Well, it's nothing new for her but this time, it felt special.

"It felt so damn special"....

"Good job, Mrs Jeon I mean Ms Kang Keep it up."

And There it was....

Jeon Jungkook smiled that special smile of his as he handed Ara the copy.

Ara felt her cheeks heating up just by receiving the mere smile from the man. It did things to her she couldn't express with words!

She knew that she liked the man before...

But now?

Now she knows for a fact that it's not only her liking towards the man...

"There's much more to it!

With a small smile on her lips, Ara finally took the copy from Jungkook where at the same time Jungkook heart almost leaped out of his chest when the man's fingers touched the fingers for a nanosecond.It might be a really small fraction of time but it didn't fail to give butterflies in both of their stomach.

While Ara returned to her seat afterwards, still feeling dazed by whatever happened within the last few minutes.

As she sat down on her seat and heard another roll number being called, she finally relaxed.

But it didn't stay for long when she realized something....

Unlike other students, Jungkook called her by her name

Yes ofcourse once he dropped her to her old apprament naturally Jungkook call everyone by their roll no but he didn't hesitate for once to call her by her name

That means Jungkook he remembered name and everything that like her

Jungkook do notice and remember everything her ....

To be continued .....
