"I heard Teacher Shin likes someone." He halts on his step standing still just beside the window to his classroom, he frowns hearing his name being mentioned. He tilts his head and looks to the side examining where the sound was coming from or maybe whom?
"True... I heard someone saw him carrying a girl on his back. " Another girl speaks catching his attention, he turns his body to the window and listens to them in surprise. He knew he always happens to be the center of gossips but here he was being gossiped with one of his students. It took him by surprise.
"OH! The shocking thing is that the girl is a student!" He widens his eyes in disbelief hearing his students going hyper about it, some were nodding their heads while some were sighing, he shakes his head in astonishment.
"Really!?"
Yeong Jae freeze when the gossips from the student hit his ear the more he stands still, he clears his throat from the window catching the attention of the students who flinch dispersing into their own seat.
He walks casually into the glass while all the students stand up greeting his presence and most who were busy gossiping had their head hung low in shame as well as fear- because it was him who they were talking about.
"I know I don't need to give any explanation to anything which are not of my concern." He speaks with his usual cold and arrogant voice and his face showing none of his emotions, some were cursing under their breathing- cursing their luck.
"Those who were involved in unnecessary chitchat... I will make sure to delete your marks in the evaluation, speak now if you want more! " he says earing groans of denial and complaints, he ignores all the yelling from his students and prepares for the class.
He bangs his hands against the table earning a complete silence, "Sir... you can't do that..." One of the students mumbles loud enough for him to hear, "Yeah... it is too much. Don't do that." Another one adds supporting his friend.
"Sir we won't do that again. Last chance." One from the middle row says with a pleading look while he remains unaffected, seeing him so disinterested they again start yelling or more like pleading.
"One more word and you all will get your mark deducted and extra assignments!" And now they all were completely silent with a sulking face and a pout showing how disappointed they are. "If you all are done, let's get this class started." He says gesturing them to open their book.
"Now I know why I don't like him." One of the boys whispers in his seatmate's ear while the other nods his head. "He is so much to be a teacher. I don't want such a cold teacher." The other from behind whispers while all the other classmates exchange a look with a sigh before they get concentrated on him.

It was almost evening when the house gets in distress and walk around in hurry with the presence of two people.
"Ma'am, Sir, Welcome back. " All the maids and butlers in the house bow their head welcoming the couple back after their two-month business tour, "Hmm." The male replies with a subtle nod while he lets the butlers grab his suitcase, the women walk along doing the same.
"Where is Yoo Na?" The woman questions out loud.
"Umm... Ma'am, she is upstairs resting." One of the maids speaks with her head hung low, the woman frowns and a scoff escapes her lips, "Resting? Why does she need to rest?" She says with sarcasm but she shrugs off her shoulder not caring much- as she always did.
"Where is Yoo Na's caretaker? Why isn't she here?" The man speaks with authority looking around while Mi Soo raises her hand from around the crowd, she steps aside from the others and walks forwards with a smile on her face and head hung low.
"Hm, Did she behave well?" The woman questions playing with her nails and looking up at her with a mocking look, she was kind of annoyed with her calling again and again with complaints. They for sure didn't know if Yoo Na made trouble but they sure knew she was never the girl to create trouble.
Because that was what they taught her- to stay within limits. They knew her well and the outsider complaining to them felt like mockery to them.
"Welcome back Ma'am and Sir." Mi Soo says with her fake smile and honey-laced voice making them hiss as it hits their ears. Mi Soo's smiley face turns into an embarrassed one at their reaction and she remains silent waiting for them to speak.
"So? What do you have to say?" She says slowly making her way towards Mi Soo who was slightly trembling, she composed herself just to do what she has thought. "Umm, Ma'am... she talked back to me and pushed me down. I tried to be patient and friendly but she kept causing me trouble. "
Mi Soo smiles victoriously when she doesn't stutter with her words, "PARK YOO NA!!! COME DOWN NOW!!" The woman yells out loud with her voice echoing all over the house causing the other maids to flinch.
"Soo Min-ah, don't get worked up. Seok jin-ah go and bring her down!" The male says wrapping his arms across her shoulder and caressing her sides. Mi Soo smiles smugly with evil thoughts going through her mind, Seokjin runs upstairs with a worried face. He always looked after Yoo as his sister.
Seokjin- he was an orphan whom they adopted to look out for Yoo Na but seeing that Yoo Na was getting along with him pretty well they dismissed him with that job. He always took care of her behind their back.
Everyone remained tensed not daring to look at them while the couple makes themself comfortable on the couch. "Bring me water!" Soo Min yells fanning herself while one of the maids runs to the kitchen.
"Yoo Na-ah, open the door. " Seokjin says softly from across the door and knocking a few times but hearing no reply from her he frowns in concern. "I am opening the door, okay? " he says loud enough and slowly opens the door peeking inside but a smile spreads on his face when he found her sleeping cozily on the bed holding her teddy bear against her chest.
"Cute~" he coos as he walks in but his smiles go away when he recalls her being summoned downstairs.
"My little bear, come on wake up!" he says shaking her out from her sleep, Yoo Na groans slightly peeking through her left eyes, "huh?" She says through her hoarse voice, "They are back and they want you downstairs. " He says with worried eyes while Yoo Na sighs sitting up straight on the bed.
"Brother, Am I in trouble?" She says throwing the cover away but Seokjin found his eyes on her casted ankle. "What happened to you?" He says checking out her leg.
She giggles cutely loving how he always cared for her, "I feel down in school but I am fine. Take me down." She says extending her hands for him to hold. "Did they bully you again?" He says grabbing her hands and supporting her, "No, not today. I came back early because of this." She says again chuckling.
"Yah! Why are you laughing? You are in trouble, you get that? behave properly okay. " he says more like scolds her, he was getting more worried as he approached the stairs, all had their eyes on them as they walked downstairs.
"What happened to you?!" The male yells all of a sudden and stands up, "Chan Ho, honey calm down, okay?" Min Soo says patting his back. He nods his head and sits back, Seokjin brings Yoo Na in front of them and stands beside her still supporting her.
"Are you up for your punishment?" Soo Min says while Yoo Na remained unfazed, Mi Soo was smirking to herself pitying Yoo Na in her mind. Yoo Na just smiles nodding her head.
