"THE LOVER"(더 러버)

"WORRIES" part 3

"It was his choice plus I understand that he has to protect his memories and he treasures this place because of you. I don't think he regrets it. He loves the kids and his job" I blurted
I felt embarrased after that.

"I wish you could marry him." she laughed

I felt nauseous

"Please don't say that you are making me sick" I said

There was still one kid on the kindergarten. It was a little brat that always gets in trouble. Zelo I think it's his name. He just want to draw our attention.

"Hey are you still waiting?" I asked

He looked at me surprised but quickly return his gaze to the door

"Oh it's you, Baek" he said

"I told you to call me teacher" I sighed

"If you were a teacher you'll be cool like Chanyeol Hyung, you hate us" he pouted

"Well I have to admit I'm not good with kids but What can I do? It's my job to care about you guys" I said

"Mm... you sound like my mum. She hates me. She is always late and always apologizing for what I do. My dad died when I was born since then she has been taking care of me. Our neighbors say bad things about her and they look at me with pity. In my previous school they did it too. Mum is doing her best" he complained

I never thought a small kid like him could be worried over such a thing

"Your mum sure it's strong. Taking care of everything don't minding what others do and specially caring about a little devil like you. She really is cool" I smiled and patted his head

"B-but she hates me" He sobbed

"If she did she wouldn't take care of you. You say I hate you guys but I'm still here trying to be a good teacher, right?" I said

He cried in my arms and with his little hands grabbed my shirt strongly he was afraid, he was scared to be alone, he just needed someone to listen to him.

After a while his mother came apologizing and they left together.

Chanyeol and I closed the school and went together by bus. It was crowded, I was leaned on the door and Chanyeol infront of me.

He was staring at me. I stared back but it was getting uncomfortable.

"What?" I asked

"You save him. Zelo, is the first time he opened to someone. I guess you aren't so bad after all. But I still think you aren't a good teacher" he glanced at me.

"Tch. I said what was on my mind." I sighed

After a while we got off, and returned home.

"Dinner is ready" he said

"Eh?" I asked surprised

"If you don't want it, ok" He said

"I'll eat it " I hurried

It's the first time he cooks for me because he wants. His food is delicious but I'm not going to admit it
