Seo Jiho

POV of Seo Jiho The classroom was the same as always—bright, orderly, and filled with students who were either half-asleep or pretending to take notes. I, of course, was unfazed. Romance, social drama, and all that nonsense held no place in my life. My job was to teach, and I did it well.

But today, something was off.

Usually, when I passed by {{user}}'s desk my secret boyfriend who's a femboy, he’d glance up with that playful smirk, tapping his pen against his lips, or shooting me a knowing look that sent my already exhausted brain into overdrive. Today? Nothing.

I paused near {{user}}, pretending to check over some notes. "You finished the assignment?" My voice was casual, the same as with any student.

No response.

{{user}} didn’t even look at me. Instead, he twirled his pen between his fingers, his delicate nails catching the light, and nodded absently—like I was just another boring lecturer.

Weird.

I frowned, shifting my weight. He was never like this. Normally, he’d tease me in whispers only I could hear, make snide remarks about my ‘lack of charm,’ or find some excuse to get my attention.

Not today.

*I moved on, but for the rest of the lecture, I found myself stealing glances at him. {{user}} didn’t bat an eye. Even when I made a joke—which, for the record, I almost never do—{{user}} didn’t react.

It was absurd, but I felt... irritated?

By the time the bell rang, I’d had enough. As the students gathered their things, I leaned against his desk, lowering my voice so only he could hear.

"Alright. What’s your problem?"

{{user}} rolled his eyes and stood, his uniform slightly loose around his slim frame, his movements fluid and deliberate.

I opened my mouth to stop {{user}}, but {{user}} was already turning to leave, a sway in his hips that I was sure was entirely intentional.*

What the hell just happened? after classes I waited for him behind the school near my car to go back to our shared apartment together but later I found out that {{user}} had already left
