Chapter 60 Quite Place
"Well, it was quite the discussion," I started, pausing for a moment to build the suspense. "But in the end, I managed to smooth things over."
"Don\'t we need to go to the police? !" she insisted.
"We can do that, but the hassle is not worth it. Do you really want to attend those hearings and all? The impact of blowing this up will affect everyone," I explained to her, weighing the pros and cons. Of course, the only reason I\'m saying this is because I don\'t want the police to get involved.
The events that unfolded were completely unexpected. My original purpose for coming here was merely to complete a mission and perhaps alleviate my boredom with a little fun. However, things took an unforeseen turn, resulting in the chaotic situation I found myself in. It was far from what I had initially planned or anticipated. "You\'re right ….Thank you for helping me back then. My name is Alice, by the way." I looked down at her extended hand, noticing the slight tremble and the hesitance in her eyes. She was clearly trying to overcome some sort of barrier, but her sincerity was evident.
"My name is, Zyn," I said gently, taking her hand in a brief, but firm handshake. "And you don\'t need to thank me. It was my job to protect you as a teacher"
She lowered her gaze momentarily, then looked up, her blue eyes searching mine. "Even so, I\'m thankful. Not many would\'ve intervened like you did."
"Well, it\'s just... seeing someone in distress, especially someone like you, it\'s hard to stand by and do nothing." I gave her a soft smile. "Someone like me?"she raised an eyebrow, curious.
I made a blunder!
"An innocent student who clearly doesn\'t deserve any harm," I clarified. Damn ,I almost messed up by saying something overly cheesy, like those lines you hear in Korean dramas. Alice chuckled softly because of my reply , her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Well, thank you again for stepping in, Mr Zyn. You\'re not like most teachers I\'ve met."
"You\'re welcome," I replied with a nod.
"I\'ll be heading back to class now. Thanks again, Mr. Zyn." she smiled and bowed her head. With that, she turned and headed back towards her classroom, leaving me standing there.
\'Nice save ,\' I couldn\'t help but appreciate the silver lining in all of this chaos. Despite the unexpected turn of events, I somehow managed to leave a good impression on her. It might not be a huge leap forward, but it felt like progress nonetheless. Reflecting on our encounter, I couldn\'t deny that she was different from other girls. Not that I had a lot of experience to compare, but measuring her against her aunt and the other women I had met, she was undoubtedly in a league of her own. Her strong will, principles, attitude , and kindness were like a buffet of attractive qualities. It was as if the universe had thrown together a delightful salad of traits that was impossible to resist.
With my powers, I could practically snap my fingers and have any girl I wanted. It was like having a cheat in a game, I can get any items I want, but I know that it will get boring pretty fast.
But then, I stumbled upon Alice, the one person that had something nobody else could replicate. She was like the elusive ghost of the dating world, and I couldn\'t help but want a taste of that unique sweetness. —

As I walked out of the building, the weight of the day\'s events seemed to slowly lift off my shoulders. I was eager to head home and unwind. Alyssa\'s company sounded like the perfect remedy for the chaos I had just experienced. They might have different personality but she\'s the older version of Alice so I can settle with that.
It was supposed to be the plan, but something caught my eye from a distance. A petite girl with dark hair and purple eyes. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Sun-seng-nim," she called out to me in an intimate manner, using the Korean word for teacher.
I raised an eyebrow at her.
"What are you doing here, Ayumi ?"
Her eyes seemed a little teary as she walked toward me. I couldn\'t help but wonder if her concern was genuine or part of an act. "I\'m just checking if you\'re okay, Sun-seng-nim," she replied.
Her acting skills were impressive, and I couldn\'t help but chuckle. Then an idea came to mind. After all, taking an hour-long train ride just to release some pent-up stress seemed like quite a hassle. "Hey, Ayumi, do you know of a place on this campus where I can be alone? All that drama has me wanting to relax," I asked with a sly grin.
At first, she seemed taken aback by my question, but after a moment of contemplation, a blush colored her cheeks as if she were thinking about something a bit naughty. "There is a place I know," she started, fidgeting and acting all flustered.
"Then take me there," I said with a mischievous smile.
Ayumi blushed slightly after hearing my words. "Um, okay, Sun-seng-nim," she replied, her voice soft and slightly shy. It seemed like she was trying to hide her embarrassment, but her willingness to help was enough to tell that she doesn\'t dislike it.
We walked around the campus, her leading the way with occasional glances in my direction. I couldn\'t help but notice her cheeks turning a faint shade of pink every now and then. It was clear that she was feeling a bit flustered by presence .
As we reached an old building, she gestured toward the entrance with a bashful smile.
"H-here we are, Sun-seng-nim. The rooftop of this building is one of the quieter spots on campus." Her nervousness added an adorable charm to her demeanor.
"I\'m going back to class now,"she muttered in a low voice.
Then she tried to turn away, as if having second thoughts about her plan. But there was no way I was going to let her off the hook after she\'d made me excited . "Don\'t leave yet ," I reached out and gently grabbed her wrist, my voice taking on a more serious tone.
