anonie you really know how to make
me go crazy ACKKSKDJFJFF this could go two ways…

exhibit a: bomi gave me extreeeeme preschool teacher vibes!! all starry eyed like that… softspoken teacher bomi who's soft and round on the edges, hyper at certain moments wherein he cannot contain it. the entire faculty thinks of him as the most awkward one, the geekiest — particularly when it comes to seals. single dad sbn meets bomi for the first time on a ptc, and.. he's just so charming. charming. bomi is charmed. because of this, after their completely professional conversation, he changes the topic. the first thing bomi says? "have you ever seen a crabeater seal? they're really cute." sbn is HORRIBLY endeared, he practically melts. he says no, encourages bomi to say more. they would've both gone on, but bomi had a session with another parent in a few minutes. they exchange numbers, chat eachother consistently for 2 consecutive weeks, and finally go out together. their first date is in the seoul grand park (sbn offers, of course), and they hold hands for the first time while they watch the seals!!!

exhibit b: sbn, one of the youngest professors in the university that bomi goes to. bomi's friends all gush over how handsome prof. choı is, and to be frank? bomi gives zero damns. he's graduating soon, uncaring of what his educator's face may look like. he's studying, working towards his goal. he doesn't need distractions. alas, a distraction comes. the assignment given to them by sbn is strictly in-person submission, and for the first time, bomi really sees his prof's face up close. his friends weren't lying. his eyes flit everywhere, making it obvious that he's /looking/ like that. sbn finds bomi cute, but as a man with morals? he doesn't make a move. bomi tries, and all he gets is a phone number. digits scribbled on a pink sticky-note. it's something, and something is always better than nothing. months pass, and bomi's little crush stays unwavering. a day after his graduation, he shoots sbn a text.
