Regalis Academy was a prominent school, and Jaewook had a prominent background to match. Years spent in the coordinating world, especially since he had started out young and impressionable, had molded him into a refined individual. The habits of other coordinators grooming their Pokemon had spread to Jaewook, and soon after his sudden rise to fame had led to the grooming of his own outer appearance. His inner self had grown refined through training for interviews, giving vague responses to shroud his private life, which most people seemed to consider intriguing. He quickly became a tall, dark, and handsome figure to most, but the truth was that he just didn't know what else to say, so he said the words that were fed to him.
His office was the one place Jaewook found solace in, besides his own room now in the faculty dorms, a place that he had made his own in the little time he had been teaching at Regalis. Today was a tiring day in particular, a day of long classes with students who didn't seem to want to learn more that usual, and he was tired out. Bao, the ever playful Skitty, weaved herself between his legs as he opened the door to his office, determined to set his papers and just rest until he had his private tutoring session with a student. His Skitty immediately flew into the room, running around the room as she usually did while Jaewook wearily sat himself into his plush chair.
Closing his eyes as he leaned his head back, he would have fell asleep if it weren't for that sound. Moving his hand to his stomach, he opened his eyes slowly, it hadn't been him, he had only eaten a bit before. "Bao?" he questioned, sitting up in his chair as he gazed at the Skitty who was rolling on her back on the floor near the door. "I just gave you a Poffin five minutes ago," he chided, drawing open his desk drawer and pulling out a pink Pokeblock, and calling out to the pink Pokemon. She scampered towards him, her tail wagging wildly at the anticipated treat, and he tossed it in the air, prompting her to stand up on her hind legs to catch the candy in her mouth. "Good girl," he murmured, as she fell back, continuing her little game of rolling on the floor as Jaewook leaned back again.
The small insistent noises of her playing continued as he tried to catch just a moment of sleep, until he finally couldn't take her mewling anymore. As he sat up, feeling more than a tiny bit cranky, he found his closet door ajar, and Bao in it, something she did often. The playful Pokemon had a liking for pawing at the closet door until it fell slightly ajar, and then nudged it open, taking the nuisance of struggling to climb in with her tiny paws, and Jaewook would have dismissed it, simply too tired to bother with his youngest's naughty habits if it had not been for the boy Bao was now attempting to climb on.
For an odd few minutes, Jaewook simply stared at the figure, remaining absolutely still as Bao continued to explore the ledges of the human body in the closet, that Jaewook was very glad to find was living. Actually, even if it had been dead, he didn't know which was worse. Or stranger. Taking in a deep breath, he sank back into his chair, covering his face with his hands to process what exactly he had just seen. "My test answers are in my briefcase," he said wearily, his mind too scrambled to think of any other reason why the hell that boy would be in his closet. Was he even in Jaewook's class? He certainly didn't remember seeing him, but he did seem vaguely familiar.
