One of the things that never changes in your relationship, and marriage with Wonpil is how clingy he is around you. There’s never a time when he doesn’t want to be around you, even after so many years together too.
B ⇴ BOYS
You loved the boys almost from the very start of meeting them, and they adored you too. They particularly were thankful for how much you cared for them all whilst you cared for Wonpil too. If you were bringing Wonpil something to eat for example, you’d always make sure to grab more for the others to have too.
C ⇴ COMFORT
His arms are always around you whenever you need comforting, Wonpil will refuse to let you go until he sees you smiling back across at him again. Even if you’re not willing to talk about what’s going on, he’ll still just stay by your side and hold onto you for as long as possible to let you know that you’re not alone.
D ⇴ DOMESTICATED
Most of the time Wonpil will try and help you out with jobs around the house. Although he’s not necessarily the strongest to be able to build many things by himself, he’ll encourage the two of you to do it together, with one of you focusing on reading through the instructions so that it’s done properly, and the other trying to find the pieces in the pile so that you can help one another to build it up.
E ⇴ ENGAGEMENT
Your engagement came as no surprise at all to most of the people around you, having all felt that the two of you were going to stay together forever. They knew that it was only a matter of time, with Wonpil mentioning to quite a few of them too that he had plans to propose to you. The only person who really had no idea what was coming was you, completely stunned when Wonpil got down on one knee.
F ⇴ FAVOURITE THING
Wonpil’s favourite thing about you was having you around and knowing that whenever he needed you, you were right there for him. He loved the simple, basic things of being married to someone, he loved just going home to someone being there and having someone to talk to whenever he needed to too. Even if the two of you were just with one another, Wonpil still loved it because he had some company.
G ⇴ GOING OUT
Most of the time the two of you just enjoyed being at home and with one another. You were quite a private couple, there was no one else’s company that you both enjoyed more than each other’s. As much as you loved your friends, you couldn’t deny that you both preferred just being in the company of your own home.
H ⇴ HONEYMOON
The two of you were keen to try and adventure a little bit on your honeymoon as that was something that your relationship had always missed out on. You couldn’t wait to finally explore somewhere rather than just being able to travel through the place on the back of a bus and explore through a window.
I ⇴ “I LOVE YOU”
He loved to tell you that he loved you more than anything else and make sure that you could hear how much Wonpil meant it in his voice. Although he would do plenty of gestures to show you that he loved you too, none of them felt quite as important to Wonpil as actually being able to say those words aloud to you.
J ⇴ JEALOUSY
The jealous streak in Wonpil certainly calmed down quite a lot after the two of you got married, finding himself reassured by the fact that you had tied the knot with him whenever someone was around you. Although he didn’t mind most people, there were still the odd few people that put Wonpil on edge when he watched them with you, keeping a close eye on them to make sure that they didn’t get to you.
K ⇴ KIDS
Despite the two of you talking about starting a family quite a few times, you still were in no rush after you got married. You both knew that you had plenty of time ahead of you, and with your careers going so well too you didn’t want to add to the pressure of such a busy workload by starting a family too soon.
L ⇴ LAZY DAYS
Quite a lot of the time there was music incorporated somehow into your lazy days together. You would either have an album playing in the background of whatever you were doing to add a bit of noise to keep you both focused, or Wonpil would often grab his keyboard or one of his guitars and lay down beside you and play something, with little plan, playing whatever notes came to mind for him.
M ⇴ MORNINGS
You both were a bit of a nightmare in the mornings with neither of you particularly wanting to get up, no matter how late into the morning it sometimes got for you to rise too. You usually had to encourage each other to get up, especially when one of you was ignoring your alarm which drove the other insane.
N ⇴ NIGHTS
The two of you took a lot of time to relax in the evenings, you enjoyed being surrounded by calm, whether that was by listening to some chill music or watching an episode of one of the dramas that you were in the middle of.
O ⇴ OBSESSION
Wonpil was obsessed with your affection and how loved you always made him feel. You took incredible care of him which he adored about you a lot, especially when you came up to him and gave him a tight hug.
P ⇴ PRECIOUS MOMENTS
Having you in the crowd whenever Wonpil performed was by far one of his favourite moments in your relationship. It always gave him an extra push when he knew that he was watching to make sure that he was perfect, but most of all he loved how proud you looked whenever you saw him up on stage.
Q ⇴ QUESTIONS
Whenever he has a new piece of music in his hands that he’s created, Wonpil will always ask you if you want to be the first person to hear it, wanting to impress you first before trying to show off to anyone else.
R ⇴ RANDOM FACTS
As a part of your wedding surprise, Wonpil wrote the song for the two of you to share your first dance to and composed it with all of the boys. You had no idea what he was up to until the music began to play, recognising his voice straight away as the song started, stunned that he had done something so special.
S ⇴ SILENCE
Neither of you minded silence too much, you just enjoyed being with each other quite a lot of the time without feeling a need to talk to each other. You knew that if you needed the other, you could talk and they’d be there, but neither of you felt the need necessarily to constantly talk between yourselves.
T ⇴ TIPS & TRICKS
Wonpil’s biggest tip for making your marriage work was making sure to support each other. The two of you were each other’s biggest fans and never failed to cheer each other on with everything that you did.
U ⇴ UPSET
He hated seeing you upset, Wonpil would make sure to be there for you and give you as much or as little as you needed from him.
V ⇴ VISITS
You were pretty well known by the staff at the company because you visited Wonpil quite a lot in his studio. They didn’t even need to ask who you were after a while, knowing that there was only one place that you were going.
W ⇴ WISH LIST
There wasn’t anything else that Wonpil felt that he needed to wish for, any additions for him were just bonuses at this point.
X ⇴ XXXX
He loved to try and tease you whenever he kissed you, but out of the two of you Wonpil would usually be the one that ended up getting more flustered and red. He was shy constantly whenever he kissed you.
Y ⇴ YOU
You were his biggest fan, Wonpil knew that even if he had no one else you’d cheer him on.
Z ⇴ ZZZ
The two of you liked to talk for a while before you fell asleep which helped you both settle down. You’d usually only fall asleep once one of you was ready, with things just coming to an end when the conversation stopped.
Ask: Day6 and how their members can tell that they're in love 😍😍
Sungjin:
Your arms were wrapped around his neck, running your fingers over the skin lightly as dinner cooked in the background. Sungjin was waiting for the rice to be done before calling the others to grab food. At first it was your arms wrapping around his waist, clinging onto him and him feigning irritation. Then it was you sliding in front of him as he waited for things to start cooking.
Sungjin’s forehead was pressed to yours as you both talked in hushed tones, nothing special, just about your day while holding eachother. It was intimate but not inappropriate for the kitchen, just a way of filling time. However Wonpil felt he was intruding something as stumbled on this intimate moment. “Oh, sorry.” He apologized, backing out again as you both looked at him with soft smiles. It was just so obvious that you were in love.
Jae/Jaehyung:
His hands clutched yours as you tried balancing on his skateboard. Jae was having an amazing time laughing at you as your legs wobbled. He squeezed your hands, pushing you forward so that you rolled away slightly and you panicked stepping off of the board, making him laugh.
Younghyun was looking for him and could hear your laughter coming from the street in front of the building. He watched from the window as you both joked around and tried skating. And as bad as Younghyun needed Jae for something, he knew Jae was enjoying this time with you and it was very apparent you were enjoying your time with him. After all, you were in love and deserved to have the moments you could with eachother.
YoungK/Younghyun/BRIAN:
Younghyun’s fingers strummed his guitar as he sang, eyes flickering up to you everynow and then. He always felt nerves while playing songs he wrote for you, infront of you for the first time. But as the song went on you could see hin confidence gaining. You were in the studio with him as he practically serenaded you and you hid your face in your hands, trying to hide your blush.
Dowoon was about to bust into the room, but seeing you both through the glass in the door. He stopped and watched for a moment, seeing the way his hyung looked at you and the way you responded to it. It made Dowoon feel shy, like he was peaking in on a private moment and he turned around to walk away. Dowoon wondered what it would be like to be so in love.
Wonpil:
Wonpil’s fingers kept grazing over yours as you sat on the picnic blanket. It was a lovely day out and the members wanted to hangout outside and you were asked along. You and Wonpil were a bit away from the others, his hand now fully holding yours as you talked about random little things. You allowed your head to rest on his shoulder as you looked at the sky and Wonpil kissed your forehead.
The other’s didn’t necessarily focus on you two but they found themselves watching whenever you laughed or said something. Maybe it was the way Wonpil looked at you, or maybe it was the way his smile stretched over his face. It was just a lovely moment between two people in love.
Dowoon:
It was the type of uncontrollable laughter that made anything funny. The type of laughter that had tears streaming down your cheeks and your hand slapping the mattress under you two. It was kind of funny how something so stupid could make you both laugh so much but, Dowoon was the only person you could get this way with.
Sungjing could hear the laughter and couldn’t tell if it was crying or laughing. Like a worried parent he opened Dowoon’s door to see you both laughing. You both just looked so happy, making him soft at the fact Dowoon had someone to laugh with this hard. It was just nice to see love so close by.
finding out they’re in love with you - day6 reaction
JAE: “Wait, what?”
It wouldn’t really register to him that what he had said out loud. He loved you but it hadn’t really occurred to him that he hadn’t said it before because the feelings had been there for a while.
“What has got you so confused?” You asked your boyfriend.
He finally looked at you, “I love you. I love you so much. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to tell you but you mean so much to me.”
SUNGJIN: “I love you.”
He knew he loved you for a while but he hadn’t put the feelings into words and when he did, it felt right. He loved you and he was finally able to tell you, even though his actions always showed you how much he cared for you.
You smiled at him, “I love you too.”
“I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to put the feelings into words, you mean so much to me. I love you.”
YOUNG K: “You mean the world to me.”
It didn’t take him long to know how he felt about you. With a busy schedule and not seeing as much as he would have wanted, he knew the time he spend with you made him happier than anything else in his life.
You pressed a kiss to his lips, “I know. I love you.”
“I love you too, beautiful.”
WONPIL: “Why didn’t I say it sooner?”
He knew he loved you for a long time but never really had the chance to tell you properly due to his busy schedule but once he does, it’s like a weight lifted off his chest and he wouldn’t be able to stop.
“It happens.” You shrug.
“Never again. I’m going to tell you everyday how much I care about you. You mean too much to me. I love you.”
DOWOON: “I.. love you.”
He would known that he loved you for a while but he would be too shy to tell you how he really felt. But when he told you, it would feel like he had been saying it all along and he would gain confidence in saying it more.
“you sleep with the stuffed animal i got you?” you ask wonpil through facetime, as he’s currently halfway across the world. “of course” he mumbles sleepily, the time difference making your daytime his night. you smile to yourself as you watch your boyfriend through the screen, snuggling under a bundle of blankets, holding close the plushie you bought him so he could always have a piece of you with him.
Hi may i request a scenario au of wonpil as a baker please (if thats okay?)
Yes ofc that’s ok! I’ve always seen cafe worker requests but a baker au 👀💗 I’d kill to have a have a bakery full of cute ass workers near my place T^T
Baker AU (Wonpil) Scenario
You had just officially moved into your brand spankin new apartment in New York City! You always dreamed of living on your own and living in the city. The bustling city life has always been drawn to you and now you can finally thrive in it!
The hours of driving and unpacking made you exhausted and you were in dire need of some food. You decided to just head out to the streets and look for a nearby bakery to get some desserts since it would be good start to know more about your area.
You hear the bells chiming as soon as you open the front door to a local bakery called Creme Lapine. The scent of freshly baked bread and the sweet smell of strawberry cream made your mouth start to water.
Besides from all the fruit tarts, cream stuffed goodies, and chocolate eclairs, something else caught your eye. Not something, but someone. You see a worker frosting letters onto a cake, furrowing his sharp brows concentrating on his work, trying to write elegant cursive letters in a ruby red frosting. His cute black bangs slightly covered his deep eyes down setted eyes. His palish pink tongue curving the edge of his lips.
He was very handsome you had to admit, and with his cute apron uniform you were sure that many ladies and gays come by here often. His uniform was a simple white apron with pink ribbon bordering the sides of the apron with a ribbon bow on top, and the adorably bunny mascot on the the top right corner on the uniform was definitely the cherry on top. It even started to look like him the more you took in his features.
Your staring caught his attention as his eyes move from the cake to yours.
“Oh! Sorry I didn’t see you there, what can I get for you today?” breaking spell his devilishly good looks put on you.
You shyly step closer to the counter, “No it’s alright you were looking very contracted on what you were doing. Um, I’ll have a mocha latte and a curry bun with two strawberry macarons please,” you said fiddling your fingers.
Seeing his face close up really started to make your cheeks fluster a cherry hue. The worker was very shy about it, biting his bottom lip, but found it cute nonetheless. He comes to your table and hands you the baked goods, your eyes widen, you couldn’t hold your smile any longer now that the food is all spread out in front of you. He couldn’t help but chuckle to your expression.
“Here’s the latte as well,” giving you a wink and walking back to his counter.
*I wonder what that was for..* you thought. As you lifted the cup to take a sip you saw a little sticky note at the bottom of the cup.
I think you’re pretty cute, and I think you feel the same way about me. You should come here more often! My name is Wonpil btw ;)
You could tell your new city life is just going to get better and better now that you have a baker boy to talk to.
I made the mistake of writing this in the middle of the night cuz now I’m craving curry buns ;-; but anyways I hope you like this my incredible anon! Muah
Summary: A well-needed escape from his stressful life was in order, Wonpil decided to go to the mountains. What he found there was something entirely unexpected and magical.
A/N: Welcome to my fourth story in Frightful October, collaboration with @prettywordsyouleft . This weeks theme: Dark Depths.
Word count: 1,678
He was thankful when his schedule finally allowed some free time, the restraints of his full-time job were starting to wear him down and Wonpil knew he needed to get away and reset himself. Having planned a mountain hike had been on his bucket list for as long as he could remember, so when Brian suggested a certain place Wonpil jumped at the chance.
The fresh air had a distinct quality that couldn’t be replicated as Wonpil began his climb. Taking in a deep breath he closed his eyes, wanting to treasure every moment of being out here in the forest that he could. He wasn’t usually one for such physical activity but being surrounded by buildings, people and the smog, something about being in a clear environment awakened the senses in a way that nothing else could.
Wonpil had been walking for over an hour when he decided to take a break. Walking off from the hiking trail he found a large birch tree to rest upon, pulling his backpack off and diving into its contents for refreshments. Taking out the water bottle he quenched his thirst rapidly before satiating his hunger with the fresh fruits he had packed earlier on in the morning.
“That hit the spot.” He mumbled to himself, rubbing his now full stomach softly as his eyelids drifted closed. “Maybe just a little nap.”
He didn’t want to go off course for too long, yet his body had other ideas, the newfound place under the tree seeming to be the most comfortable of spots.
He wasn’t sure how long he had been asleep for, stirring awake at the faint sound of rustling leaves. He opened his eyes, his gaze drifting towards the sound, yet unable to see where it was truly coming from. The sun was still high in the sky, which he was grateful for. Standing up Wonpil stretched out his limbs high into the sky before shaking his entire body, the leaves that had stuck to him falling to the ground once more.
“Who are you?”
Wonpil jumped in fright, dropping his backpack to the ground as he turned towards the strange voice, narrowing his eyes in confusion when the forest before him was bare.
“What’s going on?” he muttered to himself, subconsciously reaching down to pick up his belongings. “Strange.” Shaking his head he placed the backpack on his back, readying himself for the rest of his journey up the mountain.
Just as he went to step away he was met with a cascade of water to the face, his hands instantly attempting to block the stream, spluttering when some entered his mouth. He paused momentarily when he heard that strange voice again, this time a childish giggle-filled his ears.
“Okay, whoever you are this is not funny!”
Wiping at his face with his sleeves he dried himself off in frustration as he continued to look around for the culprit. Still, he was unable to see a thing, but this time he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up on end. He froze, his eyes growing large as he turned his head slowly to the left.
“Hi.”
“Aaahh!” he screamed, fumbling backward as he landed on the ground, hurriedly scooting away, his eyes never leaving you.
You smiled at his panic, amusement flooded all of your features as you waited for him to stop. It had been so long since anyone had traveled this way into the forest, and it was always your favourite thing to do, to trick the humans. What else were you to do? The animals weren’t nearly as fun to play with.
He had stopped moving, his body now half-hidden behind one of the many large trees within the forest, his apprehension towards you radiating off of him in waves.
“I’m not going to hurt you” your arms crossed along your chest as you slowly walked towards him.
Wonpil’s heart was beating erratically in his chest as he stood there, wanting to flee and yet he didn't want to lose sight of you, whatever you were. He couldn’t believe what his eyes were seeing; he had never seen anything like you before. Were you a woman? Or were you something else entirely? Part of him wanted to know more, he couldn’t lie to himself. You were beautiful. Your pale blue skin shone in the sunlight, little beads of water causing rainbows to form on your skin. Your hair was long and wavy in a deep shade of teal all the way down to your waist, which covered your barely clothed body.
“What are you?” Wonpil swallowed roughly as his curiosity won over, stepping out from the tree and towards you.
“I’m Y/N and you are?”
“Wonpil.”
You smiled victoriously. Humans were always so giving with information, their curious natures always winning out in the end, although he seemed a little more innocent than the last man you had come across. Maybe it was your old age, but the thought crossed your mind to be a little kinder to him.
“Hi, Wonpil. What brings you to this part of the forest?” you asked gently, closing the space between you as you approached him, your hand brushing down the length of his arm. He tensed under your touch, his breath hitched in his throat as your body pressed into him further.
“I needed a break, some time outdoors.”
“Ahh, I see. Has it helped?” you asked playfully, your head now resting against his shoulder, your large eyes looking up into his, batting them innocently. You could feel his heartbeat thumping loudly against your chest, his eyes washing over your voluptuous body before returning to your face, his gaze somehow changed within those few seconds.
“I think so.” He swallowed roughly trying to regain his composure as your hands drifted up to his chest before resting on the sides of his face, your smile wicked.
“The water up here does that. It’s refreshing don’t you think?”
Wonpil couldn’t speak, his mind too lost in thoughts of you as you pulled him closer, the space between you now non-existent as your body pressed into him firmly, he felt every dip of your body against his as he moved his hands to grip your hips, your skin a little colder than he expected. He nodded, a mumble of agreement leaving him as your lips found his.
Instantly he felt a charge course through his body, your lips awakening his senses in a way he never thought possible. His hands gripped at your hips tighter, the hunger for you within himself overriding his other senses as he pushed you closer to the water's edge, your hands running through his brown hair passionately as your tongue found its way to his. You moaned, enjoying yourself at the eagerness that filled Wonpil, you could feel the heat from his body radiating into yours as his lips found their way down your neck and devoured their way to your chest hungrily.
You giggled at the sensation “The water must be working.”
“It’s definitely doing something.” He replied, finally removing his mouth from your skin, his hair in all directions and disheveled as a lazy smile appeared on his face, contentment clear. “What are you? Will you tell me?”
“I don’t know if I should.” You teased, beckoning him to follow you with one finger as you stepped knowingly backward into the cool water, at home once again with the water surrounding you.
Wonpil followed without a second thought, the spell your body and lips had worked on him mesmerising him to no end. He wasn’t even sure why he was willingly following you into the water, not caring that he was still fully clothed, only caring about having you in his arms.
“Please, I need to know what has captured my heart so fully.” He confessed as he finally reached you within the water. Your hands found his face once more, pulling him as close to you as possible, his mirroring his earlier actions and resting on the curve of your hips.
“You are too kind Wonpil and for that, I will tell you.” You smiled gently, your eyes locking with his to read his reaction. “I’m a water nymph. Do you know what that is?”
He shook his head, completely lost within your gaze to fully grasp what you were saying.
“That’s okay. You won’t remember any of this anyway. Close your eyes.” You instructed and he complied almost instantly, his eyes closing in anticipation for what was to come as you stretched up with the help of the water around you, your lips kissing him softly this time as you pulled him deep within and under the waters depths.
Wonpil woke with a start, struggling to breathe as he opened his eyes to complete darkness. His hand fell to his chest, his heart racing within at the sheer panic that coursed through his body, especially as he didn’t know why. Had he really been asleep that long? He scrunched his eyes in confusion when he heard his phone going off and flashing in the darkness brightly.
“Hello?” he croakily answered the phone.
“Where have you been? We’ve been trying you for hours!” he heard Brian’s voice say on the other end.
“I fell asleep on the mountain. I didn’t even make it to the top. I’ll head home now, stop worrying.” He answered his friend’s questions before packing up his belongings dejectedly and shoving them into his backpack.
“How could I have fallen asleep? I swear something happened?” he asked himself as he turned to walk back in the direction to head down the mountain. Shaking his head to clear the confusion it was then he noticed the droplets of water that fell from his hair. “Weird.” He mumbled, ignoring it and continued on his long walk in the darkness.
If he only had turned around, he would have seen the mysterious and beautiful water nymph wading in the pool of water behind him.
Wonpil could only run his fingers through your hair and rub circles on your back while you cried into his arms. So many feelings all being kept pent up inside you were bound to explode and tonight was the night. He didn’t judge you but was instead there for you so you didn’t have to be alone. Placing a soft kiss on your head he squeezed you tighter and prepared to hold you for as long as you needed.

SUNGJIN
Honestly...seeing leader as a teacher for a particular age group is hard
Because I feel like he'll be good with all ages
I can see him being the father-like teacher that admonishes the young ones cutely
But at the same time I can also see him being stern with the older ones
So..............................................
Just for leader............................
I'm not going to specify which age group he's teaching HAHA
Sungjin as a teacher would just generally be the "father" teacher
He’ll scold the kids when he has to
Even though he really does not like doing so
Might accidentally make the young ones cry with his stern lo
But when that happens he immediately softens and pats their hair / offers them a warm hug to soothe them
The little ones will always rummage around his bag for snacks just because his bag is practically BURSTING with them
But removes them from his bag fairly quickly – Sungjin as a teacher is still fiercely protective of his food HAHA (imagine a mother bear picking up her cub by it’s nape – that’s what it looks like when Sungjin removes the kids from his bag)
But ok jokes aside
Sungjin as a teacher is really caring
He might express his emotions very well
But he does care very deeply for his kids
Sends them away on their last day of kindergarten with a smile on his face
But sobs buckets later at home when he reads the cards they give him with their cute handwriting and drawings
Sobs more when he sees them draw him as a bear
Because he cannot decide if it’s cute or tragic that they see him as a bear after all the years of teaching them
Sungjin with the older ones which generally be more stern
Less smiles
Because he’s got an image to keep
The most the kids will see from him is his odd facial expressions when his slides / mic messes up when he lectures
Most are too intimidated to approach him
But for the brave few that do
They are pleasantly surprised
Because it turns out
That prof Sungjin is actually a pretty approachable guy with a wealth of knowledge to share with his students
And eventually this evolves into that sort of relationship where the kids begin to see him as a friend outside of lessons
Which leads to the most ridiculous encounters EVER
For example
‘hey prof’
‘I can’t believe you called me to fix your heater’
‘it’s winter! And the student services centre wasn’t responding’
‘the things I do for you guys’
‘thanks prof!’
Grumbles about coming out on a winter day during term break
But still fixes the heating for his kids nonetheless
But don’t worry
They repay his efforts by treating him to food when school starts again ;)
Overall
Sungjin as a teacher is generally one that does not show affection openly for his kids much
But deep down
They all know that he truly cares for them
Both academically and non-academically
JAE
Tertiary educator
Jae would be that really chill prof that the kids love alot
He’s not going to bother them too much even if they enter lectures a little late – he understands the tertiary education is tough and well, waking up late once in a while is not a sin
Probably not the type to bother them too much even if they doze off in his lectures – as long as they catch up on their own
He accepts it if they have a tardy appearance or are disorganised – he was like that as a student as well
But he will not accept tardiness in the work
Will get an earful from him if they slack off / hand in work late without a valid reason
If a student is constantly missing school
He’s going to check up on them constantly
And follow up with them regularly to make sure they get the help they need and are coping well from there on
Even though he’s a strict teacher
He always reminds his students that their mental health is more important than their studies
Which is why his students feel comfortable going to him for advice when they’re troubled with anything
And when I say anything
I really mean anything
From anxieties about their studies
To relationship problems
Jae listens to them all
And adjusts his response accordingly
If he has to be firm to snap his students out of their own self-deprecating mindset
He will
But for those that can’t handle his toughness
He will opt for being gentler with them
But no matter what
He will stick with his kids till the end and see them become a better version of themselves
Jae takes mental health very very very seriously
And his students appreciate him very much for that
Because he feels like one of the very few teachers that care about them
For who they are
Beyond their grades
But serious stuff aside
Jae is a fun teacher
Always bringing props to class to demonstrate a concept
Working in videos into his lectures to make sure the lecture is less boring
Probably the type of prof to bring in a soft toy and tosses the soft toy to a student when he wants them to answer a question
Tries to work in field trips when he can
But he’s not just all fun and games
He’s definitely very willing to stay back after lessons to help students work out the knots in their head
The only time students get scared of Jae:
When he debates too fiercely with them on model UN
Sorry
It’s in his blood
He loves arguing for a living
He will argue at every chance he gets
Even against his students
But other than that
He’s a very chill teacher
To sum it up
Teacher Jae is very much like Teacher Sungjin
Not much emotions in class
But outside of class
He will do anything for his students
He will stick by them
Until they become better and believe in themselves
YOUNG K
Secondary school teacher
Honestly Brian as a teacher is the easiest to write for so here goes!
Young K as a teacher would be so well-loved by everyone
but not because he's overly lenient / overly nice to them
He's well-loved for the right reasons
As a teacher he's the right mix of tough and soft
At this awkward of age learning to be a teenager, most kids will have a hard time adjusting to new bodily and emotional changes and I feel like Brian as a teacher would be really helpful with easing students into being an teenager
For this bunch of awkward teenagers still trying to find their identity, his honest advice would be really helpful in getting them to understand themselves and the world that they're still trying to figure.
He'll also be really attentive to those that get left out, always remembering to include them in class discussions by for example, calling them to answer questions. Similar to how he'll always laugh at Wonpil's jokes even when others are not paying attention.
He'll also be really good for this age group because he's very aware of the feelings of his students, which helps at this stage when some of them might still be sensitive.
When a student makes a joke that might potentially hurt another, he knows how to rein in the former without hurting them as well, thus saving both groups of students from potentially being hurt emotionally.
he also has enough child-like wonder in him to keep up with the enthusiasm of some boisterous students
As teenagers, they'll still get easily excited about things and Brian would help to fuel that excitement / passion by participating in their activities.
For example, if they ask him to act silly with them for class performances, Brian would surely join in and be willing to be as silly as he can possibly be with them. (Cue Old K outfit from Youth Encore concert)
Overall, Brian's personality is so versatile which is perfectly suited for the wide range of personalities he'll meet in teenagers
It really helps him connect with all of them
And this emotional connection in their formative years will make him a very memorable and well-loved teacher for years to come
WONPIL
Definitely a kindergarten teacher
There is no doubt on this
Nope
No one can change my mind on this
Not one bit
Wonpil just has so much child-like energy in him he is the PERFECT fit for being a kindergarten teacher
When the kids show him something they made / drew, he'll have the ability to match their level of excitement and make the children feel so loved and validated for their efforts
Which i feel is extremely important since kids began forming impressions at this stage and Being ignored might lead them to gradually close off / lose their passion for their interests
Wonpil will be that beacon that keeps the flame of passion burning bright in their little bodies
Always asking them what each item they drew is
Why they chose to write this poem on this particular subject
But this also means he’s prone to burn out at the end of the day because he does his best to give his utmost attention to each child
But no worries
Come a new day
When they greet him with a enthusiastic greeting early in the morning after their parents drop them off
Gone is his fatigue and all that’s left is a warm fuzzy feeling in him and a wide smile on his face
Might occasionally lose a kid when out on field trips because there’s just so many of them and only one him
But no worries
Turns out the kids are just playing hide and seek with him and they eventually come out of hiding
Finally feels like he can breathe again when he sees them
Carries the little rascal in his arms for the rest of the field trip
Until everyone else clamours to be carried by Teacher Wonpil
That’s when all hell breaks loose
But thankfully
He’s got a good team of teachers to help him rein in the little ones
Also the type to stay back in the centre till late at night until the parent of the last child comes by to pick their child after working overtime
Never complains though
Just sends a smile their way and reminds them to rest early before cleaning and locking up
Also the type to look out for any kids that might have trouble interacting with the rest of them
Coaxes them out from their corner using every method possible
Magic, acting silly – you name it, he’s done it
Really gives his whole soul and body into making sure every kid under him feels loved and included
When they cry
He holds them close and pats their back until they’ve stopped crying / they’ve fallen asleep
During naptime
Tucks each child in so carefully that other teachers try so hard not to shed a tear watching how much care and love he gives each kid
Cries every Teacher’s Day when his kids shower him with so much love and presents
By the end of the day
His eyes are puffy and red from all the crying done
Meanwhile his hands are full with all the presents he’s gotten over the course of the day he struggles to even wave to say goodbye to his kids
All in all
Kids love him
Parents adore him to bits
The other teachers consider him the real gem on the team
Wins ‘Best Teacher’ award every year
But the other teachers aren’t even jealous
Because they all know he truly deserves it
DOWOON
Drum teacher
Sorry but I can’t see this cute fluffball as an educator in a formal setting
As a drum teacher
Dowoon is chill
Like super chill
Has a lesson plan
But does not follow it strictly
He teaches his kids the basics
But lets them free later
They can play whatever song they want
But the moment they start singing along and lyrics contain profanities
His eyes get wide
His ears get all red
And he immediately turns down the music before telling them that they can’t sing that song
Sweats bullets for the rest of the lesson
With the young ones
He’s very patient
Teaches them step by step until they get it right
If they need more help
He’s willing to give them extra lessons
At no extra charge
As long as the student truly wants to learn
He will put in the same effort to help them excel
For those that are slightly better
He challenges them with tougher pieces
The tempo is faster
There is more variation in the beats
By the end
This kid is probably sweating buckets and completely tired
But when Dowoon extends the bottle of water to them before shooting them a thumbs up
They are ready for round 2
Very accepting of students of all abilities
He makes it a point to include every single student at the annual drum concert
And when I say every single one
I really mean every single one
No one gets left behind under Teacher Dowoon
He might seem forgetful
But Teacher Dowoon actually has a great memory
He prepares small gifts and cards for each student during their birthday
Often times it is an encouraging message appreciating the student for their efforts
Which motivates his kids to continue to work harder
Even years after they’ve graduated from his drum academy
They still thank him in their award winning speeches
And sends their kids to be taught by him
Just like how Dowoon is loved by the entire universe
His students love Teacher Dowoon in the same way
And he truly asks for nothing more
Then for his students to be happy doing what they love and to grow up being a good person
