My teacher Nah he's my husband novel Chapter 5

As promised, at the start of the week they start off with Math. School ended like an hour ago leaving Mark and his physics teacher in the class. They haven't been there long and Mark is doing better than expected.

He hands Jackson the answered question paper for him to mark. To his surprise, Mark got everything right only after a short guide from him. What Yoongi said was true, he catches up on things fast.

"You won't be needing this if you could only keep your focus in class honestly," Jackson said, looking at the boy in front of him. "One of my weaknesses is to keep my focus on something for a long time and plus, I'm always sleepy so I always dozed off even before school starts."

"Honestly just how many hours do you sleep at night?" He asks with a questioning look. That caught Mark off guard "Well I'm just not a day person, that just how it is."

"I suggest you change that sleeping pattern of yours for the sake of your study and health or you will go faint around like before."

"I admit that I was not feeling well that day but I know how to take care of myself. Now, is there any more math things you want me to do?"

"Nope we are done for today but I got one question for you. Why is it you score your English paper and fail your Korean?"

"Not my fault that Korean is hard." He shrugs.

"Well, we are legit conversing in Korean right now."

"It's basically my mother tongue and I only learned Korean when my family moved here when I was 12 but even so, it doesn't help much because I was surrounded by people conversing in English so I only start to actually use Korean when I entered here but then I still don't use it much so except speaking, I'm still weak in writing and reading." That confused Jackson even more.

"Are you telling me that you're not Korean?"

"Well, I am not. By law, I'm American even though I live here. I'm from LA." Jackson facepalms himself. "No wonder I find your surname is a rarity here."

"Same to you sir. I'm sure the Wang's origin is not from here." Smirk plastered on his face.

"You're right, It's Hong Kong, and wipe that look off your face kid." Jackson squints his eyes at the boy in front of him and that earned him a laugh from that kid. Somehow that laugh sends a weird feeling into his stomach. "Stop laughing and let's go back now, I wanna roll in my bed as soon as possible."

"Yes, Mr. Wang." He replied, making sure to emphasize the name and earning himself a death glare from his teacher. He can't help but laugh at him. Somehow, he found it's fun to tease the man.

"Thank you for today, sir," Mark said as they walk down the hall. "I'm just doing my job no need to thank me."

"You're not gonna fool me with that." He said before taking out a pen and sign on the empty space. "And who gave you the right to sign that, you're not my guardian," Mark said with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't know where did you learn that but here in Korea your class teacher is counted as your guardian. And it's been giving me a bad headache every time I got a call from the police station when your classmates are caught making trouble outside of school. Thank god you're not one of them because your record has been clean ever since you enrolled in this school, I praise you for that."

"Thank you for the assessment but honestly I don't have any intention of joining the field trip." The man in front of him let out a big sigh.

"And can you give me one reason why?" He does have his reason actually. First, he has no friends and secondly, he has worked but he can't possibly tell that to his teacher now right.

"I'm just lazy."

"You ain't giving me that shit Mark Tuan imma drag you along no matter what." Now it is his turn to let a heavy sigh. "You won't give up, aren't you?"

"You know it."
