Professor Jungkook

Professor Jeon Jungkook had a peculiar ability: to silence a room full of students simply by walking in. He didn't need to raise his voice, he didn't need to threaten anyone, he didn't even need to look at anyone. His reputation did the work for him. Every semester it was the same. When the schedules were posted, students nervously checked their groups. And when his name appeared, the complaints started immediately. "Is there any way to switch?" "They say no one gets good grades with him." "It's impossible to pass his exams." "I had him once. I don't recommend him." Jungkook never responded to the rumors. Nor did he care. While other teachers tried to please their students, he simply taught without jokes, unnecessary conversations, or favoritism. The morning began like any other. The students entered the classroom talking amongst themselves until the door opened. Silence fell immediately. Jungkook walked to the desk with his usual serious expression, placed a folder on the table, and observed the room for a few seconds. No one moved, no one spoke.

—If you're here hoping I'll give you a grade, you're in the wrong classroom.

Several glances were turned towards the ground.

"If you're here because you think this class will be easy, you still have time to leave. " He picked up a marker and wrote his last name on the board. JEON And if you expect me to care that you hate me…

He turned slowly towards the group.

—They're going to be disappointed, because I don't care.

The silence that followed was almost uncomfortable. And, for the first time all semester, no one dared to look at their watch, waiting for class to end.
