Hi ^^

Could I request a jungwon fluff, where he is a kinda shy and smart classmate from reader, who has a crush on him. (Reader is very social, has lots of friends, but still feels shy around jungwon but wants to Get to know him better) :)

Jungwon.

From the day he stepped foot into your school, you’d already started annotating a mental log of all his characteristics, interests, and other miscellaneous details.

So far, you had gathered just a few things about him.

Above all, he was an introvert with looks that both intimidated and captivated his fellow peers.

Contrastingly, you were more extroverted in school, though, Jungwon turned out to be one of the first people you ever struggled to approach properly.

He was cute, talented, and already making a name for himself in various subjects and extra curricular activities.

The only thing lacking from his seemingly seamless academic experience was a good friend, and you planned to be just the person who'd change that.

You called today “Day 14,” which marked Jungwon’s official first 2 weeks on campus.

One way you kept your social circle so big was by approaching everyone on your 14th day of knowing their existence, not any sooner or later than this.

You’re not sure how you came up with this method, but it proved to be successful nonetheless.

Every student here was in favor of you, their precious social butterfly, flitting in from group to group with a contagious vibrancy.

Your peers looked up to your confidence and near-perfect people skills, and by now, they were all anticipating the moment you’d approach the mysterious Yang Jungwon, earning his companionship before the day was out.

The classroom hummed with its usual energy—the clattering of chairs beneath desks, the rustling of thick textbooks against each other, and the occasional bursts of laughter followed by whispered jokes filling the space.

In the midst of it all, you sat quietly in your seat, gaze drifting toward the back row where Jungwon was... the boy whom for whatever reason decided to sit in the back of the classroom…. the quiet genius existing in his own little world.

He had a way of making your confidence falter, and though part of you wasn’t fond of it, it somehow attracted you to him even more. His shy smile, the way his eyebrows furrowed whenever he worked out difficult equations, or his habit of adjusting his glasses with a little sniffle—it all intrigued you.

As your interest in him soon developed into a crush, you made it your mission to befriend the boy who hid behind his textbooks, and who rarely spoke yet achieved high in all his accolades.

The bell finally rang for lunch, a cue for you to gather your courage before making your move in the cafeteria.

As expected, you found Jungwon sitting alone, your heart practically doing somersaults in your chest as you approached him.

“Hi,” you greeted with a surprisingly steady voice, “mind if I sit here?”

Jungwon looked up at you through his glasses, eyes wide in shock that you had even asked him that. “Uh… sure,” he stammered, shifting his books and lunch tray to make room for you.

At first, you two sat in companionable silence, the cafeteria noise fading into the background as you studied the stack of textbooks he sporadically flipped through while alternating between taking a bite of his sandwich.

“I hate to be cliché,” you began, “but what’s your favorite academic subject?”

Jungwon’s sentence-highlighting hand paused at the paper as he blinked in thought.

New mental note unlocked: Jungwon has the prettiest hands you’ve ever seen—

“Math,” he replied, interrupting your enamored thoughts, “I enjoy solving problems. It’s like... unraveling a mystery, I guess…”

“You’re a mystery yourself,” you teased with a smile, tilting your head at him. “Always so quiet… keeping to yourself even though everyone’s dying to know more about you… You’ve got this whole enigma thing going on...”

A glint of playfulness sparkled behind his shiny specs, your heart fluttering at his now blushing face. “I guess I’m just not great at small talk,” he admitted timidly. “But… I do like observing,” he went on, closing his books now that a conversation had started.

Operation Day 14 was off to a fantastic start.

“Observing what?” You repeated, leaning in closer.

“People,” he answered plainly, “Their characteristics, interests, other miscellaneous details... It’s fascinating.”

And incredibly familiar, you thought to yourself.

Just that easily, you felt a connection with Jungwon start to blossom.

“May I ask what you’ve observed about me then?” You challenged, the two of you now holding an intense eye contact.

“Hmm,” he hummed in thought, deciding on one thing to say instead of rambling, “I’ve noticed you’re intimidated by new things but nonetheless open to exploring…”

“Explain that for me, please…”

He took another bite of his sandwich before speaking, “Well, you’re an extrovert who’s comfortable with what she knows best, and that’s socializing. It’s what motivates you to succeed in class, sit with the quiet new kid at lunch, and so on…”

You chuckled out loud, watching his lips curve into a smirk at the sound of your laughter.

“That’s why,” he continued cautiously once you finished laughing, “approaching someone like me… someone quiet… different… it was harder for you.”

“Woah,” you exclaimed under your breath, thinking of how well he read you just as easily as he'd read any other book in his field of vision.

“And you’re certain math is your favorite subject and not psychology?”

Now it was his turn to chuckle, a shy hand covering his mouth as his eyes stretched into pretty crescents.

“I uh,” he stammered, still getting over the giggle in his chest, “I like to be challenged when it comes to subjects… I often ask myself why favor something you’re already good at?”

You nodded at his words before continuing, “Sooo… you’re bad at math?”

“Terrible, actually,” he admitted, a smile still faint on his features.

“We should study together then,” you obliged, voice returning to its usually enthusiastic octave, “I’m not a math wiz myself, but I’m sure our two minds together can think it through!”

His gaze fell to the tabletop, reaching out a hand to move your lunch tray closer to you as you’ve been avoiding it this whole time.

“Eat well, first… and then, I'll ask our math professor if we can maybe hang back to study in the classroom instead of attending the bake sale this evening.”

Smiling softly at his thoughtfulness, you opened your container of fruit and started to take a few bites, appreciating in your heart his efforts in arranging this little study sesh between you two.

“Sounds like a plan,” you nodded cheerfully, looking forward to ‘this evening’ with Jungwon later...

◍ ◍ ◍

Finally.

The math lecture came to an end, as a few of your friends waved you off as they went to join everyone else at the bake sale.

“I'll save you a cupcake, okay? Good luck studying!” One of your closest friends called out to you while waving goodbye, her pixie cut framing her radiant smile perfectly.

“Awww, thanks Nini! Have fun at the bake sale,” you returned warmly, watching her frame disappear with the cluster of other students bustling out of the classroom.

All except for you and Jungwon, who were given permission to stay back for an extra two hours to study the material.

“Thank you, Mr. Ha,” Jungwon bowed graciously, just as the professor locked the door behind himself, leaving you two alone to study.

You helped by pushing two desks in front of each other to create a little table for you and Jungwon to study on.

Both of you had been studying for just over 1 and a half hours before you became absolutely sick of looking at functions.

“Okay, if I mix up the input and output in these equations one more time, I think I'm gonna snap every pencil in this classroom,” Jungwon sighed, leaning back in his seat to stretch his aching back.

“Same,” you huffed similarly, eyes not being able to stop themselves from staring at him, the golden hue of sunshine that spilled from the windows painting his skin a heavenly shade. “That was a pretty aggressive statement coming from a shy guy like you, though....”

“Shy, huh?” He repeated, quirking a brow at you, “y'just think you’ve got me all figured out...”

“I could say the same thing to you about me,” you clapped back.

“Sure,” he agreed nonchalantly, “but it’s a well known fact that talkative people are always easier to read…”

You shrugged at his words. “Fine then. Tell me. What secret is the mysterious Yang Jungwon hiding about himself from everyone?”

“Well,” he started, now sitting back up as he leaned over the desk, forcing proximity, “that’s not something I can tell you in one day, but for starters, I am anything but shy.”

“Please,” you scoffed with amusement, “as if you weren’t a blushing mess the entire time we talked in the cafeteria earlier.”

“You say that like you weren't blushing, too, though?”

“Because I wasn't... it was just the makeup making me look that way,” you corrected, trying your best to seem serious even though the grin on your face said otherwise.

“Really now?” Jungwon asked with feigned surprise, “And here I was thinking you were naturally pretty...”

“Wow, you're hilarious,” you announced sarcastically, giving him a sassy look.

“Does that surprise you?” He pondered, voice falling a tone or so deeper as his eyes keened in on your face.

“No, actually… not even a little but,” you lied, just before your stomach fluttered at the playful smirk that grew on his face.

He thought on your words for a moment, watching as you started to put away your stationary before his voice stopped you in your tracks, “I bet by the end of the day, I’ll do or say something that surprises the hell out of you.”

Humming at his words, you continued to put away all your supplies, “Go for it, then… your confidence is applaudable, but I seriously doubt you'll win this little bet of yours...”

All he did was smile in response, his face reading an inaudible "We'll see" as silence soon followed his daring announcement.

Neither of you were ready to leave the classroom just yet, especially not with how much fun you were having talking so far.

That's when you both noticed how quiet the school had become with most of everyone being outside to enjoy the baked goods.

“Do you like anyone here at school?” Jungwon asked abruptly, scattering your inner thoughts back into the clouds.

“You mean like... in a romantic way, right?” You asked, only for him to give you a non-verbal cue by nodding his head.

“Well,” you started, dragging out the syllable as you got ready to tease him, “he’s around our age so you might know him, but his name is Leehan.”

You smirked to yourself at the way Jungwon's face looked now, avoiding eye contact for what felt like 10 whole seconds before looking back up at you. “Never heard of him,” he lied, and you could see right through his adorable poker face.

“What about you then?” You returned curiously, “anyone special that catches your eye here?”

“Yeah,” he responded almost instantly, “her name's Hanni... Hanni Pham.”

You felt your face drop at his words, “Jungwon, that’s my best friend—”

“Yeah, and I could tell,” his voice trailed off cheekily, watching as you got up from your seat, approaching the door with haste.

“And where d'you think you're going?” Jungwon asked, not even turning to look your way until he heard you struggling with the doorknob.

“I'm... ugh... I-I'm trying to... shit, why won't this stupid door open?”

“Okay, relax before you break something,” Jungwon warned, getting up from his seat to join you where you stood, “let me see...”

Click, click.

The doorknob twist and turned with his movements, but to no avail: you two were officially stuck in the math room together.

“You have got to be kidding me,” you sighed annoyedly, the reality of your situation setting in quickly.

“If you're in a hurry, wanna try escaping out the window?” He tried hopefully.

“Nah, the fall would be too risky,” you replied, now standing with your hands on your hips.

“Hmm. Maybe we should check Mr. Ha’s desk drawers for spare key?”

Without hesitation, Jungwon slid past you, opening drawer after drawer in his brief search, only to find nothing.

“They probably forgot we’re even in here by now,” you sulked, walking over to take a seat on Mr. Ha's desk, your arms bracing your exhausted weight behind you.

Sure, studying was tough, but the possibility of being locked in this classroom for longer than anticipated was even more tiring.

“Well… we could always go over our notes again in the meantime?” The feline eyed boy offered optimistically, voice trailing off as the sound of footsteps thrummed outside the classroom.

“Wait, I think someone’s coming—”

Before you could even finish your sentence, Jungwon removed his glasses and took your chin in his hand, guiding your gaze towards him before sealing the space between you two with a kiss.

Your eyes widened at his action, especially once you felt his free hand rest on your thigh with no intention on stopping just yet.

So you gave in, letting your eyes flutter shut as you tilted your head into the contact, the gentleness of his hands being enough to make your heart melt into this shy collision of lips.

That’s when you heard Leehan's voice, coupled with the sound of Hanni and your math professor mumbling at the door before it slung open.

“Are you guys oka- oh, you’re more than okay,” Mr. Ha stammered, turning his head at the sight of you and Jungwon making out on his desk.

Jungwon tore away from your lips with an almost embarrassingly wet smack, shyly meeting the eyes of the three people now taking in the view of this steamy scene.

“Mr. Ha, we're so sorry for—”

“First kiss with the new kid, huh? Atta girl, ____!” Hanni interrupted with an enthusiastic cheer, “Maybe I should've brought two cupcakes, hehe...”

Meanwhile, Leehan stood in utter shock at the sight before his eyes, a pink hue flushing his cheeks as he struggled to find the right words. “I uh… I think I’m just gonna go now,” he stuttered, slipping past Hanni and your instructor before leaving.

“Fantastic then. Hopefully you two had fun studying in here because it'll never happen again,” Mr. Ha clarified, thankful that you were finally off of his desk and making your way down the hall with the rest of your belongings, Hanni, and Jungwon walking beside you.

“So,” Jungwon started shamelessly, “same place tomorrow?”

“Definitely not… but I think you've at least earned a repeat at the library,” you smiled, Hanni not-so-discreetly eavesdropping as you two spoke.

“Earned it? How?” Jungwon asked, readjusting in glasses over his nose with a familiar sniffle.

“By surprising me,” you answered plainly, giving his shoulder a playful nudge. “And you're a really good kisser, by the way...”

And there it was... that same pretty pink blush that rose to his cheeks whenever you flattered him.

You liked this Jungwon... the shy one with little to say and lots to share... all sticky notes and math equations...

But... you also liked the other side of him... the side that no one else got to see... all love letters and stolen kisses.

◍ ◍ ◍

Fin.

I hope you guys enjoyed reading this lil piece here! Writing it made me realize that everything I've written for Jungwon has been only smut ;-; so it was really nice coming up with something more fluffy about him this time! And as always, feel free to request more stories like this anytime! Lots of love ~ ◍

With tourist visas for berry pickers suspended, the government is looking into alternative paths for foreign workers. On Monday, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment released a report assessing the economic impact of other employment options, according to Ilta Sanomat.

The report was based on a study conducted by Pellervo Economic Research PTT and the University of Vaasa.

The first option considered was employing berry pickers under a fixed-term contract. While this would provide them minimum wage protection and employment benefits, it wouldn't entirely prevent potential exploitation or debt in the workers' home countries.

The report stated that contractual employment would increase costs for berry companies, potentially forcing some to change their operations or exit the market altogether. This could lead to higher prices for domestic berries.

Another option was self-employment, but it wasn't deemed realistic due to language barriers, and the expense and impracticality involved in registering businesses in Finland.

"It's clear that neither solution alone would end exploitation. Both industry-led responsibility efforts and pre- and post-monitoring by authorities are needed," the final report stated.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment's working group also suggested a third option: adding the harvesting of natural products to the seasonal work regulations and creating an entry pathway for entrepreneur-pickers by defining berry laws.

The government is planning to announce proposals for new rules, and the changes are intended to take effect in the harvest season of 2025.

Tax headaches

Getting an inheritance in Finland could mean taking out a loan to cover the taxes, reports Talouselämä, citing a survey by insurance firm LähiTapiola.

The survey, which polled some 1,000 people, found that 46 percent of respondents had never received an inheritance over the inheritance tax threshold of 20,000 euros and did not expect to receive one.

Some 26 percent had received such an inheritance and 24 percent said they expect to receive one.

Of those who had received or expected to receive taxable inheritances, one in ten said they had to or expected to borrow money to pay the tax bill.

While most of those receiving an inheritance sell inherited assets to pay taxes, this is not always possible. Situations can become tricky when a surviving spouse remains in the family home, but the kids inherit a share of that house, triggering taxes.

"If one of the parents dies and the only inheritable property is the parents' shared home, the adult child has to pay inheritance taxes but may not have the funds to do so. The apartment cannot be sold without the widow's permission, and the situation can continue like this for years or even decades," Veera Lammi of LähiTapiola explained.

While recent reforms mean that inheritance taxes now don't go into enforcement for ten years, up from two years previously, unpaid taxes do accumulate late payment interest of 7.5 percent.

The insurance firm recommends those who accumulate wealth and want their children to inherit should ensure some liquidity is part of their estate, by holding some of their property in easily-sold assets.

That makes things much easier for those who inherit.

Dumbed-down textbooks

Helsingin Sanomat explores slimmed-down Finnish elementary school textbooks.

A 30-year-old elementary teacher compared his old fifth-grade books to those in circulation now. His findings were less than flattering.

"Less text and fewer words. Fewer and simpler assignments. Fewer calculations. The classics have been omitted from current textbooks," HS writes

The fifth-grade teacher told HS that he was astonished by how much expectations have come down in less than twenty years.

The number of math problems in Milli 5, the current 5th-grade math book, is two-thirds of the math book back in the early 2000s. Verbal math problems are also simpler now, according to the teacher.

When it comes to science, the passages are now shorter. In comparing units on the same subject, he found the current book explains the topic in 260 words, whereas the old one used more than 400 to cover it.

"Children nowadays are exposed radically less reading than during my school days," he told HS, adding that books today are more engaging and visually appealing than their predecessors.

What motivated you to study social sciences?🙈

I was always sure I would go for mathematics, physics or any other scientific subject and pursue a career as a teacher, researcher or an engineer. But then I got to 9th grade i realised how much I liked civics but somehow I didn’t pay much attention to that and chose advanced math and physics in high school.

After a few civics courses in hs I decided to take some more courses in it and decided to take a final exam in it too! In my last year of high school I decided that I wouldn’t actually want a career in any scientific field so I dropped physics after 6 courses and my teacher was so sad about as I was one of the top students in our grade :’)

Spring 2018 I had huge troubles choosing whether I’d put social sciences or law first on my application and contrary to popular belief I ended up choosing the first one and didn’t even put law as an alternative. I love social science and political science is the one I enjoy the most and will major in BUT a part of me is wondering if I should try to re-apply for law this spring! After a few classes in jurisprudence I’ve noticed how much I enjoy it too!

But the reasons I chose social sciences is because I’ve always, even though subconsciously, been interested in the society and the complexity of governments and governance(that is why political science is my fave). It is field that gives you plenty of career options, all from being a researcher to a expert in governments and parliaments and even international organisations! It’s such a broad field and everyone can find a path that suits themselves, and that is also one of the reasons why I got interested in studying it!

And this is a field that gives you a broader understanding of your surroundings but there aren’t any right explanations so you’ll never be bored because things are constantly changing and new theories and explanations will arise and the researchers are discovering new fields to research in! I’m e.g. about to analyse a qualitative study where the researcher has conducted a research on young women's perspectives on public health knowledge and adolescent bodies!

And you’ll get to meet a lot of different people with different personalities and perspectives on life and I have actually learned so many things about the world just in 5 months!

#thank you for the ask!#a great way to procrastinate lol #anonymous

I am Freaking out Because I Can Not Look For A Roommate!

New Post has been published on https://baongoaihoi.com/i-am-freaking-out-because-i-can-not-look-for-a-26/

I am Freaking out Because I Can Not Look For A Roommate!

I will be just starting to freak out. I must submit an application for housing soon and I do not have roomie yet. I asked a buddy from senior school if she wants to space with me at college but she said no because she’s residing regarding the honors flooring. However attempted to find some people via best place to buy an term paper an group that is online they all dropped through. Exactly what do I do if I don’t find one?

It’s difficult for ‘The Dean’ answer this concern because you’ve left out some key information. Have you been about to be considered a freshman? (we’m inferring yes.) Would you plan to survive campus (yes once again, I think).

If i have guessed correctly regarding the situation, however’m additionally guessing that the college or university provides a ‘Random’ option that enables students to join up for a dormitory room without having chosen a roomie, then the housing workplace will assign one. Does your school offer this arrangement? In that case, it’s not as frightening as it may appear.

Numerous pupils who choose this method are only because happy using their results as those who opted to reside having a senior high school friend or whom found a roommate through Facebook or via another group that is online. If you’re ready to take ‘pot luck,’ call the housing office to inquire of exactly how this works at your school. You may even be able to submit a questionnaire which will help the housing folks match you with someone who shares your preferences on such problems as cigarette smoking, bedtime or partying. If your university doesn’t offer the official ‘Random’ protocol, it’s most likely that the housing workplace maintains a list of names of other pupils who, like you, remain unpaired as well as on the hunt for a roomie.

If you fail to take the Random path at your university and in case the housing office refuses to assist you, compose straight back, and I’ll suggest other avenues to explore. But as freaked out as you may feel, you ought to simply take solace in realizing that we now have probably dozens (and even hundreds) of other people in your shoes, along with your college officials is going to be in a position to assist you to all to fix this puzzle quickly.

6 HS Seniors on What They want They’d Known About the Admissions Process

The college admissions process can be daunting at times, but you can relieve the worries by learning from those that went before you. University Confidential chatted to six graduating seniors and asked whatever they wish they would done differently through the process. Check out their advice below.

Never Compare Your Self to Other People

Don’t get overrun whenever you hear the stats of other pupils in your school there is a complete much more to your admissions tale compared to the figures plus, you will find those who lie about their figures! I recall getting really stressed hearing about children whom stated they got 34 and 35 through the ACT junior year, and then I later discovered those kids really got more like a 28. I do not understand why everything is so competitive, but understand that not everybody is telling the reality, that makes it more confusing. Allison Midland, Ohio.

Have Quality Rec Letter Alternatives

I wish We’d established closer relationships with additional teachers. I knew several teachers pretty well, nevertheless when it came time and energy to request recommendation letters, it might have already been good to have experienced a lot more options so instructors could actually speak about me personally in an even more way that is detailed. The main one instructor I knew the greatest that would absolutely have written a solid page for me personally finished up venturing out on sick leave before I had a chance to ask her for the letter, after which I was kept with a few instructors from extracurriculars who knew me personally well as well as others who did not know me well at all from core classes. J.T. – Michigan.

Focus on What Sets You Apart

I invested a great deal time during junior year consumed with stress about what everyone ended up being doing me to sound like everyone else that I ended up writing a generic essay that allowed. We thought plenty of my classmates had been the right U Maryland applicants in my essay, but I don’t think it allowed me to show my individuality that I tried to sound more like them. That I was enough like everyone else to warrant my acceptance if I had it to do over again, I would write the essay highlighting how my experiences were shaped by my differences rather than trying to convince the school. T. Cromwell, Maryland.

Prepare Everything Early

I understand everybody already says this all the full time, but If only We’d paid attention to the advice to begin then process early like summer time before senior early year. If We’d started sooner, I would personally not have made mistakes in my own essay, and my letters that are rec have been turned in on time. The due dates arrived up on me faster than I expected and I sort of tossed my applications together. I wish We’d had the time and energy to have made them perfect. John Tanner, Florida.

Never Assume State Schools Are Going To Be Cheaper

My parents told me we could only pay for prices that are in-state. We put on just schools that are in-state will be attending one. However a man I know whose stats had been a comparable as mine got sufficient merit money at a private university out of declare that it wound up being cheaper than the state school i’m going to be going to. I would personally much rather have kept their state and wish I’d investigated some personal college choices where I may have gotten money. Erin F., Sc.

Understand the Prerequisites

Nearly every school has particular classes they want you to consume high school just before attend their university. I didn’t do sufficient research on what those had been before applying. My stats lined up well utilizing the stats that accepted students at my goal university had. But I only took three mathematics classes in senior school and also this college necessary that all applicants simply take four. If I’d known that, I possibly could have taken another but We applied with three maths and got rejected. C.F., Ca.
