The chemistry teacher Mr. Tang, or "Old Tang" as the students privately referred to him, was one of the few Chinese teachers at Midtown High. However, his background didn't grant him any leniency toward his fellow Chinese students. If anything, it made him stricter with them.

His rigid demeanor and penchant for picking on minor infractions often left the students walking on eggshells around him.

For the Chinese students, this was doubly frustrating, as they found themselves constantly under his scrutiny, frequently called to his office for lectures, or even having their parents summoned for trivial matters.

In contrast to the other two Chinese teachers at the school, Old Tang's reputation was the polar opposite—resented by many.

Eren glanced at Doug and chuckled. "Well, I didn't end up late, did I?"

Like many others, Eren held no fondness for Old Tang. If the teacher had been fair and treated everyone equally, it might have been another story. But his double standards—turning a blind eye to the antics of wealthy, privileged students while nitpicking the Chinese ones—made Eren look down on him.

Doug grinned and gave Eren a thumbs-up. "You're something else."

After glancing around to ensure Old Tang was busy writing on the board, Doug leaned in and whispered, "Hey, by the way, Gwen came looking for you earlier. Still gonna say there's nothing between you two?"

"What did she want?"

"No idea, man. She waited for you for a while, but when you didn't show up, she left right before class started. Honestly, if I were you—"

Doug stopped mid-sentence, his expression shifting to panic. Eren followed his gaze and saw Old Tang glaring in their direction, his face stern as he began striding toward them.

Uh-oh.

Doug braced himself for a scolding, but just as Old Tang stepped off the podium, his foot slipped.

With a dramatic thud, the teacher fell into a full split.

Rip!

The sound of fabric tearing filled the room, drawing every student's attention.

The classroom was deathly silent for a heartbeat, and then every gaze zeroed in on the unfortunate teacher's compromised trousers.

Red-faced and clearly in pain, Old Tang clenched his jaw and quickly muttered something about self-study before limping out of the room, holding his shredded pants together.

Doug leaned closer to Eren, whispering with a laugh, "Man, did you see that? A split like that, and he didn't even scream. Respect."

Eren smirked subtly as he retracted the Poisonous Love Thread from his finger. "I guess he's tougher than he looks."

The incident felt like poetic justice—a small but satisfying payback for the trouble Old Tang had caused his original self.

"Ha! Serves him right. I was bracing for detention, and instead, he gave us the best show of the year!" Doug snickered.

The entire class buzzed with excitement, with students eagerly recounting the scene to one another.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Eren slipped a folded check into Doug's hand.

"Doug, do me a favor. Take this and split it between the guys who helped install the safe at my place yesterday. It's compensation for their time."

Doug glanced at the check and nearly choked on his spit. Eight hundred bucks?!

"Uh, sure thing," he muttered, tucking the check away with exaggerated nonchalance. After making sure no one else had noticed, he added, "Man, what even happened yesterday? I heard your place was swarming with cops."

"Just some lunatic making trouble, but it's handled now. The cops got him."

"Seriously? Since when did NYPD start getting things done so fast? Come on, spill the details!" Doug's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Nice try."

The class passed quickly as the students reveled in their unexpected free period.

As soon as the bell rang, the room emptied in a rush, leaving behind only a handful of students.

Eren was just about to pack up when a familiar figure approached his desk.

It was Gwen Stacy, looking slightly pale but still radiant.

"Got a minute?" she asked softly.

"Of course."

Eren followed Gwen out of the classroom, ignoring the buzz of gossip that erupted behind him.

The two of them walked to a quiet, secluded corner—ironically, the same spot where Gwen had thanked him once before.

Eren leaned against the wall, a playful smile on his face. "Let me guess. Another thank-you speech?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Gwen stepped closer, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him.

The kiss was long and lingering, leaving Eren momentarily stunned.

When she finally pulled away, she didn't step back but wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, holding him close.

"Thank you, Eren," she murmured, her voice trembling. "I heard what you did. You found my mom. I can't even imagine what I would've done if I'd lost her…"
