"ah, kyu. can i see you for a minute?"

     the once full classroom was deserted, albeit two figures remained.

     "how have you been?"

     "i've been well mr joon." she smiled, cheery.

     "it's alright kyu," he ruffled her hair, a past habit. "no one is here."

     "uncle jaeyeol..."

     he smiled, arms asking. she accepted him.

     "it's alright kyu," he heard sniffles. "i'm here."

     "thank you."

     little did they know, a pair of eyes saw through the small window door. he felt a pang to the chest.

     so she wasn't all that smart at all.
