"You punk..."
Kim So-woo, who raised himself by swearing, clenched his fist again and rushed in.
At Kim So-woo's appearance, Lee Jong-seok also spread his hands as if he was angry. And when Kim So-woo's fist was directed at him again, he grabbed it and pulled it and carried it on his back.
Boooong!
Bang!
"Crrrrrrrrrr!"
If Kim So-woo, who was matched on a hard floor, and Lee Jong-seok did not raise Kim So-woo's hand at the end, the sound of bone breaking would have been accompanied by screams.
Shaking!
Still, Lee Jong-seok, who was watching Kim So-woo shaking on the floor as if the shock was huge, looked around and said,
"I didn't cheat."
The children were surprised by Lee Jong-seok's low but strong voice and stepped back.
He was surprised that the quiet one suddenly overpowered Kim So-woo.
From the children's point of view, the rank of fist in the class has changed greatly.
Whether or not the children react like that, Kim Soo-chul was still looking at his report card.
'The teachers won't let it go.’
He himself didn't think he could get this kind of score by cheating. But there was something he didn't know.
Otherwise, the score did not make sense.
I don't know how Lee Jong-seok got a perfect score, but the teachers won't just watch it as it is.
It would be even more absurd for teachers when the class is so absurd.
Lee Jong-seok, who was receiving the children's attention, went to his seat and sat down.
Conning... this is suspicious.’
I didn't think like that when I was taking the test. I just solved the problems I knew with excitement.
But looking at the atmosphere now, he seemed to be convinced that he cheated.
Lee Jong-seok also knows that the suspicion is a grounded one. The student, who was a little lower than the average, got a perfect score and topped the whole school.
'Phew! Should I have taken it easy?
When he sighed small, Kim Young-woo approached slowly.
"Hey."
"I didn't cheat."
"Someone said something."
Lee Jong-seok looked at Kim Young-woo's words.
"Don't you think I cheated?"
"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. The important thing is another matter.”
"Other problems?"
When Lee Jong-seok was wondering, Kim Young-woo grabbed him strongly.
"Let me give you a lesson."
"What?"
"Good luck on your exams by yourself. You rotting bastard."
At Kim Young-woo's words, Lee Jong-seok stared blankly at him and laughed and beat him on the shoulder.
"Yes, you must be at ease."
"Comfortable little bastard."
Kim Young-woo tore his head when he saw the report card attached to the back of the classroom.
"When I get home, I'm dead.”
***
With the last seven classes left, Lee Jong-seok was not in a good mood. I didn't like the class kids chatting at him and who is Jong-seok whenever teachers come in? I didn't feel like asking him to come out and solve the problem.
The way you looked at yourself with the eyes that said, "You cheated."
It was fortunate that he had solved all the problems, or he would have only said what he was saying.
Damn it!
In the eyes of Lee Jong-seok, who was swearing inside, I saw a math teacher entering the classroom.
"Put in all the things on the desk."
The math teacher snapped at the desk as the students looked at him with curious eyes at the sudden remark.
"Come on."
When the students put the writing instruments inside, the math teacher handed out the paper they were holding.
"It's like a note test, which means you don't want to get down with the end of the term."
"Tip test?"
"Are you taking another test?"
said the math teacher when the students grumbled.
"You can look at it at ease. And you don't have to solve things you don't know. You can just watch it comfortably. And the vice principal will give 100,000 won to the person who wins the test. Unlock what you know."
When the math teacher handed out the exam papers, the students began to take them out.
Looking at such students, the math teacher slowly began to approach Lee Jong-seok.
After the test results came out today, there was talk about Lee Jong-seok. It's about whether you took the test with your skills or not.
And the conclusion that came out was to test one more time. They can solve their doubts and students' doubts.
So I hurriedly asked the questions and assigned Lee Jong-seok to my math teacher.
Mathematics can never get a perfect score unless it is one's ability, so the math teacher monitors the process of solving the problem.
Lee Jong-seok, who received the test paper, nodded as if he had done well.
'This is also a test. If I win the 100,000 won gift certificate from the vice principal, the kids won't doubt it anymore.’
Lee Jong-seok quickly began to solve the test questions. And next to Lee Jong-seok, the math teacher was looking at it with sharp eyes.
And... more and more surprised at the math teacher's face.
'I'm untying everything.’
As if he knew the answers to the test, Lee Jong-seok was quickly writing the answers.
That's all the answers.
'Are you sure you won first place with your skills?'
***
The so-called vice-principal note tests were all Baek Moon-hang. The 20 questions left by the National Forensic Service and the remaining 20 questions included five questions: national history, society, physical education and music.
These were questions that couldn't be answered in an hour. So Lee Jong-seok solved problems that he could solve right away.
'I'll untie one more. And I prove that I didn't cheat on this test. And a 100,000 won gift certificate.'
Lee Jong-seok, muttered inside, quickly read the question and wrote down the answer.
An hour later, the grading was done immediately. When the class was over, Choi Hyun-soo, who came inside, collected the test papers and randomly distributed them to the children.
And on purpose, Lee Jong-seok's test paper was given to Kim Soo-chul to mark.
'You check it out.’
Since Kim Soo-chul is misunderstanding Lee Jong-seok, let's solve the misunderstanding by scoring it yourself.
Choi Hyun-soo, who handed out all the test papers, opened his mouth.
"So I'll write down the answer. Scoring them. Don't change the answer because you're close. You're not getting into grades anyway."
"Yes."
Choi Hyun-soo, who nodded to the students, wrote down the answer on the blackboard.
Sweep! Sweep!
Kim's face, which marks Lee Jong-seok's answers, has become increasingly stiff.
Although there were occasional questions that did not have answers, all the questions with answers were correct.
Sweep!
'Please... please....'
The more I scored, the harder Kim's face became and the more I prayed inside.
And when all the grading was over, Kim Soo-chul bit his lips.
'89....'
89 points at Baekmun Port... But it's probably the highest score considering that the exam time was an hour.
Since he himself had less than 60 problems solving in an hour.
With a stiff face, Kim Soo-chul wrote a number next to Lee Jong-seok's name.
When Kim Soo-chul was looking at the score, Choi Hyun-soo approached and nodded at the test paper.
Then he made me walk all the test papers and said,
"The best score in my class is Lee Jong-seok, 89.
"Oh!"
The children's voices of surprise flowed out of their mouths when Choi Hyun-soo said.
Bam!
Choi Hyun-soo, who made the children quiet by lightly touching the school table, opened his mouth.
"There's a rumor going around that Jong-seok cheated on this final exam, and as you saw today, Jong-seok got this score on his own without cheating."
Choi Hyun-soo, who stopped talking for a while, continued to look at the children next to Lee Jong-seok.
"And Jong-seok doesn't even get this score by cheating on the kids next to him."
"큭!"
"LOL!"
The children laughed at Choi Hyun-soo's words. As he said, he is the best student around Lee Jong-seok.
"So don't have any doubts and follow Jong-seok's example and work hard. If you work hard, your grades go up like this.”
"Yes."
" Supervise the class leader's cleaning, and when you're done, don't go anywhere else and go straight home. Jong-seok and Su-cheol follow me.”
Then, when Choi Hyun-soo left the classroom, Kim Soo-chul and Lee Jong-seok followed.
The teachers looked at Choi Hyun-soo, who brought the two into the teacher's office.
I have already heard that Lee Jong-seok solved most of the questions without cheating, according to his math teacher.
That's why I'm curious about the test paper score that Choi Hyun-soo brings.
And when Lee Jong-seok came in after Choi Hyun-soo, the teachers' eyes turned to him.
"Are you sure you won first place without cheating?"
"There used to be kids like that."
"Is that so?"
"It's scary when kids in trouble study with their minds together one day, but... That was the time when the dragon was born in Gaecheon. That's great, anyway."
Lee Jong-seok's face was slightly hardened as the teachers listened to him whispering.
Choi Hyun-soo, who brought Lee Jong-seok and Kim Soo-chul to his seat, gave them a drink and said it out loud.
"Lee Jong-seok must have studied hard. 89! Point!"
"89 points?"
"My class' best score is 57 points?"
"Jong-seok must have really made it."
Choi Hyun-soo looked at Lee Jong-seok as the teachers were whispering in surprise.
"You may have noticed, but... With this grade, the teachers doubted you a little bit."
Nod!
When Lee Jong-seok nodded with a stiff face, Choi Hyun-soo opened his mouth.
"But the teacher trusted you. Because I watched you the closest when you took the test."
"Thank you."
"But these tests were necessary to solve people's questions."
"Did you take this test because of me?”
"Yes. You may feel bad, but... I'm not the only one who needs to be honest. Sometimes you have to show reasons and appearances that people can understand. The world is not about me living alone, it's about us all living together."
"Okay."
Choi Hyun-soo, who nodded at Lee Jong-seok's words, tapped on the shoulder.
"I worked hard. The teacher is proud of you."
"Thank you."
"Go on, then.
Choi Hyun-soo looked at Kim Soo-chul as Lee Jong-seok, who bowed his head, turned away.
"You're disappointed, aren't you?"
"Yes."
When Kim Soo-chul bit his lips, Choi Hyun-soo nodded.
"One loss doesn't mean you keep losing."
"I don't think it's done. It was a mistake."
"Yes, I'm glad to think so. You're the one who does. I believe you won't be depressed."
"Yes."
Choi Hyun-soo, who consoled Kim Soo-chul a few more words, sent him back. Then Choi Hyun-soo smiled and picked up the phone.
"Let me see. Lee Jong-seok's house number..."
***
Lee Jong-seok, who went home after cleaning, felt a bit comfortable inside. Perhaps because of the test, the children's doubts were resolved.
Surprised may remain, but no longer suspected of cheating.
But there was one thing I was a little worried about.
"By the way, what if my mom and dad don't trust me when the kids are like this?’
Lee Jong-seok, who was walking with that thought, was able to get home.
But the store was closed.
"Have you already finished your business?"
With that in mind, Lee Jong-seok, who went upstairs, opened the door.
"Son!"
"My baby!"
With the door opening, I could hear the voices of my mom and dad.
"Why did you close so early..."
"Our son, number one in the whole school!"
Even before the horse was finished, Dad came up and hugged himself.
Of course, even if I hugged him, he was taller than Lee Jong-seok, so I only lifted a span. It was to put it down.
"Huh? How did you know?”
"My homeroom teacher called me. Jong-seok is the top student in the whole school, so please do something delicious."
Lee Jong-seok looked at her surprised at her mother's words.
"Teacher?"
"Yes, the teacher said he was very proud."
Lee Jong-seok said after a while at the words of his mom and dad.
"You don't doubt me?"
"What doubt?"
"Cunning."
My father laughed at Lee Jong-seok's words.
"Jongseok."
"Huh?"
"Dad went to school, too."
Then my dad beat Lee Jong-seok on the shoulder.
"Who in the world can win first place in the whole school by cheating? If I were you, I would have memorized the answers and made some mistakes on the test."
The father, who spoke with a smile, looked at Lee Jong-seok.
"And Dad trusts you."
Lee Jong-seok smiled at his father.
'Simple and clear reason.’
Looking at Lee Jong-seok like that, my father smiled and said,
"Go and put your bag down. Today is eating out."
"Yay!"
At Dad's words, Lee Jong-seok put his bag down in the room and hurried out. Looking at his son, his mother and father also wore outer clothes.
"But why did business end so early today?”
"What kind of business is it on a day like this? It's closed.”
"What's the material?
"I've given them away as a service, and the rest of the ingredients can be sold tomorrow."
Mom nodded at Dad's words.
"Let's go eat pork ribs."
When his parents took the lead, Lee Jong-seok followed him with a smile.
It's been a while since I've eaten out, so I was really looking forward The dining out was tasteless.
'Damn it, you goddamn palate.’
The pork ribs, which used to be delicious due to their absolute taste, were not tasty. But I couldn't express myself.
My parents are drinking soju and enjoying it.
'Yum! What if I'm not tasty, Mom and Dad are eating so deliciously.'
And Lee Jong-seok was able to realize one thing.
Even though you eat food for taste, it may be more important who you eat with.
