Continuation...............................................Purple!..........Last page of chapter three...............

He begs that his sweat would not come so obvious because Key staring at him just adds pressure into his nervous condition.

And thus, he answers…

“hhhmmm….
(avoiding Key’s stare)
Literature is very rewarding as a way of being
able to learn writings about other countries,
people and discoveries.
So it is worth reading and enjoying them at the same time….”

After his answer, Minho’s eyes incidentally lands on Key.
He gulps when Key smiles at him and nods as a way of approval and seeing the other’s expression makes it all worthwhile for Minho – sighs in relief.
And so, he thinks…

“Thank goodness… I made it…”

So Minho able to surpass the ordeal breathes heavily as a way of releasing his tenseness but jerks when…

“Good answer Minho-ssi…
I never thought you have this kind of reasoning.
I am impressed so tell me…
can you give at least some of finest works of literalists…”

So Minho thinks…

“Damn…
is she not gonna let me pass with flying colors…
I do not know who is who – the famouses in Literature…
what the heck…”

Minho looks quickly at his friends asking in silence for help who all just look back at him smiling proud misunderstanding the purpose of his glance.

Minho keeps on blinking so many times conveying his message but fails unintentionally uttering in whispers…

“Damn…
I do not have an idea who…
what should I do now…?”

Unknown to Minho, Key has not stopped watching him and somehow understands the unavoidable quandary the latter is in.
Tears a piece of paper from his pad and scribbles…

• Peter Pan by JM Barrie
• Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
• The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
  And a lot more…

And shoves it to Minho under the chair - gets it and faces Sooyoung with a new found confidence and answers…

“Ma’m, here are some of the stories that I have interests in;
they are:

• Peter Pan by JM Barrie
• Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
• The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

And a lot more…”

“Oh…
nice variety you have Minho…
(looks at the 91Liner)
I just found a new good impression with you guys…
good job… I will be expecting a lot from all
of you from this day forward…”

And the bell rings suggesting end of class period.

“Okay…
class see you the day after tomorrow…
bye everybody…”

“Bye Ms. Sooyoung…”

Minho exhales loudly and whispers to Key…

“Thank you so much…”

Key turns to him on knife-like eyes saying….

“If you want to do well, read.
Your statement has gotta be what
I consider half- reasoning…”

And for that, Key stands looks at Taemin…

“Taemin… shall we…?”

“Sure…
(stands and looks at Minho, smirks and says)
Gotcha…
He’s… here, let me say…
(points at the walking ahead of him, Key)
Watch out…
Key is very sharp and has a lot of sense…”

Minho is left dumfounded with what just happened but pulls himself quick and wipes his unstoppable sweat pouring down his cheeks.
He could not believe he just had a wonderful moment with Key and regardless how satirical his statement was, he is just so elated right now that he does not notice his friends coming up to him…

“Wow…
Minho-ssi, you finally got Key’s attention…”
Blurts out Dongwoo…

“Lucky, he saved your but you were
at least impressive on two bases not a full goal though…”
States Woohyun…

Everyone is praising Minho except for Mir who sighs saying…

“Now… this is getting serious…
I will have to read books…
hate of my life…aaasshhh…”

“Oh come on…Mir…
reading is fun…
you have all the time in the world reading your fans’ mails…
it is just the same in the aspect of reading
the only difference is that…
it is not focused on you…”
Says Nickhun…

“I completely agree there Nickhun…”
Follows Hoya…

“Guys…
let’s go to our next schedule…”
Says Jaejin…

“IT’S PLAYTIME!!!”
Screams Eli…
