Chapter 8
Behind The ShadowAs summer comes the students busy with their test before summer holiday. Mino struggles with his bad marks. The teacher said he will get an additional class during holiday if he gets bad marks again. It's not like he is stupid. Actually he's one of the top students on his junior school. He just lost his motivation because Youngji doesn't want to be his friend again. He can get perfect marks if he wants.
"I will give you a tutor for a month before the test." The teacher said.
"I don't need a tutor, sir. I can do it on my own." Mino said.

"It will be weird if you got a got a good marks only in a month without a tutor." She's right.
"Then just act. The teacher knows you will be my tutor, but just left me alone. We don't need to meet every day. And I can get a good mark at the test by my own. Is it good right?" I saw her considering what I say.
"It's not ok. I can say to the teacher that you're cheating." She smiles slyly. I was trapped. I scratch my head. I want to be with her but I dont want her to be my tutor.
"Why? Your pride hurt right? Song Minho who used to be a top student back in the junior school now has all zero on his test. He even needs Heo Youngji to help him." She teased me.
