“Regarding the assignment that day, I was very shocked after watching your presentation.”

Teacher Min said, getting the attention from the class.

It’s been a week now after the presentation and everyone has been anticipating for the result. So when their teacher bought up that topic, it caught everyone’s attention including Hoseok who normally doesn’t care less. He leans forward in his desk as if waiting for Teacher Min to continue. Hyejoo too had her eyes focused on the teacher.

“But there’s one that I personally love. I’m amazed that they could come up with such idea. It’s special and new.”

No words could explain how she felt at the moment.

The boy next to her was equally as happy because they got chosen to be the best but it is Hyejoo’s smile that made him happier. It is Hyejoo’s cheer that made Hoseok thinks that this victory is worth a celebration.

Why?

He was not sure.

“Congrats, bro. Never thought that you would take part in this project and I was expecting Hyejoo to do it all alone.”
