16| Detention time

"umm...i-" her words lose sense, she stammers, unable to maintain a proper and fixed gaze at me and the paper. "It's bad, I'm sorry." Being sorry for her less marks in the exam, she just hangs her head low, i exhale, not liking this from such a lovely, and cheerful girl. "It's not bad, you got tricked by my question, didn't you?"

Iseul raises her eyes at me, a glint of confusion and upset in them. I look down, and take the paper from her hands softly, "if you compare your marks with previous tests, it's a lot better, isn't it?" I make her look at me.

This is good for her, and so here i am to improve her ability, i have something going on in my head, I'll ask her today.

"Maybe," she whispers, putting her hands behind her back, her neck capturing my attention more easily now that she's in this position, i look at this answer paper, and tell her what i need to.

"I don't know if you'll believe me or not, but when i was checking your paper, many things were what caused me so be relieved," i smile down at this one, "I'm glad you are well aware of the lessons, and the concept of the chapters, the sentence framing seems excellent as well. The one and only thing i want you to improve in is the way you answer these questions. Those little silliness which occurs can be very demanding, and that's what requires your attention a lot."

I open her paper, and show her one such occasion which i am talking about, "look at this, iseul," i ask her to carefully listen as i explain, "in this question, it's asked that you have to describe what happened after the French revolution, and how it all came up."

"But here, you've explained in detail about the effects of the revolution upon comman people. This which seems too tricky, i know that. But it isn't one same question, nor one same answer."

She tries to take in all what i say, staring down at where she messed up, and this makes me quite glad as a teacher. "This kind of questions will be made a lot in numbers for thr finals, so i just want you to focus on history a bit more..." I smile at her to not make her pretty features glum, "though that doesn't mean you can bunk classes, and eye on the historical books over here in the library."

I successfully achieve a small smile to curve on her lips, but she doesn't accept it yet, being a stubborn kitten, "i wasn't looking at that." She denies it, but i know what book she likes, and is planning on reading soon. "Sure you weren't..."

"Anyways, so, you understood whatever i told you?" I bend down, looking at her because she'd never, and she nods, "i did. I'll try to do more better than this next time."

She makes me happy, "really?" I ask her for confirmation since i am not sure about this, and want to talk to her more easily. "Yes," she promises me about doing good in my subject in the next test, i trust her, straightening up with a bright smile on my face, this which always shines because of this little sunshine making my day so much more good than it feels in real.

"You're sure you will come to me if you got any doubts, or questions?" I stare at iseul, hoping she'd resume sketching sooner.

I love to watch her drawings, be it any little doodle, or a whole man in her small notebook.

"I will," she looks up, but stops smiling, she bows down to greet me, and turns to leave without anymore words. This is weird to see this coming from her, this whole day she seemed off.

Is she unwell, or it's a different matter? Whatever it is, i hope for it to go away.

End of Jungkook's POV

4 pm

I sit down, the sight of the lighter kept inside the glass cabinet distracting me a lot, and not helping me study. I force myself to look down, and read the lesson mister jeon asked me to, i cannot believe i didn't fail the test. I should've got my paper, so i could see what's got me the marks i did not expect at all.
