                                              The next morning....
Jisoo held onto her backpack tightly, then she saw the criticizing looks of her schoolmates.
Yah isn't she the imposter from honor's class?
The audacity to be like them tsk.
Ew so pretentious
Yah maybe she's struggling with imposter syndrome..how pathetic
Jisoo kept walking and then she saw Nam Joon passing by. 
His words from yesterday left a mark on her. 
She felt a lump in her throat.
Then she went inside the classroom... 
Her classmates stared at her in disappointment especially Mina,Sana, and Jaehyun.
"Did you have fun fooling us Kim Jisoo?"Sana said while crossing her arms. 
"What are you still doing here? Didn't you know our principal has noticed you and changed your section." Mina told her while showing a white paper.
Jisoo saw that it was a letter of class transfer
She went outside and saw Nam Joon again. 
She then continued walking and passed by him.
Nam Joon on the other hand looked back at her.
That evening at the dining area......
"I can't believe this. Why didn't you tell us that you were struggling with academics nowadays." Jisoo's father complained
"Dad, I wasn't struggling."Jisoo replied, her eyes were red due to tears.
"Yeah well because you cheated to become smart." Jiyeon said while drinking wine.
"Enough Jiyeon. Your sister is already struggling." Their mother scolded her.
"I know that others are looking badly at you right now. Thus, I want you to be tutored." 
"What?" 
"Jiyeon. You are the smartest one here. Can you teach her?" Their father turned to Jiyeon
"I don't want to...I hope that's understandable." Jiyeon stood up and left.
Jisoo stood up and left as well, she ran upstairs to her room while crying. 
She laid down on her bed. 
Then she looked at her computer.
Well...why do they place so much expectation in me? I am not good at anything except games...Her tears kept running down.
Meanwhile at Nam Joon's room...
He waited at the application but there was still no sign of koalagamer going live.
He held his head in frustration because he wanted to see her playing again so badly. 
The next morning.....
At honors classroom...
Nam Joon went inside and saw the empty chair of Jisoo.
He sat behind Jaehyun.
"Hey, where's Jisoo?" He asked
"Didn't you know? Her class is different now." Jaehyun replied.
"How could she do this to us." Mina said.
"I know. Here we are praising her. She doesn't deserve such praises." Sana added.
"Well..she probably deserves this for fooling us." Nam Joon spoke
At Jisoo's house....
"Hey.....Nam ju can I ask for a favor?" Jisoo's dad spoke on the phone
"What is it?" 
"It's about my daughter. I was hoping that maybe your son could tutor her." 
"Ah...sure...I will tell my son about it."
"Thank you so much bestfriend." 
That evening....
Like the usual she and her family were eating.

"Jisoo...you won't have to worry anymore. My bestfriend Nam Ju, I asked him to let his son teach you." 
"Dad. You didn't have to. I will just study." Jisoo replied while slicing her steak. 
"See? How ungrateful." Jiyeon remarked.
"Unnie.." Jennie raised her voice at her.
Meanwhile at Nam Joon's house...
"Son..." 
"What is it dad?" 
Nam Joon's father sat beside him on the couch. 
His father then placed a picture on the table.
"Do you know her?"

"Wait...why do you have her picture she was my classmate who became out from our class because of pretending to be smart." 

"Yeah. That's the main issue. Her academics are a flop. Which is why I want you to tutor her." 

"I DON'T WANT TO. I HATE HER." Nam Joon stood.

"Son. Please. Her father is my bestfriend and he has helped me a lot. At least we can return the favor."
Back at Jisoo's house...
As Jisoo was done arranging the plates she went over to her dad who was reading the newspaper
"Dad.. who will tutor me by the way and when will it start?"
"Tomorrow and his name is Nam Joon." 
"WHAT?" 
Oh god please tell me if I've heard it right. There are a lot of Nam Joons it can't possibly be him....Jisoo thought as her heart started to beat fast.
