sunghoon was about to leave the room when the teacher called out to him. sunghoon slowly approached him, watching as everyone else was leaving. 

sooha clung onto him. "do you want me to stay with you?"

sunghoon smiled softly, "it's fine. you can go."

sooha pouted and exited the classroom, leaving sunghoon behind. he looked at the older man, who had a disappointed expression on his face. he was holding a few sheets of paper in his right hand. 

"there is no way i failed again."

the teacher placed the sheets of paper on his desk, right in front  of sunghoon. 

"sunghoon, this is already the fourth time this semester. i know from my co-workers that you are a good student. but this needs to stop. you will get in real trouble if you fail another test."

sunghoon sighed, looking at the disheartening result. "it's just that biochemistry isn't my-"

"i don't care about these things, sunghoon. just find a tutor and forget about sleeping at all. i want you to pass the next test."

sunghoon continued staring at the desk. this is not what he wanted. he feels like he is pushed around by other people and has no jurisdiction upon his life. 

but deep inside he is thankful for that. it's easier to be controled than to be the one in control. because he could always blame others for how things turn out. he's got no responsability. 

and now, he can blame everyone who pushed him to get a degree in chemistry.

he hates it so much.

it's their  fault. 

he looked at the teacher. "i will try my best," he said before leaving.

sunghoon was walking on the hallway, looking at his feet, as he slowly dragged them towards the canteen. he didn't have any genuine relationships around, so  he had no one to ask to help him.

he stopped his tracks when he felt two arms wrapping around him from behind. 

"sunghooniee," a loud voice screeched at his ear.

sunghoon took a few steps forward so he could get away from the girl. 

"i missed you sooo muuch"

sunghoon sighed and kept on walking. then he stopped as he remembered something and turned to sooha. "hey, do you know someone who is good at biochemistry?"

she thought for a few seconds. "oh, i remember a guy from heeseung's party.  i offered him a few beers.  he seemed pretty smart acually. witty- i would say. even though he gets drunk so easily-"

"what's his name?" sunghoon interrupted her blabbering.

"i think it was sunee or something."
