WONWOO's POV

We just finished our recognition day today, time flies so fast. I wouldn't go as far as saying I am a genius since I topped my class once again but I just work really hard. I had no choice, I can't live my life the way other students do because I am poor. Without the scholarship I can't go to school and there are only a few ways to get one, be really smart, be a good athlete or get a sponsor. Most definitely with my little frame I can't do active sports, and I do not have any rich connections to give me a sponsorship so my last option, top my class.

"Congratulations Mr. Jeon, Top of the class as always, you have a bright future ahead of you, I am sure you can do amazing things in the future" the principal said making me blush.

It is not like this is the first time I had received such a compliment but it is always like hearing it for the first time. As someone who grew up in poverty, there are so many things I am insecure about, that maybe I cannot be as good as kids who had everything, but I proved to myself over time that even when my family is lacking financially, my hard work can do the job. It helped me boost my confidence.

"Thanks Mr. Park, for all your support and for believing in me"

"And you deserve all the of it Wonwoo, please continue your hard work"

My mom and I went home and the neighbourhood busibodies nosy eyes were not able to miss me getting down the taxi with all the medals hanging around my neck.

"Wow, look at that Wonwoo, you are amazing with all those awards"

"Look at him Hobi!" Mrs. Jung said hitting his son's head

"moooom!" Hobi Hyung whined while patting the part his mother hit

"That is what you should be doing as a student! not staying in that stinky ass computer shop playing games all night long! sending a kid to school is expensive!" Mrs. Jung scolding his son

"I know mom, I try my best but that is just as far as I can go, I am not smart like Wonwoo"

"Your best? I don't even see you put any effort, when was the last time I saw you holding your textbook!"

"Mrs. Jung, I don't think Hobi hyung is that bad, at least he still pass and never repeats a subject"

"See mom? Wonwoo understands me"

Mrs. Jung hits Hobi hyung's head again out of disappointment "Stop with your nonsense and get off my face! wash the dishes to at least have some use!"

At dinner time, mom bought a cake in celebration of my awards.

"Congratulations my son" my mother said in a very sweet voice

"moooom, you know you don't have to buy me a cake, your presence is more than enough for me.

"this is a very important day son, and you just had a very big achievement, it deserves a celebration, I am sorry this is the only thing I can give you, you deserve the world my son"

Her words cut me and as much as I understand her sentiments as a mother who wants to give her children the best, I am son who is showered with so much love and I see how hard she works for me, that is priceless.

I grabbed her hands and cupped it on my cheeks, the warmth of her rough hands shows how much effort and love she gives to me. I feel at home.

"Mom, I am happy, very happy. I don't need any material things in this world because you shower me with so much love I always feel full. This might just be a cake but it made my day a hundred times better. Mom, thank you for everything."

"I am lucky to have you as my son"

"No mom, I am lucky to have you as my mother. I promise you, I will give you a better life, I will buy you a big house, a car, I will hire maids so you will never have to work again"
