Secretly, But Unable to Hide It

Older Sister Back

In the scorching hot sunny day, the chirping sounds of birds fill the horizon. In the classroom on the second floor of Ador Middle School, Kim Seokjin is standing on the platform in the classroom and teaching about set squares. His top is wet because of the sweat.

The air is like a pour of boiling water. The fan on the ceiling creates a buzzing sound. It creates a big noise, and the air feels so hot. The students are feeling drowsy. Seokjin couldn't help but be irritated. "Look at the blackboard," He is looking at a female student on the third row, and slaps his ruler against the blackboard with great force. "Do you hear me? Look at the blackboard!"

Several other students start to wake up and open their sleepy eyes. They force themselves to look at the blackboard.

The female student on the third row seems to not hear it. Her head still hangs low. She is drawing something with her pencil. She looks beautiful and innocent. Because she is still young, she is cute. She is sitting up straight and properly. She looks quiet and peaceful. She can be described as a type of student that teachers prefer, but this time, she regards the teacher as an invisible one.

Seokjin discusses the question he wrote on the blackboard. "This 1st angle is equal to the 2nd angle. The third angle is 108 degrees—"

The question is almost done, but the female student still shows no sign that she will lift her head to look at the blackboard.

Seokjin's half-day fury has been boiling for the whole day, he slaps his ruler on the table. The plastic ruler strikes the wooden table, it creates a loud noise. It shocks every student, and they are trembling in fear.

Then the roar of Seokjin makes the atmosphere in the classroom turn stiff. "Pham Hanni!"

The female student, named Hanni, lifts up her head and looks at her teacher for two seconds. She puts down her pencil and stands up on her own initiative.

Seokjin controls his temper. "What did I say before?"

Hanni looks at the blackboard and acts calmly. "The 4th angle equals 72 degrees."

Seokjin is used to this innocent female student, so he isn't easily deceived. He takes the ruler and slaps it on the table again. He says with a sneer, "I haven't talked about that one!"

Hanni starts to feel troubled. "Then why are you calling me...?"

"Tell me, why do you think I am calling you?"

Hanni thinks for several seconds and guesses, "Is it because you cannot do it?"

Seokjin freezes, momentarily dumbfounded.

"Did you call my name so I could teach you?" Hanni understands and looks at the blackboard. "Because the 1st angle is equal to the 2nd angle, so AB is parallel to CD. The two straight lines are parallel. The interior angle—"

Seokjin comes to the end of his patience. "You are so great, then should I pass my position as a teacher to you?"

Hanni is somewhat frustrated by her teacher's action of cutting her explanation. She wants to speak up, then hesitates. She finally says, "But I cannot snatch away your job."

The classroom is silent for several seconds, then everyone starts to laugh out loud. Seokjin flies into a rage. "Be quiet! Don't make a noise!"

Most of the students are still laughing, and the classroom turns noisy as a market.

"Teacher, I feel that it can happen! Let Hanni teach all of us!"

"Then it means there's no more homework!"

"Shut up!" Seokjin roars. "Hanni," He looks at Hanni again and takes a deep breath to let himself not lose his self-control. At last, he still feels so furious. "Tomorrow, let your parents come over!"
