"Stand up, Mr.Sim!" The professor ordered the boy seated at the back of the homeroom.

The boy stirred awake and faced the teacher, his eyes widening as the realization dawned on him and he immediately shuffled in his chair before standing up, scratching his nape sheepishly.

"Yes Mr.Lim?"

The professor eyed him suspiciously before shaking his head in disbelief, scoffing at the latter's obliviousness.

"You really don't know why I called you?"

Jake glanced between his professor and his colleagues in embarrassment before answering.

"I'm sorry Mr.Lim, I won't do it aga-"

"Spew another excuse Sim, You said this yesterday"

The teacher huffed in annoyance, fighting back and eyeroll as he crossed his hands.

"I-I said it yesterday? Then..uh wait...Oh yeah, I got no sleep yes-"

"You said that 2 days ago Sim, Say another one"

"Uh...um my dog ate my ca-"

The teacher let out a long sigh of anger before lashing out in pure resentment and dissapointment.

"SHUT IT SIM. IF I SEE YOU SNOOZING ON MY PERIOD EVER AGAIN, I WILL WRITE YOUR NAME DOWN FOR DETENTION. GOT IT?"

Jake slightly flinched at the sudden shift in tone. He looked around the class awkwardly, only to see that all eyes were on him. He could feel the awkward tension still in the air at the professors words.

"I- I uh...um"

"Dont make me repeat myself Sim!"

"Yes sir"

The teacher nodded in satisfaction before abruptly breaking into hoarse and throaty coughs from straining his voice at the previous rampage.

He excused himself and left the homeroom, coughing on his way out. As he left, everyone looked back and stared at Jake, who squirmed slightly at the amount of eyes on him.

"Is there...um..something on my face?" He questioned while chuckling sheepishly, his face etched with embarrassment.

All of the students turned around at being caught, some of them choking on air as they were caught off by Jake's question.

Soon the professor came back and allowed Jake to sit. Jake sat down, annoyed that the teacher embarassed him in front of the class.

                                                             LUNCH

It was lunch time and the cafeteria was bustling with crowds and chatters.

Jake, being the loner, went and sat at the back of the cafeteria with his packed lunch. He opened his tiffin which was filled to the brim with kimchi jiggae.

He took the pair of chopsticks that was packed along with the tiffin and started eating, humming in pure bliss.

After a while, he closed the tiffin and let out a sigh of satisfaction. He wiped his mouth with the tissue kept tidily on the table.

He threw the used tissue in the nearest trashcan and left the vicinity.

He walked through the empty hallways, probably due to the students still eating. He liked the peaceful environment he was enveloped in right now, he always did.
