"why does she read so slow?" hyejin asked a guy next to her as some girl named youngsun was presenting her project.
"dunno, she's always been a slow reader."
"what is she, retarded or something?"
youngsun's voice cracked on her next line after overhearing what the new girl said.
A/N
retarded is used in this chapter to convey a point in the plot so no i don't support use of the word in real life and i understand it is offensive. it's just for the sake of the story y'all so please don't be offended!
