Introvert | Lee Taemin

2

That same Monday, but at 8:30am

Everyone rushed back to their seats.

The door swung open.
A lady walked in.
The sound of her heels echoed throughout the classroom.
The teacher had a hawkish air about her.
Even her nose was curved and beaky.

Every movement she made betrayed her internal frustrations that bounced inside her like sound in a deep cave.

"Morning."

She spoke, monotonously.

The class greeted her back lazily.

"We have a new student today."

She looked out the door and whispered to perhaps the new student outside.

A tall figure walked into the classroom with his head down.

He stood awkwardly beside the teachers table.
He didn't make a sound.

He fidgeted with his fingers and continued to stare down at his feet.

The class looked at him in silence.

"This is the new student, Lee Taemin."

She then looked at him.
Hinting that he should introduce himself.
He let out a little cough before speaking.

"H-hi, I hope we'll get along. Please take care of me."

He was so soft I could barely hear him.
He did not lift up his head once.
The class clapped slowly.

He had black hair.
Sightly tanned skin.
You could tell that he was someone who played sports.
He had a very toned body.

I however, did not clap.
