"Oh yeah, your niqab. It must get a little ann— in the way sometimes."
"Definitely."
"If I ask you something, you can say pass, or you can answer."
Worriedly, Ji Eun nodded her head.
"Did your family problems start because you're a muslim?"
Ji Eun was shocked. "How did you find out?!"
"I was just asking but I think you just told me my answer."

"Ah, yeah... I'm guessing there aren't many Koreans who are muslims in our school, right?"
"That's true... I'm pretty sure you're the only one who wears a niqab. Guessing you're really religious, right?" Wooyoung looked at his watch. "Oh God! I have to go! I have an essay due for tomorrow! Bye bye!" Wooyoung handed the ice-cream over to Ji Eun and ran away, fading into the distance.
"He should have just asked me to do it for him..."
"Everyone, guys, class!" screamed Ginger at the top of her voice. "Listen up! We're having an early assembly right now in the main hall. It is very important so everyone MUST be there, no matter what! Thanks." she ended before blowing a kiss to the class.
Wooyoung peered over to Ji Eun and smiled. They made eye contact but she looked away immediately.
"Mr Hong, Ginger wants you to come to the main hall for the assembly." said a girl with dark brown hair.
"Who said we have assembly?"
"Ginger said there is going to be a very important assembly..."
"There is no assembly today, though. Today's Tuesday, right?"
Ginger cleared her throat and stood in the middle of the stage, grinning. "Today, class, I will be showing you a few pictures that everyone must see. You can take pictures of the slideshow and talk about it if you want but just keep quiet for now. i just want to mention that Miranda and Sunny could not get the rest of our year group to come so don't forget to share the photos on group chats, okay? Thank you! Sunny, play it."
Instantly, a slideshow started, widening every single person's eyes. Lee Ji Eun's eyes stung but she tried to blink away the pain. She peered over to Wooyoung who looked somewhat disgusted at the photos.
"Is that not Mr Hong and Lee Ji Eun?"
"It could be any girl wearing a scarf..."
"Look she's wearing our school uniform!"
"Yeah, it Ji Eun!"
"As you can see, Mr Hong and Lee Ji Eun are not only part of a student-teacher relationship, but they also LIVE and SLEEP in the same house. I'm guessing I won't have to say the rest, right guys?" giggled Ginger as she air-fived her two friends who were standing behind the red curtains.
"Ginger!" roared Mr Hong furiously. "How dare you—?"
"How dare YOU, teacher? Did you think you could get away with such ridiculous behaviour?" Ginger crossed her arms.
"STOP THIS BULLSH** RIGHT NOW, GINGER, SUNNY, MIRANDA!" bellowed a familiar voice.
