chapter nine; eyesight.
the bell rang and all the students shot up from their chairs, gathering their stuff and darting out of the room, happy that the weekend had finally arrived.
hoseok let out a sigh of relief, worn out by five whole days of studying and the idea of two whole days of not seeing his hellhole of a school made him beyond happy.
he took his time to pack his bag, grinning at an excited taehyung who tried to wait patiently for him as he bounced on the balls of his feet.
just as both boys were about to leave class, a voice stopped them.
"hoseok?" they turned around to find their physics teacher, mrs zhang smiling at them.
"you can go taehyung. i just need to talk to your friend." taehyung shrugged and told hoseok he would be waiting outside for him.
mrs zhang beckoned her student to sit down, and when he did so, she clasped her hands, her expression turning serious.
"hoseok, i'm worried about you."
the teenager frowned, cocking his head to the side. "huh?"
"you're an amazing kid hoseok. you've got so much potential in you, yet you never use your talent. you do realize finals are coming up in a few months?"
hoseok nodded his head.
"yet, your grade is still stuck at a disappointing D. you won't be promoted to junior year if you don't get good grades! you don't wanna get stuck in sophomore year do you?"
he shook his head.
"i supposed so. anyway, the school's management has looked into this problem and we've decided that we'll be providing tuitions to students like you."
"as you know, the student council consists of the best students, the golden children of our school. so i've decided to appoint one of the council's members as your tutor."
hoseok opened his mouth to protest but was cut off by his teacher.
"to not make it awkward for you, i talked to kim taehyung about this matter. he's a member of the student council, your best friend, and guess what, also your new tutor."
"he'll be tutoring you everyday, starting from today onwards." mrs zhang finished with a hopeful smile.
hoseok wasn't a passive person. but the idea of tutoring didn't seem bad. he obviously needed extra help. and the fact that his new tutor was also his best friend was a huge blessing.
so he nodded his head, thanking his teacher as he slung his backpack on his shoulder and exited the class.
taehyung was leaning against a nearby wall, tapping rapidly on his phone and hoseok slapped his shoulder, trying to get his attention.
