"It's okay, just sound it out hyunjin alright?".
Woojin comforts the smaller child, who huffs his breath heavily.
"I don't want to do this anymore".
He whines lowly before crossing his arms and turning his head to the other kids, who were happily enjoying their lunch amongst their friends.
"Just a few more pages and then it will be over".
"Why can't it be over now? Why can't I go play with the others?".
"Because hyunjin I feel like you can use this time to be the best strongest reader I know. Don't you want to be that?".
Woojin hypes, trying to hint away from the fact that the boy had the lowest reading scores in the grade.
"Yes but why aren't the other kids reading? This isn't fair".
"How are you going to be the best if they are also training to be the best too? Huh? That doesn't work".
Hyunjin keeps his head turned away from his teacher, glancing over at his classmates evidently having fun conversations that he sadly couldn't be apart of. He purses his lips, watching Minho laugh at Nayeon for the tenth time.
"Hey buddy are you ready?".
Woojin urges, and the boy sighs before positioning his head on his hand and glaring down at the words that had no structure in his mind. Woojin places his finger under the first bolded word waiting for hyunjin to follow after it.
"Um, the?".
"Good! Next word".
Woojin slides his finger to the next bolded word, but it isn't like hyunjin knew how to read it. He barely knew the last one— it was just a simple guess and he happened to be correct.
"Tact? Uh Act?".
Hyunjin guesses nervously. He'd do anything to get up from his seat right about now. He'd do anything to not face Woojin's disappointed expressions when he couldn't read the word correctly.
"Spell it out okay? What's the first letter?".
Yes! I know this one.
"C?".
"Good! What's the next letter?".
Dang it.
"T?".
"No hyunjin. That's an A. The word is spelled C-A-T. What word do we know that spells C-A-T?".
"Um? Cat?".
"Yes! Good job. Now what are the two words in the first sentence?".
"The..cat?".
Woojin smiles holding up one hand for hyunjin to smack. And the younger boy did, with great triumph and a grin to match.
"Can I take a break now?".
