Felix was petrified in front of the class, his teacher still had her stupid smirk on her face. Minho was besides him, trying to wake him up, but vainly. "Mr Lee? It's been five minutes now and you didn't say anything! Every thing's fine?" Felix frowned. "Yeah, every thing's fine. Thanks for asking" Felix answered in English "That's just a bit weird because I'm in front of a class, I have to do a lesson but I didn't prepare anything, obviously, meanwhile you prepared that". Minho whistled, admiring. "However, I think I'm good enough in my own language to learn you some things" A girl raised her hand "I can't understand what you're saying... You've a harsh accent" "Could you repeat in English, please?" The girl repeated, stuttering a lot "Obviously, it's not your fault. You're doing as well as you can. I have an Australian accent, yes. And if you don't understand me after 10 years of English class, it's because Korea only have Korean teachers, thinking they know everything. I'm sorry, it's not your fault." repeated Felix, uncomfortable. He wanted to prove something. He didn't know if it was for his teacher, Minho, or himself.

He started the class, and all the students wanted to participate. Indeed, they wanted to make fun of Felix and they were asking really hard questions, but Felix answered to all of them without any difficulty. Eventually, his comrades were having fun, and were learning a lot of things. Even Minho was passionate, his English wasn't really good.

The teacher stood up. "You really think you're better than me?" Felix shook he head "I didn't say so. I just said my English was good enough for me to stop participate to this class, and I could take Korean lessons in place, because of my gaps. You're better in Korean than me, and I'm better in English than you. Because you're Korean and I'm Australian. I don't see your point" Felix became shy again, right after his answer. He didn't know where he found all this courage. The teacher didn't know what to say, so she just pointed at his sit and he went to it.

The class resumed normally.
