Tae Shin is a simple boy with simple dreams, who likes to hide his half-forgotten past into the shadows of his low self-esteem. Kim JaeHwan is a sole heir to a gigantic multi-billion conglomerate, who likes to reminisce the ghosts of his happy child...

The next day, Shin's first and foremost goal was to hand Kim JaeHwan's tie back to him. SooMin had taught Shin how to tie a knot, and the boy was guilty of fancying a situation where he would stand and SooMin Noona would fix the tie on his neck.
In reality, they were sitting facing each other and SooMin had her father's tie around her neck while Shin had his own, and she gave him a thorough tutorial for that. And then, she had JaeHwan's tie put in a nice pastel coloured cardboard box with a thank you note and handed it over to Shin.
Shin felt like a child. Giving a thank you note to someone. But sitting in his new class, for about four lectures, he realized that the child in the class was not him. In fact he was the only student who had any sort of academic skills. The rest of them, well...
"No, I tell you. Single cross means law of segregation and double cross is law of dominance."
"That's not right! Doesn't blood grouping prove the law of dominance?"
"According to you, lizard flowers prove co-dominance. They're clearly proving law of segregation."
Shin had never seen such stupid people in his life ever before. "It's a dragon flower," he sighed, "not a lizard flower."
"Whatever," YooChan snapped at him, "lizards are descendents of dragons anyway." He and HaeBom were arguing right beside Shin's desk, where he was trying to focus on reading about buoyant forces.
"Dragons are fictional, you moron! And lizards descended from dinosaurs."
"You have a dinosaur brain, you fucking pterodactyl!"
"Actually," Shin interrupted, astonished that YooChan knew about a pterodactyl. HaeBom and YooChan both glared at him. "Birds are the descendants of dinosaurs. Lizards descended from squamata."
"Square matter - what?"
"Leave it," Shin sighed and buried his nose back in his notes. He had to meet his homeroom teacher to collect some study notes during recess, especially in subjects like literature. RBH taught advanced level English, and Shin was ashamed of the fact that he was probably the only student in the entire school who couldn't speak English. YooChan, SunJoon, HaeBom, conversed fluently in that language despite being complete idiots.
"Oye Shinnie mouse," YooChan turned to him, hands folded across his chest, "don't look down on me just because you're more intelligent."
"Why am I a mouse?" Was Shin's pathetic attempt at a comeback.
YooChan leaned down until he brought his face level with Shin. "Because I will call you a mouse and you can't do anything about it."
