7. Question no.6
“Alright, Sunjoon. Give me the answer.”
“Ah.......”
Class was filled with kids’ sigh. Sigh that contain frustration of losing opportunity to Sunjoon. Sunjoon seemed satisfied and confident.
“Kim Sunjoon will Balpo (Kim Sunjoon, will Balpyo. *Balpyo means present in Korean, while Balpo means shoot)
“3rd of October is hmm……,hmm……, an of (off) day?”
“HaHa, he said it’s an off day. What an idiot.”
Sunjoon spoke out with confidence, but after kids’ responds, he began to be disconcerted. He seemed to cry in any minute, with his eyes saying ‘what have I done wrong?’

8. Question no.7
I looked at Sunjoon’s face, with small hope of him to know the answer again. First, he seemed like he was thinking hardly to get right answer, and suddenly, he raised his hand. Just like last time, he showed his conspicuous gesture, containing strong will to respond. With putting his hand together and using his index finger to express ‘pick me, please’ I had to take Sunjoon’s side again.
“Alright. Sunjoon speak up.”
“Teacher, why do you always pick Sunjoon?”
Sunwook spoke with dissatisfaction in his voice.
“You present a lot in math class, don’t you? It’s Sunjoon’s first time to present. Next time, I will choose you to present, alright Sunwook? Ok, Sunjoon, give me the answer.”
“Kim Sunjoon will Balpo. (Kim Sunjoon, will Balpyo. *Balpyo means present in Korean, while Balpo means shoot).
“Ok Sunjoon, for whom do we have to hold a memorial service?
“It’, hmm......hmm...... mi (my) granfater (grandfather)?”
“haha, why do we hold a memorial service for your grandfather on National Foundation Day of Korea?”
Sunjoon was standing awkwardly, taking all the boos and criticism. It was my turn to save him again.
“That’s right. Dangoon is our grandfather. Good job Sunjoon.”
I had to ignore Kids’ unsatisfied view towards me, because I wanted to back up Sunjoon, who sometimes get ignored by others due to learning underachievement.

I bursted into tears. A 7 years old kid who didn’t know anything, went to city at night to buy flower, like people who bought it to give it in graduaction day, to give me, a person who didn’t have any correlation with freesia; I wasn’t beautiful like freesia, neither uses perfume reminding freesia odor.
