Special Edition (VIXX)
I'm 21 years old. I'm living an ordinary college life, and I'm on my way to tutoring.
"Hey lady! Where are you going?"
"Oh, I'm going to tutor."
"Oh, right..."
As I started to need a lot of money for various things, I wanted to get a part-time job, so I looked around diligently to find one, but... I was robbed.
After much deliberation, I decided to try tutoring. Having always been a student, I was now a teacher. I was half excited and half worried. Still a student, I wondered if I had the skills to teach anyone...
[Han Sang-hyeok's mother]
Are you sure you're going to start tutoring today?
yes yes.
I'm going to the address you gave me now.
Please take care of me.
I hope it's okay since my child is shy.
I don't know...
it's okay!
I will try my best.
Okay~
The closer I got to home, the more nervous I became, but since this was the path I had chosen, I had to do it right.
"You can do it, Han Yeo-ju!!"

Ding dong -
"Oh my, you came to the right place."
"hello~"
"I have an appointment, so I have to go out. My son is waiting in his room right now, so I think you can go in."
"yes yes!"
As soon as my mother showed me to my room, she rushed out. I calmed my trembling heart and knocked on the door.
"Can I come in?"
"...yes."
I opened the door and went in. The room smelled wonderful. It smelled like a baby...
I wondered if he was a cute boy!, and looked at his face with excitement. My excitement vanished in an instant.
"....."
A cold expression. His face was covered in bruises, as if something had happened. I felt like I was doomed from day one...
"Uh... hello?"
"yes."
I think it was in my third year of high school... I know kids these days are scary, but I didn't want to meet them like this. No, I just don't want to meet them at all. They're scary...
“It’s the first day, so I won’t go in too hard.”
"....."
"Did you say Sanghyuk? My name is Han Yeoju. I'll be your math teacher for a while."
"under..."
I flinched for a moment with a sigh. Should I pray that at least the fists won't fly?
"Uh... I wonder what Sanghyuk's grades will be like. I need to know so I can prepare for him."
"I've never studied before."
"Ah... I see~"
Is this really true???? I'm a senior in high school and I don't have any basic foundation, what am I supposed to do? It's too late to start now. How am I supposed to get my CSAT score up?
"Just kill some time and go. I have no plans on going to college."
"...I can't do that because I have the money I'm receiving."
"Don't worry about it and just kill time."
Huh? My stomach started to boil.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think so."
"Ha... Don't bother me."
"You're the one who should stop being so rude, aren't you?"
Honestly, I was scared. But I couldn't stay silent. I'd already received the advance payment, and I had a duty to teach this student.
"I don't study."
"I'm going to make you study."
"Why don't you try it alone?"
I'm definitely not in the mood to study today.
"I'm not studying today. I need to get to know you first."
"What are you saying..."
"...Hmm. Do you have a favorite subject?"
"no."
"Why don't you want to go to college?"
"Because I don't have a dream."
I was like that too. I had no dreams, and I had to go to college. I needed money to be happy, and to earn money, I had to get a job. And to get a job, I had to go to college.
Not everyone has a dream. Even if it's late in life, you'll eventually find something you want to do. Even if Sanghyuk is like this now, he might find something he wants to do someday.
That's why I can't let go of studying.
"If you have no purpose, you have no motivation. I think it would be good to study for a purpose, a dream, that will come someday."
"...I don't know, something like that."
"It's okay, that could happen."
Strangely enough, he answers everything I say. Honestly, I thought he'd just ignore me no matter what I said.
"You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but how did your face get hurt...?"
I was cautious because it could be a sensitive question.
"Why are you curious?"
"I'll be seeing you every day from now on, so it's a bit weird if I don't know anything about you...?"
"...That's useless meddling."
"haha..."
I guess this kind of question is a bit strange
"I got hurt fighting."
"...Why did you fight?"
"Are you curious?"
“There’s no need to force myself to talk...”
"You won't regret it after listening."
"Huh? Huh..."
What on earth could possibly be making you say something like that? Honestly, I think that's where the reason lies.
"I work part-time at that club. In the room."
"what...?"
What the...? Why would a minor work at a club, and she doesn't seem like she's from a poor family... and what's with working in a room!? Could it be what I think...?
Even if he's handsome, how can you hire a minor as a part-time worker? No, it could just be serving. But why would his face be so ugly?!
His mind was in turmoil. Sanghyuk could only give a faint sneer at Yeoju, who could clearly see what he was thinking.
"Then you can just kill time and go."
"Why do you work in a place like that?"
"There's a reason. Working in a place like that means fights happen often. Well, to be honest, it's a bit one-sided."
"....."
Why is this kid working in a place like that? It's ruining him.
"I don't regret hearing this. Nothing will change. No matter where you are or what you do, you are still my student."
That's all. He's just a student I have to teach, and I have no right to judge him based on that story alone.
"I'll be counting on you in the future, Sanghyuk."
"....."
Sanghyuk looked at Yeoju with a strange look. Yeoju simply looked at him with a faint smile.
"Is that so?"
