Jinhyun was a child with no confidence, stuttering in his shrunken shoulders.
But now… It's hard to explain exactly, but it's sneaky and calm.
To put it badly, it's like an old man.
“I don't show any evidence that I didn't cheat, just as there's no evidence I cheated. So how about doing this? ”
“What and how?”
“I will prove it for the next test. If you cheat, you won't get these grades on your next exam. ”
It was a reasonable word.
“Yes, I'll admit you didn't cheat when you were in the middle of the class. If your grades don't go up, get ready. ”
Then the classroom teacher laughed at.
You're going to raise your grades?
"Thank you. Then let's go. ”
Jinhyun bowed his head and left the office.
The majestic frowned upon the stately appearance.
'See you at the end of the exam anyway.'

Meanwhile, the parents who received the report card were very happy.
“No, what happened to this? 100 points! It's two subjects too! ”
My mother looked at the report card as if she had won the lottery.
If you keep holding it in a picture frame, you're ready to go.
Of course, overall grades are still low. Because other subjects die when they die.
Nevertheless, at 100 points my son received for the first time, my mother was upset with tears.
Jinhyun smiled into me.
'I only like that grade. I was so ugly. '
My father didn't say anything, but I'm glad to see the transcripts over the newspaper.
“You didn't cheat? How was the Korean and English perfect scores? ”
My mother suddenly shed snow.
"No. I'll get 100 points on my next exam. ”
“I'm thankful to say that. That's right! "
My mother was excited and prepared to cook.
Jinhyun smiled.
The mother was very vigorous, but for Jin Hyun, the bravery was especially important.
Later, after her father returned, she lost her smile and struggled with her life.
'I won't make it this time. With my hands. '
Jinhyeon told his father.
"Father, would you please do me a favor if I got more grades during this final exam?"
"What?"
“Please let me help you at my father's restaurant.”
Father shook his head firmly.
"No way."
“Don't do that… … . ”
"You should never do it unless you are first in class."
It was a stubborn disapproval.
The last kid couldn't win first place.
“Oh, how is this number one? You won't have a wish if you are in the top 20 in class! ”
My mother cooked and laughed.
“Okay, that's it. Jinhyun, don't talk too much and eat!
Jinhyun nodded.
"Yes, mother."

Soon it was time for summer and the final exams came.
“Okay, put your bag in the middle of your desk. Don't think about cheating. ”
Tense stillness flowed.
The homeroom denominated denominations.
"Everyone see conscience, and if you cheat, you will die."
While watching Jinhyeon. Just get caught, is your eyes.
Jinhyun didn't care.
The bell rang and the test began.
The first subject was national history as well as the midterm.
“U… What is this?"
The children who had received the test mourned.
Guksa teacher is famous for the kansaeng, but the nature of the test was buried intact.
From the first problem, the difficulties continued.
The homeroom saw Jinhyeon again.
Jinhyeon was looking at the test paper with a reckless eye.
If anyone sees a human romance novel, he is calm.
Then he did OMR marking.
'Ha, nigga. Then it is!
The Jinsa Junior High School's national affairs test was famous for its difficulty.
Solving that problem at that speed.
The homeroom teacher thought that Jinhyun took it all.
Thus, the tests of history, mathematics, English, and Korean passed.
After all the tests, Jinhyun did not spend more than half of the 50 minutes, and the homeroom was converted.
'Yes, look at your grades. I'll light your thighs. '
I thought about the children sitting around Jinhyeon.
'Ultimate guy, this time I've given up properly.'
Everyone thought that Jinhyun gave up the test and took it roughly.
And after the test, my grades came out.

“Oh no… … ? ”
The classroom teacher opened his mouth.
His trembling hand held a class report card.
"Why do you do this teacher?"
Asked the English teacher.
"Is this printed wrong?"
"Yeah… … ? ”
The homeroom teacher told the young math teacher in charge of OMR scoring.
“Mr. Kim, how did you score this? How important are the grades of kids? What if I make a mistake? ”
"Yeah? What do you mean? ”
"This is, this."
The homeroom teacher then pointed to a part of the report card.
"This is all wrong."
Mathematics teacher's look was strange.
“I was wondering… I scored again by hand… Right."
“… Right? ”
"Yes, that is correct. It's all graded correctly. ”
The homeroom looked at the class report card again.
If my report card is correct, will my eyes be wrong?
But no matter how I look and see again, the numbers did not change.
[2nd class 23rd grade, Kim Jin-hyun averaged 97.3 points. First class, third class]
It was written on the report card.

During a relaxing break, Jin-hyun's partner said with a debt of textbooks.
“Jin Hyun, what are you doing today? Let's go to the game room cool after the end. ”
"done."
"Why?"
"I will study."
The partner had a quirky face.
“Why are you doing these days? You can't do kids like us. I'm going to study. ”
Jinhyeon looked at his partner's eyes.
Was your name Hwang Mun-jin?
Paired with him, Hwang Mun-jin had a lot in common when he was in middle school.
Not timid, self-confident, misfit with other kids, not fighting, not exercising, not studying. Seokcha was first behind Jin Hyun and second behind Hwang Moon Jin.
"Moonjin."
"Why?"
“Really study too. I'm thinking of you. ”
Jin Hyun said with a serious face.
Of course, studying and passing college does not guarantee future success.
In the future, the society where children, including Jin-hyun, will be welcomed is not as ugly as to be rosy.
But studying in school allows you to start from a marginal vantage point in a warlike society.
And that little difference was bigger than I thought. So do not know if you do not experience.
But Hwang Moon Jin stood out.
"Do you really want to talk like a braid?"
But at that time, the door of the classroom opened and the homeroom teacher came in.
"Uh, isn't it moral time?"
The children said to their homeroom.
However, the homeroom did not answer but approached Jinhyeon with a firm face.
"Why do you?"
“Wait a second. I have something to say."
"...... ??"
Jinhyeon followed his class.
"......."
The homeroom silently headed to the corner of the hall. It's next to the warehouse where nobody goes.
