MISTER LEE

Eight

I sit up from my bed almost immediately after my phone rang. I groan and remember today is Monday and Mister Lee asked me to be early. It's too early and usually on mondays, my class starts at ten.

Nonetheless, I grab my towel and took a bath. I think about what Mister Lee is actually thinking about when he asked me to be early because whenever I enter the room, he always ends up touching me, although my heart pounds lightly at that thought.

"Why are you up early?" My father hisses as soon as I walk downstairs. I turn to him.

"My teacher asked me to be early today."

"For all I know you're just walking around flirting and not studying. You little shit."

I frown. I am a top student ever since I was in grade school. I never failed. In fact, my schoolmates are amazed at how I'm doing so well.

But my own father right here, assuming things that he doesn't know about. He never even came at awardings nor praise me for being a good student.

I gulp. "I'll go now."

"Yeah, go. And I hope you don't come back, get killed out there or something."

My heart aches even more. My biological father just wished me to be dead. I turn around before my tears could fall. I don't want to let him see that I'm hurt by his words, that'll only make him prideful.

I walk towards my school, not bothering to grab something to eat or ask him for money. He never give me money anyway, although he sometimes bring groceries and he doesn't mind me eating it.

I show my fake smile to the guard and spin my body towards Mister Lee's office. I knock first and when I heard him, I immediately go inside.

He is not yet dressed up in his upper half but he is already wearing his pants and shoes. I cowardly walk towards him.

"You know how to create a presentation right?"

I shake my head. Renjun taught me once but I don't remember. I don't even have a laptop of my own.

He sighs. "I asked you to be early for you to create your own presentation."

"Presentation?"

"You're not so attentive are you?"

I frown at his insult. Of course I am. My mind is probably just wandering around my dinner or my breakfast the next day.

"I asked all of you to create your own presentation and present it in class." He says.

I tilt my head at him. Still not so sure about it.

"You're the only one who isn't carrying laptop among all students in my class. I figured out you can use mine."

I smile. "Oh, you noticed?"

"I'm not that heartless Donghyuck."

I huff. "What is it about?"

He gave me a peice of paper, written on it are his activities. Then I remember that he already announced it last time.

"When is it due again Sir?"

"This Thursday."

"Shit!" I curse.

He raises a brow. "This is due Thursday and I haven't even searched about it yet! Oh fuck, fuck, fuck!" I trail off.

"Donghyuck, stop cursing."

I whip my head towards Mister Lee and saw him already furrowing his eyebrows. He sits down and motions for me to come close.
