○○ High School's midterm exam day.
The second period was Chinese characters. A student with good memorization skills can solve all the problems in 10 minutes.
In a class arranged into rows of exam tables, Eunbi sat in the third seat in the last row. It was a good place for her to do something else without the teacher noticing.
This is a good place to use cheating paper.
When I cut an A4 sheet of paper in half, filled it tightly on the front and back, and put it in a sleeve, it looked cozy. Eunbi solved the memorization subjects like that every time. She has now become so adept that she can take it out right away without missing the moment the teacher turns around.
So, I finished the exam safely.
When it was recess time, the children were busy. Someone hit Eunbi's seat and her desk lost heat and became crooked. Eunbi got irritated inwardly and straightened his desk. Meanwhile, the cheating paper on the sleeve fell to the floor.
Tuk.
The first person to discover it was Lee Jeong-oh, sitting diagonally in the next row.
"Eunbi, this fell off."
Eunbi felt like her heart had fallen, not a cheating paper.
Noon casually handed the paper, which looked like a cheating paper at first glance, to Eunbi.
"thank you."
He greeted me briefly and took the paper away as if by snatching it.
'Did Lee Jeong-oh see it? What if I reach the teacher? 'What if I get 0 points?'
In previous tests, Eunbi also made cheating papers. What if it happens to get that far?
Even if I got rid of the evidence, I wasn't confident that I would get the same score if I had to take the test again. I felt like my blood was drying up.
In the end, Eunbi failed the next exam because she was worried about the cheating paper.
It would be a big deal if my family found out about the test results. Eunbi was the youngest daughter of a family of lawyers. Her mother is a law school professor, her father is a judge, and her brother is also a law student at S University preparing for law school.
My parents were people who thought studying was the easiest thing in life. People who take it for granted that they get good grades, but don't understand that they get poor grades. Inside, Eunbi lived a suffocating life.
In such a situation, if cheating on other exams is discovered... ... .
For a few days after the midterm exams, Eunbi felt like she was standing on thin ice. Every time Noon got up from her seat, Eunbi was afraid. It felt like noon would rush to the teacher and blow up at any moment.
Eunbi became nervous and decided to try to accommodate Noon.
"It's noon, do you want this? "I never used it."
Eunbi held out lip gloss from her favorite luxury brand. It was a method she often used with her friends. Her friends always said it was nice and received gifts. The friends who received the gift found it to be a good tool to use in moderation.
But noon was different from Eunbi's friends.
"no. are you okay."
"It would be nice to have one."
"no. I don't wear makeup. "It's really okay."
I was so nervous on the inside. Does he think this is a bribe? Is that why you don't get it?
