eight

"So, are you happy now?" Eyebrows were raised, a hand swept over the first page of an agreement. Eyes were narrowed and the reading began, checking over every little detail before looking up ad smiling,

"Perfect." The word was quietly uttered, but both parties heard it clearly.

"She'll be perfect for this." A smirk formed on both of their faces. 

"I never thought such an opportunity would arise." This was said as the agreement was signed, "My husband won't even know what's happening." A laugh exited both of their mouths,

"Do you even care?"

"No, not at all. I never did." They both laughed again "I've been wanting to do this for so long and this is the only way to do it."

"That's true, I look forward to working with you." Hands were shaken and both the exited the building. Stepping into chauffeur driven cars, there was one last wave between them before both cars sped off in different directions.

"Wait, so, if I just do this then I'll get the answer?"

"It's a maths equation, Seunghyuk, so yes. You just type in the numbers." I say, I pointing to an equation on the worksheet

"Which numbers go where though?" I give him a look, "What? I don't know where they all go." I sigh, and tell him which numbers go where in the equation "Oh, thanks."

"Woojin, I don't get it." Hyungseob whines from his position next to Seunghyuk. Woojin, who is next to me, sighs and roll his eyes

"How can you not?" Woojin mumbles "It's history; you just remember what a happened and when."

"Wow, really helpful." Hyungseob applauds him "Can't wait to pass my test with that logic." Woojin reaches over and hits his arm,

"Then what am I supposed to help you with?" 

"I understand then memorising bit-" Hyungseob starts, but Woojin interrupts him.

"You could've told me that to begin with."

"Anyways, I just don't know how to word everything. Like, this doesn't make sense." He points to a question in his workbook that he hadn't done. We covered that topic weeks ago and only now Hyungseob is asking for help; right before the exam. 

"Hyungseob, I helped you with those." Seunghyuk points out to him,

"Yeah, but you're bad at explaining." Woojin and I both bite our lips in an attempt to not laugh
"What?" Seunghyuk looks at us suspiciously.

"I guess it runs in the family? You complained about your mother being bad at explaining, Hyungseob seems to think you're bad at it too." I say,

"Oh, right, yeah I guess."

The door is opened and Woojin's mother comes in with food, "Here you four go, the large bowl is for you three boys and Minjung; here's yours." We all thank her and she then leaves, once she's gone Seunghyuk stares ominously at my chips,

"What are they?"

"The paper tasting things." Hyungseob replies,

"They don't look like they taste like paper, they look like they taste like soybeans." I nod, he's right that's exactly what they are.

"How can you even tell that that's what they are?" Hyungseob gasps, 

"They aren't even white, Hyungseob, also my sister eat these so I know what they are." Hyungseob sighs "Don't worry Minjung, I won't be stealing those anytime soon."

"Why do you all get to be so smart?" He pouts,

"Because our family's own business that require intelligence. You're inheriting a electronics company, you just have to say yes and no to things all day." Woojin says,

"I do not, there are plenty of things I have to do. Like maths, I need that." Hyungseob retorts
"Or an employee to do it for you." Seunghyuk mumbles under his breath, Hyungseob pushes him over.

"Shut up, like you'll actually be doing much all day at your job as well." 

"I'm kidding Hyungseob, okay? You just to work harder, you're laziness really doesn't help." Seunghyuk says, patting Hyungseob on the back.

"Tell me none if you sit at home and play games after school." He looks at us all, eyebrows raised
"I would, but we all know my mother would kill me." I reply, matter of factly. Hyungseob hold up his hand which I promptly high-five,

"You don't count then, you're a good person." 

"Oh, and we're horrible?" Seunghyuk raises his eyebrows and Woojin falls back mock offence
"How dare you you suggest such a thing?" Woojin says from the ground,

"I'm not saying your horrible, you just have too much motivation." Hyungseob replies "I could never be this motivated to succeed." I nod, understanding his point.

"Yes, well, you're a high school student and to graduate you might as well try to do well." I place his book in front of him, he had pushed it away a few minutes ago, "So, whilst we still have time, try and answer the question Hyungseob and if you get stuck I'll help you. These idiots over here can be smart with each other and I'll be your emotional support, okay, does that sound good?" Hyungseob looks at the book, me and the Woojin and Seunghyuk. He nods and picks up he's pencil,

"Sure, but I already need help." 

"On that note, Woojin can you help me with this?" Seunghyuk holds up his book and dumps it in front of Woojin "I understand nothing."

"Sure."

"Please throw me, someone. Break my leg or something, I don't really care what, I can't do this." Hyungseob whines from behind me. Both Woojin and I turn around to look at him, eyebrows raised. We both shake our heads at him,

"Unfortunately, I can't do that." I reply, Woojin and Seunghyuk nod in agreement. 

"Okay, I guess I'll just fail then." Hyungseob sighs,

"Are you suggesting that all our study sessions were worthless?" Woojin asks, Hyungseob tilts his head to the side and thinks about it for a moment.

"I mean, I've forgotten just about everything." Seunghyuk rolls his eyes and reaches into Hyungseob's bag "Hey! What are you doing?" Seunghyuk produces Hyungseob's book, opening it and dumping it in front of him, 

"How about we study quickly then?" Hyungseob bites his lip and glances nervously at the door.

"Okay, I will." Hyungseob says, looking down at his book. After a few minutes of reading the teacher walks into the classroom,

"Shut your books! It's time to begin!" Hyungseob sighs loudly,

"I literally read two sentences."

"You'll be fine Hyungseob," I whisper "good luck everyone."
