• Hwang Yeji

It was an ordinary day. The school was quiet only during lessons; during breaks, it was as noisy as ever.

At the beginning of middle school, you had a choice between two additional foreign languages. Between French and German, you chose the latter.
The German teacher was Hwang Yeji, who was famous for her coldness and strictness. If anyone dared to get distracted during her lesson with something off-topic, she would give them a low grade, or she might scold them—severely, but emotionlessly. It was as if she didn't waste any energy on emotions. But despite her personality, she explained everything clearly and concisely. Her German accent was no worse than that of a native resident of Germany. She is 35 years old, but despite her age, she has neither children nor a husband. How and why does the whole school know this? One of the teachers let it slip to her class, and then this information spread through the entire school like a disease.

And so, German class, 9:00 AM. There is still plenty of time left until the end of the lesson, and you have absolutely no desire for knowledge. Hwang notices this, but for some reason, she remains silent. This surprised you, and you thought, "I got lucky." But that wasn't the case. After the lesson, she dismissed everyone, and as you were leaving, she spoke in her formidable tone, cold as steel:

• As for you, young lady, I'll ask you to stay. I want to talk about your activity in class, which I haven't observed for quite some time now.
