Hidden Love - Ch–2. Past – Classroom

Unknown

Busted, thief.

👂 A sudden voice behind… 🔄 he turns around, but… he's so tall that he has to tilt his head up.

🌞 Through the sunlight… a boy stands there, looking down at them.

Tae (POV)

This is my second time… Looking at him so closely like this. Time does have magic… Drawing us closer — in height, and in distance.

[Past – Classroom]

👦 A little boy sits in class… gazing out the window with a faint smile.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

In the Pythagorean theorem, "a" squared… plus "b" squared… equals… the square of the longest side, "c".

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

TaeHYung!!!

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

Taehyung!!!!

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

What are you staring at?

🪟 Tae stands up from his seat.

Taehyung(13)

Sir! Just now… a mother bird brought back some food for her baby birds. But… two baby birds were fighting for it. Then, the mother bird flew away… and took the food with her. They just stood there… frozen… for like 1 or 2 minutes.

😂 The whole class bursts into laughter.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

Quiet, everyone.

Everyone falls silent.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

Taehyung! Pay attention. Look at the blackboard.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

*paused* Sit down.

😔 Tae sits back down quietly.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

Read… the third question aloud

Class(together): A triangle ABC… with side lengths of 5 cm, 13 cm, and 12 cm.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

Obviously, the longest side is "c". So… how do we get this?

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

The condition says… side length is "a", right-angled triangle…

Tae looks super bored.

😊 ignore background

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

Multiply the base by the height… then divide by two.

✏️ Tae opens his notebook and starts drawing instead.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

See? You’ve got this, right? Next question — Angle 1 equals Angle 2. Angle 3 is 108 degrees.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

TAEHYUNG!

Taehyung(13)

👉 Focused artist mode — “I can’t hear anything.” 😏

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

TAEHYUNG!!! 😠

📣 The teacher’s shout makes Tae flinch. He puts his pen down and stands up.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

Where was I just now?

👀 Tae glances around. *Somebody… please help! 🥲*

👦‍♂️ A friend next to him shows the notebook.

Taehyung(13)

*confidently* Angle 4 equals 72 degrees.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

…I wasn’t there yet. *shook his head*

Taehyung(13)

Oh… where were you just now? *innocent doe eyes*🥺

😂 The whole class laughs again.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

Silence. .......silence!

Taehyung(13)

Angle 1 equals angle 2, so line AB is parallel to line CD. Same-side interior angles are supplementary. So angle 3 is—

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

STOP.

Taehyung(13)

*Speechless*

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

It’s not about this one question… it’s your attitude.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

*paused*

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

Taehyung!!!

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

Tomorrow, ask your parents to come over.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

sit.

😔 Tae sits down quietly again.

Chang Hai Bo(Teacher)

Let’s continue… Angle 1 equals angle 2… meaning these two straight lines are parallel… Interior angles are supplementary… therefore, calculate angle 4.

✏️ Meanwhile, Tae — frowning — draws angrily in his notebook… … and rips the page out with a sharp pull.
