•|a game of chess|•

cai sat and looked down nervously at the lecture papers on her desk,
she seemed super upset.

Mr.Lee asked the students to get up and submit their assignments,
seo and juhyun half-heartedly submitted it.

even though it didn't carry a lot of credit points, the situation they feared the most was being insulted by LLM,

he had a very derogatory way of pulling
people down and making them feel worthless,

after everyone sat back in their assigned seats,

cai kept a strong face,
trying to hide her apprehension and ready to face the disrespect.

yet seo did not fail to notice that
cai was trying immensely hard to not tear her lips or the skin around her nails and she looked straight at the board.

nothing could be done since
he was one of the head proffessors, and,
he was on the board of the university,

and yonsei law school being one of the most powerful and well known universities,
it was a huge position.

unless the case is of one who is extremely studious or filthy rich,
there is no way of getting admission here.

special treatment was obviously prevalent but not in Mr.Lee's class,and never for the girls.

he looked at the heaps of assignments and started calling out the names who had not submitted in roll.no order,

"aera kim, please stand up, may i know what was the reason you couldn't submit your assignment ?,"

"i completed the first case sir but i had a
part time job w-,"

"what about the other two cases?"

"sir i couldn't finish the other two properly with format,it was a tough case and i d-,"

"i asked for a valid reason kim aera,you are giving me mere excuses,"

the girl stood in silence
and kept her head down,

he chuckled in a way that made most of the students feel uncomfortable
and he walked over to the desk where the chess board was there,

"i was wondering how to explain that every situation in a crime case resembled the roles of the characters on a chess board,"

mr.lee gave a spine-chilling smile ,
"but we have an example right before us,"

he took out the piece of the queen,
"this piece has the highest mobility
but one wrong move
and it's as insignificant as the dust,"

followed by the absence of response he pushed the queens out of the chess board and took out the pieces of the king and he said,

"but everyone is after this one, why?
because it means everything, the game starts and ends with this piece,"

he kept the pieces back and said,
"the queen has a lot of potential but rarely saves the game but the king is always the king,
this is quite similar to what keeps happening here,"

he pointed at aera and said,
"you should be ashamed of yourself,
if you had time to do all that makeup you are wearing and dress up so neatly,
what about finishing an easy assignment??,"
