Chapter. 2 - Big Thing

During lunchtime, the P.T. teacher would distribute meals and fruits to everyone. A small orange was today's fruit.

Little Lisa quickly cleared the meal on her plate. And afterwards, she peeled the small orange and began to eat it.

Jungkook couldn't help but watch his little tablemate. Her cute cheeks bulged when she ate, almost like a small animal.

After finishing their meal, it was naptime for the children.

When Jungkook awoke, his little tablemate was still sleeping and laying on her side. She didn't wear the school uniform. Instead, she wore a white, long-sleeved, ruffled shirt. Her sleeves wholly concealed her little arms, but she slept in a manner that her left hands slightly exposed. Then Jungkook noticed the many scars on the back of her hands and wrist. Some were old, and others were scrapped off, which revealed her blood red flesh.

Jungkook thought that he had been mistaken. He carefully pulled up her sleeves, which revealed even more scars, which marred her arms. They didn't seem to be nature either.

His classmate slept tranquilly on her stomach. Her small body appeared very frail.

With ire in his heart. Jungkook stood up carefully, and walked away from the table.

Teacher Lee, who was napping, was abruptly shook and awoken. "Teacher Lee!"

When Teacher Lee opened her eyes, she saw Jungkook.

"What's wrong Jungkook. Why aren't you sleeping?"

With a grave expression on his face, Jungkook asked, "Teacher Lee, do you know about my tablemate's family?"

Teacher Lee frowned, "What's wrong?"

"I suspect that her family is abusing her". Jungkook's expression became more grave, as if his archenemy had appeared before him. "Her hands are covered with scars".

Teacher Lee felt a headache after understanding what was going on. She considered Jungkook's character and decided to tell him, "Jeon Jungkook, I know you're a smart child, so I'll tell you, but don't say anything to the others".

"Little Lisa was severely abused by her parents. Her parents were later sentenced to prison and she was put into an intensive care unit. But none of her relatives wanted to care for her. Her current father is a doctor in the hospital and after his wife found out, she cared for Lisa daily. Gradually, she recovered. They decided to adopt Lisa, since the couple had no children of their own. Don't tell anyone about this, okay?"

Jungkook froze and then nodded.

When he returned to the classroom, he saw that his little tablemate had already woken up. He looked at her with pity. Children, who endured hardship, will shine brighter in the future.

The first graders were young. During afternoon's last class, Teacher Lee came back and said, "Kids, don't worry, your parents will pick you up soon okay".

She and Sister Bae have been good friends. They always talked about how they would be parents in the future. Some time ago, she went abroad to study and neglected to visit Lisa.

When it was time to go home, Little Lisa recalled what her aunt told her. She reached for the packet of dried meat in her schoolbag. She didn't share it with anyone.

She felt a pang of anxiety. She failed to share it with anyone. She failed to befriend anyone. When she returned home, would her aunt feel like she had raised an awful, disobedient daughter?

Her small hands clenched and squeezed the dried meat in her hands. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She wanted to share the dried meat with somebody.
