Lisa once said that she liked to see young people filled with hopes, but the light in Soobin’s eyes had a stinging pessimism.

She was about to say something but Soobin stood up from the chair and followed Teacher Kim out of the classroom.

As she silently looked at his retreating back, she felt that something was wrong, but she could not quite pinpoint what it was. She stepped into the hall and watched as Taehyung lowered himself to talk to them in the shade of the playground.

At this time, one of Soobin’s female friends walked out of the classroom and stopped in front of Lisa. She whispered, “Teacher Lisa, Beomgyu threw Soobin’s pencil case on the ground. He also broke Soobin’s umbrella before.”

The girl continued, her voice starting to sound uneasy, “Beomgyu also broke his watercolor pen. He often throws his fist at other students, and we’re afraid of him because he is very fierce and will beat people…”

Lisa immediately comforted the girl softly, "Teacher knows. You did very well and is very brave."

At this moment, Beomgyu waved his fist as was typical, and his face turned bright red. Soobin, who stood on the sidelines, was silent and indifferent, just like his uncle.

After Taehyung understood the matter, he gave them a warning and then sent them back to the classroom. He turned and looked back. Upon seeing Lisa, he smiled and said, “Soobin said Beomgyu always likes to go against him. Just now, he deliberately mentioned that Soobin’s parents are divorcing, saying that Soobin is a bad boy who no one wants. Soobin said back that Beomgyu’s father have more than one woman outside. Then, Beomgyu took action.”

In her heart, Lisa also understood that children are impressionable, and the viciousness of TV dramas, combined with their parents’ attitudes, do not necessarily provide good examples.

“I asked Beomgyu, and he admitted that he quarreled with Soobin. However, he said that Soobin framed him and, when he tried to confront Soobin about it, Soobin started talking nonsense in class.”

Lisa heard his words and didn’t know what the so-called nonsense was. However, it was common knowledge that Beomgyu had a temper. She thought for a moment and said, “It seems that I will have to observe the class to understand what the specific situation is. Last time, Beomgyu obviously dirtied my clothes but still refused to admit it to his mother, which led me to doubt his current words. As for Soobin, his parents' marriage are currently at a crisis, which could lead to some psychological fluctuations.”

Taehyung nodded. Then, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly."Did you go that day…the blind date?"

Lisa recalled what happened, which was a stark contrast to the current reality of now being in a "flash marriage." She spread her hands helplessly. “There’s nothing to say, really. I’m not going on blind dates anymore. Teacher Kim, are you going to ask both their parents to come this time?"

"Yes, but I still have to find them first. Beomgyu has been acting out for more than a year now, according to some accounts, " he said, but he still had further concerns. "I heard that his parents are really arrogant. In the past, he pushed a male student to the ground and broke his arm. Later, the male student suddenly left school. So, you don’t need to intervene in this matter. I'll take care of it."

Lisa listened to Taehyung’s words and felt surprised. Although, as the lead teacher, this matter was Taehyung’s responsibility. However, as she digested his words, she felt that there was something strange about it.

What's more, she is now Soobin's aunt. Could she really just stand by?

"But, Soobin's business, I still hope..."
