you were failing maths, and desperately needed a tutor. your maths teacher had assigned hongjoong to be your tutor. you had come to the realisation that he was the quiet kid in class, and apparently got straight A’s for maths. it was 4 pm, and you had your first session with him, and to say you were exhausted from the day would be an understatement,

“do you understand?”

hongjoong shyly asks you after having explained a maths problem you were having troubles with.
