On the day of the broadcast, almost all the
teachers and students in the school watched
the program on the multimedia in their
classes.
I was still forcing Jake to listen to me explain
questions.
Hearing the sound from the stereo, I, who
was still arguing with him, suddenly stopped.
I didn’t move for a long time, and the tip of
the pen stopped on the test paper, smudging
a smear of ink.
“Hey, why are you stopping?”
Jake, who had been resisting me. touched me
casually when he saw this.
“It’s okay.” I put down the pen. “You can go
play.”
Jake scratched his head.
Before, I had tried everything to stop him
from going out to play for the sake of my
conscience.
Now that I was letting him go, he wouldn’t
move.
A boy called him, “Come on, the court is all
taken.”
He turned to look at me.
“Go ahead, I won’t bother you today.” I didn’t

raise my head.
As soon as the words fell, a tear dropped on
the table.
I wiped it away quickly, turning my head away
from him.
“I’m not going.”
He refused his brothers and sat down again.
I propped my cheeks with my hands, not
letting him see my face.
Unusually, he, who always had ADHD, sat in
his seat without saying a word.
Soon, he actually picked up the test paper
and started writing.

He didn’t know how hard I was holding back
my laughter.
Sad?
No, no, that family couldn’t do anything to me
anymore.
But I could use it to emotionally blackmail
Jake!
Before long, he lightly touched my arm.
I hurriedly pretended to wipe away my tears
and turned my head, “What’s wrong?”
He carefully observed my eyes and pushed
the test paper over:

“I don’t know here…”
I almost burst out laughing.
