I’m well aware that I’m not exactly the most well-rounded person.

Because of that, I know my limits and have never been the one to make the first move in any relationship.

Even now, that hasn’t changed. Not once have I ever taken the initiative.

Truthfully, I had forgotten about my birthday too, given how busy I’d been.

Still, to say that I didn’t appreciate the warmth she called a “gift” would be a lie.

Fortunately, it seemed she hadn’t seen that moment from earlier.

Or maybe it didn’t matter even if she had?

Hong Ye-hwa smiled softly and walked over to Teacher Lee.

“Teacher.”
