I Got An A+

"Thanks Mom!". The dark brown haired boy closes the door with his foot, jumping up and down with a big smile on his face. His bag's strap was on his elbow, dangling and the sound of the paper in his hands was heard.

He takes off his shoes in a hurry, throwing his bag away as usual. Picking up his recorder and sitting in his usual spot; beside his bed, down on the brown wooden floor with crossed legs.

He presses the 'play' button and rolls on the floor, his hands on his feet. The boy's excitement and happiness just wouldn't end.

"I got the test backkkkkk! Remember I was telling you about it yesterday and I had to go earlier the past few days because of studying. Guess what happened."

"Yup!! I aced it. I got an A+. I seriously got 93%. I'm so happy. Even though I got 93% right now, I'll work harder and get 100% next time."

"I showed my test to mom and she was so proud. She called dad immediately. Dad said that he's gonna buy some pizza for me. Mom said that she's gonna make my favourite for dinner today. Sashimiiiiiii!!!"

"If you would try it, you'd love it too. I think she makes the best sashimi in the world. My mom's a pretty good cook. Both mom and dad are so proud and happy because of my first test result so I'm happy too."

"I guess I'll keep working hard like this and they'll stay happy with me. I'm thankful to them for so much. Most parents aren't like my parents. I don't know about foreign countries but, in Korea, parents are not like this."

"I wonder.... I wonder if .... you'll run away from me too. If I open up to you. Will you go away too? Please don't leave me, okay?"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! But, I won't take your word just like that. You'd have to pinky promise me."

"He entangled his pinky on a small wire and lightly puts his thumb on one of the buttons of the recorder. The boy's eyes were smiling with sadness but he shook his head and gave a bright smile after looking at the paper in his hands."

"You wanna see my test? Look. There are some mistakes. They aren't major mistakes. I got 93% mostly because of the silly mistakes I did."

"It was my first test here and I was, to be honest, very nervous. You know for teachers, your first test is your first impression. Now my teacher likes me and I'm happy."

"At least the teacher won't degrade me in front of the class or make me tell the answers thinking that I won't know."

"You know I was trying to save the money that mom gives me for lunch but when the result got pinned on the notice board and I saw my name on the top, I was feeling like eating something sweet and I bought some chocolates."

"I actually felt like going to a bakery and buying something on my way back but I went to a park."

"It was quiet and peaceful. It was so nice. I rode a swing and enjoyed the view with the wind blowing softly."

"After an hour I came back home. I thought mom would get worried. I had forgotten my phone home too so I couldn't call her. Speaking of which. I'll find it and enjoy watching some dance videos."

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow then? Great. Bye Mr. tape recorder. Bu Byeee~~~~"

"~° This was Kang Hanjun.13th_February_#### °~"

The excited boy gets up with a hop and keeps jumping around in circles before realising that he hadn't stopped the recording.

He hurriedly gets down on his knees, pressing the 'stop' button, picking the recorder up and hugging it tightly once before putting it back in its place.
