She throws him a smug look, like the one he usually wears, satisfied by the dismayed expression that has graced his features at last. Victory truly has never tasted so sweet, she thinks.
“Mr. Seo, please use a pen as stated in the instructions. I wouldn’t consider your answer sheet next time.”

And worse, it makes you confront things about yourself that you’ve tried to outrun.
