Hyun-sik was sitting there for a moment, till he reached into his backpack to pull out a notebook with his name written on it in Korean Hangul, or Korean characters as it's called. Taking a pencil out of his backpack as well, he opened the notebook to a fresh page and looked at what the teacher was teaching up on the board. He hadn't really learned English that well, and the students around him calling him cute, only made him blush slightly as he was writing down notes in the Korean characters. This was his way of understanding things, and so other people would not be able to copy any of his notes or work. His grandmother had told him that doing this will help prevent him from getting in trouble with cheaters. But what did he know? He barely got here after all. He tried to remain focused on his work, blocking out as much of the whispers around him as possible. He didn't know half of what they were saying, since this class was mixed with the usual types of students.<br/><br/>After writing so much down, he had to massage his own hands for a moment since they were cramping up.<span style="font-style: italic">Man, English class is pretty difficult here in the Americas...</span>he thought, sighing to himself and going back to working. He wrote things in both Korean and English, one so he could read it, and two so he could practice and get better at English. He hadn't spoken at all during the class period, as he wanted to remain silent this hour. It was best for him that way anyways, he didn't want to draw anymore attention to himself than he already was. Slowly though, as he lifted his head from his work, he could have sworn the girl next to him was looking at him. So he slowly turned his head to look at the girl, and her friend for a moment. He didn't say anything, just give a small wave and return to his work.<br/><br/>He wondered what today would be like, with having to deal with new people. All his friends, family, things he actually knew about were back in Busan. Now he had to cope with something completely new to him. How he would manage to grow accustomed to it, is up to him. Sighing, Hyun-sik continued working on the notes and the given assignment for him. For all he cared, he may as well be an ELL student, but the teacher at his old school specifically told him to try the regular English class. He was doing his teacher a favor.
