I think not just the recent test scores but their grades all through high school
Jiwook: Seungeon... must've got good grades this time, sir
Teacher: Of course, he's the first rank after all ever since he got in high school until now
That's what I think after I read this part anyway...
You have a point wow
please please be it
Yea, no I agree. They've been taking the test scores from actual good students but I also think the seme is unaware.
Yo I think the teacher switched their test scores (to get on the seme's good side) so that the uke who actually scored high got the lower grade.
