No you're exactly right. This is how I read it aswell.
I read it like that as well
Also didn't he say he was beat up despite doing well?
So I guess he is super smart and Jiwook somehow feels betrayed for not knowing how good Seungeon is.
I was thinking the same
Yep it's obviously that but people want to make it more complicated for some reason (boredom I guess).
You are not wrong, I understood it like that as well.
I'm so confused. People here are saying the teacher switched their grades. Bc SeungEon is from a rich and influential family blub blub I dont think so.
Even in the first chapters I have noticed he never had any books with him or a backpack. When he gave his notebooks to Ji Wook, I thought: well, he is definitely too smart for needing them. And the teacher was very fond of him in the fist chap.
But for me it looks like SeungEon has been always the no1 at school, Ji Wook just didn't know. SeungEon pretended for needing help in some of his subjects. Ji Wook wanted to help and now he feels betrayed and manipulated. He couldnt focus and study properly because of him. Am i wrong here or did i miss something?
