Sitting in my staffroom, one of my favourite students comes up to me surrounded by his friends.
Ryu Seok Ryong: Teacher, do you remember I saw you on Sunday?
Me: *Blushes remembering that I was about to go out and was not particularly appropriately dressed for seeing my students* Saturday.
Ryu Seok Ryong: Okay.
Me: Why?
Ryu Seok Ryong: I just wanted to check it was you.
