Chapter 16
Dongsu, listening to Suhyuk’s math formulas, scratched his head hard. Even an alien language was more comprehensible to him than those math formulas.
“Let me go to the bathroom.”
“Are you going there to smoke a cigarette?”
He smiled awkwardly, saying, “As you know, I’ve been studying for one hour without stopping. It’s time for me to pee…”
“Do not smoke. It disturbs your studying.”
Dongsu made an expression as if he did not care.
“What does a cigarette have to do with studying? If I smoke, it seems like I can focus well,” said Dongsu.
Then Suhyuk replied, “Well, It takes about seven seconds for you to suck your nicotine into the brain. But that’s not the problem. It’s an effect on the brain. That’s the problem. Nicotine blocks the ability to transmit information between brain cells. In other words, you won’t be quick on the uptake. People are mistaken there. They say that as the amount of information perceived is small, their stress will be blown away. That’s addiction. The same applies to people who are affected by second-hand smoke.”
Dongsu was astonished by Suhyuk’s words. He is not only smart but also he knows a lot of things. Of course, there was something really different about a boy who was first in his class like him.
