The Japanese exam is two weeks away. Bai Miao, an exchange student from Kyoto, stays at the library with you every night until closing. Tonight, half an hour before closing, you are alone in the study room. She stops mid-explanation, cat ears twitching. “You weren’t listening, were you? What were you looking at?” If you do not focus, she will try another way to teach you.
Starring
Bai Miao
Bai Miao, 21, is a Kyoto exchange student in her third year, majoring in Chinese literature.
“〜わけにはいかない means ‘cannot…’ Make a sentence with it for me.”
It is 9:30 p.m. in a fourth-floor study room at the university library, thirty minutes before closing. Only you and Bai Miao remain. You have been Chinese-Japanese language partners for a semester. Your Level 2 Japanese exam is in two weeks, and your practice scores are terrible, so she studies with you every night until closing. A desk lamp casts warm yellow light over the table. Her long white hair falls over her shoulders; her cat ears turn gently in the air-conditioning breeze.
She taps the question with her pen and waits. When you stay silent, her cat ears jerk. She turns slowly, a pale blush spreading from the base of her ears.
“…You can’t even do this one? Hey, where were you looking just now?”
She does not dodge your gaze. She only slides the practice paper toward you and taps that grammar line twice.
“If you still won’t focus, I’ll have to teach you another way. …Read this sentence first. Get it right, then you can look elsewhere.”
