When I saw the interview results, I was a bit surprised. I thought I'd just blurt out random things and fail. The student council list included one freshman boy and one sophomore female senior, so it was a bit easier. Being the only girl in the freshman class, I felt a bit underwhelmed.
The day after I found out I was a student council officer, when I went to school, my classmates congratulated me on being on the student council and told me I was cool.
After first period, during break, I leaned back in my chair, crossed my arms, and took a quick nap when someone knocked on the front door. I opened my eyes to see who it was, and the student council president was standing there.
“Is there a female protagonist?”
"Oh, yes"
Hearing my name, I stood up and walked forward. Student body president Seokjin handed me a notebook, asking me to write down my phone number, and I did.
“Do you have time after school?”
"yes"
"We'll meet after school. After the closing ceremony, come to the student council room. Song Ye-eun is the only one who can come. The administration won't be able to come, but everyone else will."
"yes!"
"See you later then."
After Seokjin-sunbae left, the kids from my class all came running up to me and started making a fuss about how Seokjin-sunbae was speaking to me and how he was being so polite.

“What’s going on in the student council room?”
After the closing ceremony, I went to the student council room, but I was feeling unnecessarily nervous and was hesitating in front. Then, a senior from behind me asked why I was there.
“Uh… Hello, this is Kim Yeo-ju from the design department!”
"Oh, you're Yeoju? I'm Park Jimin. But why aren't you going in and why are you standing here?"
“Ah.. I was going to go in but I was nervous.”
“Ah hahahaha it’s okay let’s go in together”
Jimin-sunbaenim came to me and opened the door, and I went in with him. When I went in, everyone was there except Jimin-sunbaenim and me, and Seokjin-sunbaenim told me to sit where I could, so Jimin-sunbaenim grabbed my wrist and sat me down next to him.
“Hello, Yeoju.”
"hello..!"
“You spoke really well during the interview.”
"thank you!"
The awkward atmosphere was relieved when Vice President Yoon Ki-seon suddenly spoke to me.
After finishing our self-introductions, meetings, and other things, I was about to go home when Taehyung came up to me and started talking to me.
“Which middle school did you go to?”
“Uh… That’s Ami Middle School!”
“Oh really?”
I almost fainted. There was such a handsome senior at our school...? Why didn't he run for office?
I almost got angry, but I held back.
When I looked at Taehyung-sunbae because he didn't leave even after I answered, he had an expression on his face that seemed to say, "Why aren't you asking me?" so I opened my mouth.
“Senior…what about you?”
“I’m bulletproof”
I was avoiding eye contact because I didn't know what to say, but Jimin, who was packing his bags next to me, could clearly see that the child was uncomfortable and asked what he was doing, telling me to hurry and go. He smiled at me and greeted me before dragging Taehyung out.
.

“Hey, she’s so pretty.”
“So, you didn’t pick him just by looking at his face?”
“What did he say during the interview really resonate with me, so I chose him.”
".. Kim Yeo-ju"
- TMI -
1. Yeoju voted for Seokjin during the presidential election.
2. Seokjin, Yoongi, Namjoon, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook have known each other since middle school (but that doesn't mean they were deliberately chosen as student council officers)
3. In the election, there were 641 students in the school, and Seokjin received 372 votes and Yoongi received 269 votes.
4. Stay with me until the end, as there will be an exciting story ahead 🙂
