"Moonbyul. There's a student council meeting today."
There was a person who called my name when he saw me sleeping face down. That person's name is Kang Seul-gi, a second-year vice-principal and my best friend. Since I am a vice-principal, Seul-gi, who is a vice-principal, is often next to me.
She helps me out. Seolgi has been a great help to me, especially since I'm both vice president of the student body and a professor at the same time.
"I'm so sleepy right now. Could you please participate as vice president instead?"
“Are you crazy? No matter what, that’s impossible.”
I never imagined I would become like this. Originally, I had no interest in being student body president or vice president. However, I was pushed into it by my friends, and many people and professors recommended me to be vice president. Even the professors told me not to, so I had no choice but to run for vice president, and I was elected vice president by a huge margin.
"...When is the meeting?"
"The student body president said to meet at 4:30 PM."
The student council is a gathering of many people.
It is an important event as it is attended by the president, vice president, etc.
I couldn't miss it even if I wanted to. I thought that this time, they were probably having a meeting related to the event.
"Please, I hope you don't wear a suit this time..."
"I think the juniors would like to see Moonbyul in uniform?"
"I guess the student body president will tell us to wear our uniforms again this time..."
Because our university has such a diverse range of departments, there are times when we have to wear our respective department uniforms to events. Honestly, I wasn't happy with the student body president's decision. Since the president was the one who decided that we had to wear our department uniforms to events, I couldn't voice any objections.
"Senior, you were here?"
My name is Hyejin Ahn, a second-year student who calls me her senior.
The person coming towards Hyejin from behind was Jeong Hwi-in, a second-year student in the department. He said that he had been looking for me. Surely, something couldn't have happened, right?
"Huh? You were looking for me?"
"Sister! It's chaos now!!"
Before I knew it, Wheein was next to Hyejin and she called me her older sister.
He called out in an urgent voice, "There's chaos." I wondered who, who, was causing the trouble. I was already tired and about to go to sleep, but it was just at this moment that trouble always broke out.
"Okay, okay, Moonbyul, let's go!"
"Ha, Kang Seul-gi, I'll see you later."
I followed Wheein to the place in question and the situation
I heard the explanation, and it seems like the person who caused the commotion was a senior in his 4th year. And I vaguely heard from Wheein that he was waiting for me in the gym.
"Senior, here you are."
"Oh, yeah."
When I opened the gym door and went in, there was a woman standing in the middle of the gym holding a bouquet of flowers, which meant she had been waiting for me, while the others just watched. From what I heard from Wheein, she kept yelling at me to bring Moonbyul in quickly, and that she had made the gym unusable.
"Star, star! Come to work!"
"Ha, yes."
"I've liked you before, please accept my heart!"
The woman offered me a bouquet of flowers. "You should have researched me more before giving me anything. You only gave me the things I dislike the most."
“Senior, I appreciate your feelings, but I cannot accept that confession.”
"..."
"Anyone here who isn't going to use the gym, please leave."
At my words, the people left the gym. A fourth-year senior said nothing, but then suddenly, as if he was overcome with irritation, he lunged at my face with a sharp object. Fortunately, I dodged, but I was slightly scratched and bled. I didn't panic, and quickly subdued the senior.
"I hate confessing in public places like this, and I don't really like flowers. If you liked me, you should know a lot about me."
"..."
Still, the senior didn't say anything. The juniors stared at me with sparkling eyes. I'd already texted the student body president. I roughly wiped the scratch on my cheek with my hand and went back to Wheein and Hyejin.
"Sister, there's a band here!"
"Oh, it's okay. It just brushed against me."
"Ugh! No, I'm not okay."
I waved my hand to say it was okay, but Wheein didn't back down from what I said and kept telling me to put the bandage on, so I had no choice but to put the bandage on she gave me. I thanked Wheein and looked at my phone.
'There are 10 minutes left until the meeting.'
"You guys will come to the meeting too, right?"
"of course!"
"We have a meeting in 10 minutes, so let's go to the student council room."
Hyejin answered my question with a booming voice, "Of course." She seemed delighted, probably because she knew she'd be talking about this event. I texted Seolgi.
- I'm on my way to the student council room with the second-year students right now...
Before I knew it, I'd arrived at the student council office. When I opened the door, everyone was already seated. With only three minutes left in the meeting, it seemed almost everyone was already seated. As the three minutes ticked by, the student council president finally spoke.
"Okay, let's start the meeting."
"How will you proceed with this event?"
I prayed and prayed in my heart. I prayed that I wouldn't have to wear a uniform for this event. Seolgi asked what kind of event we were hosting. Others were offering various suggestions to the student body president. The student body president, perhaps uncomfortable with my lack of input, asked me questions in return.
I planned most of the previous events, and students and professors asked who planned them and gave me countless compliments, saying I did a great job. You're probably curious about my opinion.
"What is the Vice President's opinion?"
I planned all the previous events, but this time I was too tired to even say I couldn't do it. So I had no choice but to offer my opinion. I just blurted out whatever came to mind.
"I personally think it would be a good idea to hold this event over two days and do something different so that people other than students at this school can experience each department."
“Why did you think so?”
"As I just said, I thought it would be nice to try something different, and I thought that a university event would be a good way to spend time with family."
Others were surprised that my opinion was so well-received. "Oh, I made a mistake. I unknowingly went into too much detail. Do you think this idea will be accepted? If I go that far, I might actually die."
"Good, let's go with that."
"Yes? Wait a minute."
“Are you going to wear a suit this time too?”
"Yes, of course."
Seolgi cut me off, she cut me off on purpose.
"That kid knew I was here. Look at him deliberately cutting me off?"
So, my final opinion was adopted, and the meeting was over. I was about to leave, but the student body president called me from behind, so I turned around.
"Yes, what is it?"
"I have something to say, so please stay here for a moment."
"yes."
I'm already tired, why are you doing this to me?
And so I had no choice but to follow the student body president's words.
I thought you might be talking about my adopted opinion,
But my expectations were wrong.
“First of all, since I’m older, can I speak informally to you?”
"Oh, yes. Student body president, do whatever you want."
"Then I'll call you Star."
"Ah...yes..."
"Byeol, you can call me whatever you want."
This is senior Kim Yong-seon suddenly asking if it is okay to speak informally.
People say that Senior Yongseon is cold, but when he's with me, he's not that cold. I think people are mistaken. When we talk face to face like this, he's actually a nice person.
"yes"
"Actually, I was wondering what to do about this MT..."
“Won’t the student council have a meeting about that later?”
"Actually, the professors told me to decide..."
"How many nights are you going to stay?"
"I'm going to stay for 2 nights and 3 days, and I've already decided on a location.
I don't know what to do during the event.."
Our university sometimes has a two-night, three-day trip once a year, and sometimes a one-night, two-day trip twice a year. What first-year students are probably looking forward to is the MT.
"Then, let's go take a picture."
"Be more specific."
"First, I think it would be fun to make groups of six people, mix all the grades, give each group a camera, and then have them take pictures and post them on the school bulletin board or somewhere like that, and then have them take the ones they want."
"I think I did well to call you."
"If you like me, you should know about me."
