The sweltering summer had passed, and the new semester had begun. For some reason, I felt like going to school early that day. It was magical, and that day was particularly special.
“Mom, I’m going out!”
“Have a nice trip~”
With my mother seeing me off, I hopped on my bike, carrying a fairly heavy school bag on my back. Unless I'm really late, this is how I usually ride to school.
Of course, it was a new semester and I wanted to prepare early and just ride on the new wave.
I ran and ran so fast that I arrived at school and quickly checked my class. Yeah, I'll probably be alone.
Knock knock,
“As expected, no one came...”
“ … ”
" who is this..? "
A boy with curly, yellow hair...? Or maybe a girl...? Someone was lying asleep next to my desk before the holidays. Their hair was completely...
"It's like fluff.."
"Ugh.. "
There was no other fluffy cat in our house. Yellow and fluffy.
Swish,
Tsdam tsdam,
I keep touching it without realizing it. I know it's our first time meeting and I shouldn't be doing this, but what can I do..!!
And the faintly spreading peach scent somehow tickled my chest. It smelled so good.
At that moment,
“Is it the scent of chocolate..?”
“ ..!! “
I was startled by the sudden low-pitched sound, as if I had woken up, and I quickly took my hand off the hair I was touching.
at that time,
widely,
"..!! G..that's "
“Chocolate. That’s right.”
“ … ”
Heart pounding,
Heart pounding,
After those words, the child fell back asleep, hunched over at the desk. I quietly walked over and sat down at my desk. My face, which had been flushed for no reason, cooled, and I wondered what was going on.
Because I've never seen a kid like this before vacation. Besides... no matter how much autonomy they have these days, this kind of yellow hair is a violation of school rules.
It's not even a fly... why is my hair like this
As time passed, his friends came into the classroom one by one, and everyone seemed to be wondering about this kid. Even though he was a transfer student, he was sleeping so peacefully in his new classroom!
After a while,
Knock knock,
“Okay, everyone, take your seats now.”
" yes ~ "
"Is it because vacation's over? Everyone looks like they're about to die."
“ … ”
“But there is a new face in our class, so don’t be too disappointed.”
” … “
“The transfer student said he was definitely coming today...”
at that time,
widely,
” ..!! “
"..I'm here"
The little boy suddenly woke up and raised his hand, and the teacher seemed very surprised to see the transfer student for the first time.
No matter how I look at it, I can tell that it's our Bokseul's style.
“Uh..uh! So, do you want to come out and say hello to the kids and then go in?”
" .. yes "
Every time the boy trudged toward the podium, the children's gazes seemed to shift. Their once curious faces now simply seemed to ask, "What's that strange guy?"
Swish,
“.. Yoon Jeong-han.”
“Yoon..Jeong..Han”
So your name isn't Bokseul after all? But your voice is higher than I thought...? I think it was quite low earlier.
“Is it over..?”
" .. yes "
"Ahaha.. Is there anyone who is curious about Jeonghan~?"
It felt like everyone was just trying to be cautious. Who would act like that on the first day of the new semester?
at that time,
Swish,
“Me, me!”
“Oh, that’s right, Seung-kwan.”
“.. It’s him after all”
Seungkwan Boo, who was famous for being the most mischievous person in our class, raised his hand as expected, and in an instant, all the eyes of the class were focused on the transfer student and Seungkwan Boo.
“Why did you transfer?”
“ … ”
"Forced transfer? Something like that?"
".. Ha Seung-kwan.. "
As expected, it seems like no one can break the habit of being a troublemaker.
at that time,
"Oh. Right."
” ..?!! “
No, what does that mean now?
"Crazy"
"I was forced to come here."
"This is really crazy.."
I'm going to have to come out to a forced transfer... Anyway, if I do that...
The kid who was transferred by force was scratched and stroked like that..?!
Go die, Kim Yeo-ju.
At Yoon Jeong-han's single word, the entire classroom erupted in a frenzy, and everyone seemed preoccupied with observing. Of course, I tried my best to avoid eye contact with him...
Break time,
“Sigh... I’m going crazy.”
“Did you see that I just said it was a forced transfer?”
“I was so scared at that time I thought I was going to die...”
“..it didn’t look that bad”
" what? "
“Ah.. no”
Yeah, how can you judge someone based on a first impression? With that face, they could be doing something bad. And it's even more unrealistic that that face also has a good personality.
at that time,
“Hey, come here.”
“..?!! N..me?”
“Can’t you see my fingers?”
“Ah.. yeah”
Yoon Jeong-han pointed at me from a considerable distance, telling me to follow him. I tried to pretend not to notice, but his finger was pointed right at me.
In the end, I threw the chocolate chips I was eating into the trash and quietly followed him. Well, that was something I shouldn't have done at first sight...
Behind the school,
“ … ”
“ … ”
I followed you quietly to the back of the school, but why didn't you say anything after calling me? By the way, where on earth have you been looking around like that?
Are you looking for something?
Okay, I'll just apologize first and run away.
" excuse me..! "
“ ..? ”
“I’m sorry about this morning...”
At that moment,
“Ta-da! Surprise~”
“ ..??? ”
What the hell is this guy doing..?
He smiled so brightly and told me it was a surprise. He was glaring at me with such a scary expression earlier...?
“I called you here separately because I wanted to get to know you better.”
" uh..? "
"You're my partner. Didn't you mean you wanted to be friends with me when you stroked my head earlier?"
“Huh..? Huh..?”
Oh my god, he's even crazier. Is this all because of that reason?
“Let’s be friends from now on. Let’s be friends.”
“Yeah..what”
It seems like there's absolutely nothing good about being on bad terms with a friend who transferred schools by force, so it's better to be good.
“Oh, this is a gift!”
“ ..?? ”
Swish,
“This is chocolate chip..!”
I don't know if he's figured out my tastes yet, or if it was just a coincidence, but he bought my favorite snack from our school cafeteria. This kid is my friend who got accepted...?
“I thought you really liked chocolate.”
“Oh, how did you know..?”
“Just.. by feeling!”
" uh..? "
" anyway ! "
” … “
Swish,
“Please take good care of me, my partner.”
” … “
I think it was from this time that a faint peach scent began to spread around me.
