Tiring, ringing.—
“Hwaaam... I slept well...”
It's 7 a.m. Today is the long-awaited high school entrance ceremony. Well, I slept too well to say I was nervous.
"Grandma, today is my first day of high school. I'll be back safely, so stay home and watch over me. Okay?"
“Uh huh,”
"Have a nice trip," the grandmother said in sign language.
“Class 7-1 is... here?”
I entered the classroom and sat down by the window. As I looked around the room, feeling awkward, a child approached me with a bright smile.
“Lee Seon-ha, you’re Seon-ha, right? I went to 00 Middle School, remember?”
“By any chance... Park Seo-yoon, is that Seo-yoon?”
"That's right! I was wondering what to do after being separated from all my close friends, but then I ran into you right away. Do you want to go to the store together?"
“Okay, let’s go!”
Knock, knock!
The moment I stood up, all the children's eyes turned to one place. Simultaneously, they all whispered. Who is it?
"uh...?"
“Wow.. he’s really handsome, just like the rumors say.”
“As rumored? Who is he?”
"Don't you know him? He's known for being incredibly handsome. His photos were great, but he's seriously insane in person."
“Yeah. He’s really handsome.”
I was watching a celebrity pass by without realizing it. Then he slowly started walking this way.
“Hello. You’re the guy I met on the day of the preliminary assembly, right?”
“Huh? Oh, uh. That’s right..?”
“Nice to meet you. Let’s be friends.”
Without a single murmur, all eyes were on me and that kid. This... isn't normal, is it?
