I tossed and turned and woke up to the piercing sound of the alarm.
The dazzling sunlight flowing through the window
like It shone even brighter on me, as if telling me to wake up.
My eyelids felt heavy.
Rubbing my eyes wildly before they were even fully open
I turned off the loudly ringing alarm.
I wrapped my soaking wet hair in a towel and headed to my room.
Putting on school uniforms one by one over my still damp body
I sat in front of the dressing table.
After finishing basic skincare
I roughly squeezed sunscreen onto my face.
As I slung my schoolbag over my shoulder and headed to the shoe rack
My mom, who was in the kitchen, urgently grabbed me.
“Wait, wait! Just eat this and go.”
Before I even had a chance to panicA piece of gimbap squeezed into my mouth.
I'll be back.
After greeting with slurred pronunciationI set out on my way to school.
Just as I was about to enter the narrow alley, the optimal shortcut
A familiar silhouette crossed in front of me.
broad shoulders and tall height
It was Hwang Hyun-jin.
With a rather tired-looking face
I put AirPods in my ears.
Carried by the wind, tickling the nose
The strange smell of soap made me feel dizzy.
Hwang Hyun-jin's slightly wet hairEvery time I lightly shake it
The soft scent became even stronger.
It was as if the narrow alley was trapping the scent.
Hwang Hyun-jin walking slowly forward
Unable to bring himself to overtake, he walked as if chasing after him.
With a huge back as if to show off
It's blocking the narrow alley right in the middle.
There was no way to get out of the way.
As soon as I came out of the alley, I quickly overtook Hwang Hyun-jin.
Hwang Hyun-jin, seeing the sight of someone hurrying their steps with short strides,
He glanced at me and then shifted his gaze back to his phone.
Whether Hwang Hyun-jin overtakes me or not
Still walking slowlyI walked while keeping an eye on my phone.
Two student disciplinary officers were in front of the school gate
He was standing there leisurely.
My eyes were drawn to a tissue bag held in a teacher's hand.
Avoiding the teachers' eyes
The skirt rolled upThe road was unraveled.
“Hey, stop right there.”
I thought I had barely managed to avoid the teachers' eyes, but
In the end, I ended up getting caught.
“Aren’t you going to hurry up? It’s 2 penalty points.”
He let out a sigh mixed with annoyance.
After overtaking the two teachers, I instinctively turned around.
Deep down, I wondered if Hwang Hyun-jin would receive penalty points for being late.
However, contrary to my imagination
The student disciplinary committee teachers did not stop Hwang Hyun-jin.
I was puzzled
Even though Hwang Hyun-jin and I are students at the same school
I couldn't understand why I was the only one getting penalty points.
Me, standing there with a bewildered expression
It whizzed past as if to tease me.
