"Wow, it's crazy late!"
Hey, where did this guy go without waking me up...
March, the spring of the new semester, a day everyone's heart flutters with excitement, dawned. Why did I oversleep on such a day?
I quickly changed into my school uniform, wrapped my bangs, and went out to the living room. Thinking I should have something to eat, I went to the kitchen, where I found a note left on the table.
"Hey, heroine, I have to leave first because of student council. I don't know if I'll be able to wake up, but if I do, I'll eat some toast and see you at school."
Just wake me up and go...
I left the house in a hurry, a piece of toast in my mouth.
There was only one bus that went from my house to the school, and it was moving further and further away from me.
"Uh... Wait a minute!"
Oh my... If I miss this, I'll be completely late..! The interval between trains is a whopping 20 minutes!!
I panicked and started chasing the bus, but it suddenly stopped on the road. I inwardly shouted "nice" and quickly climbed onto the bus. As soon as I got on, I was met with a barrage of stares, and I paused for a moment.
"Wow... you're so damn pretty."
"This is crazy handsome..."
"Hey, are we going to school?"
"Wow, why is this my first time seeing you? You're so pretty."
I got on the bus with a sense of pride as I heard people whispering to me.
As expected, Yoon Yeo-joo's popularity hasn't died yet!
Thanks to that, I was able to get to school on time and find my new class.
Class 6, Grade 2... Nice! It's on the first floor haha
Entering the classroom, I realized it was completely empty, contrary to my expectations. It was packed, as if everyone else had arrived. Then, I heard familiar voices, and I averted my eyes, wondering if it could be true.
"Wow, our Jju! Are you in the same class as me again?"
"Yoon Yeo-ju!"
"Wow... In the same class again?"
" under... "
I was speechless when I saw the four people occupying the back seat by the window and the seat in front of it, and was dragged away by Sunyoung who ran towards me.
Speaking of these four, they've been close friends since they were very young. It was Soonyoung who first spoke to me when I was playing alone at the playground, and thanks to her, I made four friends all at once.
But, I've been in the same class with these guys for two whole years since last year... I think this is a bit wrong.
"Baby... I'm dreaming, right? Am I right?"
"Our destiny is like a dream!"
"Sit down and don't be a jerk."
I wondered where I should sit, and sure enough, it was the third row, by the window, in front of Jeoksi and the others. I sat down, clutching my bag and burying my face in it. Soonyoung, sitting behind me, was happily pushing her desk against my chair.
"Juya, you don't like it..?"
"No, it's good, but... I want to make some other friends too."
"I'm happy with everything as long as I have a female lead haha"
You have a good fortune from the start.. ^^
Since it was the first day, there was no separate class and the teacher leisurely left the class, telling the students to spend time getting to know each other.
I looked around to see if there were any friends I could become friends with, and it seemed like everyone was already friends I had made in my first year, so it was noisy as if it was recess.
"I'll be able to eat with Yeoju again! Haha"
" ... I want to make new friends too."
"Friend? One of us is enough for me, Yeoju."
I searched with my eyes burning to see if there really was any new friend I could make, no matter what they were talking about behind my back.
"Hahahaha, that's why you should have given up earlier."
"Ha... I want a girlfriend too..."
"I'll be your girlfriend. Oh my! Hello, heroine~?"
Lee Seok-min, this is really a joke...
No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find anyone who seemed like they'd approach me. So, today, I ended up in the cafeteria with them. Oh, and before that, I had to kill Lee Seok-min, who was pretending to be a woman.
"Is Lee Seok-min really crazy? LOL"
"Ha... you're behind."
"Oh no! I'm sorry, heroine!"
I punched Seokmin in the shoulder and grunted, and he rubbed the spot where I'd been hit and burst into laughter. Feeling drained of energy and hungry, I decided I needed to eat something quickly, so I happily accepted the food.
"Ah, meat meat~"
"If it's delicious, should I give you some for me?"
"Sigh, I guess our Yeong-i is the only one left ㅜㅜ"
I didn't know what was on the menu for today's meal, so I was thrilled to see the meat on display as I was served. I quickly sat down and stuffed it into my mouth. Soonyoung, who was next to me, offered me hers, and I patted her head and thanked her.
"Are you guys going to do some palm tree stuff? After school."
"I... probably won't?"
"I'm not going to do it! I'll do it in the second semester."
"Why, you're not going to do it again?"
"Yeah, I'm not going to go to college anyway since my career path isn't focused on studying, so why bother?"
I didn't really have a specific dream, but it definitely wasn't about studying. I was so determined that if that didn't work out, I'd go into entertainment or beauty, so I didn't study at all.
"But will our school have students who don't go to college?"
"So, it's a school with a bit of a reputation."
"Yoon Yeo-ju can't go because her first semester student ID is already empty."
"Jeon Won-woo... Do you really have to blow the pack like that?"
"That's right, I told you to take care of your grades, but you said you wouldn't. While we were all registering for classes, you were playing games right next to me."
"I don't even know my after-school ID or password, and I lost the paper they gave me with it written on it."
At my words, the kids all froze, their chewing frozen solid. But since this was reality, I shrugged and eagerly snatched Sunyoung's meat.
The first day of school had been a tough one, and the thought of starting class tomorrow made me already hate coming to school. Since Wonwoo, the class president, was waiting for us to clean up, there were only a few students in the school, and we trudged our way out.
As I was walking down the hallway to get to the center, someone ran towards me from afar, and I frowned to see what it was, when a huge, tall figure came towards me.
"Hey, what is that..?"
"Blood, should I avoid it?"
"There's space next to Yoon Yeo-ju, so what?"
"But why does it seem like he's running towards the female lead..?"
I held onto Soonyoung's arm tightly, but at the end of Seungkwan's last words, I was dragged around the corner, as if into a black hole. The man who had been running toward me earlier dragged me around the corner, positioned himself against the wall, and then brought his face closer.
" ...?!!! "
" ??????"
" ......?? "
