Spring is coming now : Spring

Episode 14: Bad Luck (3)










































Again. As usual, I woke up in the living room, where bottles of alcohol were strewn about. I fell asleep in my school uniform from yesterday, without even a blanket. I even inherited the uniform from my neighbor.

[I really hate it....]

I saw my father sleeping in the living room, smelling strongly of alcohol.
I wanted to kill him. But I couldn't. I was a coward.

I went to the kitchen, washed the few grains of rice I had, and cooked some. It wasn't my meal, it was his. I knew if I didn't prepare it, he'd definitely beat me when I got home.

[It would be fortunate if I just hit him..]

I packed my shabby bag, empty of anything, and headed to school. The reason I was carrying a bag I normally wouldn't even carry was...

I arrived at school. Time passed uneventfully. I went down to the teachers' office and asked my homeroom teacher.

".... I'll take the civil service exam, teacher."

Well, I packed my bag. Gym clothes, textbooks, pen...
The teacher asked if I'd discussed it with my parents. I took out my parental consent form and showed it to them.

"But Yoohan-ah~ I've seen kids like you more than once or twice..."

The useless advice continued. I wrote it down in detail on that annoying white piece of paper, but please don't read it.

[That damn compulsory education system... Don't even let them drop out]
"....Teacher, I will do it."

The teacher, seeing me, closed his mouth, which had been chattering excitedly. He grabbed my hand and, suddenly grasping my emotions, spoke to me as if making a request. All eyes in the staff room turned to me.

[......dirty]

I slapped the teacher's hand away. I smiled faintly, as if it were the last courtesy a student could offer his teacher, and left the teacher's office.





Percussion_!



[...where is the labor agency..]

After leaving the teachers' office, I thought about going to the human resources office.
It's obvious that places like convenience stores and cafes won't accept me... So the answer is either work at a construction site or washing dishes at a restaurant...

Tiringriririring-!

As I was walking down the hallway, the bell rang, signaling lunchtime. I passed by the students who were swarming out. I lowered my head as I heard the sound of shoelaces dragging on the floor. At that moment,

Phew-!

"ah......!"

I bumped into some guy.

"are you okay..?"

The boy reached out his hand and asked if I was okay.

"....Okay. I can get up on my own."

I slapped his hand away and stood up, brushing off my skirt. The girl still felt sorry and took a piece of candy out of her pocket.

"Eat. I heard lunch wasn't very tasty today."

Should I say that I was so shocked... I rushed to the cafeteria so quickly and the lunch was so bad...

"You said the food wasn't tasty, so why did you run so fast?"

I walked past him and out of school. That's all I remember from my school days. It's a time I don't want to remember and I don't want to experience anymore.
