This isn't the school I wanted.

4. Cigarettes and candy

W. Did you bring the dragonfly?








A Brief Look at Peaceful Economics and Choi Soobin


Subin, a student at Gwatop, scheduled for a personal interview with a professor.



Knock knock-!

"Hello, Professor. I have something to tell you first. I have no plans to go to graduate school. In fact, after I graduate, I plan to prepare for the civil service exam. I'm sorry, but I'll be leaving now."



"So, are you thinking about going to graduate school?"

"Fuck..."




Subin remembered the cigarettes he had quit six months ago.
Yeah.. I'm holding it in for my health. Subin barely held it in the hallwayI pulled out a Let's Be from the drink machine. With a thud sound.The drink came out. Yeah, you're my only source of energy.






"Hey, senior Subin!"

"..the heroine?"

"I came to eat at the cafeteria and stopped by for a bit. I didn't expect to run into you right away."

"Our school cafeteria...it must be tasteless."

"Yes, I'm never going to eat it again."

"You should have eaten well. Aren't you having an audition for our club today?"






I knew there were over 50 applicants.

Soobin's already tight schedule made her feel dizzy and she sighed at the thought of having to audition.

If I quit smoking, I'll just die from stress first.

At the moment I was thinking that, the female protagonist took out a candy from her pocket and handed it to me.




"Eat well, starting with your seniors - eat candy whenever your blood sugar drops!"

"..Oh, thank you"




Funny enough, I no longer think about cigarettes.

Subin's ears turned a little red.





**********



Thanks to my seniors' consideration, I was the first to audition for the club.

As I was about to leave after giving a loud greeting, Beomgyu, who had been watching with interest, stopped me as I was leaving.

"Hey, the welcome party is tomorrow at 7 o'clock. Congratulations on passing the exam."

"...What? So suddenly?"

"I used up my friend's chance"

“I told you there was no such thing!!”

"I just made it"






I was speechless.. Thank you! I bowed and left.

Yeah, it's been exactly three weeks since I started going to this school.

I realized that the rumors that the TXT club was famous weren't for nothing.

Just in case, I asked someone who knows about TXT at Moa University.

Why? Going to see their show? It's going to be a total ripoff.

It was to the extent that a person living in Busan said that.

But I passed!

My steps on the way home were light.

(Next day in the club room)





photo


"...I wrote it all down"

"Hyung, are you finally done writing your presentation script?"

"No? I said I already wrote the resignation form."




Today, in the peaceful TXT East, there were only Soobin and Beomgyu. While Soobin was making jokes about dropping out, Beomgyu left a KakaoTalk message and muttered, "Oh, Kim Yeoju, you can't find your way, right?"



Bam-!





"Hello, seniors-"

"Hey, you're here? Let's go out."

"Why are you leaving right after you get here? I'm going to go see the East."

"Ugh, there's nothing to see..."





Beomgyu followed Yeoju around, his voice trembling. The club room was filled with a mattress Yeonjun had recently purchased with his own money, scattered sheet music, a long sofa, and a whiteboard.

And the practice room connected to the East was filled with only musical instruments, so there was nothing to see, just like Beomgyu said.

"Yeonjun hyung, we're leaving now, let's go too."

"I'm drinking moderately today."

"You shouldn't force yourself to drink."

"You know what I mean, senior."

"...It's not that bad?"






KakaoTalk, KakaoTalk, Kakao, KakaoTalk, KakaoTalk





Suddenly, the alarm went off like crazy and we all looked at our phones. What was it?





photo








"Senior Yeonjun, didn't you get ripped off? I have to go quickly."

"No, I'm sure he's getting my number."

"..What? Then it's not a big deal."

"This is serious. If you can't refuse, let's go quickly!!!"





As if agreeing with Beomgyu’s words, Soobin also grabbed me.
I ran like crazy. No, wait a minute... You guys have long legs...

Arrived quickly running In front of the bar, everyone could see Yeonjun studying fashion, and in front of him, a woman was being unreasonable and pushing him forward.

Oh my... I met a strong person.





photo


"You can't do this to me..."


"I told you, let's just be friends. You don't even have a girlfriend! Just give me your number!"

The woman was advancing so fast that I felt like I was about to kiss her for real. At that moment, I didn't know what was going on in my mind, but my body suddenly moved forward.

"What are you doing to my boyfriend right now?"

"..? What is it, boyfriend?"

"Brother!! I told you I'd lose if you took your eyes off me one more time. Didn't I?"




photo


".....did......it"

"But why are you standing here? Why don't you come quickly? Do you want to break up?"

"Uh... no! I'm sorry... I'll slap you!"

"Cheeks? Oppa, you're going to get a really hard slap in the face today."

"That's right, you need to get your teeth checked too. Are you hungry? Let's go in quickly."

I tried to pretend to be her girlfriend, but we started to get on each other's nerves.

I was on the verge of being caught, but the woman looked back and forth between Yeonjun and me, then said, "Huh!" and left.

"No... why are you interfering there, heroine?"

"Yeonjun oppa said he couldn't refuse..."

"But what if you pretend to be my girlfriend starting tomorrow!..."

Subin felt dizzy.

I already have a headache thinking about the posts that will be posted on the community tomorrow.

'Is it true that Paddy and Choi Yeonjun are dating a freshman in the music department?'

"Are Sil-eum and Kim Yeo-ju dating Yeonjun Sunbae? Anonymous!"

'I just saw Yeonjun and Kim Yeoju going to a motel in front of the school. Haha. Anonymous.'

Yeonjun hyung can't even refuse women who approach him

I haven't even addressed these issues. I'm the type of person who doesn't really care when I see ridiculous posts popping up.

It was obvious that only Kim Yeo-ju would be hurt.

"Senior Subin?"

"..uh?"

"What's going on tomorrow?"

"No, let's go in and have a drink."

Hey, can I have a cigarette?

In the end, I headed to the convenience store with my hair messed up.

"I keep worrying about it..."
