A day when everything seems to be going well, only to get tangled up again and again. Like a math problem that refuses to yield an answer, no matter how you approach it, nothing seems to work out. Today was one of those days for me.
EP 1. You are an unknown number
Come to think of it, that day wasn't easy from the start. After all, hasn't everyone experienced it at least once? Mishearing the alarm, the water in the shower being too hot, a school uniform button that wouldn't close when you were desperate. Oh, but was it really a flaw that all these things happened at once?
"Mom, I'll be back!!!"
"Eat breakfast and go, you idiot!!!"
"I'm late!! I'll buy some triangle kimbap on the way~!!!"
The school commute was incredibly deserted. This must mean the school day was drawing to a close. When the usually bustling crowd of students disappeared, it was as if the test-taker had set a trap for the already filthy problem. For me, who couldn't stand hunger, having to stop by a convenience store made the problem even more brutal.
Luckily, I picked up my one remaining favorite, the universally loved tuna mayo. "Yes, no matter how dirty the question's intentions are, there should be at least a small hint," I thought as I handed over the card. I realized today's problem was more complex than I'd anticipated.
"Oh my, what should I do, student?
This is something that needs to be disposed of, but I guess I didn't take care of it yesterday~
"It's past its expiration date..."
"... ah..."
Oh, today's solution process is a bit tough.
"I'll choose something else."
"That's because the morning supplies haven't arrived yet...
"What should I do, student, when there's nothing left?"
"......"
Wow, even so, this is just too much. It's almost like writing a simultaneous equation and getting a different solution. At that moment, I was getting increasingly frustrated with the examiner who didn't even give me a single condition.
"Excuse me, would you like to have this?"
"yes?"
"I bought it at the convenience store across the street,
I just need a drink."
"Oh, thank you, but still... shouldn't you eat breakfast?"
"It's okay. Take it."
An angel, no, a condition. A condition has appeared.
In this complex and overwhelming problem of today,
That man who will lead me to the right answerconditionthis!!!
