Who is the sinner?

Preparing for the entrance interview and event?

Phew, I catch my breath and exhale. Of course, the arts high school was also holding additional recruitment anyway. If I go in for the interview, I'll definitely get accepted, right? Isn't that obvious? Even so, my heart began to tremble. Interviews, as expected, are simple yet difficult. But what can I do? I'll just have to face it.

"Hey there, what's going on?"

"Huh? Me?"

"Who else is here besides you, you rascal? Why are you here? It's still vacation time."

Wow, that's scary. You shouldn't be giving off such a scary vibe already. School hasn't even started yet, and I already want to go home. But let's look at his name... Ma... Dong... Seok? Hey, wait a minute. Isn't that the monster who fought an organized crime group with his bare hands as a police officer and wiped them out? Man, if I get caught, I'm going to die.

"I... I, this school..."

"Can't you speak clearly without stuttering?"

The palm goes up. If I bring that down, I'll die...!

"I... I came here for an interview to become a teacher at this school!"

"Oh? Oh... No, if you're so precious, you should have spoken. Why were you just blankly staring at me? I mistook you for someone who came to this school to do bad things. Yes, yes."

"Oh, I should have told you sooner. Sorry..."

"Oh, it's okay. It's okay. You're the math teacher, right? You're the only one interviewing right now, so you'll definitely get in. But why are there so many people hanging around this school these days? I can't just beat them all up.

"Haha, then I'll go in first. Haha..."

"You have to come here, okay?"

I think most of the people loitering around are probably just overwhelmed by Ma Dong-seok's presence. If they get caught, it's death. So why are they loitering around? Could it be that those people came to interview for math teachers and ended up like this... RIP. May they rest in peace.

As I walked, I arrived at the central teachers' office. As expected, even though it's vacation, there were still a few people at school. Seeing the kids diligently staying behind to practice, I felt a shift in my spirit. No, in a way, it was a bit dizzying. What on earth have I been doing all this time?

Then, someone called me.

"Is that Mr. Kim Jong-hyun?"

"Ah... oh, yes!"

He had a cold demeanor and a perfectly tailored suit. Seeing him looking at my resume through his glasses, he was the epitome of chic, yet also a little scary. The thought of this person being my senior... I'm already getting goosebumps. I glanced at his name tag, but it was in Chinese characters, so I couldn't read it...

"My name is on the nameplate, but it's in Chinese characters, so you might have trouble reading it."

"Yes...yes! No, no! I can read it!"

"Oh, wow. I thought you'd be vulnerable to things like this, being a math teacher, but you don't seem to have any weaknesses. So what's your name?"

I'm screwed. I'm starting to roll my eyes. Ah, I don't know many Chinese characters... 姜惠元... The first character is '강'... The second character is '혜' from '은혜'... Oh, and that last character... I don't know!

"Go... Teacher Kang Hye-won!"

"Oh, right. I thought it was a bluff. I read your resume carefully. But we're hiring for an additional position right now, and I applied alone. What do you think will happen then?"

"Uh... yes...!"

"Congratulations. You were accepted. You can come to school starting March 2nd. Oh, and by the way, there's a freshman orientation on February 21st, so get ready."

"Huh...? I'm not a freshman..."

"You're not going to do it?"

His eyes are cold. As if he'd drop me at any moment if I said no. So what can I do?

"Ah... no! I'll definitely prepare it!"

"Hehehe, thank you. I'm looking forward to this stage too~ I'd love to go out there."

I quickly ran out. This time, I passed. As soon as I left, I called Dong-ho. We should share this joy together, right?

'Hey...'

"Hey Dongho, I passed. Let's have a drink together today. I'll pay for everything, even if I don't pay for it, dude!"

"Oh, then can I bring two more classmates?"

"Anything is possible."

"Okay. Then let's have a drink at our usual place today. Call?"

"call."

How long has it been since I received that call...? Suddenly, I felt a surge of worry. My money...? No. It's really a problem.... The problem that Professor Kang Hye-won mentioned earlier...

'Preparing for the freshman celebration.'

.....Ah, I don't know, let's just drink and see!
