Three weeks have passed since school started. It's already September. The weather is just right, neither too warm nor too cold.
And today, my transfer date was set.
It was planned from the beginning. They just didn't say anything.
Mom and Dad sit me down at the table and talk.
"I'm going next month or the month after, so pack your bags slowly so you can go right away."
"...I'm transferring schools?"
"It was originally planned."
"Why are you reacting like you're hearing it for the first time?"
"Oh, right... I can't transfer schools next month, right?"
"November? Of course. Be sure to say hello to your friends before then."
" yes,... "
"Why are you so tired, daughter?"
"It'll be tiring to live as a man for the remaining year. Let's meet again in a year when you're an adult."
"I want to live the life of a high school girl."
"That's right... a high school girl..."
"I'll go in first."

"Seasoning, didn't you sleep last night?"
"It's a little scary."
"Yeah, I'm a little embarrassed."
"Are you really tired? Get some more sleep now. Your dark circles are no joke."
"It's okay, Sunyoung."
I hadn't slept well the night before, so the dark circles under my eyes stretched all the way down to my chin. Jeon Won-woo, seeing my condition, teased me, and Sun-young took my blanket out of her bag and draped it over my shoulders.
After a short nap, it was already lunchtime. Jeon Won-woo and Kwon Soon-young were sitting next to me and in front of me, munching on triangle kimbap. Seeing me get up, Soon-young offered me the triangle kimbap she was eating and asked, "Want a bite?" I took a big bite.
"Hey, here's some water. Drink slowly."
" thank you. "

'Today's announcement is... there. Don't forget about the school trip in a week. And don't brag about it.'
' That's all. See you tomorrow, everyone. '
"Our homeroom teacher speaks too harshly."
"That's our homeroom teacher's charm, Wonwoo."
"Yeah. That's why it's good."
After the closing ceremony, I packed my bags and left the school. The first-years were already waiting for us in front of the school. Chan-i saw me and ran over, grabbing my arm and coaxing me to go to his dorm room. Seung-kwan joined in. Han-sol just watched silently. Soon-young and Won-woo did the same.
***
The first-year room was utterly filthy. Clothes that needed to be washed were strewn across the bed, and snack bags and crumbs were scattered across the floor. Hansol, perhaps not expecting this, slammed the door shut the moment he opened it. Wonwoo was beside him, holding his stomach and laughing out loud.
"Senior, don't laugh..."
"Hey, Lee Chan, ugh, kekeke, you look like a room, did you want to bring seasoning to a place like this? keke"
"I'm sorry, but I think I have to clean today..."
"Mir-hyung, I'm sorry..."
"No, you can come again next time."
***
Seungkwan, Hansol, and Chani said they would do serious cleaning instead of playing. So, I had no choice but to go to Soonyoung and Wonwoo's room, but that room was dirty too, so I decided to take them to my house.
(Soonyoung knows that I am a woman, and Wonwoo knows that I am a woman.)
***
"Mom, I'm here."
"Hello. I'm Mir's friend, Kwon Soon-young."
"Hello. This is Jeon Won-woo."
"Are these our Mir friends?"
"You look so handsome."
"Can they just play for a bit?"
"Of course. Come on in. I'll bring you some snacks."
" are you okay. "
***
Soonyoung and Wonwoo, who came into my room, didn't sit on the floor but loitered around. (Seemingly checking out my room.) After looking around for a while, they sat on the bed, and I sat on the floor. (The positioning seems odd...?)
"This is my first time in a girls' room."
"It's cleaner than I thought."
"I'm cleaner than you guys?"
"The room is pretty."
"The bed is also very soft."
It cuts off at a strange timing...
I'm not good at quittingㅠㅠ
