STORY 8
After the fun infirmary session, which everyone except me enjoyed, I headed back up to my class. For some reason, I ignored the awkwardness and walked silently. I felt dazed by what had happened earlier. Still, I had to ask if I had any questions.
정여주
“Why did you do that earlier?”
전정국
“We’ll be late. Let’s hurry.”
As soon as I finished speaking, he said, "We're going to be late. Let's hurry." He hurried off on his own, his long legs briskly walking away. His legs were so long that I thought I'd have to run to keep up.
In the end, Jeon Jungkook really did leave, and I was left alone. I didn't know he would really leave.
After a very lonely and solitary time, I came to the hallway of our class and was touched twice: once by the teacher who came out from afar and waited for me, and then by Suyeon who quietly waved her hand from behind, probably without the teacher knowing.
정여주
“Ugh…ssam…….”
“Oh my, are you okay, lady? Oh my. You blocked both sides….”
최수연
“Hahaha, that’s kind of funny.”
“Huh? What? When did Suyeon tell you to come out? Why don’t you go in?”
최수연
“Tch… Yeah….”
정여주
“Haha ...
My Korean teacher is old, but she teaches us like she's her own grandchild. I like her the best. Even better than Mr. Tiger.
As soon as the bright-eyed Korean class ended, Choi Soo-yeon came to my seat. She had a look of excitement on her face, but to me, it was terrifying. You know that face that looks like it's about to be publicly executed? That feeling...
최수연
“So. How are you going to push it? Yeah?”
Ah. I thought you were going to ask me about what happened at the infirmary again, so I just drank kimchi stew. I guess that was even more hurtful because of what happened at the infirmary earlier. Luckily, it was about Choi Soobin, so I quickly decided to tell you about my ideal type.
정여주
“I’ll tell you my ideal type.”
최수연
“Huh, huh…. Good.”
I tried to tell her everything, without leaving anything out. The more Sooyeon learned, the better we'd become. But there was a distraction. I'd forgotten about it for a moment.
전정국
“My lady.”
I unconsciously turned my head as soon as I heard my name and met his eyes. And there I saw Jeon Jungkook waving just like last time.
Oh. Do you think we're reconciled now? I'm not at all like that. I was mistaken and came to our class. I told you not to, but you clearly are. Why are you calling my name? Was it Min Yoongi? Anyway, that kid must have known my name because of him.
정여주
“Uh. Hello.”
I waved goodbye and muttered to myself, "Please go away." So, Jeon Jungkook couldn't hear me, and I cursed inwardly.
최수연
“What? Who are you, Choi Soobin?”
정여주
“No, not at all.”
최수연
"okay……."
“Gotcha, you bastard.”
As I was about to say hello to the female lead and head back to my class, someone grabbed me by the shoulders and spoke to me. As I turned my head, wondering who it was, my eyes met with Park Jimin's, who was smiling at me.
박지민
“That’s her? The woman who stole your heart.”
전정국
“Huh…? No, …uh….”
박지민
“Okay. You’re totally my ideal type. Short hair, twintails, and a cat-like appearance. Just like that. I love you to death.”
“Yeah. Fucking.”
박지민
“Haha ...
전정국
“We broke up yesterday and we’re still arguing.”
박지민
“Haha ...
“Since when have you liked me?”
“Isn’t he your ideal type?”
“Oh, stop asking.”
The Next Day_
정여주
“Wow… Shit, safe… gasp, gasp….”
The situation I'm in right now is this: I overslept and ran to school at full speed. Luckily, it's 8:57. If I'd known this was coming, I should've at least brushed my teeth.
최수연
“Yol, I’m glad I wasn’t late.”
Suyeon, who had arrived first and been waiting, spoke to me. "It's good that you can come to school leisurely."
“Please take a seat. I have something to convey.”
It's only 58 minutes and the teacher is already here. I should cancel my regretful decision to brush my teeth earlier. If I had brushed my teeth, I would have arrived later than the teacher.
"Okay. You're sophomores in high school now, right? What's your favorite activity among sophomores?"
All the kids answered in unison, "A school trip!!!" I think Suyeon's voice was the loudest among them.
"...That's right, haha. You're quick-witted. Today, we're going to pick a location for the school trip next week. It was originally supposed to be Class 1, but it got passed on to our class. Is everyone ready?"
After the teacher finished speaking, he opened the math trip lottery file window on the computer.
What… The lottery we were going to use today was a wheel with what appeared to be over ten thousand choices.
정여주
“Wow… hahaha. Why are there so many hahaha.”
There was a lot of talk, such as, "Did they make so many of them just to keep us from seeing them?", "Why are there so many places to go?", and "Aren't they just putting in the same things over and over again?"
“Sleep… Be quiet. I put a lot of them in there so you guys can’t see them, and there are a lot of places that are the same.”
"Now, let's turn it around. Whether the place is good or bad, you only get one chance. Wherever it is, there's no place that won't be fun if you go with friends, so don't complain, okay?"
With those words, the teacher finally spun the countless wheel wheels. All of our students banged their desks, and it seemed as if we were all nervous, as this was our last field trip of our lives.
The results came out and there was a moment of silence.
정여주
“Oh, wow…. wow wow. wow daebak wow!!!”
최수연
“Awesome!!! Haha ...
“Hallelujah!!! Hallelujah!!! Jeju Island!!!”
“Wow, I really like it, I really like it, I really like it ㅠㅠㅠㅠ.”
We all cheered with joy, and some students were so excited that they climbed on their desks and danced.
정여주
“I’m crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.”
최수연
“Hey, heroine… Look over there, teacher….”
After hearing Suyeon's words, I looked at the teacher, and it seemed like he was going to leave at any moment, perhaps because the students were so excited.
정여주
“Ooo ...
My loud voice finally calmed the children in my class, and the teacher continued speaking.
“……. Thank you, lady. We’re going on a school trip to Jeju Island. As you all know, it’s a three-day, two-night trip. Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 will go separately, and Class 4, Class 5, and Class 6 will go separately.”
“Oh no… I have a friend in class 4….”
“Teacher, can I change classes!!!”
"Quiet, quiet!!! Shut your mouths, everyone. We're going on a school trip next Wednesday, November 1st. Everyone, open your hologram windows. I'll give you the schedule."
“Wow, crazy…. Wow, I can use the pool?”
“Wow, this school trip is going to be so much funㅋㅋㅋㅋ. There’s a Hello Kitty Museum!!!ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.”
"Hey guys, can you all see? Is there anyone who can't see it? No, right? This is our first day's schedule. It's a pain to explain, so I won't explain it further. Just figure it out yourself."
The school trip itinerary was simply fantastic. We went to a resort, a pool, and Hello Kitty Island. Is there any other school that goes to a cafe on a school trip like ours?
Even the 6:30 a.m. meeting time. How could I be this happy? Both elementary and middle school field trips had 8 a.m. meetings.
On the morning of the school trip, I should meet Suyeon before dawn and eat at a convenience store. Just thinking about it makes me happy...
“Okay, now I’ll show you the second day. Watch carefully.”
최수연
“Yeoju, I’m so happy. I want to become a teacher at Dongguk High School.”
정여주
“ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋThis is really crazy.”
Day 2 was literally crazy, and I was curious about who the teacher who planned the school trip was. I'll ask him later.
"Okay, this is the second day's schedule. This is a bit much, so just figure it out. There's no third day's schedule, since we're just going home."
“How are you, kids? Are you having a good time on your last school trip?”
"yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Okay. This is how high school field trips are supposed to be, guys. They'll be completely different from elementary and middle school field trips, and they'll be a lot more fun. So, prepare yourself mentally by next week, and feel free to bring your suitcase. Anyone have any questions?"
정여주
“Who is the teacher who planned the math trip itinerary?!”
My question elicited cheers and applause from the students in my class. I don't know if they liked my question or not, but it felt good.
“……Who do you think it is?”
정여주
“I don’t know!!!”
The teacher seemed to think for a moment, then finally spread his arms wide and shouted with a happy smile.
"grow!!!!!!"
“Waaa ...
“Teacher, you’re awesome! Wow, wow ...
최수연
“Wow, lol, I really praise Seokcheol”
Yes. I don't know how many episodes it was revealed, but our homeroom teacher's name is Mr. Lee Seok-cheol. He's got a cool name. He has a great personality. Our Seok-cheol even plans field trips well...
이석철 선생님
"Okay, everyone, calm down. That's all. We're ending this happy meeting."
“Goodbye, yong ...
It is said that the students in our class continued to cheer without stopping until Mr. Lee Seok-cheol disappeared from their sight.
We had a wonderfully happy morning, just as the teacher had said, and then we had to go back to this boring 3,000-second class. But even though it was boring, just thinking about the school trip schedule brought a smile to my face, so today's class seemed like it would be fun.
