EP-02. What Happened on the First Day of Transfer?

-Author's Point of View-

It's a warm morning, with warm sunlight shining down. And in a bed that looks soft to anyone, a long-haired high school student is buried. Judging by the background alone, it looks like a typical high school morning. Oh, except that it's Monday and it's 7:30 in the morning.

"I suddenly woke up to the sound of morning coming."

The protagonist of this story, a beautiful 17-year-old female protagonist, covered up to the tip of her nose with a blanket, flipped over her phone and turned off the notifications. "I'll go to bed early then."

"Oh, it's noisy.."

The heroine lay still on the bed for a while and thought.

'I ate chicken while watching a movie starring Bae Ji-nyeong yesterday. That means yesterday was the weekend. But I went out on Saturday... No way...'

The heroine raised her head again, swallowed dryly, and slowly picked up her phone. "Please, I pray today is the weekend."

"At the sound of morning coming-"

A cheerful notification sound announced that it was Monday morning. The woman cursed and threw the phone.

"Holy shit!!"

The heroine took off her pajamas and went into the bathroom.

"I'm screwed.."

The heroine dried her hair and got dressed. It was 8 o'clock at the time. Since she had transferred schools unexpectedly, she wore everyday clothes instead of the uniform. The soft material of the clothes clung to her soft, bare skin and felt good.

"It seems like they're going somewhere else to play, not to school. But anyway, they have to wear their uniforms at school."

The heroine roughly applied skin care products to her face and put on her bag. Then she checked her watch.

"Even if I run, I'll probably get there around 8:20."

The female protagonist sighed deeply, put on her sneakers, and spoke toward the empty room.

"....I'll be back."

Yeoju ran to school, panting. This was Seoul Cheonggang High School. It's a school you've likely heard of. Built as a private school, it's renowned for its excellent facilities and excellent food. It's also rumored to have many good-looking students.

"Ugh..! Here we go."

The school's main gate appeared before Yeoju's eyes. She cautiously glanced around, fearing she might be caught by the student leaders, before entering the gate. However, there was no student leaders, not even a security guard. Something felt off, but Yeoju felt relieved and entered the school.

"..? What is it? Why is it so quiet?"

As the female protagonist looked around, she noticed a male student climbing over the wall and entering the school.

"...!"

The boy also seemed to have noticed the female protagonist and made eye contact with her. The boy quickly closed his surprised eyes, smiled with the corners of his eyes arched, and placed his index finger to his lips.

박우진 image

박우진

"fizzle."

With those words, the boy ran into the school. The woman called him back to ask him to show her around the school.

여주

"Hey, over there!"

박우진 image

박우진

"Huh? Why?"

He turned his upper body to look at the female protagonist, checked her outfit, and said with a smirk.

박우진 image

박우진

"Are you that transfer student?"

여주 image

여주

"?Uh..uh."

박우진 image

박우진

"Follow me."

.

여주 image

여주

"Wow... the school uniform is really long."

박우진 image

박우진

"Is this your first time at our school?"

여주 image

여주

"Of course. It's my first time here."

박우진 image

박우진

"I see.."

Soon, Woojin opened the door in front of the teachers' office.

여주 image

여주

"Oh, but what's your name?"

박우진 image

박우진

"Me? Park Woo-j"

Woojin interrupted, and a crowd of people began to swarm the hallway. They seemed to be going to see something. Woojin grabbed one girl and asked her.

박우진 image

박우진

"Hey. What's going on?"

"Ah.. there's a fight going on over there, so I'm going to watch it.."

At those words, the two of them decided to go see the scene.

.

People were huddled together in a circle, chatting. And in the center of the circle was a bloody man and another man beating him. And the female protagonist began to wonder.

여주

"No one is stopping you?"

박우진 image

박우진

"That's right. That guy over there is the school bully."

Not long after, a man who appeared to be a school teacher entered the fight scene through the crowd.

"Oh my, oh my!! What are you guys doing!!!"

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"They're fighting."

교무선생님 image

교무선생님

"You little shit, you're just going to get beat up!!"

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"What does it matter whether I hit you or not?"

교무선생님 image

교무선생님

"Kang Daniel, look at that little bastard's way of talking. Aren't you following me?"

The homeroom teacher grabbed Daniel by the ear he was hitting and dragged him away. Then, the homeroom teacher noticed Yeoju, who was wearing casual clothes, and pointed at her.

교무선생님 image

교무선생님

"You're the new transfer student, right? Let's go to the principal's office together."

여주 image

여주

"yes..?"

교무선생님 image

교무선생님

"I told you I have to go to the teacher's office with Ae-rang. Ah, you can't move in front of her. It's okay."

.

교무선생님 image

교무선생님

"Your name is Yeoju?"

여주 image

여주

"Yes. I transferred from Lee Won-go."

교무선생님 image

교무선생님

"Then... you go to class 1, grade 1. Daniel, take me there."

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"Why me??" (Checking my appearance)

교무선생님 image

교무선생님

"Stop talking nonsense and go when I'm talking nicely."

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"yes.."

Daniel left the teacher's office with the female lead. It seemed like Daniel would be scolded by the teacher for a long time.

.

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"This is class 1, grade 1."

여주 image

여주

"Ah...thank you."

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"But you're the transfer student from Lee Won-go?"

여주 image

여주

"Uh...uh."

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"Then you'll have to follow me again."

여주 image

여주

"Yeah... ..Yeah???"

Daniel grabbed Yeoju's wrist again and ran off somewhere. Yeoju felt like she had completed a month's worth of running today.
