[Contest] It's weird.

000
...ah.

000
...What time is it?

I came to my senses. The simple clock in my favorite color read 3:00 AM. I rubbed my eyes and got up, my exhausted body falling back onto the bed.

Perhaps because I woke up, the sleep that had once escaped me wouldn't return. So, to think again, I lay down in a proper posture.

000
...still...

I blurted out what I had been thinking all along.

000
Taehyung, I guess I have to help you...

Before I knew it, I was calling Kim Taehyung "Taehyung," not "class president" or "that guy." It was when I realized I had changed that I regretted calling him "Taehyung."

000
Because that older sister said she was going to touch me...

I covered my eyes with my wrist. I couldn't see anything. But in the meantime, I could vaguely see Min Yoongi smiling at me. I could see his pale, smooth skin, his red lips in a smile.

I rubbed my eyes and saw Taehyung, who had closed his eyes and was acting cute. Unable to bear it any longer, I got up from the bed and ruffled my hair.

000
Aaaah ...

08:00 AM
I arrived at school later than usual. If I'd been even a little later, I might have been caught by the leadership...

Living a good life 000, almost got penalized.

김미믹
Hey, 00. You look really sick.

000
...no.

김미믹
really?

000
I said no!

Oh, did I speak too loudly? Mimic, with his eyes wide open, looked as if he had lost consciousness and turned his head back to his book.

000
No, that... I'm sorry...

I keep feeling like people are watching me from behind and beside me, so I'm starting to get a little scared. Haha.


정호석
000.

000
Oh, huh?


정호석
Sorry, I was studying, but I saw someone looking for you earlier...


정호석
Over there - near the school gate. I know who that person is. Do you want to come with me?

000
Oh, huh...?


정호석
During break time later, lend me a little bit of your time~

000
Oh, uh... uh.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who can guess who it is. It's definitely Joo Si-jin, that senior.

000
Is this... someone you know?


정호석
We used to be a bit close. Now I don't really think about it ~ I just think, "Oh, there it is" when it's there?

000
Woman...hey?

I felt a little embarrassed asking this question even though I knew it, but I still wanted to ask. I was curious. What did Jung Ho-seok think of Joo Si-jin?


정호석
Yeah, she's a girl. But she's not as pretty as 00.

No, what about having a pretty personality... It's either a good personality or a kind one. They say all pretty girls are shameless, and Shijin-sunbae is pretty too...

000
Oh, uh...

10:50 AM
I often have stomach and head aches and dizziness, so I carry around a lot of medicine. When I take it, Jung Ho-seok, Kim Tae-hyung, and Min Yoon-ji's tantrums are no joke.


김태형
How much pain must you have to take care of yourself like this! 000, I'll tell the teacher, so just rest.


정호석
That's right... How much pain must you have to eat in bulk like this? I'm worried...


민윤지
Hey, girl, I told you to take care of yourself! Is this the first or second time something like this has happened? (Is this the first or second time?)


정호석
Have you ever experienced something like this before? Then you should take extra care of it!

The three of them are biting and tearing at me, so I can't answer even if I want to.

000
I'm okay! Jung Ho-seok, let's go find that person.


김태형
What? Where are you going with this body!

000
Don't worry, it doesn't hurt!

...I feel like a mother bird caring for her chirping baby birds, but let's just let it go.


정호석
This will be the half. We have a little break left, so let's go slowly.

000
ah...


정호석
00, does he have a hobby?

000
I... well, I don't think so.


정호석
You saw me dancing back then, right? I like taking pictures, too, besides dancing. 00 is pretty, so I think it'll come out well in a picture.

000
...Don't say that. If I'm pretty, it's an insult to all the beauties in the world.


정호석
It's really pretty, isn't it? Next time, let's go find a pretty background together. While we're at it, let's take a picture of 00 too.

...If I were to put it another way, wouldn't this be a date?


정호석
Ah, here it is!

000
...The second grade classroom is gloomy -

At Jung Ho-seok's small, sigh-like laugh, I found myself smiling hopefully. His voice was a bit magical.

000
- excuse me...

???
Ah, you're finally here.

???
Expression Zone - I'm so embarrassed, where are you looking with your eyes wide open?

???
I told you yesterday, you're trash. You bitch, you don't even know what you're doing...

Why am I the one who has to listen to all the swearing here? In the middle of them all, the senior from yesterday, Joo Si-jin, smiled faintly and spoke in a voice mixed with falsetto.

주시진
Hey guys! Don't tease him too much~ But he's still a junior, isn't that too much?

???
Damn, look at that bitch Joo Si-jin's expression, heh heh heh... She looks like a bean sprout that just ran away from home.

주시진
This expression is so poetic.


정호석
...Sijin, if you chose this person as your next opponent, I can't guarantee anything.

What the hell! All the kids at this school talk informally to that senior! Should I take this opportunity to talk informally to them too, pull out their hair, and fight? Huh?!


정호석
I only helped you last time, up until the Min Yoongi incident. I have no reason to help you anymore, and I have no intention of doing so.

000
...yunki min...?

주시진
What? You're responsible for that too. Have you forgotten?


정호석
That's right.

The Jung Ho-seok I saw was no longer the kind J-Hope who used to look at me with a bright smile.


정호석
I like this one too, so I'm going to keep it for a while.

주시진
You said all the women you gave your heart to were lies! I was like that too, and you said you were playing with them!



정호석
Ha, really. Just a little bit. Huh?

Immediately after, Jeong Ho-seok approached Joo Si-jin, bowed slightly, and raised his straight index finger.

And then with that finger -


정호석
What the hell, there's a bitch here who doesn't even know the topic?

- He pushed Joo Si-jin's forehead. Several times.

Q & A.

000
You or that writer who is your doppelganger, why is your name Kim Mi-mik?

김미믹
...There's a deep story behind it. Prepare yourself and listen.

000
...uh.

김미믹
I was originally going to use Mick as my nickname. Mick is my own abbreviation for Min Yoongi.

000
Oh, uh... why on earth did you want to use Min Yoongi as your nickname...

김미믹
But, during the process of typing in English, the computer started to lag, so the name became MiMick, or Mimic.

000
uh.

김미믹
But there is also an English word called Mimic, and Mimic also means a box monster, so I think it's a pretty interpretation, so I omit the K at the end and write it as Mimic.

김미믹
But that's not my real nickname. I only use it as an anonymous name when I want to hide who I am.

000
ah...

김미믹
Kim Mi-Mik is a combination of my last name Kim and my nickname Mimic.

000
...? You said you were hiding me.

김미믹
The surname Kim is said to be one of the most common surnames in Korea.

김미믹
By the way, I am from the Gyeongju Kim clan.

000
...I don't know what you're talking about, but anyway... uh...

김미믹
Thanks for asking!
