Everyone hates the senior they like.
01. Seventh transfer


- School gate -


배주현
...

This is already my seventh school...

Because my parents changed jobs frequently, I had to transfer schools often.

Is that why?

I never really made any friends and was just dragged around here and there.


배주현
Phew...

I don't think I'll be able to last long at this school.

Now I really wish I could stop transferring schools.

No, even if I transfer...

I had a small wish to make at least one good friend.

- classroom -

선생님
Everyone, take your seats.


배주현
...

I've moved schools seven times, but I can't get used to this time.

Self-introduction.

Why should I say hello to kids I don't know when I'll stop seeing?

I sighed meaninglessly again and looked around the classroom.

I don't even glance at it. This school... must be boring, too.

선생님
Should I say hello to my friends?


배주현
Oh, yes...


배주현
My name is Bae Joo-hyun, who transferred from Busan...

선생님
You don't speak in dialect?


배주현
I lived there for a while.

선생님
Maybe it's because Joohyun transferred schools a lot, but he's really shy.


배주현
...

선생님
Guys, can we please give them a round of applause?


배주현
...

I really hate this feeling.

It's like receiving forced applause.

I didn't like the way he talked about me so selfishly.

From that time on... boring and dull times followed.


배주현
Sigh...

I want to go home quickly.

When I was fiddling with my phone under my desk drawer.

?
excuse me...


배주현
...

Someone came up to me.

You'll know after transferring a few times.

There are a few times when kids approach me first out of curiosity about the transfer student.

This kid too... is probably that type


배주현
uh?

He raised his head and answered, pretending not to know.

Then, a pretty smiling girl pulled a chair over and sat down next to me.


김지우
Did you transfer from Busan?


배주현
Huh? Huh...


김지우
My maternal grandparents live in Busan, so I go there often.


김지우
Nice to meet you... hehe.


배주현
...

What do you want me to do? I couldn't hide my indifferent expression as I looked at the girl.


김지우
Oh, my name is Kim Ji-woo.


김지우
You said your name was Joohyun, right?


배주현
huh.


김지우
Let's get along well from now on.

Jiwoo extends his hand to me. Is he asking to shake hands?

The way it was shaking slightly seemed to be asking to be caught.


배주현
...Yeah, please take care of me too.


김지우
Oh, right. I have something to tell you...


김지우
Are you thinking of joining a club?


배주현
... club?

What kind of situation is this?

I just said hello to my new transfer student, and now I'm promoting a club.

Are you clueless or just shameless?

Jiwoo smiled nonchalantly and held up the club promotional material.


배주현
S... Takato?

The word 'staccato' was written in large letters.

It looked like a music club.

I have no talent for music... I tried to entertain him as much as possible, but this just won't do.


김지우
huh!


김지우
Our club is a choir.


김지우
I also go to the club regularly and get to know the members better.


김지우
Once you get in, you can become friends with your seniors.


김지우
Joohyun, I wish you would come in. Okay?


배주현
...


배주현
Sorry. I'm really bad at singing.


김지우
You don't have to worry about that!


김지우
Taehyung will tell you everything, right?


배주현
...Taehyung senior?

Why would that be?

My eyes were drawn to an ordinary name that was nothing special.


김지우
Actually... many people joined our club because of Taehyung.


배주현
...


김지우
Joohyun, would you like to take a look?


김지우
Our club really has a strong sense of unity, so we make friends quickly.


배주현
...

Jiwoo kept chattering, but nothing reached my ears.

It didn't matter how many prizes I won in competitions.

You said you could make friends...


배주현
...

Because I was curious about what kind of person that popular senior Taehyung was.


배주현
Can I go and see and then decide?


김지우
Of course!! Of course!

Jiwoo just smiled brightly, unaware of my thoughts.

indeed...

What kind of person is that senior Taehyung?

Even when the bell rang to signal the start of class, my curiosity did not subside.
