정은비
Oh, okay, stop it. Am I a kid?
인물
??: Are you a kid? Then you should change into your school uniform and eat breakfast quickly.
정은비
Ha.. Do I have to do this every morning while talking to the spirits?
인물
??: Then you should have believed me - is this the first or second time you've broken a promise? You're always late for school too
정은비
Aaaah, okay, stop it.. ha..
인물
?? : Put breakfast in your mouth quickly
정은비
But aren't you busy, unnie? Why is a trainee so idle? Aren't you practicing? Should I tell the agency? Jung Ye-rin always says she doesn't practice in the morning.
정예린
Are you seeing me here and there? I'm already in the practice room~ Oh, and did you pack your gear? Gym clothes! And—
정은비
Aaaah, stop it! Get some bread and jam in your mouth. Okay? I'm hanging up! Bye-
정은비
Every morning I think, what is this... ha...
Eunbi put on her shoes and left the house, chewing on the bread she had roughly packed.
Summer High School Classes 1-3
As soon as she got to school, Eunbi sat quietly in a corner among the noisy children, stacking up her books and sleeping.
At this moment, the door opens and the homeroom teacher comes in.
최유나
Okay, let's sit down now~
The children all return to their seats at the appearance of their homeroom teacher.
최유나
Wake up the friend lying behind you with the books piled up!
인물
You wake up
정은비
Hmm… uh…
Eunbi looked up listlessly at her homeroom teacher, and only then did the teacher begin the morning assembly.
최유나
It's been two weeks since school started.. Oh, you guys are starting school haha. It seems like everyone's adjusting well? Today we have to decide on clubs.. Have you all decided?
인물
no-!
최유나
Everyone's answers are confident.. haha Well, it would be better to decide by lunchtime, decide during the 5th period and move to the club room during the 6th and 7th periods - Okay, that's the end of today's morning assembly!
인물
goodbye!!
Eunbi checked that her homeroom teacher had left and immediately fell back down on her books.
The homeroom teacher who had left at that time came back in...
최유나
Right, right, look at my mind... Eunbi! Jeong Eunbi!
정은비
Uh.. Yes?
최유나
Eunbi, should we go to the counseling room with the teacher for a moment?
정은비
Me? ..yes
Summer high school counseling room.
정은비
"Did I do something wrong? Did I fall asleep in class? What can I do about being sleepy?"
최유나
Ah, Eunbi, you can sit here.
정은비
Ah.. yes..
Eunbi sits down awkwardly.
최유나
It's nothing special, but Eunbi, have you decided on a club?
정은비
no..
최유나
So, is there any club you would like to join?
정은비
No.. I don't have any, I just do some random activities, anywhere..
최유나
I see, um... how should I put this...
정은비
What are you talking about?
최유나
Eunbi, did you know that our school's swimming club was quite famous?
정은비
Swim club..?
최유나
Yes, there is a swimming club at Summer High School, and the principal said that he really wants you to join the club and asked the teacher to do so...
정은비
… . Oh, yes..
최유나
… The teacher has no intention of forcing Eunbi to do something she doesn’t want to do. That’s right, the principal said that Eunbi was a famous swimmer.
Eunbi suddenly wakes up. Her expression doesn't look good.
정은비
Sorry, I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Well then...
Eunbi leaves the counseling room in a hurry.
최유나
Eunbi..!
restroom.
Water runs in the sink, and the quiet bathroom is filled with the sound of water.
I quickly wash my face at the sink and then turn off the water.
정은비
ha- …..
정은비
"How on earth did they know I was a swimmer? It must have changed a lot since then. And unless you're interested in elementary school swimming, there's no reason to look it up."
정은비
….Since the swimming club was famous, of course I would have looked for it… Ha… Shit…
정은비
... so annoying.. so annoying, so annoying!!
Eunbi was venting her anger on the wall for no reason and then collapsed on the floor.
정은비
… sigh… ha… hold on… hold on…
Eunbi swallowed her tears and after a while heard the bell ring, she got up from her seat again and looked around the hallway.
After the children rushing in and the teachers entering class disappeared from view, Eunbi left the hallway and sat on the stairs.
정은비
‘Should I go home? But my phone is in the classroom.’
정은비
‘If I suddenly go home, I’ll call my sister… I don’t want to worry her…’
정은비
Yeah.. Even if I stay here.. let's just go to class for now.
Eunbi gets up from the stairs and heads to the classroom.
A classroom where class is in progress, the back door opens, and the students and teacher focus their attention on it.
인물
Where have you been?
정은비
Ah.. my homeroom teacher called me..
인물
Okay? Got it. Go sit down.
정은비
yes..
Eunbi goes to her seat, opens her book, and listens to the lecture.
But in my head, I'm worried that it's been revealed that I was a swimmer.
A little later, after class, Eunbi lies down, unable to speak to anyone.
Even when the homeroom teacher comes, I just lie down on my desk and don't move, thinking I'll just ignore him.
At that moment, someone's voice is heard near Eunbi...
인물
You still haven't asked?
인물
No, what should I do while I'm sleeping... I've been sleeping all day..
인물
Just wake me up, idiot. We've been talking since Monday.
인물
No, but still... we're not even close yet...
인물
If you can't do it, I will.
Someone taps Eunbi. Eunbi gets up...
정은비
Why is that?
정은비
‘I think he was the temporary class president or something. But who is that guy next to him?’
인물
hi?
