I got a kiss from a bully at a karaoke bar
01. Come get it later (1)



Since it happened over the weekend, the memory naturally faded from my mind. To be exact... it's fading.

With exams over and the sports day approaching, there's a lot to decide. Right now, our class is divided on two opposing views...

This is also a memory, so let's go with something funny! vs. It's the first high school sports day, so let's go with something pretty!

Honestly, I... don't like either of them. The former are floral refrigerator pants, so they're cool... but the latter look a little too hot, so I'm a little hesitant.

Ugh, there's going to be another fight in class today. Oh my. But why isn't Kim Chaewon here?

I shield my face from the sunlight with my hands and just quiver my feet before turning on my phone and making a call.

Thump thump... thump thump...

The call was disconnected and a very urgent sound was heard.


김채원
[Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey, ha... Should I let my hair down or tie it up?]


홍여주
[...You haven't even done your hair yet? I'm waiting outside right now?]

I can't help but laugh. This guy is really...


홍여주
[If it doesn't come out in 3 minutes, go right away.]

He just says that and hangs up. It's too late anyway.


So, without waiting even a minute, I turned back to school. On the way, Hyeseong and Yooseong stopped by my house and met Yooseong... Oh, these guys are twins. They really look alike.


김유성
What a lovely morning...

The only difference is that Kim Hye-sung usually wears her hair down, while Kim Yoo-sung wears it tied up. They both look good together. I think they'd look good even if they switched. And the way they talk is similar, yet different.


홍여주
Huh, why are you so dead?


김유성
monday...

Kim Hye-seong must have gone with her boyfriend. She doesn't know what she likes about younger guys... As someone who only likes guys her age, I can't understand Hye-seong having a boyfriend in her third year of middle school.

Kim Hye-sung seems thrilled that her middle and high schools are so close together. So, she always goes home early with her boyfriend...

I wait in the shade for a bit, fanning myself. I have to wait for someone.


홍여주
Hey, but there's a second class.

The conversation, which started with "Please lend me your homework today," turned into cursing the subject teacher when the sound of shoes clicking could be heard from the alley. Here they come.


김채원
Aaaah! Where are you guys meeting first...!!

He says that while looking at the ground and breathing heavily. Oh, he came running... haha. He snickers at the sight of the red checkered lanyard hanging from the back of his head.


홍여주
Ah, you finally tied it up.

Kim Chae-won bends over for a while, breathing heavily, then walks with her head slightly raised.


김채원
It's hot, you know... oh, I'm out of breath.

I asked Kim Yu-seong, who was patting Kim Chae-won's back while laughing.


홍여주
What time is it now?



김채원
Hey, I don't think I brought my gym uniform today.


홍여주
Oh... so you tied your hair up and didn't bring any clothes?


김채원
Oh no... Hongshi. That's not it... So do you have pants?


홍여주
Yeah, but I have 3rd period today.


김채원
Oh, I have 4th period... Is your last name here?


김유성
Hehe, I don't have any either...

Kim Yu-seong, who had been smiling faintly, narrows his eyes as if looking closely at the school gate in the distance.


김유성
Hey. Kim Chaewon, do you have a senior in your dance club?


김채원
Wow, wow, really...?!

That senior is Kim Chae-won's crush. Kim Chae-won ties up her messy hair, checks her lips and eyebrows, and clenches her fists as she speaks.


김채원
... let's go.

As I approached the school gate, smiling without a trace, I saw Kim Chae-won next to me, clearing her throat loudly. If you look closely, she's really funny too.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Kim Chae-won told me seriously not to show it, so I turned on my phone and checked the message from Kim Hye-seong without thinking of looking at her strangely.


김채원
Hello, senior!


박지민
Yeah, hello.

Park Jimin. From vice-captain to leader of our school's dance club. A famous and popular senior you've likely heard of at least once if you've attended this school for a few months.

I see Kim Chae-won and her crush continuing their conversation after half-heartedly replying to Kim Hye-sung. Their eyes meet. Not with Kim Chae-won, but with that crush senior.

I was staring blankly, eyes wide, when that senior suddenly approached me. I hadn't done anything wrong, but he panicked and looked me over. Why was he coming towards me? Did I do something wrong?

The senior who came ahead said.


박지민
He's calling you.

The tip of that finger pointed to a man staring at me with a sharp gaze. Since first-year students can't join the leadership team, I'll have to become a senior.


When our eyes met, he suddenly smiled brightly. Should I go there? Is that it?

Walk away hesitantly.


홍여주
hello...

The senior was right in front of me, so I didn't make eye contact and just nodded slightly, but two hands were pointed towards my left collarbone.

If you take two steps back, you'll see a yellow name tag in his hand. Huh? My name tag?

That senior, the one who just took my name tag, is grinning. Huh? Where have I seen that smile before?



전정국
Come get this later.

yes...?

🐌느린 아르노
Hey guys, you know the name tag is usually on the left chest? But if the front line officer takes it off, it'll be a little embarrassing.


🐌느린 아르노
So, it may look a bit strong, but I'll go to the left collarbone. Not any lower. ㅜㅜㅠㅜㅋㅋㅋ


🐌느린 아르노
That's it, thank you!
