I met my first love from my past life again.

Episode 2

When I arrived at school, several of my friends had already arrived in the classroom.

원하늘 image

원하늘

Hmm... I'm also one of those who came early, but you came really quickly.

원하늘 image

원하늘

Is it because it's the entrance ceremony day...?

I took a seat by the middle window and looked around the class.

With two girls who already seem friendly

A boy who doesn't know if he doesn't have any friends yet or if he hasn't come yet.

As it happened, the guy was sitting diagonally across from me, so I spoke to him.

원하늘 image

원하늘

Hello? I'm Wonhaneul. What's your name?

한유진 image

한유진

I am... Han Yu-jin...

The boy told me his name in a small voice.

Seeing him acting awkward, I thought he must be a shy person.

원하늘 image

원하늘

Did you happen to be listening to a song just now, or did I come?

I asked Eugene as she was busy organizing her earphones.

He was startled by my words and started talking nonsense.

한유진 image

한유진

I was trying to listen to music, but you weren't bothering me...! No, it's okay...

I couldn't help but laugh at Eugene's hasty speech.

원하늘 image

원하늘

No it's okay lol

원하늘 image

원하늘

That could be it

Only then did Eugene seem a little relieved.

원하늘 image

원하늘

If you don't mind, could you tell me your favorite song?

원하늘 image

원하늘

Because I think you like singing

Then the kid smiled awkwardly and said.

한유진 image

한유진

Yeah... just a moment.

The kid fumbled around for his phone and showed me his playlist.

원하늘 image

원하늘

Hey? Do you listen to this song too?

원하늘 image

원하늘

I really like the OST, and I even binge-watched this drama.

I think I made too much of a fuss because I found a song that had the same taste as me

When I looked around, Eugene was looking at me with brighter eyes than before.

한유진 image

한유진

Really? Do you like this song too?

원하늘 image

원하늘

Oh, totally! I especially love the ad-lib and humming in the chorus.

원하늘 image

원하늘

So I listened to all of this guy's songs too.

한유진 image

한유진

As expected, you know it too.

한유진 image

한유진

It's a huge hit that it was chosen as the OST because it fits perfectly with the drama.

Fortunately, we were able to become close faster than expected, perhaps because our tastes overlapped.

So we talked about the song for a while

The noisy classroom and hallway became quiet, so I checked the time.

It was already 10 minutes before the entrance ceremony.

원하늘 image

원하늘

Hey, hey, we have to go to the auditorium.

한유진 image

한유진

Oh my... Let's go quickly. There won't be any seats.

So we hurriedly headed to the auditorium.

When I arrived at the auditorium, it was bustling with students.

There were so many people that I almost fell if Eugene hadn't held me back.

한유진 image

한유진

Hey hey, be careful.

원하늘 image

원하늘

Oh, thank you. I guess it was because there were so many people.

한유진 image

한유진

Hey, hold my hand. Don't fall again.

원하늘 image

원하늘

Hey, don't fall!

한유진 image

한유진

Oh my, is that so?

Yeah... We became too close, but that's how it ended up like this.

원하늘 image

원하늘

Well, I guess it's not bad since he's pretty good looking.

한유진 image

한유진

what?

원하늘 image

원하늘

No, let's just sit in front

한유진 image

한유진

No, he was definitely handsome earlier..

원하늘 image

원하늘

Ah! Shh, be quiet!

I said, quickly covering Eugene's mouth.

한유진 image

한유진

Okay, I understand, so let's sit down quickly.

So we took our seats in the front row of the auditorium.

원하늘 image

원하늘

Oh, so anyway, are you good at studying?

한유진 image

한유진

I'll study, what about you?

원하늘 image

원하늘

I'm really good, I'm better than you?

Then Han Yu-jin laughed and said.

한유진 image

한유진

What, you're the top student?

원하늘 image

원하늘

Well, I guess so?

한유진 image

한유진

What do you mean, from my perspective, it's not you.

한유진 image

한유진

I'm supposed to be the top student, what nonsense are you talking about;;

원하늘 image

원하늘

No, seriously? I'm the top student!

한유진 image

한유진

Yes, yes, I see. I understand, Chief Won Ha-neul.

Eugene didn't believe me, but I'm probably the chief.

원하늘 image

원하늘

No, and what confidence do you have that you are the top student?

원하늘 image

원하늘

It seems to me that I won't be able to receive the scholarship?

Then Eugene got angry and said.

한유진 image

한유진

What? Hey, I was the top student in the entire school and went to a gifted school?!

원하늘 image

원하늘

I see, you'll know when you see the results later.

I was a student at a prestigious university,

Common sense tells me that the chances of losing are low, so I wasn't particularly worried.

"Everyone, please take your seats and be quiet."

So the entrance ceremony began and the boring principal's speech began.

한유진 image

한유진

(Quietly) Wow... How can the vice principal be more boring than the principal?

원하늘 image

원하늘

Hey, be quiet! I can hear you from up ahead.

Then Eugene whispered in her ear.

한유진 image

한유진

Don't worry, I can't hear you.

I thought all kids these days were like this

Seeing Eugene making a disgusted expression

Then I thought, "Well then, that's it."

Meanwhile, the boring teacher's speech ended,

The scholarship award ceremony began on stage.

한유진 image

한유진

I guess the seniors are receiving it too?

Looking at the seniors standing together on one side, it seemed like all the second and third year students were there.

I noticed a familiar silhouette, but I didn't know anyone at this school.

원하늘 image

원하늘

Yeah, I guess so.

After answering, I turned my gaze to the auditorium and waited for the presentation.

The scholarship recipients were announced in order, starting with the first year students.

"First-year top student Won Ha-neul, second-place student Han Yu-jin..."

원하늘 image

원하늘

I told you, the chief is the country?

한유진 image

한유진

No, you're really the chief?

"Students whose names have been called, please come up to the stage."

원하늘 image

원하늘

Okay, let's go up quickly.

We went up to the stage and the teacher started calling out the names of the second graders.

I wish I had known then.

"Choi Beom-gyu, 2nd year, top student, Kim Min-jeong..."

I should have known when I had that dream today.

원하늘 image

원하늘

Choi...Beomgyu?

Then we wouldn't have to face this nightmare-like reality today.

I regretted going to school that day, I regretted going to that school.
