It's pretty
first
이 여주
Today is a very important day. It's the day I become a transfer student in a class. Aaaargh, I'm so nervous. I'm so nervous I could die. Aaaargh
My name is Lee Yeo-ju. With a trembling heart, I am waiting in the hallway, just one classroom door away, until my homeroom teacher calls me in. To briefly introduce myself, I guess I should say I transferred to this school because my dad's job changed. Well. It seems better than my previous school.
서 은광
A new student is coming today. Aren't you excited? Here, new student, come in.
이 여주
yes.
As soon as the teacher called, I answered and went into the classroom.
서 은광
New student greeting.
이 여주
Hi. My name is Lee Yeo-ju, and I transferred from Toobi High School. Nice to meet you.
As soon as I finished greeting, I heard a murmuring sound.
이 창섭
Hey. She's pretty..
이 민혁
Huh...? Who...
이 민혁
Lee Yeo-ju?
이 창섭
Yeah. They say that was their name in their past life. Wow, even the name is pretty.
서 은광
Everyone, be quiet. Yeoju, go sit in the last remaining seat over there.
이 여주
yes.
As soon as Yeoju sat down, Minhyuk spoke to her.
이 민혁
Hey. Lee Yeo-ju.
이 여주
Huh? Who.. ! Lee Min-hyuk?
Lee Min-hyuk and I are cousins. I never thought I would meet a savior on my very first day of school. For the first time, I was grateful to Lee Min-hyuk.
이 창섭
What? Lee Min-hyuk. Are the two of you acquainted?
이 민혁
Uh. This is my cousin.
이 창섭
I see. Minhyuk's cousin. Hi... Hehe, I'm Minhyuk's friend, Lee Changsub. Nice to meet you.
이 여주
Uh. Hi. I am Minhyuk's cousin, but that's not my name. Could you call me Lee Yeoju?
이 창섭
Yeah! Right. Yeoju.
이 창섭
What should I do? His personality is totally my style, too..
Ding dong ding dong
Just then, the bell rang.
서 은광
Yeoju, can you come over for a moment?
이 여주
Yes, sir.
서 은광
Would you like to bring just one friend?
이 여주
Ah, yes.
이 여주
Hey. Lee Min-hyeok, come here.
이 민혁
why?
이 여주
The teacher told me to bring a friend.
이 창섭
Can't I go too..?
이 여주
I didn't call you because I thought you would just follow along. Come here. I brought the teacher.
서 은광
Uh. Minhyuk and Changseop?
이 여주
Yes. Is it not allowed for two people?
서 은광
Normally, two people aren't allowed, but I'll let two of you do it for Yeoju.
이 여주
Thank you. But what is the matter?
서 은광
Yeah... well, you see.
( 1 hour later )
이 여주
Ugh. I should have just stayed in class.
이 창섭
Yeoju-ya. Yeoju-ya.
이 민혁
Lee Chang-sub. Don't bother Lee Yeo-ju.
이 창섭
Yeoju... Am I a bother?
이 여주
If you know, keep quiet.
육 성재
Noona, noona. So, is Seongjae annoyed too?
이 여주
If you know, keep quiet. Please.
I wonder what happened during that hour.
( 1 hour ago )
서 은광
Yeah... well, you see.
이 여주
What? You're saying they'll give us a school tour?
서 은광
Um... the teacher is supposed to do this, but they have urgent work. I'm sorry.
이 창섭
No! I will take responsibility and explain it properly to the female lead.
이 여주
My opinion is..
이 민혁
Hey. Let's go, Lee Yeo-ju.
서 은광
Guys. Please take good care of me. Thank you.
이 여주
Teacher, what about class?
서 은광
I'll tell the class president. Don't worry and go ahead.
이 창섭
Neeeee-
Thus began the school guide for Lee Yeo-ju.
이 여주
Where are you going?
이 창섭
The music room is the closest place from here. Shall we go to the music room?
이 민혁
I didn't even attend music class today. That's nice.
이 창섭
Let's go~
(In front of the music room)
이 민혁
(Knock knock) Teacher. Mr. Hyunsik. What is it? Is he not here?
이 여주
Mr. Hyunsik...? Is that the music teacher's name?
이 창섭
Yes. Mr. Im Hyun-sik.
임 현식
What are you guys doing here?
이 창섭
Teacher, why are you coming out of there?
임 현식
I came back from the teachers' office.
이 민혁
ah.
임 현식
By the way, who is that kid over there I've never seen before?
이 여주
Hello. I am Lee Yeo-ju, and I transferred here today.
임 현식
Ah, right. So you're a transfer student. I'm Im Hyun-sik, the music instructor.
이 여주
Yes. I heard it from the kids. I look forward to working with you.
임 현식
Yeah. Me too.
임 현식
You're really pretty.
이 여주
...? Is there something on me?
임 현식
No. Nothing...
이 민혁
What's wrong with that teacher, too? How awkward...
임 현식
But why did you guys come?
이 창섭
Yeoju School Information.
임 현식
Oh, really?
이 여주
Yes. Now that I know the location of the music room and have met the teacher, I'm going to look around somewhere else...
임 현식
for a moment.
이 민혁
why?
임 현식
No. See you later.
이 여주
Where are you going now?
이 창섭
Let's go there.
이 여주
where?
이 창섭
I know I like it.
I followed Chang-seop and arrived at none other than the library.
이 민혁
Lee Chang-sub's book?
이 창섭
Hey. I read books, too!
이 여주
All right. Lee Chang-sub~
이 창섭
lol..
이 여주
Anyway, the library is big and nice.
이 민혁
Our school library is quite large.
이 여주
Ooh ooh.
이 창섭
Ah. Follow me.
이 민혁
...Surely not. It can't be that place.
이 여주
.. That place?
이 창섭
Get ready. Lee Chang-sub's favorite segment!
That place is none other than the fairy tale corner...?
Surprisingly, the corner of the fairy tale section was full of novels with R-rated labels.
이 창섭
How is it? Super good, right?
이 여주
Hey... Lee Chang-sub....
이 민혁
..(Unable to continue speaking)
이 여주
This is fucking good.
이 여주
I don't think I'll be bored while going to school. Thanks for the great tip.
이 창섭
Yeoju. Do you like things like this?
이 여주
I totally love it.
이 창섭
Then what about this? (Lee Chang-sub pointing at himself while saying, "What about this?")
이 여주
Hahaha... Do you want to get hit?
이 여주
"Damn it. What is this? Why does that look so cute...?"
이 창섭
Heehee..
이 민혁
It's hard to watch. Stop it.
We left the library and started walking down the hallway.
이 여주
Where are we going this time?
이 창섭
Is there anywhere you want to go in Yeoju?
이 여주
There is. A place I want to go.
이 민혁
I want to go somewhere.
이 여주
Infirmary
이 창섭
Infirmary? Are you sick?
이 여주
No. Just to locate it so I can skip class later.
이 민혁
This is the only way to get it. Let's go.
We headed to the infirmary like that.
이 민혁
(Knock knock) Teacher Puni. Let's go in.
Minhyuk knocked and entered the infirmary.
프니엘
Huh? What's wrong with Minhyuk? Is he sick?
이 민혁
No, I'm not sick. I'm just giving a school tour because a new student transferred here today.
프니엘
Ah, I see. Come in, guys. It's cold in the hallway.
이 창섭
Yes~
프니엘
Changseop, so you came too..
이 창섭
Why is the reaction different from when Minhyuk came? I think I'm going to get a little hurt.
프니엘
Oh, right. Sorry. By the way, where is that new transfer student?
이 여주
Hello. I'm Lee Yeo-ju, and I transferred here today.
프니엘
So you're the new transfer student. Nice to meet you. Oh, I'm Peniel, the health officer. New
이 여주
Ah. Yes. I look forward to working with you as well.
프니엘
okay.
Ding dong ding dong
???
Ugh... Teacher Puni...
프니엘
Ah. You're awake? Are you feeling a bit better...?
???
Yes. It's a bit better. Thank you.
Someone got up from the bed in the infirmary, pulled back the curtain covering the bed, and walked out.
이 창섭
..Yook Sungjae?
이 민혁
Seongjae?
이 여주
You said it's Yook Sungjae?
육 성재
Ugh... I slept well, but as soon as I woke up, something that looks like a squid was right in front of me.
이 창섭
What? Hey. Picking a fight as soon as you wake up? Huh?
육 성재
Who said I was your brother? I think I got stung.
이 창섭
Huh. Got a hit? You're just saying that because you said it in front of me, so you thought you were talking about me.
육 성재
That's what got you stung. Idiot.
이 창섭
No, it's not.
이 여주
Ah, come on! Stop it already. Listen to this and that; it's so noisy, how can anyone live like this?
육 성재
Who... uh...? Yeoju noona?
이 여주
Uh... it's really Yook Sungjae, isn't it?
이 민혁
What? Do you guys know each other too?
이 여주
Uh. Seongjae is my friend Seongsook's younger brother.
육 성재
Yeoju, what's wrong? Why are you here?
이 여주
I transferred schools because my dad changed jobs.
육 성재
Ah, I see! That's exciting.
이 여주
How is Seong-suk doing?
육 성재
Yes. She says she's doing well. I was bored without my sister, so I'm really glad Yeoju came here.
이 창섭
Hey. The bell is about to ring. Aren't you going to classroom?
육 성재
Next time is self-study, right? You don't have to go in.
이 민혁
Seongjae, are you coming too?
육 성재
Yeah. I've been awake since you came in earlier, so I heard everything you were doing.
이 창섭
Yook Sungjae is really no help.
육 성재
Well, you're no help at all.
이 여주
Stop it, both of you.
(초딩라인)
yes..
Zzarapappa, you are beautiful. Zzazara zzarapappappa. (The class bell rings loudly)
이 여주
.. You're not kidding, is this paper?
이 민혁
Yeah. This is the starting bell..
프니엘
Guys, I get it, so could you all please leave? It's so noisy I can't get any work done.
이 민혁
Ah. I'm sorry.
프니엘
Okay. Goodbye. Come back if you get sick, Seongjae.
육 성재
Yes~
이 여주
The infirmary was warm, but I got kicked out.
이 민혁
If it's cold, you should go somewhere warm.
이 창섭
Are you cold, Yeoju? Shall Big Brother give you a hug? Wow-
이 여주
.. no.
이 여주
Lee Yeo-ju, are you crazy...? I almost said "yes."
이 창섭
Tch... I guess I have no choice.
이 여주
But where could a warm place be?
이 창섭
In my heart?
이 여주
....
Yeah. The first time was just a momentary surprise since it was my first time. Hearing it twice really ruins the mood. I just want to...
이 창섭
Yeoju...
이 여주
what.
꿻
이 여주
...?
The female lead is expressing with her facial expression, "What is wrong with that crazy guy...?"
육 성재
Bro. Stop it.
이 민혁
We who are watching feel even more ashamed.
이 여주
Ugh. I should have just stayed in class.
이 창섭
Yeoju-ya... Yeoju-ya...
이 민혁
Lee Chang-sub. Don't bother Lee Yeo-ju.
이 창섭
Yeoju... Am I a bother?
이 여주
If you know, keep quiet.
육 성재
Noona, noona. Is Seongjae annoyed too?
이 여주
If you know, please just keep quiet.
이 여주
Ha... Lee Min-hyuk. It's a relief that at least you're keeping quiet.
이 민혁
okay.
???
Hey! Lee Chang-sub! Lee Min-hyuk!
이 여주
Who is that kid again...
Who is that child? ☞ To be continued in the next episode
