[Episode 1 / Transfer Student]
김여주
"Hello, I'm Kim Yeo-ju, the new transfer student today."
Clap, clap, clap, the familiar sound of applause welcoming me. Now, I'm truly here, in 'Class 2, Grade 1.'
담임선생님[1-2]
"Yes, this is Yeoju, who transferred to our 'Wannago' today. Everyone, take good care of her!"
The homeroom teacher of Class 2-1 shouted loudly from the table. "Hmm, the homeroom teacher seems like a nice person. One of my worries has disappeared."
학생들[1-2]
" yes -! "
Did everyone shout in unison? The classroom was filled with not only the teacher's voice, but also the students' voices.
담임선생님[1-2]
"Well, okay. Then the female lead's seat... is..."
The teacher looked at the students with a satisfied look, then glanced at someone.
담임선생님[1-2]
"Huh, Park Woojin?"
The teacher sighed before calling a specific student's name. Why? Curious, I pinpointed the exact direction the teacher was looking. Before looking at that specific student, I observed the gaze of that teacher, "Park Woojin," and then looked back at the student, "Park Woojin."
박우진
"What..?"
.. At first glance, he doesn't seem normal like the other students. Sharp eyes, low voice, as if he just woke up from sleep. Untidy hair, school uniform..
Why do they wear their uniforms like that? I understand the magic, but... why are they wearing sleeveless tops instead of shirts?
I suppressed my annoyance and looked at the teacher with a forced smile.
담임선생님[1-2]
"Park Woojin, didn't I tell you not to sleep? Are you kidding me?"
A low, condescending tone. Ah, the teacher is angry. But what's more annoying is... that kid... Park Woojin... It seems like this isn't the first or second time he's been caught.
박우진
"Teacher, did you think it was a joke, even though you weren't listening?"
Are you provoking me? Wow, he really seems to be living life to the fullest. I've only heard of that... bitch-my-way? He seems to be living it with that kind of feeling.
담임선생님[1-2]
"Park Woojin, get out."
..Wow, I didn't know the teacher would use the word "get out." Teachers don't usually use that word.
박우진
"Phew... Ah, it was fun, teacher."
The kid named Park Woojin smiled once, looked back and forth between me and the teacher, then quickly lost his expression and left the classroom through the back door.
Wow, awesome.
담임선생님[1-2]
" .. Ugh, what should I do with that guy.. "
..big, ah.. I looked at the teacher and then turned my gaze back to the students.
담임선생님[1-2]
"Ahem, okay... the female lead's seat..."
.. Oh, right. My seat... Now that I think about it, I didn't even realize I was standing there because I was looking at that guy named Park Woojin.
I feel it now, my legs hurt a little.
담임선생님[1-2]
"Well, the heroine..."
The teacher continued to look at the students, then grabbed my shoulder and spoke solemnly.
담임선생님[1-2]
"My lady,"
김여주
" yes..? "
Hey, teacher... why are you being so scary?... I swallowed my words hard, holding them back in my throat.
담임선생님[1-2]
"I'm sorry. Yeoju, you..."
I gulped, swallowing the dry saliva in the back of my throat.
담임선생님[1-2]
"Park Woojin... he's sitting next to me."
Kukung...!
김여주
" ..yes? "
What? Teacher?? Did I hear that wrong?? No, why am I sitting there?!... Of course, I can't even say it out loud.
담임선생님[1-2]
"Ahem, there are no seats left besides the one next to Park Woojin."
Pupil earthquake.. Wow, my mind is shaking...!! Oh, God.. Why are you giving me this ordeal...!!
김여주
"Oh, it's okay."
Oh my god..?? What the heck am I doing.... Oh, I'm screwed.. You want to share the same position as that punk? Are you crazy??
Rather than being paired up with that punk, I think it would be faster to just leave this school and transfer..
담임선생님[1-2]
"Yeah, that's good..."
The teacher looked noticeably relieved... Ah, then... I guess I can't refuse...? Haha, I guess I shouldn't have transferred.
담임선생님[1-2]
"Well then, go and sit down."
..with a trembling heart, one step.., two steps.. I pretend to be okay, and with an indifferent expression, I walk to the seat next to Park Woojin..
Wow, wow. We're already here... Are you crazy...?
김여주
" after.. "
With a gasp of breath, I hung my bag on the hook, pulled up a chair, and sat down. Barely...
담임선생님[1-2]
"Okay, then you should study on your own for now."
.. Oh my, I sat down.. and it made me even sadder.
No, I can somehow cover up the fact that it's a gangster seat... but the back seat... the very back seat of the class...!!!
김여주
"My eyesight is not good... [small]"
My eyesight is really bad, and I'm sitting in the very back seat next to a punk... I'm really unlucky.
Ah.., but there is a silver lining in this misfortune,
It's class time now... and it's also self-study time... what should I do with this time?
What, draw a picture or something? Write a novel??.. Hmm..? Should I just.. sleep??
Yeah, let's go to sleep. I don't think I'll be able to rest during break time anyway... Let's go to sleep.
I don't know what that punk will do next time... Go to sleep. I already had a hard time getting to school early this morning.
Well... I wish I could wake up during break time.
