My first love at kindergarten, met through an advertisement
01. Preliminary call-up date
The three years of middle school are over and the preliminary draft date is just around the corner.
한주연
What did I do that it's already the preliminary assembly day...?
현승희
Oh, really... It's already the preliminary assembly day...
최예나
Seunghee and I are in the same place so it's okay...
현승희
You're the only one who's announcing it.
한주연
Yeah... I feel like worry is already weighing on my shoulders.
최예나
How about you just stay a little over a semester and then transfer to our school during the vacation?
한주연
I can't go because I've already found a house. I can't go.
최예나
How long did it take?
현승희
It takes a little over an hour to get to our new house.
최예나
It's so far away...
한주연
I know...
현승희
When is your preliminary assembly?
한주연
Next Thursday.
현승희
We're tomorrow...
한주연
Why is it so fast?
현승희
Yeah... why is it so fast?
한주연
You guys are having a hard time too...
최예나
You must have suffered the most.
한주연
why?
현승희
You're going to the announcement alone. There won't be many female students there.
한주연
Well, that's true...
최예나
I heard there were no female students at all last year.
현승희
Is that possible?
한주연
Is it possible?
최예나
I don't know because I'm not the principal there.
한주연
Hmm... I guess it will happen this year.
현승희
That's right, since there's a lead role this year, there's at least one female student.
한주연
You really...
최예나
But that's true.
한주연
... right...?
현승희
Hahaha let's go eat.
최예나
okay.
한주연
huh...
Time passed quickly and Seunghee and Yena were assigned to different classes.
And today
한주연
Preliminary... convocation day...
It's already the preliminary assembly day.
한주연
Would it be a good idea to wear makeup?
한주연
If you say no, you might get in trouble...
한주연
But there are too many eyes watching me to not do that...
한주연
No, no one will care about me.
한주연
No, but since it's our first time meeting, should we just talk for a little bit...?
I think I've been thinking about this for over 10 minutes.
In the end, I just applied a little bit of tone-up cream and lip balm.
한주연
I think it was a good idea to get eyebrow tattoos.
I put my pencil case and water bottle in my bag and looked around to see if there was anything else I needed to pack.
I looked around and put the notebook next to the dressing table into my bag.
한주연
But who did you get the note from...?
I don't remember who I got it from, but I'm sure I used it for a long time.
한주연
Did you receive it as a gift when you entered elementary school?
I'm sure it's an elementary school entrance gift.
한주연
Um... I guess I should go out...?
As soon as I put my bag on and opened the front door, I closed it again.
한주연
It's a bit colder than I thought...?
I opened the closet and took out the padding that was in the corner.
한주연
Oh, the smell...
I saw another padding hanging on the hanger.
It was a black long padding jacket I bought early last year.
한주연
Wouldn't it be cold if it were like this?
I put on my padding and tied my hair back up.
Put the hot pack that you prepared in advance in the corner into your pocket.
I left the house.
Something is clearly wrong.
No matter how much I look around, there are no female students.
한주연
There will be.
If you look in front, behind, or on either side, there are no female students.
Now I realize that I may have chosen the wrong school.
한주연
I regret only seeing one fruit...
I chose this school because of my career path, but I ended up not having a single friend during my three years of high school.
한주연
If you go to the gym, it will be there.
does not exist.
There really isn't any.
I took a deep breath, went to the center of the gym, and received the paper.
한주연
Class C...
C-foot...
We sat on the gym floor by class and listened to various things like the school structure, school rules, uniforms, etc.
한주연
I'm sleepy.
I'm so sleepy.
이승기
Now everyone go to your classes.
As soon as he finished speaking, the kids all rushed out.
I followed the boys into the school building.
I think I'm the only one in our class.
한주연
I'm sure a lot of people went out, so why am I the only one?
Honestly, I think it would be the same no matter who is there.
When I was sitting in the back row, blankly staring at the blackboard
Two boys came in through the front door.
도경수
That's why you should have backed it up there.
변백현
Did I know it would fly away like that?
도경수
You should have gone to the store and asked them to back it up first. Why are you doing it alone?
변백현
Oh, but I did find it.
도경수
What were you going to do if it weren't for me?
변백현
If not you, then who else? I'll go to you.
The two boys sat in the front row talking.
도경수
Ah, don't come, you rascal.
변백현
Do you hate me that much?
도경수
We've been together for 10 years.
변백현
It's so disgusting.
도경수
Sit apart.
변백현
Oh, I hate it.
도경수
Then I'll go to the last seat.
변백현
Oh, I want to go too.
도경수
...do as you wish.
If you're in the very back...
There's only one seat left beside me?
hmm?????
I looked at the two people in turn as they came to the seat in front of me.
도경수
Um... Should I just sit in the front?
한주연
Uh...? No, I'll go ahead. You two sit here.
도경수
Oh, thank you.
I quickly sat down in the seat right in front of the podium.
도경수
It's fortunate that there are good people in our class.
변백현
I'm a good person.
도경수
Does a good person put UBS in water?
변백현
No, that's...
변백현
But it was dried well and recovered.
도경수
If I had stayed even one more minute, I wouldn't have been able to recover.
변백현
Yes, sorry.
도경수
okay.
Those two must be close.
Well, since we've been friends for 10 years, we should be close.
I wish I had a friend who could last 10 years.
I took out my notebook and pencil case from my bag and opened the last page.
On the very last page, it was written like this: 큥♡연.
Yeon looks like me, but who the hell is Hyeon?
Did you date anyone in elementary school?
As I was doodling small doodles on the last page, more and more people started coming in and the classroom quickly became noisy.
How come I'm the only girl in your class...
The front door opened again and a man came in and stood in front of the podium.
김준면
Everyone, thank you for your hard work today at the preliminary meeting.
김준면
My name is Kim Junmyeon, your homeroom teacher.
김준면
I look forward to working with you in the future. Since I'm new to this school, I plan to continue asking questions about things I don't know.
이승기
Let's stop greeting and go in, Junmyeon.
김준면
Yes, teacher.
김준면
My name is Kim Junmyeon, and I will be staying with you from now on.
김준면
Don't misunderstand, I'm a student.
이승기
Let's go in nicely, Junmyeon.
김준면
yes.
Something is strange about this class.
이승기
Hmm. Well, everyone worked hard this morning at the preliminary assembly.
이승기
My name is Seungki Lee, and I am your homeroom teacher for the past year.
이승기
Choose one of these three and call it Seunggi-ssi, Seunggi-ssi, or Seunggi-seonsaeng.
이승기
If you just say Seunggi, it means reading the Tripitaka Koreana and writing a review.
이승기
Friends who have seen the podium will know that the paper on the podium is nothing special.
이승기
Here's a flyer about school uniforms. I hope everyone receives it and buys and wears their uniforms.
이승기
Even if you don't wear a school uniform when you go to school, you can still read the Tripitaka Koreana.
이승기
Anyone have any questions?
변백현
Teacher Seunggi, have you read the Tripitaka Koreana?
이승기
No. That's why I wanted to ask the person who read it about the content.
이승기
Any more questions?
한주연
excuse me...
이승기
Yeah, tell me.
한주연
Are there any more female students...?
이승기
There are only two girls enrolled this year, so you're the last in our class.
한주연
ah...
이승기
Is it really gone now?
김준면
I'm curious about Seunggi's first love.
이승기
What kind of first love is this on the day of the preliminary assembly? I don't want to hear any old-fashioned criticism, so let's end it here.
이승기
Just take the Korean, English, and Math textbooks listed in front of you. The rest will be given to you on the entrance ceremony day.
이승기
The entrance ceremony is on March 2nd, so don't forget and come to school safely.
이승기
The classroom is here, so don't get confused.
이승기
This is the 5th floor, so exercise hard and come up safely.
이승기
Those who took the textbooks, let's each go our separate ways.
The teacher finished speaking and left.
The children crowded around the teacher's desk.
I already have a feeling that it's going to be really difficult.
