slowly..

entrance into school

It's 7:00 in the morning, her first day as a high school student, but Yeoju is still in dreamland.

Pappappa papa babpapapa Good morning papappapa babpapapa papa papa papa papa babpapa Beautiful day~ oh, it’s a Beautiful day

The alarm rings.

이여주 image

이여주

widely!

이여주 image

이여주

… What time.. (checks phone)

이여주 image

이여주

Ugh!! I'm screwed. 😳

(The alarm was supposed to be set for 6:00, but yesterday's female protagonist confused 7 and 6.)

The heroine quickly prepared to go out.

엄마 image

엄마

Hey, eat before you go! (He grabs the female lead who is trying to leave.)

이여주 image

이여주

No, Mom!! I'm lateㅠㅠ It takes 30 minutes by subway from here, but I have to get there by 8:00 at the latest!!!..

이여주 image

이여주

It’s still tight now…

I feel a very burdensome gaze from the side.

아빠 image

아빠

..Yeoju, you have to eat, right?^^ Dad says he's against our Yeoju skipping meals just because she's a high school student^

이여주 image

이여주

..yes..

The female protagonist finished breakfast in 5 minutes and left the house again.

이여주 image

이여주

I'll be back!!

Yeoju ran to the subway station.

Dadadadada

지하철 image

The door closes. Tiring, tiring, tiring.

Tad.!…

이여주 image

이여주

Phew~.

이여주 image

이여주

It was close... If I miss this, I'll be really late.

The female protagonist sat in the remaining seat and looked at her cell phone.

지하철 image

지하철

This is station 00, 00. The exit door is on the right.

Yeoju got off the subway and headed to school.

The heroine looked around here and there as if looking for someone.

Oh my! My lady~~

이여주 image

이여주

Hyunju!!

The two hugged each other tightly as if it were a family reunion.

이여주 image

이여주

Are we in the same class?

윤현주 image

윤현주

That's right, that's right... Wow, we're really meant to be together, right?

이여주 image

이여주

Really

Yeo-ju and Hyun-ju have known each other since before their parents married, and they've been friends since they were babies. They went to the same kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school together, so they're practically soulmates.

윤현주 image

윤현주

Should we go in now?

이여주 image

이여주

huh

Drumroll

Classrooms 1-5

There's still an awkward atmosphere in the class.

이여주 image

이여주

… The atmosphere isn’t bright^^;;(whispering)

윤현주 image

윤현주

Yeah... We didn't come early either. It's almost 10 o'clock and we haven't even said anything yet ㅠㅠ

이여주 image

이여주

..sob

Yeo-ju is a shy person, so the class atmosphere is always important to her. So, she's starting to worry about this year.

윤현주 image

윤현주

Hey, let's sit down by the window.

이여주 image

이여주

(Nodding)

Yeoju and Hyunju sat down. Yeoju sat behind her, and Hyunju sat in front. There was one more seat left behind, and in that seat, a male student was wearing a headset and drawing in his workbook.

이여주 image

이여주

….//..

The heroine felt her face flush slightly.

The teacher comes in.

Drumroll

Nodding

담임쌤 image

담임쌤

Okay, hello?

반 아이들 image

반 아이들

담임쌤 image

담임쌤

I'm your unit leader and in charge of history. I won't make a long story short. Let's not cause any major incidents this year, and let's get along well and make good memories!

반 아이들 image

반 아이들

yes..

담임쌤 image

담임쌤

Okay, choose your electives this week, and then go see your teacher and take the orientation. And…

The first morning of high school passed by so quickly.

윤현주 image

윤현주

Phew..

윤현주 image

윤현주

Wow. High school is really tough.. I didn't know it would be this hard.

윤현주 image

윤현주

Oh, and we have to hit the 3rd one too!

이여주 image

이여주

already??

윤현주 image

윤현주

Yeah... Honestly, I don't know why they're doing 3-mo.

이여주 image

이여주

Seriously, I didn't learn anything and the scope is middle school level.

윤현주 image

윤현주

Middle school level? Then I don't have to study.

Hyunju picked up some vegetables with chopsticks and looked at them from all sides as she spoke.

The heroine thought for a moment and then answered.

이여주 image

이여주

Well... shouldn't we look at it with the mindset of reviewing?

윤현주 image

윤현주

(Shrug) You do it.. I won't do it.

??| image

??|

excuse me…

윤현주 image

윤현주

??…

Can we sit next to each other?

A child with long hair and cat-like eyes was holding a tray with a child with short hair.

윤현주 image

윤현주

of course!

이여주 image

이여주

Yeah, it's okay^

??| image

??|

thank you,,

As the two children sat down facing each other, Hyunju spoke.

윤현주 image

윤현주

You're in class 1-5, right? What's your name?

강나은 image

강나은

My name is Kang Na-eun.

하지예 image

하지예

No, you guys?

윤현주 image

윤현주

I'm Yoon Hyun-joo

이여주 image

이여주

I am Lee Yeo-ju..

강나은 image

강나은

Is the female lead a bit shy?

이여주 image

이여주

Yeah.. haha

이여주 image

이여주

But once you become close, you talk a lot and stuff^

하지예 image

하지예

oh..

강나은 image

강나은

But have you decided on your electives??

윤현주 image

윤현주

I'm just attracted to it lol

하지예 image

하지예

What are you attracted to? Evande

이여주 image

이여주

Um... maybe..?

강나은 image

강나은

I decided on two...

강나은 image

강나은

I'm going crazy. I'm a high school student.

하지예 image

하지예

Haha, so you're a high school student or a middle school student?

강나은 image

강나은

No, I don't. Believe it. Long. All. Go!! Huh? Empathize with me.

윤현주 image

윤현주

Hahahaha you're so funny hahaha

The heroine made new friends.

Druk

이여주 image

이여주

so??

하지예 image

하지예

Well, just block it

윤현주 image

윤현주

What? That ends in a block??!

하지예 image

하지예

huh.

강나은 image

강나은

-.-;;

강나은 image

강나은

Jiyeyaa... Oh my gosh

하지예 image

하지예

Why? It would have been better if it was just blocked.

윤현주 image

윤현주

But the incident with the guy I like doesn't end with a block.

윤현주 image

윤현주

I need to go find his story and bomb him with comments.

이여주 image

이여주

Rather than that, it's weirder to just tell girls who have been caught that it's a fishing ground...

윤현주 image

윤현주

Mom, are you really thinking of doing that?

강나은 image

강나은

..Evaim

이여주 image

이여주

?

하지예 image

하지예

You want me to DM a stranger and say, ‘Hey, you’re a fishmonger,,’?

이여주 image

이여주

blanket

He answered, pulling Naeun, who was taking his seat, to sit down.

윤현주 image

윤현주

Eva is right...

하지예 image

하지예

Really

When the four stopped talking and turned their heads towards him, the tips of the boy's ears turned slightly red.

뒷자리 남학생 image

뒷자리 남학생

It's too noisy... and

Point to the female protagonist with your hand.

뒷자리 남학생 image

뒷자리 남학생

It's a bit uncomfortable because your feet are touching my desk.

이여주 image

이여주

..

The heroine found herself leaning her elbow on Kang Na-eun's shoulder, who was sitting in her chair, with one leg stretched out.

이여주 image

이여주

..! sorry..

The heroine quickly straightened her posture.

이여주 image

이여주

Sorry.. I'll be careful.

When the female protagonist looked at the male student, their eyes met.

이여주 image

이여주

…(cute..//

The boy's dark brown hair glowed a soft golden hue in the warm afternoon sunlight streaming through the window. The white headset hanging around his neck matched it perfectly.

Her eyes were a deep, dark color. They were sharp yet gentle. As these thoughts raced through her mind, the heroine felt something warm melting in her chest.

A certain emotion flashed through the boy's eyes as they met, and the female protagonist stared into his eyes even more intently, feeling a vague sense of knowing something.

윤현주 image

윤현주

Hey, .. hey! hey!!

윤현주 image

윤현주

This woman!!

이여주 image

이여주

(Surprise)!!

At Hyunseo's shout, the female protagonist and the male student looked at Hyunseo in surprise.

이여주 image

이여주

..why??

이여주 image

이여주

(What did I do wrong?..

윤현주 image

윤현주

..under..

Hyunseo was speechless at the sight of his innocent eyes.

윤현주 image

윤현주

Heroine... Come out of your sleep,,

Yeoju stood there as if she didn't know what was going on, and then followed Hyunseo.

강나은 image

강나은

Hahahahahahaha

하지예 image

하지예

강나은 image

강나은

뒷자리 남학생

Huh? Me?

강나은 image

강나은

뒷자리 남학생 image

뒷자리 남학생

Me, why?

The male student looked at Naeun and Jiye with the same eyes as the female protagonist.

강나은 image

강나은

..you really don't know??

뒷자리 남학생 image

뒷자리 남학생

..?

하지예 image

하지예

Leave it to me.. I'll figure it out..

강나은 image

강나은

하지예 image

하지예

What the heck, not all men are like that, huh?

강나은 image

강나은

Still.. this is my first time seeing someone like this;;

뒷자리 남학생 image

뒷자리 남학생

..??? What did I.. do wrong?..

강나은 image

강나은

no..

하지예 image

하지예

Yeah, you don't have to know lol

The boy, who had tilted his head once, turned back to his workbook. He didn't even notice his own ears turning red.

Yeoju followed Hyunju out into the hallway.

이여주 image

이여주

Why did you call?

윤현주 image

윤현주

.. Really.. Don't you know?

이여주 image

이여주

???

윤현주 image

윤현주

Hey;; Who met eyes with a guy I saw for the first time today..

Hyunju looked up at the sky, resting her hand on her forehead.

이여주 image

이여주

Why... can't we? We can make eye contact.

윤현주 image

윤현주

Hey.. you locked eyes with that guy for 30 seconds and you weren't excited?

이여주 image

이여주

Uh... why is that exciting?

The heroine touched her forehead again.

윤현주 image

윤현주

No.. I forgot that I don't have any romantic interest in you..

이여주 image

이여주

Hey, I have love cells!!

The female protagonist got angry and retorted.

이여주 image

이여주

I have love cells, I do!! But I'm still clumsy.

윤현주 image

윤현주

Yeah, yeah

이여주 image

이여주

…;

윤현주 image

윤현주

Come here

Hyun-ju took Yeo-ju closer to the class window. Beyond the window, she could see a male student sitting at the end of the row.

이여주 image

이여주

why?

윤현주 image

윤현주

Look, look, look...

이여주 image

이여주

What are you looking at;;

윤현주 image

윤현주

What do you see first?

이여주 image

이여주

Um... my seat?

윤현주 image

윤현주

.. no, look at the back seat

Hyunju sighed deeply and said.

이여주 image

이여주

That boy? The one from before?

윤현주 image

윤현주

Yeah, you bitch

이여주 image

이여주

… that's oh..

윤현주 image

윤현주

No!!! Hey!! Look at his ears!!!

Hyun-ju got angry and pressed Yeo-ju's face against the window.

이여주 image

이여주

Huh.. Huh? Pretty! Euigeu pretty!! (Huh? Red! Red ears!!)

When the female protagonist answered, Hyun-ju let go of her face.

윤현주 image

윤현주

Yeah, you idiot. Now you get it, right?

이여주 image

이여주

… !!

This couple is just getting started.

And the fact that Yeo-ju still doesn't know Beom-gyu's name!

Since they are both timid, the story may progress a bit slowly.

I upload my work once or twice a week.

I won't be able to come for two weeks starting next week because of finalsㅜㅜ
