That guy in the dance studio,

Episode 01. Inside the warehouse, a suspicious door

A bustling and free lunch time.

Playing soccer at the playground

Children chatting in the classroom,

And a student council that helps run the school.

Unlike other children who enjoy free time

Our student council gathers again today to hold a meeting, taking up precious time… .

A cool summer breeze comes in through the window,

One by one, the student council friends begin to gather in the conference room.

"Ugh... Do we always meet up like this?"

"Okay... Can't we finish it all at once?"

"I can't even play for nothing....."

"This damn student council!"

A few people, dissatisfied with the frequent meetings, sit down and grumble.

But what can we do? They came in because they wanted to do it.

한여주

……

한여주

Hey, guys, don't whine so much.

한여주

You guys also applied to the student council because you wanted to do it, right?

한여주

They always give you snacks when you're done, so let's finish quickly and get some snacks..!

".....Yes, Manager."

I'm the head of that damn student council. That is, the captain.

The children quickly backed down and became quiet after hearing just a few words from me.

When everyone had gathered, the teacher came in through the front door.

" hello ~ "

선생님

Is it because we meet too often?

선생님

Everyone's exhausted~

선생님

Today will end early, so let's just hang in there for a little longer, guys.

선생님

Are there any friends who are so insincere that they skip meetings?

선생님

I believe there is none and I will start right away~

선생님

Today, we'll wrap things up by dividing up the roles for next week's event and giving some guidance.

선생님

Before that… .

선생님

Lady, did you move the whiteboard that was here to the storage room?

한여주

Whiteboard…?

한여주

Oh, I moved it after the meeting yesterday because I thought I wouldn't need it...

한여주

Should I bring it back?

선생님

Hey, can you bring it to me?

선생님

I'll give the other kids paper and pens, so take one each~

한여주

The whiteboard….

한여주

Here it is.

한여주

I have to go quickly… .

한여주

.....

한여주

.....hmm.

Suddenly, another door inside the warehouse came into view.

I've been attending this school for over a year and I've never once gone through that door.

I hadn't even thought about going in, but today I was brimming with curiosity.

한여주

What the heck..?

한여주

Should we go in…?

Turbuck

Turbuck -

Turbuck_

As I got closer, I felt like I could sense a presence.

No, I felt it.

There was a sound like shoes and the floor were sliding and scraping.

I was a little scared to go in there myself because it was obvious that someone was there.

So I tried to look through the translucent window,

It was so foggy I could barely see anything.

한여주

...Uh, but I think you said last time that you shouldn't go in here... .

한여주

Yeah, I guess I'll go in and ask if they have permission..!

Crash

Clank -

I thought of a good method and opened the door slightly.

Swish -

I peeked inside through a small crack in the door.

I thought it was probably a dance studio because one wall was made of mirrors. I had no idea our school had a dance studio.

And inside, a man was wearing plainclothes training clothes and dancing while listening to music with earphones.

I think he was one of the teachers at our school.

I was just going to check it out and leave, but his dancing skills were no ordinary skill.

I had some interest in dancing because I had learned how to dance when I was young, so I got absorbed in it without realizing it and kept watching the man dancing.

한여주

……

I remembered myself dancing with my friends at the academy when I was in the 5th grade of elementary school, and the corners of my mouth went up involuntarily. As I continued to watch, I felt a little healed.

한여주

....he

한여주

Ah, I miss the kids I used to dance with.

한여주

......

한여주

Huh? That dance…

When I looked closely, I saw that the dance the man was doing was a choreography I knew.

I don't know the title of the song, but it was a familiar dance that I felt like I had learned before.

I was so happy that I started to move my body following the man without realizing it.

한여주

What kind of dance was it...?

한여주

Ugh, I don’t remember the song…

Bam,

Boom!

thud-

While I was dancing, I accidentally hit the shelf next to me with my elbow. As a result, the basket of colored pencils that had been placed precariously high up fell on my head and then crashed to the floor with a loud noise.

한여주

Ouch! My head...

My head and elbows both hurt. I sighed as I looked at the messy floor. I rubbed the injured area and felt pain when I suddenly came to my senses.

한여주

.....Oh, that's right.

Stroke -)

한여주

……

I sensed something big was going on and turned my head toward the dance studio. Of course, I made eye contact with the man dancing and he seemed to be very flustered. I was flustered as well and my body froze.

한여주

Uh, uh......

한여주

'I'm screwed...'

?

.....?

?

who are you....?

한여주

Yes...? Oh, that's...

Turbuck

Turbuck -

Turbuck

Turbuck_

The man walked toward me step by step.

The closer I got, the faster my heart beat. I felt like it was going to burst at any moment.

?

How did you come..?

The man standing in front of me opened the door all the way and looked at me suspiciously.

한여주

....uh..,

한여주

....Uh.., hello..?

한여주

Oh, the weather today is really, really nice...

?

yes?

My hair turned white and I kept talking nonsense. I was so embarrassed and sorry that I wanted to get out of there quickly.

?

excuse me...

한여주

Haha, then I'm...

한여주

Oh oh...!

I stepped back to quickly get out of the warehouse and ended up stepping on some colored pencils lying on the floor.

Just when I was about to slip and fall like an idiot,

Tub -

Tub_

Wow -))

Wow -)

Po-ok_

한여주

......!

?

……

?

Are you okay..?

The man who had been hastily grabbing my arm as I almost fell backwards wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into his arms.

My breath hitched. Feeling my face turn red, I quickly got out of the man's arms, made a quick apology, and left the warehouse.

한여주

S, I'm sorry, teacher..!
