The aesthetics of youth
#1 - Unprecedented
Flower buds have already sprouted in the apartment flower bed.
The tri-colored ornamental bulbs that had once tangled around the bare branches have long since vanished without a trace.
The sub-zero temperatures that required hot packs have now risen to above zero.
It marked the beginning of the ever-changing month of March.
March is a month when many things change.
The female protagonist also ages by one year.
There have been changes such as being a little taller than last year,
Naturally, there are many things surrounding the female protagonist as well.
Like the female protagonist, she pursued her own changes.
Yeoju didn't like March that much because of the periodic changes that came,
It's not that I disliked it.
전원우
…Kim Yeo-ju?
전원우
What are you thinking?
Even though a whirlwind of change comes every March,
Because Wonwoo was the only one who silently stayed by my side.
김여주
I don't think about anything―.
From the bag that weighs down your shoulders more than usual
I also have to get used to the unfamiliar road I am seeing for the first time.
It's also a shame to have to be in the same space with people you don't know under the pretext of being in the same class.
It was so hard for me.
전원우
But, since earlier
전원우
Why do you keep looking at my face?
전원우
What's on my face?
But every year, even in those difficult moments,
Because Wonwoo was always by my side
I was able to get through March safely, a month that was tossed around by changes.
김여주
Hey, you ate rice wrapped in seaweed for breakfast, right?
전원우
How did you know…? Did you ask?
김여주
huh.
When Wonwoo rubbed his mouth with his hand in a hurry,
I chuckled and revealed that I was joking.
김여주
Ugly.
김여주
I buried it all, hey!
전원우
Ah, Kim Yeo-ju, really… When was this joke?
전원우
Don't joke around,
전원우
Really not there?
김여주
It's a bit disappointing, but... it's gone. It's clean, very clean.
Wonwoo, who entered the school as the top student, heard that he had to take the student representative oath.
I stayed up all day and night shivering for several days.
Even on the way to school, I could see that Wonwoo was very nervous.
It was fortunate that the joke could relieve Wonwoo's tension, even if only for a moment.
김여주
A kid who can't even go out…
Looking at Wonwoo who seemed to be shrinking for no reason
I muttered to myself without realizing it.
전원우
Huh? What? I didn't hear you.
김여주
It's nothing.
I mumbled something to Wonwoo who was wondering,
He grabbed Wonwoo's wrist and said, "Let's go quickly."
전원우
Hey, hey…!
김여주
You should go quickly and practice taking the oath.
김여주
They say that if you don't practice, you get more nervous.
김여주
Okay, let's go quickly!
Wonwoo looked a little embarrassed,
Still, he followed me without saying a word.
김여주
Wonwoo, you will do well.
김여주
Because you are that kind of person.
Grabbing Wonwoo's wrist
Because I was a few steps ahead of Wonwoo,
My sincere encouragement, given in a small way
Unfortunately, it was impossible to know whether Wonwoo heard it or not.
⠀
김여주
Oh my, what should I do with him…
Before Wonwoo climbed up onto the stage,
I keep seeing him shaking and sweating profusely.
There was a time when I was worried whether Wonwoo would be able to carry out his oath well.
The entrance ceremony, which seemed like it would never begin, has begun.
Wonwoo, my worries were in vain,
전원우
With the arrival of warm spring
전원우
There are 221 of us
전원우
I attended the entrance ceremony of Sebong High School.
I have completed the oath perfectly.
Reciting the oath following Wonwoo's voice
I have solidified my position as a student at Sebong High School.
Out of a total of 220 students
That there are people who bring youth into my quiet daily life,
Meeting them is not far away
At that time, when I had just finished the entrance ceremony, I had no idea.
