"Juyeon, are you feeling okay today?"

The spring season has returned, bringing us back to school after a long vacation.

I needed to get a good night's sleep because I had to go to school, but strangely enough, I feel like I've been completely rested today, almost like I passed out.

Is this really a perfect condition?

김조연 (17)

"Ah. I don't know why, but I guess I didn't have a dream today."

Are you lucky today?

It feels strange that I suddenly stopped having the dreams I used to have every day.

I feel a bit... empty. I'm sure it's just my imagination that I miss cats today.

"Oh~ Did you go to the fortune teller I helped you find?"

김조연 (17)

"Ugh. Don't even mention that."

If I hear things like "it's still a past life" or "regrets" now, I feel like I'm going to throw up.

What was that old lady talking about, something that seemed like it happened around the 15th century?

When I came to my senses and listened, I just had second-year middle school syndrome... Is that it?

I wonder if she's senile or what... Seeing her still talking like a child, she seems like a grandmother who has lost her mind.

전소미 (17)

"Why? What did you say?"

김조연 (17)

"I don't like it because it seems like you believe in stories like 15th century witch hunts and things like past lives."

Did she mean that the fate of my past life would torment me in my future life? Anyway, I can't believe what that old woman said.

No, to be precise, superstitions are not to be believed.

I think it would be better for my mental and physical well-being if I could just forget it as soon as possible. I've heard too many stories and seen too many things.

"Really? I think you're quite famous in that world."

Popular or not, superstitions are just superstitions. It was foolish of me to go there and believe in them in the first place.

It was a waste of money and I came back. I haven't had a single dream since then.

There must be a reason why I suddenly stopped dreaming like this.

Somehow, my feeling that it was so strange was right.

I was sure it was a curse and that someone was looking for me, but I haven't seen anything like it since then.

And what did she say, telling me to trust cats? I didn't believe her because she was clearly a strange old lady.

김조연 (17)

"I don't think I'll ever live without that kind of person anymore."

Of course, I've been sleeping a lot more, but I think this is the first time I've felt so comfortable after sleeping like this.

My parents said that I slept for a full 12 hours, as if I had passed out.

I still can't believe it.

"Oh, the class president was looking for you. What's wrong with you?"

김조연 (17)

"Class president? Bae Yeo-ju?"

Bae Yeo-ju. A kid in our first grade who's known for being a bookworm.

You came in first in your class at the entrance ceremony, right? Was it our class?

It's already been four months since the entrance ceremony, why didn't I notice?

By the way, when was the class president elected? No, when did I even enroll in this school?

Occasionally - memories are fragmented.

What's going on? I'm sure I entered this school this year, if not last year.

Oh? Come to think of it, when was vacation again? What the heck,

"Jo Yeon-ah, the teacher is looking for you!"

김조연 (17)

"Oh, okay"

This feeling of something I remembered suddenly disappearing...

I have a feeling that this has definitely happened before.

I haven't been sleeping well lately, so I feel like my head is spinning. If I had just been sleeping normally, this wouldn't have happened.

Who would believe someone who suddenly lost their memory? They'd probably send them to a mental hospital.

For now, I'll just work hard in the present moment.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Ah, shit-"

As if I was joking, a man suddenly jumped out and bumped into me on my way, causing me to fall.

I quickly got up and shook out my uniform. Oh, no. I looked in my uniform pocket and saw my phone was broken.

I think this broke when I bumped into it and fell over earlier. What a shame.

김조연 (17)

" under. "

After taking a short breath, I ignored the person I bumped into and went on my way.

Tup- Someone grabbed my shoulder strongly and I turned around without realizing it.

김조연 (17)

"What are you doing?"

I quickly looked at the person who had bumped into me.

Black name tag... So, third year? But the outfit is...

It wasn't a lie. The tie was nowhere to be found, the uniform was slightly wrinkled, and the vest was missing.

There was a small burn on his pants? No, there was a burn mark.. and above all, that intense red hair.

And I thought.

One word that comes to mind: bully or delinquent.

100%. I was sure.

민윤기 (19)

"Oh, that's it."

His movements, which were the complete opposite of his hesitant, fierce-looking face and the clothes he was wearing, seemed to be trying to tell me something.

What the heck? Judging by the shape of his mouth, he's not swearing.

Well, if it's a common line from a gangster in a book...

민윤기 (19) image

민윤기 (19)

"Because I bumped into it..."

김조연 (17)

"You want money?"

By bumping into each other? By bumping into each other, what are you going to say next?

It doesn't seem like he's asking for money. Judging by his expression, it doesn't seem like money is his goal.

Apology? At first, the apology said, "I'm sorry."

What on earth are you trying to say?

"Hey, what are you doing there, Min Yoongi?"

Min Yoongi.. The name of the third-year senior in front of me is Min Yoongi.

By the way, that senior is also wearing a black name tag. I guess he's this senior's friend?

He was tall and had a fierce appearance. But he had the features that would make him quite popular at school, and his clothes and hair...

It was revealing its presence as much as its face.

But since a while ago, that senior named Min Yoongi has been staring at me intently. What is it? Why does he keep staring at me? Is my clothing weird? Or is my face that ugly?

I felt strangely uncomfortable when my senior, Min Yoongi, looked at me.

김조연 (17)

"If you don't have anything to say, I'm a bit busy."

I frowned and turned back, feeling the urgent need to go now that the teacher had called me.

After hastily exchanging greetings, I went straight down to the teachers' office.

"Oh, Jo Yeon-ah."

By the way, why was that senior looking at my face like that earlier?

I might be mistaken, but... that senior. He had a fierce expression, but he was also pretty.

No... what should I say, it looked like a cat?

It's my first time seeing this senior, but he seems to have left a strong impression on me. His name is...

yunki min.

김조연 (17)

"Obviously,"

It was hazy.

Just looking at his expression, it seemed like he would burst into tears at any moment.

What the heck is Min Yoongi, that guy?
