To you who is hurt
# New semester
The auditorium was busy hosting a freshman welcome ceremony and opening ceremony. After the principal's address and the ceremony concluded, the students checked their class numbers.
And someone sighed in despair.
??
under...
Do Kyungsoo, why? Kyungsoo smiled awkwardly at the short, sharp question and continued speaking.
도경수
No, I was just worried that I wouldn't be in the same class as you.
김종인
What class are you in?
도경수
Class 6.
Me? Oh really?... Really? Jong-in chuckled at Kyung-soo's delayed reaction, as if he found it amusing, and walked forward, putting his arm around his shoulder and telling them to stand in line.
Jong-in stood behind the boy, and Kyung-soo stood right behind him. Jong-in turned around for a moment, faced Kyung-soo, and they chatted.
Kyungsoo stumbled after bumping into someone, and Jongin caught him. Sehun, who had bumped into Kyungsoo, hung up the phone and apologized.
오세훈
Sorry, I didn't see it because I was looking for the line-
도경수
are you okay.
오세훈
What class is this?
김종인
Class 6.
오세훈
Oh, you're in class 6? Oh, but did you know that Byun Baekhyun is in our class too?
“Who is he?” Sehun asked in surprise, “Do you really not know?”
오세훈
There you go.
Baekhyun, with his cute yet sharp appearance, appeared with bandages on his neck, arms, and forehead. Chanyeol, standing behind Baekhyun, smiled brightly and put his arm around Baekhyun's shoulder, placing him behind Sehun.
박찬열
Oh, what? Oh Sehun, were you in class 6 too?
오세훈
Oh, what's up, Park Chan? You're in class 6 too? I was so embarrassed because I didn't know anyone, but now I'm relieved.
박찬열
Baekhyun, hello. We were in the same class last year.
변백현
Oh, what- again. The kid's been introducing himself to all sorts of kids since a while ago.
박찬열
Ugh..
변백현
.. Hello. Are you okay? Stop it now, Inma
박찬열
Yeah yeah
Sehun found Baekhyun's personality surprisingly attentive to Chanyeol's words. Even though they didn't know each other's names, the five of them were conversing.
As they were starting to speak awkwardly, all the students in class 6 turned around at the sound of Junmyeon's voice coming from behind them.
김준면
Since we finished checking the attendance of Class 6, Grade 2, the homeroom teacher told us to go up to the classroom.
As they were taking their seats one by one, Sehun, who saw Junmyeon left alone, approached him.
오세훈
I don't have anyone to sit with, so do you want to sit with me?
김준면
Oh... is that okay?
오세훈
Yeah, I'm going to sit with them. Is that okay?
Yeah. Sehun followed Junmyeon's answer and said, "Let's go."
The class became quiet as soon as the homeroom teacher came in.
담임
First off, my name is Kim Ah-young. As those of you who took my class last year know, I'm in charge of math. It's currently counseling week, so if no one wants to go first, I'll go by number order.
The students all responded in unison to their homeroom teacher's words. Leaving their homeroom teacher behind, who had hurriedly left for a faculty meeting, the students all began to chatter.
박찬열
Oh, by the way, you know our language, but you don't know our name! My name is Park Chanyeol.
오세훈
I am Oh Se-hoon.
김종인
This is Kim Jong-in, and this is Do Kyung-soo.
도경수
Hey, what's your name?
김준면
Oh, me?
도경수
huh
김준면
Ah.. Kim Junmyeon.
“I think I’ve roughly introduced myself,” Chanyeol mumbled, tapping Baekhyun with his elbow.
박찬열
You should tell me your name, Inma.
변백현
Ha.. Stop being so annoying - Byun Baekhyun, are you okay?
It was Baekhyun who turned his gaze back to his phone.
김종인
Is he originally a nerd?
Baekhyun, startled by Jongin's words that were blurted out, raised his head and looked at Jongin.
변백현
What did you say?
김종인
I asked if you were originally a thief.
"What's it to you?" Baekhyun said, dumbfounded.
김종인
I'm saying this because I think your friend might want to be friends with us.
박찬열
Hey, what's wrong with you two since the first day of school? Just be friends. Calm down, both of you.
변백현
Hey. Who would be friends with a bitch like you?
김종인
I won't be friends with you either. But I'll be friends with Park Chanyeol.
"You son of a bitch!" Jongin followed Baekhyun, who had jumped up in anger. The class atmosphere had become chilly, and Kyungsoo was trembling from the harsh conversation and the behavior that seemed like they were about to fight. Just then, a passing teacher, Mr. Hakju, entered, and the situation between the two was interrupted.
학주
Hey Kim Jong-in, I warned you at the school gate today to stay still. Stop engaging in childish wars of nerves and just live your life.
김종인
Oh yes.
Jong-in gave a short answer, and the teacher closed the door and left. "Okay, let's stop. Sorry for picking a fight." Jong-in gave a brief apology, and as he was about to sit down, Baekhyun grabbed Jong-in's shoulder and clothes.
변백현
Hey, you fucking take responsibility for the situation you created?
김종인
No, I'm sorry. Stop it, you little bitch. Can't you see that I'm making a fuss?
Kyungsoo's hand trembled as he grabbed the hem of Jongin's uniform. Baekhyun, feeling weakened by Kyungsoo's presence, let go of Jongin's collar and sat down.
Sehun and Chanyeol nodded, as if they'd seen the future, then shook their heads. They both instinctively knew that Baekhyun and Jongin would never become close.
[Jong-in]
Q
What do you think about the new semester (class, friends)?
김종인
Well, ah- except for that thick-skinned Byun Baekhyun, everything else is worth watching.
Q
Is there anything inconvenient?
김종인
no.
[Junmyeon]
Q
Are you adjusting well to the new semester?
김준면
Yes. I'm just studying without any chance of adapting anyway.
Q
Is there anything uncomfortable?
김준면
I don't know because I don't feel anything while studying. Well.
[Kyungsoo]
Q
Are you adjusting well to the new semester?
도경수
Yes. In my own way. I'm close with Jong-in, so I'm glad we're in the same class.
[Chanyeol]
Q
Are you adjusting well to the new semester? How are you and your friends?
박찬열
Yes, friends, and adapting are all good!
Q
Is there anything uncomfortable?
박찬열
Yes, there isn't!
[Baekhyun]
Q
Are you adjusting well to the new semester?
변백현
It's a shame that Kim Jong-in isn't here, it would be easier to adapt.
Q
Are you feeling any discomfort?
변백현
There's nothing I hate about Kim Jong-in.
Q
Is Jong-in bothering you?
변백현
No, our personalities just don't match.
[Sehun]
Q
How's the new semester going? Are you adjusting well?
오세훈
Yes - it's okay. It's also fun to watch Baekhyun and Jongin fight.
Q
Are you two fighting badly?
오세훈
No, it's not that bad - Chanyeol Park plays a part in restraining the two.
Even though I've only uploaded episode 1, many people are looking forward to it... haha, thank you.
The final cue is part of the consultation with the homeroom teacher at the beginning of the semester. Although not every story, I plan to share some of the content of the consultation with a key character in a major or specific story, or occasionally in a story.
And, as of yesterday, I had about 95 percent of the children's characters set up. So I've modified some of the prologue character introductions accordingly.
Well then, please enjoy. Thank you.
