The night before school starts

My mother said.

” Do you remember Baekhui?”

” Oh, Mrs. Minha’s son.”

” Yes. It’s been a while since I called Minha and Baekhui was also assigned to your middle school?”

” Oh, yes? But? “

I must have been living well.

I’m not particularly curious.

” It’s good to know someone. Be friendly.”

” Okay.”

” Have you got all your supplies?”

” Haam, am I a child?”

” Lee Do-hee. Why are you so mean today?”

“Sorry, I think it’s because I’m so tired today. I’ll sleep first.”

Oh, it seems that the intensity of practice has increased along with these days.

I keep yawning because I’m tired.

” Hey, okay, let’s go to sleep.”

.

.

.

The first road to middle school.

Su-jin, who was assigned to the same middle school, asked me to go to school with her in the morning, so she had no choice but to do so.

When I went to the place we were supposed to meet, Sujin was there first.

” Sujin Jung, I’m here. Let’s go.”

Soojin said in a lively voice from the morning.

” Yes! Let’s go!”

Sujin was thrilled with her first school attendance, and all the way to school she talked with a flushed face.

She gave a rough answer and then she arrived at school.

“I’ll go then.”

” I wish we were in the same class… “

Sujin and I are in different classes, and she had to go to her own class.

” It’s okay to be in the same class next year. Go quickly.”

” Take care… “

I turned around and was about to enter my class when Sujin grabbed me and said.

” Dohee, will you have lunch with me today?”

” Eat with your classmates. Let’s get close.”

” Why… Let’s eat together.”

After being excited all the way to school, he seemed worried when it was time to go to class.

” You’ll make friends pretty soon anyway. If you don’t have someone to bond with, then tell me.”

” Yes… “

” Okay, go in.”

I entered the class I was assigned to.

When I entered the class, the children who came first were sitting together and chatting with each other from the same school.

The back seat by the window is empty.

Honey.

I sat down, hung up my bag, and put on my wireless earphones.

And a few days ago, I checked it again while listening to the video of my song at the end of the month evaluation.

The more I listen, the more I feel regretful.

Ah, I should have done a little more ending here.

While listening to the song, a girl came up next to me and started talking to me.

” Hi, Dohee. “

I took off my earphones and looked at the girl.

Nugushu.

The girl said as I looked at her with an unfamiliar look.

“You were in the same class as me in 5th grade. I’m Hyeju.”

Ah.

I think I might remember it.

I have to pretend to know…

” Ah, Hyejoo! I didn’t recognize her because she was wearing makeup.”

” Yes. If the seat next to you is empty, can I sit next to you? “

I wish I could just go to the temple.

” Yes, sit down.”

After a while, two more girls came up to me and said.

” Oh! It’s Hyeju!”

Hyeju jumped up and made a fuss about her as if it was nice to see her.

” Min Kyung-ah! Jia-ya, are you also in Class 1? Awesome!”

The children, naturally called Minkyung and Jia, sat in the seat in front of me.

Haa…

If you sit down, the three of you will talk. A woman called Minkyung started talking to me.

” Dohee, you know me? We were in the same class in 3rd grade.”

Ah.

From noble mtl dot com.

Is that so?

” Oh you know. Long time no see.”

A child named Jiara also started talking to me.

” I was also in the same class in 3rd grade!”

” Then~ I know.”

I really don’t know a single person.

The girls continued to talk in delightful voices.

” But Dohee, did you put on tint?”

” No, just apply sunscreen and lotion. “

” Wow really? I thought it was makeup!”

” Hey, I thought I was wearing full makeup, but didn’t you put on anything else?”

” Ampoule and essence for skin care after washing face..? “

” Really?”

Then it must be fake.

” Dohee, do you have Instagram?”

” Oh me too! Let me know too.”

” Oh, no. I don’t do Instagram.”

” Why don’t you do it? Dohee, if you do, you’ll become an influencer right away.”

” I don’t like social media… “

Right now, even my mother uses social media too much.

” Then, Dohee, I don’t have your number. Please tell me.”

” Me too!” ” Me too!”

Ah.

I’m tired.

After a while, a young female teacher who appeared to be the homeroom teacher came in and said.

” Now everyone, since we’re going to have an entrance ceremony, let’s all go out to the playground and line up.”

“”” Yes. “””

” And do you have Dohee Lee? “

I raised my hand and said.

” Yes, I’m Dohee Lee.”

” Oh, students, please follow me.”

Following the teacher to the playground, the teacher handed her a citation case and said.

” Dohee, are you the freshman representative today?”

” Ah, the freshman representative. Yes. “

Usually, the representative of freshmen is the chief of admissions, but I must have ranked first in the placement test.

” As a freshman representative, all you have to do is make a simple oath, so when it’s your turn…”

The teacher explained how she should take the oath.

.

.

.

” Next, the freshman representative will take the oath of admission. “

I went up to the podium.

And next to me, I saw a camera taking a picture of this moment.

” Oath. “

I raised my hand with my fingers crossed and said.

” We solemnly swear that the 243 new students of Suan Middle School in Seoul will abide by the school rules and study hard to become honest and wise people. “

The camera flash went off.

I should also tell the teacher to get this picture and save it.

So you can brag that you were the freshman representative later.

.

.

.

After the brief entrance ceremony, all the students returned to their classes.

When I sit down again, the girls surround me and chatter again.

” Dohee, why did you represent the freshmen?”

” Originally, the person who did the best in the entrance exam would represent the freshman?. “

” Oh really? “

” Dohee did really well in her studies, she got perfect scores in elementary school.”

” Wasn’t that a rumor?”

” It must be real, isn’t it Dohee?”

” hahahaha, good luck… “

‘ Please, I hope the three of you can talk. I’m tired to death ‘

Fortunately, the homeroom teacher came in shortly after and the children became quiet.

The teacher wrote her name on the blackboard and said.

” Nice to meet you guys. My teacher’s name is Cha Min-jung.”

“I’m going to hold an orientation about what middle school life will be like in the future. Before that, everyone sat down as they wanted, right? Let’s sit in order of number.”

The classmates sighed and got up from their seats and moved to their seats according to their numbers.

Whew, that’s good.

It’s a pity to leave the window, but it’s a hundred times better than hurting your ears surrounded by kids.

When I went to the seat with my number written on it, a girl I had never seen before became my partner.

I sat down and said to the girl I was partnered with.

“Hello. Please take good care of me.”

The child looked at me and answered with a tense face.

” Uh… Hello!”

He looks cute.

After greeting her, I put my chin on her chin and listened to the teacher’s explanation, and the second period was over.

When break time came, all the classmates were busy making friends with their partner.

I just took out my phone and watched the sports news.

Oh, the kennel won yesterday.

Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve been so tired that I haven’t seen Haechuk.

While I was looking at my phone like that, I could see from the side of my eye that the girl I was partnered with was opening her mouth while contemplating whether or not to talk to me.

Ahh, it’s cute.

I turned her head to look at her child and said.

” I didn’t tell you my name? I’m Dohee Lee. What about you?”

” Ah..! I am.. Yoo So-hee.”

You must have only been loved because your child is cute, but why are you so timid?

” Yeah? That’s a pretty name. Where did you go to school?”

” Ah, I moved from Incheon this time… “

” Oh yeah? “

Then no one knows.

If you get close with him, you can use him as an excuse to go around quietly.

But the kid is kind of timid and cute like a newborn puppy, so I want to play around with him.

” So, do you know Daesik in Bupyeong, Incheon?”

” Huh…?”

” Wow, you say you lived in Incheon, but you don’t know gluttony? You’re the best in Bupyeong?”

” Ah…Sorry…”

She can’t make eye contact with her, probably because she’s scared.

Ah, how cute he is.

” Heh, I’m kidding, I’m kidding. There’s no one like that. I was just kidding you once to ease your tension. I’m sorry if I surprised you.”

” Ah… No! hehehe.. “

That’s f*cking cute.

I want to bite you.

So-hee also opened her eyes wide as if she mustered up courage and said a word.

” That… When I first saw Dohee, I was surprised at how pretty she was!”

” Oh really? It’s the first time I’ve heard that I’m pretty.”

So-hee opened her chubby eyes even wider and said as if she was surprised.

” Huh..? Really?”

” Oh, this is my first time.”

” It’s so pretty… “

” How pretty is it?”

As if Sohee was embarrassed, she looked at my face and replied.

” Ah… Big eyes… Long eyelashes… Pretty nose… Pretty mouth… “

” And?”

” His face is also small.. Uh.. “

Ah, I want to keep teasing you.

But I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it anymore.

” I’m just kidding hahahaha, Sohee, you look so cute too.”

” Ah… Thanks.”

” It’s so cute.”

” hehehe… “

” Would you like to be friends with me in the future?”

” Yes… “

I’m sorry Doa.

I think I got a new little sister today.

Of course, the number one priority in my heart is our island…

As we talked and exchanged numbers, the school bell rang.

3Rd period math class.

The math teacher came in.

The math teacher introduced her by her first name and then began her orientation as it was her first day.

The math class is a class by level, and after combining the first class and the second class, the upper half and the lower half are divided into the mobile class, she said.

Come to think of it, it seems that math and English took mobile classes in my previous life.

When the teacher left after the third period, she posted her class list on the bulletin board.

Where is Sohee?

I went ahead and looked at the roster.

First of all, I must be the opposite.

So-hee is also the other half.

Looking at the first half of the list, I see more familiar names.

Baek Hwi in 2nd class, Jeong Su-jin in 2nd class.

Looks like Baekhui is also in his 2nd class.

I had a taste for being teased when I was young.

From noble mtl dot com.

It’s time for lunch.

Even though I got closer with So-hee, So-hee hesitated and hesitated to say that he would like to have a meal with me.

How is it that he is so cute?

” Sohee, shall we go out to eat?”

” Dohee, aren’t you supposed to eat with your friends…?”

I am so proud of Sohee who thinks of my position first.

“I have no friends.”

” Really…? I talked a lot with my classmates in the morning…”

” They’re just people you know. Sohee is your only friend?”

Sohee’s face immediately brightened.

The moment Sohee was about to speak, Sujin came to our class and said to me with a sad expression.

” I couldn’t make friends… Dohee, let’s have lunch.”

Ah.

When I turn my head and look at So-hee, the bright So-hee is now on the verge of crying.

Have I become the main character of the lily love triangle?

.

.

.

So I just made them friends.

In the end-of-month evaluation season, we would leave early before lunchtime, but what if we skip lunch because neither of us have friends?
