6 – Episode 6

You have to wake up, wake up!! You are the pride of Joseon!!

“Ugh..”

I woke up and turned off the alarm.

Maybe it was because I had fun with my friends after a long time, I went straight home and talked to them a little more before going to sleep.

“I have to go to school today too”

I muttered to myself as I got up, greeted my family, ate breakfast, and went to school like a machine.

“Today is the last day. It was fun.. My life that was noisy, quiet, and noisy..”

“What are you talking about in the morning?”

I sighed at Seokho’s meaningless words in the morning.

“My big event in May was canceled.. Now I have four left..”

What kind of crazy guy waits for confession day by season

I lowered my head and took out my textbook.

“Then you must have not confessed to Seoa either”

As I gave Seokho a hard time, he also looked at me and hit me with a fact.

“Of course, how can I do it”

Seoa had personal issues, and my face was like that, and there was nothing that I could be confident about succeeding.

“Yeah, yeah, you’re always gloomy in class watching anime”

“I didn’t watch it at school!”

Especially these days, I don’t watch it more because of Seoa

If I was comfortable, I would watch anime or play games, but I couldn’t do it properly because I was thinking about Seoa all day.

“Anyway, I won’t have a chance to confess to Seoa until I graduate”

I said that with a little determination.

“Really, then you should accept me when you graduate, right?”

“..Well, I don’t know, maybe we’ll meet again someday”

At least, I will confess to her after I solve her problem. At my current age, the only thing I can do is report it, and that was not an option.

If I tell her what I heard from Seo-ah before, she will be able to get away from those trash.

Seok-ho laughed at my words.

“Arha, you won’t be able to confess even then.”

Then Seok-ho looked at me and sneered.

“Geez, what will you do if I really date Seo-ah?”

“Huh! If you do that, I’ll buy you beef with Seo-ah!”

I provoked Seok-ho and he confidently countered.

“Okay, watch me, whether it’s 10 years or 20 years, be ready”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you until you die.”

We talked nonsense like that for a few minutes and then it was time for class.

Drrr

“Alright, everyone sit down”

The teacher looked at the attendance and started the class.

“Where are we today.. ah yes, here is the part about the trigonometric formulas of differentiation”

I wrote down what the teacher wrote on the board in my notebook.

I had to prepare for the exam that was coming soon in this second year.

“So this f(x) becomes dx when differentiated..”

Preparing..

“Okay, then you should know how to do this inverse differentiation, right?”

The exam..

“So this closed interval is continuous and this equation is correct…”

But can’t I take a break today?

After math class, I headed to the next subject, a mobile class.

“Where are you going next?”

“Physics.”

“Wow, good luck with that.”

I said goodbye to my friend and looked for the physics class. I glanced around for Seo-a, but unfortunately I couldn’t see her.

This time, I got there early and sat down in my seat to avoid the same situation as before.

These classes without assigned seats had an implicit seating arrangement among the students, and one of them was the front seat by the window where I sat.

Actually, the front seat wasn’t something that the teacher paid much attention to. These seats by the hallway and the TV were mostly ones that the teacher didn’t care much about.

That’s why people like me, who were outcasts and losers, sat in these seats and quietly hoped that no one would notice me.

“Hi?”

????

“Uh.. Seo-a?”

“Yeah! Is it okay if I sit next to you?”

“..Sure, I’d like that.”

The dreamlike event from yesterday happened again. This time, Seo-a came to me and talked to me.

“Did you get home well yesterday?”

Seo-ah asked me if I got home well, and I nodded.

“You?”

I naturally asked her back.

“Me..um, I got home well”

Ah, come to think of it.. Seo-ah must have taken a longer way home

I blamed myself for being inconsiderate and asked her why she came here.

“That.. why..”

I wanted to ask why she sat down, but I closed my mouth because it was her choice and I didn’t want her to go somewhere else.

“Huh?”

“Nothing”

I shut my mouth and didn’t say anything more, and this time Seo-ah opened her mouth.

“I brought a book this time”

She said that and took out a book and showed it off, and I smiled slightly.

It was similar to when we got married and told each other what we would bring to our new home.

“Did you bring an eraser too? Ta-da!”

I couldn’t help but laugh and said.

“You did~ That must have been nice..oh, sorry”

I said that because she looked so much like the Seo-ah from back then, and the words I used to say to her often came out.

“Pfft.. no, it’s fine. But you’re so insincere~?”

“Ah..no, it’s just a habit, a habit”

I wondered what kind of habit that was, but this was the only way to get past this situation.

“Hmm, really? Okay!”

Seo-ah seemed to know something but also let it slide.

Creak

The sound of the door opening and the teacher entering cut off our conversation. I thought that might be the last time we talked, but

[We can keep talking like this, right?]

Seo-ah wrote a few words on a part of her notebook and showed it to me with a smile.

I nodded. It was nice to be able to communicate like this even without hearing her voice.

“Let’s see, where did we stop last time? I forgot.”

The teacher joked as he checked the attendance and started the class.

“Teacher! That’s dementia!”

The kids laughed and the teacher smiled and asked if they wanted to get hit by a senile teacher.

“hahahahaha”

I also smiled slightly at that.

“Look, what’s this? Where did our physics first place go?”

The teacher looked for Seo-ah as he said that.

Seo-ah was called physics first place because she had answered all the questions the teacher had given and had asked a lot of questions herself. The teacher liked to call her that.

“Here.”

Seo-ah raised her hand next to me with a single smile.

“Hmm? What’s this, our physics top scorer! Did you give up studying and choose a boy instead?”

Seo-ah always insisted on sitting in the middle of the front row, but today she was not there, which made the teacher curious. But when he saw a boy next to her, he looked at Seo-ah with an expression of having caught his prey.

“Ahahahaha…that”

Then the other kids started looking at us too, and she smiled nervously with a slight start.

“I don’t know physics, so I asked him to teach me.”

I spoke instead of the flustered Seo-ah.

“Really? Is that so~?”

The teacher looked at us with an expression that said, “That’s obviously a lie!” But he had to start the class, so he nodded and began the lesson.

[Shall I teach you physics?]

Honestly, what I just said was a way to avoid the situation, but since I was honestly struggling with physics, I nodded.

“Okay, then I’ll teach you well!”

“Seo-ah, that’s all good, but don’t steal the teacher’s job.”

“Ah! Sor..sorry, teacher.”

Seo-ah spoke a little loudly, forgetting that we were in class. And of course, since we were in the front, the teacher heard it and the class burst into laughter again.

“Ugh..”

Of course, Seo-ah’s face turned red.

[Did you brag too much?]

When I wrote that, Seo-ah’s eyes widened.

[It’s just that my voice was loud! Open your book!]

She opened the book and nodded her head, listening to the lesson.

I wrote down what I didn’t know and sent it to Seo-a, who read the note and sent me back the answer.

That’s how we quietly wrote notes to each other and learned physics from Seo-a throughout the class.

“Okay! That’s it for today. The remaining five minutes are break time!”

“Teacher! You said the break time was 10 minutes!”

“That’s right, it’s 10 minutes break time after five minutes.”

“Ah..”

The kids sighed, but they were grateful to have a break time during class.

[Did you have any questions so far?]

Of course, we reviewed what we learned during that time.

We didn’t talk about anything other than studying with Seo-a. The reason was obvious. Because of that passionate Seo-a who said she would teach me everything, we really studied physics for an hour.

“I.. don’t understand this part very well.”

I pretended not to know and asked Seo-a again, but

Ding-dong-dang-dong

The school bell rang and our class was over.

“Ah..”

“Well.. it’s over. I’m going back to the class.. You go back too.. Bye~!”

I swallowed my regret and tried to leave, but Seo-a grabbed me and showed me her notebook.

[Stay in the class after it’s over]

After? After the class? To me? Suddenly?

I looked puzzled and tried to ask her, but

“Then.. I’ll teach you the physics that I couldn’t teach you before!”

Seo-ah quickly disappeared before I could say anything.

Physics..

Honestly, if it was someone else who offered to teach me, I would run away..

But I endure it because it’s Seo-ah.

That’s how much I hated physics, but today I felt like I might like it.
