Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

38 – Occasionally dark clouds

Tuesday morning after having enjoyed that terrible Monday for the school’s anniversary.

Since it’s not Monday, I wondered if I could go to school with a light heart today, but that wasn’t the case either. On the contrary, as I took an extra day off, my motivation decreased, so the road to school was literally asceticism.

But this week, we only have to endure for four days, including today, until Saturday. It’s nice to see that the hellish time is reduced even for one day. I’ll have no choice but to spend every day taking comfort in that.

“Everyone, don’t make noise and sit down, because today we have something to say.”

When the homeroom teacher came in just in time for the regular meeting and knocked on the desk with the attendance book, the students who had been running around quickly went back to their respective seats.

The midterm exams are just around the corner. Is there some other terrible news? With half anticipation and half anxiety, I waited for the homeroom teacher’s lips to fall.

“Everyone knows that the festival has been moved forward from this year, right?”

“Yes.”

Powerless voices flowed from the mouths of the classmates who had Monday or Tuesday disease.

Come to think of it, starting this year, the school festival was changed from the midterm of the second semester to after the midterm of the first semester. It is a fact that has been completely forgotten.

The reason why the school festival tradition, which has been going on for quite some time, has suddenly changed is simple. Recently, even in September, the weather shows no signs of getting cooler, so safety accidents happen frequently, so they decided to hold the festival right before it gets too hot.

In addition, unlike other schools that do not even give a chance to participate in the festival for high school seniors who are in the midst of preparing for the CSAT, our school aims for a festival in which all students participate, so they said that they made this change in the judgment that this time would be better than right before the CSAT. .

“So, if there is anyone who will participate in the festival stage, just let the teacher know by next week.”

“Sir! Aren’t there E-sports competitions this time?”

Fearing that someone might not be Choi Min-seong, he casually asked a question completely unrelated to the topic and smiled brightly.

Since he was the winner of last year’s e-sports competition, he can’t help but be interested in it again this year. Especially when there is a reliable talent like Kim Soo-bin by my side, I have no choice but to do that.

“Are you going to do it again this year? We’ll be accepting applications for that too, so let’s make a team first among the people who will participate, okay?”

“Oh! Hey, Kim Soo-bin. Are you our team mid again this year?”

“Are you making a decision without consulting me?”

“Ah, just do one carry. I’ll only do it until this year and I won’t do it anymore.”

You won’t be in school next year, so shouldn’t you just do it until this year and then quit? Choi Min-seong’s behavior of spouting out the obvious as a condition for negotiations was absurd.

In the meantime, it’s amazing that they were excited about a topic that they hadn’t even discussed with Kim Soo-bin, as if they had even planned a winning team in advance.

“Anyway, this is the last time you guys will be participating in the festival, so be fully prepared to enjoy it as much as possible. Did you all understand what Sam was saying?”

“Yes!”

The voice that sounded like a runny Coke from earlier was nowhere to be found, and this time a rather loud answer came from the mouths of the classmates who were excited about the festival.

Anyway, since it’s a festival, I’ll have to watch Choi Min-seong’s team win the championship this year as well as the other kids’ stages. There were a lot of fun stages last year, but I don’t know how it will be this year.

“Yuna, are you going to participate in the stage?”

I was fiddling with my phone in the classroom where the teacher had left before I knew it, but I turned my head involuntarily when I heard a familiar name among the lively voices I heard from the seat next to me.

There, Choi Ji-yeon, our class president, was asking her if she would like to participate in the festival stage with her eyes twinkling. Somehow, it seems like I saw it last year.

“Me? Well…. I probably won’t participate.”

“Really? It’s a shame. We girls decided to choreograph and go out. So I thought it would be nice if Yuna and you could do it too….”

Choi Ji-yeon isn’t as good as Hanyu, but she’s quite famous for her talent, dancing, and singing. In addition, she is the icing on the cake when Han Yu-na, an active idol trainee, participates in the battle, so it seems that she tried to seduce her gently.

“Sorry, I think it will be difficult to spend time elsewhere because of company practice.”

“Then I can’t help it. Oh, tell me if you ever change your mind?”

“Yes, I will.”

After the story ended in a cool way, Choi Ji-yeon shook her hand and left Han Yuna. I know that guy also has a fairly easy-going personality, so I don’t think she’ll have useless thoughts like Hanyu and pretending to be expensive.

Anyway, since it’s my last festival in high school, I thought Han Yuna would participate, but I’m a bit surprised. Was the preparation for her debut group so intense? If you’re sorry, maybe you’re sorry.

“Yaya, Park Si-yoon! Will you join our team this time too? There’s just one seat vacant.”

Meanwhile, Choi Min-sung, who seemed to have failed to retain his members last year, approached me, the last bastion, and persuaded me to participate in the e-sports competition together. Until just now, Han Yuna was seduced by Choi Ji-yeon, but this time it’s my chalianga.

To be honest, it’s not that I don’t like the idea, but because Choi Min-seong was mixed in with the team members, I easily raised my middle finger and refused coldly.

“Yes, no. I don’t want to wipe the butthole of a baby called the jungle on a fictional day.”

“Son of a bitch, your friend is asking for your help and you’re being so fucking mean.”

Anyway, it seems like he wants to win the championship, even if it can be roughly squeezed on the subject of having a super ace named Kim Soo-bin.

I looked at Choi Min-seong with a wry smile as he walked away while pretending to spit as if it were dirty and mean. Realizing belatedly that the first period was a mobile class, I took out my textbook.

“… ….”

Han Yu-na’s expression suddenly turned around on the way, and it was already quite dark.

I wondered if it was because of the regret of not being able to participate in the last festival stage, but the thought that I wouldn’t be a guy who would die like that made me question it even more.

That’s how I just watched him dead until the first class started and Hanyu asked me to go with her. In the end, I couldn’t figure out a good reason.

***

– Mr. Park, who stalked the famous Internet broadcaster Kim for the past three months and caused severe psychological damage, was sentenced today to 5 years in prison. When Mr. Park’s love affair with Kim was revealed, he came to her house with a weapon in her possession….

“You crazy bastard.”

After school classes were over, curse words flowed from my mouth as I listened to today’s news suddenly popped up in the algorithm.

It was said that it was a stalking crime about a famous female broadcaster, so I thought of the faces of our boss and Yuna Han, so I clicked it, but the content is really ugly.

By the way, even possessing a weapon and stalking, what is the maximum sentence of 5 years in prison? I don’t know if this country’s laws are strange. Even to me, who doesn’t know the law, this seems like a very soft punishment. What if the victim was injured or killed?

“Why are you suddenly swearing on the street?”

“Some crazy guy appeared on the news. Have you seen this too?”

“What is it?”

One thousand words are worth seeing Hanyu When I showed the thumbnail and title of the news to me, I felt her body startle and tremble.

She must be an idol trainee, and since she has a body that will make her debut soon, she doesn’t feel like someone else’s business. As soon as I saw this incident, I thought of Han Yu-na, but she herself was shocked.

“Have your seniors at your company never experienced anything like this?”

“… There will be quite a bit I don’t know the details because I haven’t had a lot of conversations either.”

Well, considering that her sasaeng fans are tantamount to stalkers, there are probably fewer of the top stars in Hanyu’s company who haven’t been victimized.

If it were me, I think I would have stopped promoting even if I was fed up with this. How in the world can you hold on to your mentality after going through something like that? It’s admirable.

“… ….”

While she was sitting on a bench next to her park to take a break and rewinding and watching the news together, she realized that Han Yuna, who was particularly focused on the contents of the news, had a pale complexion.

Come to think of it, her expression was strangely stiff even in the morning. I’m not sure why.

“Anyway, why are you so talkative today? What’s wrong?”

“What happened…. No, something like that.”

She asked as if to test it out, but the guy shook his head, avoiding her gaze, as if he was up to something. That action, on the contrary, added to her suspicious atmosphere.

“Well, just because I am, I don’t intend to know all the secrets you want to hide. Because, like me, you have a thing called privacy.”

I wondered if it was something she wanted to hide that much, so she wondered if she would stop asking any more questions, but that thought vanished the moment she looked up at me and saw my eyes.

“But at least if you’re going to say nothing happened, don’t make that face. If you say that with a face that seems to be begging for help, who will believe it?”

“… I, did I?”

“Okay, if you’re not sure, take out a mirror and check it out.”

At least it was the darkest expression of Yuna Han that I have ever seen in my life. She wasn’t worried or anything like that, just like a person whose life would come and go even tomorrow, her intuition that the sunken eyes under her eyes shouldn’t be left like this was firmly implanted in her brain.

She’s a guy who’s been terrible at hiding her true feelings since long ago. Hanyu I used to say that she doesn’t like that side of her, but she thinks differently than I do.

If Han Yu-na was the type who was good at hiding her true feelings, this guy would have been sick with Hwa-byeong a long time ago. She always squeezes it inside, and since she doesn’t even have a place to drain it or lean on it, she must have brought about the worst possible outcome.

Since she has a personality that easily reveals her true feelings, she notices it in advance, and I think it is fortunate as a friend of hers that I can at least give her advice. It’s my wish that you expect me to look forward to it before asking, but it’s hard to hope for that.

“Do you want to talk?”

After a moment of silence, she glanced down at the guy’s profile, feeling as if she had made up her mind about something, so she threw the words out again. Then, Hanyuna nodded her head.

“… Yeah, but it’s really nonsense, is it okay?”

“Is there anything more absurd than the story that you started being an idol trainee because you were cast on the street? Don’t worry, just tell me.”

She replied that she didn’t think much of it, as she suddenly went out of Hanyu and promised that she would trust her even if she said that she was a wizard from another world.

She then looked up at me and laughed out of her despondency. To me, that smile somehow felt like saying, ‘I knew it would come out like that if it were you.’
