13 – Middle School Students
I came to know after that day, there were no kids in my class who liked Jin-ah more than I thought.
“…So, I saw him walking down the street yesterday, Jin-ah Lee, and he got into a car driven by a guy wearing sunglasses. Wow really- I was surprised to see that”
“Why are you startled..?”
“Hey, of course what…! What do you think is the reason why a kid who used to be a jerk in his first year of middle school suddenly got expensive luxury goods or something like that?!”
“No way…”
“Yeah, what the f*ck. A slut b*tch”
If you are late, you get penalty points, and when you get penalty points, you clean the school backyard. Usually, teachers tell us to clean, and then hide in the teachers’ room to do their work, so they don’t check whether we clean here or not.
That’s why the savvy kids spend their time idly idling around in a corner where they can’t be seen, but I’m like that now.
I picked up garbage diligently when I didn’t know what to do, and I said I was picking up this diligently, so the teacher came down to check it out or it wasn’t like that.
What.. So I was sitting in a corner and loafing around, and then I happened to hear that the girls in my class were talking behind Jin-ah.
“A dog’s pussy slut knows how to sell her body, a b*tch who doesn’t care”
Even if you say it like that, again- When you see your face, you say, “It’s time to pass it.”
Then what… Does the bean curd fall?
If you’re like me, I don’t think we’ll meet if you’re going to curse like that.
I am.
If you don’t know anything about Lee Jin-ah, you won’t be envious, you won’t get jealous, you won’t get angry.
“Chae Ah… Let’s go! It’s time!”
“Ha- It’s so annoying that doing it on a Friday is at best picking up garbage..! What is this..! It smells…! I f*cking hate it..!”
Oh, has time gone by like that already…? I’ll have to go soon too.
“Uh~! Jinah…! Did we wait for you…?!’
“…Uh…? No, so I…”
“What do you have in your hand…? Hey, we should share this.”
“Thank you! I’ll eat well..!”
“…Huh? Uh uh…”
Without permission, she puts her hand into the envelope Jina is holding and takes out her drink and drinks it.
Wow- they are real.
I don’t think it’s been more than 30 seconds since I cursed. Park Chae-ah, you will succeed in politics.
Does the real Jina know this…?
… I shouldn’t tell you.
Just as there is a saying that what you don’t know is medicine. This is just something I should know.
I don’t think Jin-ah thinks they’re really precious friends.
“…Ah..! Come to think of it, I have to go to an academy…! Jin-ah, aren’t you going to play with us anyway?”
“..Ugh.. I have something else to do today…”
“I knew it, then I’ll go first..! Can’t you clean up this empty bottle for me, Jin-ah? I’m a bit tired because I have to clean up a lot of trash…”
And puts the drink bottle in Lee Jin-ah’s envelope.
“…”
As I looked at the two of them walking away, I looked at Jina. Jina… Said nothing.
This is a complete treat..! He, she wanted to say something comforting, but she had no words to say.
That … I don’t think she’ll be a sincere consolation to Jin-ah just because I’m talking about her as if I’m doing something.
“…I didn’t bring you guys to eat…”
Jinah looked at me. Brown eyes. Moist. She looks like she’s going to cry any moment… So I leave in a hurry too.
First of all, I am very awkward with Jin-ah.
That… Ah… Really…
I searched my pockets and found peach-flavored candy. During math class today, I came out in front of the blackboard and solved the problem. My homeroom teacher told me that I did well.
“…Eat and cheer up”
Will Jin-ah, who eats luxurious food every day, eat Sarangbang candy..?
I don’t know. But, how can I do that when this is all I can give…
I could feel the big eyes focused on the candy in my hand.
“Hey… That… Thanks!”
Don’t be rude on the topic of Chinta. I was a little scared to hear that, but it feels good to hear that… Thank you.
And…As expected, it’s embarrassing. As Jina’s lips moved several times, she was trying to say something to her…
“..Ahh…Why does my stomach hurt so much…?”
I just left the spot.
…. It would have been cool if he had just shut up and left… Even I thought about it.
2)
The second semester has arrived and the entrance exam season has arrived. During the summer vacation, I went to the library with Yoo-jung and studied, and um… I also exercised, and I think I had a very fruitful vacation.
This time, when I entered high school, Yoojung also said that she would complete the middle school qualification exam and prepare for the high school qualification examination.
-How about going to high school?
-No, it’s okay.
I talked about my career once, but Yoojung didn’t seem to want to talk about it.
Well… I didn’t even go to middle school… School is like a jungle.
From a nursery school..? Hey, really- please bully me for that! It’s like shouting out loud.
Those scumbags who like to criticize others would bite, taste, and enjoy Yoojung every day just to have fun.
To be honest, since I was little, kids teased me a lot, so I hit them several times. I think it will be difficult for Yoojung to do it like me.
First of all… Because she’s a woman, she can’t even fight. Her personality is also mild, so she can’t get angry, but it’s clear that Yoo-jung won’t be able to stand it if those kids bite her.
In that sense, I can’t easily say, “I still have to go to school.”
It would have been fun if we went together.
“…Jinah!”
“…Yeah, I’m sorry over there. I’m busy these days… I’d like to talk to you later..!”
Wow. Park Chae-ah, that and that, that bastard is not human.
That’s not a human bastard. Look at Jin-ah, who just said the other day that she was selling her body, and when Jin-ah brought something that looked expensive again, she smiled and approached.
I wish I’d tried it once- I’d say something like that. It’s a video even if you don’t watch it.
Would it be nice to live like that…? No, well… If you hang out together, you can eat bean curd, but I don’t think I can live that far. I think you will really succeed.
Originally, the kids who just started crawling like that ended up being incredibly successful. You must be a politician
“- Now, take textbooks from 1 to 10”
In the new semester, it is a national rule to hand out textbooks, receive textbooks, and organize lockers once. I just… Throw away all my notebooks. Huh. Yes it is
It’s as complicated as any oil market.
Took-
Uh, the high school pamphlet dropped.
Future Meister High School pamphlet. I watched too many times, so I got used to it, and now… I know everything about the entrance exam guidelines and things like that. You don’t have to hold it, though.
I still couldn’t throw away this pamphlet. Some kind of amulet..? That feeling..? I don’t think it would work without it. Sometimes when I’m having a hard time, I open it up and look at it.
And what if someone else sees this and dreams of becoming a Meister…? Only I need to know this. So, I tried to pick it up.
-Kugit
Someone stepped on my pamphlet.
What kind of bastard is this…? And when she looked up, it was Jina.
I felt a little bad… No matter how much I stepped on other people’s things, who is in a good mood…?
“…Mi..Sorry..!”
Still, seeing him quickly apologized made me feel more at ease. Seeing her big brown eyes wide open… And apologizing for being sorry.
From noble mtl dot com
It’s not like he just stepped on it because he didn’t like me…! It’s just, why did this happen? Are you always making mistakes?
Jinah picks up my pamphlet. I guess… Future Meister High School never returned it after I… Took it on the first day of the semester. It must be the first pamphlet seen by Jina.
Maybe that’s why she stared at my pamphlet, her brown eyes blinking slowly, then hid it behind her back..?
“…I’ll give you a new one. It’s dirty because I stepped on it.”
“No, I’m fine”
No, I didn’t kick it, I just stepped on it, but it’s not enough to change it to a new one.
“I want you to return it”
I take the pamphlet Jina was holding.
What… Well, I just touched it a little, but the pamphlet gives off a sweet, fruity scent.
Peach scent.
The second semester… It was just nothing special. Nothing really happened. The same routine every day. Study, exercise. And go to sleep
What kind of workbook do you write about what has changed? And not working out in the park- if you go to the city gym, you can work out at a much cheaper price than the gym on the market, so you work out with Yu-jeong every day there.
And… Well… Other than that, really nothing. The nursery school is also quiet these days. It’s peaceful.
3)
“…High school application trash”
“Uh…? Uh uh…”
Time passed really quickly, and the midterms for the second semester were over.
It’s almost time for the entrance exam, maybe because Jina is our class president, and she says that there are not many days left to write the application form.
“Can I use it here…? Until when should I use it..?”
“The sooner the better”
The sooner the better, so I wrote down the high school I wanted to go to with a ballpoint pen.
Future Meister High School. One letter, one letter. Again and again
Next, go to a place with the best facilities and a high passing line among the business world.
…I was just thinking about it while writing this, but now that I think about it, Jina is in charge of class president again this time. She studies well, works hard in sports, and holds a respected position in the class.
Come to think of it, was she the student body president..? It seems to do that too. I couldn’t find the look of elementary school or middle school 1th grade anymore.
Well, nothing has changed since I was in the first year of middle school.
When Jina changed in the past, she was under a lot of stress, frustration, and dissatisfaction with my life because of it, but now it’s okay.
I read the book, and each person said that each person had their own way to go.
Each person has a given path, and also has her own path. I’m on my own way I walk one step at a time, looking straight at the path I have to go.
I am not disturbed by any changes around me, and I am on my own path. I liked that phrase the most.
“Did you write everything down?”
“Yes”
Since Jina is Serge Luten, it doesn’t matter if she wears things like Hermès, and I don’t care if she wears expensive peach-scented perfume.
After all, no matter how much I envy you, I can’t become Jin-ah. An opponent I’ll never meet again anyway. I don’t think we’ll ever run into each other, but I don’t want to pay attention to what Jin-ah wears.
…As far as I know, Jina. She says she goes to a very expensive private high school, but in fact she only knows that far. I don’t even want to know more.
…Anyway, it was fun meeting you, and if we can meet again next time, can we say hello?
