Breathtaking stillness .
“… .” Min So-yeon
,
who stares openly at Gong Hye-sun, and Gong Hye-sun , who glances at me shyly, without regard to Min So-yeon’s gaze .
Whoever speaks first is not a bet, but Min So-yeon and Gong Hye-sun were looking at each other and glancing at me ,
… driving me crazy… .
I, caught in the midst of such girls, felt so burdened that my stomach churned .
It would have been better if I didn’t know anything… .
I am well aware of their feelings towards me, so it is even more difficult to speak out .
If you say something for nothing, it’s perfectly fine to be misunderstood .
In the current situation, all I can do is move silently as if I didn’t know anything . Tub-Tub-Top-Top-Tub-
Tub-Boob –
They were on their way to the academy quietly with their own inconveniences .
At some point, a section came to where the road became narrower and narrower .
No matter how you look at it, the road is narrow for the three of us .
You can’t get down the road the car is on, so someone has to get out .
““… .”“
At that time, Min So-yeon and Gong Hye-sun seemed to have the same thoughts as me, so they slowly started to slow down .
Then, Gong Hye-sun and Min So-yeon are exquisitely staring at each other .
The sight of the two children engaged in a nerve war made me sigh without realizing it .
… I can’t .
In the end, after I could not see it, I stopped walking at all, and I pretended to be okay with them and uttered a hint .
“ Go first .”
“… huh ?”
“ Uh, yes… ?”
Then Min So-yeon and Gong Hye-sun looking at me at the same time .
There was a strange embarrassment in their eyes .
“ Are n’t you going ?”
As she struggled to manage her expression and spoke carelessly, Hye-sun Gong came to her senses and answered .
“… go, go… !”
Then he hurriedly stepped forward, glanced back at me, and smiled slightly .
It was a smile mixed with anticipation, as if asking if he did well .
Realizing that Hye-sun Gong did this to build a crush on me, I smiled at her with complex emotions and said ,
“… hee hee .”
So-yeon has been beckoning to me with a satisfied face, whether it’s just because she likes being able to walk together, or because Hye-sun Gong gave up first .
“… … .”
I felt confused in many ways . As
we moved forward, a wide road came up again and we naturally walked side by side , and the sharp atmosphere seemed to have softened slightly ,
perhaps thanks to Hyesun Gong’s concession .
However… .
“… Yoo Ji-hwan. today… .”
“ Ji, Jihwan… ! I haven’t eaten breakfast yet… ?”
The checks on each other never stopped .
Gong Hye-sun ignored Min So-yeon’s stinging gaze, hurriedly took something out of her bag and handed it to me .
It was the milk she always brought .
A very thick, sweet milk with a strange scent .
Gulp –
I swallowed saliva involuntarily, recalling the addictive taste, and unknowingly received the milk bottle she handed me, and Min So-yeon, who was watching from the
side, opened her eyes and said to Gong Hye-sun .
“… Why do you make breakfast for him ?”
“ What… ?”
Then Gong Hye-sun looked at Min So-yeon with an expression of what was the problem .
“… What are you, make breakfast ?”
“ You can’t take it… ?”
“… no… !”
Gong Hye-sun, who is always ignorant, and Min So-yeon, who seems angry .
At a moment’s notice, I hurriedly intervened between the two of them .
“ Come on, let’s eat !”
Then he opened the bottle cap and drank the milk .
gulp – gulp –
sweet milk that fills your mouth .
The strangely scented scent was more intense today, but it wasn’t disgusting .
“ Fuha… .”
After emptying the milk coolly, and feeling a bit sad, Gong Hye-sun smiled brightly and took the empty bottle .
“ Ha .”
I was ignoring Min So-yeon’s gaze, who smiled and looked at me like she was absurd, so Gong Hye-sun, who had put an empty bottle in, looked at me and gently threw a topic .
“ Well, then I saw… ! I heard that there is a special lecture today… ?”
special lecture ?
It was a story that Min So-yeon and I, who had not been to school properly for the past few days, did not know .
“… uh? I didn’t hear… ?”
Gong Hye-sun glanced at Min So-yeon, who was next to me, and said .
“… I heard that ‘ Geomhoo’ gives lectures… ?”
… huh ?
*
A crowded auditorium .
“ I wish I could start sooner… .”
“ Hey… . What do you expect so much from someone who has lost his form and retired .”
“ Honestly, I wonder if I need to come all the way to the 3rd grade. Isn’t it a bit silly ?”
In the back row, the voices of the students muttering amongst themselves could be heard .
… Kids are… .
I leaned back on the chair, saying that to the voices of those students .
It is not strange that current first-year students are not aware of the status of ‘swordsman’ .
If you haven’t experienced it, you probably won’t know for the rest of your life .
“… .”
I slowly turned my eyes and glanced at Min So-yeon, who was sitting next to me .
She stares blankly at the podium as if thinking about something .
It seems that I have a lot of trouble .
I turned my eyes to the contrary and glanced at Gong Hye-sun, who was seated next to me .
As if she was conscious of me, she met my eyes straight away .
Gong Hye-sun smiled softly as if asking why ,
“… .”
I smiled moderately in the sense that it was nothing, and then quietly looked away .
We are seated in the front row of the auditorium .
I took a seat at the direction of my homeroom teacher, because there was going to be an awards ceremony before my wife’s lecture started .
Naturally, the winners were Gong Hye-sun, Min So-yeon, and me .
The award was ‘Special Achievement Award’ .
I was a little puzzled by the story of receiving the award out of nowhere, but after thinking about it, I could see that this was Nando Jeong’s plan .
In any case, we must have a plausible cause to enter the gate as a freshman .
Jeong Nan-do seems to be trying to placate that cause with the award record, and it seems to add something special by taking advantage of the fact that the ‘Swordsman’ awards the award . Considering that it is the first official event of
‘ Geomhoo’, my wife doesn’t seem to have known about this… .
Neither my wife nor Jeong Nan-do, I don’t know why they always do this without telling the person involved . Is
it that the master is the disciple ?
While waiting with doubts about the plans of my wife and Nan-do Jeong .
[ The Academy Awards ceremony will be held soon. Students, sit down… ]
An
announcement rang out in the auditorium, and the students
‘ voices began to grow louder .
And after a while .
[ Now, let’s start the Academy Awards ceremony . ]
With the broadcast announcing the start, cheers and applause from students were heard .
Continuing announcements .
[ This awards ceremony raised the status of the academy… ]
Soon, the presentation of the presenter followed .
[ For the award, ‘Swordsman’ Joo Hee-hee will work hard . ]
In the passage of his wife, the students’ reaction began to heat up .
The return of the woman who was called the strongest .
It is a historic day .
[ Then, let’s welcome it with strong applause ! ]
Clap clap clap clap -!!!
The sound of applause echoed as if the auditorium was about to leave .
I followed the students and clapped my hands and glanced at Min So-yeon, who was sitting next to me .
Clap clap clap clap -!!!
She claps her hands with a smile on her lips .
Seeing her like that, I unknowingly raised the corners of my lips .
right then
Tto – Gak – The
sound of small shoes came from somewhere .
Perhaps I was the only one who could hear it, and the cheers of the students dropped sharply .
Togak –
And at the same time, a huge magical power began to cover the auditorium .
“ Ugh… .”
“ What, what ?”
“ Is n’t this magic ?”
The anxious voices of students are heard everywhere .
Again – again – again…
The sound of the shoes that I heard over and over got smaller and smaller… .
Soon she appeared over the pulpit .
Jooyeon- hee
“… crazy… .”
“ Wow sir… . Are you a retired person ?”
“ It’s just a monster… .”
The wife, who appeared with the students’ astonishment, stood on the pulpit openly exuding magical powers .
[ Nice to meet you . ]
And the moment I heard my wife’s voice, the magic that had suppressed the auditorium disappeared in an instant .
It’s impossible with any amount of magical power and control skills .
She was astonished by her wife’s attention to the students, and her mouth was wide open… ,
… It’s crazy… .
I felt suspicious of her behavior .
It’s enough not to have to do this, but I don’t know why they’re trying to break the spirit of the students .
After a while ,
[ this, then… Special Achievement Award… ]
The voice of the announcer, who seemed to be embarrassed by the atmosphere of the auditorium, was heard, and the awards ceremony continued .
*
A mother’s sweet voice echoes in the auditorium .
[ Special Achievement Award. Yoo Ji-hwan. The above student, as an academy student… ]
And Yoo Ji-hwan, who stood on the podium to represent us .
“… .”
Yoo Ji-hwan, standing on the podium, was shining so brightly that my mother couldn’t get it .
So small that I feel. So gorgeous and bright .
[ … Mon, 25th. Chairman Jeong Nan-do. Congratulations . ]
After reading her mother’s certificate like that, her mother presented Jihwan with the certificate .
Yoo Ji-hwan was not trembling, and he received the certificate with a relaxed smile, and the
two exchanged glances briefly, holding hands as if shaking hands lightly .
And at that moment .
The corners of the mother’s lips, which had been raised lightly, curved strangely .
Like a woman in love .
“… Huh ?”
It flew by so much that I thought I might have seen it wrong .
Clap clap clap clap -!!!!
Suddenly, loud applause filled the auditorium, and
I clapped my hands as if possessed by something, and slowly reflected on my mother’s face I had just seen .
A strange smile that I had never seen before .
… It was a strangely familiar feeling .
