Chapter 150 – Second Semester

The summer vacation, which lasted only a month, ended in an instant, and I quit my short-term part-time job in the morning on the last Friday of the vacation.

‘But I can take a breather now.’

Perhaps because the work was very difficult, the hourly wage was quite high, so even though I only worked for a month, I felt like I could breathe a little easier when I combined it with the hourly wage from my part-time job at a convenience store.

When I think about how I was begging for money at the beginning of the semester because I only had a few thousand won in my account, where is this?

And one more thing.

#####

During lunchtime on the Monday of the last week of vacation, Sooyeon called me in an extremely excited voice.

– Senior! Senior! Senior!!!

“What’s going on, Suyeon? Why are you so excited?”

– Argh! I did it! I did it!!

An excited voice that is not typical of Suyeon, who rarely shows such strong emotions.

She was so excited that she couldn’t even say what she was doing and was too busy screaming.

“You did it? What? Is that what you said you were preparing?”

– Huh! Huh! I succeeded! Ahhh!

“What is it? What is it that you like so much? Now are you going to tell me what it is?”

-Ahahahaha! I love it so much I’m going crazy! Ah, what should I do!

“Congratulations! But I’m curious about what it is. Can you tell me now?”

But Sooyeon’s answer…

– No! Not yet! Because this is a surprise! I’ll see it in person the day school starts and let you know! If you tell me over the phone, Kim Sae! Please bear with me for just one week! Got it?!

“Ah, that’s really expensive. I’m curious, will you take responsibility if I die?”

– Hehe, that still doesn’t work. Because it’s a really, really important surprise!

“Tsk, then why don’t we wait until the first day of school? By the way, has Gong Young-bae been contacting you more since then?”

After Soo-yeon accepted my plan and changed her profile picture and Sang-me, she said that Gong Young-bae contacted her within a few hours.

At that time, Soo-yeon deliberately pretended to be in a very difficult situation and set a trap, and Gong Young-bae was caught in the act and the frequency of sending messages increased significantly after that.

– Uh. Are you saying that if you’ve been having a hard time lately, you’ll comfort me, so I’ll meet you for a little while? It’s funny, since that day, he hasn’t even called or texted me once.

“Don’t meet her, but talk to her appropriately. Do you know what that bastard tried to do to Eunji a few days ago? It’s okay because Eunji is strong because she worked out, but you don’t know, so don’t be alone with that bastard.”

– Hehe, don’t worry. Because I have no intention of meeting such a person in person.

“Still, I can’t help but be worried. I suggested it. Anyway, you understand what I’m saying, right?”

– Yes, don’t worry, senior. Because we will never meet. What do you like about me? You did that to me.

“Well, that’s good. Then, I’ll see you later at my part-time job. But you’re not going to tell me what it really is?”

– No!

Just like that, our summer vacation ended, and it was the first day of school for the second semester that everyone hated.

As soon as I got to school, I was surrounded by boys and started receiving countless requests to shake hands.

“Hey, Han Seong-jin! What is that photo? I asked you several times in group chat, but you didn’t even answer!”

“I thought I had made a mistake at first because I saw faces I knew from my community appearing in memes.”

“Fuck… Is it good to go to the water park 1:3? Huh? Was it good? It must have been perfect, right?”

“Ha… I’m so fucking jealous. No matter how I go, I’m with Lee Yu-ri and Jeong Eun-ji…”

The reason is that some of the photos posted on Yumin’s SNS were spread on the Internet.

The three women in the photo had faces and bodies that were not at the average level, and Yumin and Eunji in particular had very exposed swimsuits, so they could not help but attract men’s attention.

The boys would be foaming at the mouth if they found out that the four of them even had an orgy.

“Hey, you said that the SNS owner who posted this photo was your boyfriend… Isn’t this person Lee Yu-ri’s older sister?”

“Aren’t you dating Lee Yu-ri?”

“That’s right.”

“Then what does it mean to be a boyfriend?”

“That’s also true.”

“?”

“So, while you’re dating Lee Yu-ri… You’re also dating their older sister?”

“Uh…”

The expressions of the boys surrounding me changed to look at trash.

“…”

“…”

“Sons.”

I couldn’t refute that statement.

“I put both legs on both legs, or both legs and both legs? And this is a real dog.”

“Fuck… He’s such a bitch, but I’m also so fucking jealous… The woman on that SNS is also gorgeous…”

“There were a lot of guys who were targeting Lee Yu-ri, but I dated her and even dated her older sister… People like us are all going to die because of people like you!”

“Hmm, hmm…”

When I was scolded by boys, all I could do was avoid their gaze like a criminal.

Meanwhile, Yuri and Eunji were also mixed in among the girls and being asked various questions.

The relationship between me and Eunji was not revealed to the public yet, so no one knew about it, so Yuri was the one who mainly asked questions.

I couldn’t tell exactly what was being said because the voices were mixed together, but given the circumstances, it seemed like he was being asked similar questions to me.

It would be clear to see that sometimes some of the girls standing there would look at me like I was trash.

While I was being asked questions like that, one guy asked me.

“Huh? Wait a minute, then what happened to that second-grader who always came to our class to play? Are you really a three-legged kid?”

To be exact, it was four-legged, but my current relationship with Suyeon was superficially bad, so I tried to gloss over what I was saying.

Because the teacher came in at that time, the boys could not hear my answer and went to their respective seats to sit down.

As soon as the teacher came in, she stood in front of her desk and looked around the classroom.

“Well, it’s the second semester starting today, guys. You missed your teacher, right?”

There was light booing among the kids, and the teacher seemed to have clearly expected it and laughed.

“These guys are just making fun of their homeroom teacher. It’s the first day of the second semester, so let’s take a look. Oh, and an important announcement.”

The teacher saw that there were no empty seats at the back of the classroom and pointed to the ones closest to the back door.

“You two there. Go to the warehouse and get a desk and a chair. Wash the hand rags in front of there.”

“Huh? A desk and a chair? Is there a new student in our class?”

“I’m not a transfer student… Oh, look at my mind. Come on in and introduce yourself.”

The teacher gestured to the open front door.

And then a girl appeared through the open door.

Hair dyed blonde, huge breasts compared to other girls, and a slightly short skirt…

It was a very familiar face to the kids in our class, so both boys and girls reacted with ‘Huh?!’

And that goes for me too.

“Huh?! No…”

The girl standing in front of her table bowed her head with a cheerful expression and waved her hand to everyone.

“Hello! My name is Soo-yeon Choi, and I’m taking the 3rd grade class with you starting today! Please take care of me!”

#####

Choi Soo-yeon started dating Han Seong-jin, but because they were in different grades, they absolutely did not have enough time to be together physically.

Of course, she worked her part-time job on weekdays, but whenever there were important events at her school, such as sports days or school trips, she was separated from her beloved boyfriend and had no choice but to be alone. Br〉

Every time she saw Lee Yu-ri and Jeong Eun-ji flirting with Han Seong-jin, Choi Soo-yeon’s heart burned with jealousy and resentment.

‘Damn, damn… Why is it always just me…! I can’t live like this!’

Choi Su-yeon, who had made up her mind to stay with Han Seong-jin, went back to her old middle school days and studied like crazy, starting from the time she was preparing for her mock exam in June.

Although there was a period in the middle when she slowed down in her studies, she was so smart that she conquered the 2nd grade level in an instant and did not stop there and continued her studies up to the 3rd grade level.

Even when she worked part-time at a convenience store, Sooyeon Choi never let go of her English vocabulary book and studied all day from the time she opened her eyes in the morning until just before she went to bed at night.

As a result, she received a close to perfect score in the mock exam in June and achieved first grade this year.

Her homeroom teacher attempted to counsel her due to her tremendous improvement in grades, and there, Soo-yeon Choi revealed her aspirations.

“I want to skip a grade to third grade!”

And from then on, her grade skipping project began.

The first condition for her monthly class is that her grades be good enough to be recognized as having nothing more to teach in that grade’s class.

However, Choi Soo-yeon needed much more validation because she had deliberately ruined her grades due to the stress from her family.

So she had to frequently take tests that were inspected by teachers separately to prove that her June mock test scores were not fraudulent.

And even when she was on vacation, she was constantly tested to see if she would be able to keep up with her third-grade progress by taking skip classes.

After juggling her classes and exams every day for two months from June until the end of August when her vacation ended, she passed the full course exam for the first semester of her third year and was confirmed to have advanced her grade. Br〉

‘Is this what a surprise was? It’s a real surprise.’

I was shocked and looked at Suyeon, who was happily waving to everyone.

Right now, I was very resentful of the plan I had made.

I wanted to immediately sit down next to her and congratulate her and give her a hug and praise her for doing a good job, but I wasn’t in a situation where I could do that right now.

Maybe that’s why, after Su-yeon made eye contact with me for a moment, she deliberately pretended not to notice and avoided her gaze.

Instead, Gong Young-bae was looking at Su-yeon with a blatant smile.

Well, this guy thinks Suyeon is already fighting with me and trying to come back to him…

It was nice to see her hanging steadily.

It was a shame that I couldn’t cuddle up next to Suyeon and congratulate her right now, but it didn’t matter.

Because in the future we will be able to spend much more time together.
