Unlucky.

Kang Yu-won had been feeling this all day long, and now it was even more severe.

There wasn’t a big problem until a little while ago.

These days, deadlines are scarce, and the mere presence of the big event of starting school is enough to make you feel bad, but that’s always been the case.

There was a reserve, but regardless, it was difficult.

But now something incomparable has happened.

“When you say something nice, give me money.”

I got ripped off.

The seniors who took me to a corner alley were extorting me.

No matter how much of a jerk he is, this is his first time experiencing this situation. He couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

‘…Should I just pay and go?’

There was money.

Kang Yu-won was making more money than most small and medium-sized office workers. Because his novels are ranked high on novel sites.

If I give them just 100,000 won, wouldn’t they send it to me?

Of course, I didn’t have cash, but I could do it by bank transfer.

“Hey, are you ignoring what we say now?”

And soon he made his decision. Let’s give him money.

The money you make here and the money you make by going home and writing a novel.

As for which was more advantageous, the latter was of course more advantageous. Including your own psychological damage.

‘Runner.’

That was the moment when he opened his mouth thinking that. Someone came in here.

“….”

Sharp eyes, a handsome face, and a sturdy physique that would make you believe he’s an adult. The uniform of the school he attends.

Lastly, the stick wrapped in a long cloth held in his hand. At first glance, it looked like the bamboo sword was wrapped in cloth, but Kang Yu-won didn’t care.

‘Who was it?’

I’ve seen it before. But I didn’t remember it well.

He was a person who had little interest in his school life or most human relationships.

However, it wasn’t long before he was able to figure out the boy’s identity when he swung the stick like a sword.

‘Baek Si-hyeon.’

He was a famous person and a student in the same class.

One of the famous people in this town.

He has a handsome face, is good at sports, isn’t bad at studying, and even has a strong dream. He doesn’t say anything, but he takes care of everything.

In addition, he has a mixed-race Russian girlfriend.

He was a person who closely resembled the main character from many fantasy novels.

‘That’s why I know.’

And that was also the reason why Kang Yu-won, who was not interested in interpersonal relationships, knew about him.

He could be said to have had some influence on the personality of the main character of the novel he was writing.

Rather, looking at it this way, he seems like a real protagonist.

The main character who single-handedly saves a person in danger.

Force is outstanding.

You’re dealing with two trashy, disposable villains.

It’s a mixed bag.

‘I’m an extra.’

Looking at it this way, the composition wasn’t bad.

How many times should I rework it and use it as a plot?

“Keuuu!! Let’s wait and see!”

When I came to my senses, my seniors had run away and Baek Si-hyeon was catching his breath.

How can he speak like a third-rate villain even when running away?

Baek Si-hyeon opened her mouth to Kang Yu-won, who thought that such lines should not be used in my novel.

“Are you okay?”

I hit someone for the first time. Really, not sparring.

The opponent wasn’t that difficult, but regardless, I couldn’t help but feel my heart pounding.

‘There will be no retaliation.’

To begin with, that specialized high school is located very far away from here.

Not only is he unlikely to come here, but considering the security in this neighborhood, well.

“Ah, it’s okay. Thanks for your help.”

“…Then that’s it.”

Although I helped him for a while, I had no intention of talking to Kang Yu-won.

As I was about to leave, Kang Yu-won threw something in my direction.

It felt quite large and I realized that it was none other than an energy drink. It was also a very effective drink.

“…suddenly?”

“Thank you, but I don’t have anything to give you… I’ll buy you something later.”

“It’s okay.”

It even appears in the novel, that middle school was truly a series of hell.

It wasn’t long since I started writing properly, but it was natural since we went to school together.

When I got to high school, I picked up the pace and my life didn’t fall apart that much.

There was information that in middle school, I drank almost as much energy drink as water.

‘I don’t need to drink it, but I’m giving it to you anyway.’

I didn’t really have to sleep late, so I didn’t have anything to write about.

Still, it’s a sincerity, but it’s not a good idea to return it.

After putting the canned drink in my bag, I immediately turned around and headed to the dojo.

Quite a bit of time has passed since school started.

And that was enough time for the class to form a group.

A close friend from last year, a close friend now.

A group of like-minded friends has formed.

of course.

‘I don’t have it though.’

The only ones who didn’t have friends to play with were me, Riya, Kang Yu-won, and Kim Ho-yeon.

The first three are just the ones who aren’t interested in their surroundings, and Hoyeon… should I say that it feels like he naturally loses his friends because he starts playing around with us.

And it is now that the ‘group of friends’ is clearly visible.

“Then, start organizing a school trip group now.”

Voluntary group formation.

It was also a school trip.

Our school sends students on field trips at the end of third grade. That is also Jeju Island.

The school trip period is 3 nights and 4 days.

‘Is it different from Jo’s room?’

There were only two rooms, one for men and one for women.

A group was a group made up of people who liked each other.

That means that it doesn’t matter if men and women mix in the group.

‘I’m glad I can go with Riya.’

Anyway, to be honest, it didn’t take much time to form a group.

As I said before, groups of people who are already close have formed.

If they just went together, it would be difficult.

And of course, there were four people left behind.

Paradoxically, those who did not want to join a group naturally formed their own group.

“The supplies will be posted on BanTalk, so check them and prepare them!”

After the class president’s words, the class instantly became noisy.

What to do when everyone goes, what to take, etc.

And we were not part of that commotion.

“Then I’ll make a bantalk! Are you okay?”

Of course, three of the four people were already close friends, and the other one didn’t have any quirks in his personality, so there were no inconveniences.

The overall progress is good.

All we had to do was express our reactions or opinions.

“Can’t I take my laptop?”

“They say so.”

“You also collect cell phones…?”

“Yes, confiscated.”

“Holy shit!! Deadline!!”

Of course, in the case of Kang Yu-won, he seemed to be distracted by the rush of deadline hell, but it was none of my business.

Anyway, there were three main things to bring on a school trip.

A change of clothes.

Writing tool.

And swimsuits and beach gear.

“Are you at sea for a long time? You even have to bring a swimsuit.”

“On the third day, I heard it will be for almost 3 hours. It’s good for us.”

“Your skin burns.”

There were the above two things, but no swimsuit.

It’s already been 5 years since I went to the sea in this life.

What I wore then was said to be something I couldn’t wear now.

That meant I had to buy a new swimsuit.

“Riya, do you have a swimsuit?”

“Nothing. Small.”

The same situation applies to Riya.

Should I just wear short-sleeved shorts? Because swimsuits are expensive.

When we were thinking about that, Kim Ho-yeon seemed to have a good idea and made a suggestion to us.

“Then, let’s go buy swimsuits together this weekend. I don’t have one either, so I have to buy a new one.”

“The three of us?”

“No? Let’s go with five people.”

“One of them is Kang Yu-won, and the other one?”

“…What is my opinion? Didn’t you ask me?”

It’s not four, it’s five.

When I asked that, Hoyeon blushed slightly and then opened her mouth again.

” Even Haryeong is the same. Let’s go. Riya, it’s a bit like that if you’re the only woman. ”

“It’s okay. Even if I’m alone.”

“…Haryeong wants to go.”

Even if it weren’t for that, if Liya was the only woman, it wouldn’t be easy to choose a swimsuit.

It would be much more comfortable if I had a fellow woman, Jin Ha-ryeong. They even said that the two knew each other from the beginning.

Since we went to the academy together, it was nice to have this opportunity to become closer friends.

“No, what is my opinion?”

“Since you are in our group, I have no opinion on you!”

“This is the first time we talked today, right?”

Even though Ho-yeon was talking like that, Kang Yu-won was still watching. Do you really feel bad or are you okay?

Also, Kang Yu-won doesn’t really have anything to say to deny it, so it’s probably okay.

Kang Yoo-won is the type of person who says bluntly if there is something he really doesn’t want to do.

‘We became friends faster than that.’

It must have been the first time the two met, but they already seemed comfortable.

As expected, Hoyeon was not a person who should be in this group.

“Then, I will go to the department store by 2pm on Saturday, and I will post the time and location in the chat room.”

After planning accordingly, school ended not long after.

For some reason, today is a day without Riya’s academy, which she goes to almost every day for the first time in a long time.

We headed home together as soon as school was over. Because there is Riya’s house on the way.

“Sihyeon, are you looking forward to the school trip?”

“School trip? …I’m not looking forward to it. It was my first time there.”

I have never been on a school field trip. This life was natural and the last one.

Due to many adverse events in my previous life, I never went on a field trip in middle school and only did kendo in high school.

The experience of staying out at school like this was my first experience in my entire life.

“Then I’m looking forward to it too.”

“If I said I wasn’t looking forward to it, did you mean to say I wasn’t looking forward to it?”

“Yes. Then I have no expectations.”

What is the standard of expectation in Riya?

After thinking about that for a moment, I smiled and took her hand.

Hands still cold and thin,

“I’m looking forward to the weekend too.”

“…Yes.”

With that, we headed to our respective homes.

One day later, on Saturday.

The promised day has arrived.
