[Dance Department] offers a variety of choices. From artistic contemporary dance to somewhat classical ballet or gymnastics, and the recent addition of ‘popular dance’ as an option.

“Let’s go for popular dance!”

Upon hearing the name popular dance, I decided without hesitation. It was said to be the only choice with a club-like atmosphere.

Together with Ha-yoon, I entered the long-awaited [Dance Department] building. Upon entering the classroom labeled popular dance, mirrors covering the walls illuminated the room.

“The mirrors are so clean and bright.”

The first thing I noticed upon entering was the strong scent of cosmetics and sweat inside. Hmm, the smell!

As a guy planning to dance like a female idol, I already felt a sense of resistance. Yet, the reason for my good mood was thinking about students sweating without knowing there was a devil nearby.

“It seems we’re the first ones here.”

“Seems like it.”

We arrived right on time, yet there was no one else inside except Ha-yoon and me.

“This place has a casual vibe… Stockings on the floor… Soju?”

Snack wrappers and a green soju bottle were rolling around in the corner. Looking closely at the floor, it was filled with shoe prints… something was off.

“Are new students coming in this time?”

“They seem rushed.”

“Is she… mistaking me for someone else? Trying to be nice to new students.”

“Quite…”

A slightly tipsy voice approached noisily. I glanced towards the source with a nonchalant expression, only to come face to face with the approaching crowd.

“… ”

“…New student?”

Clearly, they looked like troublemakers. I had never seen a student wearing the school uniform like that at Queen Bartz.

“…Has it gone downhill?”

The atmosphere was tense.

At that moment, a girl with striking red hair, who seemed like the leader of the group, stared blankly at me. After a moment of silence, she flicked her finger.

“…Lee Ji-yoon? Follow me.”

“Hey, heard that? Move quickly.”

“How does she know my name? I’m sure we’ve never met.”

The gangster girls surrounded me from all sides. In that state, we entered a narrow room. Seeing cigarette butts on the floor indicated it was a smoking area.

“Phew…”

The bullies started smoking while surrounding us.

“A bit scary… I hope Ha-yoon is okay.”

Due to the power difference, Ha-yoon had to helplessly watch as I was dragged away.

The red-haired girl, who had been setting the mood, smiled broadly and gently patted my shoulder.

“Why are you so nervous? Relax, relax. I’m Han Hwa-rin. Just call me Hwa-rin unnie comfortably.”

“Wow~ Is this new student already asserting dominance in the school?”

A senior, whose buttons seemed ready to pop due to the shortened uniform, remarked.

“Yedam, be quiet.”

Despite being somewhat skinny, Senior Yedam excessively tightened her uniform, emphasizing her inappropriate chest and buttocks.

“Feels a bit uncomfortable.”

Although her heavy makeup was a flaw, she was above average in looks, making me gulp.

Hwa-rin rested her elbow on my shoulder and held my earlobe. Pulling it gently, she spoke cheerfully.

“Isn’t this girl stunning? She seems like a fun one to hang out with.”

“…She’s pretty, indeed.”

“Her personality seems nice too.”

“I approve too.”

“…Wait, is this the flow of joining the bully group?”

Thinking about getting aroused among the female bullies, I felt myself growing. Disgusted, I quickly covered it with my skirt using a slime bag.

“Nice to meet you, unnies!”

I felt the need to speak up instead of staying silent.

“She’s overly energetic with a head full of flowers.”

“Hey, that’s harsh.”

“Your junior might speak refreshingly. It could be hurtful, though.”

As the conversation unfolded, the response from the clique of bullies was friendly, so there weren’t any major issues fitting in.

Rather than me being likable, it felt more like Han Hwarin, the leader of the group, noticed my friendliness and treated me warmly.

“Han Hwarin unnie! The red hair suits you incredibly well. When I first saw you, I really thought you were a movie star.”

“Saying that won’t get you anywhere.”

‘Pretending not to notice despite the corners of your mouth drooping.’

I also noticed this point and focused on Han Hwarin.

“A rare concept these days, huh?”

Yi Ye-dam said with a smile.

‘In reality, I’m older than her…’

Amidst the cheerful atmosphere, our conversation quickly consumed the cigarettes. After the initiation ceremony, as we stepped outside, I noticed Hayoon leaning against the wall, lost in thought.

“Jiyoon…”

‘It’s tough being this weak… To survive in this world, one must grow stronger.’

I comforted the teary-eyed Hayoon.

“Is she a friend? How cute.”

“She looks like my cousin’s younger sister. Adorable.”

Fortunately, instead of threatening Hayoon, who was secretly being observed, the unnis treated her very kindly.

Indeed, the world seems superficial. Once you look cool and pretty, 90% of the problems are solved. If I hadn’t been born with this appearance, I would have lived without knowing the cheat code beauty possesses.

‘Thrilling. Always new. Being pretty is the best.’

Confidence overflowing! My sperm is throbbing!

Among the thugs, playing with an erection brought a heavenly feeling.

‘A situation that a teenage boy full of acne would fantasize about is actually happening.’

I enjoyed the current situation as if I were the protagonist of a drama.

“Shall we have a party to celebrate the arrival of a new sibling?”

The unnie wearing blue panties under her dungarees poured some soju.

‘Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I had alcohol.’

Not being one to enjoy drinking, I hadn’t thought about it much before, but seeing the alcohol made me thirsty. I also prepared for a drinking party along with the unnis to match the mood.

‘But, isn’t there a teacher here to manage this place separately? It’s been a while since I had a drink, but…’

While receiving the soju handed by Han Hwarin without worry, someone entered the room.

“…What are you doing here?”

“Park Tae-i?”

” !!! ”

It was none other than the blond-tanned thug, Park Tae-i. …But why is Han Hwarin unnie surprised?

“Wow, a lot of juniors are coming in today?”

“You look tough, don’t you?”

With the appearance of a clearly thuggish individual, the attention of the bullies focused on him.

‘I can’t imagine that lunatic being under someone…’

“Look at these bitches. Aren’t they glaring at us?”

““ … ””

‘Crazy bitch..’

He accelerated like stepping on the gas pedal, immediately speeding up. It was the first time I had seen an individual speeding against a group in my life.

“You’re acting all tough, huh? Do you have any idea who I am?”

Yi Ye-dam threatened with his arms crossed.

“Sisters, what’s with the fuss? Why bother about marriage relations? You’re just a nobody.”

“What, what.. Nobody?!!”

“If your head’s empty, of course you’re a nobody, what did you expect?”

The atmosphere turned dangerously hostile. The unnis began to surround Park Tae-i. Hayoon, Han Hwarin, and I took a step back to observe the situation.

‘…Wait, why is that unnie looking scared?’

Her confident demeanor from moments ago had vanished, replaced by a nervous glance and rolling eyes.

“I’ll spare your life if you apologize now. I’ll give you exactly 3 seconds. 3, 2…”

As Park Tae-i started counting, the unnis, filled with anger as if they had suffered a lifetime of insults, grabbed the soju bottles beneath them.

“1.. These damn bitches.”

Swish! Thud! Thump! Clang!

“Aaahh!!”

“Get this crazy bitch!”

“Aaahh! Damn it, let go?”

“…Wow, damn.”

It felt like watching a scene from an action movie, only more blatant and violent in reality.

In the blink of an eye, Park Tae-i, who had tidied up all the delinquents except Hwa-rin, thoroughly searched me with his eyes.

“Did you major in [dance] too?”

“Yeah, nice to meet you.”

“Unbelievable.”

Truly, she was like a beast by nature, provoking people. Fortunately, it seemed she had no intention of provoking me.

“Let’s get along well from now on, ‘friend.’”

“…Seriously, unbelievable.”

Park Tae-i, as if losing interest, clicked his tongue and left.

As his crazy presence faded, the cold existence of the sisters collapsed on the floor like corpses came into view.

“Hwa-rin unnie, let’s call an ambulance first.”

“…Okay.”

The first day at [dance] ended with the sisters being taken away in an ambulance.

I thought the gang would report Park Tae-i immediately, but perhaps they were worried about exposing the room full of alcohol bottles. Maybe due to Queen Bartz’s nature, there was no obsession with money since each student was from wealthy families.

Surprisingly, the evaluation of me skyrocketed within a day. After calling the ambulance and accompanying them to the hospital, I gained an image as a “pretty and loyal girl.”

What’s even funnier is that upon seeing the unharmed Hwa-rin, I respected her, saying, “Indeed, Hwa-rin… Even that monstrous woman couldn’t harm you.”

It seems nobody noticed that Hwa-rin, who had been hiding from Park Tae-i in a corner, had witnessed the massacre.

“…So for the next week, we will focus on intensive stretching education.”

Now, leaning on the awkward wooden desk for students, I concentrated on the class. Surprisingly, it’s now time for [advanced physical education].

Although I expected vigorous physical movements in the sports department, theory was also considered important.

“…Or maybe it’s because it’s a regular class?”

Stretching is broadly categorized into two types: those that loosen joints and those that elongate muscles.

Stretching helps increase joint mobility, enhance flexibility, promote blood circulation, and prevent injuries. I knew stretching was important, but I didn’t expect it to be this crucial.

‘The class is unexpectedly informative…’

Over the next week, I plan to find the optimal stretching tailored to my body through various methods. It seems to be the most beneficial class I’ve taken so far.

‘Quite different from neglecting kids in physical education classes in Korea.’

Of course, the difference in budget allocation for education is staggering. …But what if some corrupt politician embezzled the education funds? I decided to just keep cursing.

‘I should feel comfortable cursing given what I’ve been through.’

After reaffirming this in my mind, I organized my stationery.

‘Looking forward to the practical sessions.’

Regular classes require partners to assist each other, and I’m thinking of partnering with Ha-yoon for practice, imagining her freely moving her body.

“Ha-yoon is like a convenient sex toy.”

“Sex toy?”

“…Can we pretend you didn’t hear that?”

“Sure!”

I blurted out nonsense. What a crazy slip-up! Get a grip and don’t cross the line… Lately, I’ve been easily satisfying my sexual desires with Ha-yoon, which led me to blabber without thinking.

To justify, while contemplating sexual release yesterday, the term “sex toy” from an adult site must have stuck subconsciously. And I usually manage my sexual desires within reasonable limits with Ha-yoon. There’s room for normalcy here.

“Ha-yoon, you don’t dislike me, right?”

“I really like you!”

See, when the person involved forgives, who can blame me! The sex toy is innocent!!!

“You are a moral compass, sex toy!!”

” ?? ”

After [advanced physical education] ended, walking towards the main gate with Ha-yoon, I noticed Choryul leaning against the wall between buildings, bowing his head in the shady area.

“Ha Yuna, I have something to take care of, so I’ll go ahead today.”

“Why? If it’s urgent, I can help!”

“It’s something small but important…”

Approaching Choryul, who was bowing his head while leaving Ha Yuna shedding tears of farewell behind.
