Two weeks have passed since I entered high school.

Of course, it wasn’t said that anything special had happened in the meantime.

Speaking of which, the arrangement of the classes.

‘I never thought it would all stick together.’

Even if I am, does that mean it is a romantic comedy creation?

We were all thrown into the same class.

Me, Riya, Hoyeon and Yuwon.

Finally, everything up to Asuka.

Of course, before that, Seonghwa High School only had 10 classes, but I had no idea that all of them would be crowded.

“Now it’s the last period.”

“I’m glad it’s 6th period.”

High school life went very smoothly.

Only two weeks had passed at most, but my classmates weren’t particularly bad and the teacher wasn’t bad.

What about studying…

It’s not as bad as I thought.

‘It’s getting hard now.’

I didn’t come back when I was a college student, but at most I was reincarnated when I was in my second year of high school, so studying was difficult even when I was in my first year of high school.

Although my grades are still decent, I think it will be difficult when I become a second year of high school.

Recently, the time for kendo has also increased slightly.

‘But I still have to go to college.’

Still, I have decided to go to university with Riya, so I have no intention of giving up my studies.

“What do you do during Changche?”

“I don’t know, because I haven’t said anything yet.”

Hoyeon is living quite, no, quite hard these days.

I participate in most of the school life, filming and editing videos until dawn. I also heard that Haryeong also meets outside of school quite often.

Everyday life, I feel like even two bodies might not be enough.

These days, I noticed that my dark circles have become darker, so the situation has come to my attention.

“How did you sleep today?”

“About 4 hours? Editing was finished a little quickly.”

Still, he was making quite a lot of money… and he said he was having fun, so I didn’t stop him.

As the two were talking like that, Asuka, who was talking to Yuwon next to her, spoke first.

“They say they are deciding on a club?”

“Club?”

“Yeah, maybe?”

After entering high school, Asuka and I became close friends, continuing our relationship from that day.

The closest of us is Yuwon, so we stick together the most.

It was really different because it felt like I was watching the original romantic comedy with my own eyes.

“Club. Where are you going?”

Riya, who was sitting next to me and quietly listening to the story, stopped drawing and asked me.

What club are you going to join?

The answer to that has already been decided. Even before entering school.

“Kendo club. It was there.”

Kendo clubs do not exist in most Korean high schools.

This is because there are not many people who do it, and the number of competitions and players is not large.

There is no demand.

Even if there are people coming in, there is a high probability that there will not be many people learning kendo professionally.

However, this Seonghwa High School has a kendo club. It seemed like it was a cooperative high school between Korea and Japan.

Kendo is a very popular sport in Japan.

‘It’s a good thing for me.’

They said they gave me more support than I expected, which was nice for me.

Moreover, after listening to it, the level of the kendo club seemed to be quite not bad.

I also participated in quite a few competitions.

“What about Riya?”

“Drawing Club.”

“Do you like it?”

“Just looking at the picture, it seems okay.”

We were both clear about our desired careers, so we chose the club without hesitation.

Both me and Liyana had been focusing on kendo and drawing since they were young, so it was easy to decide on a route.

Grumble-

At that time, the teacher came into the class.

This is the coolest teacher I’ve ever seen. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a teacher who starts off by saying business as soon as he arrives.

“We will send you a link to your cell phone, so please select a club. The deadline is tomorrow.”

“Is there an interview?”

“There are quite a few clubs.”

The kendo club is a club that has interviews.

Of course, I didn’t think I would be eliminated. Even in my opinion, I am better at kendo than my peers.

‘Of course, you shouldn’t be overconfident.’

Still, after living until I was 18 and coming back with that knowledge, the difference was quite significant.

I was promoted to 3rd dan during my freshman year of high school, which is significantly faster than my previous life.

“Anyway, if the club application deadline passes, you will be automatically assigned, so make your selection before then.”

“Yes!”

It was the last period on Friday, and our teacher was very generous in giving us free time after that.

The name was self-study, but how many people here really do self-study?

Most people were on their phones, talking, or sleeping.

Nana Riya was the second case.

“Riya? What are you drawing?”

“Sihyeon.”

“…Me?”

Riya was sitting next to me and drawing my face in her notebook.

I haven’t drawn much lately, but this is me drawing for the first time in a while.

He drew my face without hesitation, as if he didn’t need to see my appearance.

‘…The quality is completely different from before.’

My first portrait I received in kindergarten.

It was still safely stored in my house, in my room.

Besides that, I collected all the paintings that Riya gifted me.

As for the paintings she gave me, they are all treasures.

Even if the quality is a little lower than what I’m drawing now, it’s all a process.

“Isn’t it a little different from my face? He’s so handsome.”

No matter how you look at it, the person in the notebook is not me, but an extremely handsome man with black hair. Not envious of celebrities.

I’m not ugly, but not like this.

“Same. With Sihyeon.”

“…Really?”

“Totally.”

It took a lot of time for Riya to draw my entire face.

After about 20 minutes, the painting was completed using just a pencil, adding light and shade.

She tore off a page from the notebook and handed it to me.

I put that picture in a folder in my bag. If it gets crumpled, it’s a big problem.

“Another treasure has been found.”

“…Have you thrown away the previous picture yet?”

“There is also a kindergarten.”

“…Really throw that away.”

Thinking about the drawings from kindergarten, she blushed slightly, as if she was quite embarrassed.

She seemed embarrassed that I had those old pictures… but I liked it all.

“I will color it with paint later and draw it properly.”

“Now that I think about it, I haven’t received the properly colored one yet.”

“Because I couldn’t color it.”

When I look at the paintings from the art academy that Riya sends me from time to time, it seems like that’s not the case.

I saw a picture of her starting to play with her pen again, questioning her standards.

This is a landscape painting, not a portrait like before.

It was not a view of the classroom, but a view from the outside.

“Is it the sea?”

Once it took shape a little, its identity was not difficult to guess.

The open sky, the wide beach, the horizon and the parasols there, and the little people seen sparsely.

It clearly looked like a sandy beach.

“Yes. Sea.”

We haven’t been to the sea since we went to Jeju Island in the third year of middle school.

We talked about it a few times, but we were both too busy to schedule a date, and our ability to execute it was low.

By the time I remembered it, it was already fall.

That’s why the sea story became a blur.

“Do you want to go?”

“At least once?”

Of course, it is the end of March now.

The weather was not suitable for going to the sea. It is the time when winter and spring intersect.

If you went to the sea wearing a swimsuit right now, there was a high chance you would freeze to death.

really.

“Let’s go.”

But it was worth going to the sea later rather than now.

If you confirm your plan from now on, at least it won’t go astray.

“Let’s go on summer vacation.”

“Summer vacation?”

“Because nothing was decided at that time. Even if you decide your plan now.”

“Good.”

The memories of the last time at the sea were good memories for me, so I also wanted to go.

A story that doesn’t need to be rejected.

If it was summer vacation, there was nothing I couldn’t do, and since I was now a high school student, I didn’t have to have a guardian.

There is a high probability that both parents will give permission as long as you don’t do anything dangerous.

“Should I invite the kids and go with them?”

I opened my mouth thinking about whether I should invite my friends and go with them.

“No.”

Riya cut me off with a stern voice.

And in contrast to that firm voice, there is a voice with a bit of shyness.

“…Let’s go by ourselves.”

“By ourselves?”

“Yes. Just the two of us.”

Let’s go to the sea just the two of us.

That’s what Riya said.

Instead of taking your friends, let’s go to the sea alone.

This was even more surprising because Riya had never directly told her not to go with her friends.

Still, it was okay up to that point.

No, I don’t know if it was okay, but what is certain is that a bigger bomb exploded behind him.

“And…”

“…?”

“Let’s sleep there. One night.”

Let’s go to the beach and stay overnight. Just the two of us.

The moment I heard those words, my mind immediately fell into confusion.

It’s just the two of us playing together. I’m used to it, except for going a little far…

Being alone in a place other than home was a problem on a slightly different level.

“We are still minors?”

“It is possible with parental permission. Because I’m a high school student. Even if we can’t share the same room.”

“…Money?”

“If you have saved up your pocket money, do something.”

As she said, high school students could stay there if their parents gave permission.

Of course, there is a lot to prepare and most parents would not give permission, but…

‘These are people who will give permission at any time as long as safety is ensured.’

For some reason, it seemed like Riya would solve the ‘safety’ related part.

It’s just a feeling, though.

“Let’s think about that later.”

“Why?”

“There’s still a lot of time left.”

There are still a few months left until summer vacation.

At that time, Riya’s thoughts might change. Your parents may not approve.

There was no need to come to a conclusion now because I didn’t know the situation at the time.

“… Accommodation is something you do.”

Why are you so determined?

Riya seemed to have no intention of giving up on the offer of accommodation.
