“Eh… Hello to all the students and parents who attended the Jinsu High School Sports Day. Well… Our Jinsu High School Sports Festival has now reached its 72nd anniversary. Jinsu Higher Education Academy’s sports day began with the intention of being a festival where everyone can enjoy together as one from the time of its establishment-”

“Oh, you talk a lot. It’s so hot I’m dying.”

“Do it in moderation and quit…”

The principal’s mental attack, which usually precedes a major event, caused more than 1,000 members of Jinsugyo gathered in the playground to murmur and swear.

“With this, I declare the opening of the 72nd Jinsu Higher Education Academy Sports Festival.”

“Wow!!!”

The sermon continued for over 10 minutes under the slowly warming May sun, and everyone who had been swearing throughout the sermon gave out heartfelt cheers when the painful time ended.

Immediately, the student council officers and teachers who prepared for this sports day began leading everyone according to the set program.

“2nd and 3rd graders follow their class written on the stone steps over there! First-year soccer members gather right in the center of the playground!”

“First graders who don’t play soccer and second and third graders, move on! The 2nd grade 4-a-5 angle will start right away, so those participating should come to the track starting line!”

Jinsugyo’s large playground soon began to be crowded with people crossing the street.

Yuri, who had prepared hard for this sports day, was unable to get into the sports day atmosphere because she was leading the people along with other student council officers.

While Yuri was busy, the 3rd grade class, including Jeong Eunji and I, sat in a designated spot on the stone steps.

At that time, I saw two boys wearing second-grade fluorescent vests over their gym uniforms loitering near the seats where our class was sitting.

I don’t know his name, but he looks familiar somehow.

Looking at the little tattooed man on his forearm, it was clear that he was one of Jin Su-gyo’s gang.

When the group of second graders made eye contact with me, they began to hesitate, rolling their eyes, not knowing what to do.

Just by looking at them, it seemed like they had something to say to me, and even though we were in different grades, it wasn’t good for them to be hanging around my class anyway, so I got up from my seat for a moment and approached them.

“Ah, senior. Hello!”

As soon as I got close, the two guys bent their waists 90 degrees and gave a gangster-style greeting.

I skipped over their greetings and asked.

“Why are you hanging around behind our class?”

“Oh, well… I came because I wanted to tell you something.”

“What is it.”

“I think we will go to war with Eunbong today.”

My curiosity arose.

When you say there’s a fight, people tend to be most curious about the reason.

“Why.”

“Well… I heard that first graders had one-night stands with girls from other schools, and one of them was Kang Baek-san’s sex partner…”

“You’re being so fucking bullshit.”

Looking at the people who caused it and Eunbong who started a gang fight over it, I couldn’t believe the world was this pathetic from the outside.

Even a guy named Han Seong-jin thought it was cool when he lived in that idiotic well.

“So you came here to tell me that? I would have said I was retiring.”

“Oh, that’s not it… If you don’t mind, I’d like to ask you if you could help me just once.”

“Huh.”

” That bastard, Kang Baek-san, has been completely blindsided and has been killing my children on sight for the past few weeks. Senior Hwang Seong-tae also said he couldn’t take it anymore and fought, but what would happen if he wasn’t there…”

“So, are you asking me, who has now retired, to get involved in a gang fight again and act as a meat shield? Did Hwang Seong-tae order it?”

The two second graders were shocked by what I said.

“That’s not it, senior! How dare we…”

“I told you that I’m going to take my hands off now so you can figure it out on your own, whether you’re fighting or fighting, right? But why do you come to me and ask for help? Did you guys hear what I said when I retired?”

“Oh, no! You were wrong, senior!”

“Wrong!”

I walked up to one of them, put my arm around his shoulder, and lowered my voice slightly.

“Whew… If it were normal, you guys would have been taken to the back of the building right now and beaten until you pooped.”

gulp.

The two guys were very nervous and swallowed their saliva.

“I’m in a good mood these days, so I’ll just say it once and get it over with. I’ll say it again, I’m just a non-existent person now. Whether you fight or bicker, it’s all on your own. Just erase my existence from your memories. Andastan?”

“Yes, yes, senior!”

“Okay. If you understand, go.”

The two guys left the place as soon as I gave them permission.

I was curious about the gang fight itself, and I wanted to watch it, but it was just a world of low-ranking gangsters in their own world.

Now that I had decided to stop doing such pathetic things, there was no need to know how the fight was going or who would win.

I returned to my seat and started enjoying the sports day.

On the other hand, Yuri was not able to enjoy the sports day properly, perhaps because she was in the student council, and was busy running around carrying things.

I couldn’t help but take out the jumping box from the gym storage and went up to Yuri, who was whining and moving it, and said to her while holding the things she was carrying for her.

“Yuri, aren’t you having a hard time? You can’t really enjoy the sports day and you’re just working, so take a break.”

“Phew… It’s hard, but I’m the student council president so I can’t do it…”

“What kind of person has only responsibility and no rights? You’ve been having a hard time always coming home late. You should also enjoy a day like today.”

“Still, the student council president must lead by example…”

“Then you haven’t led by example until now? Have some fun. Ask the students in the student council who have done less work so far, rather than doing it all yourself. Where should I put this?”

“Oh, that’s over there…”

I helped clean up with Yuri and prepared for the next event.

When an opaque cardboard box filled with a lot of written paper was placed in the middle of the track, everyone’s attention was drawn to it.

In some ways, it is the highlight of sports events, receiving more attention than men’s soccer games or afternoon runs.

A race to borrow items.

“Don’t you do this? I think it would be fun.”

“I told you. I’m the student council president, so I’m busy managing things, so it’s a bit difficult to participate. Are you really not participating in this?”

“Wouldn’t the kids be surprised if I were to come rushing in to borrow something? I’ll play soccer later and then go do something intense like sprinting.”

“But these days, you seem to get along pretty well with the boys in your class… It’s a shame. Ah, it’s time, Seongjin. I’ll go to the finish line over there first. See you later at lunch!”

“Okay, it’s hot, so don’t push yourself too hard.”

Yuri waved at me and ran to the finish line to see the referee, and I also headed back to my class seat.

Because several people per class participate in the borrowing race, the number of runners waiting in the playground numbered well over a dozen.

Among them was Eunji Jeong, a member of our class, and Suyeon Choi, a second grader.

“If you reveal something you need to borrow or show the contents of the note to others, you will be disqualified! Participants should not show the contents of the note until the end of the game, and after passing the finish line, return the note to the referee standing there!”

The judge standing at the finish line was obviously referring to Yuri.

“Then get ready! Let’s go!”

The student council officer fired a signal gun into the sky, and at the same time, dozens of men and women ran on the track and headed toward the box containing the note.

……

The first to take the lead was, of course, Eunji Jeong, who is preparing to become a professional track and field athlete.

“Eunji is fast!”

“Pick it up quickly!”

The borrowing race is a big event type sport where more attention is paid to what you can borrow, who you take with you, and whether the note the runner picks is truly your ‘favorite’ rather than winning or losing.

While Eunji Jeong reached the box and rummaged around with her hands inside, other people close to her cheered and waited for her to open the note.

Jeong Eun-ji opened the note, read its contents and tilted her head.

“No… what is this.”

And when I saw the contents of the note, I was perplexed and looked around to find the person I needed to borrow.

Then, when he got to class 3, he paused for a moment and looked around at his classmates.

Friends who didn’t know what Eunji Jeong had chosen cheered and showed off all the items they had.

“Eunji, what is it?! I have a lot of this and that!”

“Show me the message!”

“Then you’re disqualified! No, this is a bit…”

Jeong Eun-ji, who kept turning her head, momentarily made eye contact with Han Seong-jin.

And she paused.

‘Oh, what should I do? Should I take him?’

“Excuse me for a moment~♥”

And while she was looking at him in embarrassment, Soo-yeon Choi came up from behind and deliberately pushed Eun-ji Jeong to the side with her butt.

“Uh?! Evil!”

Jeong Eun-ji, who was defenseless, momentarily lost her balance and fell to the side, and Choi Soo-yeon looked down at Jeong Eun-ji as if laughing, easily jumped over her, and called Han Seong-jin.

“Seong~Jin~Seon~Bae~♥Come with me~♥”

Then, he made his way through the third grade class to Han Seong-jin, who was at the back, and wrapped his arms around him in front of the entire student body.
