I’ve heard stories of parents having their daughters have their first period parties.

Menarche, which marks the first menstruation every month, is a time to celebrate a daughter becoming a woman, and it also has a significant meaning for women.

But this is the first time I’ve heard of a wet dream party.

Besides, the party is a country.

I feel grateful that I didn’t do this in front of my other family members or my new sister, but I also wonder if this is something I should be thankful for.

I made a resolution as I watched my father, who kept giving me medicine with a sinister expression even during the short time I spent on the way home.

I will never forget what happened today, and when the time comes, I will definitely repay you.

I came home with my dads, looking forward to the future, and ate cake with everyone at home, and that’s how the day ended.

Even though I bought it from a famous restaurant, the cake was still delicious.

A refreshing morning, different from yesterday.

I got out of bed, got ready for school, and left the house.

Today, I started my commute to school holding hands with my older sister, who smiled brightly at me.

“Jaehoon, are you doing volunteer work at school starting today?”

“Yeah. I have to leave my bag in the classroom and go to the leadership office.”

“I heard that you just have to pick up the trash and mop the floor.”

“Really? Nothing much.”

“Yeah. That’s what they said.”

I knew about cleaning, but it didn’t seem like much of a deal since that was all I had to do.

When my sister and I arrived at school, we split up into our classes and I left my bag in the classroom and headed to the leadership office.

I opened the door and went in, and there was a teacher sitting at his desk working on his computer.

“Hello.”

“You’re early.”

The teacher who saw me finished what he was doing on the computer and picked up the wooden keyboard next to him.

Wouldn’t that be an essential item for the head of the leadership team?

“The kid you fought with will also be doing volunteer work at school starting today, so sit down and wait for a moment.”

“Yes.”

I was hoping that I would be able to wander around leisurely by myself.

From the beginning, I started to worry because things were going differently than I expected.

But I don’t think they would make the parties who fought clean up in the same place.

As I sat quietly waiting, the older brother I had fought with came in.

“Hello.”

“Oh, right, Junsu. Starting today, you’ll be doing volunteer work at school with Jaehoon. Just know that for now.”

“Yes.”

“Jaehoon, do you want to come see me?”

“Yes.”

The head teacher called me over and made me stand next to my brother.

“Junsu. You look like you’d be the type to play if I told you to go to the 3rd grade classroom. I’ll pick up the 2nd grade class 5 on the 1st and 2nd floors. ”

“Yes.”

“Jaehoon, you have to pick up from Class 6 on the 2nd floor to Class 3 on the 3rd floor.”

“Yes.”

“Bring tongs and a trash bag next to you and don’t slack off, or your school volunteer period will be extended if you get caught! ”

“”Yes.””

“You have to do morning roll call. After roll call, start right away and come take the test after first period.”

“”Yes.””

I went back into the classroom and sat down. The morning assembly ended with the homeroom teacher briefly calling the attendance. I picked up the tongs and envelopes I had left on the floor and headed to the third floor.

Since it’s the third floor, it’s a third grade classroom. Sister Sae-ah will be there too.

Since we were in different grades, we didn’t go to the same classroom. But when I thought that I could see my older sister taking classes, I thought that volunteering at school wasn’t a bad idea.

When I went up to the third floor, I could definitely feel the difference in the atmosphere, as it was less noisy than the first-grade classroom.

As the first-year students came up to the third floor, their attention was drawn to me, but when they saw the tongs and trash bags, they naturally dispersed their attention as if they realized that it was a school service.

As I looked around while picking up trash, I realized that there was only a two-year age difference, but the two-year age difference in middle school definitely seemed like a huge difference.

In general, the women had a more mature feel, and the men had grown taller and had lost much of their youthful look.

I walked towards Sae-ah’s sister’s classroom, picking up the trash that was naturally visible on the floor.

I glanced through the window of Sae-ah’s classroom and saw Sae-ah sitting at her desk studying.

As soon as she got to school, she started studying. As expected, Sae-ah was diligent.

My older sister, who was studying, suddenly raised her head and looked at me.

When our eyes met, Sae-ah got up from her seat and ran towards me with a bright smile.

“Jaehoon! Are you doing volunteer work at school?”

“Yeah. I was doing it because you told me to do it in the 3rd grade hallway. I started studying hard as soon as I got here.”

“If you want to go to college with Jaehoon, you have to work hard.”

“Okay. Work hard and see you later.”

I felt like I was disturbing your studies for no reason. I said a quick hello and headed somewhere else.

The bell rings to start class and third grade students enter the classroom.

I walked down the empty hallway, but I didn’t see any trash and the hallway was cleaner than I expected.

I went down to the second floor, took a quick look around my assigned area, and made sure it was clean. Then I sat down on the stairs to rest and headed to the leadership office.

The bell rang to signal the end of class, and the teacher, who had just finished teaching, came into the classroom holding a book.

“Did you pick it up cleanly?”

“Yes.”

“But why didn’t Junsu come? Didn’t you see him?”

“Yes. I don’t know because I just finished cleaning my side and came here right away.”

“Okay. Then you can rest a bit and mop the hallways during the second period.”

“Yes.”

As I was taking a break in my classroom, the bell rang to signal the start of the second period class, so I got up from my seat and headed straight to the second floor.

When I went into the bathroom to get a mop, Junsu hyung was there first, wetting the mop with water.

As I was pretending not to notice him and awkwardly going to get a mop, he started talking to me.

“Hey. It was Jaehoon, right?”

“Yes.”

“How about playing rock-paper-scissors and the loser gets to go upstairs alone?”

He made a rather interesting offer out of the blue, and if I just won, I thought he might be someone I like more than I thought.

If I could just win, I could rest after finishing on the third floor.

“Three plates or one plate?”

“It’s a single plate. Don’t say anything else?”

“Yes.”

“”Rock, paper, scissors.””

“Okay, work hard. I’m going to the first floor.”

Junsu, the little bastard, pats my shoulder with a smile and leaves the bathroom.

If you stretched out the last time, you shouldn’t be able to hit it.

I ended up doing everything up to the second floor.

I washed two mops and started mopping the second floor hallway, thinking that I could finish quickly by cleaning more surface area at a time.

He even regressed to being the third generation of a conglomerate, but he’s now mopping the school hallways. I’m starting to get dizzy.

It was all caused by that jerk who was being so obedient, and now he even lost at rock-paper-scissors.

Anyway, after finishing the second floor and the third floor, the second period ended without any time to rest.

I went back into the leadership room and this time it was Junsu who got there before me.

“Did you do well on the second floor?”

“Yes.”

As I was sitting quietly with my little brother, the head teacher came.

“Let’s stop here for today and continue like today for the rest of the week.”

“”Yes.””

“Then go to class and listen to the lecture and study hard.”

“”Yes.””

I said hello to the teacher and the little boy next to me, then left the leadership room and headed to my class.

***

Today is the second day of on-campus volunteer work.

Let’s start picking up trash during the first period. The long-awaited second period mop time has arrived.

I don’t know how many simulations I went through in my head.

I definitely threw the rock yesterday. If you have a head, you’ll know I’m going to throw the bundle today.

Then I guess I’ll just take out the scissors.

If I throw a rock, I’ll win or at least draw.

I never thought I’d go one step further than that. I didn’t seem that smart.

When I went into the bathroom on the second floor, Junsu was waiting for me again today.

“Call today too?”

“Call.”

“”Rock, paper, scissors.””

“Fuck.”

“Ugh. I’ll take care of you today too?”

For the first time in my life, I almost swore. What the hell is that guy?

“Brother.”

“Huh?”

“Why did you bring out the bundle?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Since I gave you the ink yesterday, shouldn’t I give you the ink or the steam?”

“Did you remember what I sent you yesterday? I just sent you something random?”

“…..”

“Anyway, I had a good time on the 2nd floor today~”

Junsu, a little boy, leaves the bathroom smiling and feeling good.

I guess I was over-rating this kid. I never thought he’d let me go without thinking about it.

In the end, I had to mop the second floor today too.

Judging from the fact that I’m getting tired after finishing my volunteer work and coming back to my class, this is harder work than I thought.

Even though I was trying to meditate, I started to feel sleepy because my body was tired, and before I knew it, it was lunchtime.

“Jaehoon. Are you really tired??”

“A little? Why?”

“You look really tired?”

“Is it because I cleaned up like I normally do?”

“Do you want to sleep on your knees for a bit until we go eat?”

“Wow. Sae-ah, unnie, I’m a lap pillow too~”

“New boyfriend must be nice~”

Sister Sae-ah is so confident and not embarrassed at all, with her sisters cheering from the side.

“No. Sister, don’t do that in front of our people. I’d be embarrassed.”

“Okay.”

Perhaps I spoke too firmly. Sister Saea looked a little disappointed.

As I was stroking Sae-ah’s hand to relieve her frustration, the line for the cafeteria started to disappear, and all of my sister’s friends got up and headed to the cafeteria.

After receiving the food on my plate and sitting down to eat, a group of men sit at the table next to me.

A young cub was seen in the group.

At our quiet table, we could hear the noisy conversation at the table next door.

“The person who loses rock-paper-scissors gets to scoop up water?”

“”Call.””

I wondered why he made such a sudden suggestion to me, but it turns out that was his daily routine.

I was praying fervently for Junsu to win, and heaven helped, Junsu really did win.

Yeah, that kid deserves some punishment.

While I was having fun watching Junsu’s little brother Jin, I made eye contact with Junsu, who lost at rock-paper-scissors.

“Hey. Jaehoon. Do you want to play rock-paper-scissors to fetch water with me?”

“Pfft! I saw it all. Why me?”

“If I lose, I’ll remember all the kids who eat your food. If you lose, I’ll remember our kids’ food too. What do you think?”

All eyes at that table and our table were focused on me.

Yeah. I should let my sisters have a drink of water too.

“Single plate?”

“Of course.”

I rolled my head. The kid threw the ink the first time, and the second time a bundle. He just threw the ink.

Then that thoughtless kid is either a fool or a thief.

At least we can start off safely without any problems.

“”Rock, paper, scissors.””

“Mr.”

“Poohahaha.”

“Why scissors this time? Thinking nothing this time?”

“Why did you bring out the bundle earlier? You remembered that and brought out the scissors, right?”

“…..”

Sae-ah and her older sisters said they would help, but they couldn’t pass the responsibility on to me.

I quietly headed to the water purifier and brought out water for 12 people in three portions.

I promised myself for tomorrow.
