“I really don’t feel anything anymore.”

I tapped my casted leg on the floor.

“Jina! I told you not to do that.”

Se-ah Lee was startled and grabbed me.

“No, I really think everything is better… .”

Lee So-yoon, sitting next to me, sighed.

“Ugh. You decided to go to the hospital today. What’s so urgent?”

Ise-ah’s pounding was also heard one after another.

“No need to add more. Stay still.”

Tsk. Having whetted my appetite, I obediently sat down.

They say they treat me like a child.

In the case of Hong Yeon-seo, perhaps because she herself had often been injured, she treated me most calmly.

The last period of the day, the homeroom teacher’s English class, started immediately after the end.

“You all worked hard to attend class today~ We only have to make it through this week before it’s another holiday, so let’s work hard until then.“

“Yes~”

After hearing the teacher’s words, I turned the pages of the calendar in my head.

In two weeks… aha.

A four-day holiday was waiting for us as it was a weekend that included Memorial Day and discretionary holidays.

“And! You should also think about having mock exams in June before the holidays, right? There are final exams in June, so I should continue studying hard?”

“Ugh~”

It was the holidays and all, but the students in the class were groaning at the long line of exam schedules.

Are you studying for a test? .

I glanced at my surroundings.

They will come to my house again… … ?

I guess I should at least buy some refreshments at home.

“But it’s vacation after final exams, right? Let’s suffer for just one month!”

Summer Vacation… .

It seems like only yesterday that the entrance ceremony took place, but time is already running unstoppably toward the halfway point of first-year school life.

Even though only two months have passed since admission, it seems like a lot has happened.

Rather than going to and leaving school every day, I was quite busy for one reason or another.

Although I thought it would be like this to some extent since I was swept up in the world of romantic comedies.

While I was thinking about random things, the ceremony ended without any further message.

“Then, work hard in club activities today as well. Disband!”

“See you tomorrow. Teacher~”

As soon as the bell ceremony was over, the children in the class jumped out of their seats as if they had been waiting.

I also packed my bags and prepared to leave the class.

“Bye~ Have a nice trip to the hospital!”

Hong Yeon-seo was the first to wave goodbye.

“Yes. You too, practice hard. I heard there is a game on Sunday?”

“Oh! Did you remember? Heehee.”

That’s about it… .

It seems like he’s been practicing hard these days because of that.

After Hong Yeon-seo left the class with a smile.

Lee Se-ah and Lee So-yoon also left for their respective club activities, and Seong Yu-rin approached.

“Let’s go.“

“Uh.”

However, now I can walk normally with just a cast foot without crutches or support.

… … If I say that, Seong Yu-rin will glare again, right?

Actually, I’m already doing that at home.

* * *

Seong Yu-rin and I said goodbye to each other on the way to the old building and parted ways.

After that, I walked around with cumbersome crutches on my arms.

It was uncomfortable because the height wasn’t right, but it didn’t hurt at all, as if everything was better.

I felt good thinking that at this level I would be able to remove the cast and stand on stage safely on the festival day.

As expected, my body was a very high-performing body.

As I approached the old building, I looked around and pretended to limp with crutches.

… The manager has been coming to meet me since Monday.

I feel very grateful and beautiful, but at the same time, I feel burdened… .

Considering the sincerity with which he came to meet me, I feel like I should at least act like this again.

As I turned the corner, I saw the manager standing in front of the old building, looking towards me.

The manager, who saw me and rushed over, took the crutches from me and dug into his arms for support.

“Hello. Junior?”

The manager’s voice was heard from a short distance away.

“Yes. Thank you again today. … But the cast will be removed starting tomorrow, so you can stay inside.”

“You’re still in this much pain, are you okay?”

I said, tapping my leg.

“It doesn’t hurt that much anymore.”

Nevertheless, the manager gave me a suspicious look.

… If I had known it would be like this, would I have acted for no reason?

I guess I fell for my own tricks.

It was Ja-seung-ja-bak.

* * *

“Ta-da.”

“Oh!”

When I entered the club room, Yoo Seol was clapping.

When I looked in front, the deputy manager was holding a box in his hand.

Looks like we’ve finally arrived.

“Hello.”

“Are you here? You too, check this out.”

As we sat down, as expected, the box the vice-president was holding turned out to be a box containing the goods we had made.

“Is it pretty?”

I looked at the goods in the box I was given.

The finish of the acrylic goods is good, and the illustrations are in good color.

It was nice to see that the inside of the box was also designed quite luxuriously.

“Look at the poster over there. I hung it on the wall.”

When I looked in the direction pointed by senior Seongho, I saw a new, stylish poster with an illustration of me and Yoo Seol on display next to the goods lined up on the wall.

“I am very proud.”

Yuseol looked at the goods with misty eyes.

It must be a special feeling, because that’s what it means to be a first work.

“This will be displayed in our club room, and the company will send the remaining items for sale to the school tomorrow.”

“To school?”

Even though it’s not a very large box, it’s probably not a small quantity of 100 pieces.

Senior Seongho, who noticed my concern, smiled and continued.

“Uh. don’t worry. My brother helps me.”

I heard that Seongho’s older brother drives a truck.

Sometimes, I think he’s a good older brother who readily helps me when I ask him for help in times like this.

Me again. I thought they said to carry 20 each.

“Then, you can put your signature in the box tomorrow during club time.”

“Yes.”

We turned our attention to the nightstand on the wall of the club.

There was an autograph that I worked hard on yesterday.

“Guys! Look at this.“

Senior Jooyong urgently called us.

When we looked away from the nightstand and expressed our doubts, he gestured for us to look at the laptop.

A sheet document was displayed on the screen.

“This is… Is this a list of mail order applicants?”

“That’s right. But look at the numbers above.”

My gaze went up to the top of the sheet.

“Wow. Five hundred people?”

Yoo Seol was impressed when he saw the same number as me.

“If there are five hundred people… It’s over 10 million won.”

“What… If you subtract all investment costs and just look at the sales amount, that’s true.”

Since they decided to sell the goods box and poster together, it was surprising that even though it was a fairly expensive product, it quickly reached 500 people.

Somehow, it feels like the scale has grown… .

“The 500 people I had set as a limit just in case were all taken up in an instant. I didn’t know it would be this popular.”

I suddenly had a question.

“If the amount exchanged like this is large, will there be any problems?”

We were students, and we were wondering if we needed to get permission to sell something like this.

“It’s okay. Even though it may not be revealed externally, on paper anyway, we are carrying out activities in the name of the school. There is no need to report separately. However, because it is a club activity, not all of the proceeds come back to us.”

Umm. After all, there is a reason why experienced workers are used.

Even Jooyong, a senior who didn’t seem very capable, was somewhat trustworthy, perhaps because he had been involved in club activities for some time.

It used to be like that when I used my activity fee card like a credit card.

“There will be a lot of work tomorrow.”

“Um.”

Senior Jooyong nodded.

Senior Seongho also smiled with satisfaction and spoke to me as if he remembered something.

“Jinah Lee. Please contact me when the cast comes off today. I’ll also bring cosplay costumes tomorrow. I should try it on before the competition.”

“Yes. I understand.”

It’s been two weeks since I last wore it.

Of course… The clothes may not have changed or anything, but I need to do a final inspection.

“Hehe. Now that I’ve received the real thing, it really feels real.”

The manager crossed his arms in front of the illustrated poster.

“Let’s all do our best and successfully complete the first half of the year!”

“Wow~”

The good-natured Yoo Seol agreed.

We, who were sitting quietly, glanced at each other and responded with applause.

“Hohohoho!”

It was the manager with a grin on his lips.

* * *

“Student, you’re amazing. It healed without a trace.”

” Right? As expected.”

The doctor’s eyes widened and he kept fiddling with my leg.

Well, since the young female doctor said that, I feel a little… … .

Huh! Anyway, once the feeling that my leg was fine turned out to be true, I was freed from the horrible cast.

It may seem like a few days have passed, but anyone who has tried it will know.

I have to go home and wash my hands thoroughly. really… .

“Is this the wound you saw back then? This isn’t a wound that heals this quickly… .”

The doctor showed me a picture with no meaning and I was excited, but what would I know just by looking at it?

I just nodded, was declared fully recovered, and left the hospital room.

Anyway, now everything is ready.

Now the day of decisive battle is just ahead.

… … No, I’m not ready.

You have to put it in the box. really.
