A dwarf in past life, but an artistic genius in this life

In front of Korea Arts High School.

At the school gate, students taking exams were lined up and entering the school.

Unlike them who were very tense, Jeong-hwan's face was filled with composure.

That was understandable. I ate a lot of chocolate cake.

'I wonder if that old man is okay?'

Jeong-hwan glanced at the cafe he had just left.

It was because I felt bad about leaving the cafe without even saying goodbye to Manager Yeom Seok-bong.

However, Yeom Seok-bong had promised from the beginning that he would wait until he had finished eating the cake, and he never came back.

Besides, there wasn't much time left until I had to enter the testing room, so I couldn't help it.

The red signal turned green.

As Jeong-hwan was crossing the street, someone spoke to him.

"Did you even listen to what I said earlier?"

It was Suyeon.

She was pouting as if she didn't like something.

"I didn't hear you properly. I can't see anything else when I'm eating."

Is this it, a fart?

Suyeon was so shocked that her nose was stuffy.

You said you didn't hear me when I spoke to you?

"Did you really starve to death in your past life? Are you even greedy?"

"... ... ."

Jeong-hwan felt a sting.

How did you know I starved to death in my past life?

At that time, students who were passing by often covered their noses and whispered.

"The cart smells terrible. It must have been loaded with poop."

"Shouldn't I help you?"

"Hey, I have to go take a test. Do you want to step in poop? Let's just go."

Jeong-hwan turned his head in the direction the students had come from.

As they said, an old man with a shabby appearance was wrestling with a cart full of junk at the entrance to the crossing.

"Are you really going to keep ignoring me?"

Jeong-hwan responded with actions.

He turned around and walked towards the cart, leaving Sooyeon behind.

'Ugh.'

As the students said, a terrible stench was coming from the cart that made them frown.

The cart was loaded with everything from small refrigerators to all sorts of scrap paper and scrap metal, as well as general trash mixed with spoiled food. It seemed like the junk collector had collected all the trash, including the trash that people had illegally dumped.

'The smell is so bad that people don't even dare to help.'

Jeong-hwan bent his knees.

The wheel, unable to support the weight of the cart, was completely flat and was sitting on the ground.

Moreover, even the wheels, which were supposed to remain circular, were bent.

No matter how hard the grandfather tried, the cart would remain in place.

Jeong-hwan looked at the cars lined up on the road.
