Part: Jeans
What is the ‘duckling’ phenomenon?
It's the definition I use to describe when I'm being followed by a child. It's stupid, annoying, and extremely irritating. Ducklings tend to follow something, and they swim along like they're tied to their mother in the pool.
It's funny to look at, but then again! In the end, I became another duckling.
I'll tell you about the first time. It was the second night at the beach. I should be watching a show in front of the hotel's living room, but I got up to use the bathroom. The two people walking by in the first year caught my attention.
Praewa and the duckling, whose name is Luk Nai. You can tell right away that it's not against the rules of the boss. They're walking in front of the hotel with money like that.
"Phi Jeans,"
A voice called out as I was walking, keeping my distance from the two people. Chompoo was the new faculty star. Her face was as serious as her tone.
"I already told you who bought the liquor. Why couldn't you catch which group it was?"
"Because I really found the bottle in the trash can. What do you want me to do?"
I lied pitifully. I heard that Sister Sa said that she would punish the whole class to be ashamed as an example.
"Then why don't you search each child's room? I believe that there must be cigarettes or something left as evidence. I saw it at the convenience store.”
"Why did you come out of the room?"
"Phi Jeans... "
"Didn't you hear the announcement that freshmen must stay in the room?"
“…”
“I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything. You… should do the same,”
I said calmly before walking past the person who was pointing the finger like a kid. The last time I complained to a teacher about a friend was probably in first grade. After that, anyone could do whatever they wanted, except for making clay for their friends to eat. That’s why I’m warning people who are being tricked.
Huh? Or should I sue for everything? Even though I am known as a good person in society.
While I was thinking happily, I followed them until I saw the two of them secretly ordering pizza. I could only shake my head at their ignorance.

The second time Nai opened, she came to buy some snacks as if she was going to stock up on them in the bomb shelter. I didn't intend to follow her. I really didn't intend to. I was just hungry so I stopped by the mall to get dinner.
I happened to see her after I had finished eating so I took a walk to digest my food. Now that I didn't know what to look at, she unconsciously became my guide.
Hmm, eating only snacks is why the fat accumulates in her cheeks and makes them puffy.
“Heh!”
I chuckled to myself. It’s funny. Right now, a person like me is following a nosy freshman pointing at the intrusive child, while she is walking into the children’s play area and putting the forest animal into the cart.
Oh, come to think of it, I wanted to buy it too, if it weren't for the embarrassment of paying at the checkout.
When the little one finished shopping and walked in to talk to Teacher Panwad, the sentence that popped into my mind was,
