Springcision

Chapter 4

Yeolli POV

I slowly put all the books on the table until the surface of the table is clear of any objects. I walked out of the classroom. I passed each class and down the stairs. I passed several extracurricular rooms such as the dance room and art room. I saw a girl who was standing in front of the radio room. I'm sure it was Eriya. I walked over to her. I asked about what she was doing here. She replied that she wanted to join the extracurricular as a school radio announcer. Somehow, this is the first time she's spoken softly to me. I read the terms, then pulled her hand into the radio room. She just fell silent and followed. I take out a prerequisite form and try to reach a pen from the corner of the table. I handed her the paper and a pen. She smiled seeing what I was doing. It's weird, isn't it? How can people who used to speak in a sarcastic tone to me now speak softly and also with that smile? She filled out the form and put it in the box next to the form. She even thanked me. I wonder if she has multiple personalities? We walked out of school together. Then she suddenly said, "You're not that bad." then I said, "what do you think about me? Have you been thinking that I'm a bad boy all this time?" Eriya replied, "Actually, I don't have a big problem with you, it's just that I really hate it when you've met Baek. Fyi, you guys are very noisy. That's all." now I understand, but I don't feel that noisy. We are now at the gate. We part just like that, she to her house and me to my house.

Since that afternoon, Yeollie and Eriya have slowly gotten close.

Eriya POV

I remember that voice, a voice that suddenly spoke to my ears. That happened a year ago. I think I know who the owner of that voice is, even from the first-day school. His voice is very unique, heavy enough for the voice of a boy. His voice is deep but calming. Even though the owner of the voice is very weird, talking suddenly to a stranger like me. I know that the owner of the voice is my classmate, Park Yeolli. He's a friendly and famous kid, which girl doesn't know him? In fact, he's also famous among other school girls. He's not arrogant, his just overconfidence makes him look very in love with himself. Maybe I look quiet and indifferent, but actually I pay attention to what's around me, including Baek. People even called them lovers. I never imagined that today I can talk casually with him. He's not as noisy as I saw when he was with Baek. He can even change my view of him just in a few minutes. That's crazy, right?

That morning, Yeolli woke up to a very loud banging on the door. it sounds came from his sister. Yeolli who heard that immediately tried to sit up and scowl. He stretched all of his limbs. As usual, he would stand in front of the mirror and look at his face with a smile. He walked out of the bedroom and saw the busyness of his family. Eomma who was preparing breakfast, her sister who was busy ironing her clothes, Appa who diligently watered the plants every morning, and Yeolli who just woke up and was heading to the bathroom. He started by brushing his teeth and washing his face then continued with a shower. He went out of the bathroom then into his bedroom. Today the school uniform is a white shirt with a navy blazer, a checkered tie, and cream trousers. Now he was looking at his reflection through the mirror, paying attention to every detail to make sure nothing was overlooked. Yeolli uses sunscreen all over his face and also wears lip balm. He left the bedroom and immediately ate the food there and hurried away.

On the way, he entered GS25 and looked for banana uyu (banana milk) and samgak kimbap (it's like onigiri) because he planned not to eat at the cafeteria today. Yeolli always walked when he went to school. The distance between his house and school is not that far. It only takes 15 minutes on foot to get to school. Today the main road that leads to the school is filled with cherry blossom. Suddenly, he remembered the incident one year ago. He stopped exactly where the girl was crouched looking at the cherry blossom a year ago. He felt that girl was Eriya. He felt disgusted when he imagined what he had said a year ago. He entered the school gate and saw Eriya walking in front of him. He ran so he could adjust his position next to Eriya.

Baek who saw the two of them walking together and looked familiar became confused. What is going on? It's only been a day since I didn't come home with him but they become closest to each other. Baek walked over to them and said, "Did I miss something here? What's wrong with two of you? Ya! Eriyaa! You must like Yeolli right?" it surprised her, and replied with, "it's none of your business."

"it's still morning and someone is already angry with me. Alright.. by the way, Yeolli-ya don't forget we'll practice during time break. We have to take advantage of the time because the time is near. We have to practice to get more fans, Hahaha." laughter Baek.
