Could this be the feeling that characters in a comic feel when they realize the world they live in is a comic?
The common sense they believed in, all the things they recognized as reality, were actually intentionally forced by someone.
That caused a strange feeling beyond imagination.
Is this how Truman felt in the Truman Show?
Well, I wasn’t exactly Truman, I wasn’t the main character or anything.
“…I have to go to school.”
My head is dizzy, and my body is heavy.
I felt like I wanted to rest all day.
I knew now that if I said I was sick, no one would say anything about me skipping school once or twice.
But, realizing that this is a comic, I had to go to school today, even more so.
The first Monday after the midterm exams at the academy.
This morning, a transfer student comes to my class, 1st year A class.
Yoon Sejeong.
The main character of the yuri harem comic called ‘One Day, They Say I’m the Hidden Daughter of the Imperial Family.’
It’s easy to think that the setting is medieval because it’s an imperial family, but surprisingly, the setting is modern Korea, and the imperial family exists alongside the government.
I don’t know much about history. There was no mention of foreign countries in the comics in the first place.
As you can see from the title, Yoon Sejeong is the hidden daughter of the Korean imperial family.
An illegitimate child born after the current emperor’s brother married, from an affair with a commoner. And, a child who was not born with the golden eyes, a characteristic of the imperial family.
Therefore, she grew up as a commoner.
Until she transferred to the academy as an honor student, she didn’t know she was the daughter of the imperial family.
To the students of the academy, she was just a poor but smart kid. She seemed bright, but she was actually timid and not the type to get along well with other kids.
The thug girls who appear in the beginning are there to bully her.
They are extras who appear as a trigger to connect with the disciplinary committee heroine, and to create a “refreshing” scene when the main character is announced as the daughter of the imperial family.
I became one of those thug girls.
‘Is there a possibility of not bullying… no, there isn’t.’
Even if I skip school today, the group I hang out with will talk to her.
It’s a time when they’re especially bored after entering high school, so a timid kid who transfers at an ambiguous time is just one of their delicious toys.
That’s why I have to go and control it from the beginning.
If I don’t stop it properly, the people involved will be expelled and even go to jail.
It’s constantly harassing the body of the imperial family.
Even in the last scene they appear, they even push the main character off the roof, although it was a mistake.
Legally, they were no different from ordinary people, but the fact that the victim was from the imperial family alone changed the atmosphere in society, so the maximum sentence could be imposed, and the academy could easily impose expulsion to save face.
Then, you might think it would be okay if I wasn’t involved with them, but it wasn’t that easy.
Since I was already perceived as leading them, I could get caught up just for hanging out with them.
In the end, the best thing to do is to proactively intervene and prevent bullying. Not by setting up an angle like the disciplinary committee, but by standing on the same side.
Having decided on a policy, I wiped off the water with a towel and changed my clothes.
“…….”
…I was going to change, but.
For some reason, I was now interested in both my face and body reflected in the mirror.
‘…It’s amazing.’
Even when I saw it in the comic, I thought it would look good if I drew it with a little effort, but it was really pretty when it was realized in reality.
I didn’t feel lust, not to that extent.
I was clearly aware that it was my body in the first place.
However, it would be correct to say that it feels like the gaze of when I was a man was added to the gaze of ‘Kim Hayeon’.
Wouldn’t this feeling gradually decrease as time goes by?
But the problem was now.
I had no choice but to wear underwear, but the moment I saw the school uniform skirt, I felt some resistance.
I’ve been wearing skirts all the time while attending the academy.
It wasn’t even that short of a skirt. Rather, it was a skirt that was modified to be a little longer, but I was embarrassed to wear this skirt itself.
What should I do.
‘…Right, pants.’
There was one pair of pants that I had fitted just in case when I entered high school.
Given the nature of the academy where there are only women wearing skirts, it would attract attention, but what can I do.
I didn’t want to wear a skirt even if I died.
When I finished getting ready to go out, it was a close call that I might be late, so I ran hard.
“Are, you, at peace, today, too, Teacher! Huff, huff…”
‘Why is this greeting so long.’
I didn’t want to, but the greeting was set by school rules.
“…You came early today? Student Kim Hayeon. You always come at the last minute.”
The school’s main gate, which I entered past two sturdy security guards who looked like they were 2 meters tall.
There was the student guidance teacher who was always there every morning.
“Hmm? You’re wearing pants today?”
“Th, that, today, I somehow, felt like, wearing pants…”
Ah, I’m out of breath.
Did I run too hard?
Even though I arrived, there were still 10 minutes left.
“Hmm… I see. The pants look much neater than that strange skirt. Wear pants or a skirt that fits the regulations next time. Got it?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Answer once.”
“Yes!”
‘Wow, I’m drained…’
I’ve always been annoyed talking to the teacher, but with the memories of my past life, it’s really hard to adjust.
A strict female teacher with glasses is a presence that I don’t have good memories of, both in my past and present life.
I don’t know what they’re like as people, but it’s best to avoid them in the relationship between teacher and student.
‘Still, I got through it pretty well.’
If I had worn a skirt, I would have just spent more time talking unnecessarily, but it’s so comfortable to wear pants.
I’ll have to apply for extra pants later.
Thinking that, I entered the school, which was quite large.
From elementary school to middle school and high school.
‘Aria Academy’ was an old academy that could be called a prestigious school in this world, and its scale was one of the best in the country.
Although only girls could enter, only a small number were accepted, so the competition for grades was fierce and the tuition was expensive, so it was not a place anyone could enter.
Outside, Aria Academy was called the ‘social gathering place for young ladies’.
So, even though I barely got in, I’m considered to be quite a good student if you look at it from the outside.
The same goes for the friends I hung out with.
From the point of being able to afford the tuition, their families were already beyond the middle class.
‘Rebelling in a school like that…’
When I think about it, it’s funny, but on the other hand, it’s human nature to want to rebel and play in this kind of environment.
It’s just that it ends with dyeing hair, lengthening skirts, or going to karaoke instead of doing after-school clubs, so the teachers don’t do much other than nagging.
However, it’s not okay now.
The moment I cross a certain ‘line’, it becomes irreversible.
‘High school was that way…’
Following my memory, I saw a lot of students gathered for some reason.
“Are you at peace today too, President.”
“The weather is nice today too.”
“President. I tried a new perfume from abroad yesterday, and it smelled so good on you that I brought a bottle. I’d be happy if you could try it out.”
“Thank you. Then, I’ll accept your kindness and try it later, and write a review.”
“President!”
“President!”
‘…Ah.’
That long black hair and golden eyes.
The followers she carries around.
It was certain.
Lee Seorin, the student council president of Aria Academy and the third princess.
She was so popular that students formed their own group of followers, and she was passing by right in front of me.
Normally, I would have just thought, ‘As expected of the student council president,’ and passed by, but seeing those golden eyes directly, knowing the contents of the comic, sent shivers down my body.
The golden eyes, which mean that they are descendants of the imperial family, are known to the general public as just golden eyes, but I, who have read the entire comic, know.
People with those eyes each have abilities that are completely different from ordinary people.
In Lee Seorin’s case, she can see the emotions that people who encounter her feel towards her in color.
‘…It’s really ridiculous.’
It was no wonder that the imperial family joined hands with the country and did not disclose any of the abilities that the golden eyes had.
That’s why there was a considerable stir when the existence of the main character was revealed.
‘…Let’s just get buried and pass by.’
Rather than falling unnecessarily there, it was best to just get caught in the crowd and pass by.
If there are so many people, she won’t see me.
I thought so.
“…Oh my, President?”
“Where are you going?”
The murmuring was getting closer to me.
And, the unique golden eyes were getting closer to me.
‘…What?’
I looked around thinking she was heading towards someone else, but everyone except me was stepping back as if to make way.
In other words, the president was definitely coming towards me.
Without a doubt.
‘Why is she coming closer.’
If this happens, I have no choice but to greet her, even if it’s annoying.
“A, are you at peace, President?”
“…….”
I greeted her first, but it was completely ignored.
If she didn’t accept the greeting, she should have just gone back, but she kept getting closer and closer.
“What is it…”
“The President is getting closer to that person…”
“Kya, no way…”
What on earth was the last person thinking?
I wanted to ask right away, but I couldn’t at all right now.
The president’s face was right in front of me.
Her nose was also high, and my nose wasn’t low either, but it was definitely strange to be so close that I could feel her nose bridge.
‘She’s pretty…’
“Hmmm…”
My brown eyes are reflected in her golden eyes.
At the same time, I could see that I was making a stupid expression.
The president’s breathing, her fuzz, the scent of perfume, and the scent of shampoo mixed in from her hair.
All of this mixed together, and I just stood there blankly even when she grabbed my chin.
The president stared at me for a moment, then tilted her head and said.
“…You’re a strange person. May I ask your name?”
“…Kim Hayeon.”
“Kim Hayeon… Kim Hayeon… Ah, are you the one in 1st year A class?”
“You know?”
“I memorize all the students’ names.”
She let go of my chin and stepped back, then greeted me politely.
Although she already threw away politeness when she grabbed my chin.
“Could we perhaps meet during lunch break?”
‘Lunch break…’
…Should I meet her, or not.
I was interested in why she said that, but the question was whether I should get involved with this person.
“A lunch date with the President…!”
“I’m jealous…”
“I also want to be with the princess…”
…Hmm.
Come to think of it, there’s no reason for me to meet her, right?
I won’t get expelled for refusing a lunch appointment with the president, and if I get along with the main character, my relationship with her doesn’t matter.
After all, she’s also a member of the main character’s harem.
Rather, the problem was that the original work would be ruined if I got involved incorrectly here.
So, let’s refuse.
“I’m sorry, but.”
…It’s not like I’m doing this because I’m rebellious after hearing the kids around me talking.
“The president is not really my type.”
‘I don’t have much time Today’
Ah, my tongue slipped.
“””…….”””
When I said that, the noisy crowd all closed their mouths.
As if they hadn’t said anything.
“…I see.”
‘Uh…huh?’
The atmosphere around her changed.
“It’s the first time I’ve been rejected, so it hurts my heart.”
Her eyes were strange.
She said her heart hurt, but those weren’t the eyes of someone whose heart hurt at all.
Rather, she was more lively than before I refused, like a beast that had found its prey.
“No, that’s not it, it’s just that I don’t have time today, haha…”
“…….”
‘Stop looking.’
I corrected myself saying I didn’t have time, but if you stare at my face like you’re going to make a hole in it, it looks like you’re angry no matter who sees it.
You’re not angry, right?
Tell me you’re not.
Please.
“…Then, I’ll invite you again later when you have time. Hayeon-ssi.”
Saying that, she turned around and went inside the building.
“…Wow, what did I just see.”
“She turned down the president…”
“She said she was a first-year, right? Wow, that’s not easy…”
Then, the surroundings broke the silence and started moving again.
Only after I saw her enter the building to the end could I sigh and carefully enter the building.
But I couldn’t avoid the gazes from around me.
‘…I want to say that it’s not easy, you bastards.’
I wish I could have been reincarnated into an action comic at least, what kind of hardship is this?
I haven’t even met the main character yet, but I wanted to give up everything.
