Chapter 10: Extras are guided by the leader from the morning.

When I opened my eyes, what I heard was the loud crying of a baby.

It was so loud, surely even the crying person would be annoyed by the noise, but the crying didn’t stop.

‘Where is this crying coming from?’

There was no one living with me, who was alone.

And, there was no one who would visit this place except for the delivery man.

That was my life.

The place where the sound could be coming from would be the house next door, the house below, or the house above.

I couldn’t think of moving because I was dazed, but the crying didn’t think of stopping.

If you brought a baby home, shouldn’t you think about soothing it?

I got up in annoyance to check where the sound was coming from.

Then, I felt strange.

‘This… is this the sound I’m making?’

The moment I realized it, I could feel my throat hurting.

I could feel tears welling up in my eyes.

I tried to wipe them away, but my hands wouldn’t move properly.

-It’s a girl. Congratulations.

-Siyeon-ah… it’s mom…

That was the day I was first born into this world.

Beep beep beep.

The sound of the alarm clock announcing the morning rings in the room.

I didn’t set an alarm originally, but I decided to set an alarm from today because I thought I entered the school at a close call yesterday.

The original default alarm was something more boisterous, but I changed it to something simple because I felt like I was going crazy every time I heard it.

Was it an alarm that went ‘bba bba bba~’?

I don’t remember the lyrics well after that, but just listening to it repeatedly made me feel like a person’s life was becoming devastated.

I don’t want to wake up, but would I wake up listening to that sound?

“Haaam…”

I was very tired.

I definitely slept on time after eating dinner and playing moderately yesterday, but the sleepiness was pressing down on my eyelids heavily.

As if telling me not to go, the blanket also wrapped around my body and didn’t let go.

It’s a normal person’s daily life to wake up at the time they have to wake up, but why do I have to wake up from a comfortable feeling?

Is it right to give up the happiness of now for the greater happiness that will come in the future?

If the future that comes is not as happy as I think, who will guarantee it?

‘…Let’s just wash up.’

All kinds of thoughts were flooding in as I tried to wake up.

I should have already passed puberty, but I don’t know how my head makes such nonsense.

Woof woof.

“Sis, are you awake?”

In the bathroom downstairs, my sister was drying her wet hair with a towel around her.

It must be cold like that.

The daily temperature range is large, so the morning was still chilly.

“Siyeon-ah.”

“Huh? What suddenly.”

“I’ll dry it for you. Turn around.”

It’s more comfortable and faster for a woman to have someone dry it from behind, let alone a man.

I had the experience of struggling to dry my hair on time yesterday morning, so for some reason, I wanted to dry it today.

“…Then, I’ll gratefully accept.”

“Yeah yeah.”

Whirr.

-Oppa, dry my hair.

-Hair? You know I’m not good with my hands.

-Still!

I dry it slowly with the weakest setting as much as possible.

I remember drying my sister’s hair often when I was in the orphanage.

Of course, at first, it was forced on me, but after that, I often dried it.

How can I not do it when I see her happy just because I dried her hair?

“Okay, done.”

“Sis, you’re surprisingly good at drying hair? Where did you learn?”

“…I just did it with the feeling of drying my own hair?”

“Really? I’ll make toast outside, so eat it later.”

I was sweating for a moment.

Perhaps people who were close to me felt something different.

I made a resolution to be careful not to say anything strange and entered the bathroom.

‘…When will I get used to it?’

Every time I see my appearance in the mirror, a strange sense of incongruity remains.

It’s me, but it feels like it’s not me.

The main character in the comic I saw yesterday adapted quickly in one episode, but when will I get used to it?

After washing my body lightly, I go to my room and groom myself moderately.

I was so out of it yesterday that I couldn’t even think of applying lotion, but this time I apply the basic things.

My skin is quite sensitive, so it gets messed up if I neglect it a little.

Then, I change into my school uniform.

I wear the pants, and as my sister said yesterday, I prepare the skirt in advance.

I can put it in a paper bag in the living room.

I haven’t touched the bag since I got home from school yesterday, so I take it as it is.

My sister was already sitting at the table and eating toast.

“Can I put it in a paper bag?”

“Yes.”

After putting down the skirt, I also sat down to eat toast.

‘Let’s see, the jam…’

“Here.”

When I turned my head to look for the jam, my sister handed me the glass jar containing the jam as if she knew.

It was really comfortable because she knew what I wanted.

After eating the toast with jam, I take my bag and go out.

“Then I’ll go first.”

“Have a good day~”

I’m leaving earlier than my sister today.

It was worth setting the alarm.

When I got off the bus and headed to the entrance, there was more time than yesterday.

There were not many people as much, so the playground was very quiet.

Someone was standing at the entrance like yesterday, but it was different from yesterday.

‘…It’s Baek Ahra.’

It was not the teacher I saw yesterday, but the disciplinary committee president who was guarding the front.

Next to her was a bracelet that was slightly different from Baek Ahra’s, but perhaps it was the same disciplinary committee member.

Is the disciplinary committee coming out in the morning from now on?

“Wait a minute.”

I tried to pass by her, but I was caught as expected.

It’s hard to get away with it when it’s quiet like this, let alone when someone is next to me.

“What is it, Disciplinary Committee President?”

The answer came out more bluntly than I thought.

I wasn’t feeling particularly good, but I wasn’t feeling particularly bad either.

Anyway, she’s doing her job, and I don’t have anything to be caught right now.

Perhaps she was angry at my answer, Baek Ahra came a little closer to me.

“Can you straighten your tie? Your tie is turned to the side.”

Unlike yesterday, Baek Ahra, who spoke with honorifics in disciplinary committee president mode, told me to look down, and I saw that my tie was definitely turned.

It was okay yesterday, but it seems that I tied it too loosely today.

“Ahem.”

After coughing in embarrassment, I tied my tie again, but Baek Ahra grabbed my tie.

“Even if you tie it again like that, it’s the same. I’ll tie it for you, so watch carefully and follow it later.”

She whispered that in my ear, and then started to touch my tie.

I tried to refuse.

But, before I could, Baek Ahra tied my tie neatly.

‘This… is a little embarrassing.’

It wasn’t as much as the president grabbing my chin in that crowd yesterday, but there were still people passing by, and the disciplinary committee member nearby was already glancing at us.

You should be doing disciplinary committee activities, why are you looking here?

If you think about it that way, the fact that the disciplinary committee president is tying a student’s tie right now was a problem, so it wasn’t like I could blame the disciplinary committee member.

“Uh, Disciplinary Committee President?”

“Why?”

“I can tie it myself…”

“It’ll be over soon, so just bear with it. If a high school student can’t tie a tie, what will the kids below think?”

‘That’s… true, but.’

“This is also part of the disciplinary activities, so you have to follow it diligently, delinquent student?”

“Huh.”

Is she doing this because I answered a little bluntly?

“…I’ll tell Yoon Sejeong everything.”

“You also touched my hair yesterday.”

“Yesterday, someone was falsely accusing me, so I just gave a corresponding response?”

“…That, that’s true. No. Still, when I think about being tormented by dreams last night…”

“What are you talking about.”

She suddenly stopped talking and fell into her own soliloquy.

What on earth is she talking about?

Isn’t last night when I met Sejeong?

I was going to ask what she meant, but she dropped her body, which was close, as if she had already tied her tie.

“Okay, it’s done. Then, have a peaceful day today.”

“…Yes, I hope the Disciplinary Committee President has a peaceful day today too.”

I didn’t want to greet her, but I still greeted her.

It was me who would be tired if I was caught again here.

I’ll get you later.

When I went up to the classroom, the other two hadn’t arrived yet, and only Sejeong was sitting in her seat.

“Good morning.”

“Ah, Hayeon-ah. Good morning.”

“Were you reading a book?”

In front of Sejeong was a book that looked thick.

It was thicker than a textbook, and it looked like it would kill someone if you hit them with it.

How can you read that?

“No, I was looking for an answer sheet for a problem that I couldn’t solve.”

‘That’s an answer sheet?’

The only answer sheet I know is a thin one that is inserted.

But that was the equivalent of a whole book.

I was curious, so I looked at what was written, and it was written like a mathematical formula.

And, there was no Korean at all.

‘It’s all English…’

From sentences to formulas, everything was written in English, so I couldn’t read it at all.

What’s the point of knowing a, b, c, d?

When they are combined, they are born into something that I can’t understand at all.

“Amazing.”

“R, really? I’m suddenly embarrassed to hear praise…”

Certainly, the characters all had specs that were a little off.

In the case of the main character, she was smart, and Baek Ahra, who I just saw, was good at sports.

I heard that she went around all the sports clubs in middle school and settled in the kendo club.

She made a name for herself as an ace in the kendo club, and I think she won a gold medal at the national competition.

The president… was just the president.

She was quite good at studying, but not as much as the main character.

Her athletic ability was good, but not as much as Baek Ahra.

If I had to say, she has good people skills?

‘I’m not in a position to say that my studies are at the bottom.’

I wonder if I’ll be good at sports if I do it, but it was meaningless because I didn’t want to do it.

“Ah, Hayeon-ah. I had a very strange thing yesterday?”

“Really? What is it?”

‘I met my childhood friend! Something like that?’

“Yesterday, I went into the room for the first time, and the roommate is…”

After that, as I expected, it flowed into the story of meeting her childhood friend, Baek Ahra.

“So, I want to introduce the two of you later, how about lunch break?”

“…Huh?”

I didn’t expect the last word at all.
