Idol’s Childhood Friend

32 – Who confessed first?

I thought it was an entertainment show, but I never thought it was a real documentary.

We briefly go to the classroom next to where filming is taking place and the production crew explains how the day goes on……

“… What’s this?”

Looking at the given timetable, I kept blinking.

1St period: Mathematics

2Nd period: English

3Rd period: Physical Education

Lunch time

4Th period: Music

5Th period & 6th period: Independent activity

Why is it serious? Doesn’t this mean you’ll have to repeat the CSAT in high school?

“… “This is unexpected humanism.”

Chaewon muttered with a blank expression, probably not expecting that she would also reflect on those times like this. Then, suddenly, he looked at my face and said……

“I didn’t drink coffee.”

Roughly speaking, it meant, “What should I do if I doze off from the first period?”

When Chaewon and I were looking at her face with blank expressions, the PD clapped his hands and continued her progress.

“Today, we will recreate the middle school days of the two of you, and accordingly, you will spend your school life strictly observing class and recess times.”

“Are we taking classes together with our middle school friends?”

“Yes. And as previously announced, you will be directly teaching math and music, which you both said you were confident in.”

Producer nods his head to Chaewon’s question.

A week before filming, he was asked what subjects he was good at, and he answered that he was at least good at math.

I should have noticed when they handed me a textbook and told me to think about it since I could do math during my schedule.

“Hey, you’re confident in math. “Are you that good at math?”

A helpless person looking at me with a resentful expression.

I knew very well that Han Chae-won was the kind of person who was so freaked out about math that she would take the class, so I secretly felt sorry for her.

But apart from that.

“I never thought it would end up like this for me.”

“Take responsibility.”

“That’s right, I’m going to do the math, so it’s my responsibility…” ….”

“Still, I have to be an example to the growing sprouts, but what will my friends think if I doze off even a little during math class… !!”

Oh, was that it?

But that’s simply weak will…… , So I swallowed my words and put a smile on my face.

“Don’t worry. “Middle school math is nothing special.”

“… “I failed in the second semester of my second year of middle school, to be exact?”

“Hey. Still, I somehow managed to get a half-throat score instead of a half-point———.”

“… Yay! What if I say that out loud… !!”

“Ah.”

That’s why you whispered in my ear… ?

“Kang Yu-min….”

It’s not that he wants to kill you at all, but he has burning eyes that just want to crush exactly half of it.

Chaewon’s facial expression is as she clenches her molars and looks at the camera in a hurry to find a way to survive, smiling awkwardly.

“Everyone, studying is not everything in life. “This is an era where you can make use of what you are good at and let your talent bloom.”

“… “Ha, please turn off the camera for a moment.”

Hmm. I guess this wasn’t any consolation.

+++

“… That’s how I got to talk about math with you today.”

1St period math.

I stand alone at the teacher’s table and look at my middle school friends with an awkward smile.

As expected from my alma mater, where math was considered the most difficult in the area, the looks in my middle school friends’ eyes were quite combative.

Can you teach me? It was exactly that kind of look in my eyes, and I was completely shocked.

What kind of fight are you fighting, teachers?

“I have a question. Do you have a friend here who knows how to do high school math?”

Friends raising their hands in response to questions. At first glance, it was more than a majority.

“How far did you get in high school math? Math I? Math II?”

Most of those who raised their hands talked loudly and said that going that far is the norm these days……

“I even finished calculus!!”

“I did geometry.”

“I did everything just in case.”

Approximately 10 friends answered that they had completed not only the common subjects of the CSAT but also the elective subjects of calculus, probability and statistics, and geometry.

“… “I was going to teach you about simultaneous equations today.”

What kind of fight are you fighting, teachers?

I look respectfully at my homeroom teacher, who nods his head in understanding behind me, and think about what I can do.

Even if you do middle school math the way you like it, 45 minutes will be endlessly boring, and if this happens, there will be no room for it to be broadcast naturally.

Then……

“We will make a total of 10 groups with 4 people per group. And if the four of us come up with a problem for me, I will solve the problem on the blackboard and talk about it together. How is it?”

The best choice I could have made.

I turned my eyes around to see what the production team had noticed in a situation that was not at all like a middle school, and the producer and writer exchanged a few words and gave the OK sign.

“Will it take 10 minutes in total?”

“Give me 15 minutes!! Geometry problems are difficult to create… !!”

So why are you giving me a geometry problem, my friend?

“I’m sorry, but I’m not confident in solving the geometry, so if you’d rather give it to me, please give it to Haktong and Mijeok. I forgot how to do it….”

“Senior, you went to Seohyeon High School (Science High School)!!”

“… “Yeah, that’s true, but it’s been three years since I gave up on Kiha.”

“But why did you go to the economics department after attending Seohyun High School? “Isn’t it right to go to engineering or medicine?”

I don’t think these guys are middle school students.

Life Live I didn’t know that I would be conducting a Q&A about college entrance exams with second year middle school students, and I don’t really want to do it, so I quickly divide them into groups and give them time to come up with problems.

Of course, all 10 people who said they knew how to solve the CSAT failed.

… What, only 10 minutes have passed? If I had known this would happen, I would have given myself 20 minutes to create a problem.

“… Talking about math makes me dizzy. “I think I have a fever?”

“I don’t hate math, but I think I will start hating it from today.”

Me and Chaewon were crouched on the table muttering that something was wrong, and 15 minutes passed quickly.

“Then let’s solve the first problem first?”

Take the ten pieces of paper with the problems written on them, pick up the chalk, and start solving them one by one.

Fortunately, there is still some respect for seniors and universal love for humanity, and most of them passed the middle school math course as a problem.

“hahahaha. I don’t know which team it is, but it’s clear, right? “This isn’t something you gave as homework at the academy, is it?”

In other words, the rest was at the level of high school math or college entrance exam.

“You’re paying attention.”

“I didn’t solve it because it was annoying. How did you know?”

Have you seen these cute middle school students?

It takes about 2 minutes to solve and explain middle school problems, but for math and calculus, if you explain the calculation and solution process, it took about 5 minutes at the fastest, so it ended up taking well over 45 minutes.

At the sound of the bell signaling recess, the children gathered towards Chaewon, and suddenly I saw my face holding a piece of chalk through the mirror.

The image of me enthusiastically solving high school math as an academy homework in front of middle school students while wearing my middle school uniform was overlapped.

… Is this something I only heard about?

+++

“This time, we will have a Q&A with the two seniors in English.”

Both now and then, the break time passed in an instant.

As soon as the bell rang, the homeroom teacher stood at her table and immediately began teaching in English, and all the students could be seen answering in English.

… When did this class come about?

“Then, as I said, I will ask questions in order, starting from number 40.”

1 Minute per person is 40 minutes. In addition, they are all passionate fans who know Ever well enough to know me well, as I am Chaewon’s childhood friend.

I guess it will end with just a reaction. Very nice.

I looked at friend number 40 with a grin, thinking that I was getting repayment here for the pain I suffered in math class.

“Please tell me what you think is the prettiest part of Chaewon.”

I was dumbfounded for about 3 seconds when friend number 40 asked the question while looking straight into my eyes, and then burst out laughing.

“… “You’re asking me a question, right?”

“Yes!”

“Our friend’s name is Joohee? Miss Joohee, that was a very good question~.”

When Chaewon winks, middle school friends cheer with joy.

While I’m crouching during the break and feeling the heat, the other side is plotting a plot?

In a rather embarrassing situation, she slowly turns her head and looks at Chaewon.

“Did you squeeze it?”

“What?”

“There’s no way kids would ask questions like this in front of Ever Han Chae-won.”

“Oppa Yumin, I don’t have time! “Answer me quickly!!”

“I still don’t like doing it until recess!!”

You should become civil servants later. The nation awaits you with thorough public and private affairs ahead of Choi Ae.

Ha, I close my eyes tightly and swallow my smile.

I glanced at the camera, and then looked into the eyes of the female student who asked the question and answered.

“This friend thinks her eyes are her most attractive point.”

“Kyaaa~!”

“Your eyes are pretty and romantic!”

I don’t know what it is, but the female students are giving an enthusiastic response.

“Oh, you should have said everything was pretty, bro!”

“How can I date Chaewon when you make comments like that? Are you angry?”

I don’t know what it is, but the male students are giving an enthusiastic response.

… Don’t look at me like that. I’m human too, so I get hurt.

“Ah, it’s cute.”

Chaewon, who is just happy about this situation, ignores the prodding with her elbow and calls out her next friend.

The kind look in his eyes gives the impression that he will say something very kind-hearted.

I took a step back from the table and waited for the question……

“Who confessed first?”

Friend number 39’s eyes suddenly changed, and he nodded and raised his head as if he was interrogating a criminal.

You should be a detective. The violent world wants you.

“… “I think our friend Seyoung has a big misunderstanding.”

I quickly checked my name on the attendance sheet and spoke first.

As SNS is so active, we need to talk about each and every one of these things properly. However, it was strange for Chaewon to talk about it, so he tried to come forward and talk about it himself.

“———It’s clear who did it first.”

Chaewon cuts me off and answers fluently in English.

I turned my head and looked at her face blankly at the appearance of an unexpected enemy, thinking that I would be stabbed in the foot by an ax that I trusted……

“I know you’re pretty, so you don’t have to look at me like that, Sasha.”

You shrugged your shoulders and winked.

“Wow!!!”

“Are you two really dating?!?!”

“… “That brother was the worst senior on earth.”

“They say the enemy will meet at the single tree bridge… ….”

The atmosphere in the classroom instantly heated up.

“Where do you usually go on dates?”

“Did you exchange handwritten letters?”

“Since when did we see each other as opposite s*xes?”

“Was there a moment that you found most attractive?”

“Where can I meet a childhood friend like that?”

…… Below, we received numerous questions about love, and the remaining time was filled with explanations rather than questions and answers.

Wow, it’s already past second period.
