“Help me out at the petrol station, will you”

“Is it that bad”

“The guy that said he was going to work ran again.

We pay more than everyone else around, but we still cant get anyone.”

“You must be having a hard time, but what can you do about it Youre going to succeed the business, so you have no choice but to do it.”

Dowook climbed down the stairs after complaining.

“Im leaving as well.

See you around, you two.”

“Have fun making gukbap.”

“Why dont you visit and eat some Missus hasn\'t been looking good recently since sales are dropping.”

“Youve totally married into their family now, huh.

You just have to deal with it.

Have fun too, Iseul.”

Maru waved his hand at the two people that left.

“Theyre like workers,” Daemyung said, standing next to him.

“They are workers, and also students.

Both Dojin and Dowook that is.”

“Sometimes, I envy them.

I feel like theyve grown up already.”

“Thats nothing to be envious about.

Its best to delay jumping into the working force as long as possible.

The best scenario is to not have a job forever and just live off rent if youve inherited a building from your family or something.

We have sad lives because we cant do that.”

“Did you have to make it that depressing”

Maru shrugged before looking at the staircase to the 3rd floor.

“Youre going up, right”

“Yeah, what about you”

“I cant do today.”

“Do you have a shoot for the film”

“No, thats on Wednesdays.

Todays a personal thing.”

“Everyone should be waiting for you though.”

“Waiting for me” 

“When we scattered last night, all the first year students were talking about you.

It seems like you left a deep impression on them.”

“What an honor.

Oh, for Chihwan, itd be better if you have him do practice runs rather than read-throughs.

Putting him on stage will benefit him more.”

“The plan was to rehearse as a whole starting today anyway.”

“Really Instructor Miso is coming, right”

“Yeah.

Everyone seems to be happy that basic practice is over and theyre going to do a play, so I feel kinda sorry for them.”

“Theyll find out today that their happy times are now over and hell is about to start.

After all, what awaits them when they make a single mistake is a 1-to-1 meeting with the grim reaper after all.”

The first year students would find out today how the wordagain can drive a person crazy.

Miso would no longer be lenient once practice runs started.

If they made a mistake, they would receive near-traumatizing additional instructions and would have to sweat even in winter.

After a few rounds of that, they would start to think that they should stop making mistakes because they would drive them crazy.

“Ill go up then.

See you tomorrow.”

“Keep up the good work.

No wait, I guess I should tell that to Aram now, huh”

“Shes just as tough as instructor Miso, so she should be fine.

Probably.”

“Nah, she cant match up to Miso-noonim.”

“So you think so too, huh”

Daemyung, who climbed the stairs with an awkward smile on his face, suddenly stopped.

“Did you bring a videotape again today”

“I forgot that I had an appointment, so I brought one.

I wont have any time to watch it though.”

“Can I watch it with you if the time is right If that lady is someone amazing like you said she is, I definitely do want to watch them.”

“Ill go through them and show them to you once I feel like I saw something important.

The videos taken in 1987 probably wont be that helpful.”

“Alright, then.”

“Good luck with practice.”

Just as Daemyung was about to climb the stairs again, he stopped and took out his phone before sending a text with a difficult expression.

“Whats making you so serious”

“I-its not that serious.

Its just that Ive been asked to eat out together… but Im a bit scared.”

“Youre scared of eating out together”

Daemyung smiled wryly before turning around.

From the way he acted, it didnt seem to be that serious.

It seemed that he just got a text from someone who he has a hard time dealing with.

Maru hung one of his bag straps on his shoulder and looked at his watch.

It was 5:16 p.m.

The students that chose to stay behind after school for self-study sessions all rushed out of the building to play soccer on the school field.

Maru mixed in with the group and left the school.

“Hey, you should just go study at home.”

“Shut up.

Han Maru, you should hang out with us as well.”

Maru waved his hand.

These people had gathered together with the aim to enter Seoul National University through special college entrance requirements, but their objective seemed to have been kicked into the horizon with the ball they were kicking around as they seemed to have turned into a soccer group instead.

“Dreams are the best when they are still dreams.

Have fun.”

He left the school after watching his friends running towards the ball for a while.

After getting on the bus, he called her.

-Hello

“Youre about to receive a human parcel.”

-Can I reject it

“Im sorry, customer.

This product cannot be returned.

Youre at school, right”

-Im packing up to go home.

Theres no practice today after all.

“Should we hang out after I meet Bitna”

-Unfortunately, I have a prior appointment, Mr.

Han Maru.

“Prior appointment”

-I promised Id eat with mom.

Oh, and Hanmi-ahjumma as well.

It seems like she has taken a liking to Daemyung.

She said we should invite him as well.

“So thats what it was.”

-What are you on about

“Daemyung received a text just now and froze up when he read it.

I heard that writer Lee Hanmi is quite picky, so its not like I dont understand.”

-She does talk a lot about work even when she eats.

She probably told Daemyung a lot of things as well.

Heck, even I got nagged at the last time we met.

She told me that Im bad at bringing out emotions.

She laughed awkwardly.

Being able to eat with a big-shot writer was definitely a good opportunity, but for a sensitive guy like Daemyung, he should have his troubles.

“But Daemyung probably wont make it today because of practice.”

-I know.

Thats why she seemed a little disappointed.

From what I think, Hanmi-ahjumma seems to consider Daemyung as a disciple shes going to raise in a strict fashion.

“I feel like hes gained a lot of recognition without me knowing.”

Maru spoke as he looked at the students who were getting off the bus.

“Where should I go after I get there”

-She should be waiting for you at the school gates.

“Youre going to be there too, right Lets meet up.”

-I dont want to.

“Why are you being so cruel You dont want to see me”

-Were going to meet tomorrow anyway.

Youll see me as much as you want when I go to your school tomorrow, so hold it for today.

I need to go right now.

“Alright, alright.

I guess I have no choice but to play with Bitna.

I should tell her about how I got thrown away by my girlfriend.”

-Ill kill you if you tell a kid something like that.

“Violence isnt good.

Anyway, wouldnt it be strange if a small girl is standing in front of a high school by herself”

-Bitnas big sister will be there as well.

Shes a junior of mine named Yuna.

Shes a good kid.

Plus, shes really cute too.

“I guess Ill just have to play around with two cute girls then.

My girlfriend isnt here for me after all.”

-Be prepared to get hit tomorrow.

“Please come over to hit me.

And shoot the movie while youre at it.”

He could hear a laugh over the phone.

Maru focused on his hearing.

Her happy laughter was always pleasant to hear.

-Anyway, take good care of my junior.

Shell be with you since she cant leave Bitna alone.

Oh, right.

She also said that there are some things she wanted to ask you.

Shes an aspiring actress too.

“How do you feel having a popular guy as your boyfriend Dont you feel uneasy at all”

-Should I switch at this opportunity

“I might start crying in despair if you dump me.

In front of your house, that is.”

-That sounds horrific.

I wont dump you.

Im going to hang up now.

I need to go.

“Watch out for cars, only cross the road when the light is green, and raise your hand.”

-Yes, yes, Mr.

Han Maru.

Im a good girl, so Ill do everything you just said.

“What do you do when a bad mister is asking to go with you while giving you candy”

-I take the candy and kick his butt!

“Correct.

See you tomorrow.

Also, text me the number for this Yuna just in case.

It will be a pain if we miss each other.”

-Hey, youre trying to pick up a girls phone number like that

“Im quite good at things like that, you know”

-Fine.

Anyway, treat her well.

Shes a really good kid.

After hanging up, Maru looked outside the window.

He started seeing a familiar road.

He would arrive at Myunghwa High after ten minutes or so.

He had a look at the number she texted before pressing the stop bell.

He saw students wearing Myunghwa High uniforms lined up at the bus stop.

After getting off the bus, he walked along the road until he saw Myunghwa High across the two-lane road.

The black vans parked near the school were something like a signature for Myunghwa High.

“Good luck with the shoot!”

“Good luck!”

A girl who came out of the school amidst the cheers of the students got in one of the vans.

She seemed to be an idol of sorts.

As this school was known for having many young people who worked in the entertainment industry attend, this was not a rare scene.

Maru crossed the street and walked over to the school gates.

When Maru, who wasnt wearing any uniform, stood in front of the school gates, people wearing uniforms glanced at him before going past.

“Are they not here yet”

He heard that they would be waiting for him in front of the school, so he took out his phone.

Just as he inputted the number he was texted and was about to press the call button, he saw a girl holding the hand of a little girl.

Maru smiled and put his phone back inside his pocket.

“Hello.”

Bitna politely greeted him while putting her hands, which were holding a drink can, by her belly button.

Her politeness left nothing to be desired.

She seemed to have grown a lot over the past year.

Well, they did say kids grow up quickly.

“Hello.”

Another girl, a student, greeted him as well from next to Bitna.

She seemed quite excited for some reason.

“You must be Yuna then.”

“Ah, yes.

Have you heard from unni”

“Yeah.

Youre Bitnas sister”

“Yes.”

“Youre better than me, listening to your sisters request like this.”

“O-oh, no, not at all.”

Maru then looked at Bitna who was staring at him.

“I wonder what Bitna wanted to see me for.”

“Uhm, you know….”

Bitna, who was usually clear-cut about everything, seemed hesitant.

Did she feel awkward after not seeing him for a long time He thought that it might be better to put some distance, when,

“Uhm, theres something I need to apologize to you about.”

The one that spoke was not Bitna but Yuna.

An apology all of a sudden Maru asked what it was about.

“Actually, it wasnt Bitna who wanted to see you.”

“Then”

“It was me who wanted to see you, seonbae-nim… may I call you that”

“Call me whatever you want.

Han Maru, Maru, hey, you, et cetera.”

Yuna seemed taken aback.

Maru scratched his eyebrows when he saw that her thought process seemed to be stuck.

It seemed that he should refrain from making jokes.

“Just call me seonbae.”

“Ah, okay.”

“I dont think I need to listen to the rest.

You asked Bitna to meet me because you have business with me”

“Yes! You found out pretty quickly.”

“Anyone would know that if youre making an expression like that.

I did find it a bit strange when Bitna suddenly said that she wants to meet me.

I guess Bitna helped our her big sister, huh” Maru said as he looked at Bitnas eyes.

She was a calm child who did not complain even under the scorching sun, but she was still a child.

He couldnt let her mind about what her sister and this brother were thinking about.

Bitna should probably be at ease just by notifying her that there was nothing wrong with this situation.

“Sorry, oppa.

I lied.”

“This isnt even considered lying.

People like me know best since I lie all the time.”

“Do you lie a lot, oppa”

“I do.”

“Then does that make you a bad person”

“Does Bitna see me as a bad person”

Bitna stared at him for a while before shaking her head.

“If Bitna says Im not, then I shouldnt be.

Uhm, Yuna, was it Shall we switch places This place is a little crowded.”

“Shall we”

Bitna naturally grabbed Yunas hand.

They seemed to be sisters who got along well.

“Yuna, why are you looking around like that”

“What Oh, I was worried that someone might recognize you and come, seonbae.

I heard that image management was important for actors….”

“Youre clearly overly worried.

Theres no one who recognizes me.”

“Not at all.

Youre famous, seonbae-nim.”

“Im famous”

“...Youre probably famous.”

Maru then grabbed a random person who was walking by.

“Uhm, excuse me, but do you happen to know who I am”

“What No, I dont seem to know you.”

“Sorry about that.

I seem to have been mistaken.”

That student scanned him from top to bottom before leaving.

Maru looked at Yuna, who was blinking her eyes.

“See No one knows me.”

“A… ah! Its because you arent wearing glasses.

Youll definitely be recognized if you wear glasses.”

Yuna then suddenly started rummaging through her bag.

“What are you doing”

“I have a pair of glasses I wear when Im studying.

If you wear that, people will recognize you.”

“Isnt it supposed to be problematic if they do”

Hearing that, Yunas actions suddenly froze.

She stiffly raised her head, not knowing what to do.

“You have a peculiar character, huh.”

“Sorry.”

“Not at all.

I meant to say that I quite like you.

Bitna, your sister seems to be an interesting person, isnt she”

Bitna faintly smiled while nodding.

“Where shall we go I dont know the area that well.

Preferably, we should go to a place where we can eat.”

Whenever he came here, it was his girlfriend who always guided him around.

Most of the time, she took him to restaurants that were gaining popularity.

“Theres a place I visit a lot with my friends.

Can we go there”

“Sure.”

Yuna nodded.

Maru took a step back and looked at the sisters who were holding hands.

‘Now thats the kind of daughter I want.

The worddaughter gave him a sense of nostalgia, but he didnt know what that was about.

Maru smiled and followed the two.
