The spring weather is
very great this year, thankfully that Fina and Mira have been able to walk on
foot to school. This helps them to save some money from transportation fee. However,
luck isn’t siding with them today despite the fact it’s the first morning Fina’s
able to go to school together with Yanah again after last doing so in middle
school. Under the bus station’s roof, Fina and Mira are waiting for Yanah and
the bus silently while playing with their smartphones.
Yanah: (runs in the pouring rain) Fina-yah! Mian! Mian!
(finally reaches the bus station) Fuh, mianhae eonnie, Fina-yah. I woke up
late. Those useless men in the house didn’t wake me up and just went to school
by themselves. I shall have my revenge tonight for their irresponsibility
(holds her fist)
Fina: (gives Yanah her handkerchief) Yah, look at you. You
might catch a cold if you go to school wearing this damp clothes (helps Yanah
wipes the water off her uniform)
Yanah: (grins) Annya, gwenchana. I brought this (brings out
hair dryer from her bag)
Fina: (surprised) Yah! It’s against the school’s rules
(worried face)
Yanah: (sighs) I know, but what can I do. I’ll make sure I
won’t be caught (winks)
Fina: (smiles, pushes Yanah’s head a bit)
Yanah: (sits beside Fina)
A few metres from the
bus station, another person is running under the downpour, trying really hard
to reach the bus station quickly. He finally gets under the roof and wipes the
water off his hair and clothes. He seems to be shaking a lot due to being under
the rain for quite a long time. Fina looks at the person carefully and thinks
hard to remember the identity of that guy. She knows that face but something’s
off somewhere.
Fina: (whispers to herself) That guy looks like the class president but
he doesn’t have the glasses (scrutinizes the guy) Oh? Wait..but he’s wearing
our school uniform?
Finished wiping water,
the guy wears his glasses which was kept in his blazer so that they won’t be wet
and turns to see if any empty space is available for him to sit. He then recognizes
a familiar face who is looking at him.
Kyungsoo: (walks to a girl) Fina-ssi. Annyeong! (smiles)
Fina: Annyeonghaseyo. So you’re really the class
president. Sorry I couldn’t recognizes you earlier (bows slightly)
Kyungsoo: (smiles) Annya gwenchana. I didn’t have my glasses
on. But, I haven’t seen you wait for the bus here before. Are you living
nearby?
Fina: Ne, I live in that building (pointing to her house). I
usually walks to school with my sister to save some cost (grins)
Kyungsoo: Oh, I see. No wonder (leans his back to a pole as
there is no place to sit)
Fina: How about you? Do you live nearby too? Do you always
take bus to school?
Kyungsoo: Ne, my parents’ condominium is on the 5th level
(points to the condominium complex opposite to the apartment building)
Fina: Oh I see (smiles)
Both students suddenly
stop talking and turns their heads to opposite directions. Both are so silent
for a while for no reason.
Yanah: (sees the situation from the beginning, curious of
the identity of that guy) Fina-yah (pokes Fina) Who’s that guy? (whispers)
Fina: (whispers) My classmate. He’s the one who snatched the
top rank in class from me
Yanah: (shocked) He’s that genius you’re talking about?
(says out loud)
Fina: (closes Yanah’s mouth with her hands) Yah! Shikkereo!
He might hear us (lets go her hand from Yanah’s mouth) Ne, he’s that genius. I
don’t know he lives near to our house
Yanah: Daebak daebak! (excited) He’s a genius and
good-looking chaebol. Ah, perfection (admires)
Mira: The world is so unfair. On the other hand,we have no money,
no look and only depend on our brains to have a better life in future.
Fina: I know, right eonnie? I envy him (sneaks a peek at
Kyungsoo)
Yanah: (suddenly sad) Good for both of you to have smart
brains. Here I am, stupid, ugly and a beggar. What a sad life (pretends to wipe
her tears)
Fina and Mira stand
up and simultaneously hit Yanah on head for her pathetic act. Both of them then
head to the bus that arrived a moment earlier.
