64 – The stage is over

All stages are over.

To be honest, the impact of the last stage was so great that the rest of the stage was soon forgotten in my mind.

– Students who participated in the talent show and the finals of the E-sports competition, please come up on stage!

“Park Si-yoon, we are calling! Let’s hurry!”

“Si-yoon, quickly!”

“Yes, yes.”

While I was watching the stage blankly, I heard the emcee’s loud voice in my ears, and I had to get up from my seat, dumbfounded, by Choi Min-seong and Kim Soo-bin’s torch.

“… ….”

When I hurriedly got back on stage, Yuna Han, who was last in line, was watching me come. When I unconsciously looked away from his unfamiliar gaze, he giggled as if it was fun.

You did that on purpose to make fun of me. Anyway, my personality isn’t going anywhere.

– Alright, Seonil High School! The fun festival schedule has finally come to an end! Now that we’re really approaching the finale, what’s left?

“Awards!”

Eventually, after confirming that the students who participated in the performance were standing in two rows, the host asked a question to the audience, and the answer came back all at once.

The host smiled in satisfaction and nodded his head, making a gesture as if introducing us behind him.

– That’s right! There will be an awards ceremony for students who shined on today’s festival stage and previous Esports competitions!

The host passed the cue cards in his hand and looked around at the students on stage.

– Now, young people these days don’t like being idle, right? Let’s go quickly, at the speed that Koreans like!

Oh, the host knows something. It’s not for nothing that short, fast-moving videos are posted on the Internet, claiming that it’s ‘the speed that Koreans like.’

– First of all, unfortunately we lost in the finals! We will start by announcing the runner-up team of the E-sports competition, which brought joy to the students by showing off an amazing game!

“Oooooh!”

To be honest, the runner-up team may feel disappointed, but from the other team’s perspective, the runner-up team did well enough.

Perhaps that is why the students sitting in the audience are also welcoming the runner-up team with a warm response to keep them from getting discouraged. Thanks to this, the runner-up team that came forward also seemed to ease their disappointment by laughing among themselves.

– Runner-up at the 3rd Seonil High School Esports Competition, ‘Prince, please have some CS’ team! Congratulations!

“Thank you!”

Now that I think about it, that team was a formidable one-man carry team. I remember the reason the team was named like that because it was a team that would lose if they couldn’t improve their ADC.

Still, we managed to make it to the finals and competed against a team with a former challenger midfielder, so wouldn’t that be an achievement worth bragging about? Let’s start by applauding.

After the runner-up team’s brief acceptance speech, the host next handed over the cue card, and Choi Min-seong shrugged his shoulders as if to appeal that it was his turn.

Wow, look at the strain in Kim Soo-bin’s neck when he mentioned riding the bus. Still, as Kim Soo-bin said, the line battle continued well, so let’s congratulate him for this time.

– Next is the winning team of the 3rd Seonil High School Esports Competition. ‘Kim Soobin and Kids’ team, please come forward!

“Waaa!”

“Kim Soobin! Kim Soobin!”

There were quite a few kids in school who knew Kim Soo-bin’s name just because she was a female challenger, so as soon as her team name was revealed, all kinds of reactions poured in.

As Kim Soo-bin stepped forward, placed an iron plate on her face and kissed her hands around her like a Hollywood actor, cries came from everywhere.

– Hey, seeing as the team name is Kim Soobin and Boys, do you think the female student is the leader of this team?

“Yes, this is our team bus driver!”

– Hey, are you the bus driver? Actually, this guy has hosted a few E-sports competitions, but this is almost the first time he’s seen a female user perform a hard carry.

From what I was saying, it seems like the host came to the site early and watched the competition for a bit. I’m talking about Kim Soo-bin’s devastating carry.

As both her teammates and the MC continued to praise Kim Soo-bin, her friend waved her hand at her with a red face as if to tell her to stop. She is the opposite of Han Yu-na, who is even more embarrassed when she receives praise from others.

– Now, then, student Kim Soobin, who showed a great carry today? She asked me to say something about her acceptance speech.

“Ah, first of all, I am very grateful to the other classmates who helped me practice and the teammates who followed along. It was my last competition since I will graduate next year, and I am very happy that I won….”

Kim Soo-bin’s comment was reminiscent of his thoughts at the year-end awards ceremony held at a broadcasting station, and soon after, the five people returned to the back.

In each hand was an envelope containing a cultural gift certificate and a dining gift certificate.

Come to think of it, for our school, a school festival, the prizes given to the winners were quite generous.

“Hey, Minseong Choi! “Take a shot!”

“If Kim Soo-bin took the bus, you should be humanely punished!”

When some classmates in the audience below the stage booed Choi Min-seong in particular after seeing this, he only raised his middle finger.

Wow, they don’t give a sh*t about this. Look at that small thing.

– Next, there will be an awards ceremony for a total of 21 students who participated in the talent show! First of all, a special award!

While I joined in behind the scenes and booed Choi Min-sung with my thumbs down, our turn came.

Except for a total of three stages including myself and Han Yuna, everyone performed a stage created by at least two people, so the number of awardees was quite large.

As is always the case with school festivals like this, participation in itself is often given significance, so the atmosphere was as if everyone who participated could receive even the smallest prize.

Among them, the dance performance in which the girls in our class participated received an excellence award and actually only took 3rd place. I thought he was almost a contender for the championship, but I also thought it was a little surprising.

“aaah!”

“Good job, guys!”

“Where is the real excellence award?” !”

They seemed to be quite satisfied with the results, even though they screamed all sorts of things and hugged each other in an uproar.

Did they expect that it would be difficult to even receive the Excellence Award because there were so many strong candidates in their own right? If that’s the case, then it’s probably a good thing.

At the end of the awards ceremony, there were only two awards left. Ironically, the only people left are me and Han Yuna.

I don’t know if other people were aware of this, but suddenly the audience, which had been so noisy, became as quiet as ever. Unlike the E-sports competition awards ceremony, the students watching seem to be quite nervous as they are waiting without knowing the outcome.

– Now, only the grand prize and grand prize are left for Seonil High School’s long-awaited talent show. Who do you think will win!?

“Han Yuna!”

“It’s Park Si-yoon!”

A loud response came through the microphone that the emcee turned toward the audience.

In the old days, Han Yuna, who was considered a celebrity within the school due to her status as an idol trainee, would have received overwhelming support.

Perhaps because of something that happened not long ago, there were people at school who knew me, but surprisingly, there were quite a few people who mentioned my name. For some reason, I felt a little proud of that fact.

“Wow, this is really dramatic. How do these two come together?”

“Foot, that’s right. Whoever wins here also wins the bet.”

I inadvertently burst into laughter when I heard Choi Min-seong and Kim Soo-bin whispering next to me.

I find it fascinating and funny at the same time. The two of us started betting, but I never thought it would come to a close at the very end.

Even if I were to write a drama script, I wouldn’t be able to write it like this. This is probably why the saying that reality is more dramatic than drama came from.

“… hehehe.”

As I move my gaze to the side, I see Yuna Han smiling playfully at me. The sight of her showing off her V made me feel like she was telling me to be prepared when she won.

Is this also a change?

If it were normal, she would have already begged for me to win because she didn’t know what Hanyu would do to me with that slave power, but now I think she’ll happily accept whatever the result is.

I’d rather see the look on the guy’s face when he wins and says he’s happy that he won. When I picture Han Yuna running around and running around like an excited puppy, I actually start to laugh.

Feeling a sense of self-destruction at the thought that I, too, am truly seriously ill, I turn my head towards the audience and back away from her.

The host, who glanced at us, seemed to have realized that the winners were mentally prepared, and waved the cue card like a baton in an energetic voice again.

– Seonil High School’s spectacular talent show stage! The main character of the subject is… !

The drum sound that usually resonates at any award ceremony comes through the speakers, and after a brief pause, the host swings his arm forward with all his might.

– Student Yuna Han! Congratulations!

The grand prize winner was decided, and at the same time, pollen rose with a loud noise from the equipment installed in advance at both ends of the stage.

Han Yuna headed to the center and received a plaque that said ‘Grand Prize’. She smiled brighter than anyone else, and then she turned her head towards me.

Frown.

Han Yuna’s wink, which felt so obnoxious, felt very cute today.

The bet between us ended with Han Yuna’s victory, and Seonil High School’s festival also came to an end.

***

After the festival, our class decided to gather in the classroom for a while. This was due to the homeroom teacher’s request to come as quickly as possible, as they would send it back once the number of people was checked.

“Han Yuna! Han Yuna!”

“I thought Yuna would win! “I almost cried when I heard the song at the end!”

“That’s right, he sang really well. “The exclamation of the second graders could be heard all the way to where we were.”

Meanwhile, they must have forgotten the instruction to wait quietly, and as soon as they returned to the classroom, the students in our class started shouting Han Yuna’s name and acting like enthusiastic fans.

It may have been disappointing to receive the Excellence Award, but I thought it was very heartwarming to see the girls who formed the dance team congratulate me even more.

“Wow, Park Si-yoon, what a waste. But there’s nothing I can do about it since the opponent is Han Yunara.”

“My words. “Honestly, I wouldn’t have known about her if it wasn’t for Hanyu or me.”

“Recognition.”

Meanwhile, the boys also came up to me and gave me some warm comfort by giving me shoulder hugs. Most of the reactions were encouragement as if she had put in a great effort against Han Yuna, who was considered the absolute favorite to win.

I wasn’t particularly sad either, so I was smiling and nodding my head, and suddenly a few girls from behind came over to me.

“Siyoon was cool too. “I almost fell in love with you?”

“That’s right, your voice is good too. “She would have stormed in if she hadn’t said last time that she had a crush, right?”

When a group of people who were quite famous in the class approached me, I naturally flinched. Because they were about a million light years away from me.

“But isn’t there still no owner? “It’s not a crime to attack.”

“Huh? That’s right. How are you, Siyoon? Do you want to do it for your sister?”

“Oh, Park Da-in’s power!”

Park Da-in is so famous for doing that to her male students as a joke that people around her reacted like, ‘Do that again.’

I knew it was a joke, so I smiled bitterly and was about to tell her to find someone else, but then something grabbed me roughly.

“Well, Park Si-yoon is mine!”

“… Uh?”

It was none other than Han Yuna.

“Oh, what! “You two said you weren’t dating, but you ended up deciding to date!?”

“But Yuna is debuting soon. “Wouldn’t there be an uproar if dating rumors broke out?”

“So, Yuna, are you okay? “Can you handle it?”

The classroom became noisy again due to his explosive remarks.

Hanyu I guess I also said this out of anger, but before she could even process the comment, she rolled her eyes in all directions and then looked up at me. She was an SOS signal for help.

Anyway, you made a mistake and left the cleanup to me. It’s vicious to look at someone like an abandoned cat so they can’t even say no to such a topic. But I don’t hate it.

“Hey, hey…. Say something….”

When I didn’t say anything, Han Yuna urged her by pulling on her sleeve.

“Why? It’s yours. “I lost the bet?”

In response, I deliberately slyly mentioned the bet between us. I knew very well that even if I tried to make excuses in this situation, it wouldn’t work.

“Hey, what is it? “Did you mean betting?”

“Well, our Yuna hasn’t even debuted yet. If dating rumors break out already, it would be a big problem.”

“That’s right, Yuna needs to be protected.”

Then, as expected, most reactions turned to bland. The only ones who knew the inside story were Choi Min-seong and Kim Soo-bin, who just looked at me with eyes that said they had taken care of everything.

On the other hand, Han Yuna still couldn’t believe that these words came out of my mouth, and she was busy muttering something while looking up at me.

“Mine, mine…?” . Where did you learn such wonderful words? .”

As she listens closely, she hears a voice full of shame.

Why does she always say things out of her own mouth and then feel embarrassed about herself? Thanks to you, even my face gets hot.

Kkook.

Eventually, I felt a small hand grab her hand, which was behind her back, and I covered myself with my own body, as if to hide it.

Although I was already worried about the way back home, I was looking forward to it.
