Life, Once Again!

“You said the competition was today, right? ”

In the fall, he nodded and replied to a friend's question sitting next to him.

“Late for dinner? ”

“No, I only have to take it until the second period. ”

“Really? So you're skipping class? ”

“Maybe.”

“Sounds good. I want to study on a day like today and play outside. ”

A friend looks out the window and says, It was definitely good weather. There was not a single cloud in the sky that was visible through the curtain. The sun that was floating in the blue sky was like a tower light. Today, there will be successors performing under those lights.

“Hey, if you're going to brag, raise your hand. ”

The teacher said, taking chalkboard with chalk. Autumn was silent.

As soon as the class was over, my friends came. At the end of the national tournament season, the school side places a huge plaque card on the gate and the side wall of the main school. Thanks to the promotional text for the 'Target of the Year' competition, half the children also know that today is the day of the competition.

“The cheerleaders of the theater department, get down on the bus. ”

As soon as the break started, the class came into the classroom and said, hitting the table with the attendance. It seemed that the third graders in the first grade were always going.

“I want to go too. I don't want to study.”

“Can you take me with you? ”

Autumn, he studied with a little emphasis on the words of playful friends. "

“I'll be right back. ”

“Yes. While you're at it, I want you to pick a target. ”

“Good luck!”

Autumn stands up with her bag. My classmates who are going to cheer me on saw the small cheer card waved with their hands. Fall into a fighting position, holding hands tightly.

- We have a support vehicle for the theater department on campus. Teachers can guide students to take them to their vehicles.

In the fall, I could see the second-graders descending in a row, and down on the second floor, I could see first-graders moving. It is an annual view, but every time it is seen, it is a palpitation.

I ran out of the main hall and toward the annex. On the first floor of the annex, Autumn arrives in front of the theater practice room and picks his breath and opens the door.

“Sunbae, are you here? ”

“Hey, come on! Don't let celebrities be late. ”

Choi Seol, the manager, smiled and said. Autumn stood next to his comrades after pinching his flank slightly.

“Now that you're all in third grade, I'll just say a quick word and get going. Do you have anything you'd like to say before that? ”

The instructor shook his head at the best question.

“Since the instructor has nothing to say, let me say something. The target you handed over last year, let's get it back! ”

The acolytes shout. The screams from more than 100 members were not lacking to fill the rehearsal room for the small town hall.

“Let's pay the price for your hard work. First graders who couldn't get kicked off stage this audition, and second graders. Take a good look at this stage and make sure you get up there in winter. You know, the fame books aren't that good. But I'm really proud that you guys were so good this year that you didn't have time to go to third grade. That's it for me, our mascot and the showmanship of the theater...... Now it's autumn's word that suits you better than your real name! ”

The microphone came out of nowhere, but the fall didn't panic. It's because I have something to say.

“Have fun. That would be a good thing. ”

Autumn calls out for a fight as he raises his hand over his head. My subordinates also followed me vigorously. Autumn handed Mike back to Seol Choi.

“If you go outside, there's a bus, so you'll share it with No. 2 and the stage actor in No. 1 and the staff on the stage. I have something to tell you on the way. Okay?"

“Yes!”

“Okay, let's go! ”

With a clapping sound, the followers moved. Autumn also took her bag and moved. I had to support the actors onstage as they didn't go onstage. On the way out to the playground, you can see the bus from the support team leaving the gate. The first-graders who had never seen this scene had a small elasticity.

“Great! That's my class! ”

“Good luck this year! ”

“Don't be afraid of Kim's life! ”

“Fight Minji Park! ”

I heard a sound coming from the main school. Students who put their faces to the window were voices mixed with cheer and envy. The followers who were called by their names jumped to the bus, waving their hands or covering their faces with bags. It's the entrance ceremony of the famous theater department.

Fall landed on the back of the frozen rear and boarded the first car. Middle window side. Director Choi Seong stood outside to check the numbers. Units boarded in car one, two, and one. The faces of the successors on stage were covered with slight roses.

“Good luck first graders. This year you're in charge. ”

His motive turned around and said, This year, as the entrance auditions and actor selection auditions were intense, I was looking forward to first-graders who went through all of them. As I listened to the answers of the first-graders, I saw him riding up with a script in his small autumn eyes. Autumn met his guardian who was looking for a seat, and he glanced at him with a smile.

“Hey, can I sit next to you? ”

“Yuna, I left you sitting down. ”

“Thank you."

Autumn saw Juna sitting next to her. He was supposed to play the lead, but he was responsible for the lack of himself and the dramatic filming made him irrelevant.

“What should I do? I'm just nervous.”

“It's okay. It's no big deal. Don't worry about it. ”

Autumn held Juna's hand. with a prayer that he will be able to use all of his skills onstage as his beloved successor.

It was time to look at Juna smiling and smile together. A video that was being consciously pushed through the surface of the accident, like an awl. The face of the floor is drawn next to Yuna's face.

The fall shakes its head. The story shouldn't have come out now.

“Sunbae?”

“No, nothing. ”

“Tired, aren't you? Taking care of us. ”

“I said no. I have great stamina. You remember the script perfectly, don't you? ”

“Of course! I got up at dawn and read it again and again. I don't want to make any mistakes. ”

“That's a lot of fighting. It looks good.”

Yuna smiles widely.

“Thanks to you? ”

“Me?”

“Yes. Autumn sunbae... Oh, sorry. This name stuck in my mouth. ”

“It's okay. They're free, they're free, so I'm confused about what their real names are. And it's actually better to call it an autumn. Jules said the more you're named, the luckier you get. ”

“Then I'll call you Big Fall. Good luck to you. ”

“Yes, thank you. What do you mean, thanks to me? ”

Yuna folded the script in half, saying.

“Do you remember that time? ”

“Back then?”

“When you bought me that strawberry milk from the convenience store in front of the school. ”

“I remember. I remember what I said. ”

Yuna nods slightly.

“It was actually kind of hard back then. No, I didn't even know it was hard. I just practice constantly every day, and then I go home, and I think the acting is fun, and I don't really enjoy it. It was on the outside, back then. But my boss found out about it first and talked to me. Strawberry milk was the best strawberry milk I'd ever had since I was born. ”

“It was just milk for sale everywhere. ”

“No, it was special milk you bought me. You didn't know I was a strawberry milk maniac after that, did you? ”

“Really?"

“Yes!”

Autumn laughed with her mouth closed. The word strawberry milk comrade came to mind. It sounded strange, but I liked it. However, the more fun the conversation with Juna was, the more anxious steam rising from the depths of consciousness became. It was an unbearable feeling.

“What my senior said at the time was very helpful. ”

“... Yes. ”

“Yes. And I got to know you from the floor. ”

Autumn turns its head. I don't know what I'm looking at right now. Is the tail trembling or does he have a blank expression? I've already heard from Juna. I confessed to the floor. When I first heard it, it was just fun. I just thought it was a cute mistake for a cute successor. He even encouraged Juna that the work was done well and that she had no feelings for the floor and would be careful going forward.

I thought I was just passing by without any trouble, without any pain. If it weren't for Juna's expression that I saw the other night, I would still be relieved.

In the fall, I smoothed my face and saw Juna. Yuna stares at you as if she were curious about turning her head suddenly.

“What a beautiful weather. ”

“Yes, I love it. That's why he's light. I think I can make it to the stage today. ”

“I hope so. ”

I thought it was a mistake, but every time I saw Yuna's face, I remembered her. The floor looked fine. Rather, he had a annoying look. But Juna was different. The gaze was clear enough to recognize it from afar. It was a look that I could feel more clearly as I was a woman.

Fall tried to understand in my mind. As a respected senior, I felt confident that it might be something I like. It's a close relationship, not between a man and a woman.

That's when the phone cries in the bag. Fall received a call without even checking the caller's name. Juna's gaze was fixed on her face, so I couldn't even check.

- You got it.

It's the floor. After taking the call, Juna looks at the script. Autumn said, looking next to Juna.

“Uh, the floor. ”

I felt the power in my eyes as I spoke. The optic nerves seem to be stranded to catch some sign. I was disappointed in the ugly appearance of doubting my successor, but on the other hand, I also wanted proof to be reassured. Speaking the name of the floor in a loud voice was done in my heart before my head gave the order. And what happened that moment hurt the autumn eyes.

Yuna looks this way. If it were just to be seen, it would not be seen as much. I'm looking at the surprised rabbit. It's as if you've discovered something secret. After that, Juna's gaze followed the search. It was a moment, but autumn could read those feelings. The moment I tried to deny it, I heard a voice.

I think she still likes the floor. Are you in love with him?

Autumn turns her head to the window. A small tremor shook from the side seat. Juna was clearly in a state of shock. She must have read something in my eyes, too.

Autumn shouted to her who was in her heart. That can't be right.

- No, you know that.

No, she's my favorite.

- Why shouldn't the woman you care about be the same person? Can't you like the floor since it's your back?

That's not what I'm talking about.

- No, no, no, no, you didn't. Can I have one of yours?

Shut up.

- Greedy.

No, it's not.

If not, look at Juna now. Look at me and tell me the truth. If there's nothing to be afraid of.

Autumn bites her teeth as she listens to her words in her heart.

- That's why you can't. You always do. I tried to have it all. I tried to have it all.

What do you know about me?

- I know, I know, I know. But this is as far as I go. But we're partners, right? Right? Your performance cannot be completed without my help.

Her voice fades.

“Hey, there. ”

“Huh?"

Autumn turns its head, smiling.

I turned off my phone without saying goodbye.
