31 Saebom Elementary School

* * *

There is a story I heard from Uncle Miller when I was on a desert island.

‘Seojin. When you live in this world, there are things that get you stuck. Things that seem like they can’t be solved. At times like that, you just have to think about three things.’

‘Three things?’

‘okay. The first is people. After all, this world started with people, right? So, when a problem arises, you just have to think about who is at the center of the problem.’

‘hmm. That sounds plausible. What about the second?’

‘Secondly, you need to figure out what drives that person. You will find the key to solving the problem. If you can feed a hungry person, nothing could be better, and if you can heal a sick person, nothing could be better. If you can solve the problem, those people become yours.’

‘also. You are great. Then what is the last?’

I still vividly remember Uncle Miller’s expression at that time.

‘Whoa… Seojin. But there is life.’

‘yes.’

‘In the end, it’s all about money. money. Just buy everything with money.’

‘······.’

He had the face of a monk who had achieved enlightenment.

‘uh······. Man, things were going well, but suddenly something strange happened? There seems to be a lot of drift.’

‘hey. To put it bluntly, food and treatment can all be done with money, right? When I’m planning a performance, if they ask me to set up the stage according to the date, even if I say no, I pay twice as much, and it’s done early in the morning that day. uh? Are you saying there is no recording studio? But they said they would give me three times the money? well. ‘They said they were building a recording studio.’

‘······ oh.’

‘So in this capitalist world, most problems are solved with money. It’s like this. Do you understand?’

‘But man.’

‘why.’

‘Why this… Did you tell me that while explaining the score of Mozart’s Requiem? ‘It seems a little unexpected.’

‘Mozart, that guy didn’t have any money, so he had to beg for money, and then he got sick and died. In the end, I didn’t have enough money. Remember it well. In this world, when there is a problem, first think about whether it is because of money. Surprisingly, the answer will be easy to solve.’

‘Uhm. ‘That’s profound.’

‘There will be times in your life when you remember what I said. ‘Just wait and see.’

and.

Strangely enough, I could clearly remember the man’s words at that time.

Yesterday I got off work… No, I had an idea that came to me after school.

My partner at school was apparently bribed with a few candies. And that story became fused with what the part-timer at the piano practice room said.

There was a reason why I spent a huge sum of 30,000 won. When I saw the three heavy boxes, I felt reassured.

This will be a valuable bullet for me and a great foundation for my school life!

“······.”

The thought was so grandiose that I almost had a moment of wise man time. But I couldn’t help it. Just thinking about school made me shudder.

A dazzling morning.

Saebom Elementary School was very bright.

Girls gathered in groups of twos and threes laughing haha.

These growing boys are overflowing with energy and sweating in the jungle gym since morning.

Today again, without fail, they spot me and shout.

“uh! Saebom-dong is immortal!”

“Hey hey. Have you finally arrived? “I thought I was going to lose my head while waiting!”

“hey. He wasn’t kidding yesterday. Did you shake hands with all the students at our school? “He’s a star. He’s a star.”

“Someone even hugged me from behind. I said I would be energized. “I thought it was some kind of magical stone.”

“Oh, kinda! Seojin! I want your autograph! “My younger brother is an immortal fan and said he likes Phoenix.”

If it were me yesterday, I would have avoided them as much as possible.

It’s not because I’m scared of those guys, it’s because if I get involved with them even for a moment, I get completely exhausted.

But today I had something to talk about with them.

I walked towards the guy who seemed to be the leader of the group, and who looked to be about 160cm tall and had no idea what he was eating.

“what···. what? you! “Do you have something to do with me?”

The little boy stuttered for a moment, probably because it was something unexpected.

I checked the facts with him first.

“hey. Tell me honestly. “I’m really curious about something.”

“······ What, what is it? “Tell me, say it in words.”

“Are you dissatisfied with the milk meals at our school?”

“······ huh?”

Sister Alba told me yesterday.

When I was in school, whenever I had milk, I always added Jetty (cocoa powder) to it.

Sister Alba told me yesterday.

To be honest, the milk didn’t taste good. So, if there were kids bringing jetties, the class would go crazy. It is said that due to a lack of supply, only half of the milk was consumed, and this gave birth to milk that tasted like hell.

So what can be done about these guys?

All elementary school students are there.

“what···. Kinda like that. I’m tired of eating every day. It smells a little fishy like milk. But why is that?”

also.

I cried out in joy.

What I had to do today was a pretty large-scale big deal.

“by the way. What if that milk suddenly changes to chocolate milk? “And that every day.”

“······?”

“It could even be strawberry milk. It’s all up to us. “Now we are one.”

“He… “What on earth are you talking about?”

I calmly explained the contents to him.

Negotiations continued until the preliminary bell rang.

And the big deal.

“okay. “So first of all, it’s a week?”

“It’s good. “I wish you the best in the future.”

“okay. friend.”

It was concluded quite dramatically.

The hands of elementary school students returning after signing a contract with me.

There were five jetties each.

* * *

In front of a classroom crowded with crowds of people.

“Ah, teachers! You can’t do this here. I explained it to you. “You are only allowed to see one person per break!”

“hey! What are you? And what kind of teacher am I! I’m in class 1 of 6th grade! “Aren’t you a 6th grader too?”

“Ah~ So, teacher. I don’t even have to use an honorific title! uh! uh! You can’t just intervene there! I heard Han Seo-jin was busy today! Uh-huh!”

“Ah, is this your first time seeing these celebrities? You shouldn’t come to class 3 randomly like this! Well, let’s have some basic manners~”

“Stand in line first! line! And the number of interviewees for the second period is full! Just take your number and go back!”

Children with strong jungle gyms blocking the classroom door.

I looked at them and enjoyed the sweet chocolate milk.

Phew. Is this the taste of success?

Although I spent a huge sum of 30,000 won out of the 450,000 won I earned in Hongdae, it was worth it for the effect.

For reference, the jetty wasn’t that expensive.

10,000 won per box of 80 pieces.

That is, 30,000 won for 240 pieces.

I had a bunch of bullets left.

Peace suddenly came to class 3 of 6th grade.

My partner, who was sitting next to me, saw this situation and asked me in disbelief.

“no···. Isn’t he the 6th grader? How can he help you? “What did you do?”

“There is a way. “By the way, was there a Jjang in our school?”

“uh. He won by throwing away Class 7’s Cheolsu. At the playground. So, in an instant, Cheolsu became the second in command. Didn’t you know that the guy blocking the road over there is Cheolsu? “Currently, Cheolsu is the best right-hand man.”

“······ Right arm? “Then does he have a left arm?”

“Shh! That’s a secret. It’s an unwritten rule! “There’s a dark story there.”

“······.”

The life of an elementary school student is also quite dynamic.

I was the only one who didn’t know until now.

I secretly asked my partner about the story about 6th grader Jjang’s left arm, and I was able to hear a pretty interesting story.

Things that I would like to tell Suyeon later gradually piled up.

I gave Jetty to each child in my class free of charge.

Once you taste it, people will become greedy, right?

I was planning to make ‘ZETTY’ the virtual currency of Saebom Elementary School in the future and was diligently laying the groundwork.

The class time was quiet.

My homeroom teacher, as always, attends class diligently.

Model students raising their hands in response to the teacher’s questions.

These miscreants are changing the title of the ‘Mathematics Skills’ book to a ‘Pure Evil’ book.

and.

I dominate the entire class and write music comfortably during class.

Life as a 6th grade elementary school student filled with worries.

Actually, maybe it’s not that bad?

* * *

Saebom Elementary School teacher’s room.

“Ehyo…”

“oh. “Why are you sighing?”

A conversation between two female teachers.

Lee Jeong-ah, the homeroom teacher of class 3 of the 6th grade, sighed once again.

“after···. that is. “I feel like the kids in my class have suddenly become strange these days.”

“You suddenly became strange?”

“yes. At first, I thought it was just the end of vacation and things got a little messy. I think there is some other reason. When you’re writing class content on the blackboard, you can hear a rustling sound behind you? Then, when I turn around, everyone is looking at me with bright eyes. “It feels cheap~?”

“Ah~ Teacher Jeong-ah Lee must be sensitive. And kids these days are that good. Class 3 is a noble class.”

“Yes, but…”

“But how is Seojin? “Has anything changed since the AC 2505 accident?”

“ah···. that is···.”

Lee Jeong-ah thought for a moment and then answered.

“At first, I thought I wouldn’t be able to adapt, but I soon found out that I got along well with my friends. The kids also love Seojin so much. However, class participation dropped significantly.”

“You were originally a diligent child, right?”

“yes. I was a kid who gave a lot of presentations and volunteered to be a team leader or do makeup. however···. “These days, I just keep my head down and wonder what I’m thinking.”

“Ego. “Do you have any trauma from the accident?”

“well. I tried counseling once, but he seemed fine. In fact, I think I’ve become a little more dignified…”

The music teacher who was talking to Lee Jeong-ah. This time she approached it from a slightly different perspective.

“Seojin is a kid preparing for the entrance exam to Yejung High School. “Right?”

“yes. So during the first semester, I also had parent consultations. “My parents didn’t seem to be worried because I was preparing well.”

“But. There are definitely some arrogant students among those taking the entrance exam, right? “There are students who say they are artists, but they neglect class or don’t listen to the teacher at all.”

“oh. is it so?”

“How many years have I been teaching? I know it all too well. But if you have that mindset, come to your senses! You have to make it! How important is the elementary school curriculum in life! “That kind of attitude will never work.”

“Uhm. I think so. But, sir. “Is there any good way?”

The music teacher made a slight gesture to Jeong-ah Lee. It means to come. Then she continues whispering as if telling her not to tell anyone.

Lee Jeong-ah, who had been listening for a while, let out an exclamation.

“and. “That’s really cool!”

“If we do this, the participation in class, even among students who aim to be polite, will inevitably increase. “Just wait and see.”

* * *

next day.

Very peaceful Saebom Elementary School 6th grade class 3.

15 minutes before the end of the 5th period class.

Teacher Lee Jeong-ah finished class a little quickly and said with a big smile.

“Everyone~ Was today’s class fun?”

“yes~”

“yes···.”

“yes?”

Various reactions from students.

However, there was only one child that teacher Lee Jeong-ah was watching.

The child is still dazed with his head down.

Are you feeling listless or unable to find meaning in class?

Lee Jeong-ah looked at Seo-jin and made up her mind.

“So today I’m going to do something fun. Now, shall we have the person at the front of each division come out for a moment? yes. Please take this and pass it back.”

Children who are confused by the sudden event. However, I just move as the teacher tells me to do.

After a short period of time, each child was given a blank piece of paper.

Teacher Lee Jeong-ah looked around the classroom and continued speaking.

“Class ended a little early today, right? The content was easier than usual. So, if you are a student who has taken the class well, you will be able to solve it easily. Because the questions were only based on the content of this class. Now, everyone, make an empty desk and look here.”

Lee Jeong-ah clicked the computer mouse a few times and displayed a problem on the beam projector.

The children immediately realized what it was and sighed.

“Ah, teacher~”

“No~ It’s a test of how long it’s been since school started~”

“ruined···. “I just dozed off…”

What teacher Lee Jeong-ah prepared was a surprise written exam.

“You see questions 1 through 10 on the blackboard, right? Please write your answer subjectively on paper. Please note that this paper exam will also be reflected in your academic records, so it will be especially important for students preparing for special subjects. So, you have to listen to the ‘class’ well on a ‘normal’ basis. “You know~”

There was a strange emphasis in her words.

Lee Jeong-ah thought while looking at Seo-jin.

‘If this happens, Seojin will come to his senses, right? I hope you come back as energetic as before. Since I was a conscientious child, of course it would be like that. If that happens, she will be better for Seojin too.’

So, I deliberately selected the subjects that 6th graders found most difficult and created a paper test.

To give Seojin a little warning.

Suddenly, without warning.

It’s all about ‘English’!

Jeong-ah Lee glanced at student Seo-jin Han again. As expected, Seojin’s face was stiff.

Even his eyes are shaking as if he can’t figure it out. I also press down on my temples. I can’t even sigh.

‘I didn’t take the class, so of course it’s going to be difficult. ‘Nothing!’

Special measures advised by music teacher.

That seemed to work well.

It was also rewarding to mix in some of the more difficult content among the 6th grade English passages.

Lee Jeong-ah grinned.

‘ruler! If you can guess it, try it!’
