‘Is it finally starting?’

My heart raced as I looked at the fan club kids.

I was even starting to look forward to what would happen next.

……I guess I’m becoming a part of this world too.

When I didn’t answer, the fan club kids pressed again.

“Hey, what’s your relationship with Sir Ha Min?”

Well, I’m curious about that too.

“We’re not in any kind of relationship.”

“What?”

The fan club kids’ voices grew louder, as if they were upset by my answer.

“You say you’re not in any relationship?”

“How can you say you’re not in any relationship when Sir Ha Min treated you so well?”

“You really are an arrogant kid!”

……What am I supposed to do?

‘These kids are really tiresome.’

Isn’t it better for them if I’m not in any relationship with Ban Ha Min? I don’t know what answer they want. If I knew the right answer, I’d give it to them.

‘I just wish they’d let me go quickly.’

I let out a small sigh as I looked at the angry faces of the fan club kids.

By the way, I feel like I’ve experienced a situation like this before……

“Hey, you, come with us for a moment.”

Ah, that’s when it was.

That terribly unlucky day.

I remembered the situation when Yoo Hee Na and her friends surrounded me.

Back then, three of them also glared at me like this, with me in the middle.

‘……Is it a trend in this neighborhood to go around in groups of three?’

The Three Musketeers were three. Yoo Hee Na and her friends were three. The fan club is three.

There must be something about the number ‘3’.

‘Well, at least these ones are weaker than Yoo Hee Na.’

Unlike back then when I was intimidated from the start by their gazes, now I just felt indifferent, maybe because I’ve experienced tougher things.

Most of all, I was hungry.

‘I want to end this quickly and have lunch.’

The fan club kids were saying something in front of me, but it wasn’t registering.

‘What was today’s lunch menu again?’

Since my possession, looking at the school lunch menu has become the joy of my life. I kind of understood why students were called ‘school lunches’. There’s nothing more important in this world than food.

But looking at the faces of the fan club kids, it didn’t seem like this would end quickly today.

From experience, it’s better if I speak up first in situations like this.

I quickly surrendered.

“I’m sorry, but I’ve done everything wrong, so can’t you just let me go?”

It might not sound like it, but it was a truly sincere apology.

Unfortunately, my sincerity didn’t get through.

The fan club center shouted.

“You seem to think you’re something special because Sir Ha Min gave you the nickname Chun Ja. That’s nothing, you know?”

“That’s right! You think you’re everything just because you’re Chun Ja?”

“Don’t get cocky, Chun Ja!”

“……”

Chun Ja……

When will I ever be able to escape from being Chun Ja……

I thought I had finally been promoted to ‘Joonie’, but now I’m back to Chun Ja. At this rate, there might seriously be people who think my name is Chun Ja.

‘As expected, Ban Ha Min is the root of all evil……’

He’s the number one culprit for messing up my school life.

Come to think of it, even getting to know Seon Woo Jin and Sung Ji Chan was because of Ban Ha Min. Ending up in the Second Infirmary was also ultimately because Ban Ha Min kept going on about Chun Ja.

‘I’ll definitely pay back this debt someday.’

I don’t know how to get revenge, but I made a vow of vengeance anyway.

‘By the way, didn’t they see Seon Woo Jin earlier?’

Judging by the lack of mention of Seon Woo Jin, it seems they didn’t see us walking together. That was fortunate in an unfortunate situation. I must never let them find out in the future.

“You must not know since you just enrolled, but we have ru.les, you know?”

As the center spoke, the ones on either side nodded.

You all enrolled at the same time as me……

“First, we don’t approach the Three Musketeers first. Second, we don’t speak to the Three Musketeers first. Third, we don’t give gifts to the Three Musketeois without our permission. Fourth, we don’t try to monopolize the Three Musketeers. Fifth……”

“Wow……”

I unconsciously expressed my amazement.

Do they really have to memorize all that?

I’m glad I didn’t join the fan club.

I had briefly considered joining the fan club before to pretend to be a normal person, but it was definitely the right choice not to.

But wait, haven’t I not broken any of those rules?

I’ve never spoken to Ban Ha Min first.

While I was thinking this, the fan club kids came to their own conclusion.

“Judging by your expression, it seems you understand well.”

What?

I swear my expression didn’t change from start to finish.

“We came to give you a warning today. From now on, know your place and stay away from Sir Ha Min!”

I want that too.

Praying that Ban Ha Min would willingly stay away from me, I obediently nodded.

Satisfied, the fan club kids put on triumphant expressions.

“You should have done that from the start!”

Before leaving, the fan club center said,

“We’ll be watching you from now on!”

Then they turned around and walked towards the classroom.

I was left alone at the school gate.

‘……They really just said what they wanted to say and left.’

Is not listening to others a characteristic of the villains in this world?

Well, it’s a bit ambiguous to call the fan club villains.

Whatever, it’s fine.

It’s already happened anyway.

I was prepared for this since Ban Ha Min appeared at my desk this morning.

‘Right, it was bound to happen someday.’

There was no way things would stay quiet after becoming acquainted with the Three Musketeers.

My school life will be tough from now on, but I’ll accept it as the fate of a possessed person.

‘Well then, shall I really go eat now……’

Just then, the bell rang.

It was the bell signaling the end of lunch time.

‘……’

In the end, I couldn’t eat lunch……

I shed tears of blood internally as I watched the retreating backs of the fan club kids.

So, after returning to the classroom.

I sat down at my desk, pretending not to notice the pouring gazes.

But.

‘Huh?’

For having received a declaration of war from the fan club kids, things were surprisingly uneventful.

‘What’s this, it’s quiet?’

The class kids were still glancing at me, but they didn’t openly pick fights like the fan club.

‘At this rate…… it’s manageable?’

Dropping chalk erasers, splashing water in the bathroom, writing insults on desks, and so on.

I had been prepared for the typical bullying repertoire, so the kids’ relatively mild reaction was a bit unexpected.

‘Well, I guess that’s good for me.’

Even though I lost my friends.

I turned my head slightly.

The kids who used to chat with me and eat lunch together were just watching me from a distance.

‘Is this…… the fate of a popular person?’

Of course not.

Anyway, if I were a real high school student, I might have been hurt, but I’m a possessed person. This much was nothing.

‘They’ll stop eventually, I guess.’

I didn’t think much of it and moved on.

The afternoon passed relatively peacefully like that.

I even went to the school store during break time and filled my stomach. It was a bit disappointing to miss the school lunch, but today’s menu wasn’t that delicious anyway, so I shook off any lingering regrets.

Time passed and passed, and soon it was the last period.

The subject was physical education.

I changed into my gym clothes and headed to the field.

“Today’s class is volleyball.”

The PE teacher said.

“Get into pairs of two.”

Huh?

Why pairs of two at a time like this?

I turned my head to look at the other kids. They desperately pretended not to see me to avoid my gaze.

Bob cut…… you won’t abandon me, right?

Remember our friendship when we cheered together for the Three Musketeers on my first day of possession. Well, I didn’t cheer, but……

However, Bob cut was the most active in avoiding my eyes.

“Ha.”

A hollow laugh escaped me.

‘Ah, this is really too much.’

How can people change like this overnight?

I feel like crying from the injustice.

But no matter how much I resented the kids, the situation didn’t change.

‘Should I ask Yoo Hee Na?’

But Yoo Hee Na was already laughing and passing the ball back and forth with Minion 1.

‘She doesn’t even notice me.’

In the end, left alone, I grumbled as I went to get a ball.

‘Fine, I’ll practice alone because it’s beneath me.’

To not be friends just because I talked to Ban Ha Min a bit. It really was a harsh world.

As expected, Ban Ha Min is the root of all evil…… After roughly dumping all my resentment on Ban Ha Min, I practiced tosses angrily.

As I was practicing alone with the ball for a while like that.

“Ju Eun.”

A girl from my class called me.

“Yeah?”

“Can you help me?”

I could help, but…… why me?

We were in the same class, but we had barely exchanged words.

‘What’s this?’

To approach me at a time like this. Suspicious?

I was puzzled, but I obediently followed her.

“What can I help you with?”

The place the girl pointed to was the gym storage room.

“Ah, um…… There’s something I need to get out, but I can’t reach it……”

My height was 165 centimeters, above average for girls. And the girl in front of me looked about 10 centimeters shorter than me.

So it wasn’t too strange for this girl to ask me.

‘Ah, is this why she called me?’

I entered the gym storage room without any suspicion.

“Which one?”

“Um….. That one……?”

The girl pointed to something dusty on the top shelf.

‘I don’t think I can reach that either.’

Wouldn’t it be better to call a tall boy? I glanced back slightly.

When our eyes met, the girl looked at me with a desperate gaze.

‘Ugh.’

Alright. Since I’ve come this far, let’s at least pretend to try.

I moved a chair that was in the gym storage room and placed it in front of the shelf.

“Is it that one?”

I checked once more. The girl rolled her eyes slightly and then nodded.

I climbed onto the chair and reached towards the shelf.

But as expected, it wasn’t enough.

‘Ugh, can’t reach?’

I stretched my hand out again, but I couldn’t reach the top shelf.

Finally, I gave up and said,

“Um, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can reach it either……”

That’s when it happened.

Bang!

The door closed with a loud sound.

‘Huh?’

What’s this, why did she suddenly close the door and leave?

Sensing something suspicious, I got down from the chair and approached the door.

I could hear giggling from outside.

“Serves her right.”

“I can’t believe she was stupid enough to actually go in.”

No way?

I tried turning the doorknob.

Click click click.

No matter how much I turned it, the firmly closed door wouldn’t open.

Click click click click.

“Huuuh?”

Only then did I realize what situation I was in.

‘Ha.’

I stared at the closed door in disbelief.

‘This can’t be happening.’

And that’s how I ended up locked in the gym storage room.
