26 – Twelve (3)

The next morning

” Dohee~ I have to wake up and go to school.”

I barely woke up at the sound of my mother waking me up.

When I wasn’t a trainee, I woke up refreshed right away just by listening to the alarm, but now I’m so tired that I can’t wake up even with the alarm.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes and going to the bathroom to wash her face, Doa is already sitting at the table eating.

” Sister, eat quickly. “

” Yes. Unni, I’ll be wearing my clothes right away.”

Since Doa entered elementary school, I have been going to school with Doa.

I took a white tee and jeans out of the closet and put them on.

The weather is still chilly in the morning, so I should wear a cardigan too.

I sit down at the table, and my mother puts rice and soup in front of me.

” Eat quickly. “

“Even if you eat slowly, it’s not late. You have time.”

” It’s because he always said that and was late for 5 minutes.”

” It’s not that you’re late because you started late.”

” Then what is it?”

“I’m late because I want to go late.”

My mom looked at me like I was talking nonsense again.

Ah~ I hate going to school.

I roughly ate rice in soup and left the house with Doa.

” I’ll be back~ “

” I’ll be back~ “

” Yes, have a good trip, both of you. Watch out for the car!”

” Do I have to pick you up tonight, Mom?”

” I see what you’re doing~”

” My daughter is afraid of the night roads~ Please come~”

I’ll come pick you up today.

The only good thing about going to school is going to school.

Being able to go to school holding her hand tightly with cute Doa every day like this.

The flowers are pretty on the way to school.

” Doah, stand in front of the flowers over there. I’ll take a picture for you.”

” Sister, we’re late again.”

“My sister is measuring the time accurately. It’s okay. She should stand up quickly.”

Doa eventually stood in front of a flower.

She pretends not to talk, but still holds her pose.

I took a lot of pictures.

” Oh, who does our pretty girl look like so she’s pretty? “

” Big sister.”

” Answer! “

” Sister, I have to go now. It’s late. “

” Okay~ “

From noble mtl dot com.

After all, the school is close to my house, so I can go there in 5 minutes.

” Sister! “

” Huh? “

” That’s my sister!”

Looking at the place Dohee pointed to, a banner that didn’t exist until yesterday is hanging at the front gate of the school.

‘ Student Music Contest Elementary School Piano Division All Grand Prize Class 4, Grade 5 Lee Do-hee Congratulations! ‘

What is this?

How on earth did the school know that I was in the competition?

I was hiding it.

Once I took Doa to her class, I went into my class.

As soon as I enter, the kids stare at me.

Have you guys seen the banner too?

This is why I didn’t want to be found out at school.

Even though I enjoy the attention, I didn’t want the attention of elementary school students.

Among the children looking at me, Sujin comes up to me and talks to me.

” How could you hide it from me, Dohee?”

He saw the banner too.

” What… “

” You always finish school.”

After school?

” Huh? “

” You played the piano.”

” Oh, that’s right.”

I thought for a moment that being an idol trainee had spread. Phew

” You can tell me. “

” Sorry, I’ll tell you later.”

I managed to calm Su-jin, who was clinging to her, and pulled her off.

Huh… It’s hard to sit down.

I’m doubly tired from the morning.

I have to lie down on my desk until the teacher comes.

But, as if he had no intention of leaving me to rest, a broadcast came from the speakers in the ceiling.

– Lee Do-hee, 5th grade class 4, please come to the broadcasting room. –

Ah.

What else?

When I had no choice but to go to the broadcasting room, there was a teacher in charge of the broadcasting department who sometimes ran into the hallways with the members of the broadcasting department.

” Is Dohee here?”

” Yes, hello sir. “

” So, Dohee, I heard you won the grand prize in the piano competition?”

” Ah… Yes. I was lucky.”

” The teacher thought Dohee was great because she had a pretty face and studied well, but she was really good at the piano, right?”

” hahahaha… Thank you.”

” Your parents must be very proud.”

My mom was so angry yesterday that she didn’t even come to pick me up.

” hahahaha.. Yes, that’s right.”

” Sooner or later, the principal will come and broadcast the award ceremony, so just receive the award and go.”

” Yes. “

.

.

” Lee Do-hee won the overall grand prize at the Student Music Hyup Concours and honored the school, so the above award is given. “

” Thank you.”

Ahh, it’s finally over.

I should go and rest now.

” Children of Dohee? “

” Yes? “

” Would you like to go to the principal’s office with me?”

” Ah, yes… “

This time, I was dragged to the principal’s office without any choice.

” Sit here.”

” Yes. “

” So this isn’t the first time Dohee has won a piano competition? “

” Ah yes… “

How do you really know?

” I’m proud of you. Why didn’t you tell the school?”

Because if I said that, it would be so annoying…

” Ah… I’m ashamed to tell you. hahahaha.. “

” There’s nothing to be ashamed of. I wouldn’t have known if the reporter hadn’t told me.”

” Yes? Reporter?”

” Yes. He said he’ll come for an interview soon.”

” Yes? “

How does the reporter know about my school?

Every time I interviewed the winners of the competition, I did not disclose the school to protect their identities, and I asked reporters not to post pictures to protect their portrait rights.

SNS is also the same.

The last time my mom posted on social media was when I was 8 years old.

Even after becoming a trainee, not only did it become private, but there were no posts to infer his identity.

After a while, a woman who appeared to be in her mid-30s entered.

The principal got up and greeted the woman.

” Welcome, reporter.”

” Hello, Headmaster.”

” Greetings from reporter Do Hee-ya. “

This is absurd, really.

” Yes, hello. “

” Hi, Dohee. Then, can we start the interview?”

A reporter asking if he can interview the principal.

As a party, my permission?

” Oh, yes.”

Aren’t you supposed to ask me?

The person concerned has no intention of doing so.

After… Yes.

Let’s think positively.

If you become a celebrity, there will be more people than this.

Think of it as a preparation lesson.

Yeah… Good is good.

” Let me ask the principal first. What kind of student is Dohee usually?”

” Ah Do-hee is famous in the school as a talented student who has never missed the first place in the school since she entered school. “

That’s right.

I studied in elementary school to hear this sound.

” Is that so? Is there any problem in terms of personality? “

The tone of the question is as if he wants me to have a problem with his personality.

” Yes. All of my friends like it and the teachers are all complimenting it. “

” I see. Then I’ll ask Dohee this time. You can answer comfortably.”

” Yes. “

” You have won 14 consecutive grand prizes, so why aren’t you participating in overseas competitions?”

” I don’t think I have the skills to go to overseas competitions yet.”

” Then why do famous piano professors say they’ll teach you, but why do you refuse? If you’re not good enough, you should learn. “

“I have personal circumstances.”

” Can you tell me what it is?”

” I’m sorry. It’s a personal matter.”

” So could you tell me what his personal circumstances are?”

That’s really f*cking rude.

In the first place, I thought I wouldn’t be a normal person from the fact that I came to find out the school I had hidden, but I didn’t know that I would come out so recklessly just because I was young.

I can understand it after experiencing it myself.

This is why you hear the sound of the cranes.

I got up and said.

” Reporter, it’s too embarrassing, so I’m going to reveal it here. But can I go out for a while and talk to you alone?”

” That’s about it. “

Everything you say is not cheap.

Me and the reporter went out into the hallway.

” Okay now tell me what is it?”

“I’m not going to do an interview.”

” What?”

” I can’t do it because the lady is so rude.”

” I’m not a lady, and if it comes out like that, you’re the only one who suffers.”

He’s making unreasonable threats.

I just kept quiet and took my phone out of my pocket and called Team Leader Jeong.

– Uh. Dohee why? –

I explained the situation to the team leader.

– Yes, Dohee, good job on the phone. Could you change me to that reporter? –

” Yes, boss. “

I handed the phone to the reporter.

” Take it.”

The reporter and the team leader had a conversation, and the reporter blushed.

In the end, the reporter gave me the phone as if tossing it, glared at me, and left.

Whew.

” The team leader went to the reporter.”

– Yes. He belonged to the third-class yellow press, which was a waste of being called a reporter. –

” Oh, that’s right.”

For some reason, I didn’t want to associate with them.

” Thank you, boss.”

– Nothing to thank. It’s the company you’re protecting. Next time, call ahead before the interview, okay? –

From noble mtl dot com.

” Yes. Thank you. “

– I thought that this would not happen as a trainee, so I didn’t train, but it’s my fault. Let’s see you come to work today. –

” Yes, thank you, manager. –

” Yes, listen to the class carefully. –

” Yes. “

I went back into the principal’s office and told the principal.

” The principal and reporter suddenly left?”

” What? Why?”

” I don’t know. I think something happened.”

” Huh… You’re a person without a case. Do-hee, go to class now.”

” Yes. “

Of course, even when I went to class, instead of taking a break, I was tormented by my homeroom teacher and elementary school students.

Sunday in three days

As promised, I am preparing to go out to play with Wooa.

Since we decided to play, we should dress beautifully.

” Mom, what temperature is it today?”

” It’s 22 degrees outside.”

It’s a very warm day today.

I wore denim shorts with a yellow shirt tucked in.

Would you wear white sneakers here?

Looking at my reflection in the full-length mirror.

Hey, this is a spring outfit.

” How is my mother?”

” Pretty pretty. “

” Mother lacks sincerity. “

” You’re so pretty, Dohee~. Now, I’ll hurry up and wait for you.”

” Yes~ I’ll be back~”

The place I decided to meet with my sister was Daehangno near the company.

Meeting, eating, going to cafes, wandering around the streets, and going to karaoke is the end.

I like that the weather is warm when I go outside.

Listening to exciting songs with earphones on in warm weather makes my body shake.
