Chapter 145

* * *“Who?” Miso asked again.“Mr. Yoon Moonjoong.”“Who is that, a teacher?”“No, the actor.”“...Who?”“The actor, Mr. Yoon Moonjoong.”“Just a person with the same name, right?”“Don’t think so.”“Is it who I’m thinking of right now?”“Probably.”“And he’s coming here right now?”“He wanted to know if you were fine with it first...”“Fine with it? Of course I am! Of course he’s welcome here!”The club members all looked at them weirdly from all the noise Miso was making. “He’s not coming here right now. He said he’s going to take some time.”“How long?”“About two hours?”Two hours. Miso looked around the auditorium. Was there a place for him to sit? No, was this place even good enough for him?“He also told me to tell you to not make a scene just for him.”Miso couldn’t calm down despite hearing that. The name Yoon Moonjoong held many meanings to her. “Do we have any nice chairs here, instead of these wooden ones?”“Probably in the faculty room.”“Come with me.”The two of them walked right down to the first floor. There were quite a few teachers here despite it being a Sunday, they picked a chair that looked pretty comfortable and asked the teacher if they could take it. They looked troubled at first, but their demeanor changed as soon as they heard the name, Yoon Moonjoong.“Really? Mr. Moonjoong is coming?”The reaction from one of the older female teachers was quite something. The woman gave them a blanket and even a yokan as a snack. She asked for a signature as well, prompting a nod from Miso.“Hold this.”Miso held the blanket and Maru carried the chair. The club members asked them what was happening when the two of them returned to the fifth floor.“A heavyweight senior might be coming to visit us. Guys, get to practice. Write a list of everything you were unsure about. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You can’t buy experience like this even with money.”The kids understandably looked a little confused even after hearing Moonjoong’s name. Miso was more than ready to explain how amazing this actor was, but she decided to let it pass for now.“Ugh, I’m so nervous.”“Just be yourself, this isn’t normal for you.”“You’re the weird ones. This is the teacher Yoon we’re talking about. Ahh, to think I’d experience a generational gap with something like this… It’s just a single decade, too.”“You’re old.”“Do you want to die, Maru?”Maru shrugged.“How did you get to know teacher Yoon, anyway?”“I met him through Mr. Junmin. He told me a lot of good things.”“You should’ve told me about that.”Maru saluted her like a soldier and said “Yes, sir. Any time.”“What’s he like anyway?”“He’s a kind person. He listens seriously in conversation, even to the boring stuff. Well, I’ve only met him once, though.”“Hah, I’m nervous.”“I could just tell him to not come.”“Are you kidding me? He retired from the industry by the time I started acting. I had no chance to ever meet him because of that. I can’t believe I’m going to meet him like this.”Maru looked very cute today to her, all of a sudden. Miso grabbed the boy’s cheeks and shook him sideways.“Aghh...”“You damn cutie! You’re a little ball of luck.”“It hurts.”“It hurts? I’ll do it more!”Miso grinned like a child, making the club members stare at the two of them in even more confusion.
