Chapter 193

* * *‘That son of a bitch.’Geunseok grit his teeth, he didn’t get the response he wanted. He wanted to see Maru confused and angry, not smiling back at him. His original plans to crush Maru with kind words failed. “Geunseok. I heard from the faculty that you just need club members. Ten people by the end of this week and a signature from your advisor.”The vice president handed him a piece of paper. With this, Geunseok would be able to create a rival acting club.‘Good.’He was a bit annoyed, but things were going well. Geunseok decided to gather a few people from his class first.“Acting? I’m already in a club.”“I heard it takes a lot of commitment though.”“I have to study.”To his surprise, not a single person agreed to join. Geunseok quickly calmed down though and started thinking.‘I’ll go to the first years again. I just have to emphasize that it won’t take too much work.’Geunseok was whisked into a feeling of nervousness as he headed down, Junmin was the one who suggested that he make a new club. All the preparation was done already, but can he even make one in the first place?He decided to head into a mechanical engineering class first, most of the students were sleeping inside since it was nearing the end of the day. He steeled himself to walk up to the front of the class.“Um, hey, guys? I’m sorry, but mind if I spoke for a second?”A few of the kids raised their heads, Geunseok quickly started talking about the new club. Something wrong happened with the original one, so he was trying to make a new one. The new one emphasized personal freedom, Geunseok took a look at the freshmen after finishing his speech. Some were looking at him with annoyance, but most were fast asleep. Geunseok bit his lips. Sleeping? In front of a senior?“Guys, listen to me!”He punched the lecture stand below him, he could feel eyes gather to him in an instant. They all looked annoyed, Geunseok tensed up a little bit. He forgot that this was a school full of delinquents. Geunseok wasn’t a fan of these gazes, he feared violence, he feared getting hit.“Um, Senior?!”Right then, one of the freshmen spoke out loudly. It was a kid with very short hair, he’s seen this kid somewhere…“I’m in the acting club. If my memory serves right, didn’t you leave of your own volition? Senior Maru told me that you got bored of acting.”“W-what?”“Is that not the case? I’m sorry. I’m a bit stupid.”The kids in the classroom started muttering, after waking up from the boy’s shout.“Bangjoo, quiet down a bit.”“So loud.”The class was clearly uninterested in the acting club, Geunseok nearly fled from the first year’s class.
