“There are no problems with the microphones, right”

“Yes, theyre fine.”

“You told me that mic number 2 kept producing unwanted noises though.”

“We changed that out.”

This was the broadcasting room, where one corner of it was filled with broadcasting equipment.

Maru sat down around a table placed in the center of the room.

On his opposite side were the first years, who were waiting for him as they talked.

“Please take care of me for the next twenty minutes today too,” Yeondu, the third year of the broadcasting club, winked as she spoke.

She pushed up her glasses and checked the music CD with a junior of the broadcasting club.

“Lets do one more read-through before we start,” Daemyung said as he picked up the script in front of him.

The broadcast was around 17 minutes.

What Yeondu wanted was to gather the stories from the students of this school and modify them into fun stories, but apparently, she gave up due to the lack of participation.

The other schools werent in good shoes either, so apparently, all of the schools would share any stories they got from their school and all of the schools would essentially talk about the same thing during lunch.

The script in front of them was made like that.

“The microphone is in broadcasting mode right now so dont power it on, okay”

“Yes.”

Maru pushed aside the microphone in front of him.

There were two microphones on the table.

The first years shared one while the second years shared the other.

If they had a good microphone that was actually used in the field, one would suffice, but there was no way high school broadcasting clubs had such high-tech equipment.

From what he overheard, the broadcasting club had to beg the school to get them these two microphones as well.

“It was Bangjoo and Dowook two days ago, right”

“Yes.”

“Then is it Maru and Arams turn today”

Aram raised her hand and shoutedyes.

“Well be starting in five minutes, so get your lines ready.

Dont make mistakes like last time.

It was good since it was funny, but you should still do things properly.”

“I wont make a mistake.

Also, its fine since I made fewer mistakes than Dowook-seonbae.

No one remembers because of that, hahaha!”

When Aram laughed, Dowook, sitting on the other side, sighed.

Last time, Dowook screwed up while doing his opening line.

The wordstiring afternoon becametiring apfthernoon.

Pfft, Maru laughed when he thought back to that time.

He turned away from Dowooks fierce glare.

After that, Dowooks nickname becameapfthernoon for the next two days.

Even he, with his personality, didnt fight anyone because of that nickname.

He must have been so embarrassed that he couldnt even get angry.

“Apfthernoon is no good, Im serious,” Yeondu said with a wink.

“The song request is about to end.

You guys should get ready to start.”

Hearing that, Daemyung quickly started reading the script.

The script always arrived in the morning.

They would read the script that Yeondu would pass onto them in the morning, and then immediately do the broadcast during lunch.

Although the schedule was unbelievably tight, everything was forgivable since the objective was just a school broadcast program anyway.

This was what Yeondu meant when she said that there was no pressure.

No one had any expectations of them, and they werent doing this for some kind of fame either.

Although the YBS radio program was on the line, just one out of the numerous schools in the Gyeonggi region was going to be picked.

Yeondu said that they should just treat it as a memory of their youth.

Turns out, there were quite a lot of romanticists like Daemyung in the school.

Also, it seemed that the wordmemories worked well on other students as well as even Dowook showed concentration before the broadcast.

‘Its a pity that my sleep time is reduced, but this isnt bad either.

If photos were all that was left from traveling, the only thing that was left behind from the high school period would be the memories made with friends.

“I hope you can sound awkward, yet not awkward.

As for Maru, well… youre just good, so you can keep doing what youre doing.”

Yeondu put up three fingers in the air.

Her other hand was on broadcasting equipment.

Three, two, one.

The moment the last finger went down, the other broadcasting club member powered on the microphones.

Then cue.

“Uh, uh, have you had lunch everyone Today was chicken, right The competition mustve been fierce.”

Aram stuttered because she missed the right timing, but she soon calmed down and continued.

Maru gestured at Aram to calm down and followed up.

“Were half-way through October already.

The skies are high, and the winds are cool.

Its such good weather that its a waste to sit in class and study.

Thats why, today, we atOur Radio have prepared some stories about students passionately studying.

Thats right, regardless of how cool the winds are, students have to study.

Otherwise, wed get scolded.

Isnt that right, teachers”

He saw Yeondus hand gesture and pulled away from the microphone a little.

He could see the first years sitting in front of him giving him a thumbs up.

“Follow up.”

Yeondu quietly whispered.

Daemyung, who was reading the script, leaned forward.

The intro music started fading out.

After seeing Yeondus hand gesture that signalled the start, Daemyung spoke.

“I want to date someone.

Im not joking, Im serious.

But I cant fulfill that dream.

The reason Its because my school is an all-boys school.”

The audio drama began with some humor.

* * *

“The girls in my class say that your voice sounds good, seonbae.”

Maru turned his head around when Aram said those words.

“My voice”

“Yes.

Thats why I kindly told them that youre actually a really cold person and that your voice is just acting.”

“Good.”

“No way, why is your reaction so bland”

“Im a taken man, so it would be quite a pain for me to be popular among girls.”

“Jiyoon, Jiyoon, dont you think Maru-seonbae has a slight superiority complex”

Maru glanced at Jiyoon.

He saw her nodding slightly.

Then, the two met eyes and she saidyoure cool as though making an excuse.

He could treat Arams words as a joke, but Jiyoons actions hurt him a little.

“But I wasnt lying when I said that the girls like your voice.”

“Shes right.

A lot of them say that your voice is really relaxing.”

It was a compliment, so it wasnt bad to hear.

Maru smiled as he nodded.

“Are you going to Anyang immediately” Aram asked.

“Yeah, I should be.”

“I thought you were practicing with us since you came up all the way here, but I guess not.

Youre going to start ignoring us all once you actually become a famous actor, arent you”

“Naturally.

You didnt have to ask that, to know that, did you”

“I knew youd say that.”

“Stop, and start practicing already.

Once Daemyung and Dowook come, Im gonna leave immediately.

How can a student be awkward when playing the role of a student”

“Well see about that.

Im going to become used to it soon.

Jiyoon, lets try this out once.

You too, Bangjoo.”

When the 2nd year students were absent, the leader was Aram.

She looked like someone who would fool around without a care when left alone due to her personality, but she was actually quite meticulous in nature and did things that she wasnt asked to do.

She was someone who knew when to play around and when to be serious.

Though, the downside to that was that she played around too hard and she ran out of energy quite quickly.

Maru stood in one corner of the classroom and watched the first year students practice.

Although they started off laughing, they looked very serious when they began practice.

“Were here.”

Just then, Daemyung and Dowook came, bringing some kimbap from the restaurant in front of the school.

“Then Im leaving.

Good luck with practice.”

“Have some of this before you go.”

Dowook pointed at the kimbap.

Maru took out one roll of kimbap wrapped in aluminum foil.

“Ill eat it as I go.”

“Goddammit.

You should really sit down when you eat.

You should really take some slack.”

Saying that, Dowook threw him a drink can.

Maru said goodbye to everyone as he ate a piece of kimbap.

The first year students waved at him.

Even here, Bangjoos voice was loud enough to echo across the corridor.

‘Looks like Ill be just in time if I go now.

He walked down the stairs while checking the time.

“Maru.”

When he raised his head, he saw Daemyung grabbing onto the handrails.

“What Got something to say to me”

“Uhm… I might be overstepping my bounds here, and it might not be necessary to tell you this at all, but it was on my mind for some time.”

“What is it”

Maru turned around to face Daemyung and smiled.

“You know, during lunch.”

“Lunch”

“When we talked about girlfriends.”

“Oh that What about it You want me to recommend you a place to go”

“Ill be thankful if you do, but before that….”

Daemyung hesitated once again.

Maru didnt urge him and quietly waited.

There should be a reason that such a cautious fellow was having a hard time talking about it.

After scratching his head for a while, Daemyung made a very faint smile and spoke,

“We are still kids.

Im not saying that youre a kid.

Youre a little different.

But whether its me, or Jiyoon… or your girlfriend, I think were still kids.”

After saying that, Daemyung became flustered for a while before sighing.

“You might be late.

Get going.

I didnt mean anything much when I said that, so just ignore me.

It was a little awkward, right Sorry about that.

I guess I held you back for nothing.

Even I dont know what Im trying to say here, haha, hahaha.”

After saying goodbye, Daemyung climbed up the stairs and disappeared again.

Maru listened to the fading footsteps before turning around.

“What did he want to say”

The kimbap in his hands looked limp and swayed up and down.

* * *

Maru leaned on the wall as he drank some water.

This was a short break time after practice.

“Give me some as well.”

Sooil walked heavily towards him and sat next to him.

Maru pointed at the fridge.

“Its too hard to go there.”

“How do you even breathe then”

He passed the water bottle he was drinking from to Sooil.

Sooil took a sip before becoming limp like a sponge that soaked up water and lied down.

“Youre making such a big fuss even though you\'re still young.”

Although Ganghwan said those words, he also approached them and lied down on the floor.

When Maru glanced at him, he licked his lips before saying,

“Its fine since Im old.”

“And I remember you telling me that youre still young.”

“Its fine because Im a creature thats somewhere between young and old.”

Watching them, Hanna saidbull**.

All three men laughed.

“But dont you feel like youre putting more effort into the prior play than the main play”

They created a few skits in order to gather people before the main play.

Due to the characteristics of street performances, it would be hard to gather an audience if they didnt have anything to pique their interest.

Therefore, it was understandable that they were preparing some skits, but the problem was how much they practiced it.

“For the main play, were pretty much just setting up the stage for someone else to talk, so it doesnt really require a lot of effort.

Since the play is mainly led by the audience, we can only pray that they will lead us well.”

“At this rate, wouldnt the audience just leave after the skits” Sooil asked worriedly.

“Then we have to use our secret move.”

“A secret move”

Maru was curious as well so he stared at Ganghwans lips.

“Geunsoo.”

“...Lets just practice.”

“If we bring Geunsoo, people will probably gather.

If that doesnt work, well call Suyeon as well.”

“Thats such an incredible plan, in so many ways, that I cant even say anything about it.

Oh, right, did you decide to drop the honorifics with Suyeon-noona You always had a hard time dealing with her,” Maru asked.

“Were in the same company now, and I have to see her face frequently, so I should get close.

She must be a good woman if you get close to her.”

“Senior, I mean, hyung-nim.

Youre uncomfortable with her, arent you”

“Yeah.

Actually, I still call her Miss Suyeon.

Shes five years younger than me, but its still Miss Suyeon.

That woman is so scary to get close to.

I feel like shell drain my energy.

In that sense, Hanna is so perfect.

Shes practically a dude!”

A bottle full of water was flung at Ganghwan.

Ganghwan quickly dodged.

Had he been a little slower, he might have seen some blood.

“Maru, you seem like… youve become quite close to Miss Suyeon.”

Ganghwan approached him and said in a small voice.

“Its a business relationship, not a private one.”

“But you call her noona though.”

“Lip service shines more with business relationships than with private ones.

Rather than that, what were you planning to do during company meetups”

“What do you mean I just have to try my best if I dont want to get branded by her as someone bad.

Sooil, youre quite close to Suyeon, arent you”

Sooil smiled and nodded.

“I should really join an agency as well, urgh.

Boys, why dont you stop chatting and practice already” Hanna said as she put her hands on her waist.

The three men said yes before standing up.
