Chapter 11

Name:Life, Once Again! Author:Wise Dragon
The second years said their names and phone numbers one by one.

“Now then, starting from Geunseok, say your name and phone numbers as well. Be sure to save it, too. We’ll all have to be friends from now on, if we’re going to get together for a full year,” Danmi said. Geunseok started speaking pretty much immediately. His voice had depth to it. The type that just stuck to your ears like glue. Was this what talent entails for an actor? Eventually, they managed to finish off at Iseul. “Well, now that that’s over, why don’t we just talk for a bit? Tell us about your life or something. Hold on, I’ll go get some snacks at a market.”“I’ll go!” Dojin shouted. Danmi waved him off with a smile.“You’re good. We’ll be making you do plenty of work in the future. Just enjoy yourselves for now. Alright?”Danmi walked out with Yoonjung. The door closed shut with a creak. And.“Now then, juniors.”Minsung’s expression changed completely. The boy picked up a PVC pipe with a menacing look, silencing the room.‘Called it,’ Maru thought. It was almost weird that the seniors weren’t trying to put them in their place. “I’ll tell you this now, but we really do want to get along with you. I love smiling. Alright? But sometimes, other things are needed too.”He banged the PVC pipe on the wall, making the other kids flinch.“This isn’t just for show, alright? I’ll hit people. Regardless of gender.”The first years looked at each other in fear. Except Maru. He was realizing more than ever before how important experience was. This was child’s play compared to being threatened in an actual company. It was pretty cute, actually. He could feel how much the boy cared for the club. The boy clearly didn’t grab that pipe to feel power. Actually, Maru could see the boy’s hands trembling just a little bit. Probably his first time grabbing it after learning it from his seniors. Maru turned to look at Joonghyuk, who was also trying to look as calm as possible. It was easy to tell how nervous he was, though.“You get it?” Minsung said. “Yes!”“Good.”Minsung threw away the pipe. He looked a little more relieved now. “Seriously, let’s have a good time from now on. This is a good club. We’ll make lots of great memories here, depending on how hard you work. I’ll be hard at work with Joonghyuk as a part of the staff, so we won’t spend as much time with you. But the female seniors will, so treat them well, alright?”“Yes.”He was being honest. Maru could easily see how much Minsung cared for the club. The frowns on the first years slowly started to go away as they realized the same thing.“Yoonjung’s pretty strange, though. You’ll just have to get used to that.”Pft.Joonghyuk ended up letting out a small laugh from the back. The first years weren’t able to laugh, though. Well, all except one.“Heh,” Maru let out. He looked away when he noticed so many people looking at him.“Maru! I like you. People should smile.”Minsung slapped Maru’s shoulder lightly with a smile. This was probably what he was like from the start. He’s just not fit for intimidating at people with a pipe in hand. If something bad really does happen… Maru looked at Joonghyuk. That guy would most likely be the one to swing that pipe.“We’re here!”
