Dare yan, anta?!
Hearing what sounded like her brother's voice...
Kemiko turned around quickly, a spark of excitement in her eyes.
But when she looked up, she froze in surprised.
Stumbling back a step, she blurted out...
Kemiko
"Dare yan, anta?!"
[Who are you?!]
Kemiko
"Nande Onii-chan mitaina koe nan!?"
[How do you sound like my brother!?]
Seeing her startled reaction, a hint of guilt flashed across his face.
???
Whoa, didn’t mean to spook you..
My bad, sorry about that.
He said with a slight smile, his tone playful yet kind.
???
Scare.. I didn't mean to scare you.. I'm sorry.
The change in his voice surprised her once more..
Kemiko
How can you do that?
Kemiko
You sounded like my brother..
But now not.
He playfully smirks at her confusion.
???
Let's just say.. I'm build like this — it's my specialty — my talent and something that makes me.. ME
Kemiko
"Sugoi!"
[Amazing!]
???
"Sugoi wa!"
[It's amazing indeed!]
With a playful grin, he replied, mimicking Kemiko's voice as if it were his own.
Kemiko
Eeh! You do girls' voices too?!
"Meccha sugoi wa!"
[It's super amazing!]
???
I do..
I do all sorts of voices you know.. Kemiko.
Kemiko, aren't you?
Kemiko
Eh? You know my name? How do people just know my name?
...
Are you a student council too?
Kemiko
Ah.. Like Jihye onee-san!
???
Oh, you met her already? That make sense..
???
Yeah.. Yeah, like Jihye—She's my best friend.
But I'm from the Security Department.
She's the Head of the Health Department—Proud of her.
Kemiko
Sugoi.. Sugoi sugoi!
Kemiko
Nee, Jihye onee-san's best friend.. What's your name?
You don't tell your name?
???
About my name..
Well, it's a bit complicated.
Hyun
But you can call me, Hyun.
Jihye calls me Hyun Dae : )
Kemiko
Hyun.. Hyun Dae..
That sounds Korean.
Kemiko
Wait, are you Korean too?? I thought there's only one Korean student in one year..
And Jihye onee-san is Korean..
So why--
Eh! Are you from a different year? Or is it just a nickname from Jihye onee-san?
Hyun chuckles at Kemiko's confusion and he likes her curiosity.
Hyun
Nope! We're from the same year, G94.
"Hyundae" is a nickname..
I'm not considered as a student from Asia here, I'm a student from Northern Europe. 🏴
But I am half Korean—tho my parents want me to just forget about it.
Kemiko
So one parent European and one parent Asian?
Hyun
Exactly!
My father's South Korean but I guess he has a problem with it.. He gave all his kids our mom's surename.
Hyun
I like the Korean side of me.. and I love the nickname.
So I'm keeping it.
Kemiko
Sou ya..
Hyundae-san, omoroi Kako motteru yanna!
[Oh I see.. Hyundae-san, you've got an interesting backstory, huh!]
Hyun
Everyone does.. Don't you think?
Hyun
And hey.. I'm done with my shift, want me to show you around?
Kemiko thought for a moment and then nodded.
Hyun led her through GPPS, pointing out places and explaining what they were for.
She asked questions along the way.. about the school, the facilities, and even small curiosities.
He patiently answered, adding small jokes here and there to keep things light.
They chatt and laugh—Their conversation flowed naturally..
...and she felt herself enjoying his company more than she expected.
Eventually, they arrived at the girls' part of the school.
Kemiko paused, confused...
Kemiko
Hyundae-san..
I thought boys weren't allowed here?
Hyun
Normally, we're not.
But I 'need' to meet a friend from the Security Department...
He leaned in slightly and whispered~
Hyun
She's the deputy. Cool, huh?
Kemiko
Eh! The deputy is a girl?!
"Honma ni kakkoii wa!"
[It really is cool!]
Hyun
The strongest one in G94 that is...
Before parting ways, he casually pointed to a nearby convenience store.
Hyun
Want me to show you how to use your card to buy something?
They'll probably teach you during orientation since we get a monthly allowance, but it’s pretty simple.
Hyun
Plus, who knows? I might even treat you to something.
Hyun
Is that a "yes" or a "no"?
Kemiko
Umm.. I do want to know how to use this thing..
Kemiko
"Matte ya!"
[Wait for me!]
