Fluttering Feelings Ch. 40

Sign: Bride, Miss Oh Seo-young
*tap*
Man: ...
Man: Oh, the guest list...
Seol-a: .....
*clack clack*
?: Seol-a!
?: Hold on...
?: So it was you...
Seol-a: .....
Seol-a: Ever since long ago, I was never an existence that was received well by other girls.
Seol-a: Mom, dad, and my three older brothers.
Seol-a: Ever since I was born, I was always surrounded by more men than women.
Seol-a: So maybe that's why.
Seol-a: It was easier being around guys, than being around my own gender.
Seol-a: Most girls didn't really like me.
?: ...
*smile*
Seol-a: .....
Seol-a: I could feel it.
Seol-a: And that feeling only grew as I got older.
Seol-a: To the point where I was sure of it.
Seol-a: I thought that it couldn't be helped.
Seol-a: Because thinking that way was a lot easier.
Seol-a: "What am I supposed to do if they hate me?"
Seol-a: I didn't want to particularly put in any effort either.
Seol-a: Although I had no idea how exactly I was supposed to "put in any effort" to change  this.
Seol-a: Even though I didn't feel like I was missing anything,
Seol-a: There were occasional moments when I felt lonely.
Seol-a: Things that only girls could have in common with each other.
Seol-a: I never experienced any of that, not even once.
Seol-a: To tell the truth, I was always curious.
Seol-a: And my 17 year old self was admitted to an all-girls school.
Seol-a: An all-girls school...

Mom: Seol-a. You have to eat your breakfast quickly and get to school soon.
Seol-a: Yes mom.
Seol-a: Where's dad?
Mom: He left already.
Jin-woo: Gi-rls~ An all-girls school student~
Jin-woo: I wanna go to an all-girls school too! Girls, girls~ (small text): No matter where I look, girls everywhere <3
Seol-a: Stop embarrassing yourself. (qc/n: literally "be crazy, but in a refined way")
Jin-woo: Are you gonna be able to fit in over there?
Jin-woo: I heard from my GF that if you show just one flaw, it's all over for you. (qc/n: literally "you won't get anything")
small text: Baek Jin-woo 21 years old
Seol-a: That applies everywhere.
Jin-woo: Even so~
Seol-a: And why are you asking me about fitting in. It's none of your business.
Jin-woo: Ho~ As expected, you're quite tough~ (small text): Nothing less from my lil' sis keke (qc/n: literally sounds like "keu keu", like a snickering laugh)
Seol-a: While I answered bravely, I was still nervous on the inside.
Seol-a: What should I do if they hate me?
Seol-a: What should I do if I accidentally give off the vibe that I don't like them?
Seol-a: Since I've always attended co-ed schools, it was hard for me to guess what it was going to be like.
Seol-a: Anyway, I felt like I had various different thoughts at that time.
Seol-a: With my heart about to burst from anxiety,
Seol-a: I took my first step into the empty classroom, which reminded me of a pristine forest.
*empty-*
Seol-a: Did I come too early...
*drop*
Seol-a: With all of these unknown complications,
Seol-a: My unwavering anxiety,
Seol-a: And the cold, winter air all mixed together in that classroom
*clatter*
Seol-a: ?
Seol-a: ......
Seol-a: I met Yu-ji.
Yu-ji: ...Are the others not here yet?
Seol-a: Even now, I can't forget that moment.

?: How many years has it been...
?: It's been quite a long time.
Seol-a: ....
Seol-a: ...It has.
