Chapter 18: Reason for joining the Literature club

Andrew is currently sitting at the teacher's table having a big grin on his face.

Andrew went to the white board and write a question. The question written in a cursive writing and it written "Reason for joining the Literature club" as soon as they saw the question the felt like they were in an actual class room and there is a teacher who is discussing about the topic, which males everyone bored. Andrew knock the whiteboard with his hand to gather all the attention to him. "Since last time, you throw lots of question to me, This time it will be my turn." Andrew smiles and look to Ethan "Isn't it fair, Mr. President?" He asked. Ethan flinch and don't have the choice but to agree.

"since Ethan is our club president, I will first asked the question to the new members up to the old ones" Andrew announce the sequence making Ethan relax for a moment. "Be reminded guys that it's the best to be honest to your reason. I will give you guys a minute, I need to pass the paper that prove I am you club adviser." Andrew stan and point to Luna "Luna, you know that it's still not the same right? Pls advice your members to know that you still need to talk to the School President" Andrew reminded them. "Yes sir, I already file an appointment to him yesterday. We were schedule to meet after dismissal." Luna said as a confirmation. Andrew nods and left the room.

"He said he was about to pass the paper right? Should we stop him?" Amber said.

"Yeah! It's not too late! We can still find a teacher who is easy to convince but lazy to do anything!" Seven agreed to Amber.

"My… reason why I join the club is just to have more friends...…" Bella said honestly and look so pitiful. Luna tap her back but trying to not laugh.

"That's the lamest reason I have ever heard" Jae laugh so hard.

Everyone look to Jae as if he was so different. It looks like everyone except Jae has the same reason why they join the club. Bella put her both hands on her waist and look to Jae on disbelief "Let's be honest okay? We join club just to have fun not to do the actual thing" she said. Then suddenly Andrew open the door and went inside. He put the aircon to the max level to be extra cold, making those people who is silently nervous makes more nervous due to the coldness. "Luna, do you have a copy of the members list in this club?" Andrew asked. Luna stand up and take the record inside er bag. "Yes sir, I actually ready another copy in case you need them" Luna said. Suddenly everyone felt so proud towards Luna how she can be so reliable even though there is nothing happening in their club until Sir Andrew showed up.

Andrew examined the record and smiles "Thank you Luna for including the detail of who is the new members" Andrew is pleased. Andrew put down the paper and look to Yumi. "Mr. Nam we will start to you. Have you prepared your answer?" he asked, Yumi nods "I will try my best to answer honestly" Yumi said.

The questioning have been started.

"Mr. Yumi Nam, What is the reason why you chose the Literature club?" He asked.

Yumi look to Jae not even bothered by everyone. "Actually I have a former club but I left." Yumi said. Andrew was now intrigued and look to where Yumi have been staring. It was Jae. "Why?" Andrew asked. "Because I lost my purpose there, so I decided to join this club." Yumi glance to Andrew trying to telling him by his gesture that what he says saw true.

"there different club here in the campus, why Literature club?" Andrew asked.

"Because there is a certain person I wanted to be with, that person might never remember me but it's just a past. I just want to be with that person and start new as a club member" Yumi said and was currently looking to the floor. Yumi didn't even look to anyone, but everyone knew that it was Jae who is he been describing. Andrew nods as he can understand what Yumi trying to say "I just wanted to say that it was romantic and one-sided, I wish that person will stay by your side up until the end" He said honestly. "Thank you Mr. Nam for participating the club activity, you may now go back to your seat." Andrew said.

Seven stand up and went to Andrew.

"So Mr. Peterson. What is your reason choosing the Literature club" Andrew asked.

Seven Exhale for a moment "Well… I am just an average guy, my highest grades is average. If I study hard it will be average, if I don't study I guess I wouldn't pass second year. What I mean is I am not genius." Seven paused for a moment. Then he nods to himself telling that he is now ready again. "I wanted to graduate in a proper way so that I will get a proper job in my future, I mean, I actually poor but for some reason an anonymous sponsor me to study in this school." Seven said.

Amber raised her hand for a question, "So your saying that you are not part of the Scholarship gang? But you got somehow an anonymous sponsor?"

She asked clearly. Seven nods. "Since I am average I need to maintain my grades so I need some additional grades which joining the Literature club. I chose literature club because.. You know… it's more on a chill club. I would rather go here than to do more efforts for a club.. Cause I think it feels so exhausting" Seven tried to explain.

Andrew smiles "I heard you are best friend with Samuel, I never thought that he would change to a better person. I actually asked him what is his reason for a sudden change.." Andrew said and saw Everyone was waiting for him to continue what he is telling. "He said, there is a two person makes him change. The one makes him realized and the one shows him how to change. He said it was you who show him to be a better person." Andrew said.

Unexpectedly, Andrew saw Everyone was about to burst their tears. Then Andrew look to Seven, different what others feel, Seven was touch and smile genuinely. "Thankyou Mr. Peterson" Andrew said while looking to Seven went to his seat.

Yuri stand up and went to Andrew with a salute position, while hiding a Forest dew lemonade soft drink to her another hand. "Sir! I am Yuri! And my reason why I chose Literature club is because Luna is a club member too!...." Yumi suddenly take a bite of her burger before continuing. " The time I was a transferee, I saw Luna walking at the side of the road. Luna saw a granny was about to cross to another road, when the granny was about to run over, Luna tried to shield herself to protect the granny and then help the granny to cross the road" Yuri's reason was full of admiration and innocence, making Yuri looks so adorable. "Thank you Ms. Yuri. That was admirable and cute at the same way" Andrew chuckles.

"Sir, Thank you Sir!" Yuri said then went to her seat.

Amber sigh and walk towards Andrew.

Amber touch her neck, looking awkward and all. "Well, they want me to look for a club. They didn't say specific so I chose the most funny club" She said. Ethan raise his hand and asked Amber "so you mean were a joke to you?" Ethan asked. Amber raise up his both arms "I didn't say that, what I mean is this club is fin to go" She explain. Andrew look to Amber for a moment. "Thank you Ms. Amber, it seems there is really a story behind it, but we will not asked if you don't want to" Andrew said. Amber bow to Andrew then go to her seat.

Jae stand up and went in front.

"My reason is just simple, I idolize Luna, it's not like Yuri but I think I idolize Luna deeply." Jae try to think how can he explain it better. "Well maybe it's because I am one of her childhood friend? That I see every side of her life and every side of her personality more and I understand them, Luna is like a big sister to me, she is my role model. She is cool in both different ways." Jae said and smile to everyone. Andrew observe Everyone's expression and it says that Jae is right about Luna. Andrew silently agree to them since he can see her from the first day that she is reliable and a good person. "Thank you Mr. Jae. It is good to idolize and look to a person as your role model, but don't forget it's also healthy for believing yourself. You will find your true strength on your own self and your own decision." Andrew said.

Luna stand up and went towards Andres, then she faces her classmates.

"so, why I chose this club" Luna started.

"Just for a context, Me, Ethan, Red and the two seniors which is an alumni now.. We might look the original members of the club like a founder, but were not. Literature club has been already existed way back at the past but the club suddenly got disbanded because of the rumor that this room.. Where we located was a hunted. It's about the Benjamin incident." Luna said. Yumi raise his hand and asked "So that means after the club disbanded, it takes lots of years before the club re-establish again? And that time that the club re-establish was because of the two seniors?" He asked for confirmation. Luna nods as a confirmation.

Everyone filled with information that they didn't know, it's a news to them what is the back story of the club. "So fast forward to when we were first year, we were invited to be a club members of the literature club. We accept, then I got assign to be their secretary up until now… I chose this club because our two seniors was so interesting, we did interesting, we discover something and write it on the journal… if Jae thinks of me as a big sister, I think to our senior our big sister and big brother" Luna ended her story and take a seat.

Then Ethan's turn, they all look to their club president and was waiting to hear some interesting reason. Ethan sigh "Well I am similar to Luna, but I I still have another reason" Ethan said in a serious face.

Ethan stand.

"The reason why I chose this club is…" Ethan pause.

"It makes me curious!, and I am the one who convince Luna and Red to also join so I did a big carry for our group" Ethan scratch his nose as if e did something awesome and he really didn't not to intend to brag about it.

Yuri just stare at Ethan in disappointment.

"THAT'S SUCK" Amber shouted.

"BOOO!!!"Seven said.

"at this point, this is not a news to me" Jae and Luna said while they both shook their head.

Yumi just hold his temples to calm down.

"WHAT'S WITH YOU GUYS?!" Ethan complain.
