20. Aftereffects (2)
Nam Yeon-seok.
I did enough research about it in advance.
As the principal of a correspondence high school, he does not commit corruption as openly as Oh Dae-hwan, but he has old-fashioned thinking and says that bastards should be punished with a rod. There was a famous incident in the past when a student confronted Nam Yeon-seok with his eyes wide open, and his teeth were knocked out by a punch from Nam Yeon-seok, who had once learned boxing.
at that time.
Nam Yeon-seok said.
How dare, where, how arrogant.
His words expressing pride were enough to prove what kind of person Nam Yeon-seok was.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“The principal will not like the reputation of the communication high school being tarnished by this incident. There were teachers at the school, but a student from another school committed violence. If you don’t punish me clearly, everyone in Daesan will criticize the high school’s lax response, and the blame will fall entirely on the principal. But what do you think will happen if ‘Jung Hae-min’s incident’ becomes known?”
“… … .”
I was speechless.
Kim Hyun-seong and Jeong Hae-min.
I put them both on the scale.
Constantly weighing things, my head was spinning rapidly.
“At that time, it doesn’t just end with a violent incident. This is an incident where a student from a communication high school received a huge amount of compensation and even drove a student from another school into a suicide attempt. Not only will communication high schools be harshly criticized, but as educators, they will also be responsible for failing to teach properly. Even so, the perception of correspondence high schools in Daesan is not good, so if this incident breaks out, how will people view Nam Yeon-seok, the principal of this school? Oh, and don’t doubt my words are true. “We have already recruited the victim of the Jung Hae-min case and secured all the testimony and evidence.”
“So, what are we going to do? “What should I do when a scum like Jung Hae-min causes accidents?”
Barak, I screamed.
He was an outsider.
Nam Yeon-seok showed a mixture of embarrassment and anger in a situation where he was being forced into a situation without giving him a way to live.
It was the reaction I expected.
The reason Kim Hyun-seong openly visited the communication high school was because he knew that this man, Nam Yeon-seok, was sufficiently corrupt.
“I have a suggestion.”
“proposal?”
“yes. Please just ignore the violence I caused as if there was no problem. So that students can no longer commit school violence and that they have no choice but to care about me. It means setting a precedent. “If you do that, I will reveal ‘Jung Hae-min’s incident’ after he is expelled.”
“That means… … Does this mean that you will expel Jeong Hae-min from school before that and relieve the communication high school of its responsibility as much as possible?”
“that’s right.”
Kim Hyun-seong’s attitude.
Kim Hyun-seong’s actions.
Hyunseong Kim’s suggestion.
Everything was absurd.
Nam Yeon-seok swallowed a groan and frowned.
No judgment was made hastily.
The incident that occurred at the communication high school deserved to be punished, but if Kim Hyun-seong was punished, he was not confident that he could handle the aftermath. Isn’t there an uncomfortable background called Myungjin Construction in the first place? However, if Jung Hae-min was abandoned, the future time bomb could be removed and the situation could be resolved as ideally as possible.
Hyunseong Kim drank water.
Seeing that he still needed some time, he glanced at his watch and spoke in a calm voice.
“I’ll give you just 10 minutes to think about it.”
* * *
Communication high school’s health room.
Jung Hae-min, who had fainted for a moment, swallowed a groan and opened his eyes with difficulty.
“… … “Off.”
“are you okay?”
Unlike questions asking about status.
The teacher’s gaze towards Jeong Hae-min was cold.
I explained the situation in a blunt tone to Jung Hae-min, who was still unable to come to his senses.
“You fainted for a moment. Her face was disfigured because she had been beaten so badly, but fortunately, there were no serious injuries and she was treated easily. So, what on earth are you thinking, getting into fights at school? “If I had been hit even slightly wrong, I would have either woken up in the hospital room or not been able to open my eyes.”
“… … “What about Kim Hyun-seong?”
“Him? “I am now taken away by the teachers.”
Memories came back.
Kim Hyun-seong suddenly came in.
And the fight that happened.
Although I had no memories of what happened afterward, I could have predicted what would happen if I had been taken away by the teachers.
‘Even though I was robbed by Kim Hyun-seong, it wasn’t that bad. Since the teacher confirmed that he came to someone else’s school and openly assaulted me, he will never be free from punishment. It’s better. Let’s hold on to this somehow and get Kim Hyun-seong punished. So that they cannot touch me, at least in this space called the communication center. The moment you appear in front of me again, recidivism will be grounds for sending you to juvenile detention center.’
I got up from my seat.
I headed straight to the teacher’s office.
For Kim Hyun-seong’s punishment, he must be a powerful witness and victim.
You will need it right away.
I made a plausible plan in my head, but the situation I actually faced was different from what I expected.
Nam Yeon-seok said.
“You are the victim? Ha – indeed. The world has become so much better. This is a world where people say they were the victims because they were hit first and beaten up a bit. So, self-harm blackmail is popular these days. Jeong Hae-min. All the kids have already testified. Hyunsung Kim came to talk to you, but you attacked Hyunsung Kim first by swinging his fist. “In the world, that kind of situation is called ‘justice defense.’”
“What do you mean? I attacked first. Absolutely not. Kim Hyun-seong suddenly came to see me… … .”
“so. “Who is the witness who will testify to that?”
“The kids saw it. “All the kids saw it!”
Jung Hae-min’s face turned pale.
It was unfair.
I didn’t expect a situation like this.
Seeing Jung Hae-min shouting in frustration, Nam Yeon-seok smiled bitterly.
“Didn’t I just make it clear? All the kids testified. As you said, after putting together what the children said, every single one of them pointed out you, Jung Hae-min, as the perpetrator. Jeong Hae-min. Just because you have a lot of scars doesn’t mean you’re a victim. “You swung your fist first, and as the principal of this school, I should punish you, who used violence as a weapon, rather than Kim Hyun-seong, who opposed violence.”

“f*ck, what bullshit is that!”
Kwaang-!
Jung Hae-min kicked the desk.
Words didn’t make sense.
punishment?
I had no intention of receiving anything like that.
Kim Hyun-seong obviously touched her first, and he has scars on his face, so if he goes to court, it will be to his advantage. Testimony and evidence were not required. Whether it was self-defense or something else, the messed up face will prove it all.
Nam Yeon-seok looked around.
In a quiet space where no one was present, he stuck his head in and whispered in a quiet voice.
“Hey, you know my name is Byeong-seon Moon, right?”
“… … !”
“The conversation ended with that student testifying against you. This is not a problem that will simply end in a violent incident, but a problem that will spread into judgment against you for forcing an innocent student to attempt suicide. Do you know what I mean? If you continue to insist that you are innocent, it means that we have no choice but to insist that your punishment be stronger than now. therefore.”
We made eye contact.
High school students don’t know.
Jung Hae-min was left speechless by the adult’s cold and cold eyes.
“If you don’t want to fall into the abyss of life, just shut up and get out of school, you bastard.”
* * *
A few days after that.
Jung Hae-min looked blankly at the sky.
It took just a moment for his life to collapse, like a rolling dark cloud.
withdrawal from the school.
And my parents’ unemployment.
The father suddenly opened the door and barged in, punching Jung Hae-min in the face several times with a wide-eyed look on his face.
“This bastard. “What on earth were you doing at school!”
Crack, clap, clap!
Jeong Hae-min’s father.
He was a worker at a construction site.
He was also a person with quite a bit of experience and had no worries about retirement as long as he used his experience, but he was told to quit overnight. Of course, Myungjin Construction was in the background. For those who controlled Daesan’s construction industry, it wasn’t difficult to fire a worker with no connections.
The justification was sufficient.
Under the pretext that his son had committed serious school violence, he said that he could not accept the father of such a bastard.
It was a harsh hit.
Domestic violence was a daily occurrence for Jung Hae-min, but on that day, he was hit with a deadly force.
I ran out of the house.
There was no other way but to run away.
The friends who had known Jung Hae-min during this time did not receive any calls from him, and after wandering around for a while, the sun was already setting. A sight where the clear sky was covered with dark clouds and soon turned black. For some reason, it felt like that was his life, and tears came to his eyes.
‘Where on earth did it go wrong?’
Did you touch Kim Hyun-seong?
You accepted the Golden Circle’s request?
Why did you bully the kids in the first place?
It was a meaningless worry.
If we were to find the starting point of his life, he lived every day sowing the seeds of disaster.
It was then.
Ugh.
My cell phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Jung Hae-min hurriedly answered the phone, fearing that it might be a call from a friend who had not abandoned him.
Take off.
[long time no see. It’s me, Byeongseon.]
“… … Moon Byeong-seon?”
[Yes, Byeong-seon Moon.]
The pupils shook violently.
Moon Byeong-seon.
A victim whom he had pushed to the edge at the request of the Golden Circle.
I didn’t know he would contact me first.
In fact, if it weren’t for Kim Hyun-seong, Jung Hae-min would have remembered Moon Byung-seon as a good example of someone who earned him a lot of money.
[I heard your news. You got expelled from school and your parents got fired from their jobs. Shall I tell you some more interesting stories? Joo Dong-jun. Their house was completely ruined too. Loan sharks were raiding the school and destroying it, and I, who dropped out of school, went to the school to watch. I couldn’t take my eyes off the sight because of how thrilling it was. Oh, you don’t know who Joo Dong-jun is? The client you made me harass, who put in a request to that X-like organization called Golden Circle, is none other than Joo Dong-jun.]
I soothed my mouth.
I couldn’t say anything.
I wanted to retort and get angry, but I reacted blankly, as if my thoughts had hardened.
[And Hyunseong said that. Not only the client but also you who received the request. Rather than end with this ordeal, I will definitely crush your life. You said it before. I think I was born with athletic ability, so I decided to become a fitness trainer later. So, I remember going to the gym every day to build my strength and show off my muscles. That dream. You will never achieve it.]
“Well, what is that… … .”
“hey.”
Moment.
I got goosebumps.
A familiar voice was heard right behind me.
Jung Hae-min, frozen in place, slowly turns his head.
[Because from today onwards you won’t be able to use your hands properly.]
“long time no see?”
Bae Seong-ho and his gang.
They were looking at Jung Hae-min with cold faces.

Communication high school incident.
It was a huge impact.
Kim Hyun-seong really accomplished the conquest of Daesan, and clearly showed what would happen if things got out of his control.
The rumor spread quickly.
Not only schools that are interested in fighting.
Those in the humanities who are devoted to their studies also heard the news.
“Is this what I heard from my friend? They say that because of Kim Hyun-seong, all schools where school violence was frequent have become quiet. Hyunseong Kim already proved it. If it goes out of its control, it will wipe out the entire group, no matter how many times they are brought in, and if it escapes, it will come to the school and trample it. “The most horrifying part is that even though there was an outcry at the communication high school, Kim Hyun-seong didn’t have any problems, let alone discipline.”
“creeps. “How is that possible?”
“There’s a rumor that Kim Hyun-seong is going to be a loser. Principal of Cheonil High School, Myungjin Construction, etc. “Everyone is on Kim Hyun-seong’s side.”
Conquer Daesan.
It was bound to be a hot topic.
Everyone talked about him at the end of class, and suddenly one student asked this question.
“But does this have anything to do with us? I didn’t hear an outright warning from Kim Hyun-seong, but what happens if school violence occurs at our school? “I wonder if Kim Hyun-seong is going to come and start talking shit.”
“no way. “You only control shitty schools full of scum, do you want to control schools with nerds like us?”
This incident.
The center was the SNS page.
Usually, the focus was on schools where school violence was rampant, and the humanities field generally had no choice but to escape the incidents. This did not mean that perpetrators did not exist in the humanities. Even in the humanities world, there were kids who were picked on by Kim Hyun-seong and got ripped off, but the schools that formed a faction and attacked Kim Hyun-seong head-on were all in the business world.
Children who have lost a lot.
They took a step back.
I didn’t want to get caught up in a gang fight and ruin my school life.
It was then.
As I was passing through the hallway talking excitedly, I bumped into someone’s shoulder.
Pop!
“ah!”
“sorry.”
The other person immediately handed me an apology.
In fact, it was the mistake of a student named Han Byeong-su, who had been talking excitedly just a moment ago.
Even though I bumped my shoulder while not looking straight ahead, I frowned when I saw my friend passing by after apologizing.
“Hey, why don’t you f*cking apologize properly?”
Stand tall.
I stopped walking.
My friend turned around and said.
“… … “I told you so, I apologize.”
“Oh sorry. Is that an apple? Do it right. “My shoulder hurts because of you.”
“I don’t think there’s any reason for me to apologize any further than this. You bumped into me first, but I still thought it was my fault, so I just apologized. “It’s not a situation for you to get angry.”
“Oh yeah?”
Byungsoo Han chuckled.
Even in this school where people risk their lives for studying.
Of course, there was a hierarchy.
Regardless of whether I was a nerd or not, it was impossible for there to be no conflict at the age of 17 when my blood was boiling.
The world was the same.
Both the humanities and business fields.
There were perpetrators everywhere.
Byungsoo Han approached right in front of his nose, looked down at his opponent fiercely, and grinned.
“So, Hyunjin. “You’re saying you can’t apologize properly?”
Friend’s name.
It was like that.
The opponent is a prestigious family from Daesan.
It was Kim Hyun-jin, a first-year student at Daesan Science High School.
