Even identifying the person behind the Golden Circle.
Kim Hyun-seong’s life has not changed.
He still went to school and concentrated in class, but the teachers responded by whispering that he was a really toxic person.
In the meantime, there were many changes at school.
A new principal and vice principal were appointed, and a new teacher took over the temporary homeroom position. Contrary to expectations that Golden Circle might resort to manipulative actions during the reorganization. No particularly disturbing movements were found, and each day passed in a precarious manner, like the eve of a storm.
The center.
Kim Hyun-seong, who exists in the eye of the typhoon, suddenly fell into deep thought, contrary to his calm appearance.
‘We have thoroughly investigated Yoon Hyun-min over the past few days, but there is only circumstantial evidence. No evidence has been found to definitively identify the person behind the Golden Circle. All personal meetings with Golden Circle members were justified, and the benefits gained through the Golden Circle did not deviate from the natural flow. He is a thorough human being. There is no loophole to the extent that his identity would not have been discovered in the distant future.’
Lim Cheol-hyung’s visit.
That was a variable.
A person named Yoon Hyun-min was not easy enough to create a justification through an article even in the face of uncontrolled variables. So I became even more confident that it was Yoon Hyun-min. The lives of those in power cannot be discussed within the scope of common sense. One may show blind favor simply because he is the successor to the Taeyang Group, but without a single exception, there was an appropriate justification.
of course.
Give and Take couldn’t be said to be perfect.
Since it was clearly a structure where Yoon Hyun-min benefited more, it seemed like they had prepared for an emergency with an appropriate justification.
‘If there had not been a rift in the country, variables like Lim Cheol-hyung would not have occurred in the first place. Even though it may take some time, you need to be fully prepared. In the end, as I have to agitate public opinion, a weapon once used will lose its power.’
In the prison of a vegetative state.
Kim Hyun-seong thought of numerous ways to take down the mastermind.
Although much of the preparation had already been completed, from now on it had to be transformed into a plan suitable for Yoon Hyun-min. Fortunately, these situations did not make me feel anxious. Although it was difficult to control my emotions over the murderous intent on Yoon Hyun-min, I was able to calm down knowing that the person behind it had been identified.
The high point was right in front of me.
Now, with the final finish approaching, Kim Hyun-seong persevered, killing his presence like a wild animal stalking its prey.
“Everyone please enter carefully.”
“Thank you for your hard work!”
School is over.
It looked like a normal day.
I calmly packed my bags and headed home without any problems.
And when I left the school gate.
“Student Hyunseong Kim. “Let’s talk for a moment.”
An unexpected and mysterious person blocked the way.
* * *
The identity of the opponent.
It was reporter Bang Hyeon-tae from Jeonghan Ilbo.
He, with his sparsely grown beard and shabby appearance, had many twists and turns before he came to visit Kim Hyun-seong.
Daesung Mirae corruption case.
At the time when Jin Gyeong-hee and Jang Won-gi were swept away, Bang Hyeon-tae heard these words from Kim Pan-ho.
“Reporter Bang Hyun-tae must know that there are ‘powerful people’ behind this incident. Take a look at Hyunseong Kim. “If you look back on Kim Hyun-seong’s life, you may gain the greatest insight into your reporter’s life.”
Kim Pan-ho’s words.
It stimulated curiosity.
Jeonghan Ilbo received information from Kim Pan-ho this time and moved forward, but it was not the kind of media company that would follow Kim Pan-ho. Publishing articles accurately based on facts. Because he pursues a just journalist in his own way, he showed interest in the case itself, not because it was Kim Pan-ho.
Kim Hyun-seong case.
People who know how Korea operates did not know that there was a golden circle behind it.
the problem is.
The question is, why did this become such a big deal for barely a high school student?
Bang Hyeon-tae, who would have shown interest even if Kim Pan-ho had not told him, began digging into Kim Hyun-seong’s past from then on.
A few days like that.
The more he dug into the past, the more shocked Bang Hyeon-tae became.
‘Hey, what on earth is this?’
The first incident.
So, when Hyunseong Kim entered Cheonil High School, the Golden Circle seemed to be targeting poor students with excellent grades as usual. The actions of Park Min-cheol’s gang and the words mentioned by Shin Young-min. When calculated comprehensively, it was a situation that could have emerged quickly, but what was surprising was Kim Hyun-seong’s response.
All the perpetrators.
I threw my life into the gutter.
Not only did he completely destroy the Golden Circle’s intentions, he swallowed Cheonil and created his own force to conquer Daesan. He couldn’t believe it at first. So I went to a few people to confirm the truth, and when I asked them about the whole incident, they said this with pale faces.
The first is Cheonil’s teacher.
“… … What I can say about Hyun-seong is that the truth that the reporter knows was reduced if it was reduced, and was not at all illusory. To put it bluntly, I wish Kim Hyun-sung would continue to attend Cheonil. All of Cheonil’s teachers must have noticed Hyeonseong’s feelings. “If anything, it would have been said that Cheonil belonged to Kim Hyun-sung.”
The second is a student from another school.
“Kim Hyun-seong? It was really amazing. He suddenly declared that he would wipe out all the gangsters in Daesan, and soon after, he really did it. From what I heard, he fought in dozens of battles. “He’s real.”
The more you sell, the more you sell.
The more you know.
I had doubts about whether this was real.
Kim Hyun-seong, who was just a high school student, was obviously a poor student with no background before high school. However, in just one year, he exceeded a thousand days and ate the great mountain. The most puzzling part about him is that upon entering his third year of high school, he gave up his stable life in Daesan and headed to Seoul. Moreover, looking at the disciplinary committee incident that occurred immediately after transferring to the school, Kim Hyun-seong seemed like a person who was prepared for trouble with the Golden Circle from the beginning.
And now.
“… … Does this make sense?”
Bang Hyeon-tae looked at the sky with a mesmerized face.
result.
It was clear that a high school student was engaged in a fight with the Golden Circle.
What kind of group is the Golden Circle?
Although it is a group that is openly mentioned among journalists, the name value of the people involved is so high that it cannot be touched lightly. No matter how great a media company it is. The Golden Circle was an opponent that had to risk its neck. In fact, Jeonghan Ilbo also tried to cover the Golden Circle, but it was so big that it was always answered that it was impossible.
Such an opponent.

Kim Hyun-seong hit.
As Kim Pan-ho said, the actions Kim Hyun-seong showed over the past two years were not common sense.
“… … “What on earth are you thinking?”
That moment.
Bang Hyeon-tae made a decision.
I need to meet Kim Hyun-seong in person.
* * *
moved to location
In a leisurely cafe, Bang Hyun-tae got to the point even before the coffee was served.
“I will get to the point without going round and round. Student Hyunseong Kim. “What are you thinking?”
“Is that the main point?”
“I mean! What on earth are you thinking about opposing the Golden Circle? This time, we investigated student Kim Hyun-seong, starting with the Daesung Mirae High School corruption case. It was really amazing. Since my first year of high school, I have been doing great things in Daesan, and in my third year of high school, I transferred to the middle of Gangnam and started an all-out war with the Golden Circle! None of this was normal. “If student Kim Hyun-seong is not intentionally conflicting with the Golden Circle, I cannot understand his current actions.”
Hyunseong Kim stared.
Seeing that there was no answer, Bang Hyeon-tae continued.
“In fact, for journalists like me, the Golden Circle is already somewhat of a known force. A vicious group that uses minors as an excuse to share power with each other. Even though we clearly know how the power is maintained, the reason why many media outlets, including the Jeonghan Ilbo, have not even mentioned the ‘goal’ of the Golden Circle is because the power is overwhelming. We cannot bear to touch them, who can be called the Korean cartel. Such forces. Student Kim Hyun-seong touched it.”
“I still don’t think that’s the main point.”
“No, really!”
I was speechless.
This situation.
It was very serious.
Bang Hyun-tae, who had been agitated for a moment, controlled his emotions and looked at Kim Hyun-seong’s expression.
Even when such an important issue was mentioned, there was no change in his facial expression.
“If things continue like this, student Kim Hyun-seong will be murdered. I’m sure. There is no way that they, who caused a large-scale incident like the officetel incident, will leave student Kim Hyun-seong, who maintains a hostile attitude, alone. therefore. Let me help you. “We may not be able to do anything about the Golden Circle, but if we stop the hostility and write a good article, we may be able to secure the safety of student Kim Hyun-seong.”
Bang Hyeon-tae’s suggestion.
It was a favor.
He was truly worried about Kim Hyun-seong.
I was convinced that he was in danger if things continued like this, so I chose to come to him like this even though it was not good for me.
He was a good person.
And in fact.
Kim Hyun-seong knew Bang Hyun-tae.
‘Golden Circle Exposure Incident. When the suicide note was discovered, the reporter who rushed at it like a mad dog was Bang Hyeon-tae.’
I was lost in thought for a moment.
how will we do it.
At that moment, a media company was needed.
A media company like a moth that will actively participate in what will happen in the future.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“What if? “If there was a chance to destroy the Golden Circle, would you take it?”
“What is that… … !”
“I appreciate you taking care of my well-being, but I don’t need that favor. However, if you are interested in the offer I mentioned, please prove your willingness. The late child of National Assembly member Lee Kyung-cheol. What kind of heinous things is that scum doing at school? “If you investigate that case and expose it to the world, then I will trust you and tell you everything I think.”
Bang Hyun-tae’s eyes wavered.
It was different from what I expected.
I came here to help, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.
At the same time.
I felt confident.
Hyunseong Kim is not just a high school student.
It was definitely not the reaction of an ordinary student.
Hyunseong Kim spoke again.
“One month from now. “If we don’t see results within a month, we will pretend that today’s meeting never happened.”
* * *
I left the cafe.
The information I just mentioned.
It was a time bomb.
The moment you expose the relationship between Lee Kyung-cheol and the Golden Circle, your life will be in danger, no matter how much you are a reporter.
But if you still go forward.
It was worth using Jeonghan Ilbo.
It didn’t matter if it didn’t live up to expectations.
Several media companies that took down Kim Pan-ho’s words were already in the candidate group.
I went back home right away.
An incident occurred at the officetel, but despite the chaos, Kim Hyun-seong did not choose to move.
Rather, it was decided that it would be burdensome for the Golden Circle to live in the place where the incident occurred.
Ding.
[This is the 12th floor.]
I took a step.
The moment he arrived at the familiar door, Kim Hyun-seong’s expression hardened.
‘There is someone.’
Under the door.
A piece of transparent tape was lying on the floor.
Just in case, I put an inconspicuous piece of tape on the door.
But the fact that it fell on the floor meant that someone unknown had broken into the house again.
‘The aftermath of the officetel incident has not yet subsided. Making such a bold move means that they will deal with me even if it means excluding people’s attention. ‘It’s right to back off now that you don’t know what’s inside.’
It was a common sense decision.
But I couldn’t turn around.
My heart was pounding.
From the moment I identified Yoon Hyun-min, my blood kept boiling.
‘As much as I take risks, I will gain something.’
There was no reason to open the door and go in.
The data would not have been discovered because it was stored in a secret space in the officetel, and as proven in past incidents, the police could not be trusted. But backing away can make you look scared. Death should never seem like an easy solution, and whoever is inside has a chance of gaining some information if they defeat them. What we need now is a clue to catch Yoon Hyun-min. Now that he was standing on the tightrope heading to the high ground, Kim Hyun-seong could not miss even the slightest possibility.
I picked up my cell phone.
Beep.
[4]
I sent a text message.
It was a sign of danger.
Soon, the people hired by Go Chang-beom will arrive.
Kim Hyun-seong took a breath, took something out of his pocket, and put it on his hand.
It was a knuckle.
Now that there was no need to display the incident, there was no reason to rule out weapons.
The bruises on my face haven’t even subsided yet.
Nevertheless, Kim Hyun-seong clenched his knuckle-covered fists, entered the familiar password, and opened the door. If he finds a number he can’t afford. He planned to fall back immediately and join up with reinforcements.
Squeak.
thud.
The door opened.
I could see the scenery inside.
It was as expected.
Several unfamiliar men and one man.
As Kim Hyun-seong was about to go inside, his eyes widened.
‘no way.’
This.
It made absolutely no sense.
Among the numerous possibilities, there was no scenario like the present.
A person who appears to be the leader.
A man with a neat appearance showed a gentle smile when he spotted Kim Hyun-seong.
“You are Kim Hyun-seong.”
Hyunmin Yoon.
He who has to hide his identity.
Kim Hyun-seong appeared at his officetel.
