5. Minor misunderstanding (1)
The day Kim Hyun-seong first visited the gym.
Park Jin-woo, who is recognized as the best first-year student at Cheonil High School, faced a very difficult situation.
Youngmin Shin.
He, who is famous as the devil senior in A Thousand Days, invited Park Jin-woo.
“Did you say Jinwoo? I will watch your back from now on, so I will definitely trample on Kim Hyun-seong, who made Min-cheol’s like that. He told me to make it so that I couldn’t act as a person in first grade. Do you understand?”
I nodded my head vigorously.
Rather than agreeing with Shin Young-min’s wishes, I felt like I had to do it because of Shin Young-min’s force of tapping my cheek.
And now.
Park Jin-woo had a headache.
If it had been a while ago, he would have trampled on Kim Hyun-seong without hesitation, but due to the Park Min-cheol gang incident, Kim Hyun-seong was known as a person to watch out for among the first year students at Cheonil High School. Just because Jinwoo Park exists doesn’t mean he’s recognized as the best. However, the fact that he single-handedly wiped out Park Min-cheol’s gang with the strong background of being the eldest son of Myeongjin Construction made me think that if I messed with him in the wrong way, he could end up in trouble.
‘The kids say Kim Hyun-seong is a completely crazy bastard. Regardless of whether he is good at fighting or not, problems are bound to arise if he messes with someone like Kim Hyun-seong. He’s a guy who hits you on the head with a lock to try to win a one-to-majority match, but there’s no way he’ll just take it easy.’
I was confident in the fight.
Jinwoo Park majored in wrestling in elementary school.
Although he stopped when he reached middle school, his enormous size made of flesh and muscle overwhelmed his opponents.
High school fights are all about physicality.
I don’t know if it’s someone like Shin Young-min who has practiced fighting professionally, but I can guarantee that someone who just fights like Kim Hyun-seong could be knocked out in less than a minute. What Park Jin-woo is worried about is what comes after that. Kim Hyun-seong might come with a weapon to retaliate, or he might bring Myungjin Construction’s eldest son to make trouble.
I was very annoyed.
I felt like rejecting it.
However, I knew that if Shin Young-min captured me, I would not be safe for another thousand days.
‘There’s a good reason why he’s called the devil senior. He’s the kind of person who beats me to the point where I break my nose just because I look him in the eye, so I wouldn’t be safe if I disobeyed Shin Young-min’s orders. Besides, Cheonil all follows Shin Youngmin’s orders. ‘I’m sure the second year seniors will come to me every day, threatening to kick me out.’
After school.
Even after returning home, my worries continued.
I had to do it.
Even though I couldn’t handle what happened later, I didn’t want to make a villain like Shin Young-min my enemy.
The day dawned.
Park Jin-woo, who was determined to trample on Kim Hyun-seong, encountered an unexpected situation before he could do anything.
* * *
“good job.”
“… … yes?”
Shin Young-min smiled brightly.
Park Jin-woo’s original plan was to trample Kim Hyun-seong during lunch.
However, as soon as the first period ended, Shin Young-min called him over and showed warm eyes.
“Jinwoo, you bastard. It’s hot. “I told you to deal with Kim Hyun-seong, so you went and trampled him that very day?”
“What is that… … .”
“I heard it all from first grade kids. Kim Hyun-seong came to school today, and his face was a mess. Still, I thought it would be difficult because he was the one who caused the incident, but it looks like he crushed it so clearly that he couldn’t fight back. I really like you. From now on, go somewhere and say that you are Shin Young-min’s favorite younger brother, and if anyone bothers you, tell me. Well, I don’t think there’s any kid in your age group who would bully you.”
Shin Young-min was excited and chattered.
Hyunseong Kim.
It was a problem for him.
I was having a hard time because I couldn’t solve the request, but this morning I heard a thank you from the client. Looking at Kim Hyun-seong’s facial features, it seems like he was hit hard. Shin Young-min thought that it was Park Jin-woo’s fault due to the timing, but the truth was completely different.
eve.
Kim Hyun-seong met Jeong Doo-cheol.
I went up to the octagon to receive instruction from him, and to prove my will, I endured until the end even though my nose was bleeding. The result was a mess of a mess. He achieved his desired goal and went to school as usual, but his other friends could not help but think that there was something special about his appearance.
And of course.
Jinwoo Park was pointed out as the reason.
Park Jin-woo was the only one who could make Kim Hyun-seong, who wiped out Park Min-cheol’s gang, do that.
Besides, isn’t there a justification?
Youngmin Shin said.
“Come out after school. “Let’s go out on the street together.”
“… … Okay, thank you.”
Park Jin-woo first laughed.
The English text was unknown.
As someone who doesn’t know anything about Kim Hyun-seong’s work, he came to the simple conclusion that good things are good things.
The problem was resolved on its own, wasn’t it?
From then on, I started laughing heartily.
“Seniors. If you have any problems like this in the future, please let me know at any time. I am Jinwoo Park. As a freshman at Cheonil High School, I will definitely resolve your concerns.”
“Baby, that’s cool.”
“Is that so, hahahaha?”
Rooftop of Cheonil High School.
So they burst into laughter over a minor misunderstanding(?).
* * *
A minor misunderstanding was actually beneficial to Kim Hyun-seong.
I thought Shin Young-min would move immediately due to the incident with Park Min-cheol’s gang, but no matter how long I waited, there was no special movement. They believed that Park Jin-woo had clearly trampled Kim Hyun-sung. If Kim Hyun-seong had friends who approached him, he would have told them the rumor, but from then on, his friends had a hard time with Kim Hyun-seong.
A week since then.
The swelling on my face has gone down significantly.
Kim Hyun-seong, who was going back and forth between school and the gym every day, suddenly noticed a friend sitting in front of him.
dump.
“I don’t think this is right.”

She had a face like that of a gisaeng brother.
Unlike his pretty face, he had a stocky physique, and Kim Hyun-seong’s name came to mind as soon as I saw him.
Kim Si-woo.
He was a handsome and popular friend.
He looked at Kim Hyun-seong and said.
“It’s a bit like that. Isn’t it too much to openly ostracize you when you haven’t done anything wrong? I couldn’t talk to him for a while because he looked different from the Kim Hyun-seong I remembered, but I don’t think that was enough of a reason to ostracize you like the other kids. So now, come with me.”
“You’re bullying me?”
“… … huh?”
Kim Si-woo’s eyes widened.
It was an unexpected reaction.
I thought Kim Hyun-seong was obviously having a hard time with being bullied, but he reacted as if he had no idea.
“Didn’t you know you were being bullied?”
“uh.”
“This is crazy.”
It was absurd.
This bullying.
This is not something one or two people can do.
It was something that all first-year students agreed to, but I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by the fact that Kim Hyun-seong didn’t know.
“After the Park Min-cheol gang incident, Park Jin-woo went around to each class and threatened the kids. If there is a child who gets even the slightest bit into a conversation with Kim Hyun-seong, he says he will harass him throughout high school. Did you notice anything strange while going to school? No one approached you. “He who usually gets along well with kids, why has he suddenly become so indifferent?”
As he said.
This was a problem that Kim Hyun-seong in his previous life should have been aware of.
But it was different now.
The close friend that Kim Si-woo remembers has long since disappeared, and Kim Hyun-seong, who spent a long time in a vegetative state, was inevitably accustomed to being alone. Bullying from friends? I didn’t even care about that. Whether he was bullied or not, there were things Kim Hyun-seong had to do right away.
Kim Si-woo said.
“Okay, let’s say you didn’t know. What’s certain is that no matter what Jinwoo Park says, I won’t listen to him. Do you understand? You and I have been together for ten years, since elementary school. “Even if I got beaten up by Park Jin-woo’s gang, I can’t see my friend being ostracized by the entire grade.”
My mind became clearer.
I forgot for a moment.
What kind of friend was Kim Si-woo?
He was the only friend who took his side and came to visit him when he was in a vegetative state.
* * *
Past life.
When I was being harassed by Park Min-cheol for a long time.
I had a friend who couldn’t tolerate their atrocities and came forward.
“f*ck you guys, let’s do it in moderation.”
It was Kim Si-woo.
Kim Si-woo came forward when Kim Hyun-seong was being beaten, and although it was only for a moment, Kim Hyun-seong was able to escape from the harassment.
The problem came later.
Kim Si-woo also suffered from bullying.
Just as they took down Kim Hyun-seong, Park Min-cheol’s gang moved systematically and persistently harassed Kim Si-woo. Kim Si-woo lasted a long time in his own way. He tried to take Kim Hyun-seong’s side somehow, but after he was beaten so badly that his right leg was broken, he did not pretend to know Kim Hyun-seong. The target of Park Min-cheol’s gang was Kim Hyun-seong in the first place. Kim Si-woo knew that if he became distant from him, he could survive as well as he did.
Just like that, Kim Si-woo was forgotten in my mind.
In those hellish days, no memories of the past remained, and Kim Hyun-seong became a vegetative person.
One day.
Kim Si-woo came to visit.
He looked at Kim Hyun-seong endlessly and said this in a tearful voice.
“… … I am so sorry. If I had stayed by your side until the end, you wouldn’t have ended up in this situation. But, I was really scared at that time. I couldn’t handle the fact that I had to get beaten every time I took a break, and I thought I was really brave, but I couldn’t even fight back. Ha, life is such a shit. “You weren’t the kind of friend who would live like this.”
Kim Si-woo cried for a long time.
Hyunseong Kim was a truly brilliant friend.
People who knew Kim Hyun-seong, adults who remember him, and all of them were so different from the beginning that they assured that Kim Hyun-seong would definitely succeed. That friend was living in a vegetative state. Kim Si-woo let out all the anger he had inside, and from that day on he never visited Kim Hyun-seong again.
Perhaps it was because of guilt.
The clear name of Kim Si-woo was buried in the back of my memory as I went through ten desperate years.
It had to be that way.
Happy memories?
Precious memories?
I couldn’t bear to remember those things.
I only thought about revenge.
It was only after encountering Kim Si-woo that it occurred to him that he also had a friend like this.
“… … don’t do it.”
“what?”
“Don’t pretend to be friendly. Jinwoo Park said that. He said he would harass people related to me. Don’t get in trouble for no reason, just act like other kids. “Because I can solve my own problems.”
“you really… … .”
Kim Si-woo frowned.
He was about to say something, but was unable to continue when the bell rang.
“Ugh, f*ck. Let’s talk about this issue later. But I have no reason to listen to you. Since I consider you a friend, I will solve my problems myself. So, don’t think about going somewhere after class.”
* * *
Kim Si-woo leaves.
The next class was held.
Throughout the class, Kim Hyun-seong could not shake off his thoughts about Kim Si-woo.
‘This life will be a series of cruelty. In the process of dealing with the Golden Circle, I won’t be able to solve all problems without shedding blood. If you accept Kim Si-woo, his future is obvious. Just as he suffered just because he was my friend, he will bring tremendous pain to Kim Si-woo in the days ahead.’
I faced reality.
All ties except family.
You will break off good relationships.
Family in and of itself creates a connection, but others may live separate lives.
Siwoo Kim.
That friend who was loyal.
I hoped that he would not step into muddy water like me.
Because I really thought of him as a friend, I will not have anything to do with Kim Si-woo in this life.
“This concludes class. Everyone, don’t forget your homework.”
“yes!”
An hour passed quickly.
Kim Si-woo will be visiting soon.
Kim Hyun-seong was organizing what he wanted to say to him, but no matter how much time passed, Kim Si-woo did not come to visit.
Have I given up?
It was rather fortunate.
Because there is no need to persuade.
Kim Hyun-seong, who was calmly preparing for the next class, heard the noise of his friends entering the classroom and talking.
“Siwoo, it’s done.”
“I know. “You got dragged away just because you had a little conversation with Kim Hyun-seong.”
Moment.
Kim Hyun-seong’s expression hardened.
What I just heard.
It tore the picture I had in my head to shreds.
