8. When compromise is impossible (2)
100 points in all subjects.
It was an unusual result.
Due to Kim Hyun-sung’s sudden rebound, rumors about him quickly spread like wildfire throughout the world.
And of course.
The destination of the rumor was the principal’s office at Cheonil High School.
[principal! Is that really true? I heard that a kid who was playing outside and ranked 10th in the entire school suddenly ranked 1st in the entire school.]
[Didn’t you say that this test was difficult?]
[teacher… … .]
Beyond the phone.
Contact from parents poured in.
Cheonil High School is a prestigious school in Daesan.
Most students who wanted to study at Daesan entered Cheonil, and their parents were naturally very interested in their midterm test scores. To them, Kim Hyun-sung’s sudden rebound was not at all good news. As the ranking was pushed down one level due to that one person, parents started calling after hearing the news.
Oh Dae-hwan expressed his disapproval.
“That’s right. “She was always a good student, but I had no idea she would suddenly excel like this.”
[Did you give them any special privileges? I heard that a thousand teachers are surrounding that child.]
“What kind of big deal is that? Cheonil is a famous inscription representing Daesan. We teach our students with sincerity and do not give any preferential treatment to their grades. “Isn’t that a disgrace to our faces?”
[Then do you go to a separate academy? I want to know where the academy is.]
Why?
Oh Dae-hwan felt that this situation was difficult but also rewarding.
“I completely understand your mother’s feelings, but as far as I know, Hyunseong is not attending any academy. This means that the top grade in the entire school is the result of Cheonil High School’s ‘excellent education system’. So, please tell everyone to focus on class. “No matter how popular private academies are these days, the most important thing for test scores is to attend classes diligently.”
Pop.
I hung up.
I felt refreshed inside.
Students who said they studied a little at Cheonil did not take school classes as enthusiastically as Kim Hyun-seong. From elementary school until now. I went to several academies a day. Many teachers complained that they were tired from all-night academy classes, and that they dozed off during school classes.
How deplorable is this?
however.
Things have changed.
Kim Hyun-seong, who did not attend any private academy, proved the value of the school to everyone by earning first-place grades in the entire school.
“Hmm~♪”
I couldn’t help but hum.
This score.
It was unusual.
The level of difficulty was so high that it was said within the school that a perfect score was absolutely impossible to simply be considered first in the entire school. But what does it mean to get this perfect score? It was a point that made people look forward to Kim Hyun-seong’s next performance. For example, taking first place in a nationally evaluated mock exam, or having your grades improve so much that you proudly enter the best Korean university in Korea as the top student.
It was well worth expecting.
Oh Dae-hwan felt that life was really sweet when he saw a nationally promising star appear for the first time in a long time.
They say, ‘The story of life is Saeongjima (塞翁之馬).’ When Kim Hyun-seong had an accident, I was quite depressed at the thought of losing Jeong Min-ho’s parents, but thanks to Kim Hyun-seong, I not only established a relationship with Myungjin Construction, but also achieved great results representing Cheonil. If Jung Minho had continued to bully him, the current top student in the school wouldn’t have existed.’
He smiled softly.
Kim Hyun-seong was truly a blessing.
Adding his own grades to the background of Myungjin Construction, I couldn’t help but like him as a principal.
Jung Min-ho?
There was no need for that guy anymore.
Oh Dae-hwan’s dream is to make Cheonil a prestigious school.
If Kim Hyun-seong was a student who met all the conditions, this could be said to be the most ideal situation.
‘The problem is that Kim Hyun-seong continues to cause accidents. If it becomes known to the world that he is a problem child, it will only be a matter of time before Cheonil’s reputation, which was raised through this midterm exam, falls to the ground. Life’s good and bad fortunes are unpredictable, but if you prepare in advance, you can make problems seem like they are not problems. From now on, regardless of Go Chang-beom’s suggestion, for the sake of my dream, I need to somehow have Kim Hyun-seong graduate in perfect condition without a single flaw.’
My thoughts became more solid.
I was a student who had to do well anyway, but now I had both justification and will.
Oh Dae-hwan immediately called somewhere.
“Yes, Youngcheol.”
Youngcheol Kim.
I had to meet him.
* * *
Don’t worry about life.
In fact, it was a word more suited to Kim Young-cheol than to Oh Dae-hwan.
It was quite dark when Kim Hyun-seong took the leash, but after meeting Oh Dae-hwan, the world changed.
“My little brother. Do you remember last time I asked you to take a good look at Kim Hyun-seong? I know he’s been doing well enough so far, but since Kim Hyun-seong is ranked first in the school, we can’t allow him to have even the slightest flaw. You know what I mean, right? Kim Hyun-seong is not only the person who led Myungjin Construction, but also the greatest product Cheonil has created. “If we continue to be ranked first in the entire school like this and enter Korean University, we will leave behind a really good example as a prestigious school.”
Up to that point, it was the expected category.
And the remarks that followed gave confidence to Kim Young-cheol.
“As you know, Kim Hyun-seong is in the first year of the first year. Since my younger brother is the student in charge, it means that if the school provides compensation, it is a sufficient justification. Performance bonuses will be paid starting next month, so enjoy these small rewards from now on. Until Kim Hyun-seong graduates, and in the future thereafter. “I will definitely lead my younger brother as a helpful companion for Cheonil.”
A resolution to save the trash.
At that time, it was just words.
But now that there was a clear reward, Kim Young-cheol’s body trembled as he left the principal’s office.
Dongajul named Kim Hyeon-seong.
It was a golden copper wire.
At first, I had no choice but to hold on to it in order to survive, but now that things were going ideally, I felt excited. He was a truly amazing guy. It is absurd that Myungjin Construction was brought in, but it was ranked first in the entire school. In a situation where Kim Hyun-seong had no choice but to be held by a leash anyway, the current move to make sure Kim Hyun-seong was taken care of and enriched was very ideal.
‘Okay, this is it. Even if the sky falls, there is a hole that will rise up. There is no way Kim Young-cheol will fall like this.’
I was excited.
I visited Kim Hyun-seong.

I tried to prove my value to him by sharing at least some kind words of kindness.
In particular, since Oh Dae-hwan was careful about ‘blemishes’, there was a need to prevent any unexpected situations.
however.
“teacher. “Please change your seat.”
Now is the time to rejoice.
It is time to strive for the top grades in the entire school.
Contrary to that expectation, the moment I encounter Kim Hyun-seong’s cold face.
‘… … ‘f*ck, how on earth is this going?’
Kim Young-cheol instinctively felt that something was wrong.
* * *
I moved my seat.
In a quiet space where people did not pass by, Kim Hyun-seong got straight to the point.
“Do you know it’s the Golden Circle?”
“… … Golden Circle?”
Kim Young-cheol seemed completely unaware.
It was worth it.
The Golden Circle is a group based in Seoul that operates in the shadows, and it has been several years since its identity became known. There was no way that local teachers knew about the Golden Circle.
It was not important other than what Kim Young-cheol knew.
What was important was what he could do in the future.
“Get the general idea. There is a group called the Golden Circle, and they are very displeased with the current situation in which I have achieved excellent grades. So there will be a big movement in schools soon. “Shin Young-min, who received the request from the Golden Circle, will somehow try to drag me into the abyss, even if only for his own survival.”
“Well, what is that… … .”
It was an embarrassing statement.
It’s called the golden circle.
A request.
Kim Young-cheol felt like his thoughts had stopped, but Kim Hyun-seong had no intention of explaining it to him in detail.
“Actually, you have already joined the Golden Circle. The reason Park Min-cheol’s gang harassed me was because it was a request from the Golden Circle in the first place. Do you know what I mean? Teachers are not free from this massive collective crime, so if I make a mistake, it means that you too will end up together.”
“… … Well, anyway, I think of you as a shared destiny. So what should I do? “Is it okay if I stop Shin Young-min?”
Affair.
Myeongjin Construction.
Relationship with Oh Dae-hwan.
Even if it’s because of a weakness or for one’s own benefit.
Kim Young-cheol had no intention of betraying Kim Hyun-seong.
I don’t know what the Golden Circle is, but I did know that Kim Hyun-seong emphasized his role in this incident. And he wanted to solve the problem in his own way, as much as possible. According to Oh Dae-hwan’s request, this was an incident that would cause a huge dent in Kim Hyun-seong, so Kim Young-cheol showed a very nervous and anxious look.
At that look.
I laughed.
Kim Hyun-seong smiled fiercely, revealing his malicious intent.
“no. As always, there is only one thing I wish for. onlooking. No matter what happens in the future, the adults’ disregard makes it seem like it’s nothing. That’s enough. therefore… … .”
My emotions turned cold.
The moment you confirm your perfect score.
In a series of situations in which others were shocked and cheered, a fierce war had already begun in Kim Hyun-seong’s mind.
“Prepare your mind in advance.”
That moment.
Kim Young-cheol knew.
The fact that the word ‘what is happening’ should never be overlooked.
* * *
Sigh-!
Blood splattered.
Shin Young-min’s face turned violently and he fell helplessly on the floor.
Up there.
A huge shadow was cast.
“Youngmin. I said it clearly. If you don’t achieve the results you paid for, you will never be safe. But first place in the whole school? Instead of lowering your grades, you ranked first in the entire school? It’s really fun, isn’t it?”
Iron Cruck.
The man took off the luxury watch on his wrist.
It was Kang Tae-gu.
After hearing the news about Cheonil, he immediately called in Youngmin Shin.
Shin Young-min is called the devil senior in A Thousand Days, but he trembles in fear in front of Kang Tae-gu.
“S-sorry.”
“sorry? Yeah, I should be sorry. however… … .”
First warning.
In response to Golden Circle’s message, Kang Tae-gu showed a fierce expression.
“Let’s get it right first.”
“evil!”
Bah!
Puk puk puk puk.
It was brutal violence.
He kicked the face of Shin Young-min, who was kneeling, and then trampled on Shin Young-min, who was curled up like a daughter-in-law, without mercy. I didn’t care about his face, body, or anything like that. Even though he was screaming and blood was pouring out of his face, Kang Tae-gu didn’t put anything in his hands, as if he really wanted to kill Shin Young-min.
The first warning of the Golden Circle.
It was a danger signal.
If the problem is not resolved despite the first warning, a second warning will be issued and the person involved will be punished.
At that time, even Kang Tae-gu was not free.
Kang Tae-gu turned Shin Young-min into a blood clot, then exhaled heavily and caressed his sore wrist.
“Youngmin. This is your final warning. If we don’t achieve satisfactory results this time, I will make it so that you will never be able to use one of your limbs again. Keep this in mind. “This is your last chance.”
“… … Off, off. Ah, I understand.”
“okay.”
That was the end.
Kang Tae-gu put on his jacket and left the alley.
Shin Young-min was lying on the floor.
It hurt.
Pain surged throughout his body, but what mattered to him now was his anger at the situation.
“… … 김현성, 이 개새끼.”
Kang Tae-gu?
client?
Golden Circle?
Anger deflected them.
Knowing that he was someone who could not dare to express his anger, Shin Young-min passed the entire problem of this situation onto Kim Hyun-seong.
If it weren’t for that.
If Kim Hyun-seong had been treated obediently.
He wouldn’t have ended up like this.
From now on, it is the edge of a cliff.
There was no compromise.
If you mess with Kim Hyun-seong, many problems will arise, including Myungjin Construction and Cheonil’s principal, but Kang Tae-gu’s anger proves that there is no option in the first place. Whether he was expelled or not, whether his life was over or not, he had to achieve something meaningful to survive for now.
Quickly.
I gritted my teeth.
Swallowing blood, Shin Young-min called someone.
Take off.
“hey. Gather all the kids who listen to me. “Everyone, no one left out.”
Eyes shining fiercely.
It was a very clear malicious intent that transcended realistic issues.
