9. Harvest season (1)
19 years old.
It wasn’t a very long life, but Shin Young-min could definitely say that today was the worst day of his life.
How much time has passed?
Shin Young-min, who was staring blankly at the plasterboard ceiling, sighed heavily.
“… … under.”
It was dark.
I remember going to Kim Hyun-seong to tear him apart, but the moment I squared off with Kim Hyun-seong, my memories were cut off. It looked like she had been hit, as her chin was tingling. What was certain was that his friends’ views of him were not the same as before. The demon-like appearance of Kim Hyun-seong, who broke her arm, came to mind occasionally.
finished.
It was the moment when the King of Thousand Days fell. Shin Young-min closed his eyes tightly to the realistic problems that washed in like the tide.
A few days have passed since then.
Fortunately, despite the misfortune, the condition of my arm was not bad.
Since I often get injured while practicing mixed martial arts, the doctor’s opinion was that although I broke my arm, I didn’t need surgery. With the cast on, I stared blankly at the ceiling as usual.
For a moment, I felt at a loss.
Due to two reasons taking over my mind, I had no idea how to live from now on.
The first is Kang Tae-gu.
‘Why can’t I contact you?’
Two days ago.
No matter how many times I called or texted Kang Tae-gu after the text message saying [Request Ended], there was no response. In fact, what I was most worried about at first was the Golden Circle punishment. So my heart was beating like crazy the whole time I was lying in the hospital room, but Kang Tae-gu did not send me any communication regarding this incident.
I got scared.
It was better to get hit quickly, and something unknown seemed to be eating away at my vitality.
The second is Kim Hyun-seong.
Shin Young-min had to worry for a really long time after receiving a text message from him.
[I’ll only ask you once. Tell me the identity of the client. Then, you will finish it here.]
My heart grew cold.
Saying that he would end it here after going this far meant that he still had revenge left on him if he didn’t reveal the identity of the client. A feeling of fear came over me. The more he experienced Kim Hyun-seong, the more he became convinced that he was a predator that Shin Young-min could never handle.
The world of the fittest diet.
My will was broken.
Since acknowledging Kim Hyun-seong, Shin Young-min sincerely wanted to find the best way to ask him for forgiveness.
but.
There was no way.
I really didn’t know the identity of the client, and after thinking about it for a while, I sent a sincere text message.
He says he doesn’t know anything.
Please just take a look.
widely.
I put down my cell phone.
My head hurt.
In a situation where I have to be discharged from the hospital soon, in a situation where I have to return to reality.
Shin Young-min closed his eyes tightly once again.
* * *
next day.
Shin Young-min was discharged from the hospital.
He calculated all the hospital bills himself, and his expression distorted as he was hit by the cold wind of reality.
“A real old bastard. “You do everything you can, but how can you not come visit my son when he is sick?”
I trudged on.
No matter how crappy it may seem, home is home.
Since the only place I could return to was home, I had to take the bus and walk for a while to arrive in front of a familiar building.
Building apartment.
The situation at Shin Young-min’s house was not that good either.
As I entered the house, I felt as if my heart stopped.
“… … “What the hell is this?”
Inside the house.
It was truly a mess.
All the furniture had fallen to the floor and was smashed, and there was a musty smell due to poor ventilation, and soju bottles were rolling around on the floor. The thought circuit was completely stopped. Before I could fully understand what was going on, someone who heard footsteps came out of the room and rushed towards me.
“You bastard!”
puck!
It was my father.
Shin Min-cheol swung his fist loudly, but Shin Young-min had no intention of being hit by the clearly visible fist.
I could feel the aging years from the wrist I was holding.
Shin Min-cheol struggled for a long time, and in the end, he sat down on the floor and began to sob at the reality that it was not working.
“Keuok, kuok. I told you clearly on the phone. Don’t ever touch that kid named Kim Hyun-seong. Daesan Ilsu said that if you do that, you will definitely be given a deadline, so why are you ruining it all!”
I cried loudly.
A man over 50 burst into tears like a child.
“Youngmin. Youngmin Shin! Even if you’ve lived like a bitch all this time, there must be goodness. This house you live in, the side dishes you find when you open the refrigerator. Do you know that it just happens? Ugh, ugh. You f*cking idiot. Although her father did not do a good job of being the head of her family, she still struggled to maintain her family. “But you, who had no idea what responsibility was, completely put an end to it!”
Then I realized.
Seeing my father’s weakness for the first time.
Facing realistic problems that he was unable to express due to his strong pride, Shin Young-min finally entered the world of adults.
“We are done. “It’s completely over!”

A house in shambles.
A sobbing father.
A son who has become the object of resentment.
This was the reality of a person named Shin Young-min who left school.
* * *
The situation was like this.
Go Chang-beom.
He purchased a contract for Daesan Ilsu and announced that the apartment he had set up as collateral would be auctioned off due to the expiration of the loan period. In the process, Daesan Ilsu’s rice cakes came to visit. They shook the house as if it had nothing to do with Go Chang-beom, and warned that if they did something foolish, something funny would happen.
That was the situation over the past few days.
While Shin Young-min was wrapping his head in the hospital room, his family was pushed to the edge.
at last.
There was no way.
Even Shin Young-min, who had been living as an anonymous person, visited Kim Hyun-seong without realizing it when he entered the realm of reality.
and.
dump.
“… … Sorry.”
I got down on my knees.
Seeing the cold gaze looking down at him, he lowered his head and spoke in an earnest voice.
“I was really wrong. I should have listened to your warning and not moved the kids. No, I shouldn’t have accepted the Golden Circle’s request in the first place. I thought I could do something and crossed the line. I feel like I want to reveal the client’s identity and take revenge on him, but I really don’t know who the client is. You know very well that the Golden Circle is that kind of group. “The Golden Circle guarantees the client’s identity and ensures the unconditional success of the request in exchange for a certain payment.”
I was shaking.
I was at a loss.
Expulsion, auction, etc.
Practical issues floated through my mind.
Shin Young-min completely gave up his pride, ready to grab Kim Hyun-sung’s trouser legs.
“Please, please just take a look. I will do anything if you forgive me just once. If I tell you to bark like a dog, you will bark, and if you have any inconveniences while going to school, I will sort it all out. Seongho Bae? Jinwoo Park? I can solve all those bastards. “I will educate you so much that you will urinate when you see you.”
“why me?”
“… … huh?”
“Why should I forgive you?”
I raised my head.
The moment Kim Hyun-seong’s eyes met, a cold voice was heard in Shin Young-min’s ears.
“Sometimes there are people like that. People who don’t understand what people say. Even when I visited your classroom and when I warned you outside the school. I was serious. But you are the one who crossed the line. “The fact that you moved a thousand days despite listening to my warning means that you had the confidence to handle reality, right?”
“no. Absolutely not. “I was just stupid.”
“Yeah, that was stupid. “If you weren’t so stupid, you wouldn’t have stepped into the fire pit yourself.”
I bowed down.
I faced Shin Young-min and tapped his cheek.
“I’ll believe you when I say that I don’t know the client’s identity. Even as a member of the Golden Circle, there’s no way I could tell you everything because you’re just a mercenary. Since you came to me and asked for forgiveness like this, I will give you one last chance, even if it means your efforts are in vain. Just one month from now. Just hang on for a month. “If you prove your will during that time, I might forgive you for feeling sincere about your efforts.”
“Ha, a month? “What can I endure?”
“well.”
I got up.
Looking down at Shin Young-min, who had fallen into the abyss, Kim Hyun-seong smiled like a devil.
“Experience it for yourself. “What will happen in the future?”
* * *
They say the world changes overnight.
Shin Young-min felt those words keenly.
When he came to school for the first time in a long time, he realized that the eyes of his friends who looked up to him were different from before.
“omg. “This is Shin Young-min.”
“It’s better than I thought.”
“Anyway, it looks like X. “You’ve been the best at school and you’ve been showing off a lot, but you got ripped off by a young junior.”
“I know. “It must hurt your pride a lot.”
Whenever Shin Young-min passes by.
Friends gathered in small groups and whispered.
They only glanced at Shin Young-min and never spoke to him or showed any friendly signs.
It was devastating.
Just a few days ago, Shin Young-min was the king of the world, and he worked hard to impress not only his classmates but also his juniors. A closed space called school. Since Shin Young-min’s power was absolute here, no one wanted to be seen by Shin Young-min.
however.
It was different now.
The throne fell.
As a new era arrived, the friends realized that there was no power in Shin Young-min’s hands.
‘… … ‘Bat bastards.’
I suppressed my anger.
As Shin Young-min, who had entered the realm of reality, he did not want to ruin the situation any further.
One month as Kim Hyun-seong said.
What on earth does that mean?
If it meant simply having to endure humiliation like this, I was confident that I could bear it without much difficulty.
October has already arrived.
With graduation just around the corner, all I had to do was endure the disgust of reality and leave for a thousand days.
As I was organizing my thoughts, I suddenly felt someone’s gaze.
‘huh?’
We were classmates.
His name was Han Myeong-hoon, and he was the worst overall guy who couldn’t study or fight. Normally, the moment we made eye contact, he would have to turn his head away as if struck by lightning. However, Myung-Hoon Han seemed to have gone overboard today, as he did not avoid eye contact at all.
no.
Instead, I glared at him even more.
In the past, Han Myeong-hoon was a boy who would not have been able to even think about himself.
Shin Young-min wanted to slap him in the face right away, but he remembered Kim Hyun-seong and decided to endure it.
‘… … The world has really gotten better. A bastard like Myung-Hoon looks straight into my eyes. Youngmin, be patient. It’s only one month anyway. Let’s spend a month quietly, get a high school diploma, and start a new life.’
First, I avoided eye contact.
There was no other way.
Really, there has never been a day as long as today.
Shin Young-min, who quickly finished his morning class, had the unfamiliar experience of eating lunch alone, unlike usual.
The rice was boiled.
The fact that my friends, who would normally gather around me and chat loudly, are far away, and the situation where no one approaches me, as if I were a patient with an infectious disease. I swallowed all that disgust down my throat along with the rice. The more the situation became like this, the more rebellious I became and the more I wanted to survive the month.
It was then.
Grumbling.
“… … ?!”
Shin Young-min opened his eyes wide.
The cold sensation flowing down from my head, and the fact that it was the pure white milk from today’s school lunch.
I raised my head.
And the moment you check the other person.
“Youngmin. Hyeonseong says it’s okay to be like this. What do you think?”
Shin Young-min’s heart sank.
Myung-Hoon Han.
He was pouring milk on his head, showing the same ferocious smile as Kim Hyun-seong.
