15. Malice (2)
It was very warm for winter.
Physical education teacher Kim Young-cheol mentioned outdoor classes for the first time in a long time.
“Now – the boys play soccer, and the girls play dodgeball. Divide teams into A and B, and Teacher Lee will shoot the winning team!”
“Oh oh!”
“Gazua!”
The atmosphere heated up.
Kim Young-cheol was famous for his dirty personality, but just as he had his shortcomings, he also had his strengths in being able to get along with students like friends. That’s how his athletic activities progressed. Since it was not mandatory, those who would not participate gathered in small groups on one side of the stands to watch the game.
“wow.”
“Look at Hyeonseong over there.”
“Wow, that sucks.”
The female students’ attention was focused.
soccer match.
At the center was Kim Hyun-seong.
As Team A’s striker, he received the ball and, taking advantage of his speed, immediately attempted to break through.
Pot.
Ta-ta-tak.
“Stop it!”
Team B was on fire.
Two defenders quickly tried to block Kim Hyun-seong, but he hesitated for a moment and used a phantom dribble to penetrate the space between the defenders. After that, it was an open chance. Seeing the goalkeeper narrowing the space, Kim Hyun-seong beat him and kicked the ball up.
Crumble.
“Gooooooool-!”
“Yes.”
Team A students cheered.
The female students cheered as Kim Hyun-seong waved his sweat-soaked hair and clenched his fists. In fact, some of the female students did not participate in dodgeball to watch Kim Hyun-sung play. Although his image has become rough due to recent events, Kim Hyun-seong was one of the most popular people in the first year of Cheonil High School.
Studying, exercising, fighting.
Nothing was missing.
Because he had a good personality and a handsome appearance, female students couldn’t help but fall in love with Kim Hyun-seong.
Seeing Kim Hyun-sung sweeping the field again, a female student whispered to her friend with a flushed face.
“Isn’t Hyunseong really cool?”
“Why don’t you at least confess?”
“Is that so?”
“Are you sure you want to?”
My friend’s eyes widened.
Choi Seon-ah, who mentioned confession, had a pretty appearance and was good at studying, so she almost never said she was confessing to someone. But she was quite surprised that she showed this much interest. Although she wanted to support Choi Seon-ah’s heart as much as possible, there was an awkward point where she could not support their relationship as a friend.
“But isn’t it a bit like that? You may not know Kim Hyun-seong from back in the day, but he fights too much these days. “For no reason, if you date a guy like that, it will rub off on you too.”
“That’s what they were arguing about.”
I’ve already made up my mind.
Choi Seon-ah didn’t listen to her friend’s advice.
Just then the game ended.
Choi Seon-ah grabbed the blanket covering her legs, stood up, and winked at her friend.
“I will be back.”
It’s winter vacation soon.
Before entering second grade, Choi Seon-ah wanted to express her feelings.
* * *
“Are you thirsty?”
Choi Seon-ah blushed.
Kim Hyun-seong looked at the strawberry milk she gave him with a sharp look in his eyes.
“Are you giving it to me?”
“… … huh.”
The favor of female students.
I was used to it.
From elementary school, middle school, and now to high school.
Kim Hyun-seong, who was the class president and model student, was always the subject of attention, and often received sudden confessions on a daily basis. But it was so funny that the other person was Choi Seon-ah. Choi Seon-ah was one of the three she suspected to be her client, and Kim Hyun-seong spoke to her with his kind face.
“Actually, I also had something to say to you. “Would you like to move for a moment?”
“What to say? huh! good!”
Choi Seon-ah smiled happily.
In a situation that felt like a signal to her, she chased after Kim Hyun-seong without any doubt.
The place we arrived at was a warehouse.
This is the place where sports equipment is stored, and Choi Seon-ah reacted by flinching for a moment, but then followed behind Kim Hyun-seong. I was confident that Kim Hyun-seong was not a bad kid. Although he has been involved in numerous fights and has a bad reputation lately, she remembers Kim Hyun-sung as a good person who would raise his voice for her friend.
Hyunseong Kim got his butt on the jumping frame.
He looked at Choi Seon-ah, who was looking at him with embarrassment, and spoke in a quiet, pleasant voice.
“I’ve been having a lot of problems lately. Do you know why that is?”
“… … Isn’t it because the kids were fighting? Park Min-cheol and Shin Young-min are all equally bad kids.”
“that’s right. Because he intentionally started a fight, I had no choice but to cause trouble. But what the other kids don’t know is that they all did that because someone told them to do it.”
“huh?”
Choi Seon-ah opened her eyes wide.
It was a sudden and unexpected remark.

She could not hide her embarrassment at the fact that there was someone behind the bullying.
No matter how she reacts or not.
Hyunseong Kim continued his words.
“So I dug my own trap to find out who was behind it. There were three suspicious people, so I had Jae-jin tell them different facts. Yoo Jin-young says that Kim Hyun-seong is having a really hard time, and that he might end up transferring schools if this continues. To Lee Jin-hyung, Bae Seong-ho and Kim Hyun-seong are actually putting on a show. There is no problem between the two. And finally… … .”
I laughed.
“Although the atmosphere is not good for you, don’t you think Kim Hyun-seong is doing better than you thought? I told you to say it like this. But the really interesting thing is that the spy I planted heard this story from behind the scenes. If Yoo Jin-young is behind it, he should be happy that the plan is going well, but if Lee Jin-hyung is behind it, he will be furious about some kind of plan. However, the person behind it responded by urging them to proceed quickly with the plan in a sluggish situation.”
Squeak.
I got up from my seat.
Looking down at Choi Sun-ah, who was stained with fear, Kim Hyun-seong revealed the face of the devil that he had been hiding.
“So that means you fell into that trap.”
* * *
After Choi Seon-ah left.
My friend, Oh Hye-ji had a strange feeling.
‘Why are you so late?’
If I had confessed, it would have come to a conclusion quickly one way or another.
However, gym class was over and recess was almost over, and Choi Seon-ah was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly she felt worried. His friends say that Kim Hyun-sung is a really good person, but his recent violent behavior made his close friend not like being associated with him.
‘What’s going on?’
This is school.
Nothing much will happen.
If you accepted the confession, the two of you would be laughing at each other, and if you rejected the confession, you might be crying alone.
Anyway.
I couldn’t make a fuss just because of the strange feeling.
It was then.
While preparing for the next class, I received a text from Choi Seon-ah.
[Hyeji. please help me It’s a warehouse now.]
“?!”
Jump up.
I got up from my seat.
It was clear something was up.
Realizing that the strange feeling had become reality, Oh Hye-ji hurried her steps.
It may have been just an accident, but for some reason, I felt that Kim Hyun-seong was involved in this problem.
like that.
Arrived at the warehouse.
“… … what? what’s the matter?”
I hesitated.
The atmosphere was strange.
Oh Hye-ji imagined that an accident had occurred inside, but Kim Hyun-seong and Choi Seon-ah were just facing each other with a small distance between them. My mind was complicated. It was nothing, so why did he send me such an urgent text message? I was about to ask again, but Kim Hyun-seong blurted out something.
“You go out.”
“… … okay.”
Choi Seon-ah took a step back.
When I made eye contact with Oh Hye-ji on my way out, I quickly lowered my gaze as if I had seen a ghost.
Oh Hye-ji also tried to follow Choi Seon-ah.
Until I heard Kim Hyun-seong’s voice.
“You should stay.”
At the same time.
thud.
The warehouse door was closed.
* * *
Flash.
Blink, blink.
The warehouse lights gave off a cool atmosphere.
In a situation where the world was repeatedly tinged with darkness and then brightened, Kim Hyun-seong told an unknown story.
“Common sense tells us that Choi Seon-ah is the culprit. Since the information that was leaked through the spy came out of the broker’s mouth, it would be common sense to be suspicious of him. But there is something really strange. “The objective facts point to Choi Seon-ah, but there is a reason why Choi Seon-ah can never be the culprit.”
Three candidates.
We investigated them through Go Chang-beom.
I wondered if I could find any evidence, but since the Golden Circle is a thorough group, there was no way to find out through a simple investigation. Then I discovered Choi Seon-ah’s uniqueness. It doesn’t prove she was the culprit, but she was at least very helpful in making a judgment.
“You know because you are close with Choi Seon-ah, right? Choi Seon-ah originally lived in Seoul, not Daesan, and she was not an only child. She had an older brother who was two years older than her. It’s such a tragedy. When her older brother committed suicide due to school bullying, Choi Seon-ah’s family was ruined, and her parents chose to give up everything and move to Daesan. That’s why Choi Seon-ah’s parents hate the bullies who lead school violence. She used her position as a high-ranking government official to root out school violence, but these are not the people who will absolutely sympathize with her. I know it well. “The terrible emotions the family must feel when someone dies due to playful violence.”
“… … “W-what do you mean?”
Oh Hye-ji stuttered.
This situation.
I really didn’t understand.
I tried to back away, but I was blocked by the solid door and couldn’t go any further.
Hyunseong Kim did not answer Hyeji Oh’s question at all.
“Choi Seon-ah said that. If there is any ‘intention’ behind the violence I suffered, I hate those people. And the reason he confessed to me was because he responded confidently to violence. People who don’t know what’s going on say that the student is fighting, but since my brother, who had been avoiding fighting, chose to harm himself, he actually cheered me on. “I hope I can eradicate all the evil of the thousand days.”
Choi Seon-ah’s crush.
A flower bloomed from deficiency.
She didn’t like him simply because he was a popular boy, but because he was someone who filled the void in her heart.
Kim Hyun-seong held his face as if he was in pain.
Conversation with Choi Seon-ah.
I felt like my soul was about to burn.
The fact that someone just like him exists somewhere in the world, and the thought that there may be countless such beings like Choi Seon-ah and himself experienced. The feeling of disgust was overwhelming. The malice boiled like crazy.
This is why.
I couldn’t stop.
The person taking revenge does not necessarily have to be himself, but Kim Hyun-seong desperately hoped that the subject would be himself.
“I don’t doubt Choi Seon-ah. Then there is only one possibility I can think of. The last possibility is that Choi Seon-ah told someone about me. When I asked that, I heard one name.”
Flash.
Blink, blink.
I raised my face.
The face, which was repeatedly buried in darkness and disappearing, was so horribly distorted that shadows were all over it.
“hey.”
Convince Choi Seon-ah.
Summon Oh Hye-ji.
The door was closed.
There was no longer any doubt.
“You are the client, right?”
Oh Hye-ji.
It was clear that she was behind the mystery.
