17. People looking for Kim Hyun-seong (6)
A school in Gangnam.
All classes are over.
Tomorrow was Saturday, so one of the male students who was packing his luggage spoke to Kang Min-woo.
“Minwoo. “Going to karaoke?”
“… … “I have an appointment today, so it’s going to be difficult.”
“Hey, let’s play for a bit. The girl you liked last time. “He called me too.”
I was heartbroken.
The girl my friend told me about.
She was a girl who was famous for being pretty in the neighborhood, and I had begged my friend to set up a meeting with her. It seemed like it was prepared as a surprise, but Kang Min-woo couldn’t bring himself to say that he would follow along.
a few days ago.
Seeing the group protesting that they would not go down to Daesan, Lee Mi-so said firmly.
“Kang Min-woo. your mom said You are the only son of the Kang family and the child of Kang Dong-cheol. But are you really going to get upset like this? This is all for your good, but why aren’t you cooperating like this? This time, even Mom can’t give in. I promised that if you were disloyal to class, I would never touch you, regardless of whether the tutor hit you or not. So, do it yourself. “What is certain is that if you don’t listen to me again this time, I will suspend your card.”
He was resolute.
There was no room for compromise this time.
In fact, the suspension of the card could be resolved with the money saved, but the real problem was that he would not participate in corporal punishment.
‘If I miss tutoring… … .’
My body trembled.
A period of gale and fury.
The people they fear the most are not their parents.
A senior who is just one year older.
The existence that we encountered every time at school and committed violence right in front of our eyes was a realistic fear that could correct the stormy times. Hyunseong Kim was in a similar context. Although we do not see him every time at school, because he is his classmate, he is able to use indiscriminate violence unlike his adults.
Suddenly, I felt scared.
Kang Min-woo only lived as a military man, but he was not a child accustomed to violence.
Just like the day I was dragged out of the arcade and beaten up, I couldn’t bear to accept my friend’s offer because I thought the same thing would happen. I shed bloody tears inside. It was fun just to imagine hanging out with a girl I liked at a karaoke bar, but I remembered the pain of that day when I saw her face, which was still bruised.
“sorry. “It really doesn’t work.”
“Ugh, next time, don’t ask me to call anyone.”
My friend left.
Kang Min-woo is left alone.
After packing all his luggage, he trudged and walked lonely.

A cafe in Gangnam.
Lee Mi-so and Mom Cafe members gathered in one place.
One of the mothers spoke in a cautious tone while drinking Americano, which costs over 15,000 won per cup.
“But is this really okay? “I was so surprised to see my child’s face that day.”
“that’s right. “I said it was okay to use corporal punishment no matter how much it was done, but is there ever a case of a barbaric slap in the face?”
Arcade incident.
It was on the lips of mothers.
First of all, I was fascinated by Kim Hyun-sung’s confidence, so I just ignored it, but I couldn’t help but feel upset when my beloved children came back after being beaten. It was the same with Lee Mi-so. She firmly told Kang Min-woo to follow her teacher, but she felt burned inside as she treated Kang Min-woo’s face.
Lee Mi-so said.
“Actually, I did a little research on Kim Hyun-seong, and he was very famous in Daesan. He’s not only good at fighting, but he’s also good at fighting. He may have been better off. As children get older, they start to think less of their parents’ words, and once they are scolded, they never say out loud that they will skip tutoring. Because everything in the world is the same. “Whether it was then or now, he is probably more afraid of the violence right in front of him than his parents, who he knows love him.”
“So does that mean we’ll just watch? “Then what if something bigger happens?”
“The big thing we are worried about is that our children will not be able to enter ‘prestigious universities.’ Think about it. “If our children enter a local university, do you think we will be able to raise our faces on the floor of Gangnam?”
“that… … .”
everyone.
I couldn’t answer readily.
The people gathered here are not rich people.
They were people who could carry their heads up in Gangnam, and because of that, they were able to form a special group by being chosen by Lee Mi-so. Therefore, for them, their child’s failure was unthinkable. For most of them, who chose to raise children rather than live the lives of career women, the fact that they were unable to raise even a child properly was likely to remain a big stain.
And above all.
He has a great background, but what happens to the father’s reputation if his child enters a local university?
Absolutely not.
It was unacceptable.
It was a problem that was directly related to not only the life of the child, but also the life of the parents.
Lee Mi-so handed out a stick followed by a carrot.
“I know what everyone is thinking. That day, our Minwoo was hurt the most, and how did I feel as I treated his face? But it’s only been 3 years. To be exact, there are only two years left, but you can’t waste that time and be labeled for the rest of your life. Instead, how about doing this?”
“What is it?”
“Final exams are coming soon. When you see that Kim Hyun-seong’s confidence is so great, and when you look at the fact that he asked me to send him off three times a week this month in order to get a good grade on the final exam right away. Wouldn’t it be okay to evaluate Kim Hyun-sung’s abilities based on his final exam grades? “If you really improve your grades in a short period of time, you can trust Kim Hyun-seong, but if the result is the opposite, there is no need to expose our precious children to dangerous violence.”
The calculation has already been completed.
The reason Kim Hyun-seong accepts reckless conditions is for the sole reward of improved grades.
If even that doesn’t turn out well.
Lee Mi-so said firmly.
“You will have to make a decision then.”
Only 15 days until final exams.
The wait won’t be long.
* * *
Three times a week.
The schedule was only scheduled until the final exam.
This was already the third class, and Kang Min-woo and his friends prepared for the class with somewhat gloomy faces.

Maybe you’re tired.
It takes about 2 hours to drive from Seoul to Daesan, especially during rush hour after school. But I was repeating this three times a week. That doesn’t mean they are exempted from academy classes, so even though they only received a few private lessons, their fatigue from this life was clearly visible on their faces.
Hyunseong Kim said.
Tuk.
“Concentration.”
Eyes gathered.
As expected, the violence in front of them must have had an effect, so they listened to Kim Hyun-seong’s words.
“From now on, listen carefully to what I say. I know that traveling back and forth from Seoul to Daesan is very tiring for you, but your parents are polar opposites anyway. What if your grades are not good even after receiving tutoring from me? What kind of future do you think awaits you? I’ll either get a tutor to replace me, or I’ll go to a new academy that will make me more rigorous than the time spent commuting to and from Daesan. Don’t say no. From elementary school until now, you have lived like that.”
“… … .”
I couldn’t refute it.
It was true.
Like a squirrel running on a treadmill, Kang Min-woo and his friends lived a life lacking freedom.
“My advice to you is to just accept reality. The rich life you enjoy is only meaningful if you meet the expectations you receive. So what can I do? As my parents expected, I should enter a prestigious university. If you get good grades through tutoring with me. I’m thinking of suggesting to your parents that they limit your attendance to private academies as much as possible, other than private tutoring. “I think it is more helpful to fully study and learn from the scope I have taken rather than someone else’s teaching.”
The range that Kim Hyun-seong talks about.
It was a result of the future.
Rather than spending time studying at another academy, Kim Hyun-seong decided that it would be more helpful to fully study what he taught. This was only possible for the next 2-3 years. Since Kim Hyun-seong’s job is to teach what she personally experienced on the CSAT board, she will never be able to show the same abilities as she does now.
At most 3 years.
That was enough.
Rather than completely revealing the truth, Kim Hyun-seong changed the story into a story that would be attractive to Kang Min-woo and his friends.
“And if I finish this final exam well, I plan to invite you over once a week. Of course, I am confident that I can teach you well at that level. how is it? Do you still think coming down to Daesan is a losing business?”
“ah.”
Someone’s exclamation.
That was enough.
Kang Min-woo and his friends were not stupid.
Their eyes began to sparkle with strong enthusiasm as they realized what Kim Hyun-seong’s words meant.

The fifteen days passed in an instant.
Just before winter break.
It was the final hurdle.
The final exams for the second semester were held, and this time, Hyunseong Kim did not disappoint everyone’s expectations.
Cheonil’s principal’s office.
Oh Dae-hwan treated Kim Hyun-seong alone with a happy face.
“Hyunseong. “Isn’t school life difficult?”
“yes. “The principal takes good care of me both materially and spiritually, so it’s not particularly difficult.”
“okay?”
I smiled brightly.
Kim Hyun-seong’s final exam grades.
It was a perfect score this time too.
When Oh Dae-hwan checked the results, his heart pounding, his fists clenched.
“How did such a fortune come into Cheonil? If anything happens, come see the principal at any time. This is the work of a top honors student, so of course I, as the principal, must take responsibility and support it. Ah, and this time, Daesan City will probably provide a separate scholarship. It wasn’t originally planned, but I negotiated it and got a perfect score on the midterm! Perfect score on mock exam! Daesan’s future will be brighter only if we take care of Hyeonseong, who is the future of Daesan, so we accepted it after strongly suggesting that Daesan’s future would be brighter. “The amount will be more than you think.”
“thank you.”
“Thank you. It’s natural. By the way, is Managing Director Go Chang-beom doing well?”
“Yes, you are doing well.”
“Yes, yes. I took up too much time. “Our Hyeonseong must be tired, so let’s go in quickly.”
It was truly sincerity.
It had to be that way.
In the past, he was simply the person who led Myungjin Construction, but now he is the person who will make Oh Dae-hwan’s dream come true.
Prestigious Thousand Days!
Oh Dae-hwan’s eyes looking at Kim Hyun-seong were one of true love.
Unless I really fell in love, I couldn’t look at the back of the teacher leaving the teacher’s office with such fondness.
‘This time, we need to call local media outlets and promote it on a large scale. Our Hyunseong, who continues to get perfect scores on the midterm, mock, and final exams, will also hit the jackpot on the CSAT. These are all achievements created by Cheonil’s excellent education system!’
He grinned.
Leaving Oh Dae-hwan behind.
Hyunseong Kim left the principal’s office.
I put my cell phone on silent while I was in the principal’s office, but when I took it out and checked it, there was a pile of absences.
[13 missed calls]
’13 letters?’
It seemed like something was happening.
After checking the text message, Kim Hyun-seong was immediately able to find out the truth about his absence.
[teacher! My child’s average grade went up by a whopping 10 points! When can you call me? Thank you so much. I will come to Daesan right away, so please give me some time.]
Lee Mi So’s character.
While Kim Hyun-seong was in the principal’s office, cheers of joy rang out in Gangnam.
