That time when class was in full swing.
Unlike usual, Kim Hyun-seong left behind the teacher who was explaining intently and looked down at the cell phone screen under the desk.
[Hyunseong, can you please answer the phone?]
[I still sincerely regret what happened back then. If you give me just one chance, I will apologize and reflect on myself.]
[…] … Actually, when I first got expelled, I felt a lot of injustice. I didn’t understand why I had to experience this, but now that I was the victim at my new school, I understand. How wrong bullying is. Students have the right to enjoy a normal school life, but I had no idea that life without that was so painful. It’s my fault. Please just this once. Please meet me just once.]
I was desperate.
I’ve been getting calls constantly since yesterday, and when I thought I wasn’t answering on purpose, I sent a text message.
As the letters pile up.
Jung Min-ho’s earnestness also increased.
At first he offered a simple apology, but at some point he let go of everything.
[I will be punished. I’ll do whatever you want. If you tell me to go to a juvenile detention center like Park Min-cheol, I will, and if you tell me not to go to school from now on, I will give up on taking the qualification exam. So just tell me how. What on earth do you think I can do to ease your mind? I don’t mean to ask you to forgive me. Please tell me the punishment that will be enough to ease your mind. I will gladly accept it.]
“Tsk.”
Laughter escaped me without realizing it.
It was funny.
The trash who had a hard time accepting expulsion, the trash who struggled for months saying he would never quit school at his new school. For now, he said, he can go to juvenile detention. Jeong Min-ho, who was very frightened by the thought that Kim Hyun-sung’s malicious intent would not end in the future, showed his willingness to sell his soul.
It was fun.
A shiver ran through my whole body.
Even though it was just a text that could not convey emotions properly, Kim Hyun-seong could not hide his laughter.
“Kim Hyun-seong. “What’s so funny?”
“no.”
The teacher’s gaze turned to Kim Hyun-seong.
Hyunseong Kim put down his cell phone.
Then he spoke in an excited voice.
“I will focus on class, teacher.”
I didn’t turn off my cell phone.
throughout the class.
A small light appeared and disappeared in the desk drawer, as if to indicate that a text message had arrived.
Is that why?
Hyunseong Kim thought today’s class was really fun.
* * *
A few days after that.
On his way back from class, Kim Hyun-seong met an unexpected person.
“… … Hyunseong. “Can I have a moment?”
It was Jung Min-ho.
He had been contacting me for several days, and when Kim Hyun-seong never responded, he came to visit me in person.
Kim Hyun-seong’s reaction was calm.
As if he had expected it, he took the first step.
“Follow me.”
Startle.
Jung Min-ho hesitated.
When Kim Hyun-seong entered the alley first, he was unable to follow easily and showed a hesitant reaction. But he had no other choice. Because he had already fallen into the abyss of despair, hadn’t he given up everything and come here? He followed him into a shady alley, and as soon as he reached the corner he fell to his knees.
widely.
“Hyunseong, I really was wrong.”
I hit my head on the ground.
I shouted in a desperate voice.
“I’ll do anything to ease your mind. So tell me how. “Make me pay.”
Forgiveness too.
I wasn’t even asking you to look at it.
I knew that paying a price meant that the end of this revenge would never be peaceful.
Jung Min-ho hoped for extenuating circumstances.
If he had to be punished anyway, he hoped that a confession would lessen the punishment.
Hyunseong Kim leaned against the wall.
He looked down at Jung Minho with a crooked face and said.
“Minho. “Would you like me to tell you something interesting?”
“… … “I’ll listen to anything.”
“As you might have guessed, what happened with Shin Young-min and Park Min-cheol’s gang was not a coincidence. I ordered Shin Young-min to attack Park Min-cheol’s gang, and Park Min-cheol’s gang had no choice but to stab Shin Young-min in order to survive. This means that it was a problem that had to end in catastrophe from the beginning. by the way. Do you think they will be able to live a normal life in the future if they pay for all their sins? never. “That will never happen.”
I laughed.
The laughter that had been suppressed for so long bloomed fiercely on Kim Hyun-seong’s face.
“As time goes by and they pay for their crimes, from then on I will send someone to completely ruin their lives. He had a miserable academic record, being expelled from high school, and had a record of assault. Even if you apply here and there to make a living, no one will accept you, and even if you try to find a part-time job, the same thing will happen to Shin Young-min’s case. The opponents will be diverse. Older men get drunk and act out, or kids younger than us get on our nerves. “Even if you suppress your anger in an unbearable situation, if you come to your senses, you will find yourself at the police station.”
A clear voice penetrated my ears.
That voice, seething with malice, could not be heard word by word.
“And then you’ll end up in jail again. No matter how much you excuse your assault conviction, you will be branded as trash, and if you spend time in prison like that, gray hair will start to grow on your head at some point. It will be such a fun day. I definitely have memories from my high school days, but when I go out, at some point people will call me uncle. “No, I want to call you grandfather.”
“… … Please.”
“I’m sorry. There is no such thing as an appropriate punishment. When you cross the line, someone could die because of your malice. But you lived, right?”
Jung Min-ho opened his eyes wide.
Tears welled up.
I was at a loss.

The thought of malice that I could not bear made my body tremble rather than think about resisting.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“But you said you would come to me and pay for your sins yourself, so I’ll give you one last chance.”
“Well, just say anything. “I will do it no matter what.”
“okay?”
I smiled brightly.
I wanted this reaction from Jung Minho.
I hoped Jung Min-ho would come visit me in person.
That way, you will be able to get two benefits with perfect revenge.
“Park Min-gu, get revenge on him. “If you punish me enough for harassing you, I won’t harass you anymore.”
It’s Park Min.
Minho Jeong.
It’s the same garbage.
This plan will not end with Jung Min-ho alone.
“I’ll promise. So, prove your will.”
* * *
Jung Min-ho returned home.
When her son suddenly went out, his mother Kim Soon-ja approached him and asked with worried eyes.
“Son, are you okay?”
“Where have you been?”
“Son, son!”
No matter how many times I called, he didn’t answer.
I just went into the room and locked the door.
dump.
I sat down on the bed.
It was dark.
Kim Hyun-seong told Park Min-gu to take revenge and even kindly explained the method of revenge.
Suddenly, I felt scared.
When I went to visit Kim Hyun-seong, I was prepared to do anything, but when I actually heard the plan, I realized that this was not something that could be generally accepted. I felt mentally exhausted. Just thinking about the plan made his mouth go dry and his whole body shiver as if he had chills.
“… … This is not it. “It’s something that can’t be done.”
I had to refuse.
I had to give up.
however.
I couldn’t do that.
When I thought of Kim Hyun-seong’s eyes shining with malice, I couldn’t help but know what the price of rejection was.
‘Kim Hyun-seong is not normal. He will destroy me until I die. Even if I re-enter another school, they will find a guy like Park Min-gu and send him there, and when I get older and get a job, they will spread rumors there and turn me into trash. Can I raise a normal family like that? It’s impossible. If any woman knew the truth about me, she would never accept me without even her job.’
This crossroads was not simple.
Are we going to be destroyed like this, or are we going to take a risky gamble and try to save even the slightest hope?
That was the difference.
I didn’t have the confidence to stand up to Kim Hyun-seong.
This is the guy who defeated Shin Young-min all by himself.
Against him, who sent both Park Min-cheol’s gang and Shin Young-min to juvenile detention, I was not confident that I could win with my mental strength.
And after that.
Isn’t there Myeongjin Construction?
I fell behind in every way.
“Black, dark.”
I buried my face between my legs.
I burst out crying.
I was scared.
Hyunseong Kim, and this situation.
It was something I couldn’t handle at a young age, so I couldn’t bear it without crying.
A few days passed like that.
My emotions had dried up to the point where there were no more tears to shed, and for several days outside, I could hear my parents’ despairing voices asking me to open the door. Deep darkness settled under my eyes. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep. I accepted the darkness not simply because of the darkness it created, but because of the decision made in my head.
I had to do it.
I had to live.
Now that my mental strength had been completely eroded, normal judgment was impossible.
This seemed like the only way to survive.
Jung Min-ho stumbled out of bed.
Then I sat down in front of the desk.
Okay.
Take out your notebook.
I picked up a pencil.
I started writing something.
I started writing with a frantic look on my face, and soon it filled the notebook.
* * *
The school that Jung Min-ho left.
There was nothing special.
Park Min-gu was still a predator, and his notoriety became even stronger after Jung Min-ho dropped out.
“Ah, I’m so bored because the toy I was playing with is gone.”
Squeak.
Squeak, squeal.
I lay down and leaned back on the chair.
As if performing a trick, the will bounced with both feet.
‘The Golden Circle’s request is definitely a mess. He earns 6,000 won for harassing idiots like Jung Min-ho, and an additional 10 million won every month. Now that things are like this, should we go on an away trip? If I handle a few more requests with this momentum, I think I’ll be able to raise enough funds to start a business.’
Park Min-gu.
He also had a dream.
Since he was planning to save up money and open a bar in Gangnam, he needed a way to make money.
I put my thoughts aside for a moment.
For now.
It was time to relieve the immediate boredom.
He got up from his chair, walked away, and hit a friend who was studying hard on the back of the head.
Bah!
“Oh, f*ck!”
My friend turned his head.
When he widened his eyes and made eye contact with Park Min-gu, he looked startled and hurriedly looked down, as if he had been struck by lightning.
“Oh, f*ck? Are you going to hit me?”
“… … Sorry.”
“I’m so sorry. “I know this shit, so I’ll give you a chance to get revenge.”
sat in front
Then he raised his fist in a familiar manner.
“From now on, we will play rock, paper, scissors. The person who wins beats up the person who loses. For your information, I’m a man so I’m planning on making a fist? “If you let me know, I can get revenge for the stab you just gave me.”
He twitched and laughed.
Whether your friend’s eyes waver or not.
Park Min-gu shouted.
“Rock Paper Scissors! Hahaha, this guy is stupid. “Why do you get angry even when I tell you?”
“… … I know.”
The result was Park Min-gu’s victory.
My friend frowned.
It’s not that I doubted the intention.
I knew that even if I won, I would have nothing to gain.
Park Min-gu took a stance.
Just as I was about to hit my friend’s forehead, the classroom door suddenly opened violently.
Grumble.
widely.
Moment.
Everyone’s attention was focused.
It had to be that way.
People storming into the class.
Dressed in police uniforms, they looked around, found Park Min-gu, and walked forward without hesitation.
“Are you Park Min-gu?”
“… … Why me?”
“That’s right.”
Disgust flashed through the policeman’s eyes.
He spoke matter-of-factly.
“You know Jung Min-ho, right? He attempted suicide last night. So please follow me obediently.”
“What does that have to do with me?”
“Who cares?”
The police officer chuckled.
“Of course it matters. This bastard is more shameless than I thought. Since ‘your name’ was mentioned in Jung Min-ho’s will, just follow him before he is forcibly arrested. “Don’t let harsh words come out of my mouth for no reason.”
