Episode 144 < Rooftop. (3) >
‘Let’s comfort our friends first.’
An unknown bastard is trying to destroy our group.
‘I wonder if I’ll get hit!’
I have to skillfully control these scaremongers who are very scared after receiving a threatening email. Okay. can do.
As soon as I returned to the classroom, I spoke to the group of children.
“hey. I know why you guys are doing this, but don’t do it. Why are friends doing this in a sad way? uh? If you have something to say, say it. If you have something to say, listen. Isn’t that what friends are like? huh?”
But their reaction was subtle. Without any response, I kept glancing at my classroom desk.
I went and checked.
There were dozens of crumpled notes in the desk drawer.
“…….”
Each and every message is an abusive language slandering me. ‘I was so happy when they greeted me in the hallway yesterday.’ Anyone can see that this is nothing more than a lie. ‘I did that because I lost at rock-paper-scissors! Please don’t be mistaken!’ Sentences containing nothing but malice and ridicule are scattered about.
While I was at the teacher’s office.
In that short period of time, a mountain of notes piled up.
“Hey, these kids… … .”
“cook.”
I heard someone laughing. Swish. I looked straight in the direction the laughter came from. But I couldn’t tell who was laughing. There were too many students in the classroom.
“who is this! “Who did this to my desk, huh?!”
“Ooh, we didn’t do it.”
One of my friends spoke cautiously.
“A little while ago, another classmate came and left a bunch of notes… .”
“Another class?”
“uh. Please tell me something. “Don’t contact me again.”
“…….”
It’s a customer. The story goes that one of the customers threw away the notes. I think I’ll be amazed. An unknown [culprit] is playing with not only classmates but also customers.
“Eunseo, and… .”
“and? what?”
“Behind your back… .”
Behind your back?
“What’s behind your back?”
“Well, that. therefore.”
I turned back and forth. I tried to turn my head to look at my back, but I couldn’t see clearly. Laughter flowed from all over the classroom.
“Foot… !”
“Phew.”
I bent my arms and groped my back. Scold. Something caught.
It was paper. Someone had used tape to attach a piece of paper to my back.
I quickly peeled off the paper to see what on earth was written.
+
Shinseo High School’s official trash!!
+
It is written like that in a cute, round font.
“…….”
when? Who put it on? Have you already been together since you were called out by your homeroom teacher? Or did someone secretly put it on after they just entered the classroom?
But there was no time to find out.
“Soo, let’s start class… .”
The first period has begun. The most easy math teacher in school. The classmates, who would normally have been chatting for a while, sat down all at once, as if they were all determined to be model students this time. All students.
‘shit.’
I ground my teeth in my mind.
‘If I make a fuss here now, I’ll only look funny. Are you going to leave the classroom? no. no. That’s not real. I know they’ll talk behind each other’s back after I leave. f*ck, f*ck… !’
In the end, I had no choice but to sit quietly.
If you look around, you will see people laughing and laughing under their breath. Kim Yul looks at his notes expressionlessly. The class president came into the classroom late, asked for understanding from the math teacher, and then returned to his seat. Everyone was going about their daily lives without any problems.
‘f*ck.’
I felt sick to my stomach.
Anger toward the culprit was natural. Of course I was angry. But, besides the criminal, my friends. My anger towards my classmates in this class suddenly boiled over.
‘No, you guys did it too, right?’
It was unfair.
‘Are you really going to step out now? They also teased and beat up Kim Yul and did everything they could. Did I even order you to follow Kim Yul? ‘They didn’t just ignore me.’
It was unfair.
‘Among the bastards sitting here, is there one who has never laughed at Kim Yul? There are many children who have begged and asked to see the video. ‘Why are you trying to pretend not to know now?’
It was so unfair.
Because I wrote ‘Ae’. I worked hard to achieve something that others did not do. How easy is it to intentionally ostracize one person? Do you know how to turn a bully into an outcast and an outcast into a bully?
‘Maggots, no. ‘You bastards like leeches.’
I at least tried.
A platform was created using the student council submission box. I showed kindness to kids from rich families. When my classmates studied the way others studied and tried to live the way others lived, I at least thought about [the future]. Planned for the future!
On the other hand, what did these leeches do?
‘For free riding on the platform I worked so hard to create!’
same. Because others laughed, they laughed too. Because others ostracized them, they also ostracized themselves. These guys, these kids, they only have one logic.
[Because others do it too] .

‘Disgusting bastards.’
I’m going to pretend not to notice this. [Because others did it]. [I didn’t really think about it]. [I didn’t mean to do that]. They will make excuses like that and forget that they also enjoyed playing Kim Yul.
‘No, I’m not pretending not to know, I really don’t know.’
It’s just that these guys are stupid. stupid. They can’t even remember what they say or do. If this isn’t a question of intelligence, what is? They’re just idiots who are hatching brains. And yet they act as if they are human and have done no wrong… … .
‘It’s unfair.’
It is unfair.
‘Why me to these inferior bastards? Why only me?’
It is unfair!
Rather, there is someone who is truly just, like a hero in a story, and he has lived an upright life ever since he was born, so if he were to stab me, I would at least accept it.
That’s not it.
‘Even now, not a single person has apologized to Kim Yul, right?’
does not exist.
There won’t be.
So it’s unfair. It’s so unfair that these guys were just used by [the criminal], incited, and stabbed me without really thinking much about it.
I don’t want to die by being hit by [such a knife]! Inferior bastards!
I am something greater than that!
Grrrrrr-…
My cell phone rang in my pants pocket.
The person who sent the text was my girlfriend.
+
Hwang Eun-seo, what did you do?
Don’t come forward.
It’s over.
+
“…….”
Time passed helplessly.
There was no time to respond. I couldn’t even think of a way. [The criminal] pushed me hard without giving me any time to relax. I tried contacting her girlfriend but she didn’t answer. Even when I visit him during break time, he just glares at me coldly.
Just yesterday, the kid smiled and said he was happy to be with me.
‘what’s the matter… . I’m just a fun guy… .’
After that, even when it was break time, I couldn’t even go to the bathroom properly. I was afraid. What if someone comes and puts a note in my desk drawer while I’m away?
‘f*ck.’
Even when it was lunch time, I just lay down on my desk and pretended to sleep. I’m not an idiot. There is no way my classmates would eat lunch with me in this atmosphere.
Rather than going down to a restaurant and eating alone, it’s better to lie down and pretend to sleep.
‘Still, at least one person will invite you to eat together, right?’
I thought, putting my head down on the desk.
‘Then you should say it right away. I feel sick today. If you reject me like that, everyone will know. Hwang Eun-seo said she suffered no damage. I’m fine. No, it actually seems like he’s sulking. I think we need to appease him. ‘Everyone will know that.’
It will happen.
‘How much have I taken care of you all this time? They paid for my meals regularly and even let me appear in videos. When my friends fought, I made peace with them. Again… again…’
There wasn’t.
No one invited me to go to a restaurant.
“…….”
The classroom was quiet during lunch time when all the students had left. The eerie silence of 12:45. There was no one wandering around in the hallway. The wind blew through the window and the white curtains fluttered.
“You bastards… .”
I woke up muttering.
“You can talk. uh? Even just words… .”
Suddenly, I felt a bottomless sense of shame. He walked around without knowing that there was a note attached to his back. I was laughed at by kids who were like leeches. I felt ashamed of everything, including being dumped via text message.
“You bastards. Babies who aren’t even human… .”
I searched through my classmates’ desk drawers one by one.
I rummaged around.
I didn’t know that there might be evidence against the culprit. I didn’t know that there might have been hidden specific instructions, such as when to send me a note and what content to send me.
‘Please stay a while. please!’
It was then.
“… … Hwang Eun-seo, what are you doing now?”
I looked back in surprise. I was in the middle of searching through a desk drawer, so my posture was awkward. When I turned around, I saw four of my classmates standing at the back door of the classroom.
“uh,”
I stuttered.
“that is. for a moment.”
“for a moment? “Wait what?”
“I need to check in a moment… .”
“Are you looking through someone else’s desk to check something? “Are you crazy?”
no.
“Hey, Eunseo Hwang looked through our desk!”
“what?”
That’s not it.
“Why are you searching other people’s desks?” ?”
“Have you never been like this before?”
Listen to me.
“Wow. I feel dirty….”
It’s not like that.
Please listen to me.
You are now being incited. You didn’t know, right? You are being used without your knowledge. You should know that. You guys have made mistakes too, so I’m on the same side as you!
Same team!
One team!
We’re one team!
If you attack me, you guys will be in real trouble. It’s real. If not me, who will provide for you? I developed the Kim Yul game for you. I made you happy I provided entertainment for you guys. who? I!
Protect me! You idiots!
Don’t be foolishly incited, but judge properly who is on the same side! This is a conspiracy. It’s a conspiracy. I feel wronged. You bastards! No matter how stupid you are, you can’t tell who is your friend and who is your enemy.
You have no sense of loyalty!
We’ve had a good time together so far. You guys also had fun torturing Kim Yul. You laughed as much as you wanted at the single father who lived in the garbage dump and collected trash, and that idiot, Kim Yul! You trash! Why are you trying to bite your ‘chief’ now?
‘It is unfair… .’
The story that I rummaged through the drawers during lunch time quickly spread among the kids. Yes, I searched. What’s the big deal? However, the classmates seemed to think that [Hwang Eun-seo searched the classroom desk] was a much more serious thing than [they had bullied Kim Yul].
‘I feel unfair… .’
The ones who always laughed at me and said, “Director, Director.” You betrayed me just because the criminal made a slight threat? How much time have I contributed to the enjoyment of the classroom?
‘I feel like I’m going to die of injustice… .’
Even after school, nothing changed.
This morning, my friends at least said they were sorry. I at least pretended to be sorry. But after that happened during lunch, the look in my eyes just changed. He looked at me coldly as if I was someone he was going to kill.
‘You crazy bastards.’
What crime did I commit?
It is unfair.
It’s unfair.
…….
“Hwang Eun-seo.”
An empty classroom because all the students have left.
“I’m sorry, but can you look at me for a moment?”
The class leader said.
Today, the class president was the only one who maintained a blank expression throughout.
“what… ?”
“I tried not to worry about it as much as possible. My homeroom teacher and even my classmates were talking about various things to me. “Even if it’s like this, I’m the class president, so I guess I should pretend to care.”
“under… … .”
I couldn’t even sarcastically say, “This bastard is meddling again for no reason.” The class president is the first classmate to talk to me since lunch time. To put it in a good way, the class president was a model student, but to put it in a bad way, he was a self-destructive student. Maybe that’s why you can imagine the atmosphere around you.
“What’s wrong?”
“…….”
At that moment, there was a glimpse of a way out of this hellish situation.
‘that’s right. ‘I’m the class president.’
The class president has good grades. She is loved by her teachers knowingly or unknowingly. Her classmates also don’t mess with the class president. Maybe it’s innate, but the class president has a slightly haughty air about him, so it’s not easy to talk to him.
Let’s turn the situation around step by step by persuading the class president first.
“uh. actually… … .”
And I told them how unfair I had been.
I think I may have ignored Kim Yul just a little bit. However, no one has noticed that I am dating a girlfriend from a rich family, so they are spreading ridiculous rumors. It is unfair. It’s unfair, but the kids in my class don’t even listen to me.
Please help me.
“…….”
The class leader calmly listened to the complaints for about 30 minutes. The class president did not stop me from speaking. He didn’t even object. He just listened with the same attitude as usual, and I was grateful for that attitude.
“okay. I see.”
The class president nodded.
“Eunseo, I know you feel unfair. It must be really unfair. “There are times when kids act coldly and say it’s not their business.”
“I heard it’s really like that.”
“But I don’t know how to help you. What should I do with this… .”
The class president was worried. The worries continued for a long time. Even I, who was not very close to him, could sense that the class leader was deeply concerned. We both fell silent. After a while, the class leader raised his head.
“ah.”
The class president tapped the desk.
“Eunseo. How about something like this? In my view, this problem can only be resolved if Eunseo receives forgiveness from Kim Yul.”
“To Kim Yul… ?”
“okay. To put it bluntly, the other kids are all outcasts. “If the person involved, Kim Yul, forgives you, the other kids won’t be able to say anything.”
“…….”
It was a solution I had never thought of. But when I heard it, it turned out to be true. No matter what the other kids say, if Kim Yul just says one thing, “I now forgive Hwang Eun-seo,” his classmates will have nothing to say.
“uh… But… .”
there is a problem.
“Will Kim Yul accept my apology? I don’t think they will accept it… .”
“Don’t worry. “It’s annoying, but let’s talk about it sometime.”
The class leader smiled softly.
“Let me help you. Hwang Eun-seo.”
It was a very kind smile.
