Episode 145 < Friend. (1) >
One.
“You’re helping me?”
“huh. Well, I shouldn’t talk too patronizingly, but… .”
The class leader smiled bitterly.
‘Was he a child with such diverse expressions?’
It was a little unfamiliar. When she thought about it, she had been in the same class since first grade, but she had never really talked to the class president.
“I’m running for student council president this time. I’m going out to get a recommendation for a university… Anyway, the chairman is the chairman. I need to resolve any problems that arise in class. I don’t know how to solve it, but I’ll ask Kim Yul. Do you know Kim Yul’s cell phone number?”
“uh… . wait for a sec.”
While looking through phone numbers, I realized one thing. The class leader doesn’t know Kim Yul’s number. All of my classmates who watched the video with me know Kim Yul’s number. in other words.
‘The class leader is not the criminal.’
There is a possibility that this is all just an act.
‘That can’t be possible. He’s an ordinary criminal. There is no way for him to obtain the recording file.’
The class president is a safety card. It is certainly.
While I was nodding, “Ah,” the class president said.
“no. It would be a bit awkward if we talked about this over the phone. I’ll just secretly ask Kim Yul after school tomorrow. “That’s it, right?”
“Uh oh. I know. It’s not a phone call. Well, thank you for trying to help.”
“If you’re grateful, please ask for a clean vote from me, not your girlfriend.”
“… … OK.”
Anyway, my relationship with my girlfriend ended as of today. Her class president didn’t seem to know that I had broken up with her girlfriend, which also played a part in removing her class president from her list of dragons.
‘okay.’
I had hope.
‘It’s not over yet. Nothing is done! If there is at least one person who supports me, I can use that person to come up with a strategy. This atmosphere is short-lived… . ‘After some time, my friends will return to normal.’
From that day on, the class president really started to take action. I couldn’t tell exactly how he was moving, but it seemed like he was actively utilizing the [model student] image he had built up over the years.
“good. “I came here after hearing about Kim Yul.”
The next day at lunchtime, the class leader said. Today again, I didn’t go down to the restaurant. The atmosphere of my classmates subtly ostracizing me continued, and I didn’t want to get caught up in it. The two of us had a secret meeting in an empty classroom.
“really? what?”
“I want you to formally apologize in front of your friends. He said he would never accept a one-on-one apology. “If you apologize sincerely and make sure the kids know what you did wrong and how much you did wrong, they’ll forgive you too.”
What a crazy guy.
‘What kind of apology and forgiveness is that?’
Are you simply trying to embarrass me? Kim Yul is no different from his classmates. I’m doing this shit because I want to taste even a small amount of power.
“He said three times that there is no forgiveness if the apology does not feel ‘sincere.’ Umm. “It seemed like he was really angry at you because he didn’t have any expression on his face.”
‘I’m going to go back.’
Can’t we just pay 1 million won and be done with it?
You will get it because you are a beggar.
“What is authenticity? “How can I feel sincerity?”
“well. I don’t know about that either… . Anyway, I heard it’s important to apologize in front of other kids. “How about writing an apology in advance?”
The class leader said with a slightly annoyed feeling. Did she finally realize that the situation was more complicated than she thought?
shit. Not only your school life but also your future depends on this. I mean, it took my life. If you decide to pretend to be nice, take responsibility until the end!
“I know. I need to write an apology. ha… .”
I put on as pitiful a look as I could.
Eunseo Hwang. This is the moment to put on the performance of your life.
“Really, why did I stupidly bully Kim Yul? Since all the kids were doing it, I joined in without even thinking about it. shit. “I shouldn’t have done that.”
Ego. Come on, feel sorry for me. Have pity on me. I’m a human being. I know how to regret and I know how to regret my mistakes. But I didn’t commit a mortal sin! Go ahead and take pity on me!
“It’s natural for Kim Yul to be angry at me. I could have stopped them as much as I wanted, haha… … . I feel sorry now. If I feel the same way, I want to apologize in front of the entire school. really.”
“…….”
The class leader stared blankly. Eyes as deep as a well. It was a face whose true intentions were difficult to guess. But there is no doubt that you are listening to what I say.
“An idea occurred to me.”
The class president jumped up from his seat.
“uh?”
“I thought of a way for you to be forgiven by Kim Yul. hang on. “I’m going to go to the teacher’s office.”
The class president hurried out of the classroom. It was absurd. What are you doing, kid? I absent-mindedly ate the peeled bread in an empty classroom. When the bread was half-gnawed, the class president came back.
“good! “I got it confirmed by the teacher.”
“what?”
“The student council president’s speech. I asked if a non-candidate could go up to the podium. “They said there was no rule saying it couldn’t be done.”
The class leader smiled confidently.
There was moisture on the corners of my mouth, as if I had just gone to the bathroom.
“You said it. If I can, I want to apologize in front of the entire school. “I was already thinking about how to write a speech to win over your girlfriend, and it worked out well.”
“uh… .”
“listen carefully.”
The class president sat down and took out a notebook. Swish, swish! Old-fashioned cursive script danced on the ground.
“Hwang Eun-seo apologize to Kim Yul to the point that you are sorry. Then, I take over the microphone and continue my speech by saying, “The school I want to create as student council president is a school where we acknowledge and forgive each other’s mistakes.” okay?”
I do not know.
“It’s about telling a story. It’s not just a speech that just makes promises!”
“…….”
“I don’t know what your girlfriend’s speech may sound like, but she’s super rich. It’s clearly visible. I’ll probably spend my own money to install perfume in all school restrooms, and I’ll make sure you don’t run out of toilet paper. They’ll try to tempt you with things like that. If it’s a pledge showdown, my chances of winning are zero… . okay. “Let’s fight through stories.”
A phrase was written in the class leader’s notebook.

“Uh oh… .”
The class president’s eyes sparkled.
“how is it!”
I feel so bad.
“Now is the era of storytelling! I’m sick of bathroom perfume, toilet paper, that sort of thing. It’s a promise I’ve made every day since I was in elementary school. This will work. Let’s get to the story!”
“hmm.”
but. Student council elections are usually an event where harsh words are raised. If it’s about communication or anything else, you can use any plausible word. The idea the class president came up with right now doesn’t seem bad.
‘More than that, this bastard… … .’
I looked at the class president with new eyes.
‘You’re not interested in anything other than your own election?’
Even though he was the class president, I wondered why he was helping me like this. Selfish bastard. From beginning to end, all you think about is using me for the election.
This class president is indifferent to what is happening in the class. I’m just not interested in what happened to Kim Yul or why I survived. He only gets involved because he thought he could use it in the election. Even the reason for running for election is to get into college!
‘okay.’
But now, looking at the class president, I have completely removed my doubts.
‘This guy actually has a way with words.’
The class president is of the same class as me. Looking at the future. I worry about the future. I have the will to enter a good university and live a good life. How many people are seriously aiming to become student council president in hopes of receiving a recommendation from Seoul National University?
‘It’s similar to me.’
He is much more trustworthy than those who pretend to be nice for no particular reason. He is definitely a guy who will be successful in society.
“But there are only a few days left before the election, right? “Do you really mind if you change your speech because of me?”
“are you okay. “Winning is important.”
The class president smiled.
“If you include making posters and all that, the time devoted to the election alone is 20 hours. “I gave up studying for 20 hours and ran, but I can’t lose.”
‘You bastard. ‘Your way of thinking is similar to mine, isn’t it?’
I believe it even more.
I even feel a sense of familiarity at the thought of being of the same kind.
“I understand, class president. I will definitely help you with anything I can. Instead, should you help me too? Please tell my classmates that I want to make up. “I’m sorry for all this time, and I want to be friends again if possible.”
“huh. good. “It should be a win-win situation.”
The two of us held hands.
“I’m counting on you.”
“I am!”
I helped with the election of class president. Even though I couldn’t help out loud, I edited the speeches and wrote the campaign text together.
Although bullying by classmates has not changed.
In any case, just having something to do at school gives me a lot of psychological stability.
“Hey. “Are you good at writing?”
The class president was satisfied after reading my apology and speech. after school. There were only two of us left in the 5th grade 2nd grade classroom as the sunset was fading.
“Now, as long as you act well, we will win for sure.”
“performance?”
I tilted my head.
“What acting?”
“huh? “Hwang Eun-seo, you actually don’t feel sorry for Kim Yul at all.”
“Oh, it’s okay. Because I’m not blaming you. I don’t think the feeling of apologizing is important, but the attitude of apologizing is important. “Even if I meant to apologize in the first place, I don’t even know what that means.”
The class president waved away my apology.
“You’re apologizing in front of the entire school despite being embarrassed. Where can you find an apology as sincere as that? No matter how sorry you say you are, no matter how sorry you feel, what do you do? Real action must follow. In that respect, Hwang Eun-seo is a hundred times a thousand times better than the other kids.”
hmm.
Umm….
“I secretly asked Kim Yul yesterday too. Is there even one person who has properly apologized so far? But, they said there isn’t one? I heard you were the only one who asked how I could forgive you? really. “The kids in my class also have no shame.”
“Class monitor… you… .”
You really are a communicative kid.
I was a little impressed.
“Oh, of course it worked out well for me. If Eunseo were to [take a picture of my girlfriend! If I had said, ‘I’ll definitely vote for your girlfriend!’, I would have lost dozens of votes. “I pity you for being left out, but honestly, I like it.”
“Wow, you piece of trash… .”
“huh. thank you. “Aren’t all people basically trash?”
I laughed. That is correct. I laughed for the first time since I got dumped by my girlfriend.
‘He really knows something.’
Humans are trash. he is a beast If a human appears to be quiet, it is simply because he has been reduced from an animal to a domestic animal. Only those who figure this out as quickly as possible will survive.
[Your current immersion rate is 100%.]
Then it might not be a goat kid, but a hyena. If you’re lucky, you can even become a lion.
You can succeed.
People who complain that human relationships are difficult do so because they keep trying to see people as people. If you look at it as an animal, there is no problem.
Have no friends? That’s because there’s no benefit to staying with you. At least we can relieve stress by playing together. Do you have many friends? Because there are a lot of benefits to be gained from being with you.
That’s it.
True friendship comes only from true interests.
‘If I’m with him, at least I won’t suffer any loss.’
I grinned.
“Class monitor. “Do you want to eat my friend?”
The class president snorted.
“Once I was elected student council president. The speech is still good, but I need to polish it a bit more. I’m having a hard time making you apologize to the rest of my class right now, right? “If you don’t get elected, it’s in vain.”
“okay. okay! okay. I write really great speeches! Really, I just shed tears and snot while reciting the apology! “I, Hwang Eun-seo, will not sacrifice myself to make our class president the student council president of Shinseo High School!”
“yes. I listened carefully. “Please take care of me, Eunseo.”
We chuckled.
