Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 1

1. The return of evil (1)

The wind blew.

Feeling the wind wrapping around his body, Kim Hyun-seong looked up with shaking eyes.

‘…why.’

On the rooftop.

He could see the faces of his friends clinging to the wall, looking down at him.

Rather than being his friends, they were the so-called trash guys at this school who had been bullying him for a long time. Hyunseong Kim suffered from bullying from his first year of high school until his third year. Every day was like hell, but I persevered and continued my studies to the end.

soon.

It was graduation.

But why?

Am I falling from the rooftop?

I couldn’t understand why.

Kim Hyun-seong was not a very eccentric person, he was loyal to his studies and relationships with his friends, he was good at sports, and he was not bad at fighting to the point where he was looked down on by other friends. So I couldn’t understand it even more. I wondered why I, who had lived so hard, ended up in such a miserable situation, falling from the roof of a building.

One thing is certain.

Crack.

puck.

He said he was dead.

* * *

Not exactly dead.

When Kim Hyun-seong barely regained consciousness, the voice in his ear told him of the hopeless reality.

“grandma. It’s already been three months. It’s a bit hard to say this as a caregiver, but I’ve never seen a patient who was in a vegetative state wake up. So, put your mind at ease. “Grandma still has other grandchildren who are alive and well.”

“What are you talking about! My grandson is alive and well! “Then what are you saying that this child is already dead?!”

“No, that’s not what it sounds like.”

It was noisy.

Hearing the voice of the grandmother arguing with the person who was presumed to be her caregiver sitting next to her, Kim Hyun-seong realized that she was in a vegetative state. I felt like I was losing my mind for a moment. I remember falling from the roof, but I couldn’t believe I had become a vegetable when I wasn’t even dealing with a minor illness.

At first, I denied reality.

Aren’t you conscious?

I believed I would soon gain control of my body and open my eyes, but no matter how much time passed, I could not escape the pitch-black world. It was clearly not brain dead. I could feel myself being touched, voices in my ears, and thoughts in my head, but other than that, nothing else was allowed.

It was devastating.

It was hopeless.

A long time passed before I accepted reality, and during that time, I heard various stories in my ears.

“…Our pretty Hyunseong. I have to get up now. “How did this happen?”

“Hehehehehe Hyunseong. Those damn kites are telling you to give up on you. How could I do that? “No matter how many years I took you in and raised you when you were abandoned after losing your parents, I can never give up on this grandmother.”

“If it’s okay just once, send a signal that you’re alive.”

It was my grandmother’s voice.

For Kim Hyun-seong, who lost his parents in an accident at an early age, his grandmother was the only person he could rely on. However, my grandmother came to the hospital every day and spent time crying. Kim Hyun-seong was a strong person who didn’t usually cry, but the sound of him crying made Kim Hyun-seong feel like he was going crazy.

That wasn’t all.

Whenever my grandmother was away, I could hear the voice of a young boy.

“brother. I can’t hold on any longer. The kids who were bullying my brother are also bullying me, and my grandmother hurt her back while working at a restaurant to pay for my brother’s hospital bills. What are you really asking me to do? If it’s going to end up like this, I’d rather die. “If he had just died in peace, we wouldn’t have had this much trouble.”

“Please wake up. “It’s okay for me to continue living like this, so please at least wake up.”

My one and only younger brother.

Kim Hyun-jin’s words were shocking.

Still, he never pretended to know Hyunjin even while attending the same school so that the people who bullied him wouldn’t harm Kim Hyunjin. But even my younger brother is being tormented. I felt like my mind was completely falling apart. In a situation where it was difficult to even accept the fact that he had become a vegetable, he chose death countless times in his head whenever he heard the voices of his family in pain every day.

but.

I couldn’t die.

That’s what being in a vegetative state was like.

Because he couldn’t do anything on his own, he was in a vegetative state, and Kim Hyun-seong’s mind fell into an abyss.

Time passed.

A day or two.

One week, two days.

And… one year.

Unlike the long day, time passed quickly.

* * *

Denial.

Angry.

Compromised.

As time passed, the time came to accept reality, but Kim Hyun-sung’s spirit, which had reached the stage of compromise, returned to anger. I couldn’t accept it. I felt like my mind was wearing out as time went by.

What on earth did he do wrong?

First year of high school.

Kim Hyun-seong, who thought he did better in school than anyone else, ended up being singled out by a group of students due to a single argument. Actually, it wasn’t a big deal. Because of what happened that day, the group bullied Kim Hyun-seong so persistently that he couldn’t understand it, and it continued until his third year of high school.

Transferring schools was not an option.

In the area where Kim Hyun-seong lived, there were not many options for moving to school, and moving was a very burdensome choice as he lived with his grandmother. So I endured the painful reality. I went home every day, trying to hide my bruised body with clothes, thinking that I just had to survive three years of high school.

The result.

This was the situation.

Hyunseong Kim fell from the rooftop after receiving a call from the team as he was about to enter the final gate of high school.

I was angry.

Anger arose.

The target of anger was clear.

Everyone who bullied him.

Adults who watched them.

They made themselves like this.

My mind is worn out.

Kim Hyun-seong, who had often been told that he was kind and respectful of his elders, was increasingly overcome by evil, and he could only think negatively. If the. Really, if you had the chance to turn back time, how would you live? If I had known I would be treated like this, I would have run away. If I can’t escape, I’d rather kill them first.

one year.

This bitch.

Three years.

Time passed like light.

The younger brother stopped walking and the caregiver could be heard laughing and talking as the grandmother collapsed.

Meanwhile, the sound of the TV turned on loudly penetrated my ears as if I didn’t care about the patients’ condition.

[Top star A is involved in a scandal…]

[National Assembly member Pan-ho Kim…]

[This is shocking news. The true nature of the forces leading school violence has been revealed. [They…]

were the only pleasure in life.

Listening to news of the world.

When I heard one of those stories, Kim Hyun-seong thought.

‘If something miraculous happens to me, I will definitely destroy all those who made me like this.’

supported by evil

The good boy wasn’t there.

But the miracle did not come true.

It was natural that it would not come true.

Kim Hyun-seong replayed the past countless times in his head.

I regretted what happened back then so much that I planned in detail how I would act if I went back to that day from beginning to end. It was just a delusion. A vain dream that will never come true. Even though I knew that fact, I felt like I would go crazy if I didn’t do something like that because I had to live as a vegetable.

My grandmother was a great person.

He held on to Kim Hyun-seong, who was in a vegetative state, until 10 years after his death and did not give up.

And when I heard that my grandmother had passed away.

Kim Hyun-seong’s spirit completely collapsed.

To be precise, I let go of the spirit I was barely holding on to.

now.

I couldn’t live without going crazy.

* * *

How much time has passed?

Now I have even forgotten the concept of time.

From the time consciousness was awakened until it fell into darkness again, Kim Hyun-seong frantically beat up the people who made him like this in his head. I didn’t care about the blood splattering on my face and the voices telling me to save my life. No matter how sick they were, it was nothing compared to myself, who had become a vegetable. Compared to their grandmother, who died after suffering for 10 years, they must be living very happily.

I lived crazy.

Now, I wish someone would end this life so that I can no longer prolong it.

Then one day.

Hyunseong Kim had a strange dream.

I met someone there and had a conversation.

I was satisfied.

Kim Hyun-seong smiled at the fact that even though it was just a dream, we were able to have this conversation.

And when I came to my senses again.

Kim Hyun-seong faced a reality he could not accept.

* * *

Tweet.

I heard birdsong.

When I raised my head and looked out the window, I saw a tree, and when I looked straight ahead again, there was a blackboard with chalk. It was something so familiar. Anyone who received a basic education in Korea was bound to encounter this scene countless times in their lives.

“…What is this?”

“Hahahaha.”

“You crazy bastard right there.”

The surroundings were noisy.

When I looked to the side, I saw two boys wearing high school uniforms chasing me and screaming. The classroom was a mess because of them. As the chair fell over and the desk overturned, the female students sitting in the seats screamed for them to stop, but the male students did not pay any attention.

It was from then on.

Thump thump thump thump.

My heart was pounding like crazy.

Kim Hyun-seong could not believe the information his senses were giving him, as if he could hear the sound of his heart in his ears.

‘…You really went back to the past?’

yesterday.

Hyunseong Kim had a dream.

I thought it was just a delusion.

The words I was talking about in my dreams were completely unachievable, and in fact, I had had countless dreams that were like these illusions. Hyunseong Kim pinched his cheek without realizing it. It was a little painful, but I couldn’t accept the reality at this level, so I stabbed the visible sharpener into my thigh.

Deep.

It hurt.

As I lifted the mechanical pencil, my eyes wavered as blood dripped from the tip.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the blood droplets that seemed to be more real than the pain I felt in my thighs.

‘It means I’m really back.’

Return.

It was certain.

Pain irritating the thigh.

The surrounding scenery.

I couldn’t explain it in other words.

The moment I thought my earnest wish had come true, I heard a sound shattering my peaceful reality.

Quang!

“You fucking bastard!”

It was an intense voice.

Something rolling on the ground.

A curse hurled at it.

The students in the classroom suddenly fell silent.

The boys, who did not stop chasing no matter how much the girls screamed, looked at the situation at the back of the classroom and quietly took refuge in the hallway. However, it didn’t go away completely. Like students rushing in after hearing the commotion, they looked with interest to see what interesting things were happening in the hallway.

“What kind of bastard? Do you want me to take care of it now? “If you were going to do it yourself, would I have made you do it?”

Puk puk puk.

It was the sound of violence.

I was used to it.

A moan of pain, a curse that would make the class go away.

Thump thump thump thump.

Hyunseong Kim’s heart was pounding like it was going to explode.

This situation.

I had no choice but to get used to it.

First year of high school.

The starting point of suffering from violence.

It was like that.

At the moment he had longed for, he was existing as Kim Hyun-seong, a first-year high school student.
