Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 116
22. Yeokjisaji (易地思之) (6)
The way back home.
When I arrived at Daesan Terminal, I received a call from Chansu Jeong.
[The Park Min-gu case was handled without problem. It is not a failure of the request, but it is not uncommon for problems with the perpetrator to arise in this way. As a member of the Golden Circle, there is no need to cause problems, and B+’s Park Min-gu can be replaced at any time. And above all, since you are the client, there is no one to object to.]
“I understand. “I’ll contact you later.”
[Okay.]
Take it.
I hung up.
I felt confused for a moment when I saw the phone screen that said Chansu Jeong.
“…It happens often.”
korea.
In this small piece of land, numerous incidents of school violence, large and small, occur every day, but people dismiss them as childish wandering. Kids might fight among themselves. Just like we did, we grow up by fighting. Because the roots of school violence could not be rooted out, a flower called the Golden Circle bloomed.
Among the countless events that are still passing by.
It was unknown how many incidents were linked to the Golden Circle.
I wasn’t burned with a sense of justice.
Kim Hyun-seong did not intend to punish the Golden Circle for the greater good, but purely for his own revenge.
Malice was seething.
Whenever I reflected on reality, I became thirsty for the destruction of the Golden Circle.
“after-.”
I took a breath.
I swallowed my malice.
Now is not the time to be buried in revenge.
Although he exposed his true self against Jung Min-ho, he needed to cool his head when he returned to reality. If you become blind, you cannot see an inch ahead. This life was not just about revenge, but he also had to take care of his people, such as his family, so a middle path was needed.
I took a step.
On the way back home, I stopped by the supermarket to get some groceries.
I picked a few items.
And now, as I was heading to the checkout counter, I collided with a short woman who turned the corner without looking ahead.
Quadang!
“ah!”
“Are you okay?”
It was the other person’s fault.
It was clear that the other person was responsible for the sudden attack, but Kim Hyun-seong didn’t want to get into an emotional fight, so he reached out first. But the other person’s reaction was strange. The woman, who at first tried to raise her head in annoyance, quickly lowered her head and stood up.
“…are you okay. “Just go.”
The face was not visible.
Since I had my hood down from the beginning, there was no way to tell who the other person was.
The woman hurriedly left the supermarket as if running away.
The owner ran out and shouted as he saw the items being thrown away on the counter, but he didn’t even look back.
“….”
Kim Hyun-seong stared at the woman’s back.
I could hear the owner complaining next to me.
“No, he really is a person without a case. “If you pick out so much and throw it away, who is going to clean it all up?”
Above the counter.
Snacks scattered around in a mess caught Kim Hyun-seong’s attention.
* * *
Kim Hyun-seong clearly did not see his face.
It was a fleeting moment, and because I ran away in a hurry, I didn’t have time to catch up with the other person and ask them anything.
And yet.
I recognized the other person.
The other person’s body shape and a short moan.
That alone was enough.
As expected, Go Chang-beom’s serious voice was heard over the phone.
[It’s as you expected. I spent some money to look into it in detail, and it seems that Oh Hye-ji’s case was fabricated. They argued with the doctor at the hospital and pretended that the Achilles tendon had been severed. Isn’t this such a tearful denial? In the meantime, he didn’t want to harm his daughter, so he came up with a method like this.]
The identity of the other person.
It was Oh Hye-ji.
The reason for the sudden flight was fully explained.
Oh Hye-ji stopped by the supermarket while hiding her identity, and when she saw Kim Hyun-seong, it seemed like she hurriedly hid her face and ran away. For Oh Hye-ji, this would be like a lightning strike. How could it be that I was in that place at that time, and that I was running into Kim Hyun-seong instead of someone else?
[What should I do? Should we bundle up the doctor and Oh Hye-ji and send them away?]
This is the current situation.
Go Chang-beom knew his role.
The reason he can rise to the position of chairman is because Kim Hyun-seong helps him get the revenge he wants.
then.
The choice was obvious.
The calm voice proved Ko Chang-beom’s faith.
Normally, there are quite a few cases where one throws one’s head to death when one’s goal is achieved, but Go Chang-beom did not give Kim Hyun-seong any room because he was afraid that Kim Hyun-seong might think such things. The fact that he possessed the right attitude to match the power he possessed. The voice he spoke calmly as if it was nothing said everything.
In fact, preparations had already been completed.
If Kim Hyun-seong gives permission, Oh Hye-ji and the doctor will never be able to live at the bottom of Daesan again.
however.
“No, it’s okay. “Just leave it alone.”
Hyunseong Kim gave an unexpected answer.
* * *
It was truly unexpected.
The opponent is Oh Hye-ji.
A being that would be unpleasant even if you chewed on it and threw Kim Hyun-seong into the abyss.
Even though everything could be sorted out with just one request, Kim Hyun-seong clearly stated his intention to refuse.
“Actually, I was expecting it to some extent. There is no way a father who enlists the Golden Circle even though he knows it is wrong for his daughter would abandon her so easily. If you think about it, it’s a simple problem. “I probably thought that since I had enough money and power, I could solve the problem by simply showing the ‘results’ I wanted.”
[And yet you just left it alone?]
“Yes, that also has its own meaning.”
Snacks scattered on the counter.
Looking at that, Hyunseong Kim felt a shiver rise from his toes.
“Do you know what Oh Hye-ji bought when she stopped by the supermarket? They’re just snacks. Sweets jelly ice cream. I’m going to buy snacks that are nothing. I was worried that he might run into me, so I came out with my hood pulled down. Why did they do that? It may be that she really wanted to eat it, but Oh Hye-ji has been living as a cripple for several months already. It must have been frustrating. At that time, the house ran out of food and my parents were not nearby, so I probably went outside to get some fresh air out of fear of being caught. Maybe not this one time. “It is possible that she has come out like this often, but after just one meeting today, Oh Hye-ji would be in hell right now.”
He smiled softly.
From Jung Min-ho to Oh Hye-ji, they couldn’t help but keep laughing.
“What if you recognize me? I must never go out again. I can move on my own two feet, but I can’t walk in front of others. I can open the door, but I can’t go outside. “That is hell.”
I looked back on the past.
Being in a vegetative state and not being able to move.
Not being able to move with a normal body.
Who suffers more?
The weight of pain cannot be measured on a scale, but Kim Hyun-seong knew without a doubt that both were tremendous pains.
So I watched.
Oh Hye-ji’s father might not really cut his Achilles, but the fact that he was trying to look like it was enough. If you say you want to go to hell and live there. I was planning to keep living like that. If I run out of hell out of frustration, I plan to show that there is an even worse hell.
The father and daughter’s lives have already been ruined.
And one day, they will both resent each other.
Why did you put such a request on your daughter and why couldn’t she protect you?
From the moment resentment erodes their relationship, they will probably end up living a life worse than a vegetative state.
I was thrilled.
For over a dozen years.
I thought and thought about what kind of revenge would be most ideal.
I could never allow the peaceful rest of death by simply visiting and stabbing it with a knife.
As painfully as possible.
And for a long time.
He hoped that he would experience the same despair as he did.
I was so happy that Oh Hye-ji and Jung Min-ho were like that.
[…Hyunseong. I’m telling you this, but if I ever made you disappointed, please tell me. I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t want to lose sight of you.]
“Don’t worry. “If you don’t betray me first, I have no intention of doing so.”
On the way home.
The bumpy and steep uphill road didn’t feel that difficult.
When he climbed steadily and almost reached the house, Kim Hyun-seong stood tall and took a deep breath.
It was refreshing.
And the sky I looked up at.
It really couldn’t be clearer than this.
* * *
Conquest of Daesan.
Competition for successor.
Even Jung Min-ho and Oh Hye-ji.
As the time passed by, Kim Hyun-seong organized the things he had to do one by one.
Time passed really quickly.
Summer vacation had arrived before I knew it, the second semester had just begun, and when I came to my senses, a chilly wind was blowing.
The end of the second year is approaching.
When I declared the conquest of Daesan, I thought an eventful year would await me, but after dealing with all the major events, nothing special happened. All schools in Daesan strictly followed the discipline of Kim Hyun-seong, following the example of Jeong Hae-min, and Myungjin Construction steadily carried out the process of succeeding Go Chang-beom as chairman.
Those were smooth days.
Even so, it did not mean that Kim Hyun-seong’s day was smooth.
Huh –
it was a bloody sound.
As Kim Si-woo’s fist passed over his head, Kim Hyun-seong boldly penetrated the inner space and extended his fist.
Wow.
Pak pak pak!
The battle went back and forth in an instant.
Kim Si-woo immediately raised his arm to block Kim Hyun-sung’s fist and tried to break Kim Hyun-sung with a one-two that penetrated the guard. Kim Hyun-seong also reacted quickly. The two had been sparring for so long that large drops of sweat were scattered in all directions, showing their intense enthusiasm for destroying each other.
at last.
Beep beep beep beep!
It’s time.
Kim Si-woo collapsed to the ground and took a deep breath.
“Whoosh whoosh.” Aren’t you tired? “You played 5 rounds of 5 minutes, how can you still look so good?”
“just. “Is it worth doing more than you think?”
5 rounds of 5 minutes.
It was a difficult time for even professional athletes to handle.
Kim Si-woo lay down flat.
Last year.
To be exact, Kim Hyun-seong and Kim Si-woo did not miss a single day of training during that period of time.
It was an intense time.
Director Jeong Doo-cheol did not allow us to stand still even for a moment and immediately raised the level of difficulty as soon as he thought it was worth doing. In fact, I couldn’t even tell how much I had improved. As Kim Hyun-seong and Kim Si-woo sparred with each other every day, they developed together and were bound to be fierce each time.
but.
Kim Si-woo instinctively knew.
Hyunseong Kim never once used his full power against him.
Although he himself had grown by leaps and bounds, he could not have dared to guess the world that Kim Hyun-seong had reached.
It was then.
The door opened and Jeong Doo-cheol came in.
Squeak.
“Looking at your face, it looks like you trained properly.”
“Ah, director.”
Jeong Doo-cheol did not do all the training together.
Two hours a day were spent training with Jeong Doo-cheol, and the rest of the time Kim Hyun-seong and Kim Si-woo conducted their own training.
This sparring was a decision between the two.
Jeong Doo-cheol looked at the two drenched in sweat and said.
“Now the training is coming to an end. Hyunseong told me at first. I’m not asking you to look after me for the rest of your life, but just until the winter of your second year. Until then, please raise yourself to a level where there is no rival.”
It was really the last minute.
When winter comes, our time in Daesan will come to an end.
Jeong Doo-cheol’s eyes turned serious.
Now that the end is approaching, he has prepared something.
“You both free up your time this weekend. From now on, we’re going to go and get proof of the results of my work.”
“Where are we going?”
It was Kim Si-woo’s question.
Looking at him, Jeong Doo-cheol reacted calmly.
“We are going to Seoul, Seoul.”
