Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 172
32. Head-on approach (4)
When Kim Hyun-seong was investigated.
I said this intentionally.
“Not all plans will work out the way you want them to. No matter how much Park Min-cheol testifies about me, my classmates who experienced Park Min-cheol in Cheonil. And a thousand days of teachers. Because it will prove how unreliable the testimony of Park Min-cheol and other witnesses is. “If this incident ends abruptly, you will never be able to sell me like this again.”
It was calm.
Even after hearing the Golden Circle’s plan and knowing what they were planning to do after kicking him out of school.
Kim Hyun-seong did not waver.
It was intentional pressure.
The purpose was to shake the mentality of Park Min-cheol, who was watching him, and induce a ‘special plan’ to happen later. The police looked at Kim Hyun-seong as if it was funny. For Park Min-cheol, the current threat may have worked, but Kim Hyun-sung’s situation, in his judgment, was as dangerous as a lantern in the wind.
The police laughed.
“I thought you were smart, but at times like this, you still don’t know reality. The only people who can testify in this case are those whose lives are tied to them. In that case, your classmates will just roll their eyes and give up, and in the end, Oh Dae-hwan and Kim Young-cheol, who looked after you, will struggle. by the way. Do you really think the teachers’ testimony is effective? “Just as you tried to criticize the testimony of Park Min-cheol and other witnesses, there is no way we wouldn’t use that method as well.”
I stuck my head in.
Kim Hyun-seong’s eyes were filled with hostility, as if he was going to eat him.
“Are you really taking the world lightly?”
Does the other person know?
To get to this moment.
How desperately have you struggled?
In order to destroy the Golden Circle, he changed his plans countless times and did not allow his guard down at all.
The eyes turned cold.
Kim Hyun-seong fully accepted the other person’s malice.
* * *
I hung up the phone with Hyunseong Kim.
Oh Dae-hwan wandered around the hallway restlessly.
He listened to Kim Young-cheol’s voice urging him next to him and headed toward the teacher’s office as if he had decided on something.
“Let’s talk separately for a moment.”
I called in someone from the audit department.
He moved to an empty counseling room and spoke with a tearful expression that changed from his confident demeanor.
“I surrender.”
“What does that mean?”
“I will do as you are told. If unfavorable testimony is needed regarding Kim Hyun-seong, I will actively testify as the principal of Cheonil. So please open a way for me to live. The inscription of Cheonil is only at the beginning, but if I collapse like this, Cheonil’s future will also be over. Please give me just one chance to make it up to you.”
A white flag was raised.
I am in a situation where I have been abandoned by Kim Hyun-seong.
In that case, I thought that I should somehow survive, even if it meant selling Kim Hyun-seong.
however.
The audit department staff reacted rather mockingly.
“I think you are seriously mistaken. You and Myungjin Construction are different. Myungjin Construction was a target for inclusion because it gave actual power to Kim Hyun-seong, but you and Kim Young-cheol. Now that Kim Hyun-seong has transferred to another school, he is nothing more than a being. And above all, your allegations are practically living evidence to criticize ‘Kim Hyun-seong’. Rather than proving how wrong Kim Hyun-sung is, the evidence that you took bribes from Kim Hyun-sung will be a more powerful weapon to bring down Kim Hyun-sung. But why would I spare you?”
“Please. “There must be something we can do!”
“I guess so. The problem is that the higher-ups said this. Beware of Kim Hyun-seong. When I saw his actions of preparing for every situation and counterattacking, I couldn’t believe what would happen if I thought he was just a high school student. You just did. You called Hyunseong Kim, right? If Kim Hyun-seong planned some kind of plan and surrendered intentionally, then there is no need for us to take the risk you pose. “The gain from killing you is greater than the gain from risking even 1%.”
Kim Hyun-seong’s remarks.
His words and actions in the investigation room became a problem.
It was relayed to the higher-ups through the police, and as it made its way down to the auditor’s office, speculation was raised that Kim Hyun-seong may have been preparing for an attack on Cheonil High School. So, is there a reason to include Oh Dae-hwan and Kim Young-cheol? They are not worth as much as Myungjin Construction, so by completely crushing them, it will be a clear benefit excluding risk.
blast furnace.
“Just die, you idiot.”
Outsider.
Oh Dae-hwan’s complexion turned pale.
* * *
The hellish investigation is over.
Kim Young-cheol was excluded from class and left work early, but could not return home until the sun set.
Alleyway near the house.
Under the streetlight, Kim Young-cheol took a cigarette with a nervous look on his face.
“ha.”
Really.
It was a situation where I could only sigh.
I lost my job that I had held for decades.
I was in a situation where I could go to jail, so my pension was in jeopardy, and I didn’t know if I would have to sell my house if I had to pay all the money I had received as a fine. The problem is that that’s not the biggest problem. The things mentioned above can be said to have led a dirty life for the sake of the family, but adultery was a completely different story.
An affair with Lee Min-young.
Everyone found out.
It was only a matter of time before it reached my wife’s ears, so my mind was tangled with thoughts of explaining it.
‘Now that I am broke. If I divorce my wife, it’s completely over. Lee Min-young, that year, also wanted to explain things to her husband, so she even asked to completely cut off ties with me. What do we do? ‘How on earth do we resolve this situation?’
Tuk.
I threw the cigarette, including the filter, on the floor.
There were already heaps of cigarette butts under his feet, but Kim Young-cheol bit down on his next cigarette like a sick person.
“Kim Hyun -sung is the problem. “If you had stopped the audit department kids, there wouldn’t have been this problem in the first place.”
Past days passed through my mind.
Hyunseong Kim.
I thought I was lucky to have a relationship with him.
Even when I was receiving kickbacks from Myeongjin Construction and going to karaoke every day, I was convinced that this was the greatest prime of Kim Young-cheol’s life. Now it was just a kite with no strings attached. This is how Oh Dae-hwan reacted to Kim Young-cheol, who asked the truth despite knowing that it was wrong to see Oh Dae-hwan leaving the counseling room with a pale face.
“older brother. How…”
“What kind of brother are you! Get out of here, you bastard!”
finished.
How to survive now.
All I could do was explain it somehow.
I threw away my last cigarette.
Kim Young-cheol took a breath, thought over several plausible excuses, and headed home.
And when I opened the door to my house.
“Honey….”
“This crazy bastard dares cheat?”
Wow!
Immediately my cheek flew off.
* * *
My cheeks were tingling.
Normally, he would have yelled at her if she was crazy, but Kim Young-cheol, who had done something wrong, hurriedly stopped his wife.
“Honey honey! “Please listen to me!”
“Do you have something to say now?”
“So, really, I have my own circumstances?”
My wife’s eyes rolled back.
After hitting Kim Young-cheol several times, she took a breath and spoke with fierce eyes.
“Tell me something. “Let’s see what kind of bullshit they say.”
I finally calmed down.
It was the last chance.
Kim Young-cheol calmly said what he thought.
“This is a conspiracy.”
“depot ship? “Some crazy person would frame something like this!”
“Yes, that would be common sense. Even if I were in your position, I would think this makes absolutely no sense. There are really complex issues here. I’m not sure how to explain this concept of the golden circle. Anyway, there are some bastards who are trash, right? They are persecuting and harassing our students, so I stood up to them without compromising, and now they are trying to bring me down with these false accusations. Just give me a little time and I can fully explain. What kind of group is the Golden Circle and that they are bad guys who can frame something like this? And not only me, but also Principal Oh Dae-hwan’s head was blown off? Ah, Myeongjin Construction! “The Myungjin Construction incident was all done by the Golden Circle.”
It was the greatest excuse.
To turn away.
This was all there was.
If I were to admit the truth, I didn’t think there would be any room for consideration even if I thought about it myself.
“So you were slandered while doing your duty as a teacher? “You’ve never committed an affair or anything like that?”
“That’s right!”
“You’re such a no-good bastard.”
My wife walked somewhere with great strides.
He came carrying a box that was placed in one corner of the living room and poured it out to Kim Young-cheol as if to show off.
Chrrrrrr.
“Can you say that even after seeing this?”
“This is…?”
Kim Young-cheol’s complexion turned pale.
There were numerous photos.
Not just one or two, but hundreds of photos.
It contained Kim Young-cheol’s private life.
Photos of Lee Min-young and Lee entering different motels.
A photo of a girl with a red face playing with him in a bar.
There was no room for excuses.
Hundreds of photos all point to infidelity, so what excuse can you make in this situation?
My wife shouted at Kim Young-cheol, who was frozen.
“I wanted to forgive you anyway. But only once or twice. How could I live with you when I saw these pictures with my own eyes? Prepare for divorce right now. “Even though I find it disgusting that you lied until the very end, I will definitely divorce you and take everything as alimony without leaving you even a single penny.”
“honey!”
“Where are you from? 당장 내 집에서 나가 이 개새끼야!”
* * *
The sky fell.
Now that he has lost his family, which was his only hope, Kim Young-cheol heads somewhere with a face filled with anger.
A bar in Daesan.
As soon as he entered, Kim Young-cheol shouted, “Whale, whale!”
“You bastards! “Everyone come out!”
Quang!
Crash!
As soon as I entered, I kicked the table.
He threw chairs, broke bottles, and acted like crazy with his eyes rolling.
“teacher! You can’t do this here!”
“Why on earth are you doing this?”
Employees hurriedly ran out and blocked it.
It seemed like business was in full swing, with customers sticking their heads out and female employees stomping their feet. Normally, Kim Young-cheol would have thought about his reputation as a teacher, but now it was different. I lost everything. Work, property, and family. Right now, he had nothing but great anger towards ‘someone’ who made him like this.
Sigh.
He grabbed the employee by the collar.
Then he waved the photo in front of his eyes.
“Why are you doing that? “Why the fuck are you saying that even after seeing this?”
It was a photo.
A photo of Kim Young-cheol hanging out at a bar.
“How on earth did this photo come out of my wife’s hands? You fucking bastards. Common sense tells us that there is no way a photo like this could exist without someone taking it inside a bar. Please explain. “Please explain before I destroy this whole bar!”
A photo of you entering a motel?
That could be it.
There were many situations in which evidence of his affair with Lee Min-young would have been left behind if someone who followed him intentionally filmed it.
But it’s not a bar.
This would have been impossible unless it was filmed by someone who was in the same space, and if that were the case, it meant that there was someone behind the scene who had prepared for this current situation. I was enraged by that malice. Who on earth are they to push themselves into a corner? If my life was already over, I wanted to express my anger at someone.
“I will sue. In return for ruining my family….”
“Mr. Kim Young-cheol. “Please answer the phone.”
It was then.
As I was screaming loudly, a man who appeared to be the owner of the bar handed me a landline phone with a calm expression.
I was puzzled.
Who on earth?
To the store too?
The man explained with a questioning look in his eyes.
“Because they said they wouldn’t answer their cell phones. “If you receive this, you will be able to fully understand the current situation.”
Moment.
The eyes changed.
Someone on the other end of the phone.
I thought he was the culprit.
As soon as Kim Young-cheol answered the phone, he was about to swear when he heard a familiar voice on the other end of the phone.
[Why aren’t you answering the phone?]
“You can’t believe it….”
My eyes widened.
The corners of my eyes were trembling.
[Yes, that’s right. I’m the one who sent the evidence of the affair to my wife.]
The person on the other end of the phone.
He was none other than Kim Hyun-seong.
