Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 28

7. Kim Si-woo (1)

The day I had a big fight with Park Jin-woo.

Kim Si-woo lay in the health room and stared blankly at the ceiling.

“…What on earth happened?”

I didn’t understand.

Hyunseong Kim.

Jukmagou, who spent his childhood with him, was clearly a bright friend with no darkness to be found until not long ago. Unfavorable family circumstances and poor family circumstances. It was no problem to him. Seeing Kim Hyun-sung achieve top grades and promise to succeed, Kim Si-woo thought that he was a friend worth respecting and following.

however.

People suddenly changed.

With eyes shining with venom, Kim Hyun-seong said that he had experienced a ‘catastrophe’ that could not be clearly explained.

‘What is clear is that Hyunseong is sincere. It’s clear that something happened that made Hyeon-seong, who was kind enough to give up his future and dedicate his life to exterminating the Iljin, to vent his evil intentions. And I didn’t even notice that the friend I considered my closest was going through such a change.’

“…Fuck.”

It was devastating.

I was filled with anger towards myself.

If he had figured out the situation in advance, there would have been a chance to stop Kim Hyun-seong before he changed like this. No, the event that was described as a disaster may not have occurred.

‘What should I do from now on?’

Today’s work.

People who haven’t experienced it don’t know.

The evil and closed space awaiting you.

Knowing how strong Park Jin-Woo was, he resisted them, suppressing his fear even though he expected a miserable future. Even now, when I think of that time, my body trembles. Kim Si-woo was accustomed to suffering, but being surrounded by people and experiencing extreme violence was something he could not get used to.

If the person behind Park Jin-woo is Shin Young-min.

This will be a common occurrence in the future.

As someone who wanted to live a normal life, there was a need to take a step away from him, as Kim Hyun-sung advised.

“…I’m not saying I’m going to get excellent grades, graduate from a good university, and get a decent job like ordinary kids, but I’m going to pour my life into eradicating the iljins.”

Words spat out fiercely.

Seething malice.

Kim Hyun-seong was sincere.

Since he was not a friend who would ever spout nonsense, Kim Si-woo could not have hastily said that he would participate in the plan. In the process, if one person goes wrong or if a problem occurs to you. At that time, not just a disciplinary committee, but life itself may end.

I stared at the ceiling endlessly.

The throbbing pain and realistic concerns were now completely buried in the great being named Kim Hyun-seong.

When I was so lost in thought.

Jump up!

“Siwoo, you’re in big trouble!”

A friend came to the health room.

* * *

It was unreal.

What my friend was talking about did not at least correspond to common sense.

“Because it’s real. After dropping you off at the health room, Hyeonseong went straight to see Shin Youngmin. And then…”

The corners of his eyes trembled.

My friend talked in an extremely excited tone about the series of situations in which Kim Hyun-seong hit Shin Young-min, as if he was explaining an action movie. As a result, Cheonil was in an uproar. It was an incident that completely changed the world of Cheonil, and there were rumors that Kim Hyun-seong was trying to take down Shin Young-min and take over the ‘Cheonil Throne’.

This is great.

Most people gave Kim Hyun-seong a thumbs up for his boldness, but Kim Si-woo took this issue completely differently.

‘Really you…’

Why on earth does Hyunseong Kim?

Did he recklessly hit Shin Young-min?

To avenge Park Jin-woo’s actions?

To ascend to the Thousand Day Throne?

no.

Hyunseong Kim is not a friend who would be interested in such issues.

The reason he attacked Shin Young-min even though he knew he wouldn’t be able to handle it was probably because there was a clear purpose.

‘It was probably to protect me. Because Hyunseong is that kind of friend.’

I bit my lip.

I was overwhelmed with emotions.

The sure thing to gain by recklessly attacking Shin Young-min is the recognition that if you mess with Kim Hyun-seong’s person carelessly, problems will arise. There was only myself in that category. Of course, before the Park Min-cheol gang incident, he maintained good relationships with all his other friends, but after the problem began in earnest, he was the only person he could call a friend.

blast furnace.

It was for myself.

Seeing himself lying on the floor bleeding, Kim Hyun-seong decided what to do next and took action.

I was sorry.

I felt miserable.

I was so scared when I fought with Park Jin-woo, but I couldn’t control my emotions when I remembered Kim Hyun-seong climbing the stairs to go to the third grade classroom. Kim Hyun-seong has not changed from past to present. Only the level of violence was extreme, and when Kim Si-woo first formed a relationship with Kim Hyun-seong, the same aspects were there as they are now.

Very young days.

Kim Si-woo, who looks pretty, was bullied by his friends, but Kim Hyun-seong stepped in to fight off the bad friends.

Because of that incident, the two became friends.

Kim Si-woo started Taekwondo so that he would never be bullied again, and at some point, he was classified as someone not to be messed with at school. Although my body grew, my childhood memories were not forgotten. Because of that warm feeling at that time, Kim Si-woo could never give up on Kim Hyun-seong.

Past life too.

And even now.

To Kim Si-woo, Kim Hyun-seong was a very special person.

After chatting for a while, my friend left the health room.

Kim Si-woo, who was left alone looking out the window, looked like he had made up his mind.

“…You are a really bad guy. “There’s no way I’m giving up on you when you do that.”

* * *

And now.

Kim Hyun-seong reacted nervously to Kim Si-woo’s appearance.

“Director. “The new official was Si-woo?”

“uh? “Do you two know each other?”

Jeong Doo-cheol’s eyes widened.

I only received a request for counseling, but I had no idea that Kim Si-woo was related to Kim Hyun-sung.

The fact that I go to the gym.

Hyunseong Kim has never said anything.

Then the purpose was obvious.

Kim Si-woo, who did not give up on himself even in his past life, would have definitely come to the gym with the intention of sticking with him until the end. It was a development I did not wish for. Kim Si-woo could not be included in the future, which was by no means hopeful. Ironically, the more Kim Si-woo showed sincerity towards him, the more Kim Hyun-seong did not want to drag him down to the bottom of a life seething with malice.

Hyunseong Kim said.

“I’m really sorry, but please don’t ever accept it. I’d rather pay for the gymnasium fee that Siwoo agreed to pay…”

“I don’t like it?”

Jeong Doo-cheol laughed.

A series of situations.

I could roughly see the picture.

It seems that a guy who appears to be Kim Hyun-seong’s friend followed suit, but with that problem, it was impossible to accept some people and not others. I thought it went well. Even so, I was worried that Kim Hyun-seong would have an accident if things continued like this, but wouldn’t the situation get better if at least one friend was there?

100 million won?

It was already in his pocket.

He only had a duty to make Kim Hyun-seong stronger, and there was no reason to be more obedient than that.

“No matter how much we have entered into a relationship through a special contract, it is up to me to decide whether to hire someone to this gym or not. You said that was over-authority. So stop talking nonsense and just go in. “Today’s workout is over.”

That was the end.

He lightly ignored the voice that followed and smiled brightly as he looked at Kim Si-woo, who was standing blankly.

“Handsome customer over there. “The counseling room is over here.”

* * *

Excluding exceptions (?) like Kim Hyun-seong, this was the first new consultation in a long time.

Jeong Doo-cheol, who had intended to conduct the consultation with sincerity, soon showed an expression of bewilderment.

“…So you want to become stronger to help Hyeonseong?”

“yes.”

“Do you know that Hyeonseong’s goal is to wipe out all the Iljin people?”

“yes.”

“Plague.”

I felt dizzy.

Jeong Doo-cheol leaned crookedly, his expression distorted.

“Do you think our gym is a place that encourages school violence? I don’t know what you’re thinking when you say that, but it’s absolutely not possible. “Kim Hyun-seong is enough to accept it for that purpose.”

“I understand. “I don’t think school violence serves the purpose here, which is originally intended to discipline oneself.”

Kim Si-woo was calm.

Until he came to Jeong Doo-cheol’s gym, he followed Kim Hyun-seong and checked how he was doing. A life of repeated trips from home to the gym. It was clear that he was training hard for his own purpose.

That was the expected range.

I don’t know how Jeong Doo-cheol knew Kim Hyun-seong’s purpose, but he decided that it was an easy conversation situation.

“Do you see the scars on my face? It was a wound that occurred while fighting back against those who tried to harm Hyeonseong. If Hyunseong hadn’t helped me along the way, I might have fallen on the cold bathroom floor and become crippled. Director. I don’t know why Hyunseong is obsessed with revenge, but what is certain is that the level of violence that occurs at school is by no means as easy as adults think. “Hyunseong put himself in danger to save me, and I don’t want to turn away from a friend like that.”

I spoke the truth.

I appealed with the facts rather than spinning them around.

“I think there is a reason why Hyeonseong came here. So please help me. Even if the director doesn’t help me, I plan to be with Hyeonseong, and if I don’t become stronger, I will pay the price. That’s it. “No matter what price I pay in the future, it is entirely up to me, so please accept me as you did Hyeonseong.”

Kim Si-woo took something out of his arms.

It was a piggy bank.

Due to difficult family circumstances, I took out everything I had saved without hesitation.

“It’s all my property. It’s not much, but I’ll give it all. “If this isn’t enough, I will definitely pay it back, even if it means working part-time.”

really.

It was an irritating situation.

Jeong Doo-cheol’s curse filled his throat, but suddenly he noticed the traces of violence on Kim Si-woo’s face.

Now I finally understand.

Why is Kim Hyun-seong struggling so hard?

If violence is rampant at school, and even your best friends are caught up in the violence, malice is bound to arise. However, that was not enough of a reason to accept Kim Si-woo. Kim Hyun-seong had a justification for 100 million won, but he probably didn’t have that amount in his piggy bank.

but.

‘…I dug my own grave.’

Like taking steroids repeatedly.

Jeong Doo-cheol’s conscience was shattered by just one precedent.

It wasn’t that different for him once or twice, and he couldn’t ignore Kim Si-woo’s earnest eyes.

Hyunseong Kim.

Siuna Kim.

There was a sincerity that was not appropriate for that age.

If you think about it, we can’t say that their response was unconditionally wrong.

Is it right to say that it is wrong to fight back with violence against children living in the living hell of school violence? Can we really say that it is for the benefit of children to draw the line that martial arts is only a sport to train oneself and can never be taught for impure purposes?

Jeong Doo-cheol only provides power.

The power to stand against violence.

If they were not the ones leading the school violence, there was no reason for them to become victims of the violence in the first place.

Like the UFC stage where steroids are rampant.

Just as both you and your partner were drug users, the victim of violence could not be considered a victim.

It was self-justification.

Even though he knew that, Jeong Doo-cheol had no choice but to repeat the same choice.

at last.

“I lost. Come to the gym starting tomorrow. “But if I can’t keep up with the training schedule, I think it’s over.”

* * *

The consultation has ended.

Kim Si-woo, who achieved his goal, met Kim Hyun-seong, who had been waiting for him.

“Looking at his expression, it looks like the director has approved. “I’m sorry, but I can’t allow you to fall down the same path I did.”

Tuk.

threw something on the floor

It was a glove.

Kim Hyun-seong, who had already put on his gloves, stepped into the ring and looked down at Kim Si-woo with cold eyes.

“So prove it yourself. “I want you to prove to me whether you have that much will and whether you are a person who can fight even if you fall to the bottom of hell like me, and how much you can endure through simple friendship.”

A life different from my previous life.

Kim Hyun-seong could never accept Kim Si-woo’s intervention.
