Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 42
9. Harvest season (4)
I forgot.
The street lights went out.
When only a few seconds had passed and the world became bright again, Park Min-cheol spotted Shin Young-min approaching right in front of him.
Bah!
“Kaaak.”
The face was distorted.
Park Min-cheol was knocked to the ground by a powerful punch, and Cho Yong-taek and Kang Chang-seok showed blank stares as they had not yet fully grasped the situation. Kim Hyun-seong’s orders. They thought they were free from that evil spirit, but they had no idea that he would harass them to the point of sending Shin Young-min away.
Sigh.
A vicious hand grabbed Cho Yong-taek’s hair.
I couldn’t resist.
Cho Yong-taek’s small physique was helpless, and Shin Young-min knocked the opponent’s head off with his knee.
Bye!
It was an eerie sound.
Cho Yong-taek’s head was thrown back and blood was sprayed out.
Kang Chang-seok’s pupils dilated.
I still couldn’t accept this situation in my head, but I couldn’t let it happen any longer.
“This profit!”
Faaat.
I just threw myself away.
The intention was to hit Shin Young-min and knock him down, but contrary to Kang Chang-seok’s intentions, it felt like he had hit a huge electric pole.
“What are you doing?”
Kwasik!
I hit my back with my elbow.
As Kang Chang-seok crouched down, groaning, Shin Young-min lifted his face and swung his fists like crazy. It was truly a one-sided fight. Even though Kang Chang-seok was considered the best among Park Min-cheol’s gang and the representative fighter of the first year, he was nothing against Shin Young-min.
King of Thousand Days.
Shin Young-min’s presence swelled.
Although he was defeated by Kim Hyun-seong, the reason he was able to ascend to the throne was because he was really strong.
Bah!
got his face blown off.
Seeing Kang Chang-seok slowly collapsing, Shin Young-min kicked Yong-taek Cho’s head, which was lying on the floor, as if he didn’t want it to end like this. He needed a clear result. When today’s incident reached Kim Hyun-seong’s ears, the visible result was that Park Min-cheol’s gang was truly put through hell.
‘The first grade bastards are the problem. I don’t know which bastard was the client, but I was the only one who saw the blood because he commissioned it without even knowing Kim Hyun-seong properly. If it wasn’t for you guys, I wouldn’t have a problem!’
Bah!
Barak, barak!
I was furious.
Request from the Golden Circle.
If they had given him accurate information about Kim Hyun-seong from the beginning, he would never have accepted the request. Rather, he would have tried to impress Kim Hyun-seong somehow, just as he cared for Jung Min-ho.
This is it.
It was because of the client.
Because of one stupid and clueless loach, his well-lived life came crashing down at the last minute.
Did you say that violence leads to violence?
Shin Young-min’s hand became even more cruel.
The anger toward the client spread to Park Min-cheol’s gang, and even though they could no longer resist, they did not take matters into their own hands. Kang Chang-seok showed his own resistance, but Shin Young-min’s strong body, trained in mixed martial arts, did not succumb to his judo skills. Instead, it only stimulated my anger and caused me even more pain.
Crack.
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I stomped on his face.
Kang Chang-seok, who was beaten to the point where his real face was unrecognizable, ended up foaming at the mouth and losing consciousness.
And yet.
Shin Young-min grabbed Kang Chang-seok by the collar.
Just when I was about to slap him again.
Deep.
Shin Young-min opened his eyes wide.
A burning pain surged from my side.
“What are you doing…?”
Head turning slowly.
In Shin Young-min’s field of vision, Park Min-cheol was seen holding a sword.
* * *
Tuk.
Clink.
Park Min-cheol lost his sword.
His face turned pale and his blood-stained hands trembled as he shouted.
“You should have done it in moderation. It’s what you told me to do in the first place. We didn’t bully Kim Hyun-seong because we wanted to, but because we did what you told us to do, we became X’s too. “But why are you doing this to us!”
The presence of a knife.
It was just in case.
After being beaten so badly, Park Min-cheol carried around a knife from home like a possessed person. If Shin Young-min was a reasonably easy person, he wouldn’t have done that. However, I decided that in order to overcome the fear that was engraved in my bones, I needed a weapon that could protect myself in the worst situations.
That was the result.
The moment he saw Shin Young-min’s murderous gaze, he jumped up from his seat and thrust the knife into his side.
“…You crazy bastard.”
Shin Young-min’s expression distorted.
I felt like I was out of breath.
No matter how much I trained in mixed martial arts and was accustomed to pain, the sensation of metal digging into my skin was completely different.
dump.
I sat down.
When I covered the wound with my hand, it felt wet.
“I understand now. “What did Kim Hyun-seong intend?”
Shin Young-min’s face also turned pale.
It’s so absurd.
In this situation, looking up at Park Min-cheol, a completely different thought occurred to Shin Young-min.
“Kim Hyun-sung’s intention was to destroy us. So that we can ruin our own lives by making each other bite each other. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. “We are destined to become X anyway, so it was a matter of deciding which of us would become more X.”
“What bullshit is that!”
“You idiot.”
I chuckled.
The strength left my body.
When I watch the movie, it seems like I was able to move around just fine after being stabbed, but it felt like my soul was coming out through just a small hole. In my blurred vision, I saw Park Min-cheol’s face. Park Min-cheol showed an expression stained with fear and shock, while Cho Yong-taek and Kang Chang-seok lost their minds and were unable to wake up.
I could see people flocking beyond it.
It seemed like people who had noticed the situation from the beginning and reported it to the police from afar.
It was fortunate.
Because there was an eyewitness.
Shin Young-min finally uttered his sincerity as if he was squeezing it out.
“Thank you, Mincheol. “For stabbing me.”
That was the end.
Shin Young-min collapsed.
He fell roughly on the cold floor and lost consciousness as he felt colorful colors approaching from afar.
* * *
The next day.
The school was turned upside down.
Upon hearing the news that Shin Young-min was stabbed while fighting with Park Min-cheol’s gang, students gathered in groups and chatted about him.
“Wow, is this a true story?”
“Because it’s real. I know an uncle who works at the Daesan Police Station, and he went out in the middle of the night after receiving a report and there was an uproar. At first, I thought it was just kids fighting, but when I arrived at the scene, I saw that Shin Young-min had been stabbed and was lying on the ground! And according to eyewitness testimony, the culprit was none other than Park Min-cheol.”
“No, I thought Park Min-cheol was a gangster, but he went to the extent of using a knife? “He was a scary bastard.”
Park Min-cheol’s gang.
Youngmin Shin.
Both were notorious figures.
Still, there was goodness in their evil deeds, and the students could not hide their surprised reaction upon hearing that they had actually committed a crime. If they had been at the scene of that dispute. When I thought about the possibility of being stabbed as a student, I remembered the time I spent with those gangsters and got goosebumps all over my body.
A few days after that.
Cheonil had a busy time trying to resolve the incident.
Oh Dae-hwan stated that Shin Young-min was a student who was completely unrelated to Cheonil, whose expulsion was originally decided due to a past violent incident. Park Min-cheol’s gang is a student who has already been expelled from school. Cheonil said that it sincerely hopes to lead the students and drew a line by saying that this incident is not in line with Cheonil’s direction at all.
And of course.
Park Min-cheol’s gang and Shin Young-min were criminally punished.
Evidence of Shin Young-min’s use of violence was discovered through CCTV, and the fact that he intentionally assaulted Park Min-cheol’s gang became an issue. Even so, it did not grant immunity to Park Min-cheol’s crime of using a knife. Not only Park Min-cheol, but also Kang Chang-seok and Cho Yong-taek were also tied up and brought to the judgment stand, and every single one of them was confirmed to be sent to juvenile detention.
It was the moment when life fell into the abyss.
The clear record that he went to a juvenile detention center rather than simply being expelled left a scar that could not be recovered.
Actually, it wasn’t a clean ending.
The detectives and Cheonil’s students also had questions about why Shin Young-min attacked Park Min-cheol’s gang.
“Is there a reason for Shin Young-min to harass Park Min-cheol’s gang so much? “They are kids who won’t fight back even if you call them and hit them anyway.”
But no matter how much I ask.
No new name emerged.
Park Min-cheol’s gang and Shin Young-min had the name ‘Kim Hyun-seong’ stuck in their throats, but they were afraid of the series of situations they had experienced. I am afraid that if I accidentally touch it, another disaster may occur. Rather, they thought that paying for their sins was the only way for them to survive.
like that.
The case is closed.
It was an event that caused excitement for a thousand days, and as time passed, the names were forgotten in memory.
Like a moment in my past life.
Just like the time when I forgot Kim Hyun-seong, who had become a vegetable.
* * *
It was around the time when the Shin Young-min incident was causing a stir.
Kim Hyun-seong received a call from Go Chang-beom.
[It’s just like the kid said. Jung Min-ho left Daesan and moved to Gyeonggi-do, and it looks like he is preparing to re-enter a regular high school next year. What can I do for you? In fact, ever since you asked for it, the parents of Park Min-cheol’s gang have been harassing me, but if you want, I can send Jung Min-ho to juvenile detention right away as well.]
Jung Min-ho.
The son of the family was definitely different.
When Myungjin Construction openly attacked Min-ho Jeong’s family, Min-ho Jeong’s parents quickly liquidated their assets and decided to move. It must have been a difficult choice. It was difficult for local residents to leave their hometown, but Jeong Min-ho’s parents decided that they could not live in Daesan without the eyes of Myungjin Construction.
Thanks to this, Jung Min-ho was able to breathe.
They had to live like Park Min-cheol’s gang, but they were quickly drawing up a new future.
In my heart, I immediately wanted revenge.
Instead of giving him time to enjoy a new life, I wanted to let Jung Min-ho know that there was no hope for him in the future.
but.
Not now.
“no. are you okay.”
[What should I do?]
“I just want to take some time. So that Jung Min-ho can forget that I exist and believe that a new life is allowed in a new space. I’m thinking of giving it some time. Then the despair will only increase. Other than that, I just want to ask you about Park Min-cheol’s gang and Shin Young-min. Once both of them have completed their sentences in juvenile detention, they will have reached the age limit by then, so please send them to prison right away. “I don’t want to allow those guys even a single day in society.”
[…You really are. If you just look at me, you’re a scarier kid than me? So much so that I never want to be with you.]
Go Chang-beom’s voice trembled.
I was truly afraid of Kim Hyun-seong.
At first, I thought he was an ordinary high school student, but the malice he exuded could never be said to be typical.
[Anyway, how long do I have to stay like this? It’s already been over a month since I listened to you and started living as a junior, and there hasn’t been any positive news, let alone the position of chairman. Hyunseong. It’s true that I want to sit in the chairman’s position, but that doesn’t mean I have the ability or patience to work my way up from the bottom. If you were going to choose Jeonggongbeop, you wouldn’t have lived like a fool in the first place.]
“Just be patient.”
[But…]
“Mr. Go Chang-beom.”
I stopped talking.
Kim Hyun-seong spoke in a stern tone in a confusing situation where he couldn’t figure out where to turn.
“Our relationship was transactional. Instead of receiving compensation from Mr. Ko Chang-beom, I plan to do whatever it takes to elevate Mr. Ko Chang-beom to the position of chairman. So trust me. “What we are doing now is absolutely necessary.”
[…I understand. I believe it.]
Go Chang-beom has strong pride.
Normally, he would have been angry at Kim Hyun-seong’s attitude, but at some point, he truly acknowledged the person named Kim Hyun-seong.
Not only Go Chang-seok’s case.
I watched Hyunseong Kim solve his own problems.
I became confident that I was a helper who would truly help me in a series of situations that were unconventional yet achieved clear results.
That’s why what he said didn’t sound so bad.
In order for himself, who was called a fool, to rise to the position of chairman, he needed a sharp-tongued speaker like Kim Hyun-seong, not a sycophant who only whispers sweet words.
[Take care of yourself and wait for your call.]
Tuk.
The call was disconnected.
Kim Hyun-seong put down his phone and looked at the calendar.
The identity of the client had not been discovered yet, and sufficient power was needed to reach the Golden Circle.
Therefore, Ko Chang-beom had to rise to the position of chairman.
“It will start soon.”
Unless the future changes.
A predetermined future will come to Go Chang-beom.
just as expected.
A few days after that.
Certain incidents occurred across the country.
