Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 68

15. Malice (2)

It was very warm for winter.

Physical education teacher Kim Young-cheol mentioned outdoor classes for the first time in a long time.

“Now – the boys play soccer and the girls play dodgeball. “We divide the teams into AB and Teacher Lee shoots the winning team!”

“Oh oh!”

“Gazua!”

The atmosphere heated up.

Kim Young-cheol was famous for his dirty personality, but just as he had his shortcomings, he also had his strengths in being able to get along with students like friends. That’s how sports activities progressed. Since it was not mandatory, people who would not participate gathered in small groups on one side of the stands and watched the game.

“wow.”

“Look at Hyeonseong over there.”

“Wow, that sucks.”

The female students’ attention was focused.

soccer match.

At the center was Kim Hyun-seong.

As Team A’s striker, he received the ball and took advantage of his speed to immediately try to break through.

Pot.

Ta-ta-tak.

“Stop it!”

Team B was on fire.

Two defenders quickly tried to block Kim Hyun-seong, but he hesitated for a moment and used a phantom dribble to penetrate the space between the defenders. After that, it was an open chance. Seeing the goalkeeper narrowing the space, Kim Hyun-seong beat him and kicked the ball up.

Crumble.

“Gooooooool-!”

“Yes.”

Team A students cheered.

The female students cheered as Kim Hyun-seong waved his sweat-soaked hair and clenched his fists. In fact, some of the female students did not participate in dodgeball to watch Kim Hyun-sung play. Although his image has become rough due to recent events, Kim Hyun-seong was one of the most popular people in the first year of Cheonil High School.

Study exercise fight.

Nothing was missing.

Because he had a good personality and a handsome appearance, female students couldn’t help but fall in love with Kim Hyun-seong.

A female student whispered to her friend with a flushed face as she saw Kim Hyun-sung sweeping the field again.

“Isn’t Hyunseong really cool?”

“Why don’t you at least confess?”

“Is that so?”

“Are you sure you want to?”

My friend’s eyes widened.

Choi Seon-ah, who mentioned confession, had a pretty appearance and was good at studying, so she almost never said she was confessing to someone. However, I was quite surprised to see this level of interest. Although I wanted to support Choi Seon-ah’s feelings as much as possible, there was an awkward point where I couldn’t support their relationship as friends.

“But isn’t it a bit like that? You may not know Kim Hyun-seong from back in the day, but he’s been fighting a lot these days. “For no reason, if you date a guy like that, it will rub off on you too.”

“That’s what they were arguing about.”

I’ve already made up my mind.

Choi Seon-ah didn’t listen to her friend’s advice.

Just then the game ended.

Choi Seon-ah grabbed the blanket covering her legs, stood up, and winked at her friend.

“I will be back.”

It’s winter vacation soon.

Before entering second grade, Choi Seon-ah wanted to express her feelings.

* * *

“Are you thirsty?”

Choi Seon-ah blushed.

Kim Hyun-seong looked at the strawberry milk she gave her with a sharp look in his eyes.

“Are you giving it to me?”

“…huh.”

The favor of female students.

I was used to it.

Until now, when I entered elementary school, middle school, and high school.

Kim Hyun-seong, who was the class president and a model student, was always the subject of attention and often received sudden confessions on a daily basis. But it was so funny that the other person was Choi Seon-ah. Choi Seon-ah was one of the three suspected of being the client, and Kim Hyun-seong spoke to her with a kind face.

“Actually, I also had something to say to you. “Would you like to move for a moment?”

“What to say? huh! good!”

Choi Seon-ah smiled happily.

In a situation that felt like a signal to her, she chased after Kim Hyun-seong without any doubt.

The place we arrived at was a warehouse.

It was a place to store sports equipment, but Choi Seon-ah flinched for a moment and then followed behind Kim Hyun-seong. I was confident that Kim Hyun-seong was not a bad kid. Although he has recently been involved in numerous fights and has a bad reputation, Kim Hyun-sung is what she remembers as a good person who would raise his voice for his friends.

Hyunseong Kim got his butt on the jumping frame.

He looked at Choi Seon-ah, who was looking at him with embarrassment, and spoke in a quiet, pleasant voice.

“I’ve been having a lot of problems lately. Do you know why that is?”

“…Isn’t it because the kids were fighting? Park Min-cheol and Shin Young-min are all equally bad kids.”

“that’s right. Because he intentionally started a fight, I had no choice but to cause trouble. But what the other kids don’t know is that they all did that because someone told them to do it.”

“huh?”

Choi Seon-ah opened her eyes wide.

It was a sudden and unexpected remark.

She could not hide her embarrassment at the fact that someone was behind the bullying.

No matter how she reacts or not.

Hyunseong Kim continued his words.

“So I dug my own trap to find out who was behind it. There were three suspicious people, so I had Jaejin tell them different facts. Yoo Jin-young says that Kim Hyun-seong is having a really hard time and might end up transferring schools. To Lee Jin-hyung, Bae Seong-ho and Kim Hyun-seong are actually putting on a show. There is no problem between the two. And finally…”

He laughed.

“Even though the atmosphere is not good for you, don’t you think Kim Hyun-seong is doing better than you thought? I told you to say it like this. But the really interesting thing is that the spy I planted heard this story from behind the scenes. If Yoo Jin-young is behind it, he should be happy that the plan is going well, but if Lee Jin-hyung is behind it, he will be furious about some kind of plan. However, the person behind it responded by urging them to quickly proceed with the plan in a sluggish situation.”

Squeak.

I got up from my seat.

Looking down at Choi Sun-ah, who was stained with fear, Kim Hyun-seong revealed the face of the devil that he had been hiding.

“So that means you fell into that trap.”

* * *

After Choi Seon-ah left.

My friend Oh Hye-ji had a strange feeling.

‘Why are you so late?’

If I had confessed, it would have come to a conclusion quickly one way or another.

However, gym class was over and recess was almost over, and Choi Seon-ah was nowhere to be seen. I suddenly felt worried. Friends say that Kim Hyun-sung is a really good person, but because of the violent behavior he has shown recently, he does not like the idea of his close friend being associated with him.

‘What’s going on?’

This is school.

Nothing much will happen.

If you accepted the confession, the two of you might be laughing at each other, and if you rejected the confession, you might be crying alone.

Anyway.

I couldn’t make a fuss just because of the strange feeling.

It was then.

While preparing for the next class, I received a text from Choi Seon-ah.

[Hyeji. please help me It’s a warehouse now.]

“?!”

Jump up.

I got up from my seat.

It was clear something was up.

Oh Hye-ji hurried her steps as she realized that the strange feeling had become reality.

It may have been just an accident, but for some reason, I felt that Kim Hyun-seong was involved in this problem.

like that.

Arrived at the warehouse.

“…what? what’s the matter?”

I hesitated.

The atmosphere was strange.

Oh Hye-ji imagined that an accident had occurred inside, but Kim Hyun-seong and Choi Seon-ah were just facing each other with a small distance between them. My mind was complicated. It was nothing, so why did he send me such an urgent text message? I was about to ask again, but Kim Hyun-seong blurted out something.

“You go out.”

“…okay.”

Choi Seon-ah took a step back.

On the way out, when I made eye contact with Oh Hye-ji, I quickly lowered my gaze as if I had seen a ghost.

Oh Hye-ji also tried to follow Choi Seon-ah.

Until I heard Kim Hyun-seong’s voice.

“You should stay.”

At the same time.

thud.

The warehouse door was closed.

* * *

Blink.

Blink blink.

The warehouse lights gave off a cool atmosphere.

In a situation where the world was repeatedly stained with darkness and then brightened, Kim Hyun-seong told an unknown story.

“Common sense tells us that Choi Seon-ah is the culprit. Since the information that was leaked through the spy came out of the broker’s mouth, it would be common sense to be suspicious of him. But there is something really strange. “The objective facts point to Choi Seon-ah, but there is a reason why Choi Seon-ah can never be the culprit.”

Three candidates.

We investigated them through Go Chang-beom.

I wondered if I could find any evidence, but since the Golden Circle is a thorough group, there was no way to find out through a simple investigation. Then I discovered Choi Seon-ah’s uniqueness. It doesn’t prove that she was the culprit, but at least it was very helpful in making the decision.

“You know because you’re close with Choi Seon-ah, right? Choi Seon-ah originally lived in Seoul, not Daesan, and was not an only daughter, but had a brother who was two years older than her. It’s such a tragedy. When her older brother committed suicide due to school violence, Choi Seon-ah’s family was ruined, and her parents gave up everything and chose to come down to Daesan. That’s why Choi Seon-ah’s parents hate the bullies who lead school violence. They used their positions as high-ranking public officials to root out school violence, but they were not people who would absolutely sympathize with them. I know it well. “The terrible emotions a family must feel when someone dies due to playful violence.”

“…what does that mean?”

Oh Hye-ji stuttered.

This situation.

I really didn’t understand.

I tried to back away, but I was blocked by the solid door and couldn’t go any further.

Hyunseong Kim did not answer Hyeji Oh’s question at all.

“Choi Seon-ah said that. If there is any ‘intention’ behind the violence I suffered, I hate those people. And the reason he confessed to me was because he responded confidently to violence. People who don’t know anything say that the student is fighting, but my brother, who had been avoiding the fight, chose to harm himself, so he cheered me on. “I hope I can eradicate all the evil of the thousand days.”

Choi Seon-ah’s crush.

A flower bloomed from deficiency.

She didn’t like him simply because he was a popular boy, but because he was someone who filled the void in her heart.

Kim Hyun-seong held his face as if he was in pain.

Conversation with Choi Seon-ah.

I felt like my soul was about to burn.

The fact that someone just like him exists somewhere in the world, and the thought that there may be countless such beings like Choi Seon-ah and himself experienced. The feeling of disgust was overwhelming. The malice boiled like crazy.

This is why.

I couldn’t stop.

The person taking revenge does not necessarily have to be himself, but Kim Hyun-seong desperately hoped that the subject would be himself.

“I don’t doubt Choi Seon-ah. Then there is only one possibility I can think of. The last possibility is that Choi Seon-ah told someone about me. When I asked that, I heard one name.”

Flash.

Blink blink.

I raised my face.

The face, which was repeatedly buried in darkness and disappearing, was so horribly distorted that it was covered in shadows.

“hey.”

Convince Choi Seon-ah.

Summon Oh Hye-ji.

The door was closed.

There was no longer any doubt.

“You are the client, right?”

Oh Hye-ji.

It was clear that she was behind the mystery.
