Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 82

17. People looking for Kim Hyun-seong (6)

A school in Gangnam.

All classes are over.

Tomorrow was Saturday, so one of the male students who was packing his luggage spoke to Kang Min-woo.

“Minwoo. “Going to karaoke?”

“…I have an appointment today, so it’s going to be difficult.”

“Hey, let’s play for a little while. The girl you liked last time. “He called me too.”

I was heartbroken.

The girl my friend told me about.

She was a girl who was famous for being pretty in the neighborhood, and I begged my friend to set up a meeting with her. It seemed like it was prepared as a surprise, but Kang Min-woo couldn’t bring himself to say that he would follow along.

a few days ago.

Lee Mi-so said firmly when he saw the group protesting that they would not go down to Daesan.

“Kang Min-woo. your mom said You are the only son of the Kang family and the child of Kang Dong-cheol. But are you really going to get upset like this? This is all for your good, but why aren’t you cooperating like this? This time, even Mom can’t give in. I promised that if you attend class insincerely, I will never touch you, regardless of whether the tutor hits you or not. So do it yourself. What’s certain is that if you don’t listen to me again this time, I will suspend your card.”

He was resolute.

There was no room for compromise this time.

In fact, the card suspension could be resolved with the money saved, but the real problem was that they would not participate in corporal punishment.

‘If I miss tutoring on a day…’

I started to tremble.

A period of gale and fury.

The people they fear the most are not their parents.

A senior who is just one year older.

The presence of violence in front of our eyes, which we encountered every time at school, was a realistic fear that could correct the stormy times. Hyunseong Kim was in a similar context. Although they did not always meet each other at school, because they were classmates, they were able to use indiscriminate violence unlike adults.

I got scared.

Kang Min-Woo lived as an ordinary person, but he was not a child accustomed to violence.

I couldn’t bear to accept my friend’s offer because I thought the same thing would happen to me like the day I was dragged out of the arcade and beaten one-sidedly. I shed bloody tears inside. It was fun just to imagine hanging out with a girl I liked at a karaoke bar, but I remembered the pain of that day when my face was still bruised.

“sorry. “It really doesn’t work.”

“Ugh, next time, don’t ask me to call anyone.”

My friend left.

Kang Min-woo is left alone.

After packing all his luggage, he trudged and walked lonely.

A cafe in Gangnam.

Lee Mi-so and Mom Cafe members gathered in one place.

One of the mothers spoke in a cautious tone while drinking Americano, which costs over 15,000 won per cup.

“But is this really okay? “I was so surprised to see my child’s face that day.”

“that’s right. “No matter how much corporal punishment is said to be okay, is there a case where it is brutally slapped?”

Arcade incident.

It was on the lips of mothers.

First of all, I was fascinated by Kim Hyun-sung’s confidence, so I just ignored it, but I couldn’t help but feel upset when my beloved children came back after being beaten. It was the same with Lee Mi-so. She firmly told Kang Min-woo to follow the teacher, but as she treated Kang Min-woo’s face, she felt burned inside.

Lee Mi-so said.

“Actually, I did a little research on Kim Hyun-seong, and he was very famous in Daesan. Not only with his brains, but also with his fighting skills. Maybe it worked out better. As children get older, they start to think less of their parents’ words, and once they are scolded, they never say out loud that they will skip tutoring. Because everything in the world is the same. “The violence right in front of your eyes is probably scarier than the parents who love you, both past and present.”

“So does that mean we’ll just watch? “Then what if something bigger happens?”

“The big thing we are worried about is that our children will not be able to enter ‘prestigious universities.’ Think about it. “If our children go to local universities, do you think we will be able to raise our faces on the floor of Gangnam?”

“That’s…”

Everyone.

I couldn’t answer readily.

The people gathered here are not rich people.

They were people who could carry their heads up in Gangnam, and because of that, they were chosen by Lee Mi-so and were able to form a special group. Therefore, for them, their child’s failure was unthinkable. For most of them, who chose to raise children rather than live the life of a career woman, the fact that they were unable to raise even a child properly was likely to remain a big stain.

And above all.

Even though he has a great background, what happens to the father’s reputation if his child enters a local university?

Absolutely not.

It was unacceptable.

It was a problem that was directly related to not only the life of the child, but also the life of the parents.

Lee Mi-so handed out a stick followed by a carrot.

“I know what everyone is thinking. That day, our Minwoo was hurt the most and how did I feel as I treated his face? But it’s only been 3 years. To be exact, there are only two years left, but you can’t waste that time and be labeled for the rest of your life. “How about we do this instead?”

“What is it?”

“Final exams are coming soon. Kim Hyun-seong’s confidence is so great, and when you look at the fact that he told him to send the exam three times a week this month in order to get a good grade on the final exam right away. Wouldn’t it be okay to evaluate Kim Hyun-sung’s abilities based on his final exam grades? “If you really improve your grades in a short period of time, you can trust Kim Hyun-seong, but if the result is the opposite, there is no need to expose our precious children to dangerous violence.”

The calculation has already been completed.

The reason Kim Hyun-seong accepts reckless conditions is for the sole reward of improved grades.

If even that doesn’t turn out well.

Lee Mi-so said firmly.

“You will have to make a decision then.”

Only 15 days until final exams.

The wait won’t be long.

* * *

Three times a week.

The schedule was only scheduled until the final exam.

This was already the third class, and Kang Min-woo and his friends prepared for the class with somewhat gloomy faces.

Maybe you’re tired.

It takes two hours to drive from Seoul to Daesan, especially during rush hour after school. But I was repeating this three times a week. However, even though they did not receive any tutoring since they were not exempted from academy classes, their fatigue from this life was clearly visible on their faces.

Hyunseong Kim said.

Tuk.

“Concentration.”

Eyes gathered.

They listened to Kim Hyun-seong’s words, as if the violence in front of them had had an effect.

“From now on, listen carefully to what I say. I know that traveling back and forth from Seoul to Daesan is very tiring for you, but your parents are polar opposites anyway. What if your grades are not good even after receiving tutoring from me? What kind of future do you think awaits you? I’ll either get a tutor to replace me, or I’ll go to a new academy that will make me more rigorous than the time spent commuting to and from Daesan. Don’t say no. “You’ve lived like that since elementary school until now.”

“….”

I couldn’t refute it.

It was true.

Like a squirrel running on a treadmill, Kang Min-woo and his friends lived a life lacking freedom.

“My advice to you is to just accept reality. The rich life you enjoy is only meaningful if you meet the expectations you receive. So what can I do? As my parents expected, I should enter a prestigious university. If you get good grades through tutoring with me. I’m thinking of suggesting to your parents that they limit your attendance to private academies as much as possible, other than private tutoring. “I think it is more helpful to fully study and learn from the scope I have taken rather than someone else’s instructions.”

The range that Kim Hyun-seong talks about.

It was a result of the future.

Rather than spending time studying at other academies, Kim Hyun-seong decided that it would be more helpful to fully study what he taught. This was only possible for the next 2-3 years. Because Kim Hyun-seong is teaching what he personally experienced on the college entrance exam, he will never be able to show his current abilities.

At most 3 years.

That was enough.

Rather than completely revealing the truth, Kim Hyun-seong changed the story into a story that would be attractive to Kang Min-woo and his friends.

“And if I finish this final exam well, I plan to invite you over once a week. Of course, I am confident that I can teach you well at that level. how is it? Do you still think coming down to Daesan is a losing business?”

“ah.”

Someone’s exclamation.

That was enough.

Kang Min-woo and his friends were not stupid.

Their eyes began to sparkle with strong enthusiasm as they realized what Kim Hyun-sung’s words meant.

* * *

The fifteen days passed in an instant.

Just before winter break.

It was the final hurdle.

The final exams for the second semester were held, and this time, Hyunseong Kim did not disappoint everyone’s expectations.

Cheonil’s principal’s office.

Oh Dae-hwan treated Kim Hyun-seong alone with a happy face.

“Hyunseong. “Isn’t school life difficult?”

“yes. “It’s not particularly difficult because the principal takes good care of me both materially and spiritually.”

“okay?”

I smiled brightly.

Kim Hyun-seong’s final exam grades.

It was a perfect score this time too.

Oh Dae-hwan clenched his fists when he checked the results, his heart pounding.

“How did such a fortune come into Cheonil? If anything happens, come see the principal at any time. This is the work of a student with the highest honors, so of course I, as the principal, must take responsibility and support it. Ah, and this time, Daesan City will probably provide a separate scholarship. It wasn’t originally planned, but I negotiated it and got a perfect score on the midterm! Perfect score on mock exam! Daesan’s future will be brighter only if we take care of Hyeonseong, who is the future of Daesan, so we accepted it after strongly suggesting that Daesan’s future would be brighter. “The amount will be more than you think.”

“thank you.”

“Thank you. It’s natural. By the way, is Managing Director Go Chang-beom doing well?”

“Yes, you are doing well.”

“Okay, okay. I took up too much time. “Our Hyeonseong must be tired, so let’s go in quickly.”

It was truly sincerity.

It had to be that way.

In the past, he was simply the person who led Myungjin Construction, but now he is the person who will make Oh Dae-hwan’s dream come true.

Prestigious Thousand Days!

Oh Dae-hwan’s eyes looking at Kim Hyun-seong were one of true love.

I couldn’t look at the back of the teacher leaving the teacher’s office with such fondness without really falling in love.

‘This time, we need to call local media outlets and promote it on a large scale. Our Hyunseong, who continues to score perfect scores in the midterm, mock exam, and final exam, is going to hit the jackpot on the CSAT as well. These are all achievements created by Cheonil’s excellent education system!’

He grinned.

Leaving Oh Dae-hwan behind.

Hyunseong Kim left the principal’s office.

I put my cell phone on silent while I was in the principal’s office, but when I took it out and checked it, there was a pile of absences.

[13 missed calls]

‘13 calls?’

It seemed like something was happening.

After checking the text message, Kim Hyun-seong was immediately able to find out the truth about his absence.

[teacher! My child’s average grade went up by a whopping 10 points! When can you call me? Thank you so much. I will come to Daesan right away, so please give me some time.]

Lee Mi-so’s text.

While Kim Hyun-seong was in the principal’s office, cheers of joy rang out in Gangnam.
