If you smiled like that to others, people would approach you more, but even without a smile, you still had a charm. I checked the time, said goodbye to Yongseon, and left the student council room.
'Huh? I got a text... from who?'
The person who sent me the text was none other than my father.
I frowned at the person who had sent the text. My father is a dirty, ugly man. He's a police officer on the outside, but he's a criminal at heart. He took everything from me and treated me like an object.
- Moonbyul, I'm going to a family dinner. Come in right now.
-Yes, Father.
I secretly overheard my mother and father talking, and the story was about why, of all people, they gave birth to me as a girl. In short, why did they give birth to me? I hated my father to begin with, but after hearing that story, I hated him even more. My father cherishes his youngest sister the most. What good is having a lot of money? You can't do what you want. My mother seems to want her sister to become a doctor like herself.
"I wish it would disappear"
'All of this.'
Still, I don't hate my only sister.
Rather, I cherish her even more. I will not let my sister go down the same path as me. And, I will definitely tell the person who took everything from me someday.
'You are the ones who took everything from me.'
I disobeyed my father and went straight into the house. As soon as I got home, my father yelled at me.
I really hated how they talked only about themselves, without knowing my circumstances. They didn't even know what I was doing in college. You took all my scholarship money, but did you actually spend anything on me?
"I'm sorry, Father."
"If I send a text, you should come within 10 minutes."
“I came late because the meeting ended later than expected.”
"Ha, with that stupid head of yours, you can be the student body president?"
"..."
"No, in my current state, I can't even become the vice president of the student body."
I planned all the events, and I'm already the vice president of the student body. With this stupid brain, I've already done it, so what do you want me to do? Are all the people who elected me stupid? And, I'm already the vice president of the student body and a sophomore in the department.
Doesn't a father know that?
"You're already the vice president of the student body?"
"Are you talking back now?"
"I was just being honest. And I was in charge of organizing this event, and I was in charge of planning the event. I'm a second-year student."
My father cut me off. This was probably the first time I'd ever spoken to him. He frowned at the sight of me. He seemed angry, then yelled at me and went into his room to grab a golf club.
"...I don't even have the right to hit you."
"I raised my daughter wrong, if she had been born a son,"
"Why didn't you abandon me on the day I was born as a daughter?"
I interrupted my father, who then hit me hard with a golf club. Luckily, my younger sister had already gone out to eat with my mother. I didn't want my younger sister to see me like this.
"you,"
"Ugh."
"today,"
"Ugh.."
"To me,"
"Ugh..!"
"He's dead"
"Ugh...!!"
My father kept hitting me with a golf club, then glanced at his watch. Then, he threw the club somewhere, came over to me, said something, and left me to go out to eat.
"I want to push you off a cliff and kill you right now. I wonder why I didn't abandon you before."
I was hit with a golf club for 10 minutes straight and couldn't get up. My father knew I was going to college the next day, so he hit me everywhere except my face. It seems he didn't want other people to know.
"Ha, John x that hurts."
I stood up with difficulty and wrapped the wound with a bandage. I wondered how hard I had hit it with a golf club that it would bleed even with a bandage.
Sometimes I think about it, I don't understand why people do things like this while wearing police uniforms.
"I wonder if I'll be able to move properly tomorrow."
I went straight to bed because of my limping leg. There's nothing I can do with this leg condition. I have to go tomorrow because I have to prepare for an event and such.
-Kang Seul-gi, please come pick me up tomorrow by car.
I also have a car, but I don't think I can drive on this bridge, so I texted Kang Seul-gi, who has a car, and asked her to come pick me up tomorrow. As soon as I sent it, I got a reply from Kang Seul-gi.
-You have a car, so what? Come pick me up??
-I left my car in for repairs so can Seolgi come pick it up?
-Are you being cute right now?
-Anyway, if you don't pick me up tomorrow, I'm not going to college!
-Wow, are you threatening me?
Why did you say this indirectly when you were going to come pick me up anyway?
I fell asleep ignoring Seolgi's text, and before I knew it, the next day arrived and I woke up to the sound of the alarm.
"Ugh, it still hurts.."
I was getting ready to go to college, enduring the pain, wearing slacks, a gray blazer, a thin black shirt underneath, and a hat, when I got a phone call while I was about to leave. The person who called was none other than Kang Seul-gi. It seemed like she had already arrived in front of my house.
"Kang Seul-gi, get out now!"
I said a word and hung up. Enduring the pain in my legs, I went outside and saw what appeared to be Kang Seul-gi's car in front of the house. I got into the passenger seat and observed Kang Seul-gi's expression.
"Are you angry?"
"Are you really doing this because you want to die??"
'I'm sure you're going to get mad, you ignored my texts and just told me to come pick you up tomorrow.'
"..sorry"
Kang Seul-gi's eyes widened at my unexpected words. Even though she was angry, she seemed to feel a bit guilty and said she'd let it go for today. I immediately smiled. Kang Seul-gi, perhaps feeling awkward about my sincere apology, just let it slide.
“But, why did the student body president call you yesterday?”
"You asked MT."
"Again, the professors left it up to the student body president."
"Our school's only problem is the professors, only the professors."
While I was talking to Kang Seul-gi, I arrived at the university. I got out of Seul-gi's car and went inside with her. As soon as I entered, they were preparing for the event.
"But aren't you hot? Are you wearing long sleeves and long pants in this weather?"
"There's air conditioning in the university anyway."
“Since the event will be held outside, most people will be outside.”
"Ah, I don't know either."
To be honest, I was a little taken aback by Kang Seul-gi's words. The truth was, I'd only dressed warmly to hide my wounds. Fortunately, Seul-gi didn't seem to notice my wounds, and someone called my name from far away.
"...I don't even have the right to hit you."
