Corrupt seniors

W. Arumchun

Gyaaaaah-! The girls' voices pierced through the AirPods. My head turned in that direction. Ugh. Here we go again. Three people with long legs and grins walked toward me from among the girls. They were called the Angels of Korea University.

Because he's handsome and kind. For those reasons alone, he's called an angel.

If I flip my head once, gooooo. If I yawn once, gooooo. This is so fucking annoying. What are those three people? I thought they were idols. I turned up the volume of my AirPods and focused on reviewing. The test is coming up soon, aren't you worried? Seriously, this is weird. Tsk.

As I was memorizing them one by one, a shadow appeared above my head. I raised my head wondering what it was and saw a distinct face. It was Jimin, one of the angels I mentioned earlier. He seemed to be saying something... Why can't I hear him? I frowned and Jimin smiled and took out one of my AirPods.

"Can you hear me now?"

"Ah, AirPods."

"How loud was it? I called from far away."

"It's a bit noisy."

"Oh, is it because of me?"

Well. I can't say no, can I? I swallowed the words that were rising to the very tip of my tongue and shook my head. I didn't want to bring it up and become the target of the girls' hatred. I forced a smile and asked him.What's going on?

"I think I sent the wrong revised version of the group project PPT."

"Oh... I'm sorry. I'll send it again later."

"No. Study hard."

"yes."

After my conversation with my senior, I put my AirPods back on and concentrated on my studies. Ugh... why do I keep getting stuck here? There was a point along the way where I got stuck and my concentration was completely shattered. Could it be because I was studying outside? It's a ridiculous explanation, but I figured it might be the environment, so I put my books in an eco-bag and was about to head to the university library.

"That's wrong."

"...ah"

"The question and the answer are switched. You're not good at taking notes, are you?"

"...I was just confused. Did you study, senior?"

no.I was slightly taken aback by his confident answer. The senior standing before me was also one of the seniors I'd called an angel earlier. Kim Taehyung. He was the ultimate object of jealousy for boys and an idol for girls. Perhaps that's why the girls always went to great lengths to protect him.

"Are you going to the library?"

"Yes. I can't concentrate."

"Okay. Study hard."

"Yes. You too, senior."

Unlike these seniors and the kids who follow them, I'm just a quiet type. Not a nerd, not a popular kid, just somewhere in between. I don't like anyone, I don't hate anyone. I just don't have feelings for anyone.

Since I'm the type of person who doesn't care about attention or men, no one ever said anything bad about me. They just said I was a little boring.

But I just loved the quiet life.

"Ugh... It's noisy."

A place where music was blaring loudly. It was a famous club. My mother gave me a ten-thousand-won bribe to bring my brother, who was drunk to death, back.

A woman flirting with a man by swaying her body. A man flirting with a woman. It was just disgusting. To me, they were just like fish flapping their wings. It was like they were wagging their tails, saying, "Oh, how fresh do you think I am? Come try me."

"...Fuck, where is room 18?"

After about 10 minutes of just wandering around the club, the words finally came out of my mouth. As I was zipping through the crowds, I felt like I smelled every perfume there was. I kept saying "Fuck" in my head 164 times as I searched for a room. "Fuck. There are so many people." I said "Fuck" 165 times like this.

When I called my brother, all I heard was a woman's stern voice. "Ugh... Hold on. You got the ten thousand won. You can just call me later. Okay. Of course you'll call me later."

"...Oh, over there."

"...?"

When I was starting to get tired, I grabbed a man and asked for directions. Where is room 18? The man, expressionless, told me to go up to the second floor. I gave him a brief thank you and ran up the stairs. "You're lost now, Jung Ho-seok."

"...Excuse me, is that Jeong Ho-seok..."

"Oh, so Hoseok is your younger brother?"

"yes..."

"Hey, your little brother is here."

"Huh? My little sister? Jeong Yeo-ju?"

"Hey, Jung Ho-seok and me, you little shit. You're lost."

"Ahhhhhh!!! It hurts!!!"

"Shut up. Unless you really want to be my older sister."

"...hiccup."

I finally found room 18 and grabbed my brother's kid by the hair and ran out of the club. Jung Ho-seok still hadn't come to his senses, and was laughing like a lunatic. Hehe. Yeojuyaayaang... Hahaha... Hah... This is fucking crazy.

Ugh... I was passing a convenience store with my brother in tow when I heard a sound. My pupils shook. No way... Oh, no way. I thought as I looked.

"Yeoju...ugh..."

"You crazy bastard!!! Hold on!! Hold on!!!"

"Ugh..."

It's all sorts of things, really. I didn't hesitate and went into the convenience store and asked where the bathroom was. The part-timer must have sensed my brother's condition, so he urgently handed me the bathroom key and told me to go through that door.

After putting my brother's kid in the bathroom, I returned to the convenience store and bowed my head in apology to the part-timer. The part-timer waved his hands, saying it was okay and that he was used to it. Seriously, what a disgrace that kid is...

"Uhhhh... Juyaaaaang..."

"Are you done?"

"(Nodding)"

"let's go."

"(Nod)"

Leaving the convenience store, I dragged Jung Ho-seok, who was still asleep leaning against me, and groaned as I headed home. "This won't do. I should have gotten 50,000 won." I vowed to myself to get my money back tomorrow, and tried to pass through the alley.

A sudden sloshing sound made me furrow my brow involuntarily. "Are they kissing in alleyways now?" "Tsk." I clicked my tongue and was about to pass by when I heard a familiar voice. It was the same voice I'd heard earlier today.

"ha..."

"What are you doing?"

"It's time to let it go now... huh?"

"I told you, your kissing is fucking terrible."

"Jimin..."

"You're no good. Get out."

"...I'm going to tell you all... You dirty, trashy kids!!! Get ready!!!"

"I see."

"...what?"

If you say that, who will people believe? You were known as a bitch at school, weren't you?The woman who had been grumbling in the alley burst into tears and ran out at the harsh voice.

Standing by the entrance to the alley, I braced myself for a pounding heart and cautiously attempted to make my way home. Their conversation still resonated in my head, but if they found out I'd overheard them, what would happen? Seriously, I felt like my college life wouldn't be safe.

Who would have thought those so-called "angels of Korea University" had such dirty inner thoughts? My steps quickened. I picked up my brother again and continued walking.

"Eh...Echwiing-!!!"

"Ah. Shit."

I forgot that my brother's son is a total help to me.

"Who's there?"

"Crazy...Hey, Jung Ho-seok! Run!!!"

"Hurry up?"

"Run!!!"

yes!I once doubted Jeong Ho-seok, who was good at answering questions, but I was really shocked when I saw the brat who abandoned me and ran away. I'm going to break that leg tomorrow too.

"...Jeong Yeo-ju?"

"senior..."

"..."

"J, I didn't hear anything!! I didn't hear my seniors making anyone cry! I didn't hear them say that kissing was so bad! Ah! Uh, I didn't hear them call me a fox either...!"

"I heard everything."

"...Huh."

You're not going to say anything, are you? That would be better.Jimin's cold voice sent shivers down my spine. It was amazing how people could change like that.

The situation was like a trembling chick caught between three growling wolves. I felt infinitely small. Frustrated by my delayed response, Taehyung, who had been smoking behind me, walked up to me and grabbed my shoulder tightly.

"...Ugh."

"We're on good terms, right, heroine."

"..."

"So this time,"

I slapped Taehyung's arm away before he could finish speaking. "You're just telling me to shut up after killing someone." Apparently taken aback by my actions, Taehyung grabbed my arm and, with a cold, hard expression, opened his mouth.

"I don't know what kind of nerve you have to do that,"

"You don't do that to me?"

"what?"

You should have at least tried threatening her, like the woman who ran away earlier. Then she'd probably shut up a little.I snickered and looked at Taehyung. He glared at me as if he was going to hit me, and Jungkook, who was behind me, barely managed to stop Taehyung.

The only reason they don't threaten me is because I'm quiet on campus. A quiet, hard-working kid suddenly spouting out strange rumors? Of course, they'd spread them. Of course, the boys would be the first to spread them. For the men at Korea University, these angel-clad devils are the number one target of envy and shunning.

"Jeong Yeo-ju."

"I have to go catch my brother. I'll be going now."

"hey."

"Oh, and do you know what a fallen angel is called?"

Lucifer. That nickname suits you well.As soon as I finished speaking, I ran like crazy towards home. I didn't make it far, but I collapsed, exhausted. I chuckled, looking at my shaking hands. "Jeong Yeo-ju, you're crazy. How am I going to handle tomorrow?"

"Uh...Mom...How did I get home?"

"I brought it."

"...you?"

"Yes. Me!!! Do you know how much I suffered because of you?!"

I saw Jeong Ho-seok wake up half-asleep and smashed his back.Oh, Mom!! Jeong Yeo-ju hit me!!!But Mom didn't even glance at Jung Ho-seok. I came home crying yesterday.

Last night, I finally made it home on trembling legs, and seeing my mom worrying about me, I let out a torrent of tears. I sobbed and cried. I even got a beating from my mom for babbling about Lucifer's life being in the balance.

"Deposit 50,000 won by today."

"5...50,000 won? Are you crazy?"

"Haha, is this kid crawling?"

"..."

"Deposit the money. I'm going to school."

"Jeong Yeo-ju!!! 30,000 won!!! How about 30,000 won? ㅠㅠ"

I threw a tantrum at Jung Ho-seok, who was nagging me about 30,000 won, and leisurely left the house. "Because of you, Lucifer is going to get targeted. Oh, he's already been targeted."

As I was leaving the apartment entrance, I suddenly doubted my eyes....crazy.Before I knew it, the six-character words just came out of my mouth.

"It's finally out."

"Why are the seniors..."

"Are you a senior again? You said it was Lucifer yesterday."

"that..."

Do we have a lot to talk about?My body froze at the sight of Senior Jeongguk slyly putting his arm around my shoulder. They were clearly laughing.
