Corrupt seniors
W. Arumchun
Since I woke up early for the first time in a while, I quickly left the house. The wind was warm, almost too cold to be called cold, and I headed to school, taking in the scent of flowers. The flowers that colored the trees were so beautiful. I took dozens of photos.
When I opened the classroom door, it was empty, and I happily sat down in a corner. I laid out my writing utensils and pulled out my phone. Then, I saw a KakaoTalk notification. It was Jung Ho-seok.
"You bastard..."
You fucking idiot... I held back the harshest curses I could muster. I didn't want anyone to hear. I stuffed my phone in my bag and opened my notebook. I was just trying to review.
"Hello, Yeoju."
"Oh my gosh!!"
"Are you that surprised?"
"If you're not surprised, then you're not surprised??"
"You're using formal language again."
"It's because I'm used to it!!"
"Yes, yes~"
Hmm...I clenched my teeth and glared at Lucifer 1. My pride was hurt when I saw him just grinning, as if he was so happy about something.What are you talking about?At my words, he chuckled and pulled the hair off my cheek.
"...?"
"hair."
"...omg."
My face flushed with the thought that I'd stuck my hair to my cheeks and captured every ounce of emotion I could muster. What if someone saw me? What if they thought I was crazy? Then I'd be truly ruined.
I buried my face in the desk and messed up my hair. I don't know...fuck... I haven't even said anything yet that anyone saw me, but I was just embarrassed of myself. Lucifer 1 just chuckled, thinking I was funny. Should I really kill him?
As people began to enter the classroom one by one, I told Lucifer to take his seat. Despite my warning, he pulled out a chair and sat down. When I looked at him quizzically, he simply shrugged and took out his notebook.
"what are you doing?"
"Why? The professor will be here soon."
"Why are you sitting next to me!!"
"Shh... I'm listening to everything."
"..."
I'll just sit here today.I felt empty as he turned his head away so casually. Naturally, all the girls' piercing gazes turned towards me. Feeling burdened by their gazes, I lowered my head. It was the first time in my 22 years of life that I'd felt such stares.
"The professor is coming. Everyone, study hard."
"yes!!!"
Those gazes didn't last long, though.
"Okay, that's all for today."
The professor left the classroom with a kind smile. My eyes felt drowsy for two hours. "Zeeing..." I rubbed my eyes at the vibration coming from my eco-bag and turned on the screen. Then I saw a KakaoTalk notification.
"...omg"
It was Seokjin oppa.
"Hehe..."
Kim Seokjin. He was my cousin. He was four years older than me, and I'd always been my favorite, so even as an adult, I never felt awkward showing affection or showing affection to him.
He said he was going on a short business trip abroad, but he ended up staying there for two years. Naturally, we lost contact, and we both got busy with our own lives. And today, the day we reunited after two years has arrived.
"Seokjin... Oppa... Heart?"
"Why are you looking?"
"How can you not care that I'm tearing it apart like a crazy person?"
"Huh? Are you crazy?"
"Then what do you say?"
"Okay."
"Is this your boyfriend?"
"Surprise..."
"...Is that your boyfriend?"
"Why is everyone like this? Get out of the way!! I'm going to the gym!!"
I squeezed my way through the three people blocking my way and escaped the classroom. "Why are you bothering me?" I grumbled. I trudged to the science lab alone. It had been a while since I'd been alone, so I felt a strange bitterness. In the past, I'd been okay with this kind of path, but it's all because of those Lucifers.
"...Huh? Why is it like this??"
Clank clank. The fruit room door was firmly locked. It could only be locked from the inside, so there was definitely someone inside.Excuse me! Are you inside?I sighed involuntarily. Was I supposed to sleep inside? I was about to give up and move to the university library.
The door to the fruit room opened, and a cool breeze from the air conditioner blew in. As I entered, darkness, devoid of light, greeted me. Why is it so dark? I was about to take out my phone and turn on the flashlight when, with a bang, the door closed.
"What, what is it?"
"...Who are you.."
"...Is that Jeong Yeo-jun?"
"Jeong Yeo-ju...?"
"If there's a switch nearby, please turn on the light."
"...Are you a girl?
"Why are you asking that..."
Crack! Something covered my mouth. The contents of my eco-bag fell out and I struggled.Woof!!! Ugh!!Even if I screamed, it was blocked.
A thought flashed through my mind during that moment. It was the one I'd seen posted on Bamboo Forest. The title of the article was about a kidnapper kidnapping students in a science lab, but I'd dismissed it as nothing serious. But now, that very thing was happening to me.
"Be quiet!!!"
"Eeeeek!!!"
"Where is the emergency exit?"
A wave of fear washed over me. My mouth was shut, and I couldn't move. Wow. Am I going to be sold as an organ now? Tears welled up in my eyes. I need to see Seokjin oppa... I still haven't received 50,000 won from Jung Ho-seok. There were so many things I hadn't done yet.
Knock_ At the sound of a light knock, both I and the kidnapper stopped moving.Jeong Yeo-ju. I dropped my phone charger.It was Jeon Jungkook's voice.Open the door, please.Taking advantage of the kidnapper's confusion, I pushed him away with all my might and ran to the fruit room door.
"Senior!!! Please save me!! Seon-b..ugh!!!"
"Shut up! Before I kill you for real!!!"
"Jeong Yeo-ju? Are you there?"
"...Hey, get out of the way."
Jeong Yeo-ju. Are you okay?I couldn't answer. My mouth was already gagged again. The kidnapper must have been furious, as he just started dragging me around, looking for an emergency exit. "Not you, you idiot," he said, swearing without hesitation. "I'm really going to die."
Just then, a bright light came on. The door to the science lab was open. I saw Park Jimin, breathing heavily and clutching a bundle of keys. Behind him stood the professor and many students. Tears welled up in my eyes, relieved to be alive.
After reporting to the police, the kidnapper was taken to jail. Five women were found kidnapped from his office and immediately taken to the hospital. The kidnapper, indebted to a loan shark, confessed that he was so afraid of death that he tried to sell the organs of those weaker than himself.
"Hey, lady. Are you okay?"
"How, how did you open it?"
"It's only natural that Gwatop has the keys to the fruit room. Are you okay?"
"...are you okay.."
"...really?"
"..."
"Honestly, are you okay?"
No... I'm not okay... I was scared...The tear ducts that had barely stopped shed tears again. Park Jimin just hugged me. Pride and all that didn't enter my sight. I was just scared and afraid.
So the commotion passed.
1 serial per day is a total bummer for me, who hasn't been back for a few days...
