delinquent gang

EP.1

Another transfer.

Because of my parents’ circumstances, I moved around from place to place and transferred to a school called hell.

"Yeoju, this is really going to be the last time. Okay? (Mom)"

"Even if I transfer, so what? I’m in middle school now."

"Yeah, have a good day! (Mom)"

"And why is this uniform so tacky? It’s the first day, and I can’t even wear gym clothes."

"Let’s just not get on the delinquents’ bad side."

"Ah,"

Someone hits Yeoju from behind. 

"Ah, damn it,"

The boy whose name she didn’t even know was annoyingly handsome.

"Hey, if you hit someone, apologize properly."

"Oh, yes, sorry?"

"Oh, by the way, are you from our school?"

"What school are you from?"

"Moa Middle."

I’m screwed. To think I’d end up at the same school as that jerk. I just want this school to pass by as fast as possible. 

"Ah, damn."

"?"

Yeoju runs off.

"What the hell, that psycho,"

"Alright, class, today we have a transfer student."

"Transfer student, introduce yourself."

As the teacher’s voice rang out, Yeoju tensed up too. She didn’t know why she was nervous. Was she just curious about the rumored ‘school of hell’?

"Hi, I’m Kim Yeoju. Nice to meet you all."

"Since it’s your first day here, don’t bully her, got it?"

"Yes~."

"Yeoju, sit in that empty seat over there."

"Yes,"

I’m done for

It was a familiar face. The jerk who had picked a fight with her that morning. 

Why does it have to be next to him..!!

"Hah.. It’s okay, Yeoju. You can do this."

 

Please don’t recognize me, please please..

"Huh? The psycho from this morning?"

Crazy,

"What are you talking about? You two know each other?"

"N-no, we don’t.."

"Then Taehyun, show her around our school."

"No, teacher!!"

"Go and come back,"

The boy stood up with an unhappy look on his face. All the students’ eyes were on me and the boy, and my face started turning red in real time.

Rattle—

[Kang Taehyun/15 years old/delinquent]

"Alright, first, I’m Kang Taehyun. And you are Kim Yeoju?"

"First, this is science c.."

"Skip the explanation and call out the names of all the delinquents at this school."

"Haha, looks like you heard the rumors?"

"First, in Class 1.."

".."

"What are you doing? Why aren’t you talking?"

"Well, in Class 1, Choi Soobin,"

"in Class 2, Hueningkai, in Class 4, me, Choi Beomgyu, and in Class 5, Choi Yeonjun."

"After that, they’re all underlings."

"Wait, you were a delinquent too?"

"Yeah, something like that. But there isn’t really a separate group or anything."

"?haha"

"Anyway, welcome to our school. Literally, this place is hell. They pick on every single kid here,"

"At least I’m the least scary one; the others are all terrifying."

"Ah, and since you’re a transfer student, this must be tough for you?"

"Be my errand runner,"

"? Suddenly? No thanks,"

"If you’re my errand runner at least, they probably won’t mess with you,"

"What’s your number?"

"010-XXXX-XXXX"

"I’ll call you, so pick up later,"

"Okay;;"

"Let’s go back to class now,"

Yeoju and Taehyun go up the stairs.

"Oh, it’s Kang Taehyun."

Somewhere, she heard someone calling Kang Taehyun. Even without knowing their names, she could tell exactly who was who. 

"And next to you, the transfer student?"

"She’s my errand runner,"

"When did I ever,"

"You agreed. You said 'okay'."

"Ah, right;"

[Choi Yeonjun/15 years old/delinquent]

[Choi Soobin/15 years old/delinquent]

[Choi Beomgyu/15 years old/delinquent]

[Huening Kai (Jung Huening)/15 years old/delinquent]

"First, introduce yourselves. I’m Choi Yeonjun. Next to me are Choi Beomgyu, Hueningkai, and Choi Soobin, in that order."

"Oh, and Choi Beomgyu is in the same class as you? Get along well hahaha"

"Who the hell are you to tell me what to do? Mind your own business."

"Anyway, look forward to the next year, transfer student?"

"?"

Yeonjun’s group leaves. 

Choi Yeonjun seemed to be the top dog in our grade. From the very first meeting, he’d been spouting nonsense with that unsettling smile on his face. Then what was Kang Taehyun?

"Let’s go."

Taehyun grabs Yeoju’s wrist and takes her to class.

"Ah, never mind."

"Go into the classroom first. I’ve got something to talk to them about."

"Tell the teacher you went to the nurse’s office, got it?"

"Y-yeah."

"Come back quickly,"
