06. Hormone Potion.
Jungkook remembers the color of the name tag he saw in Taehyung's past memories.. If it's yellow2Is it a grade?. Jungkook just blindly2Stepping on the classroom door-I open my jaw and quickly roll my eyes to find the face of the mysterious male student.. 2There are six classes in total in the grade., He looked around all six classes, but couldn't find the face he was looking for.. if.. yepIs it with this?..? Jeongguk with an anxious face6As I turn around at the entrance to the classroom, I run into a boy who is entering the classroom.. The three letters of the boy's name written on his name tag caught Jungkook's eye, and he grabbed the man by the collar and pushed him against the wall..
"why...Why is this happening?!"
"say..."
Jeongguk's eyes are fierce as he glares at the male students..
"Keck... what..I'm telling you to speak.."
The boy's face turns red as Jungkook grabs him by the collar so hard..
"yes.. Tell me where you are..!!!!"
"yes..? Who is that again?..?“
The boy shook off Jeongguk's hand that was grabbing his collar with all his might and let out a deep sigh..
"I know you attacked the choices. So quicklyyesTell me where this is."
"...!!"
The boy's expression instantly hardened when he heard that he knew that the choices had been attacked.. The boy seemed to be watching Jeongguk's expression.
"Uwaaaaaaah!!"
He starts running away from Jeongguk, screaming.. Jungkook grits his teeth and chases after the boy, using all his strength to run away from him. Jimin, who had been chasing after Jungkook, appears in front of the boy..
"Uh uh uh? What is it??"
Jimin looked flustered at the sudden pursuit of Jeongguk and the male student, but his body instinctively felt the need to catch the male student, so he closed his eyes tightly and covered him with his whole body..
"Huhuhu-"
The boy under Jimin's arm cries, his face turning into a sad expression as if it's over..
"What is the special method??"
Why is there such a special method needed to make a glass bottle?? Isn't it just made by processing glass?? As I was looking at Youngjae with a curious expression, Youngjae handed me a glass bottle and spoke to me..
"You'll know if you touch this- Something is different.“
Is the material different?? The moment I reached out to Youngjae and placed my hand on the glass bottle he was holding,.
"yes! Don't touch the glass bottle!"
Taehyung's voice can be heard right behind him.. But I already have the glass bottle Youngjae gave me in my hand.. When I reflexively turned towards Taehyung at the sound of his voice, Taehyung looked back and forth between the glass bottle in my hand and me, making a somewhat embarrassed expression..
"Taehyung oppa...?"
what.. Taehyung oppa woke up? I was so happy to see Taehyung looking at me after waking up, so I ran to him and he grabbed me and held me in his arms..
"thank god... I'm so glad... Because you're not hurt.."
While lying down, I don't want to remember.. While wandering in memories that are hard to escape.. Taehyung's mind kept goingyepThis came to mind. As Cha Seon-woo said, the dark choices were targeting the nullifying hormone.. I thought I had to get out of there as soon as possible.. It didn't matter that Taehyung himself was so sad that he felt like he could hardly breathe.. In Taehyung's headyepThere was no other thought than that I had to protect it..
"Taehyung is my older brother..?"
yepHold it tightly for a while- Taehyung, who was hugging her, turns his gaze to Youngjae, who was watching the scene.. ObviouslyyepThe glass bottle touched my hand, but nothing happened.. The shape looks the same.. Is it another glass bottle??
"Where did this glass bottle come from??"
Youngjae answers Taehyung's question with a relaxed expression while looking at him..
"I picked it up because it fell in the hallway on my way here., What's the problem??"
In response to Youngjae's question, Taehyung remembers the glass bottle he dropped when he fell..
"yepah. Give me that glass bottle."
When I gave Taehyung the glass bottle I was holding in my hand at his words, Taehyung threw the glass bottle out the window.. ``Clang- `` With a loud bang, the glass bottle shatters into pieces. He glares sharply at Youngjae, who is watching the bottle, and then leaves the place while holding my hand.. that yepYoungjae, who was watching Taehyung's appearance, snickered- Smile meaningfully.
one side. In the Choice teachers' office, there is a male student covered in wounds and Jeong-guk glaring at him., Jimin is still confused and doesn't know what's going on., And then we see Daehyun fixing the boy's messy hair a couple of times and sitting down across from him.. Taekwoon and Hoseok are sitting next to Daehyun..
"therefore, You just found a book called Hormone Potion in the library.?"
To Daehyun's question``Pyo Ji-hoon`` The boy wearing the name tag says while looking at Jeong-guk who is glaring at him with a tearful face as if he is going to kill him at any moment..
"I'll tell you everything.. I'll tell you everything, so please leave him alone... how..youI'm not scared- Ugh.“
"Jungkook, Relax your expression a bit~ He's shaking because he's scared of you.-"
At Jihoon's words, Hoseok pats Jeongguk's back and speaks soothingly, but Jeongguk's eyes don't show any signs of softening..
"Don't waste time and just tell me. I don't know how long I can endure staring at you.."
"I'll tell you! I said-"
Jihoon, startled by Jeongguk's words, quickly begins to speak.. Ji-hoon is holding an old book in his hand.. Taekwoon's expression hardened noticeably the moment he saw the book..
"therefore.. I was learning about the theory of human hormones at the library.. But there was a book called Hormone Potion in front of me, so I opened it and there was a note and instructions on how to make a hormone potion.."
"note..?"
"yes, It's a note. At the entrance to the back of the school, there is a potion that you need to drink before making the hormone potion, a vial that can hold the hormones of the Choices, and a potion of nullifying hormones that will prevent you from receiving the hormones of the Choices when you meet them...And if you get your hands on that potion, you can sell it for a high price... I'm tempted by that.."
".. There was a nullifying hormone potion.?"
"yes. It was a transparent colored potion.. After eating that, I was able to avoid the effects of hormones.."
At Ji-hoon's words, Dae-hyun looks at Ji-hoon with a somewhat serious expression and says.
"What you did this time is tantamount to murder.."
"yes.. What do you mean?..?"
"You may not have noticed because you didn't read the book closely, but when you make a hormone potion for Choice, the hormone-deprived Choice will have their lifespan reduced by the amount of hormones they lost.."
"Life..Reduced..You're saying that??"
"The story is that your actions shortened Hoseok and Taehyung's lives.."
Ji-hoon's face turns into shock at Dae-hyun's words..
"I..I am.. I really didn't know.. I really... Simply.. Because I wanted to make money.. teacher.. I am.."
"Even though you said you didn't know, what you did was clearly a crime.. He will be punished accordingly.."
Ji-hoon's eyes shake anxiously at Dae-hyun's words.. Ho-seok, who was looking at Ji-hoon with pity, speaks to Dae-hyun..
"I don't know about Taehyung, but. I don't want to punish that guy.. It's an act of ignorance, and it's something life gives... Even if you just get a hormone suppression injection, it's like that.."
"Punish me."
As soon as Hoseok finished speaking, Taehyung opened the door to the teachers' office and came in.. Following Taehyung like thatyepWhen the sight of Jihoon appeared, Jeongguk's gaze turned to Jihoon.yepis fixed to.
"Punish them. What that guy did was a clear criminal act.."
"taehyoung kim. You're so cold~"
Taehyung's gaze is cold as he looks at Jihoon, as if he has no intention of changing his mind despite Hoseok's words..
"The only people who know if this guy is related to the Dark Choices or not are this guy and the Dark Choices guys.. What the hell makes you believe that I should forgive this guy??"
Hoseok has nothing more to say in response to Taehyung's words.. Jihoon is the only one who looks at Daehyun with a tearful face..
"Jihoon. Why did you try to make money??"
Ji-hoon, who was choking up at Dae-hyun's words, took his wallet out of his pocket, opened it, and handed over a photo.. The photo Daehyun received shows two children younger than Jihoon..
"The sharp-looking one is Jiho, and the one who looks like an ostrich is Jaehyo.. They are my younger siblings.. My parents passed away early.. I have to take responsibility for these guys... I'm a high school student.. I was so desperate to succeed in my research on hormones as soon as possible because I didn't have the means to make money... As I discovered that book.. Without me knowing... I guess I'm getting greedy. But if I had known that it would take the lives of the people I chose, I wouldn't have even tried it... It's true,. Please believe me..please.. Ohhhh-"
A couple of tears fell from Ji-Hoon's eyes.- Fall down. It doesn't seem like you're lying...
"Taehyung oppa... I wonder if that person also had no choice but to do something for the people he cared about...?"
"..."
"Actually, today, I saw Taehyung and Jungkook getting hurt, and even though I knew I couldn't do anything, I ran out there just to do something.. I even thought about giving in to what Dark Choice demands.. Even though I know it's wrong."
As I looked up at Taehyung and told him my heartfelt story of what happened today, Taehyung turned his gaze towards me..
"But if I ever come across that situation again.. I think I'll do the same thing. Even if that means making a sacrifice on my part.."
Taehyung sighs deeply at my words and speaks in a calm voice..
"Please take a look. Do as you please."
“I..Really..? thank you. thank you. And I'm really sorry."
So the hormone potion scandal was settled as an incident that occurred in a poor family of a certain non-choice family.. The book "Hormon Potion" was banned, so Teacher Taekwoon confiscated it. Jihoon was forced to do community service on campus until graduation, ending the incident..
"wow- How long has it been since we last had peace?!"
Yoon-gi stretches both arms upwards with a happy expression as if he is refreshed..
"Yoongi oppa looks happy. Yes, Amiya?"
"Meow- Meow!"
Namjoon, who was watching Yoongi in a good mood, lifted Ami as if he was in a good mood too, and Ami meowed- Let out a good cry.
"Did you really think that after Jung Ho-seok, Kim Tae-hyung would also fall?.."
When Seokjin said this while shivering as if he never wanted to think about it again, Hoseok smiled optimistically.yepI see.
"what- Me too, Kim Taehyung too, usyepThe beggar who saved the teeth,"
"why yepThis is Hoseok hyungyepHey?"
Taehyung frowns slightly at Hoseok's words and shoots laser beams at him with his eyes..
"Now that I think about it, Jeon Jungkook, how did you know that the culprit was Pyo Jihoon??"
Jimin looks at Jungkook curiously and asks, but Jungkook ignores him instead of answering..
"Now that I think about it, how did Taehyung know where I was??"
yepTaehyung also seemed to have difficulty answering the question and smiled brightly.yepApproach from behindyepHold him in your arms- hug.
"we yepNo matter where you are, this guy can figure it out~"
"so yepSince when is this Kim Taehyung's?yepIt was?"
In response to Taehyung's words, Hoseok responds by saying the same thing he said to Taehyung.. At Hoseok's words, Taehyung sticks his tongue out at Hoseok.- and says.
"yepThis is something I've been eyeing from the beginning~"
"well yepThis is the first time I've met you!"
Hoseok and Taehyung'syes Jimin joins the fight, and Jungkook, who was watching them, smiles slightly as if he's being a bit of a nerd, then leaves the classroom and heads to the infirmary where Taekwoon is..
"Teacher Taekwoon~ Give me a shot.“
Jeong-guk visits the health center frequently because the effects of the injection do not last as long as before.. But contrary to Jeongguk's expectations, there was no one in the infirmary.. Jeongguk fell down on the bed in the infirmary, intending to wait for Teacher Taekwoon.- As I sit and look around the infirmary, I notice a book spread open on Taekwoon's personal desk..
"Is that the book that Pyo Ji-hoon picked up??"
Jeongguk frowned as if remembering the previous incident and turned to where the book was opened.Approaching. As Jeong-guk was looking at a faded book that looked like it had been around for a long time, another memory from the past began to unfold, just like when he saw a glass bottle..
