What was so scary and painful that a guy like that, a parent like that, was kicking and screaming like he was going to die? Suddenly, I felt empty and regretted the time I spent trying to die.
A few days later, I was discharged from the hospital in good health, and at the same time, they told me that Park Jimin's punishment had been decided. He would be sent to a juvenile detention center and then taken to a detention center when he becomes an adult.
Well, what do you think? He's not alone anymore. Not long after he was discharged from the hospital, winter break for his second year of high school began. Park Jimin has become like that, he's gotten rid of bullying, and he's studying hard to become a doctor.
After seeing Teacher Seokjin, I started studying again, which I had put aside, because I wanted to become a doctor who could give children and friends like me a reason to live harder in this world.
On the surface, Teacher Seokjin criticized him, saying that he knew how difficult hospital work was and that he wanted to become a doctor, but behind the scenes, he even brought Teacher Namjun to help him study, half-threateningly(?).
Anyway, now when I think about wanting to die, I don't grab a box cutter. Instead, I just lie in Seokjin's arms. Then, as if he understands, he pats me on the back without asking any questions.

"Teacher!! I passed!!!!"
"Congratulations baby!!!!"
Two years later, I finally got accepted to the medical school I'd always dreamed of, and my teacher was the first to congratulate me more passionately than anyone else. Huh? Why the baby, anyway?
Teacher Seokjin said that when I was hugging him and cuddling, he thought I was looking at a baby, so he started calling me baby instead of my name. Well, whatever you call me is fine with me.
I'm moving towards my dream one step at a time. It's enough to make the moments I gave up from the beginning seem meaningless. And this time, I heard that Park Jimin is going to the detention center.
Thinking about it now, Park Jimin was also really pitiful.
If he hadn't been born to such a father, he would have lived an ordinary and happy life. I felt sorry for that little child who had to be taught straight up that the weak should be trampled on.
Oh, they say that the congressman's wife divorced him and went abroad, but honestly, I don't know. Did she really leave or did she spread rumors and disappear from the country?
"Ah, Teacher Seokjin!!!"
Anyway, I am happy.
-THE END-
