bully boy

STORY 11

이석철 선생님

“Let’s sit down-!”

It's the last assembly before the school trip. Today, they'll probably tell us our bus seats and the school trip groups.

Since Mr. Lee Seok-cheol is usually close with our classmates, I believe he knows who is close with whom and who is not, and I hope that he will become a group and bus partner like Su-yeon.

이석철 선생님

“What are you doing tomorrow?”

“It’s a school trip!!!”

이석철 선생님

"Today, I'll tell you the bus seats and school trip groups. Everyone, open the hologram window."

As the teacher said, we opened the hologram window, and the result was spectacular.

Suyeon was far away, and I was paired with someone I wasn't close with at all. The class atmosphere was very subdued, and some students were getting irritated.

"Teacher, why is Min Yoonji behind me? The place next to Yoonji is mine ㅠㅠ."

“Shut up, Kang Yeo-rin.”

“Oh shit… I’m stuck with that fucking loser.”

I also heard the voice of a female bully swearing behind me. Her name was Go Yu-jin. I heard she was also part of the Incheon 39 gang.

이석철 선생님

“Okay, be quiet, and let’s get our bus seats like this!”

As the words "No, let's change it" were being exchanged in class, Suyeon found something and held back a laugh, but soon calmed down and raised her hand over Mari and asked a question loudly.

"Teacher! Is the student sitting diagonally behind the bus driver a "last seat"? Why is it called a last seat?"

정여주

“Huh? Huh?”

정여주

“Phew, phe ...

The students all laughed together as if they had discovered it, and even the teacher laughed.

이석철 선생님

“Oh my… I’m so touched… Ah.”

“I think he’s really funny, even when he’s crying…ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.”

“I admit it lol.”

As expected of an ENFP… Thanks to Suyeon, who brought a lot of laughter to our class, we were able to forget about our ruined bus seat. But what was left after that was the school trip group.

I don't think I should leave it to Mr. Lee Seok-cheol to decide the school trip groups. As you can see, it's even more impressive than the bus seats. I think Ami Suyeon will have the hardest time.

Yes. This was a situation that could be truly catastrophe. This time, I was going on a field trip with complete strangers and the quiet, model students at school. I had to figure out how to make it fun.

“…….”

All my classmates were silent, staring at the pitiful hologram window. I wonder if they were all shocked.

이석철 선생님

“Go to sleep, kids; heh….”

"teacher."

이석철 선생님

“Uh…Yeorin….”

"Do Yoonji and I really have to be apart? Can't you just be together, just once? It's our last school trip, so just this once, Yoonji and I, please be together."

“Oh, please. Deuktsuv….”

I feel the same way as Kang Yeo-rin. Is it really fate that I have to be separated from Su-yeon? Starting with Kang Yeo-rin and Min Yoon-ji, our once quiet class became noisy again.

“No lol I’m going to fight with that guy who fucking fought so hard lol.”

“Then you should just go on a school trip, you idiot haha.”

“Fucking inconsiderate. Not an inch of consideration.”

“ㅋㅋㅋ Jimin said he’ll come to the rooftop later.”

“Go, dammit.”

It doesn't seem like a very good story.

Ah, I suddenly remembered Sooyeon. I looked over at her seat, wondering how Sooyeon, who was in the same group as Jeon Jungkook, Park Soohyun, Kim Dohee, and the quiet, model student Jo Shinhye, would react.

As expected, Suyeon simply stared blankly at the hologram window. Just looking at her back, I could tell she was shocked.

But what can I do? It's already a set group, so I can't return it. No, I can't. I misspoke.

After the grumbling and complaining class, I decided to go to Suyeon and vent. Of course, Suyeon would be the most upset, so I decided to put off complaining and go while I was at it.

정여주

“Suyeon… What should I do? They’re all quiet kids, so I have to lead them…”

First, let me tell you what I'm complaining about.

“Listen.”

When Soyeon suddenly asked me to listen, I listened to her, wondering if she might scream.

“I’m the quiet one among two bullies. Shut up.”

정여주

“ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋWhy are you talking so loudly in my ear?”

“It’s scary. Seriously, teacher… why are you going too far?”

I agree 100% with what Suyeon said. I really hope this is a dream.

Dreams are a bitch, and that's how we ended up attending class, feeling so drained. Bus seats and group assignments are so crucial on a school trip, and if we mess up, we'll feel as if we've lost our country.

As we were quietly sitting there, the teacher came in and seemed surprised to see us in a new light, as we had never been this quiet before.

“What’s wrong with you guys?”

“The bus seats and group are ruined….”

“Is that so? What should I do…?”

The teacher looked at us with concern and offered words of comfort. This gave us hope that perhaps he could convince our class teacher to swap bus seats and groups.

“I can’t help it. I have to teach.”

Our expectations were shattered in an instant.

Long, drawn-out classes are over, and it's lunchtime. I fell asleep during class earlier and only just woke up. Looking around, the fourth floor was quiet, as if no one, not even my classmates, were there.

Just as I was about to close my eyes again, thinking that Suyeon would probably go alone, I saw Jeon Jungkook coming towards me from afar. I wondered if he'd already eaten, so I lay face down and watched him come.

But Jeon Jungkook had a slightly mocking expression on his face, whether it was because my posture or my expression was funny. It looked like he was smiling at me.

“Huh, I see.”

정여주

“……Why are you laughing?”

전정국 image

전정국

“No, just. I thought you might be hungry.”

정여주

“Uh...thank you. You don’t have to give it to me.”

“Eat this and wake up.”

What Jeon Jungkook offered me was my favorite bread, which was so popular I couldn't buy it for so long. I wanted it so badly that even if Jeon Jungkook gave it to me, it was still too good.

I'm the type of person who lets my emotions show on my face, so I'm sure my face was smiling. So, as I was about to tear into the bread with a happy expression,

“Uh… Yeoju…?”

I heard someone calling me from behind, and I turned around to see who it was.

I think he found me and Jeon Jungkook when he was about to return to our class after finishing his meal.

정여주

“Huh? Why?”

“You…are close with him…?”

정여주

“Huh? Who?”

“……Jeon Jungkook…you know….”

The friend hesitated for a moment, then quickly said the three letters of Jeon Jungkook's name, making me understand. I understood immediately. Of course, if you don't understand this, you don't speak Korean.

정여주

“Oh, no, we’re not close.”

This guy thinks I'm a two-faced person. Just a moment ago, he was smiling brightly after receiving bread from Jeon Jungkook, and now he's holding that bread so preciously in his hand, and he's talking about how we're not close.

“Really? Then what’s that bread? Isn’t that what Jeon Jungkook gave you…?”

정여주

“Ah, okay,”

“Who got something from Jeon Jungkook?”

Just then, I heard a girl's voice from the hallway outside the classroom. Her tone was utterly annoyed. I looked down the hallway to see who it was.

I have a feeling I'm going to be very tired.

Behind story_

During lunch time, I was heading to our class to eat the bread that Min Yoongi gave me as a thank you after I stopped him from hitting the kid who always hit him too hard.

I saw the female protagonist lying face down, seemingly looking at me. At first, I wasn't sure if she was seeing me, but the closer I got, the more certain I became that she was watching me.

I wondered if he missed lunch because he was sleeping, so I decided to just give him some bread since he had some in his hand and I don't eat bread much anyway due to my health.

But, when I arrived at class 2, the female protagonist was lying on her stomach and looking at me, and her cheeks were pushed up so her lips were in the shape of a •3•, which was so cute.

I tried to hide my laughter, but it kept leaking out, so I just gave the bread to the heroine, just as I was astonished.

“Huh, I see.”

You must have seen me laugh.

정여주

“……Why are you laughing?”

“No, just. I thought you might be hungry.”

정여주

“Uh...thank you. You don’t have to give it to me.”

I felt like I fell in love with the female protagonist all over again, with her incredibly stiff and cold tone of voice contrasting with her cute appearance. Seriously, I almost hugged her without realizing it. It almost was a disaster.

You didn't hear my heart beating, did you?
