Devil Jungkook

I am a teacher and you are a student

여주

Me: ".....Hey Taehyung. We're in the third year, right?"

김태형 image

김태형

Taehyung: "Why are you asking such an obvious question? Then you're going to be a second year student for two years?"

No, that's not it... I looked around the classroom after becoming a third-year student. Park Soo-young was looking at me and the girls with disapproving eyes. And Tae-hyung was always there talking to me.

여주

Me: "It wasn't much different from my second year, so I thought I'd dropped a grade without even realizing it."

김태형 image

김태형

Taehyung: "Huh. This human is here, but nothing has changed?"

Taehyung said while patting Yoongi's back while he was sleeping face down next to him.

여주

Me: "Oh right, there was this person... Why are we all in the same class.."

Well... I'm going back in time to explain why this person(?) who graduated is in the third-year classroom.

***

The first day of third grade wasn't as nerve-wracking or exciting as I thought it would be.

If I hated it, I hated it. I couldn't feel any excitement about becoming a senior in high school where studying was the only way to survive. Kim Taehyung, who I thought would be lonely without him, and Park Sooyoung, who I hoped would never be involved with him again, were grouped together in the same class as last year, so I experienced both familiarity and newness at the same time.

Park Soo-young still firmly believed that I killed Jung Chae-yeon. (She was a bit discouraged after Kim Tae-hyung threatened her before.) Because of this, it is highly unlikely that she will be able to get along with the girls this year either.

Well, it didn't really matter since we hadn't seen each other in a year anyway. But-

Yoongi: "Min Yoongi. Paid. I think those two words will do. The end."

Why on earth is this person in a third grade classroom?

여주

Me: "....Hey Kim Taehyung, didn't you graduate?"

김태형 image

김태형

Taehyung: "Ah, that's.... Ah, why am I the one doing the training..!! My brother kept throwing a tantrum saying he was going to fail, so I told him to figure it out, but he bragged about failing yesterday. I told him not to tell you, so I couldn't."

After briefly introducing himself, Yoongi went to the seat the teacher had assigned, then walked towards Taehyung's seat.

민윤기 image

민윤기

Yoongi: "Hey."

학생1

Student 1: ".....Me..?"

Yeah, you. Switch with me. Even though it was just a few words, the boy sitting behind me got scared and moved back to Yoongi's original seat.

선생님

Teacher: "Min Yoongi, what are you doing? Why don't you change your seat?"

민윤기 image

민윤기

Yoongi: ".....Ah."

여주

Me: ".....Ah..?"

When my brother was criticized for something he'd been doing as if it were normal, he calmly grabbed my wrist and helped me up. At the same time, the other kids' eyes turned to me. "What are you going to do now?"

민윤기 image

민윤기

Yoongi: "Because I'm her older brother. If the girls are bullying her, who else but family would help her?"

Everyone was dumbfounded by Yoongi's confident speech. The teacher remained silent, seemingly helpless at his shamelessness. My brother and I sat down, and at the same time, Taehyung slapped my brother on the back.

김태형 image

김태형

Taehyung: "They've been talking nonsense since the beginning of the semester. Why don't you just advertise to the world that you're siblings?"

민윤기 image

민윤기

Yoongi: "That kind of thing is annoying. Just shut up and keep those kids' mouths shut."

My brother called Park Soo-young's group "those kids" and said to Tae-hyung, "Since this guy had a blast today, he's going to add fuel to my rumors."

민윤기 image

민윤기

Yoongi: "But isn't it still somewhat trustworthy?"

"Now I can protect you all," he says cheerfully, despite being the one involved in this commotion.

여주

Me: ".....Haa.."

I sighed at the prospect of a future that seemed like it would never be quiet again.

***

....Anyway, that's how it ended up like this.

여주

Me: "No, I was definitely paying attention, but I don't understand what you're saying!! Are you even going to explain it in Korean in the first place? It's just 10,000 more than the 2nd grade, so why is it so hard? Damn it!!"

김태형 image

김태형

Taehyung: "You weren't even good at second grade."

여주

Me: ".......I admit it."

That's true, but do you really want to fall for it? I grab Taehyung by the collar with both hands and glare at him with murderous eyes, and he chuckles like a mischievous child.

민윤기 image

민윤기

Yoongi: "I'm going to hand over the Demon King title to Yeoju anyway, so she doesn't have to study."

.....Huh? What do you mean? I let go of Kim Taehyung's collar, which I was holding onto, as he spoke indifferently, resting his chin on his hand.

여주

Me: "Why am I the Demon King?"

민윤기 image

민윤기

Yoongi: "Because I want to do it."

"Can a Demon King just hand over his job so easily?" I looked at Kim Taehyung with a look of incomprehension.

김태형 image

김태형

Taehyung: "Ah. If you say you're going to inherit the Demon King's throne, you have to study harder. If you keep playing around like this person, the Demon World will be ruined."

민윤기 image

민윤기

Yoongi: "Oh, why? Because I'm the Demon King, the Demon World is running smoothly like this."

김태형 image

김태형

Taehyung: "Hyung, you're smart because you received successor training when you were young. Do you think I didn't make you study for no reason? I left you alone because you were good at running the country even without it."

여주

Me: "How are your grades, oppa?"

민윤기 image

민윤기

Yoongi: "Of course it's all white."

Wow, I really hate you, oppa. Get out of this world. You just kept paying me to tease me.

It is said that Yoon-ki was deeply hurt by his younger brother's curse, which he heard for the first time.

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "Uh...is this a bit serious?"

Even if she's the younger sister of a genius brother, she probably didn't inherit his brilliant mind. My dad was a genius (Yoon-gi told me). So does that mean I take after my mom?

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "You didn't sleep during class, did you?"

여주

Me: "If you slept and got that much, wouldn't you be a genius? Anyway, is that a serious score that you should be making such a fuss about?"

김태형 image

김태형

Taehyung: "The average score for a high school senior is between 30 and 40 points, so isn't it normal that it's so bad?"

여주

Me: "Shut up, Kim Taehyung is number one behind you."

Damn, I should've burned my report card a long time ago. I lamented my fate, staring at the report card in Uncle Jimin's hands and listening to his nagging. I had a rough idea of ​​how my uncle would react, but I was a little surprised by his bright expression.

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "Why are you so indifferent? You're laughing at these grades on your child's report card?"

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "Anyway, I'll take you to the Demon World as soon as you graduate, so is there any need for you to study hard?"

Honestly, if you can just do basic arithmetic well, you won't have any problems living, right? Just read the letters well, what more can you ask for?

The uncle was really free-spirited, but I felt dirty in a different way than my uncle because I didn't seem to have any expectations of him in the first place.

김태형 image

김태형

Taehyung: "Guys, what more do you expect from this girl's hair? Even this much is almost a miracle, a miracle. Wait a minute, why are you hitting me, Jeon Yeo-ju!!!!"

여주

Me: "Die, die. Shit!!!"

Either curse or protect me, please. I hit Kim Taehyung's head mercilessly with the sofa cushion next to me.

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "This won't work, Mr. Jeon, come out."

여주

Me: "What is that..?"

Yes, Mr. Jeon is on his way. The old man was already wearing round glasses. Could it be Mr. Jeon...

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "Even though he looks like this, he was a teacher 400 years ago. Well, there may be a difference in the study level of today's kids, but I can raise this score by about double."

여주

Me: "....Sir...I love you..."

I was overwhelmed with gratitude as I hugged the man who smiled kindly, as if a halo were emanating from behind him. I was a little touched. Until I heard what he said after that.

전정국 image

전정국

Man: "I love you too, honey. But honey... I'm just saying this just in case."

You can't hate me because of my teaching style..? I thought this was a joke. Yeah, I thought it was a joke and just laughed it off. You stupid Jeon Yeo-ju. Oh.

***

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "Look. This is just a long explanation of the problem, but if you just get to the point... ... ..."

The teacher's explanations were better than most school teachers'. He explained the main points clearly and dug into my understanding. But why do I always feel so sleepy during class?

여주

Me: "Sir....can you explain it one more time...? I'm sleepy..."

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "...Sleepy? Phew...Okay. I'll explain it one more time. But later, I'll add 30 more problems for you to solve on your own."

여주

Me: "...How many?"

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "30. Do you know how many times this has been explained? I could memorize this in my sleep."

He's a cold-hearted old man who, if seen by someone who doesn't know him, would mistake his lover for a fucking enemy. I didn't know his upbringing was so Spartan.

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "Ah, once you finish math, science is next, so prepare."

It was so Spartan I thought I was going to die. I thought I knew what the old man meant when he said not to hate me.

If you keep hearing things like this, you'll probably lose some of your skills. Of course, I'm not saying that's the case.

......Well, in good conscience, I can't say absolutely not. But I still love you, mister.

At the same time, Taehyung was fiddling with his phone in an abandoned house, a place that felt like home to him in the human world.

This abandoned house, quiet and desolate, with not a single person passing through, was the perfect place for Yoongi and Taehyung, who were unknown to the human world. There was no harm in leaving a trace, and most importantly, it didn't matter what they did.

A good example of this is Jeong Chae-yeon.

The biggest reason why Jeong Chae-yeon committed suicide was because Yoon-ki gave her the nightmare pain right here in this abandoned house.

김태형 image

김태형

Taehyung: "....Yeoju is studying...and Yoongihyung is probably working in the demon world."

Jiying- Taehyung, who was fiddling with his phone here and there, looked at the phone that started to vibrate.

김태형 image

김태형

Taehyung: "...Bae Joohyun?"

A kid who didn't even come to school because he was sick had something to say to me. Taehyung didn't think it was a big deal and immediately answered Joohyun's phone.

김태형 image

김태형

Taehyung: "Hello? Bae Joohyun?"

배주현 image

배주현

Joohyun:-.......

김태형 image

김태형

Taehyung: "?? Hey Bae Joohyun.. Can't you hear what's going on?"

Bae Joo-hyun? Hey Bae Joo-hyun!!!!! I was dumbfounded by the phone call where I couldn't hear anything, and then the call with Joo-hyun suddenly ended. Then a text message arrived.

[Help me, Taehyung.] A text came from Bae Joohyun.

It was a rather strange text message from a kid who didn't come to school because he was sick.

***

Studying was difficult, but after I got used to it to a certain extent, even I, who was learning in my own way, became more demanding and asked for more problems. As a result, my studies progressed very quickly.

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "....Should we rest here?"

I've been waiting for those words. I put my pencil down on the desk like a sword on a battlefield. Somehow, I felt like I'd used up all the brains I could muster in a lifetime today.

The old man's face, which had been cool until just a moment ago, had become as playful as ever. "So, this is my old man." Thinking it would be okay since it was break time, I dragged my drooping body and dove into the old man's arms.

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "Was it really hard?"

여주

Ni: "....No, well...it's not that hard..haha.."

What woman would say she was having a hard time when he looked at her with those big, rabbit-like eyes full of worry? I turned the heat on the man who continued to worry even when I told him it was okay.

여주

Me: "Eight, then just give me a kiss. It won't be hard if I get that."

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "....Isn't it too obvious?"

My baby is brighter than me, which is a problem... I guess it's okay to take that as a compliment? I'm so happy because I'm proactive, and my progress is progressing smoothly. (Huh?)

여주

Me: "So you're not going to do it?"

"It's okay, I can do it." He grabbed the hesitant man's head, pressed his lips together, and then released them.

여주

Me: "Oh, I think I'll survive."

His face and ears were red, and his eyes were wide open in surprise, so cute. Is he really a person who has lived for over a thousand years? He's so cute.

여주

Me: "Teacher Jeon's face turned red."

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "....Open the book. I'm going to start over. And-"

From now on, I'm the teacher and you're the student. If I do this, I'll get in trouble, okay? It was the old man's cute rebellion, his face red as a strawberry.

Jimin came to the afterlife after a long time. There was no reason for Jimin, a living human, to go to the afterlife, which is only for the dead. However, since immortality was a special case, Jimin could go not only to the afterlife, but also to heaven and the demon world.

정호석 image

정호석

Hoseok: "Hey, it's been a while. I never thought I'd see you in the afterlife."

Hoseok and Namjoon spotted Jimin and greeted him. Seeing them in black suits felt unfamiliar, perhaps because they were always seen in their school uniforms. It dawned on them that these two were grim reapers.

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "The Demon King, the King of Hell, the Grim Reaper... tsk. At this rate, I might even meet a goblin."

김남준 image

김남준

Namjoon: "A goblin? If you live for over 2,000 years, you've met all sorts of things, right? But time still exists. If you meet a goblin, pull out a sword from his chest."

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "Anyway. Why did you call me here? If it's nothing serious, I'll really stab you in the chest with a sword."

No, if you called someone, at least tell them the way. I thought I was going to die trying to find the gate to the afterlife. Jimin, full of irritation, accepted the notebook that Hoseok gave him.

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "...It's a list."

정호석 image

정호석

Hoseok: "As expected, people who have lived a long time have different perspectives. I noticed it right away."

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "So. What does this mean?"

김남준 image

김남준

Namjoon: "Yeomra the Great creates a new list every year. He writes the names of all the people who die this year in this notebook. And when the time comes, it's our job as grim reapers to collect the souls of the dead people."

But look here. Namjoon was pointing to the exact center of a page in the notebook. Among the countless names written on it, one name stood out with a red line.

Bae Joo-hyun. The name was written in black with a red line drawn across it. Jimin looked at the two of them with a look that seemed to ask, "What should I do?"

정호석 image

정호석

Hoseok: "Bae Joo-hyun. She was supposed to die in July. But yesterday, I saw a red line on the register. So I went to look for the body, but there wasn't even a single trace of the body, and the soul was gone without a trace. This is the first time in the history of the underworld. That's why I called you."

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "What about my relationship with this Bae Joo-hyun? If there's nothing, it's your problem in the afterlife, so I'll go back right away."

김남준 image

김남준

Namjoon: "The relationship is very close. I'm an immortal being like you. I called you because I thought you might know something."

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: ".....Unfortunately, I didn't even know that kid was the same as me, and all I know is that Jeon Jungkook's trial is giving me a headache, so do you think I would know that?

The two were convinced by Jimin's answer more easily than expected.

정호석 image

정호석

Hoseok: "Even though he's immortal, he still dies. I just realized this."

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "I told you before. You're not immortal, but you die when your lifespan runs out. It's the same as humans. If you commit suicide, you die. If you get hit by a car, you die. You just live longer."

You have no idea how painful that is.

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "Is that all you need? Can I go home now? I'm a little worried about what Jeon Jungkook might do to Yeoju. (In fact, it's the opposite.)"

김남준 image

김남준

Namjoon: "Oh, there's one more. That's-... .. ........"

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "...this is crazy."

***

여주

Me: "Ugh...!!! It's over!!"

Yeoju finished the last problem and stretched, exclaiming. Jungkook took the workbook she had worked on and began quickly grading it with his eyes.

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "Yeah, you got it all right. Good job, baby."

The old man chuckled and patted my head. Goodbye, Sparta. You're gone from me forever. I felt good seeing the old man's affectionate expression return.

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "Hey Jeon Jungkook-!!!!!!!!"

I flinched in surprise as Uncle Jimin burst through the door. He didn't seem particularly surprised, perhaps because he'd heard the footsteps earlier.

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "What's wrong all of a sudden? You surprised me."

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "There's Lee Jong-suk, the grim reaper, the guy you poked a hole in last time."

Huh? Why is Teacher Jongseok here? My uncle and I were puzzled as we listened to our uncle.

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "Why is he here?"

박지민 image

박지민

Jimin: "He was destroyed!!! No, I mean... he died."

전정국 image

전정국

Jungkook: "........Huh?"

여주

me : yes?"

I didn't know it at the time,

I never dreamed that this fact would become so important.
