Family on paper

Love Maze 01

I've been alone ever since I entered high school. Oh, if I had to call the vice president I occasionally spoke to a friend... I only had one friend.

"Hey, there's a nouveau riche in our class? I guess he smelled some money. He's got makeup all over his face."

That's why I didn't bother making friends. Three or four boys approached a girl sitting in the opposite corner. Seeing their dirty grins, I knew they were going to cause trouble.

The ordinary students, minding their own business, glanced in that direction, then quickly looked away, perhaps meeting the eyes of a stern male student. Unlike before, when I didn't know anything, I could tell just by looking.

Thorough class socialism.

It was disgusting to see people rushing at each other only because of their parents' wealth, even though they are the same human being.

"hey,"

"hey."

My words were coming out faster, but they were drowned out by the low voices that followed. I knew it without even having to turn around. The faces of the children were frozen, as if they'd seen something frightening, and the oppressive atmosphere couldn't be hidden...

“Don’t pretend to have something when you don’t.”

The youngest son of the Hansung Group and a famous troublemaker, Kim Tae-hyung.

The situation ended with Kim Taehyung's appearance, making my attempts to step forward pointless. After all, being so out of control in front of Hansung Group, South Korea's largest corporation, was tantamount to suicide.

Kim Taehyung, seemingly oblivious to the attention focused on him, slung his bag over one shoulder and strutted in. His features, always assertive, crumpled as soon as he saw the seating chart on the blackboard.

“⋯.”

“⋯.”

Kim Taehyung, who had just thrown his bag on the seat behind me, met my eyes and stood there for a moment in silence before quickly slumping down on the desk as if he wasn't interested.

“Uh, uh… thank you for helping me.”

"go away."

“⋯Huh?”

“You have nothing, too. Get out.”

A female student surrounded by male students approached Kim Taehyung as if drawn to thank him for helping her, but stopped after taking only a few steps when he told her to get out.

Kim Taehyung sat up straight again, his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to the shocked look on the female student's face. I briefly turned my gaze away from Kim Taehyung and focused on solving the problem.

The bastard Kim Taehyung sitting behind me was a family member on paper, as written on the family relationship certificate.

I removed it because it seemed like some people had trouble with the algo… I revised the story!
