I got a kiss from a bully at a karaoke bar

04. You kissed me (2)

ah...

I was just dazed. Even though the class I was taking at the academy was a class that included my homework. Even the PPT screen flashed by, even the teacher's voice babbling as he explained things. My ears were still dimly focused.

The karaoke bar's idiot is that crazy guy today. So is that senior a crazy idiot? Let's exaggerate a bit and say he's a crazy idiot.

Jeong Jeong-guk... That senior was the one who kissed me and licked my lips at the karaoke bar last Friday. That's the same senior from school who took my name tag today.

I couldn't attend the trashy school in my old neighborhood, so I looked for a school far away. With my grades, I couldn't even get into a regular high school, let alone a girls' high school, so I had no choice but to apply to the better, segregated-boys school.

I was relieved to find no negative articles about this school despite my diligent research, but that was what really set me off. It sounded like the same thing as saying that if sexual harassment was buried, then something worse wouldn't be a problem.

You know that our high school's cutoff score is low.

But how come there aren't any accidents or incidents when all these idiots are gathered here? That's it.

Someone covered it up 'intentionally.' Do you think reporting that would be accepted? No.

It's buried again.

That thought kept coming to mind, and my hands started shaking, so my handwriting kept slipping up on the printer. Covered? Buried?

'Why are there so few accidents when all these losers are gathered here?'

Yeah. At a school with such a low cutoff score, something can't have happened. The problem is that it's been buried, covered up, and obscured.

My teeth were chattering now. I felt a cold sweat running down my back. It wasn't like this then, why? Why now, after six months?

Hong Yeo-ju. Are you feeling unwell?

The teacher's voice sounded distant as he spoke. Even the sound of his spit gulping down felt strange.

...I wanted to get out of this place.

omg.

I could tell it was a dream when I saw the face before my eyes. The sight of that smiling face made my whole body tensed and tingle.

Why is 'that bastard'... If I were to pick the number one person I hate to see even in my dreams, it would be him. I wanted to scream at that face that was getting closer and closer.

Please go away. I don't like it.

The figure, with only its face trembling, spoke something. At first, the voice was so soft I couldn't hear it, but later,

I wanted to cover my ears.

???

How about tteokbokki?

The only thing he was saying was ringing in his ears like crazy. No, no. His body was stiffening as he tried to struggle, but it felt unfamiliar. Why. Why. Why. Why on earth?

???

With me,

S. Me and him. Tteokbokki.

With me.

'Will you go out with me?'

"Go out with me." With those words, the figure vanished. My fingers felt numb, so I brought my hands up to my eyes. My body moved.

Huh. Huh. Huh. I took a deep breath. The light hadn't come on yet, but the ceiling was familiar. I turned my head to the side and saw a familiar wall.

I woke up from a dream. I woke up from that terrible nightmare.

My fingertips trembled. I wrapped my arms around my head and curled up, tears streaming down my face.

Why in my dreams... the Jeongjeonguk. I didn't have time to think about that. Why in my dreams, 'that bastard'? Why now? You said you'd forget everything.

I was the one who wanted it to pass quietly.

I was the one who said I would become strong but ran away to a faraway place, and I was the one who said I would live quietly but ended up getting involved with someone who seemed dangerous.

It's been 7 months since I said I would forget him... But as if to mock my resolve, 'that kid' appeared in my dreams again.

After 7 months... the aftershock came.

Oh... It's been a while😂 Did you all have a good Chuseok? Did you just go down to your hometown or something?

I didn't do that haha. Everyone, take care of your health... Actually, this episode may not seem like it, but it's a very important story...

But the description was a bit difficult. So I'll give a brief explanation. I think you can understand the rest on your own.

It's an aftershock. This is what the dictionary says about aftershock. Please focus on the second meaning. Besides the aftershock that comes after a couple's breakup, there are other aftershocks, and the female protagonist is in that state right now.

The aftershock that came after 7 months... So, you know that if you try to forget too quickly, the aftershock comes, right? The female protagonist is in that exact situation. So, what happened in the 3rd year of middle school!!

🐌느린 아르노 image

🐌느린 아르노

Yes, up to here!! And the name Jeongjeon-guk is not a typo, it's the female protagonist's name. Oh, I keep writing it like this, it's confusing...

Anyway, I've solved the difficult part of the story, so I'll come back sooner next time. There are a lot of typos, but please be kind and look at them ❤
