Is it fun to run away?

#20 Why I Became a Psycho 1

From now on, the story will proceed from Jihoon's past perspective.

This happened four years ago when I was 18.

I developed a crush on a girl in my class.

The reason I became a psycho,

It must be because of this woman.

???

"Hey, gather around!!"

???

"Let's play dodgeball!!"

사나 image

사나

"P-Dodgeball..?"

???

"Why? Are you bad at dodgeball? Are you sick?"

박지민 image

박지민

If you can't do it, you can take a break. I won't force you.

The Park Jimin that woman sees is... unnecessarily handsome.

Because she's the kind of kid all the kids want...

사나 image

사나

"Ah, no! I'll do it!"

And so the dodgeball began...

☆Jihoon and Sana are on the same team, Jimin is on a different team☆

???

"Hey! Throw it fast!!"

puck-

Sana was hit by a ball thrown really hard by another team.

사나 image

사나

" ah!! "

I ran to the man who slumped down with a thud.

박지훈 image

박지훈

Are you okay? Can you get up?

사나 image

사나

"Uh, uh... It's Jihoon. I... I can't get up..."

박지훈 image

박지훈

"Want to get on my back?"

사나 image

사나

"G-Is that okay? Thanks!!"

박지민 image

박지민

"Ah, f*ck... Hey, who is it?"

박지민 image

박지민

"Who threw the ball hard at that frail kid?"

???

"It doesn't matter since they're on different teams anyway, right?"

???

You took one out.

박지민 image

박지민

".....Is that you?"

박지민 image

박지민

I'm going to gang up on you with the ball today.

☆Author's Point of View

Jihoon and Sana went to the infirmary, while Jimin continued playing dodgeball on the field.

Whenever Jimin catches the ball, he throws it at the child who hit Sana hard.

If you throw it very hard, the ball bounces off and is delivered to the opponent.

???

"Ah!! Hey, Park Jimin. Seriously, what's wrong with you?"

???

What did I do wrong? Is it wrong to throw the ball hard at Sana?

박지민 image

박지민

"Heh, yeah. It's my fault."

박지민 image

박지민

Who told you to throw hard?

???

"....Hey... I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry.

???

Apologizing once, and getting hit by the ball—isn't that enough?

Jimin ran his hand through his hair, approached the child, and spoke.

박지민 image

박지민

Do you think it would end there?

After that, the child was beaten so badly that he went to the infirmary.

☆Jihoon's Point of View

It was a relief that Sana wasn't seriously injured.

I didn't want to leave that kid alone today, but it seems Park Jimin took care of it first.

Park Jimin is super fast..

I looked at Sana, and she seemed to be quietly reading. Even the way she reads... why is she so pretty?

At that time, Park Jimin went to Sana's seat.

It wasn't that far from Sana, so it was easy to hear.

박지민 image

박지민

Are you okay? What did the school nurse say?

사나 image

사나

"O-oh, Jimin! The school nurse didn't say anything either."

박지민 image

박지민

Oh, really? That's a relief.

박지민 image

박지민

"I found the kid who hit you and beat him up..."

사나 image

사나

"Huh?? What do you mean?"

사나 image

사나

Are you saying you beat him really hard?

박지민 image

박지민

"Yeah! I did well, right?"

Looking at Sana's expression, it was stiff. She didn't want this either.

박지민 image

박지민

"Why? Didn't I do the right thing?"

Park Jimin scratched the back of his head. Of course, from Sana's perspective, it wouldn't have been the right thing to do...

사나 image

사나

"Where is that kid?"

박지민 image

박지민

"O-what's wrong?"

사나 image

사나

".....Please stop doing that.. "

Sana suddenly stood up and went to find the child.

Left all alone, Park Jimin still scratches the back of his head.

Heh, that makes me feel better again.

The boring evening study session ended, and on the way home...

I'm taking Sana home, since it's the same road anyway.

사나 image

사나

"They should have made another path instead of here... Seriously..."

박지훈 image

박지훈

Right? It's really scary here. Are there even any CCTVs?

사나 image

사나

I don't think so. That's why I'm scared..

박지훈 image

박지훈

I'll give you rides a lot from now on.

If I take her home, Sana will be safe, and I'll feel at ease.

사나 image

사나

"...You really didn't have to do that! Thank you!"

사나 image

사나

Actually, I'm scared, so I go really fast when I go here,

사나 image

사나

"Right now... I don't feel anything at all!"

사나 image

사나

Because I have a reliable friend!

A reliable friend... suddenly I feel good.

사나 image

사나

"Don't ever fight like Park Jimin."

박지훈 image

박지훈

"O-uh? It's not like that~"

사나 image

사나

"Hahaha, if I see them fighting, I'll go over and break it up."

But, suddenly, something came to mind that I wanted to ask.

박지훈 image

박지훈

"Sana, do you like Park Jimin?"

사나 image

사나

" uh? "

Sanae was flustered... I could guess.

So you like it.

사나 image

사나

"No? Why would I like him?"

And, I feel relieved.

박지훈 image

박지훈

" okay? "

사나 image

사나

Seeing you ask this, do you have a crush on someone too?

박지훈 image

박지훈

"You know."

사나 image

사나

"Ah... I see. What does he look like?"

박지훈 image

박지훈

"Asking what I look like? Hahaha"

사나 image

사나

"N-no! Specifically... um... is it cute, or pretty...?"

박지훈 image

박지훈

It's cute, and pretty too.

박지훈 image

박지훈

And he has a kind heart.

It's you, you...

사나 image

사나

"Wow, really? When are you going to confess?"

사나 image

사나

Have you liked me for a long time?

박지훈 image

박지훈

"Hahaha, it's been a while.

사나 image

사나

"Is it someone in my class? Let me guess!"

We were laughing so hard as we walked along... it was so much fun. In the end, Sana couldn't guess who I liked until the very end.

박지훈 image

박지훈

"Hahaha, bye. Drive safely.

사나 image

사나

Yeah! You take care on your way too! See you tomorrow~

Pfft-

Wow, I'm so happy!

We chatted happily without being disturbed by anyone.

If only tomorrow were like today...
