담임선생님

반 아이들
Goodbye~~
문별이
Jihoon, please tell Yongseon I'm sorry and that I'll be late for practice because I have somewhere to stop by.
박지훈
huh..
박지훈
Make sure to contact me!
문별이
I'll do it if anything comes up. Definitely! Haha.
박지훈
[Even so, I'm worried..]
문별이
The back building of the school is here... did I come to the right place?
임나연
Yeah, it's good you came.
임나연
Get away from our Jihoon, you bastard.
문별이
[They hate me. 100% they really hate me]
문별이
Why me? (Cold)
박지효
Why else? Lol, it's because Park Jihoon belongs to Nayeon.
문별이
We're human beings, so what's "yours" and "mine"? lol
배수지
Don't act up, you sly fox.
배수지
(Kicks Byeol's stomach)
(Pow)
문별이
Ugh...
배수지
Does it hurt? Lol. Why are you making such a fuss over just this?
임나연
You were making Jihyo out to be such a total bitch earlier, please stop messing around~
임나연
Because it's disgusting
문별이
Disgusting...ugh...
문별이
Who do you think you are to call me disgusting?
배수지
I say it's disgusting because it's disgusting, you piece of trash.
배수지
dirty b****
At that moment, I remembered something from the past.
That guy who used to hit me and hated me... no, Dad
The words that always come out of that man's mouth
Trash
dirty
I used to hear that a lot when I was young, but am I still getting hurt by it...?
I remembered what Jihoon had said earlier in the school hallway.
I know that no one can be okay just because they are used to getting hit.
Now that I think about it, that's absolutely right.
No matter how much time passes, no matter how much I get hit
You can never get used to it or get okay.
임나연
Hey, why are you just standing there?
임나연
Try putting up a fight, even if it's just a struggle. Why are you just sitting there doing nothing? It's so boring.
(Pow)
임나연
Guys, let's get started properly.
임나연
Hit them everywhere except where it's obvious. Like the stomach or the upper legs.
배수지
ok
박지효
Got it lol
(Pow! Pow pow pow pow!!! Pow pow pow!!!)
He beats indiscriminately.
It hurts. Jihoon told me to contact him... but I can't muster the strength.
I'm sorry... Jihoon....
(After hitting for quite a while like that...)
임나연
Hey, this kid is gonna die lol
배수지
Take care of the blood yourself, you fox~~
박지효
Seriously, don't die. That way I can beat you up even more lol
(Leaves the back building)
문별이
Gasp....gasp....sob....
문별이
O... I... need to practice...
문별이
I... need to contact you...
문별이
Ugh...
문별이
I can get up... That's a relief.
문별이
If you hide it well, there won't be any problems.
문별이
Ugh...
문별이
hi..
황은비
Byeol-unnie? Why are you so late?
문별이
Ah... I was talking to someone...
김용선
What did you talk about to make you come back this late? (Worried)
문별이
It was nothing! Haha. Sorry, let's get started quickly.
최유나
okay
(Dancing)
문별이
Ugh...
황은비
Are you sick, older sister?
문별이
Huh? N... no, nothing...
황은비
.....Something's wrong, right? Tell me honestly.
황은비
We're going to keep working together in the future, so please trust the team and tell me quickly.
황은비
What's wrong?
How is this kid so quick-witted?
문별이
Uh... ha... no, nothing...
황은비
Ah, what is it!!!!
정은비
Ow... I was startled. Eunbi, why are you angry?
황은비
Ah... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get angry...
최유나
Why did you suddenly do that?
황은비
Byul-unnie... kept making moaning sounds while dancing...
황은비
I asked if something was wrong, but you didn't say anything, so I was sorry.
김용선
Really...? Byul, is something wrong?
문별이
No... nothing
김용선
Tell me, hurry up!! Just trust me. Can't you even tell a friend that much of a worry?
문별이
N..no..
김소정
What is it? Tell me quickly.
문별이
...I got hit
김용선
....what?
문별이
I got hit... by some kids
김용선
Who are those bastards?
문별이
Don't get angry...
김용선
Okay... so who is it?
문별이
....Im Na-yeon
문별이
Park Ji-hyo
문별이
Reservoir
최유나
If it's Im Na-yeon, Park Ji-hyo, and Bae Suzy... those bullies!?
최유나
They beat people up really badly, but they haven't been expelled yet because they have strong connections. I heard that if they had just handed down a punishment, they would have been expelled by now.
김용선
Let me see, aren't you hurt badly?
문별이
It's okay! Haha
김용선
You're moaning while dancing, so what's okay about that!!
문별이
.....
(Slightly exposes the injured area)
최유나
Eek!?!? You're so badly hurt...
(dripping)
김소정
who are you?
박지훈
Ah... I'm Park Ji-hoon from Team B. Do you not have a star?
김소정
No! I have one! Shall I call it for you?
박지훈
yes
김소정
Byul~ A guy named Park Ji-hoon from the men's Team B wants to call you.
문별이
huh..
문별이
Why did you come?
박지훈
I'm late... so let's go together... haha
문별이
Hmm... I get it!
문별이
Um... it's getting late, so can I go first?
황은비
Yes! Shall we go now, too?
모두
okay!
박지훈
Let's go heh
박지훈
.....You weren't hurt badly? They hit you, right?
문별이
Yeah... and...
박지훈
..?
문별이
Sorry..
박지훈
what?
문별이
Sob... sob....
박지훈
G...Why are you suddenly crying..!?!?(Confused x100)
문별이
Ugh... no... *Sob*...
문별이
So... *sob*..! It hurts so much... *sob*! I need to contact you... *sob*.. It hurts so much *sob*...
문별이
I... couldn't... put any strength into it... so I couldn't... contact... Hrrr...!
박지훈
.....
박지훈
How much... how many times was he beaten...
박지훈
It hurts a lot, doesn't it..?
박지훈
I'm sorry... for not being able to protect you...
문별이
No... *Sniff*!! Heh..^^
박지훈
The sight of Byul trying so hard to smile broke my heart.
박지훈
[What on earth did they live to say they are used to getting hit...]
박지훈
[Like someone who has never once cried freely, am I trying to laugh instead of crying as I please, despite feeling so miserable...]
박지훈
[My heart ached as if it were being torn apart.]
박지훈
I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..
박지훈
[I'm sorry I couldn't protect you..]
문별이
[For the first time, I was the first to confide my worries]
문별이
[I didn't want to cry, but Jihoon looked at me with such warm eyes...]
문별이
[Because you treated me so warmly... out of gratitude, the emotions I had been holding back until now leaked out.]
문별이
[If I didn't try not to cry here, I felt like I would cry as if my heart were going to burst.]
문별이
[So I tried to laugh more]
문별이
[Even so, Jihoon kept saying he was sorry.]
문별이
I liked that such a warm and gentle heart was directed toward me.
문별이
It felt like I had gained one more true ally besides my older sister and brother.
문별이
It seemed like a love too good for me, but just for this moment, I wanted to have it. That warm and gentle heart.
