"I'm back."
bang-
The sound of the door closing was quite loud. "I've just walked into the dark house," he said, taking off his shoes.
아빠
Did you do well on your test?
"yes."
아빠
You know you shouldn't think of it as being like elementary school.
아빠
Don't be too proud.
아빠
Because there are still so many kids above you.
"yes."
It was too cold a comment for a first-year middle school student who hadn't even finished his first midterm exam yet.
Nevertheless, he sat down at his desk, taking out his textbook, and nodded as if it were a natural thing to do.
Go Yoon-soo | 2/238
Yunsu couldn't help but be angry after receiving his report card.
I thought I would be first, but no one has ever been better than me.
It was the first time I missed first place.
전정국
Hey, did you see that?
전정국
First place, right? Huh?
Jeon Jungkook | 1/238
김태형
Wow wow...!!!!!
김태형
Wow!!!! Crazy!!!
김태형
Guys!!! Jeon Jungkook is top of the whole school!!! Crazy!!!
김태형
My friend is the top student in the whole school!!!
김여주
Kim Taehyung, be quietㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
김여주
Are you screaming? Lol
김여주
If someone saw you, they'd think you were number one...
김태형
Wow, heroine, this is amazing.
김태형
I've never seen anyone around me so good at studying.
김태형
As expected, 27 years is no ordinary time.
김여주
?
김여주
27 years? What does that mean?
김태형
Yeah, he looks like he's 27 years old.
김태형
Old man. Mister.
전정국
What did you say?
전정국
I want to be right. You've been treated less like a brat lately.
김태형
Aaahh ...
김태형
People of the world, here the top student in the school is hitting someone!!
전정국
You crazy bastardㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
고윤수
......
The first person to defeat him was none other than Jeon Jungkook, who had been chattering behind his back during study time. Yoonsoo clenched his fist until his hand bled.
He studied for hours a day, only to be handed first place by a kid like that. Yunsoo's pride simply couldn't allow it.
김태형
Hey, but if you're the top student in the whole school,
김태형
You beat Yunsu...? You...?
전정국
You're asking the obvious.
전정국
I'm the one who entered the university as the top student.
전정국
Honestly, if you look at the amount of studying
전정국
I'm probably several times more than Yunsu.
전정국
I knew I would win.
전정국
I had such a hard time while studying for the college entrance exam.
김태형
Oh... cool...
김태형
Oh, just sleep.
김태형
So, did Yeoju also go to Yonsei University...?
전정국
huh.
김태형
I didn't take the Yeoju exam...?
전정국
What's so great about one middle school exam?
전정국
Even if you are last in your school now, if you work hard in high school, you can still get into a good university.
김태형
They say you have to study hard in middle school...
전정국
Let's just stop talking.
전정국
What would I talk about with a middle school freshman?
김태형
???? Are you making disparaging remarks about middle school students right now?
전정국
It doesn't make sense, you know!
전정국
I said that you don't have to study in middle school is nonsense. When did I say that you can't go to college if you don't study in middle school?
전정국
Oh my, oh my. How many points did you get on your Korean test?
김태형
Why do you ask that? Are you ignoring people because of your studies?
전정국
With your level of understanding, I expect you to score 67 points.
김태형
Sorry, but it's 68 points. Could you please not deduct one point?
김여주
Hey, you guys are fighting again?
김여주
Stop fighting! I can't stand it while you're walking to the store...
김태형
No, heroine...
김태형
He kept telling me that I wasn't good at studying...
김여주
Hey Jeon Jungkook. Did you say anything rude to Taehyung?
전정국
......
전정국
I even got scolded by a middle school student...
전정국
My life...
김여주
Don't do that to Taehyung!
전정국
Yes yes... elementary school student...
김여주
Hey, if I'm an elementary school student, you're a yuding student lol
김여주
Don't you know that you are the most childish thing?
전정국
If I'm Yuding, you're in your mother's womb!
김태형
......
김태형
So this is how the female protagonist felt when Jeon Jungkook and I fought.
고윤수
......
고윤수
You're playing again.
고윤수
F*ck really..
Pak-
고윤수
I was wrong.
Pak-
고윤수
father...
Although he told his father that he was wrong several times, he repeatedly hit Yunsu as if he didn't hear him.
고윤수
Father...
His eyes welled up, then suddenly fell. Seeing Yunsu crying, his father beat him even harder.
고윤수
During the final exam... I will definitely get first place, okay?
고윤수
I was wrong...
Only after being hit hundreds of times and the flesh on my calves being torn apart did my father open his mouth.
아빠
I told you not to be proud.
아빠
Don't disappoint your father.
고윤수
Yes... I was wrong...
It wasn't the pain of torn flesh from being hit so many times that made me cry. It was anger at myself.
And it was anger towards Jeon Jungkook, who seemed to have not put in as much effort as he did.
Yunsu shed a few tears in his room.
If you just suppress your emotions, you won't be able to concentrate on your studies.
Just to the point where tears don't soak your clothes and interfere with your studies.
I cried.
