#5 Prelude to War
07:46 PM
김민주
Hyunwoo, I'm okay
박현우
If anything happens, just tell me right away, okay?
김민주
huh!
박현우
Go in quickly and rest
김민주
Yeah, see you tomorrow~
The next day, I put on my school uniform and went to school.
07:50 AM
Yuri and Yena were walking in front.
박현우
Hey guys!
최예나
hi!
조유리
Good morning~
박현우
Huh? Minju? Haven't you seen it?
최예나
Huh? I haven't seen it!
조유리
I haven't seen it either?
박현우
Have you already gone to school..?
08:30 AM
It's time for the inspection.
담임선생님
So, Minju is sick today and can't come? Just call her and ask if she's okay, okay?
반아이들
yes!
08:47 AM
After the roll call, it was time to prepare for the first period.
최예나
Minju is sick? I wonder if she'll be okay...
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn't seem like it was because I was sick. I ended up going to the third-grade classroom.
김채원
Hey! What are you?
박현우
Be quiet
김채원
What? That's ridiculous?
I felt like yesterday's events had ruined my quiet school life. I headed straight to Kim Seon-woo's seat.
He opened the door, went in, and lightly tapped Kim Seon-woo's desk.
박현우
Hey, tell your girlfriend to apologize quickly.
김선우
What? Are you crazy? Why does Eunbi have to apologize?
I kicked Kim Seon-woo's desk. It flew far away.
박현우
Are you trying to do it? Just apologize, why don't you do it?
김선우
If you were me, would you apologize when your juniors nag at your senior? Honestly, I don't like that girl named Kim Min-ju.
박현우
This bird
He threw a powerful punch at Kim Seon-woo's right cheek.
Kim Seon-woo didn't move an inch. Then the bell rang.
3학년반아이들
Hey Seonwoo, the bell has rung. Hold on.
김선우
Go, I've rung the bell
권은비
Sunwoo! Let's go out and play, okay? What are you?
Just as I was about to step back and leave, Kwon Eun-bi appeared in front of me. I ignored her and headed towards my class.
08:58 AM
I decided to go see Minju right before class started.
09:36 AM
I came in front of the Democratic House.
박현우
It's a bit awkward to call it that...
I made a phone call.
박현우
hello?
김민주
huh..
박현우
Minju, why didn't you come to school?
김민주
Ah... I feel a little sick...
박현우
Are you in a lot of pain?
김민주
It's nothing..
박현우
Actually, I'm in front of your house
김민주
Oh? Really? I'll go out now.
박현우
No, if it's okay, then go for it
김민주
No, wait
박현우
Okay, I'll wait.
I think about 5 minutes passed.
Democracy came out.
박현우
Are you here? Should we go to a cafe?
김민주
huh
We headed to a two-story Starbucks nearby.
10:52 AM
We ordered my favorite iced cafe mocha, Minju green tea smoothie pearls with 100% sugar.
We sat at the very end of the second floor, by the window.
박현우
Aren't you going to school?
김민주
I have to go to school
박현우
when?
김민주
If it gets better!
At that moment, a KakaoTalk message rang on my phone.
박현우
Huh? I got a text from Yena.
김민주
Yena?
박현우
huh!
최예나
Hyunwoo! We're in big trouble! Kim Seonwoo is taking the kids from his class and beating them up.
박현우
Kim Seon-woo...
김민주
What's going on?
박현우
Oh no, Minju, I have something to do, so I'll go first. I'll be back in the evening, so rest at home.
김민주
What's going on?
박현우
It's nothing special
I left the cafe straight away and went to school.
11:57 AM
I went to the warehouse behind the school.
As expected, Kim Seon-woo was still hitting the kids in our class.
조유리
Hey! Stop it!
Yuri and Yena were there too.
박현우
hey!
Half the children have already been beaten so much that they have all collapsed.
박현우
What are you doing?
김선우
Am I doing the same thing you did?
박현우
Ha.. Let's just fight. What's the kids' fault?
김선우
Me? Why? Why should I do that?
최예나
Stop it... please...
박현우
Are you scared?
김선우
Are you scared? (Laughing) Not at all?
박현우
Then let's just fight
김선우
Fight me, brother, try it
박현우
This bastard is real!
I ran and punched Kim Seon-woo in the stomach and used my legs to hit both arms.
김선우
What is this? A water fist?
김선우
Let's give it a try
I was caught off guard, unable to dodge Kim Seon-woo's flying punch, and was hit squarely in the groin area. And then, before I knew it, I fell to the ground.
