Seventeen on the truck

2. 200 Rebels

오전 7:30

“Good morning, students.”

“As of now, all students are requested to report to their assigned classes by 7:50.”

“If you are even slightly late, we will put it on the checklist.”

“If the checklist is checked three times, a personal consultation will be provided.”

I couldn't help but sigh at the sound of machinery I heard from the morning.

I got up with a heavy heart, thinking that not only me, but other children must be feeling this way too.

Now that everything is restricted, even the smallest open window is something to be thankful for.

…..

It's a morning with heavy rain pouring down.

As I passed through the hallway, there were mountains of faces that didn't look very good at all.

Some children cried quietly, but no one paid any attention.

We have no choice but to accept a society that has already changed.

Soon after, the teacher in charge and the robots started coming in one after another.

The moment the teacher was about to speak, the children's eyes darkened even more.

Someone started causing a ruckus.

Damn, seriously, the more I think about it, the more absurd it becomes. I can't stand it.

하새벽

Who are you to lock us up and make a fuss?

하새벽

Is this what that great brain of yours came up with?

하새벽

Confinement education, for those of us who can't adapt.

하새벽

…are you really crazy?

The children who had been lying face down at the sudden commotion straightened up and looked in that direction.

The computers were tangled up in a mess of fallen corn.

The girl approached the teacher, her eyes wide and filled with anger as she spoke, tears welling up in her eyes and seeming ready to fall at any moment.

“….”

“…200 students, please return to your seats.”

하새벽

…Shut up

하새벽

Look at the kids' faces, don't you feel any pangs of conscience?

“If you don’t go back now, I’ll drag you to the private training room.”

“This is a final warning for students.”

하새벽

…..

He's saying this because it's for me (mumbles)

The girl named Ha Sae-byeok gritted her teeth and returned to her seat.

The children, who had been quiet about the events that had passed in an instant, began to whisper.

I watched that kid who was lying face down throughout the class.

Unlike me who had to obey every command, the appearance of that child who fits the title of rebel perfectly

It was so new to me.

While watching, I made excuses for the child in my mind.

Rebel number 200.
