Chapter 3

2. School

“Oh, I didn’t know you were in the same class. I’m sorry about yesterday. It was really loud, right?”

Jong-hyuk talked to me first to get rid of the awkwardness.

Come on, man, this is a way of talking.

It is a habit that has been created because there are many cases to deal with civil servants.

Kim So-young, a girl whose eyes were wide open at Jong-hyuk’s honorifics, shook her head.

“No, I reported it right away and it got better quickly.”

Jong-hyuk’s eyes shone.

“Did you report it? What time? How?”

“Right after you ran away like that. Oh, I didn’t tell you you crossed the wall of my house!”

“Oh, I’ll tell you.”

In 1997, there were no CCTVs or black boxes that were too common in the future.

Still, there is evidence in the 112 situation room. Evidence to blow up the bad guys.

‘If you’re guilty, you’re punished.’

It was very natural logic for him, a detective.

Jong-hyuk smiled softly.

“Anyway, good job. You must have been scared, but you acted bravely.”

Jong-hyuk patted his head habitually and then banged it.

“Oh, sorry.”

“Yes, be careful from now on. How’s your head?”

“It’s okay.”

“Well…… yes.”

The nodding girl, Kim So-young, headed to her seat and Jong-hyuk laughed.

“He’s got a lot of confidence.”

Sitting down, Jong-hyuk pulled out a practice book from his desk drawer and recorded evidence, or reports, just now.

I had to record this before I forgot. It was a habit.

“By the way, what kind of note is this…….”

A practice room with Korean, math, English, graffiti, etc. all at once. There is only one pen for writing.

At this time, the shame of “I didn’t study much” came to me.

Police or law school at Hankuk University.

I had to study hard from now on to get there.

Then his ears heard a faint song.

There was something that caught the eye of Jong-hyuk who turned his head.

White earphones stuck in Kim So-young’s ear and a square box on her desk.

“My my?”

The large SONY written on it seemed genuine.

“Ka-!”

A memory came to mind in Jong-hyuk’s head.

My Mai, Walkman, who I envied at this time.

Maybe that’s why I bought it as soon as I became a police officer when I was 20. The real one is too expensive. It’s fake.

When everyone else carried a CD player or an MP3 player, he carried MyMai.

But it broke down in three months and threw it away.

“As expected, it was a good house.….”

At that time, Maimai was the exclusive property of children living above the middle class.

At that moment, he thought of something and approached So-young.

“Hey, student. No, Soyoung.”

When So-young took off her earphones and looked at her wonderfully, Jong-hyuk pointed to My Mai.

“Does it have a recording function?”

Jong-hyuk’s eyes began to shine.

Boom!

“Student supervisor.”

Park Kang-pil, 52, head of bald students, wondered about the expression of Shin Sung-gil.

“What’s wrong, Shin?”

“Are you going to keep an eye on those thugs?”

“…the bullies?”

“Yes, you thugs! What are you doing when you’re a student supervisor and you don’t want to lead those guys? Are you stealing your salary?”

The student director’s face hardened, and the teachers who were preparing for the class freaked out.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but be polite. What rude thing to do when all the teachers are here!”

If Shin Sung-gil was a regular teacher, not a judo coach, his desire would have gone away.

“Polite is what you take when you’re done!”

“What?! How old are you?”

Shin Sung-gil saw the principal.

“Principal! What did you say when you brought me in? Just pay attention to getting the kids to exercise. I won’t care about anything else. You did!”

The principal’s face hardened.

“What’s going on?”

“What’s the matter? A valuable player from Dongil High School got hurt because someone didn’t do their job! I got 25 stitches in my hair! How did I soothe him and bring him back?”

Jong-hyuk is a real unlimited player that is not common in Korea.

It wasn’t just fattening, it was muscly timber, and competition was very fierce.

It’s a headache trying to solve it only by force of the natural body, but it was a matter of fixing it gradually.

“I’ve swung the ankle to dry the pings! Ten people! Is this what a student would do? I can’t be supervised in a place like this! I’d rather take all the kids to another school!”

Shin Sung-gil, a master of winning at least one national medal every year.

The principal had to be in a hurry.

“Oh, my God, director Shin. Let’s talk for a second.”

He grabbed Shin Sung-gil’s arm and glared at the student leader.

“Catch them all before class one, whether it’s a school gate or a dog. Do you understand?”

The student director’s face is distorted.

“Yes.”

‘You bastards!’ the student director gritted his teeth.

Meanwhile, the skipper of the judo department contacted Kim Kang-heon, the leader of the bully.

“Hey, you son of a bitch! I told you not to. Shall we have a real war? Do you want to be hospitalized like last time? Huh?!”

It was a moment when a group of bullies who used to go to school like the world did.

* * *

“Okay, perfect.”

There’s no room for planning. He can even bet his 26-year career as a criminal.

It was time to cover the notebook like that.

“The fence is up!”

It’s a mess!

The students sat down, and Jong-hyuk straightened his posture.

Boom! Boom)

“Come on, come on, sit down!”

It’s 8:55.

The homeroom teacher, who opened the front door of the classroom later than usual, saw Jong-hyuk and kicked his tongue, and Jong-hyuk wondered.

“Attention! Salute!”

“Hello!”

“Yes, hello. You know we have a quiz tomorrow, right?”

“Ouch!”

Jong-hyuk’s eyes also opened wide.

“Oh, I did. By the way.”

Dongil High School is a prestigious judo school and is quite famous for studying.

Maybe that’s why I take a quiz every two weeks.

That’s why I’ve been in a lot of trouble since I quit the judo team.

Choi Jong-hyuk, not a judo player, was just a student, and his grades were everything.

So I studied hard since I was 19 years old when I stopped wandering, and I learned one thing.

That you’re very smart. Otherwise, a former constable could not have been a constable at the age of 48.

In general, the limitation of a police officer is the lieutenant, which is also given as a courtesy before retirement.

A brilliant brain.

Nevertheless, he could only be a police officer because his rivals were former police officers.

Officers from the police force who are promoted to only 2 or 3 even if Jong-hyuk achieves 10 performance.

Before the regression, he used to apply as a policeman in a hurry to make ends meet, but he used to blame himself for having to go to the police force even if he retook the exam later.

I didn’t mean to repeat the same regret.

“Listen to today’s class, don’t doze off! Captain!”

“Attention! Salute!”

“Good-bye!”

Jong-hyuk glanced this way and narrowed his brows to the appearance of the homeroom teacher leaving.

“You’re not saying anything.”

The student in the class is wearing a bandage on his head, but he doesn’t say a word. I had no choice but to wonder.

Jong-hyuk, who was tilting his head, soon recalled the image of a homeroom teacher who was kicking his tongue when he.

“You’re treated like a bunch of bullies……that’s a possibility.”

The athletic team has an image of being ignorant and hot-tempered.

It’s very unfair, but it’s true that it’s ignorant at least in the same high school.

Among the sports teams, there are many people who cannot write their names in Chinese or English.

Furthermore, he has often been at odds with his classmates since middle school.

It’s because they couldn’t stand injustice, but they ended up in the same category because they repeated it.

Then I could take what happened today as just whining that the same guy was hit.

“Well, I’ll have to change the bottom first.”

You’re going to top the school with this image?

Suspicions of cheating arise unconditionally. It’s a story that even my partner who is snoring next to snore next to me.

Can also won’t protect the director then sinseonggil.

Even if the suspicions were resolved by retesting, the eyes of surveillance would continue to be on it.

In the next month and a half, Jong-hyuk decided to change his image by taking three quiz sessions.

First of all, he is a smart sportsman.’

The duty of a student is to study after all. Anything is forgiven if you study well.

It was all the more so in these days.

The prejudice that you can’t be a bully when you’re good at studying.

It is still a time when one cannot distinguish one’s personality from studying.

“Then, let’s aim for the top of the school.’

Jong-hyuk made plans for school life.

Boom! Boom!

Two boys, who had their pants shrugged in.

The two whose thighs are not red and black.

All the classmates shut up.

The two, who found Jong-hyuk in a tantrum, gritted their teeth.

“Coward, tell the teacher how many times you’ve been hit and tell the seniors?”

‘Aha.’ It was only then that Jong-hyuk figured it out.

Director Shin Sung-gil turned over the teachers’ office and seemed to have moved.

“It’s fast.”

“Scaredy-cat.”

Jong-hyuk was dumbfounded.

“The cowardly and cowardly ones are all of you who have come together to beat one. Can’t you see this? You guys almost killed someone, you know?”

“Why didn’t you just go through it.”

Jong-hyuk blinked his eyes.

‘These bastards are hopeless.’

Then you didn’t have to treat me as a student.

Jong-hyuk pulled him by the collar.

“Ugh!!”

“Hey.”

Goosebumps.

At the moment, I got goosebumps riding on the backs of the bullies.

Ice-cold as ice-cold.

The moment I met that gaze, I was suffocated as if I were trapped in a lion cage.

“What would have happened if I hadn’t been so early? Do you really think I did this because I was scared of your pups? Huh?

……Gulp!

Jong-hyuk felt the heat that had boiled down in his eyes shaking like an aspen tree.

What are you doing with the reins?

Jong-hyuk unclogged and pushed.

“Ugh!”

“Don’t take it out on your own cowardice. You can fold it completely.”

The bullies were upset, but they couldn’t argue. It was true, and that’s why I got hit.

And during lunch time, I had to be hit by the 3rd graders. I was hit by a teacher, but there was almost a war with the judo department.

Tears welled up in the eyes of the seniors who were grinding their teeth and just remembered the eyes of Jong-hyuk.

“…cruel.”

They turned around, and the foot-smiling Jong-hyuk shouted loudly against his back.

“Last warning, if you rip and hit the kids one more time, they’ll kill you!”

‘And don’t think this is it!’ There have been too many children to end up here.

Bang!

“What are you looking at, shit!”

Jong-hyuk snorted as the bullies kicked the desk out.

a bully strong only against the weak

They didn’t deserve to be angry. It was funny that these people were the object of fear.

“Huh?”

Students who looked at Jong-hyuk with envious eyes quickly turned away, and the classroom soon became noisy.

Jong-hyuk, who smirked at the lightened atmosphere of the classroom, soon took out his first class textbook and started reading it from the beginning.

“Yeah, you guys should keep your shoulders straight from now on.”….’

“Hm?”

While reading the book, Jong-hyuk tilted his head to his side.

“It’s easy.”

Something was easy.

I understood it quickly, and I even memorized it.

“…It’s really easy.”

In 1997, the quality of education was lower than that of the 21st century, but it was strange.

I heard your brain is the most lively teenager ever!’

“Cough, I’ll smoke a little.”

Tobacco that I started to learn at the end of my career.

I opened 3 packs a day in less than a month.

“So you had your brain pickled with nicotine, and you passed the damn promotion test with your defective head at once?”

It felt like the police force and the law school of Korea University were just around the corner.

Jong-hyuk, who burst out laughing in vain, shone his eyes, and Kim So-young stared at such Jong-hyuk.

* * *

You’re not sleeping?

Instead of not sleeping, he is not spacing out, but taking notes with burning eyes.

With a blink of an eye, I could clearly see him concentrating as if he were in trouble.

He’s so passionate that it gives me goosebumps.

His back was upright and upright.

I thought director Shin Sung-gil was a great guy to turn the teacher’s office upside down since morning, but he was a diligent student who knew how to study even though he was an athlete.

I think I slept before.Was it because the exercise was hard?

Iljin and the sports team, who would rather sleep.

The hardened prejudice began to crack.

Maybe because Jong-hyuk, who used to sleep every day, concentrated, other students seemed to concentrate on the class as well.

Huh.

Teachers were quite happy to see the change.

“You bully shakids.”

It was a moment when I hated the bullies who hurt such a sincere student.

On the other hand, Jong-hyuk was thrilled by the class, which was too easily understood.

‘Even though it’s more of a review. It’s working.

The police force and the law school of Korea University are really close.

That’s how it came to lunch.

From 1st to 4th period, Jong-hyuk, who looked at the class, moved.

“Park Su-ho?”

Jong-hyuk squatted and made eye contact.

“Huh? Uh-huh.

The short, dwarf boy is stiff.

Students who were taking out their lunch boxes stopped and looked at the two.

“Can you tell me the scope of tomorrow’s quiz? If you lend me your notebook, I’ll buy you tteokbokki and fried food.”

“……Huh?”

Park Soo-ho, who was scared when Jong-hyuk, who was less scared than the bullies, called his name, blinked.

It was the same for other students watching.

Test range?

“He’s studying?

I studied during the break earlier.….’

It was as shocking as Jesus recited the Buddhist scriptures.

But that was also for a while.

Park Soo-ho swallowed his mouth water.

You’ll be hungry when you turn around. It was a huge business if I taught him for a while and got tteokbokki and fried food.

In addition, it wasn’t that scary because Jong-hyuk was hurt while he was working for the children who were being ripped off.

To be honest, I wanted to be close.

“I understand….”

“Me!”

The children’s eyes turned to Kim So-young.

“I’ll let you know!”

For some reason, her eyes were sparkling.

Jong-hyuk looked at So-young with suspicious eyes.

It’s not just because of tteokbokki and fried food. That’s what the detective’s hunch was saying.

“You? What’s your rank?”

“I’m 20th!”

Jong-hyuk saw Park Soo-ho again.

“Not tteokbokki, fried food, but soondae and kimbap…”….”

“I’m 20th in school! Second place in class!”

“…is that right?

“Yes, Soyoung. She’s the second in our class. I’m 25th in my class.”

I didn’t know that.

Park Soo-ho, who was alone, unlike other kids in groups of breaks.

The ostracism of the children was captured by a bully.

There were two more such students in this class with 43 students besides Park Soo-ho.

Children needed for the work of Jong-hyuk.

So I approached, and things were going well.

‘A woman…’

Policewoman is the one who opens the mouths of women and bullying students as same-sex or as a sister or mother.

The corners of Jong-hyuk’s mouth are slightly raised.

“Too smart is a bit of a burden.….”

Soyoung’s eyebrows wriggled.

“Buy me two servings of tteokbokki and fried food, and I’ll tell you the expected problem!”

Park Soo-ho’s eyebrows wriggled this time.

I have a chance to get close to Jong-hyuk and I’m going to fly in vain.

He plucked up his courage for the first time.

“Me, I’ll just need one serving of tteokbokki and fried food. I can tell you everything!”

Screeching!

“Mr. Lee! Only 25th place can teach you well?””

“Yee, there is! And what Jong-hyuk needs now is someone who can teach him the basics at a similar level. Oh, maybe not?”

“Oooh! ….Good! Then one serving of tteokbokki!

“One drink!”

“Hey!”

“Give up! I’ll be your friend!”

Jong-hyuk managed to hold back his laughter at the sight of the two holding their fists.

“Oh, my. Cute things. It’s green, isn’t it?

“Okay, I’ll buy you both as much as you want, so teach me properly. Suho, you’re the foundation, Soyoung is the expected problem. Okay?”

The two looked unhappy and nodded.

The power of tteokbokki and fried food was too great to bend my pride.

“Okay, then let’s go to the snack bar in front of the school!”
