Episode 77

I slightly furrowed my brow.

“Yu Baek-hwa… Tsk. I don’t know about Lee Chung-hye, but Yu Baek-hwa seems possible.”

Bullshit.

“Are these guys collectively insane? Don’t you know how fierce her temper is? Why, there was trouble from the very first day of the entrance ceremony.”

“Do you guys want to get hit by Yu Baek-hwa with a textbook, is that why you’re spouting this nonsense?”

They giggled among themselves as if the question I threw out jokingly was funny.

“And we’re saying Yu Baek-hwa is possible because it’s us, but from her perspective, would faces like ours even look human to her? Obviously her standards are going to be ridiculously high.”

“Why. What’s wrong with us.”

“Are you crazy, seriously.”

The giggling sounds continued again. I listened to those disgusting sounds with one ear while staggering and struggling to maintain my body’s balance.

No matter how much my body wasn’t following my mind right now, it was a hundred times better to push myself to move and suffer than to stay here longer and listen to such conversations. Just as I was about to take a step forward.

“She might accept it. Yu Baek-hwa seems to have something like emotional deprivation.”

Then I stopped abruptly.

“Emotional deprivation?”

“Yeah. I heard she grew up getting beaten like a dog at home.”

For a moment, it felt like I couldn’t breathe.

“This is why there was an incident last year too. That bastard was running his mouth openly, so Yu Baek-hwa just threw whatever she could get her hands on.”

“I heard it’s quite a well-off family. Wouldn’t such a family pamper a kid who looks as refined as Yu Baek-hwa even more?”

“Look at that temper. As if they could pamper her.”

The fishy voices continued without stopping.

“A kid like Yu Baek-hwa should be raised getting beaten. That way she’ll be able to live properly in society with that build.”

“But if she’s still in that state, does that mean the education didn’t work properly?”

“I heard both her mom and dad died a few years ago. Seems like they left before they could completely reform the kid.”

“Then they should dig up the grave and crawl back out. With their child looking like that.”

“Kek kek. That’s bullshit too, you bastard.”

A kid like me should be raised getting beaten. My personality or whatever needs to be reformed.

I chewed over those words that inevitably got stuck in my head.

“We just need someone to wield the rod, don’t we?”

“You bastard, you’re smart?”

“Ah, is it my turn to step up? Want me to show you my skills?”

I couldn’t even tell for certain whether what was boiling up inside me was miserable sadness or anger. With every minute and second of each day that passed, I habitually blamed the world and resented myself. Because of that, emotions mixed with anger had already become sickeningly familiar to me over the past few weeks.

‘…Let’s not react.’

It was right to leave the place quietly. What could I possibly do by charging at them according to my temper with this weak body? Moreover, those guys only knew how to throw low-grade jokes from behind; none of them would have the courage to step forward.

I struggled to turn my body and was about to turn away when I creaked to a stop.

“…Fuck.”

I quietly chewed on the curse I couldn’t hold back.

At a distance that seemed to be about ten steps, across the corridor, Kwon Tae-min was there. As I had already expected, he had been following me but stopped and was maintaining distance because I had suddenly stopped.

It didn’t matter whether Kwon Tae-min was following me around like he was monitoring me or not. But the moment I was played by the System’s power because of Kwon Tae-min alone shouldn’t be now, at least.

Because.

‘I want to kill them.’

I turned my staggering body around again and roughly threw open the door to the Computer Room with enough force to make a bang. I ignored the gazes that turned to look at me in surprise and strode in.

Soon I dragged over a chair that was scattered nearby, then lifted it high toward the male student who was closest.

I only hoped that my body, which hadn’t had a proper meal for several days, wouldn’t give out and collapse.

* * *

It was a clear case of violence. Simply having students fight with fists would be big enough trouble, but I had even used a weapon called a chair. It was on a different level from throwing pencil cases, writing instruments, or textbooks.

Naturally, the School became noisy. Especially the atmosphere in the Faculty Office where all the problem students were gathered was even more so.

“Is it right to keep the victim and perpetrator together? I’m scared to death, shouldn’t you separate them?”

The male student who had been struck in the abdomen with the chair shouted angrily, pointing at me. Seeing his upright appearance, it seemed the area where he was hit earlier was completely fine. I wondered whether I should consider this fortunate or unfortunate.

“Please definitely refer this to school violence! I’m really going to that bastard…!”

This time, the one who had been hit in one leg by the chair I swung raised his voice. I could see a dark bruise near his calf below his pants rolled up to the knee.

‘I guess it didn’t even break.’

I had swung a chair of all things, but they were far too intact for that.

‘If I was going to cause trouble anyway, I should have crushed them completely so they wouldn’t even have the strength to make such a fuss…’

If I had known this would happen, I should have forced myself to chew and swallow at least this morning’s and lunch’s meals. Regret bloomed belatedly and I swallowed a sigh. Of course, not even a fingernail’s worth of guilt existed.

I just relaxed languidly, pulled both knees up onto the simple chair and curled up my body. I was just blinking my eyes hoping for this terrible time to pass, when suddenly a cautious shadow fell over me.

“…Baek-hwa.”

It was our Class’s School Teacher. When our eyes met, he smiled awkwardly.

“Don’t you have anything to say?”

“…”

“You wouldn’t have used violence without any reason… and swinging a chair at that.”

This was the first time I had been asked such a question by a teacher.

Was he trying to give me a chance to make excuses? Or did he really think I had some reason worth considering?

I slowly straightened my bent knees. I rubbed my stiff eyes roughly, then opened my mouth.

“There’s no reason. I’ll accept the disciplinary action.”

“Yu Baek-hwa, this won’t end with just School service like last year…”

“I don’t care.”

At this point, everything became meaningless. If the novel truly never ended like this, my remaining school life would be completely ruined anyway. In such circumstances, would disciplinary action or my school record even matter?

I was just tired. I wanted to quickly resolve this situation and go Home to bury myself in bed.

“…I’ll let you know when the disciplinary committee date is set.”

I let the teacher’s quietly informing voice flow past me.

“This time your guardian will also attend.”

My blank gaze trembled with a start. I couldn’t believe it and just moved my mouth, then belatedly raised my head abruptly and stared at the School Teacher.

“Why… why? There was nothing like that last year.”

“Guardian attendance at the disciplinary committee isn’t mandatory.”

But why. When I gave him such a look, the teacher added.

“I contacted your Older Brother, and he said he’d come to Korea right away.”

“…What?”

Older Brother is coming? To Korea?

‘In this damn situation, Older Brother is coming too?’

My head spun. It was already overwhelming just dealing with that System bastard, and now I had to see Older Brother’s face too…

My tightly closed lips turned pale and trembled.

No more, no less, I felt like I was going to go crazy.

* * *

I was moved to the isolated space of the Counseling Room as if I was being quarantined. I didn’t know if it was because of me or because of the opposing students who were making such a fuss.

The School Nurse there spoke to me tirelessly. It was the same no matter how uncooperative an attitude I showed. However, only after seeing me suddenly get up during our conversation and run to the Restroom did the School Nurse leave the Counseling Room, telling me to rest comfortably.

Only then was everything around me dyed in stable quietness. The other students were in the middle of class, so it wasn’t noisy either.

I let out a languid breath and collapsed onto the desk. I rubbed my forehead against the cool chill, then heavily pulled down my eyelids that had been struggling to stay open.

I didn’t want to think about anything. If it had been possible, I would have immediately cut my head in half and pulled out the brain inside.

─A kid like Yu Baek-hwa should be raised getting beaten. That way she’ll be able to live properly in society with that build.

“…Bullshit.”

At the memory that surfaced again, I irritably muttered a curse.
