Episode 118. Obtaining Results (10)

“Hey! You heard the rumor?”
“What?”
“Apparently Su-kang pulled a knife at the Golf Driving Range yesterday evening.”
“Really? At a golf range? Why?”
“A second-year outcast was taking golf lessons at that time.”
“So what?”
“He got beaten up by that outcast and ended up being dragged away by the police.”
“Is that even possible here at our school?”
“I always knew Su-kang was crazy, but… he’s completely lost it.”

Murmur, murmur.

The classroom of Class 1, Grade 3 — normally so silent you could hear a pin drop.

The shocking incident had thrown it into chaos since morning.

Snap.

At the front desk, Kang Jun-woo’s hand, which had been solving a math problem, stilled.

The details of the incident hadn’t fully registered yet.

‘…That lunatic.’

Fury toward Yi Jang-yong surged in an instant.

A petty man who had lorded himself over the students on nothing but his math ability.

Cast out from school, and now it seemed he’d lost his mind completely.

He’d actually drawn a blade against someone Kang Jun-woo had chosen as a friend.

Unforgivable.

He steeled himself to ask his mother for something far more brutal in response.

“An emergency parent meeting was called because of that incident.”
“Of course. A knife incident at Cheonghwa — that’s unheard of.”
“Today’s going to be chaos.”
“Heh. I heard they called in that outcast and the pro golfer too.”
“Why those two?”
“Who knows.”

At the end of the sentence, their gaze quietly shifted toward Kang Jun-woo.

“…”

As if by arrangement, everyone fell silent.

That afternoon before the attempted murder incident.
Among the Management Research Society members — scattered across Kakao Talk in the students’ chat groups — there had been events.

Ha Tae-ung’s trillion-won-scale assets had been confirmed after he accepted the vice president position.

Yi Jeong-jun, the Parent Association President’s son, had objected on the spot, and Kang Jun-woo had removed him.

The Parent Association President, by calling an emergency meeting today, was likely trying to use the Management Research Society incident as a pretext to entangle Ha Tae-ung in the attempted murder case.

Snap.

Kang Jun-woo’s mechanical pencil broke in his hand as his thoughts multiplied.

Whoosh.

Immediately, Kang Jun-woo reached for his smartphone.

Click.

He pressed a speed-dial number.

Beep-beep-beep.

The call tone rang briefly.

-Oh, my son. What’s the matter so early in the morning?

Go Mi-hee, the representative of Il Sung Hotel, answered her son’s call cheerfully.

“Are you busy?”
-No, why? Is something wrong?
“I’d like you to come to school.”
-Now?
“Yes.”
-Got it. I’ll head over right away.

Go Mi-hee didn’t ask twice.
Nothing was more important to her than her son’s affairs.

“I’ll send you the details by text.”

Kang Jun-woo’s tone was calm yet cold.

The call ended quickly.

“…”

Class 1, Grade 3, which had been watching the call, sank into an even deeper silence.

No one had expected Kang Jun-woo to call his mother.

“I’ve been too well-behaved lately, haven’t I?”

Seated at the front desk, his weighty message to the class broke the silence.

All the students who’d been murmuring moments before promptly buried their heads in their desks.

This was a true war between Royal Families.

In times like these, the only way to survive was to keep your mouth shut and just breathe.

“You all understand why I called this meeting, yes?”

The Parent Association Meeting Room in the new wing of Cheonghwa High School.

The view of the school grounds outside was perfectly visible from here.

A long twenty-seat table occupied the classroom-sized space.

At the center of the table, in the seat of honor, sat Ju Mi-ju, the Parent Association President.

Executive board members filled the seats on either side.

The atmosphere was closer to a corporate meeting than a parent association gathering.

The parent association was composed entirely of mothers.

Not a single father was present.

Among them, Ju Mi-ju commanded an overwhelming presence.

Society circulated vicious rumors about her, but within the Cheonghwa parent association, it was different.

Group hierarchy was power hierarchy.

Even the director of the Cheonghwa Group came up short against Ju Mi-ju — that was the reality.

Her position as a direct member of the Korean Group determined this, even for a woman.

The vice president position on the board was currently vacant.

Yi Gyeong-ja, the general secretary, looked toward Ju Mi-ju with an anxious gaze.

There was an ominous feeling in the air — something was about to break.

Ju Mi-ju’s eyes gleamed with barely concealed malice.

Among the upper circles, she was known as “Misery” Ju Mi-ju.

“Yes…”
“A knife incident at a school, of all places…”
“We need to lodge a strong protest with the board using our authority as parents.”

The dozen or so parents present, in their capacity as executive members, raised their voices in indignation.

More pressing than an attempted murder incident?

“A cause?”
“…??”

“…!!”

“A, a secret romance?”
“Really, is that true?”

That’s why even the director deferred to it.

The head of academic affairs and two others — a man and a woman.

Ha Tae-ung stood rigid, his gaze fixed quietly on her.

“What, what did you say…??”
