Episode 120. Obtaining Results (12)

“Did Kang Jun-woo’s mom really come?”
“Yeah, it’s Go Mi-hee.”
“Why?”
“Isn’t it because of yesterday’s incident?”

The third-year classrooms in the new building were in absolute chaos, as if someone had stirred up a hornet’s nest.

Class 1 was silent as the grave, thanks to Kang Jun-woo’s declaration.

Meanwhile, the other classes were utterly raucous.

Following yesterday’s sashimi charge incident with Yi Jang-yong, an emergency parent meeting had been called.

The former Parent Association President—Kang Jun-woo’s mother and Go Mi-hee, direct descendant of Il-seong Group—had appeared at the school.

A rare sight.

“They say Ha Tae-ung and Teacher An Hyeon-ju were called in too?”
“Why??”
“I’m not sure either…….”
“Jun-woo tore into Yi Jeong-jun, didn’t he?”
“Ah!”
“If it’s Ju-mi-ju…….”
“But why would Go Mi-hee come?”

These were children who had learned upper-class politics from childhood.

Each offered their own theory.

Yet none of them arrived at a satisfying answer.

‘The kid caused a mess, and his mom’s getting dragged into it.’

Jang Ji-yu, sitting at the back of the classroom, quietly pieced together what had happened.

Yi Jeong-jun, who didn’t know his place, gazing at her.

Even if her father pushed, she had no intention of becoming part of that household.

Yesterday, Ha Tae-ung had thrashed Yi Jeong-jun thoroughly.

With Kang Jun-woo joining in, they’d chased him away.

‘Ha Tae-ung’s assets…… over one trillion won. How could anyone do anything to him? It’s laughable.’

In a capitalist society, money is power.

His Coin Revenue alone, separate from Haryun Group bloodline, exceeded one trillion won.

Someone cast aside by Korean Group—a person like that woman—was no match for him.

‘And Kang Jun-woo…….’

Kang Jun-woo seemed genuinely committed to supporting Ha Tae-ung.

Jang Ji-yu had never seen him like this before.

At this moment, Go Mi-hee’s visit to the school was surely Kang Jun-woo’s idea.

Go Mi-hee would throw everything away for her son.

The game had expanded.

“I’m dying of curiosity…….”
“Should we go?”
“Class just started though?”
“The teacher’s not even here anyway.”

Upper-class offspring and minors, still.

Curiosity had overtaken them.

“You all have free time?”

Just then, Jang Ji-yu’s clear voice rang through the classroom.

“…….”

The classroom fell silent instantly.

“Are you all smarter than me?”
“…….”

The students hung their heads under Jang Ji-yu’s brutal home truth.

The position of the Shindo Group’s eldest daughter overwhelmed the class’s collective will.

“Stop thinking about it and study. You lot—and your parents—don’t belong in that world anyway.”

A second crushing blow.

“…….”

Jang Ji-yu was someone they couldn’t bring themselves to resent.

All the students picked up their pens.

But class and status differences couldn’t be bridged even through studying.

It was an affair they simply had no place in.

They suppressed their curiosity and forced themselves to focus on solving problems.

‘If only Mom were here…….’

Jang Ji-yu thought of her mother.

The lady of Shindo Group, who wielded power no less than Kang Jun-woo’s mother.

Bite.

Jang Ji-yu quietly bit her lip.
A longing pressed down on her, heavier than usual.

‘That woman Mi-ju—I hope she gets what’s coming today!’

Jang Ji-yu vented her frustration on an innocent target.

* * *

Grrrr.

The executives sitting around reflexively stood up from their chairs.

The current Parent Association President was Ju Mi-ju.
Though the year had changed, Go Mi-hee remained the former President.

The true chairwoman whom they all acknowledged had arrived.

Go Mi-hee carried herself differently.

An ivory-toned two-piece skirt suit complemented her waved hair perfectly.

Makeup and accessories, neither excessive nor sparse.

Her self-luminous presence dominated the conference room instantly.

‘She… why is she here?!’

Ju Mi-ju’s face went pale when she recognized Go Mi-hee.

The very source of her inferiority complex!

Go Mi-hee had been her comparison target since childhood.

In fact, she’d been belittled because of her.

Korean Group had obvious limitations to its development.

Il-seong, by contrast, was South Korea’s top-tier chaebol.

Fortunately, Kang Jun-woo and Yi Jeong-jun were in different grades.

Last year Go Mi-hee had been Parent Association President, and Kang Jun-woo was elected student body president in the second semester.

No one objected.

It was the perfect fit for Cheonghwa High School.

But this year felt different.

The reputation Ju Mi-ju had built up was tarnished.

Had she not been a direct descendant of Korean Group, she’d never have seized the chairwoman’s seat.

And now, the former Parent Association President Go Mi-hee had appeared on that stage.

Click-click.

Go Mi-hee’s footsteps carried her toward the chairwoman’s seat.

“……??”

Everyone wore confused expressions.
The former Parent Association President’s bold movements with no prior announcement.

Thud.

Go Mi-hee stopped in front of Ju Mi-ju’s chair.

And she smiled.
Her small smile lit up the room.

Go Mi-hee, once called the flower of Il-seong Group.

“Mi-ju.”
“……!!”

Go Mi-hee said her name lightly.
Ju Mi-ju’s eyes widened instantly.

“Would you give up your seat for a moment?”

She requested the chairwoman’s seat without hesitation.
Only Go Mi-hee could make such a statement to Ju Mi-ju.

“…….”

Ju Mi-ju’s body trembled; her feelings were complicated.

Her instinct wanted to refuse outright, but…….

“Oh my, sister. I’m so sorry. Hehe hehe.”

She forced an exaggerated laugh and lifted her heavy body from the chair.

* * *

‘Huh?’

Go Mi-hee appeared just as I was gathering my energy to send that troublemaker Ju Mi-ju flying in one blow.

Kang Jun-woo’s mother and owner of Il-seong Hotel.

Though she’s the former Parent Association President, I’m seeing her in person for the first time.

She’s even more beautiful than on TV.

‘Wow!’

A brilliant golden light radiates from her.

She’s truly the princess of Il-seong Group, the number-one chaebol.

“Thanks~”

She effortlessly subdues Ju Mi-ju and sits in the chairwoman’s seat.

Ju Mi-ju meekly lowers herself into the empty vice-chairwoman’s spot.

Her bitter expression is something to see.
In stark contrast, Go Mi-hee sits quietly.

I’ve heard rumors she has a chronic illness.

With her lean frame and calm presence, she completely commanded the conference room.

The power of Il-seong!

An exclamation escaped from within me.
Then.

“So you’re Tae-ung?”

Go Mi-hee asked, looking at me.
Her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

“Nice to meet you, ma’am.”

I bowed my head slightly in greeting.
Right then.

“Who’s your mother?!”
