78 – Dongmin Lee (13)
Dongmin Lee (13)
Tee-ring, T-ring-♪
Pleasant video call sound and outgoing screen.
“……”
My heart started beating fast.
It wasn’t just because of the situation where I had to answer the phone from another girl at Haerin’s house.
Video calls were traumatic for me.
It was because it reminded me of a time in the past when I had to ‘report’.
‘Hey, he’s very responsive.’
Hae-eun Kim, the villain she met after going through the days when she was physically bullied by Seo In-woo and Nam Jae-chan, initially asked for a chat partner through frequent text messages and chats.
‘Have a little fun, are you an idiot?’
‘Is Lee Ha-gyeong pretty? Is it your style I think it’s pretty ugly. Why don’t you answer me, motherf*cker.’
‘A teacher like a dick.’
Emotional trash can handling.
Later, I called from time to time.
‘Aren’t you answering the phone soon? Are you a bastard?’
Inadvertently, the sight reached my father’s ears, and he cut it off on his own, and was beaten at school.
From noble mtl dot com
Kim Hye-eun’s kicking was painful to me, who was skinny even if he were a man and didn’t know how to exercise.
She was a taekwondo practitioner.
By the time she was in high school, she was also attending a boxing academy, so she became the owner of a hot fist just like the boys.
She isn’t even a lover, but her severe ‘contact obsession’ later developed into a video call.
As if she wasn’t embarrassed, she called with her bare face in front of me, wearing a pack or wearing heavy make-up uncharacteristically for a student.
Thinking that my face is the ugliest thing in the world, I hated seeing my face at the bottom of the screen during video calls.
She forced it though.
‘Hey, flip your forehead.’
She and she made all kinds of things, and sometimes it humiliated her like a slave.
What I hated even more was when she was with her friends.
‘Hey, look at Lee Dong-min’s forehead.’
After school, in the late evening, before she even woke up from a hangover, she was drinking soju while watching her father’s notice, and she made another video call and demanded this.
I wonder if I’m alone.
She was with her friends, even her seniors.
‘Ohh-‘
‘A little cute?’
‘f*ck me, how cute, because he looks like a parasitic old man.’
I had to be a spectacle and a laughing stock in front of them, as if I were a monkey in a zoo.
‘Where are you going while eating?’
‘My mother is such a mess, so home education is a mess-‘
It was a common occurrence for her father to get unfairly beaten again because the phone call was getting longer.
“………”
I unconsciously turned it off.
Since it was obvious that Kim Hye-eun was going to give a damn, after the video call ended, she immediately called the missed number.
“…Hello?”
[Lee Dong-min, what is it, why did you end the video call?]
Contrary to what I was worried about, Kim Hye-eun’s voice I hadn’t heard in a long time was neither annoyed nor angry, but a smiling voice.
As if they’re going to play a practical joke.
The tone isn’t bad, but the way he speaks, as if the corners of his mouth rise crookedly, is still the same.
“…No video calls right now.”
[Why? Are you nervous? Are you excited? Did your sister contact you?]
Bullsh*t.
I wanted to shout, “Don’t talk nonsense,” But I tried to kill my heart and continued the story.
Let’s find out why Kim Hye-eun called.
You don’t even have to talk to her about it, and you just have to accept and send it to the extent that you don’t offend her.
‘Why is Kim Hye-jung her younger sister…’
I bit my lip.
Can things be this twisted?
If it wasn’t for Ban Yi-jae’s work, the juniors in the department who would not have been involved were the family of the bad relationship in the past.
If it wasn’t for this, she wouldn’t have been able to find me in Haerin’s kingdom by changing the number.
Anyway, we’ll just have to deal with that.
What the hell do you want from me?
‘Away from my sister?’
‘Are you the kind of person who looks after my sister?’
Do you even want to say something like that?
In the first place, Hyejeong Kim and I have nothing to do with each other.
Those who approached me ‘first’, like my club friends, would be a little different.
If that’s what Kim Hye-eun wants, I promise to do so without any regrets.
Other than that, I couldn’t get a feel for it.
“…Is it because of Hyejeong?”
[What?]
A question from the other side of the phone.
[Kim Hye-jeong? Why is he?]
“…Didn’t I contact you to tell you not to meet Hyejeong? I think you misunderstood. She’s not even like that with Hyejeong, and she probably doesn’t even like him. We haven’t talked much together.”
[What?]
Kim Hye-eun chuckled.
In the past and now, not paying attention to the surroundings, the sharp yet loud laughter was still the same.
[Kim Hye-jeong is usually misunderstood. He’s such a gold digger. If you keep ignoring him, won’t he like you too? And of course you shouldn’t date him. Is it your dream to have sister rice bowls? sh*t, didn’t you see that?]
“…Sister, what?”
[This bastard is still a concept. You’re a boy… Uhh, no. It may not be a concept.]
Kim Hye-eun turned the topic.
[I just called because I was curious. It’s true that I asked Kim Hye-jung for the number, but do you know how flattering I was to get it from her? You know I can’t flatter you, right? You have to say what you want to say. I have to feed all the kids who act like sh*t to me, one at a time, to get rid of it.]
She said a little smugly.
‘You know me well.’
Of course I know.
Crazy dog Kim Hye-eun.
There are several episodes, but there were times when she silently left the classroom for disturbing her sleep, and punched a female teacher in the face for touching cosmetics in her bag.
There was nothing I couldn’t do for a quiet, helpless and lethargic child like me.
Although her eyes were raised by her Hae-Rin, to be honest, Kim Hye-Eun is pretty, and while her school was afraid of her, there were often kids who envied her.
Perhaps if she had bothered me a little less, I might have had a crush on her too.
Now that’s never going to happen.
[I told Kim Hye-jeong that I would connect you with you.]
“… I have a girlfriend.”
[I know, you bastard, the sudden rush is still the same.]
Kim Hye-eun laughed again.
[Will you really introduce yourself to Kim Hye-jung?]
… That’s right.
No matter how bad things get between the sisters, they wouldn’t want to introduce their blood relatives to a bastard like me.
I was embarrassed by the useless misunderstanding.
[But I’m curious about your girlfriend.]
My spine stiffened at Kim Hye-eun’s words.
“… No girlfriend.”
I said straight-forward.
I’m indecisive, but when it comes to Haerin, I can’t hold on to my old attitude anymore.
[Oh, that’s a really sweet pumpkin.]
Kim Hye-eun said with interest.
[That’s why I’m more curious.]
“………”
[Hey, don’t do that, let’s have a drink.]
Kim Hye-eun said.
[I wonder how it might have changed. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen it, can’t we organize a meeting with alumni?]
“………”
[What does it mean to be friends? I think you’ll also be dissatisfied with your girlfriend. Did you have s*x Oh, can Dongmin escape Dongmin? My sister was thrilled.]
I was angry.
As expected, perpetrators and victims have different ways of thinking.
She was ‘seriously’ treating the events of those days as a side dish or a joke.
Thanks to that, I became a little calmer.
I spit it out thinking that it was not Lee Dong-min who was suffering from trauma, but he said what he had to say.
“There is no such thing as a full story. And nothing has changed. You even took pictures.”
Kim Hye-eun sent me a picture of Haerin.
Of course it’s a hidden camera.
This kind of thing happened to her often during her school days, but even as an adult, she couldn’t seem to fix her habit.
‘Raise your head.’
‘Oh, f*ck you. Do you think G is a f*cking celebrity?’
Kim Hye-eun forcibly snatched my hair while I was pretending to sleep and shouted to everyone to listen.
Uh ha ha ha.
I seem to hear the laughter around me.
“Let’s get some shots, motherf*cker, huh?
I clenched my fist.
[Hey, are you talking coldly?]
Kim Hye-eun said as if she was sad.
[You look like you cut your hair? But you couldn’t see the front. I thought it was long, so I just took a picture and passed by, but it was you after all? I sent it in case I didn’t know, but it’s true right away. If Kim Hye-jung hadn’t brought up about you, I don’t think I would have bothered to contact her. I’ve been thinking about you lately, but I run into you by chance, and it’s completely fate that you talk about me?]
f*ck.
Please stop talking sh*t.
Do you still think I am a former Lee Dong-min?
Those words stuck in my throat.
Kim Hye-eun and I have been doing it since high school when she refers to herself as her first girlfriend or whatever.
‘My Dongmin, would you like to touch my breasts? Thighs?’
I was only s*xually harassed without wanting to.
She forcibly pulled my hand and put her own stocking on her thigh, and then she hit me on the head.
f*ck-!
‘Are you a pervert? You bastard, pervert-‘
‘Give me 5,000 won because I touched her breasts.’
‘Don’t you give it away? Asshole, do you think my b*obs are the kind of b*obs that can be touched by anyone, at any time?’
‘If I don’t hand it out, I’ll report it to the police?’
‘Do you want to become a criminal?’
In the first place, if that statement is true, it means that I took the picture without even knowing it was me.
She was the only one with her criminal temperament.
I knew her misdeeds through and through.
I don’t want to know more, but if she hadn’t reformed, she would still be living as a fool who only believes in her face.
Apart from that, I was worried.
Kim Hye-eun’s shooting was at an angle where I could see the back of my head and Haerin’s frontal face.
‘Haerin didn’t know?’
Seeing that she doesn’t say much, no matter how much she is Haerin, she may not always be on the lookout for her son-in-law.
She’s completely focused on me when I’m with her, so maybe she didn’t know that she was being secretly filmed.
“I’m not going out.”
Finally I made up my mind.
“Honestly, I don’t even know why I have to meet you. I don’t know what you think, but my high school years were the worst. Unlike you.”
[Why? Did I like it?]
Even if I said that it was bad ‘because of you’, Kim Hye-eun’s way of thinking didn’t seem to flow that way.
It was still a playful tone.
[Is it because of your girlfriend?]
“It has nothing to do with that.”
[Then come out. I have a boyfriend too.]
“I’m not curious about that.”
I said.
As I said, I got angry.
“That’s why I won’t go out.”
[… Come out. Lee Dong-min.]
“………”
At that time, the tone of Kim Hye-eun’s voice strangely changed.
Until now, if I had said it in a high tone like a joke, it felt like it was a few steps away from that.
“… I’m not going out.”
I mustered up the courage to speak.
But did he notice Chinta’s strong acting?
Kim Hye-eun revealed her true color.
[Hey, do you think I’m joking because I’m comfortable talking?]
“………”
[Come out. Dongmin Lee. I’ll give you the address.]
Repeated words.
Now the tone has completely changed to command tone.
Something like you?
It was definitely the tone of the old days.
But rather, I felt comfortable.
It wasn’t easy to get angry or annoyed when it was time to play pranks on your girlfriend or something, but if it came out like this-
Maybe it was because I lived with Haerin, who was determined in everything, or because I thought that on my side, Harin, who was more reliable than anyone else, was behind me, I wasn’t nervous at all.
It seems that I am also growing a little.
Who is Haerin Kang?
Considering her background and her history, thinking about the time she spent with her, it’s just ridiculous for a girl in her twenties who still can’t get out of the Iljin game.
“What if you don’t like it?”
A moment of silence.
Kim Hye-eun, who didn’t think I would rebel, kept silent for a long time before she spoke.
[You know I’m crazy, right?]
“I’m sorry, Kim Hye-eun, but we are adults now.”
I also said without losing.
From noble mtl dot com
“Isn’t it time to stop playing like this? It’s true that I was afraid of you, but not anymore. So stop being so commanding.”
I was serious.
I always lived my life as if someone was swaying me, but that’s why I wanted to take the initiative more than anyone else.
But there was always a reason why it couldn’t.
I was a weak person.
My mother, who forced her to study the Bible, said that if I did not listen to her, it was her own fault for not being able to properly educate and pray.
She even cut her own body with her scissors or knife in front of her unknowing child.
I couldn’t pretend I didn’t see it.
My father oppressed me with violence.
Although he was already over sixty, I still didn’t have the confidence to defeat him by force.
That’s how violent he was.
The countless bullies during my school days were because I had no ability to make friends and because I was too timid.
Of course, it was also because I had a sense of qualification, but I should have loved myself the more I did.
Not anymore.
I can no longer live being swayed.
For me too.
For others too.
“Don’t order me-!”
I shouted.
I tried my best, but I was out of breath.
[… Wow, sir, I thought it was a movie.]
Kim Hye-eun pretended to admire.
[These days, dramas that take revenge on perpetrators of school violence are popular. Are you thinking of doing that?]
“…Don’t be sarcastic. I have no intention of taking revenge. It’s not even worth it. I think you, Seo In-woo, and Nam Jae-chan are all people who have nothing to do with me. So don’t even ask me to see you. I don’t want to see it.”
[Why are you talking about those bastards?]
“Then I’ll hang up. Please do not contact me.”
[Wait a minute, hey, you…]
I hung up the phone.
For a very short time, I thought there would be a call from Kim Hye-eun right away, but there was no news.
One minute.
Two minutes.
5 Minutes.
It wasn’t there for 10 minutes.
It was my victory.
