11. Eunbi Jo’s Tears Regret for being late
Inside Broad Academy.
Eunbi Cho was waiting for class with a gloomy expression. Now, her daily routine consisted of helping her grandmother who came to the academy every morning to collect waste paper, and staring blankly at the wall alone in an empty classroom.
In fact, there was no need to help the old woman pick up the waste paper in the morning, even while reducing her sleep, but Jo Eun-bi was doing it instead of Lee Hyeon-seung out of guilt. If he hadn’t been kicked out, Lee Hyun-seung would have helped the old woman every day.
‘…’
Every morning she thinks in silence. Lee Hyun-seung, who has now left, no, who has been suspended. I remember his sad expression, his way of speaking, and howling.
– I made it clear, I didn’t do anything.
I still can’t forget his expression. Occasionally he came to visit Eunbi Cho in her dreams and tormented her.
Jo Eun-bi was one of the people with whom Lee Hyeon-seung was closest. She often asked Lee Hyeon-seung difficult questions during break or lunchtime, and Lee Hyeon-seung answered casually, and the two formed a certain level of intimacy.
In fact, since everyone is a competitor inside the academy, it was rare for anyone to freely disclose information like Lee Hyun-seung. I don’t know if he was aware of it or not, but he did good deeds to Jo Eun-bi to the extent of overflowing. Jo Eun-bi liked him like that. I liked his laid-back attitude, not childlike like the others, bold yet inclusive, and not caring about competition.
I liked the way he was uncalculating, calm, respectful of elders, and engrossed in his studies.
– reception failed
– reception failed
She looked at her phone. In the call list, there were only records of countless reception failures. I wanted to contact him, I wanted to say something over the phone, but Lee Hyun-seung did not receive any contact. she could understand Since Lee Hyeon-seung was unfairly kicked out, he had to be kicked out without anyone believing in him.
I wouldn’t want to contact anyone. It would have been the case even if I had changed my stance.
Jo Eunbi started writing down the letters one by one.
-Hyeonseung-ah, I’m Cho Eun-bi… I don’t think you did that… It’s strange that you’re talking about it now… but I think I should just say it…
She pondered countless times whether to press the send button or not. However, in the end, I couldn’t click submit.
– Click
Jo Eun-bi closed her phone and thought with a sigh.
‘It’s been quite some time since I was suspended, but now I’m sending you a call like this… what’s the point…”
Jo Eun-bi was disgusted with herself. When Lee Hyun-seung was attacked by people, he couldn’t even help at all, and he was in a safe position, so he was sick of seeing himself worrying about Lee Hyun-seung from behind.
‘Honestly… I was scared…’
I wanted to take Lee Hyun-seung’s side. Lee Hyun-seung, whom she saw, was never the kind of person who would do such a strange thing. Lee Hyeon-seung, whom she had seen, was just a man full of academic enthusiasm and uprightness.
But I was afraid. He was afraid of Yoo Hee-yeon, the daughter of Artemis’ guild leader.
What if Yoo Hee-yeon is so hard on Lee Hyeon-seung, and she takes her side there? It was obvious what the outcome would be. After that, he thought that being photographed by Yoo Hee-yeon would not only jeopardize his school life, but he would also have problems entering the guild after graduating from the academy, and furthermore, it might adversely affect his parents, who are currently active in the guild.
‘I can see myself… so pathetic…’
she was afraid So I turned my head. I turned a blind eye to Lee Hyun-seung’s earnest eyes. As a result, she had an even school life, but she was not happy at all.
Her expression grew darker.
– Dripping
-widely-!
One or two academy students begin to enter the classroom. But she was still staring blankly ahead.
Time passed just like that. Now it was time to start class.
-Sueug
She took out the textbook from the drawer and prepared for the lesson.
Before long, Jo Eun-bi, she stared at the empty space with blank eyes.
Then her friend, Han Go-eun, sitting next to her, asked with a worried look.
“Eunbi, are you okay? Your complexion doesn’t look very good, does it?…”
“Yes? okay…? It must be dead…”
Jo Eunbi looked around. Then Goeun Han clung even closer to her and asked a question.
“Isn’t that level of body aches? My lips are pale… Now that I see it, I think I’ve lost a lot of weight… Are you eating properly? It seems like you don’t even eat at lunchtime every day.”
“It’s just… I’ve had a bit of no appetite these days…”
When she answered with a boner, Han Go-eun worried for a long time.
at that time.
– drooling
-Taaak-!
There was a strong sound of the door opening, and Seong Hyun-wook shouted.
“Hey kids, can I tell you some f*cking news? Is that criminal bastard out there? That stalker bastard”
Inside Class A, Seong Hyun-wook’s words immediately began to hum.
“What… Why is he here?”
“You pathetic bastard. Why are you coming to the academy after being suspended?”
“Haa… He’s going to be noisy again, can’t he just be expelled?
The moment when students’ murmur continues. Jo Eun-bi jumped up from her seat.
“Huh?… Uh… Eunbi, where are you going!”
Jo Eun-bi ran to Seong Hyun-wook without a moment to think. Then he looked into his eyes and asked.
“Who… who came? Speak straight.”
“Why is this all of a sudden? who is who Is there any other stalker besides Lee Hyun-seung?”
-Taat
Cho Eun-bi pushed Seong Hyuk-wook and frantically ran to the central stairs. Before long, I looked outside through the window on the stairs. There was a man wearing a brown fedora, a pretty woman, and Lee Hyunseung.
‘Ji…I really came.’
Eunbi Jo ran right away and wanted to say that she was sorry for not trusting me, that she thought you wouldn’t have done that, and that she was sorry for not being able to come forward, but looking at his face, her legs couldn’t move.
because it was sinful. I was so sorry that I had been neglecting him until now, and now I was talking as if I believed him.
-dump
She trembled and her immobilized legs eventually loosened, and she sat down on the spot.
As time passed, Lee Hyeon-seung, who entered through the front door, was already climbing up the central staircase.
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
At some point, Lee Hyeon-seung came up to the stairs where Jo Eun-bi was.
‘Sue…I have to hide…’
Jo Eun-bi thought hundreds of thousands of times about what to say when she met Lee Hyeon-seung.
At the same time, I was afraid of his reaction. I was so scared when I remembered his facial expression, tone of voice, and actions that must have disappointed me.
I wanted to hide. I wanted to go right into the mouse hole. I didn’t have the courage to face him. I didn’t have the confidence to face his disappointed expression.
However, his legs were not moving, so even when Lee Hyeon-seung came closer, he had no choice but to sit still.
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
At some point, Lee Hyeon-seung approached right in front of Jo Eun-bi.
-Sueug
Hyunseung Lee stopped climbing the stairs and looked at Eunbi Jo, who was staring blankly at him while lying on the ground.
Then, Eunseo Jeong, who was next to her, checked Eunbi Cho who was sitting on the floor, and then asked Hyunseung Lee a question.
“Why are you like that? Do you know someone?”
Lee Hyun-seung glanced at Jo Eun-bi once, then quickly turned his head and replied.
“No, I don’t know. let’s go.”
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
so he went away
-Muong
Jo Eun-bi could only stare at him for a while without saying anything as she watched him walk away.
Resentment, hatred, disgust, I thought I would accept any reaction. She herself knew that she was almost the only person close to him, Jo Eun-bi, and she thought it was cheap no matter what kind of treatment she received for not trusting Lee Hyeon-seung, who usually helped her for nothing.
However, Lee Hyun-seung’s reaction was completely different from what she expected.
utter indifference.
There was no emotion in Lee Hyun-seung’s eyes.
There was no hostility, no intent to kill, no malice, no resentment, no emotion whatsoever.
I just look at it as if I were looking at a passing stone.
“Kkeuheugh…..”
“Khaaang””
Crying burst from Jo Eun-bi’s eyes.
His clear eyes had turned into dynamic eyes that had lost their vitality while he was suspended. His voice, which had been kind, was now full of coldness. And, he, who was his friend, has now become a stranger.
She instinctively felt it. That you have already crossed a river of no return. The fact that no matter what he did from now on, the Lee Hyun-seung he knew would not come back. I was feeling cruel.
Jo Eunbi cried on the spot for a long time.

Lee Hyeon-seung crossed the central staircase and headed for the president’s office.
‘Finally… I’ve come this far.’
An unfair suspension. The contempt and hatred he received from those around him.
But I couldn’t do anything because I was a non-awakened person.
All I can do is submit and accept the unreasonable decision.
‘It was unfortunate. I felt like going crazy because of the unfairness.’
Yoo Hee-yeon tried to suppress me by using her parents’ authority.
In a situation where it was not even confirmed that I was the culprit, based on my own judgment, the mere fact that my cell phone came out of my locker made me a criminal overnight.
The guys next to Yoo Hee-yeon are all the same guys. Even though I hadn’t properly completed my fingerprinting or appraisal yet, everyone criticized me in unison, as if I was already a criminal.
I know why. The Artemis Guild must have been scary. They would have agreed for their careers or for their own safety. If Yoo Hee-yeon is like that, it’s the A-class rule that everyone should be like that. Such was the authority of the Artemis Guild.
‘They’re sh*theads who want to eat bean curd.’
Whatever the reason for their sympathy, that has nothing to do with me. It’s meaningless to make a person an idiot and say that it couldn’t be helped.
‘Yoo Hee-yeon, from today’s starting point, life in the academy will be very difficult. You will lose your trust, and I will pressure you in many ways.’
The practical skills she enjoys right now, and all the expectations and benefits she is receiving by winning overwhelming first place in tests or tests that are periodically conducted at the academy.
As she is the only daughter of the head of Artemis’ guild, she is highly anticipated by the public. And that expectation will be shattered in the future, being pushed by the garbage gunman who is treated as an F grade.
‘Don’t kill me. Your smooth life, the smooth road.’
don’t steal it all away Like you ruined my whole life.
I can do that. Now, I’m not a non-awakener, but a legendary level simultaneous awakener.
