30 – Bullying
Jinah Lee said nothing. Lee Jin-ah, who turned her body, went out to visit her dormitory… I watched her back.
Woong Sung Woong Sung-
It was just me and Lee Jin-ah in the room, but there were a lot of people outside the door.
The curious kids tried to go inside to see what happened inside.
I couldn’t get in because the men in suits were holding on to the entrance.
As soon as Jina Lee walks out of her door, she immediately scatters like cockroaches around her.
My room was a mess after a storm swept through.
I put all the clothes scattered on the floor into the closet and lay down on the bed.
Was she really good at saying that to Lee Jin-ah?
Wouldn’t it be my first priority to please Lee Jin-ah, no matter what I was thinking?
“…Then, I’ll be the same.”
Then, she was no different from Lee Jin-ah’s friends in middle school who were full of hypocrisy and pretense. That’s not good for me, and it’s not good for Lee Jin-ah.
Because that’s wrong. What should I do from now on..?
I had to say it with a filter in her hair.
As I lie down and think about it slowly, I feel the same way, and so does Lee Jin-ah… Instead of responding rationally, I poured out emotional stories all at once… I regret it a bit.
You won’t retaliate..?
Well, I wonder if I’ll get dragged into the backyard and beaten up by strange men, just like the sportsman or the student council president did in the past?
“..Ugh… No way…”
2)
A lot has changed since Lee Jin-ah entered the boys’ dormitory and started playing around.
Didn’t she say that if a woman harbors miasma, she gets frost even in May..?
Instead of being dragged into the backyard and beaten up like other people, in a way, I was bullied more severely by Lee Jin-ah every day.
At first, it started from stabbing me in the back with a sharpie during class… Well, it was nothing at that time.
It didn’t hurt that much. So… Whether or not Jinah Lee poked me… She didn’t respond.
Because it seemed like it would just end there. The fact is that if I kept not responding, Jinah Lee would get fed up and I thought she would stop paying her attention to me.
It was the opposite.
Rather, more- the intensity that harasses me increases as it grows. There was nothing that Lee Jin-ah did not bother me.
It is lunch time now. Normally, it would have been either eating ramen at the store or skipping meals.
I couldn’t do that today. I’m on my knees like a sinner Jinah Lee is standing in front of me.
Behind me were men in black suits, but I couldn’t get up just by pushing my shoulders hard.
Her knees hurt as well, perhaps because she was pressed with force from above. Up until last week, Jinah Lee and I ate sandwiches here. And today I got to eat cutlets.
Lee Jin-ah takes a piece of cutlet from the lunchbox in her hand and she drops it to the ground.
Took-
From noble mtl dot com
The cutlets fell on the playground. The crispy cutlets were covered in dirt.
“…Eat”
Cool brown eyes. I couldn’t find the kind old self anymore.
No one could stop Lee Jin-ah at this school.
Even if Lee Jin-ah pours water on my face, stains the clothes I was wearing with paint, or drops her food on the floor and forces her to eat it, there is nothing to stop her.
Even the teachers who need to catch up on school violence, when their eyes meet with Lee Jin-ah…
“Why?”
“…Ah…That…That’s not… Nothing…”
“Go on your way then”
I’m busy leaving my bed in a cold sweat.
The president of this school. And no one could stop Mirae Group’s next successor. Take a video of violence or send an e-mail to the media..?
One of the sponsors of that media company is Mirae Group, and again- if we shoot a video, we will definitely catch the leaker. Will he be able to withstand that retaliation?
Justice and law are nothing in the face of overwhelming power.
“Hey! If I tell you to eat quickly, you can just eat it! Don’t waste your time..!!!”
“…Wait…!”
One of the men in sunglasses who was holding my shoulder grabbed my hair and pressed it against the cutlet that had fallen on the floor.
I can feel my forehead, cheeks, and chin all grinding on the sand, and I’m pressing down on it as hard as I can, but there’s no way I can eat it.
Besides, they’re holding me tight from behind so I can’t even use my arms, and they’re telling me what to do…
“…Stop”
As soon as the words fall, I hear my body frighteningly becoming one with the ground.
I was able to look at Lee Jin-ah because she pulled my hair from behind.
“Feed me?”
I didn’t say anything, but Lee Jin-ah took a fork and put it in my mouth.
Cook-Cook- Like breaking down a castle gate with a siege claw, the way he tried to somehow put the cutlets into my mouth was extremely violent.
I think it would be more appropriate to say that I was forcibly pushed in rather than pushed in.
Crunchy. It’s because there’s a lot of sand, but the food itself was delicious.
“How does it taste…?”
“…”
“Answer”
“….Delicious”
Jina Lee puts down her fork. What the hell is wrong with her..? Scratching her hair with her fingers, she cooks and pokes my shoulder with her fork.
I still feel sick. My body shrank like a scorched octopus.
“That’s it..? I treat you so well..? Are you kidding me?”
“Thank you…”
“…”
– Kwok…!
Instead of answering, he pokes my shoulder with a fork.
Poke, press and twist. Then there was a small hole in her clothes… Back.
It hurts. Sick. The day Jin-ah Lee cried, she was in bed and she was alone when she thought… What if Jin-ah Lee had a grudge against me? She was worried about that.
I never imagined it would bother me this much. Every day… Always beaten like a dog in front of other people, crawling around. Again… Being stabbed with a fork, eating fallen food.
It’s so hard, every time I go to wash, my knees are covered in bruises… And my whole body hurts.
“I’m not as nice as you thought..! I’m incompetent, pathetic, and stupid. Why are you doing this to me..?
Please…! You have many good people besides me. Why..? Why is it me? Why should I be friends with you..? We are all different from one to ten.
I’ll be honest, I don’t hate you. It’s just, I thought we couldn’t get close… So I just… Just said that to you..!
I’m sorry I got mad at you at the dorm..! I apologize for pushing you as hard as I could in middle school..! It was wrong because you said a lot of things you didn’t want to hear… Stop it now…”
– Pair!
The head turns to the left.
– Pair!
This time to the right. Mouth is sore I can taste the iron.
“It’s already too late. You’re a dog. So don’t talk about people. If you’re a dog, be like a dog and scream like a dog.”
“…f*ck! Common sense tells me how can I take care of you! How can I take care of you..! Say something that makes sense..!”
Lee Jin-ah’s shoes kick my stomach. It sounds like kicking a soccer ball..!
I think I got hit in the stomach.
The men behind me prevented my body from bending over. My body, which should have been bent, is forcibly stretched out, so my stomach pulls and I feel like I’m going to die.
I feel like the cutlet I just ate is about to creep up again.
“Doggy! If you do, bark like a dog..! Don’t talk like a human. Two next time.”
“…”
“…Answer”
If you say two…?
“..Wow! Woof..!! Woof woof!!!!”
“Not nice”
Lee Jin-ah touches my face. He strokes her hair and tickles her chin with her fingers.
An act like petting a dog, not a person.
“…A gift to a good boy”
All the food in the lunch box spills onto the floor.
-Cutlets, spaghetti, and salads.
“Eat”
…I looked at the food spilled on the floor for a moment. Lee Jin-ah’s leg falls back one step. Just like you’re trying to kick me.
I can’t get hit twice-If I get hit one more time, it feels like her internal organs will explode.
“You’re not going to use your hands like a human when it comes to dogs, are you?”
Puts her face on the food that has fallen on the floor.
As if she had become an asshole, she picks up the food that has fallen in her face with all sorts of sauces on her face. Her nose pressed against the floor, and her chin hit the floor.
“I hope you don’t look up until you finish eating. We’re going to eat like this from now on. It’ll be fun, right?”
“…”
“Why don’t you answer me..? If I ask you, shouldn’t you answer immediately. It’s better to be right..”
f*ck…f*ck…f*ckaaal…
“Woogh…! Whoop-wong-wong-wong-wong!”
“I need to get a collar for Yoo Seon to wear around his neck. And since it’s a dog- I need a dog house. Also… I need a yard to raise it.
Isn’t it possible that a dog will sleep in a bed like a human?”
“…Bruise”
“Still, since I’m kind, I can look after you sleeping in your bed until you find a house nearby. …I’m lucky.
…What’s next time…? Is it math..? Or is it science..? Hey, guide Kang Yoo-seon. Are you sure you don’t intend to walk around like a human? Crawling on all fours”
She tried to stand up, but was forced to fall back on her knees. Crawling on all fours on the hard stone floor… It wasn’t nice.
That too, while receiving contempt, pathetic, disgust, or whatever… Crawling for about 10 minutes wasn’t a better thing, and the fact that the pants Yoo-jung bought for me was getting worn out because my knees rubbed a lot every time I walked was very disappointing. It was bad.
Things got ugly, the proud protagonist did not take advantage of the opportunity and now he suffers for being stupid
