32 – Bullying
“I’m glad you weren’t seriously hurt though”
On this day, I went to the hospital with Lee Jin-ah without going to school. Orthopedic surgery, dentistry, ophthalmology, etc. Fortunately, I was told that it was okay because I was in good shape.
Since I was beaten up a lot, I was told not to do excessive exercise for a few days and to rest.
Jinah Lee didn’t bother me and stopped by the hospital – then she got in the car and she brought me somewhere.
“I will live here!”
It was her own house that Jina Lee bought near her school. It has a garden, a veranda, and also- well… A house like something out of an American teen drama.
Maybe it’s because the land around Mirae High School is cheap, so it seems like you can build a detached house like this. Is land cheap?
I don’t know. By Lee Jin-ah standards, Seoul and Gangwon-do are all cheap. What.
Although we are young and can’t drive, we have a garage for cars, and there’s a dog house in the garden even though we don’t see a dog.
“…”
An ominous premonition.
“Come in!”

Take off her shoes and enter her house
– Pair!
Jinah Lee clapped her hands.
-Hee hee
What’s so fun about it, I laugh all over the place.
“Actually, Yoo Seon is the first guest to come to our house! Originally, when other guests come to visit for the first time, we have a housewarming party!
So like this, I prepared delicious food- I also brought something to drink, and also- I brought a lot of fun games!”
The inside of the house is perfect. There are appliances that look ridiculously expensive, and the furniture is all new. Everything was glistening.
I followed Jinah Lee and there was a table with food on it.
Steak, sushi, spaghetti, fried rice and stuff like that. There were all kinds of Western, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese foods. And over there in the living room, there was a game console and a pile of game CDs.
“I’m sure it will be fun..!”
“…”
Is it fun? I’ve been beaten like a dog until now, and I really thought I’d die if I lived like this… I crawled. The doctor said my body was fine, but I still feel like my stomach hurts every time I walk…
And I feel like I can’t breathe properly, my legs are shaking, and my head is spinning.
“I’m hungry, so let’s eat first”
I watched Jinah Lee sitting in her chair and holding her utensils. That… What should I do first..?
Should I crawl like a dog? Or, should I stay still..?
Until now… You crawled like a dog. But now i was wrong I begged you to live
Then wouldn’t it be a ‘friend’ relationship again? It was ambiguous to act first. I acted my own way and again- Lee Jin-ah…
-Why are you a puppy and you eat like a human?
I thought I’d say… Her brain was buffering. What should I do… Should I eat with that hand…?
Or should I use utensils? Or should I eat with my face in a bowl like a dog?
I was just checking my eyes. …Lee Jin-ah’s brown eyes look at me.
“…What are you doing?”
“..Ah, that’s it..!”
I was surprised when he suddenly talked to me.
I think I chewed her tongue… My tongue is tingling.
“Ah! Yes, let’s go over there and wash our hands first. Since we went outside, we should wash our hands before eating. Come to think of it, we always wash our hands before eating lunch.”
I got up and washed my hands. After that, I’m looking at Lee Jin-ah again.
“…I’m going to cool down! Let’s eat quickly..!”
Delicious food on the table.
Come to think of it, how many days has it been since I ate a proper meal?
Since I came to this school, I have been eating instant noodles at convenience stores. These days, I couldn’t even eat ramen and kept getting beaten up here and there.
Pick up food that fell on the floor like a dog, eat it, and vomit. Again… And beaten again like a dog… I was thirsty and had to drink a glass of water while looking around in all directions.
“Do you want to eat?”
“..Sssss. Let’s go”
I couldn’t speak properly because I chewed my tongue earlier.
“There’s no need to be afraid, Yoo Seon-ah! We’re friends! We’re friends, so there’s no need to look at me while eating! You can eat comfortably, right?”
Friends. Until yesterday, it was a livestock, but its status has risen to a friend.
Sit on a chair and eat. It was still warm. What should I eat first? I eat fried rice once…
It was delicious.
“Why are you crying?”
“…”
“Did you eat it because it’s so delicious? Yoo Seon-i likes fried rice! I’ll study cooking hard later! Let’s make delicious fried rice together.
I can’t cook right now, so I ordered the chef to bring it to me, but next time I’ll do my best to make it! … It may not taste good, but…”
Lee Jin-ah placed her fried rice on my plate.
“…I hope you enjoy it! Oh, and! What shall we do after we eat?”
“…”
“Playing tag or hide-and-seek? I want to play air games for the first time in a while, and I want to ride a swing with you! Or there’s a game machine over there, so let’s play a game? Whatever you do, it’ll be really fun!”
…Isn’t it already too late to do something else after eating?
It was already past 6pm, and whether I was beaten yesterday or today, I wanted to go back to my dorm.
That… Sounds funny, but staying out overnight without permission is a penalty. There is a saying that if you accumulate too many points, you will be punished…
That happened last night. When you say you’re going back there, you look like a weirdo. There is a corner that I also believe in.
Even if I go back, I don’t think I’ll get beaten like I did today.
Because this morning, while crawling in front of Lee Jin-ah, I begged for help. In front of the dormitory kids, I will personally beat the dogs to those who bully me from now on.
You even made a public ‘declaration’.
No one dares to rebel against anything. Whatever you think in your mind, at least you won’t physically hurt me.
Well, there can be swearing and sarcastic things. Well, that’s about as long as I could stand it.
And honestly, rather than being with Lee Jin-ah… I feel more comfortable being in the dormitory.
“Yoo Seon-ah! Are you sure you don’t intend to go to the dormitory? We were supposed to live together! Have you already forgotten?”
-Daughter!
At Lee Jin-ah’s words, she dropped the spoon she was holding.
That… Yes. She apparently said something like that. Saying that you will find a house near the school and live here.
By the way, I will live with you. Did you say that? I think I did that… What did I say then.?
“Isn’t it?”
The tone that had been so bright up until just now that it seemed like it was going to explode became heavy, very heavy. Cold. It seems veiled.
Big brown eyes start to pierce me.
…You treated me so kindly today, so warmly, I forgot about it.
That this is Lee Jin-ah’s real face.
If I said no, the bodyguards lurking around here would surely come running at me.
If I ever challenge Lee Jin-ah… So that I can subdue him right away.
“Did you forget?”
“I think so!”
“…Don’t lie”
Before I could react, Lee Jin-ah stabbed the back of my hand with her fork.
“…Huh…Huh…!”
It hurts…
It hurts!
A sharp fork pierced the back of my hand and stuck into the table…
I think I hit my hand with a lighter.
It’s hot…
It hurts so much.
…Why…? Why…? Why…..???
Are you doing this all of a sudden?
Lee Jin-ah put the fork in her hand. As soon as Lee Jin-ah let go, she immediately tried to pull out the fork stuck in the back of her hand.
I will repay you the same way I did.
I didn’t even think of that.
…It just hurts so much… It’s the first time I’ve ever had anything like this…
She grabs the fork with trembling hands and starts pulling it up.
– Bubbling.
The more the fork is pulled out, the more red blood flows out like a fountain, soaking the table.
This… It hurts… It hurts… It hurts so much…
I think it’s more painful to pull something out than it is to drive it in… The pain is like a tsunami… It hurts so much… I can’t breathe…
“…Seonah Yoo”
“Ahhhhh”
“Yuseon Kang”
“…I can’t get it out… It hurts…It really hurts…”
Jinyi Lee is saying something to me, but she honestly doesn’t want to hear it.
What do you want to say so well about the subject of having these things implanted in a person’s body…?!
What did I do to you?
– Pair!
Jinah Lee claps her hands.
-Duck
“Uh…? Uh- who are the guys…? Hee hee… Ah… Ah… Let go of this….Let it go…! Fork… Just hold the fork and shake it Jima … !!!!!
Two big men climbed on top of me and grabbed my arms and legs so I couldn’t do anything.
And… Now, put the fork that was barely half out into the hole again…
It hurts, it hurts.
Ah ah ah…
I put it in deep, and then I hit it hard like driving a stake…
“Ughhhhh”
“Yoo Seon-ah, now you want to pay more attention to what I’m saying..?”
“…hehehe…It’s all over… We’re in Chinguramee… I said I did something wrong as a monk”
“Yoo Seon-ah. I know that you were beaten to death until this morning, and then you clung to me because you wanted to live…? You really don’t like me that much.
I’m not stupid. You don’t want to be friends with me. I know everything. Again- Aren’t you planning on keeping your distance from me again? Be honest.
Otherwise, I’ll bulldoze your orphanage.”
“Why are you doing this to me”
“…Are you kidding me? Yu Seon-ah? You should answer my question, right?”
Certainly, Jina Lee, who took me to the hospital this morning and fed me a delicious meal, and Jina Lee, who is standing in front of me now, are the same person…?
From noble mtl dot com
Coldly sunken brown eyes. A heavy, subdued voice. It’s like a different person. …And scared.
“No… No… I’m not kidding… It looks like I’m not kidding… I’m doing my best… I’m not leaving. I’m not running away…”
“You’re nice. Our Yoo Seon-i. It’d be nice if it came out like this. …Yoo Seon-ah. But… Are you peeing right now…?”
My dignity as a human being has fallen to the bottom of the cliff.
I want to die.
…It hurts so much.
I’m so scared… I’m afraid of this situation to the point of dying.
So, it will automatically line up-
Water flows down the bridge.
“Yoo Seon is such a puppy dog. I want him to pee in the bathroom from now on. What is this, Yoo Seonah… Where’s the mop?”
“Lady, let us clean up…”
“Ah…You don’t have to. I can do this by myself.”
“No matter how much…”
“I would have said I could do it alone?”
“Ah, that, that, yes. I see. If you need anything in the future, please call me anytime!”
“…”
“…Yoo Seon-ah, there’s no one else anymore. It’s just the two of us. Yes, don’t be too shy and take off your pants.
By the way, Yoo Seon-ah, before that, I have a few questions for you. Can I ask you…?”
