The Nature of Possession chapter 247

247 – EP.10 Rebirth-2

***

The other person did not move even while going down the stairs.

All I could do was look at Inho, who was struggling on his crutches.

After coming down the stairs, In-ho caught his breath.

He took a deep breath and looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.

“May I ask what brings you here?”

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Inho was the first to open his mouth.

“…….”

The man who received his question, Kim Jin-tae, remained silent.

I just glared at him.

I didn’t really like that gaze, but Kang In-ho wasn’t energetic enough to upset the game from the beginning.

Actually, since my partner was a child who was half my age, I also wanted to give him more time.

Kim Jin-tae looked closely at In-ho’s arms and legs with his sharp eyes, and Kang In-ho chuckled at the sight.

One day, when he confronted the bandits he met in the mountains, Kim Jin-tae overlapped with the way they looked closely to find their weak spot.

“Arms, legs… Do they look like they’re worth doing?”

He raises one corner of his mouth and provokes.

Kim Jin-tae assessed victory and defeat just like he did in the cafeteria the other day.

‘If you do well, you might get overtaken.’

A thought occurred to him suddenly, but Kim Jin-tae decided to watch the situation a little longer.

Kang In-ho sat in front of Kim Jin-tae, perhaps a little annoyed by the person who continued to remain silent.

It was a place where a bench was placed in the shape of ‘ㅁ’.

“Originally, I was going to give you a chance to speak first, but since you kept your mouth shut, I’ll ask you first.”

I have a lot of questions.

Kang In-ho added.

“Why on earth did you do that? Did you do such a thing because the teacher had anything to do with you?”

He swallowed for a moment and then asked.

The question was sent as gently as possible, without any hint of hostility.

But what returned was another silence. Kang In-ho scratched his head with his good hands.

“Ha… I don’t like saying things twice.”

Kim Jin-tae’s body instinctively flinched at In-ho’s low-pitched words.

I felt like my cheek, which had been hit so hard the other day, was tingling again.

“If you’re going to keep acting like a dumbass like that, why are you just hanging around here? You’re just wasting both of us’s time. Don’t you have something to see me too?”

When Kang In-ho patted his chest in frustration, Kim Jin-tae, who had been as still as a stone, stood up.

In-ho looked up from below at the other person with fierce eyes.

“Hey, let’s stick together.”

Kim Jin-tae said as she took off her outerwear despite the chilly weather.

“…Okay, whatever.”

You just do whatever you want.

Kang In-ho muttered dissatisfied.

Knowing that male students at that time were full of bravado and arrogance, he held back one more time.

He got up with a shaky expression, put his crutches on one side, and took a crouching position.

Although his posture was sloppy, he had memories of training and was confident that he could subdue his opponent to this degree.

He saw Kim Jin-tae’s face.

“…?”

Then he moved his head forward and looked at the other person again.

Taking off his outer clothes, I could see the fear that could not be hidden in the eyes of Kim Jin-tae, who was ready to fight at any moment.

In-ho was certain that the emotions in his eyes were not those that emerged from the unconscious.

Inho slowly looked at the other person.

I could see his clenched fists, connected arms, and legs on the ground shaking slightly.

The color on his face has already gone, and traces of chewing are clearly visible on his lips.

“You…”

What’s wrong with you? As I was about to ask, Jintae Kim rushed forward.

A right hook entered with the center of the body lowered.

Easily dodging the attack that came in as if in slow motion, he hit his opponent’s uvula with the blade of his hand.

“Keck!”

Kim Jin-tae stumbled, making a sound as if he would stop breathing at any moment.

In-ho looked at the empty torso without any guard and wondered whether to throw an additional blow, but then lowered his hand.

Kim Jin-tae rolled his eyes and rushed at him again.

Is it because they thought they would fall if they hit it with their body since their legs aren’t strong enough?

In-ho completely avoided it by moving his legs a few times.

Kim Jin-tae rolled on the floor of the park after being charged with no one to receive him.

His pants were torn as he was swept against the stone floor, and blood flowed through the gap.

“Sssss!!!”

Kim Jin-tae rushed towards me while cursing.

[If you are afraid of attacking, no matter how sharp your sword is, you will not be able to cut a single piece of paper.]

Inho remembered Soyou’s words he once heard.

Kim Jin-tae still had fear in his eyes.

After….

Kang In-ho took a deep breath.

Then he raised his casted arm high and struck it straight at the top of his opponent’s head.

With a dull sound, Kim Jin-tae fell to the floor.

He writhed on the floor for a while like a stoned frog, and In-ho spoke to him who could not raise his head.

“Let’s stop now.”

***

Kim Jin-tae hated Kang In-ho. Everything from how he looks to what he does.

At first, she thought she had met a good friend.

He believed that he had created such a group that would make boring school life fun.

When someone asked him if drinking, smoking, and extortion were fun things to do at school, he could confidently nod his head.

This is because the way of thinking was different from the beginning.

But even from Kim Jin-tae’s perspective, Kang In-ho was a different person from himself.

Kang In-ho was more vicious and more trash.

It was the day I took money from a middle school student I lured into an alley.

Like most students, I didn’t have much money.

Just as he was about to take away less than 5,000 won and leave.

Kang In-ho slapped a middle school student in the face.

The middle school student fell down with a light sound.

[What are you doing?]

As Kim Jin-tae argued with wide eyes, Kang In-ho shrugged his shoulders.

[You just wasted so much time.]

There was a time like that one day.

After it became known that Kang In-ho’s house was quite well-off, Kim Jin-tae, who was smoking a cigarette at the back of the school, asked him.

You have a lot of money, so why bother taking it?

[Just? It’s fun.]

In-ho Kang answered his question by taking a deep drag on his cigarette and then exhaling for a long time.

If it were just like that, he would have been able to get along well with him all along.

Yes, if he had just done that, he would have been fine.

If Kang In-ho hadn’t brought the woman he had been with since one day.

[Me? My name is Shin Jeong-ah.]

“Why did you do that?”

Kim Jin-tae, lying face down on the floor, cried out, half sobbing.

Blood flowed from the face that was swept on the hard floor.

Although it was difficult to open his eyes due to the blood dripping from his forehead, he raised his head and looked at Kang In-ho.

“But why the f*ck are you doing this to us all of a sudden?”

“No….”

Kim Jin-tae sobbed as his breathing became unstable due to falling down.

“At least… You should be nice to Jeong-ah… You damn bastard…”

Kim Jin-tae hated Kang In-ho.

Everything from how they look to what they do.
