Chapter 99 – Confronting the Past

Three more days passed, and it was already Friday.

After finishing her school schedule, Lee Yu-ri sighed deeply and put the books in her bag.

She has been sighing a lot these days.

The cause, of course, is the current situation in which her boyfriend, Han Seong-jin, and her biological sister Lee Yu-min are involved.

Surprisingly, she did not resent Han Seong-jin to the point of death.

At first, she was upset and thought it was disgusting, but if you think about it, it actually happened before she even knew about her and she had already sorted it out.

She once said that she had sorted out all her original sex partners, and that wasn’t a lie.

She had already allowed her boyfriend to have another woman besides her.

But her older sister, Lee Yu-min, was not like that.

After breaking up with the person she believed to be her boyfriend, and unable to accept the fact that he was just one of her sex partners, Lee Yoo-min takes out her anger at her loss and takes out her anger on her younger brother in front of her.

In the end, Yuri couldn’t bear her older sister’s criticism of her and raised her hand, and her sister got into a serious fight.

And because of the scratches on her face at that time, Han Seong-jin suffered even more, and she even distanced herself from herself.

‘Why did it become like this…’

Although she hated Han Seong-jin, it wasn’t to the point where she wanted to cut off communication or break up with him completely.

However, after that day, Han Seong-jin clearly distanced herself from her, and the number of times she spoke to him drastically decreased.

Because she had a rough idea of ​​his condition, she left Yu-ri without provoking him further, but it only seemed to deepen the distance between them.

Since Han Seong-jin’s condition looked bad, she said she would go home first today and headed home.

‘I didn’t want it to look like that… I guess I’ll have to meet tomorrow and talk about it.’

As she was walking home and thinking about this and that, she heard a familiar but not very welcoming voice behind her.

“Yuri!”

Even though Yuri clearly heard those words, she didn’t stop walking or look back.

The sound of her approaching footsteps became louder, but Yuri still ignored them.

“Yuri, please talk to me for a moment!”

“Get out.”

Lee Yu-ri chewed the words of Gong Young-bae, a childhood friend she once liked, but now seemed more disgusting than anyone else, and continued her walk.

However, Gong Young-bae did not give up and followed.

“Yuri, I was too harsh last time! I’m sorry!”

“Fuck off.”

“I’m sorry, I was wrong! Forgive me just once-“

“I don’t even want to talk to you! And why are you raising your voice so high, it’s hurting my ears! If you talk to me one more time, I’m going to call Seongjin and tell him that you keep being picky with me! Get the hell out of here!”

“Oh, who? Do you really know that guy?”

At that time, a third voice intervened.

A group of strong, raven-haired men appeared at the corner of the road in the direction Yuri Lee was walking and blocked the road.

Lee Yu-ri tried to turn in the other direction, but soon men in similar clothes began to appear one by one.

“Who are you?”

“I heard you say it earlier, and you said you knew that bastard Han Seong-jin, right?”

“Yu, Yuri! Run away!”

“You guys, come with us for a little while.”

#####

Three more days passed, but there was still a bit of an awkward atmosphere between me and Yuri.

On the surface, it seemed the same as before, going to school together, eating lunch together, and even coming out to see me off for a while when I left for my part-time job, but it was clear that we had changed a little.

Because I felt sorry for Yuri, I couldn’t have the same physical contact with Suyeon as usual, and I stopped harassing Eunji Jeong.

Jeong Eun-ji was puzzled because I didn’t bother her, but she didn’t feel anything bad, so she just stayed, and Su-yeon was worried when she saw that I seemed to have lost all my strength.

I wanted to ask Yuri about her sister’s condition, but since I had already done such a thing to her sister, I didn’t have the shame to ask, and the two of them even fought, so I was in a state of pain inside.

But it shouldn’t continue like this.

‘You have to take responsibility.’

Anyway, now I am Han Seong-jin, and that means I have to shoulder the mistakes of the past as well.

Since I knew everything about the future and everyone’s tendencies in advance, I benefited easily, so the responsibility for past mistakes is also mine.

Lee Yu-min cried when she got angry at me, so I have to take care of her anger.

No matter how much you criticize me.

And I have to face Yuri properly again.

Yuri, who had nothing to do with the student council, said she would go back today, and she planned to go to her house and get down on her knees to ask for forgiveness.

I took out her cell phone and sent her message to Yuri.

[Me]: Yuri, are you going home safely? I want to apologize to both you and my sister for what happened last time.

There was no reply from Yuri.

‘Are you angry…’

Normally, I would have just put my phone in my pocket and thought I wouldn’t have seen it, but these days, perhaps because I’ve become much more sensitive, my useless imagination keeps coming back to me.

“Haa…”

Even though it’s been a while since school ended, I still haven’t gone home and just sign in the empty classroom.

I need to apologize…

While I was sighing and holding my aching head, the classroom door suddenly opened, and a girl soaked in sweat came in.

The identity of the girl with short hair and sweat dripping all over her body, wearing good tracksuit for running, is Jeong Eun-ji.

I guess he stayed after class and had just finished practicing with the track and field team.

“… What are you doing here if you’re not going?”

“Don’t worry.”

Jeong Eun-ji, who came to put her things in her locker, narrowed her eyes when she saw that I was still there.

“I’m going to change clothes.”

“Anyway.”

“No, you’re going to change clothes? Get out quickly.”

“Just change. Have I seen you naked once or twice? I’m not interested, so you can change or not.”

Originally, I would have called Jeong Eun-ji over and had her serve me naked before changing her clothes, but I didn’t even think about doing that now.

Jeong Eun-ji tilted her head slightly, probably thinking something similar.

“You’re not telling me to do something weird this time? All week?”

“Why do you want me to do it?”

“Who said that!?”

“Then don’t talk to me. I’m not in the mood to play around.”

“… You had a fight with Yuri.”

Jeong Eun-ji asked that question, whether it was because women’s senses were sharp, or because I and Yuri seemed too obvious to anyone.

I didn’t answer that.

I don’t know if Jeong Eunji doesn’t know what I’m thinking, or if she knows and is doing it on purpose, but she chattered in a way that mocked me.

“I wondered how long it would last. Well, you don’t know how to treat women other than how you treat them, so it wouldn’t be strange if Yuri left at any time-“

“It’s not like that, so don’t worry about me. Don’t talk like shit.”

“Who cares about you? I don’t even care what you go through!”

I didn’t respond any further to Jeong Eun-ji’s provocation and quietly closed my eyes.

Then, a rustling sound was heard for a while, and soon Jeong Eun-ji opened her mouth again.

“I’m going.”

When she opened her eyes, she saw that she had changed back into her school uniform.

I really changed my clothes here.

I pointed to her door with my chin.

“Go.”

“…”

Eunji Jeong looked at me for a moment and said, ‘Hmph!’ And then she left the classroom.

And again after a while.

Woooooung- Woooooung-

This time a phone call came in.

‘Is it glass?’

I happily checked my phone, but when I saw the name that popped up, my face froze.

〈Hwang Seongtae〉

“Why is this bastard calling again… Hello?”

As soon as I answered the phone, I heard Hwang Seong-tae’s voice full of dissatisfaction.

“Hey, you bastard Han Seong-jin! Why are you doing this!”

“What bullshit all of a sudden.”

“The girlfriend you were dating! If you broke up with her, I would have given her to you. Why did you throw it at the Eunbong bastards!”

“What?”

I couldn’t understand what Hwang Seong-tae was saying.

“Who breaks up? Who are you talking about?”

“Huh? He’s the student council president. Didn’t they break up? These days, they haven’t even been together, so I was just waiting for him to throw it to me, thinking that something was coming.”

“Fuck, you’ve been talking bullshit since a while ago… Hey, and why are you waiting? “What are you talking about a while ago?”

“아니, 니 원래 데리고 있던 년이 띠껍게 굴면 아무나한테 먹으라고 걍 던졌잖아. 딱 봐도 둘이 싸운 거 같아서 이제 나한테 주겠지 했는데 아까 보니까 은봉 새끼들이 데려가길래 어지간히도 좆같았나보다 했지.”

When I heard that, I jumped up from my seat.

What Hwang Seong-tae said was true.

As for Han Seong-jin… So, when a woman I had a sexual relationship with in the past behaved like shit, I often threw her out there for other guys to eat.

그리고 특히 마음에 안 드는 짓을 한 여자 … 예를 들어 내가 차지하고 있었는데 그녀는 멋대로 다른 새끼 랑 놀아 난 년이 있으면 평소 그 여자가 제일 좆 같아하는 놈들에게 돌림빵 먹이로 던져 주었다.

In other words, from the perspective of Hwang Seong-tae, who does not know much about the situation, he can think, ‘Lee Yu-ri did something really shitty to Han Seong-jin, so Han Seong-jin, who was upset, threw the food to Eun-bong, the person Lee Yu-ri hates the most.’

But the fact that Hwang Seong-tae said this to me means that he saw something…

“Hey, did you just say that Eunbong took Yuri? Did you see it?”

“Huh? That’s why. Didn’t you give it to me to use?”

“When the fuck was that!”

“About five minutes ago?”

“Where did you go? Tell me quickly!!!”

“The direction seemed to be towards the slums.”

“Free the kids right now! Find out where the Eunbong bastards have gone, quickly!!!”

“Why are you so excited? Didn’t you give it to me?”

“Who the fuck will give it to me!!! Unleash all the kids and find Eunbong! I’ll go find them right away, so tell me when I find out their location!”

#####

“What do you say?”

“Even if you solve all the kids. I got this baby immediately. It’s going to flow better than expected? I’ll contact you after 5 minutes. I told him not to touch me.”

“Ah, I didn’t know that Kang Baek-san was planning to eat you first and then slowly eat it right in front of you.”

“They’re such a pair of bastards. Call the kids. It’s over in one shot.”

Hwang Seong-tae shed a bitter smile as he thought of Han Seong-jin running towards the trap at full speed.
