Chapter 93 – Episode 93: School Starts (2)
“Your facial expression is scary.”
Eunseo muttered, looking down at Yeji who was glaring at them.
“Wow, didn’t you almost get stepped on by that bitch?”
“I was stepped on once.”
It was because they naturally had some trust as they chatted leisurely.
“Was she always that kind of bitch?”
Si-hyeon asked Hye-hyeon about Ye-ji’s past. Since she had known him since she was young, Hye-hyeon knew most about Ye-ji.
“Uh… Well, it was similar. I usually only got into fights with the kids here. I was really outgoing during middle school, but I became a bit quieter when I was in high school.”
“I had only heard rumors. Seeing it here in person, I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but it turns out that wasn’t the case.”
“But…”
Hye-hyeon looked at the woman eating crushed bread on the ground and said.
“He’s still good at fighting with a body like that.”
Yeji’s body was now very out of balance. Because she used flexibility and elasticity rather than strength, Hye-hyeon had some expectations that Ye-ji would not be defeated as she lost a lot of muscle and gained weight.
“It’s better than fighting well.”
After Hye-hyeon, Eun-seo, who has a keen eye for her body’s movements, was the one to receive the talk.
“I’ve definitely become dull. But more than that, the other person is too scared. Is it going to be a fight if they hit me back the way they hit me?”
“Oh, the analysis of the athletic department is different as expected.”
Eunseo thought to herself for a moment about whether Sihyeon’s praise had anything to do with it. Meanwhile, Miju asked Hyehyeon a question.
“But are you leaving it like that?”
Mijoo’s question showed an expectation that something had changed in the situation. It was obvious that she wanted to see new paintings due to Miju’s personality.
Whether Mi-joo was directly involved, everyone expected that Ye-ji’s corruption would be at the center of it.
“Once things change naturally…”
After a brief pause in her speech, Hye-hyeon continued.
“It seems almost impossible, but… Should we wait a little longer?”
This time, Hye-hyeon asked something she was curious about as Mi-ju and Si-hyeon looked at each other with confused expressions.
“But why isn’t Sia showing up? I don’t think she transferred to another school.”
Since Si-hyeon was 100% in charge of Sia during her vacation, he was the only one who knew what she was up to. If she was really curious, she could contact her directly to check, but Hye-hyeon didn’t go that far.
“Oh, he’s a little busy these days.”
When the topic of Sia came up, Sihyeon smiled and answered. This time, Hye-hyeon asked with a puzzled expression in response to Si-hyeon’s answer.
“Huh? Vacation is over, why? Is it because of the broadcast?”
“That’s not true… He had an accident once at the Water Bomb concert.”
The rest of the children knew what Sia went through during her vacation. On the surface, it was treated as an ‘accident’, but it was an incident designed by Si-hyeon and Eun-ji.
“Yes, the one where you waved naked in front of so many people like a complete whore!! Are you doing that again? Please include me too!”
After seeing Sia’s naked dance on video, Mi-joo asks Si-hyeon why he didn’t invite her, and for a while, she insisted on doing it again. Of course, nothing similar was planned.
“No, that’s not it… She was making a fuss about Sia’s conspiracy, and then she got caught up in the company’s compensation for damages, and now she continues to go to Four Angels shows as a back dancer. For free.”〈 Br〉
“Free? It’s a complete slave contract.”
“Well, it’s not a formal contract, and the company offered it on the condition of not suing me. So I guess I’ll be taking a break from school for a while to continue practicing.”
Hye-hyeon, who finally understood, nodded and muttered.
“It seems like the school is offering something like vocational training. Attendance is recognized.”
“But rather than practicing, aren’t you just going around to dump your emotions? Kikick.”
As expected, Miju said, first thinking about the life she would have in her practice room there. While they were talking about various things, Hye-hyeon and others were not the only ones watching Ye-ji’s actions.
“What are you enjoying so much?”
As Sujeong was looking out the window, she heard a young man’s voice. The only men allowed in this school were a teacher like Sujeong and a security guard.
“Ah, Teacher Kang.”
Teacher Kang, who came next to Sujeong, looked out the window that Sujeong was looking at and let out a small exclamation.
“Oh, it’s Yeji.”
Yeji was famous not only among students but also teachers from the moment she entered school, but for a slightly different reason. Before she distinguished herself through fighting, teachers had both doubts and expectations upon learning that she was the daughter of K Construction CEO.
Normally, for a conglomerate of that level, it was taken for granted to go to the humanities field rather than the business field, and especially to a prestigious special school. Of course, Baek Ye-ji is not the successor of K Group, and is only the daughter of a construction company that is one of its affiliates, but it is a known fact that she is the recent presence of K Construction and that its president, Baek Han-soo, is favored by the group chairman.
On the other hand, there were quite a few teachers who were looking forward to some kind of hit or miss. Such as school donations given under the name of a school development fund, or gift certificates given secretly to take good care of your daughter.
But of course, no such funds were delivered. Ye-ji’s decision to enter the business world was entirely on her own initiative, and even if Han-soo and Eun-bi were in Korea, there was no way Han-soo, who valued morality, would do such a thing.
“I thought she was something special, but she was just an ordinary business student. There must have been a reason why she didn’t go to a prestigious liberal arts school.”
Sujeong felt that Teacher Kang’s evaluation was somehow negative.
“Well, Yeji’s grades are very good.”
“Even though she has won first place here hundreds of times, she is still inferior to last place at a prestigious liberal arts school.”
“Yeji’s high school grades were good enough for a prestigious humanities school.”
Teacher Kang paused for a moment and then changed the topic.
“I guess Teacher Hong thinks Yeji is special.”
“It’s special… She just cares about her students. She’s a former teacher.”
“Teacher… I like that word too, but it seems like she has been forgotten by the business world for a while.”
Her eyes narrowed at Teacher Kang’s words.
“As a teacher, isn’t that crossing the line?”
Even with her slight frown, her crystal face is pretty enough to capture a man’s heart. In fact, when she came to work on her first appointment, she captured the hearts of many male teachers.
Due to the nature of the business world, most of the teachers were men and received many dashes, but no one was currently approaching Sujeong rationally.
A sense of duty as a teacher towards students.
Sujeong’s passion was unusually hot. She spent her life attending a special vocational school, but was able to come to her senses through a gift she met by chance.
That past was also the reason why she applied to be a special school teacher.
To such a correction, other teachers who treated vocational students as if they were, nothing could not have seemed normal. Teacher Kang was one of the male teachers who initially had a crush on Soo-jung, but she gave up that feeling early on.
“This is Ms. Hong’s first school, right? She’s been here for about three years now?”
“Teacher Kang is senior to me.”
Sujeong is the youngest teacher at Future Special School. The male teachers ranged in age from those in their 30s, but the only female teachers were Sujeong and one teacher who was the same age as her, and the remaining three were in their 50s.
Because Soo-jung started studying late and took the exam again, she was appointed as a junior to a female teacher of the same age.
“Then you can think of it as advice as a senior.”
“I think this is something I’ve heard a lot, but it’s my senior’s advice, so I’ll listen to it.”
Unlike his words, his tone was sharp. Teacher Kang took a short sigh and then spoke.
“Not only here, business students live within their own world and rules. Even the government is already turning a blind eye to most issues. When I was a student… Ah, if I say this, I’m going to sound like an old man.”
Teacher Kang snorted to herself and cleared her throat.
“There is already an unwritten rule between them and the teachers that must never be broken: not to interfere with each other. If this is broken, the situation that arises will not be helped by anyone around, including the school. There will be no one willing to help. .”
“…”
Sujeong continued to listen without saying a word.
“There were times before Mr. Hong. There were people who said that they would lead the students in the right way, or that they would come out strongly and correct it. The male teacher was accused of sexual assault and was dishonorably retired, and I understand that the female teacher is still receiving outpatient treatment at a mental hospital. “
The last part of what Teacher Kang said was the first time I had heard of Sujeong.
“How did…?”
As Sujeong responded, Teacher Kang’s voice became a little stronger, as if she felt rewarded for speaking.
“I fell into the students’ trap. As someone trying to help students, it’s easy to fall into the trap. The male teacher was given the stigma of going to a place called by the student he was trying to help and then raping that student.”
“Then the female teacher…”
“That person was even more miserable. The assault and sexual harassment combined led to mental illness. She was probably around Mr. Hong’s age. The age difference between her and the students was not that much, and she was the same woman, so it would have been easy for her to assault her. And in a state of force majeure, To the students…”
The words broke off in the middle, but Sujeong could have guessed it without having to listen to her. They suffered all kinds of insults from students of the same gender. Just like what happens to business students.
“The police and schools…”
“Although children are legally adults, they are also students. The law is very lenient on students. Moreover, special schools are like a blind spot of the law.
Sujeong was speechless. This indicates an unspoken affirmation. After a while, Sujeong spoke quietly.
“This is my first time hearing it.”
“Of course, it’s not a good thing. Everyone is hissing.”
“But… How are you so sure that those things are a trap for the students?”
The meaning of the question was clear. What the students said could be true.
“You seem to be thinking on the students’ side in this story as well.”
Teacher Kang said with a tired expression. Sujeong, who discovered her inner thoughts, was angry and gave a rough answer.
“Because the truth is important, not whose side you are on.”
Teacher Kang thought for a moment and said why she thought so, then turned her back toward the teacher’s office.
“That teacher and I were classmates. At least she wasn’t the type of person to lie about something like that to me, a person of the opposite sex.”
Sujeong looked at Teacher Kang’s back in silence and then turned her gaze back to where Yeji was outside her window. While she was talking with Teacher Kang, the situation was resolved and there was no one left.
Are her beliefs wrong?
Sujeong thought deeply and headed to the teacher’s office to prepare for class with a bitter expression.
