## Chapter 14 – 엿 (엿 – Korean Taffy, Also Slang for “Screw You”)
As soon as I finished breakfast, I immediately lay down.
I needed to recover from fatigue.
I tried to keep it moderate with Park Jimin, but I got too excited and overdid it.
Honestly, it was fine until the second time I came.
But when Park Jimin put his tongue in my butthole and started licking, there was no way I could stop.
I immediately pounded her pussy mercilessly with my fully erect dick.
I rammed it in like I was going to bury my dick all the way to the root.
-Haa, haa. If you put it all the way in, won’t my uterus get punctured?
Well, even if I did that, I still couldn’t get it in all the way to the root.
I only knocked on the door of her uterus.
-I’ll look forward to the next time♥
‘Damn… my dick’s getting hard again.’
I turned my body to the side, lying on my side, so no one would see.
I calmed my stiff dick down.
While I was sleeping, I suddenly felt a chill.
I heard footsteps, and when I opened my eyes, something came into my view with a whoosh.
I quickly raised my guard and blocked the incoming kick.
Thwack.
“Kuh.”
“Are you sleeping now! You lazy bastard!”
I groaned and got up, and I saw Kim Taehoon and the teachers and flight attendants laughing behind him.
And the burlap sack they were dragging along.
‘Ha.’
I roughly understood what was going on. So, they were giving me back what I did to them yesterday. Telling me to get screwed.
“Hey. Damn it, everyone’s digging for clams, but what are you doing passed out here by yourself! Are you crazy?!”
I looked around, but Kim Yeonjoo wasn’t there.
I pretended to be scared and asked back.
“Am I really the only one missing…?”
“This bastard still hasn’t come to his senses?”
Kim Taehoon grabbed my collar and lifted me up.
I desperately clung to his wrist and asked back.
“B-but, there’s one more person missing besides me, right?”
“That female flight attendant has been busy fixing the walkie-talkie since this morning. It’s not you.”
I see. So, it wasn’t a betrayal. Well, that’s good enough.
I groaned and forced the words out.
“There’s a reason why I slept this morning.”
“What is it? Let’s hear how ridiculous your reason is.”
Kim Taehoon threw me down near the other kids on purpose and raised his voice to draw attention.
Thanks to that, everyone’s eyes were on me.
‘This feels like I’m being subjected to a witch hunt.’
If I don’t respond properly here, I’m going to get beaten to death. Like the male flight attendant yesterday. If it’s Kim Taehoon, who’s grinding his teeth at me, he might even try to kill me.
But this is also within my expectations.
I staggered to my feet and said, receiving everyone’s attention.
“You know the snake, right? The snake that killed the gym teacher.”
“So what?”
“I’ve been on night watch for the past few days, and that snake doesn’t seem to be around at night. But when I was coming here this morning, I saw them crawling out of the sea and going into the bushes.”
“So what! Why are you suddenly talking about snakes!”
Kim Taehoon came at me and raised his foot. To kick me in the chest.
“Wait.”
But at that moment, someone stopped him.
It was Oh Sejoon.
The descendant of a famous scientist and the heir to a global pharmaceutical company.
He’s always looking at science magazines, and it seems like the topic I threw out piqued his curiosity.
In other words, from the beginning, I was talking to Oh Sejoon, not Kim Taehoon.
Oh Sejoon took the bait I threw without even knowing it was bait.
“Keep going.”
“Oh Sejoon!”
“Kim Taehoon, calm down, okay? You’re not the only one here.”
“……”
He spat on the ground after receiving the kids’ attention and stepped back.
I turned my body away from Kim Taehoon and spoke to the kids.
“I think those snakes go into the sea at night and come to the island during the day. So, I was thinking of going around the island at night when they’re not around.”
“At night?”
“Yeah. We’ve only been looking around the island during the day so far, we’ve never checked it out at night. I was going to sleep a little in the morning today because I was going to go around tonight.”
“Is that really the case?”
Some of the kids nodded as if it made sense.
“Hey. This bastard’s just talking out of his ass. Damn it, you don’t actually believe him, do you?”
Kim Taehoon argued, but the kids just had a ‘maybe?’ expression on their faces.
That’s because, unlike the excited Kim Taehoon, that wasn’t important to them.
‘Either way, it’s something someone has to do. And I volunteered. It doesn’t matter whether I’m talking out of my ass or not.’
And as expected, the kids turned to a positive reaction to my answer one by one.
“Then I guess we should let him do that.”
“That’s what I’m saying. What’s the problem?”
Kim Taehoon looked flustered, as if he hadn’t expected this situation.
‘Even though I was bullied and crawled under the kids’ feet for three years, do you think that experience has disappeared?’
Figuring out the kids’ psychology and winning them over is as easy as pie for me.
‘Honestly, I didn’t expect the teachers and flight attendants to team up to screw me over, though.’
I didn’t expect them to get involved in that.
But other than that, everything was according to plan.
I expected someone to say something if I was sleeping in the middle of the day.
No, now that I’m saying it, I deliberately slept out in the open so someone would say something.
If I approached the kids first,
‘I’m going to go exploring at night, can I get some help?’
I would be met with glares and suspicion.
But if the pissed-off Kim Taehoon dragged me out and stood me in front of the kids, then the story would be different.
This isn’t a place I came to voluntarily, but a place I was forcibly dragged out to like a witch hunt.
And as expected, no one suspected that I was going into the forest.
Not even Kim Taehoon, who dragged me out.
I told the kids what I wanted.
“Anyway, so, can I borrow a self-generating lantern tonight? I’m thinking of going into that forest.”
“Damn it. Who said you could?”
Kim Taehoon protested, but the kids all nodded.
And finally, the final decision-maker stepped up.
“Kim Taehoon.”
“Jaejoon.”
“He’s right. Even if it’s a newly made-up excuse, there’s no harm in us having him go into the island and search it.”
“No, but still!”
“If not, then are you going to go into that forest, Taehoon?”
“……”
The gym teacher died from being bitten by a snake. Even if they didn’t actually see it, the kids clearly recognized the existence of snakes in the bushes.
The reason why they set up the shade far away from the bushes was all because of that.
Kim Taehoon bit his lip and sighed deeply.
“…Okay.”
“Thanks for understanding. And cool your head a little. Kim Taehoon, you’re too fixated on one thing right now.”
“Hoo. I guess I am.”
I silently watched Kim Taehoon turn around and walk away.
‘One of the most dangerous guys has a huge spike in stress.’
It was dangerous. It seemed like I had to leave this place in the near future.
‘Let’s go into the forest today or tomorrow and scout out a safe place.’
If that doesn’t work, I’ll walk along the coast all day. I’ll move as far as possible.
***
“Um…”
I turned my gaze to the side at the voice calling me.
The group of teachers and flight attendants were looking at me with awkward smiles.
“Can you make us a fire, Woojin?”
“Please.”
“……”
The guys who just watched from the side the day before.
Thanks to them, I was the only one digging fire pits, and I became skilled at it after repeating the same thing eight times.
But on the other hand, they didn’t know how to do it at all.
And the work came crashing down on them.
They thought they could just make me do it again today, but no way. I was going to be gone.
After that, they seemed to be trying this and that among themselves, but from the side, it didn’t look good at all.
The fire was weak and went out at the drop of a hat.
There was a lot of smoke, and after Yoon Jihoo ran over and yelled at them, their expressions were almost deathly.
And now they’re coming to me with their regrets.
“Woojin. What happened this morning, we definitely didn’t mean it in a bad way. It’s just that you looked tired.”
“T-that’s right. We just left the student alone because he looked tired. But they picked on that and…”
I shrugged my shoulders.
“I have to go exploring now, so I have to leave early and come back before sunrise. It looks like you’ll have to figure it out on your own this time.”
“B-but…”
“Then, good luck.”
Then the science teacher jumped to the side and pointed at the homeroom teacher.
“Then, why don’t you just take me with you? Ms. Lee Soojung stays here and I go instead. What do you think, Ms. Soojung?”
“Huh? I, I mean… well…”
I told the kids that I would be taking one person with me while receiving the lantern from them.
Of course, it was to take Kim Yeonjoo noona with me.
To have someone to talk to all night, and to have some healing time.
More than anything, I didn’t know what kind of danger she might get caught up in if I left her here.
But noona had to wait in front of the walkie-talkie in the cockpit all day, so she couldn’t come with me.
‘I want to just go alone, but…’
It was already done.
It wasn’t a good choice to say that I needed manpower and was going to take one person with me, and then say that I didn’t need it anymore.
I had no choice but to choose the homeroom teacher, who was the easiest to control among the teachers and flight attendants.
At least she wouldn’t complain or whine about being tired next to me.
“Let’s go.”
The homeroom teacher nodded and followed behind me.
“Ah…”
The science teacher looked at her enviously.
Not just the science teacher, but everyone.
If they didn’t make a fire properly within the next 30 minutes, Yoon Jihoo was going to make another fuss.
‘By that time, they might regret doing something unnecessary this morning. They should have just stayed still, instead of holding a grudge against me for trying to screw me over.’
It’s their own fault.
I snorted and passed them.
“Ah, where did Lee Jaehoon go at a time like this!”
Once it was confirmed that they couldn’t get help from me, everyone focused on making a fire again.
But they didn’t know. That the problem wasn’t just the fire.
I took a quick look at the clams that were being purged, and they seemed to have just picked up any old thing.
All sorts of things were mixed in, and I wondered if it would actually taste as good as the Manila clam, which is called the queen of clams.
‘No. The taste isn’t the problem right now. If there’s poison in it and something goes wrong, or if a bigger problem arises, the aftermath…’
Well, they’ll clean up the mess themselves.
They’re adults, so they’ll take responsibility for their actions.
I was worried for a moment that something might happen to Park Jimin, but I soon dismissed the thought.
Thinking about it again, I didn’t think I had to worry about her getting sick from eating the wrong food.
That’s because there’s Yoon Jihoo, the son of a star chef, Oh Seyoung, a celebrated genius chef, and Oh Sejoon, who’s serious about science.
Yeah, there wouldn’t be a problem.
“Then, I’ll be going in.”
“Okay.”
The homeroom teacher and I each grabbed a lantern and twisted the handle around and around.
Whoosh-
The self-generating lantern created light.
The light flowed out of the lantern and illuminated the forest covered in darkness.
The forest occupied by darkness was occasionally swaying in the night breeze blowing from the sea.
I used my [Danger Detection] ability to quietly watch beyond the forest.
‘As expected, there’s nothing dangerous at this time. I don’t see any red energy.’
But I can’t let my guard down.
I used my [Danger Detection] ability and stepped into the forest.
I carefully walked between the trees. Carefully looking at the ground to see if there was anything dangerous.
The homeroom teacher followed closely behind me, and the light and shadows stretched out long.
We seeped into the forest.
And little by little, the sound of the waves gradually faded away.
