Chapter 84 – Park Eun-Ae (2)
Sudden home visit.
Having received the message through Seol Ha-yeon’s mouth, which is not yet an accurate story, I decided to observe the situation.
“Ah, the teacher is here. I will go.”
After that, Seol Ha-yeon goes back to where her friends are sitting.
I looked at her and gave her a slight bow of her head to express her appreciation.
Kim Deok-bae opens the school gate and enters.
He put the bundle of papers on the podium as if it were annoying.
“Pass it roughly from front to back.”
The family correspondence that was thus delivered.
After reading the family communication from the front, I could see that Seol Ha-yeon was right.
Of course, there is no such thing as Kim Deok-bae not visiting.
In the home communication, it was written that there would be a home visit.
“There will be home visits over the next three months. Let everyone know at home. If the schedule cannot be met, inform the principal in advance so that the vice-principal and the chairman do not have to worry about it.”
As Seol Ha-yeon said, it means that the vice-principal and the chairperson act directly.
At that, I immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Well, it didn’t make sense that Kim Deok-bae, who looked like that, would visit the house himself.
A boat that protrudes.
It’s an ugly look to anyone who sees it there.
There… Even if you wear sweatpants, even the ugly stuff protrudes…
He was the kind of person that made me hate him just by looking at him.
Of course… There are places that don’t, though.
While thinking about this, Siwoo raises his hand from the side.
When Siwoo raised his hand, Deokbae Kim looked at Siwoo.
“It is not yet question time. Park Si-woo.”
Then, Siwoo lowered his hand.
Kim Deok-bae looked around at the students and then spoke up.
“Since it’s midterm exams in a little while, I plan to visit from next week. It will proceed according to the number, and the house the vice principal visits and the house the chairman visits are separate, so keep this in mind.”
Kim Deok-bae then looks at the family correspondence and examines the contents again.
As he looked at the family newsletter, he pointed out each one.
“Kim Ji-ae, Jo Gu-ho, Lee Ji-eun, Shin Min-hyung… The chairman of the board is going to visit you, so keep that in mind.”
My name mentioned.
I definitely felt that the swimming team was given special care.
The swimming team is supported with special care by the school foundation.
As a result, ordinary students did not bother to ask why the chairman was visiting.
“Don’t forget to write down your personal circumstances and submit them within this week… Hmm… I guess this is enough.”
Then, Deokbae Kim looked at the students again.
He looked at everyone and said briefly.
“Anyone have any questions?”
Siwoo raised his hand right away.
Deokbae Kim looked at Siwoo.
“Isn’t the teacher visiting?”
At those words, all the students looked at Kim Deok-bae.
Kim Deok-bae, who received the attention of the students, responded in a flirtatious manner.
“There is such a thing as adult circumstances.”
Then the gossiping female students.
Among them, Ji-ae’s name was mentioned.
Rumor has it that Ji-ae was admitted to a mental hospital due to sexual harassment.
Even though the rumor is not true, the female students talked about it.
“Be quiet over there. I can hear everything.”
After that, Kim Deok-bae doesn’t really protest.
Apparently, rumors did not spread well, so Deok-bae Kim was excluded from home visits despite being the homeroom teacher.
“Okay, another question.”
Then some students raised their hands.
Some students talked about their personal circumstances and asked questions about the schedule.
A classroom where stories like this come and go.
I just stared at the home newsletter in my hand.
* * *
“You mean the chairman is coming in person?”
“That’s right.”
Dinner table.
I sat at her table with her mother, Park Eun-ae, and talked about what had happened today.
“It is sudden… “
A mother’s expression as if she was a little worried.
However, when the chairman said that he would come in person, it seemed that he was preparing his mind for now.
“Can you tell me what the reason for the Chairman’s visit is?”
“I’m not sure, but the president of the board said he would visit the swim team… “
Special management level.
Thinking that way made me feel at ease.
If the chairman only visited my house or Ji-ae’s house, I would have been wary right away.
Fortunately, he said that he would also visit the houses of male students Jo Gu-ho and Shin Min-hyung.
There are about four of us in our class, students from the swimming club.
Considering that he was also visiting from another peninsula, it didn’t seem like the chairman who came to visit the family would stay for that long.
“Do you know when you can come?”
“I said I would visit next Wednesday at 10 am.”
“Ah… I see But then it’s school day.”
“I said that since it was a home visit, only the parents would meet, regardless of students.”
Letters written in bold letters on home correspondence.
As she pointed to it, her mother nodded her head.
“The chairman is coming, but wouldn’t it be better to prepare a little? What do you think of your daughter?”
“I think it would be nice to keep it simple.”
“I saw a roll cake at the department store that looked delicious, and I should serve it.”
A mother who has already finished her preparations in her mind.
I saw my mother and smiled at her.
The reason I can hold on.
The reason why Lee Ji-eun’s mental level can still be maintained above 50 is thanks to her mother.
She is a mother who is always by my side.
With no golden sun this time, she thought she would be fine.
There…
Fortunately, Kim Deok-bae is not moving.
I emptied the rice bowl thinking that.
* * *
Ding-dong.
The bells ringing in the house.
At that sound, Park Eun-ae went to the door.
Wednesday at 10 am.
It is still around 9:50, but
It was an appropriate time for the chairman of the board to come for a home visit.
“Who are you?”
“Yes, I came for a home visit. My name is Song Mi-ae.”
“Okay, I’ll be leaving soon.”
A beautiful woman standing as I opened the door.
I heard from the author that the chairman of the board was a woman, but Park Eun-ae, who did not know that she was a young woman, looked surprised.
Neatly styled hair.
And Park Eun-ae, who saw the chairman dressed in a black suit, hesitated for a moment.
“Hello? The author’s mother.”
“Hello.”
Park Eun-ae greeted awkwardly.
Her Song Mi-ae, who stared at her, carefully seemed to prove her identity as her self.
Park Eun-ae, who was slightly wary, nodded her head when she saw the business card that Song Mi-ae had handed to her.
“Excuse me.”
“No. Because it happens often.”
Song Mi-ae smiles brightly and shakes her hand as if saying no.
Park Eun-ae, who saw her, looked at her with an apologetic expression on her face.
“Would you like to come inside?”
“Oh, I have a group.”
“If you are in a group… ”
Park Eun-ae tilts her head.
A virtuous man appeared in front of him.
“Hello. My name is Deokbae Kim.”
“Ah… Hello.”
An eerie man who exudes an incomprehensible atmosphere just by looking at him.
But since she couldn’t reveal it, Park Eun-ae smiled awkwardly and was greeted by Kim Deok-bae.
Song Mi-ae smiles slightly.
She pointed to Kim Deok-bae and said.
“This is Deokbae Kim, the teacher in charge of the swimming club. He is the homeroom teacher of Ji-eun’s student.”
“Ah, you were the homeroom teacher.”
Following her Song Mi-ae, the situation was disrespectful to her daughter, her daughter’s homeroom teacher, Kim Deok-bae.
Park Eun-ae looked at the two of them with an apologetic expression.
“Would you like to come inside?”
“Then… “
Deok-bae Kim and Mi-ae Song enter the house.
The two smiled and followed Park Eun-ae.
“Are you usually alone at this time?”
Park Eun-ae nods her head at Mi-ae Song’s question.
She smiled and nodded her head.
“Yes, I am usually alone at this time.”
“Is the author’s father coming over for dinner?”
Normal conversation.
So Park Eun-ae answered simply.
“Oh, my husband is on a business trip for a while.”
“Okay.”
Song Mi-ae heard that.
Deokbae Kim, standing behind him, smiled.
Kim Deok-bae’s creepy smile.
But Park Eun-ae didn’t know that, and she served her tea with her roll cakes that she had prepared in advance.
“Thank you. The author’s mother.”
“I’m afraid it might not be enough.”
People sitting on the couch like that.
On the other side of the sofa where Park Eun-ae was sitting, Kim Deok-bae and Song Mi-ae sat.
“Thank you for welcoming me on such an unexpected visit.”
“Can you tell me what could be the cause?”
“You don’t have to worry because it’s a home visit every year.”
Song Mi-ae answers with a smile.
Seeing her like that, Park Eun-ae nodded her head.
A courtesy home visit.
In fact, Park Eun-ae also remembered that teachers came to visit her home when she was about Ji-eun’s age.
Of course, a home visit that occurred due to circumstances.
When she was pregnant with Ji-eun in her childhood, the teacher who learned of this visited her at her house.
Park Eun-ae couldn’t stand this awkward atmosphere during a normal home visit that was different from that time.
Especially…
Her blatant stare seemed to scan her own body.
Park Eun-ae felt indescribably uncomfortable at the gaze of the author’s homeroom teacher, Kim Deok-bae.
If she had been alone with her homeroom teacher, she would have been more uncomfortable.
Park Eun-ae was thinking that she was lucky that her board president, Song Mi-ae, was with her.
Song Mi-ae talks about school life and the swimming club.
At her kind explanation, Park Eun-ae gradually began to let her guard down.
“Student Jieun will become a good player to represent the country in the future. We want to help such a student to fully focus on swimming.”
“Thank you very much for your words.”
The chairman of the board highly praises her own daughter, Ji-Eun.
She never looked down on anyone who boasted about her child and no one else.
“However… Can you tell us about the bylaws you just talked about?”
A story never heard from the author.
Since she was Park Eun-ae, who was said to be a hard swimmer in the swimming team, it was the first time anyone had heard about her bylaws.
Bylaws mentioned while explaining the various benefits and supports within the school swim team and how they manage students.
Park Eun-ae wanted to know for sure about this part.
“It may be a little unreasonable, but the swimming club students are forbidden to date. To focus more on swimming.”
“Ah… “
A word that makes sense.
So Park Eun-ae nodded her head as a sign of affirmation for this part.
A thought came to me then.
I suddenly remembered the story that I had recently dated Siwoo, my childhood friend.
“If… What if you fall in love?”
Then, Song Mi-ae put on a serious expression.
She said softly with an apologetic expression.
“It will be an expulsion. Regarding this part… There is a problem of equity, so there are no exceptions because it applies to all.”
A word from Song Mi-ae, who is determined.
Park Eun-ae couldn’t help but be taken aback by those words.
