Chapter 92 – Chapter 92
Today, as always, we arrived at the academy through the cold weather.
These days, the gaze toward Chaeyeon was quite different from usual.
Girls were envy and jealous of Chaeyeon’s beautiful looks, but not anymore.
She frowned at the unwillingness to see her as the same woman on the same level.
In addition, the fact that the boys could see through Chae-yeon a sinister gaze full of wind and even imagining strange things did not change much, but the degree of it has increased considerably.
And there.
“Is that him? A prostitute who sells bodies?”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
“Uh… Dirty.”
She said that she would sell her body at any time, as long as she gave her money from a certain moment, a slut, had become a prostitute.
“Hey. I’ve saved up a lot of money. Shall I ask for a refund?”
“Can you join me too?”
“Go away. I’m alone. Why am I with you?”
As if there were no lies in the rumors, there were a few boys who thought they would give it once if they gave them money.
I felt very bad.
It couldn’t have been worse and it was unfair.
I don’t know if I really sold my body, but I’ve never done that, so why did such a rumor spread?
For some reason, Chaeyeon felt like she knew the reason for this.
She entered her classroom, leaving the gathering gazes and whispers behind.
As soon as she entered the classroom, she was greeted with glances and words that, of course, felt outside her.
She is only attending an academy without being able to overcome her mother’s support.
Even though she honestly didn’t study, the fact that she was one of Ji-hoon’s girls made colorful petals fly on the road of her life.
As a result, her book of conduct did not come into sight.
Still, she had nothing to do during the long vacation, and she came every day with the intention of going quietly to ease her mother’s worries, but she had no reason to hear such words.
“Ha…”
She let out a deep sigh as she clutched her aching brow.
A blatant laugh came from behind.
Taking a quick glance, as expected, I saw Kon Dae-geon and his gang in the back seat by the window, as well as three girls who got caught biting and biting Chae-yeon to their heart’s content in the bathroom.
As soon as he and the girls noticed Chaeyeon’s gaze, what? Her eyes seemed to say something, and she grinned.
“Driving me crazy…”
Insignificant things seemed to come out.
Usually, when Mijin or Nayoung were with me, I was even more angry about things that I would not have been able to even talk to, let alone come near.
In my mind, I wanted to seek help from Jihoon.
It was the boyfriend I loved who said that if something happened, don’t worry and tell me everything and he’ll help you.
Chaeyeon was familiar with the fact that he didn’t just say that.
That’s because it wasn’t once or twice that he got help from Jihoon.
From small things to things that Chaeyeon and her family couldn’t overcome, she easily solved them, so how could she doubt it?
Even Ji-Hoon’s father was a tycoon who had just entered the top 10 Korean companies.
And domestic, overseas stocks and FX? There is also Ji-hoon, who has huge assets like that, but it’s no different from a powerful family that anyone can’t touch.
If you tell Ji-hoon about this with false tears, he will come out right away.
But Chaeyeon didn’t.
She was only attending an academy, and it was embarrassing and embarrassing to be involved in such a thing.
Above all, since Ji-hoon is the busiest person these days, she couldn’t call her.
She couldn’t even be of any help because she didn’t want to be the woman blocking the bright road ahead.
“Chuckling.”
“Knock-knock.”
Laughter was very annoying.
She just got angry at her for talking behind her back and advised her not to do it from now on, which angered her and made the girls stick with her.
It’s like trying to gaslight with the girls clinging to you, just like Ji-hoon did to Na-young and Hee-ra.
“If you’re going to do it, do it right. Like an idiot. Tsk…”
Even if she isolates her, she has to be approached after being kept secret. That won’t happen, but she might be shaken with a 0.0001% chance.
However, when I openly showed that I had isolated you, I only felt hostility.
I regretted coming to the academy quickly without thinking.
I should have been comfortable at least in the morning.
Chaeyeon rubbed her forehead and let out a sigh.
In the hope that class time would come quickly, she tried to ignore the eyes and words that were tearing at her skin.
“That… Chae Yeon-ah.”
In the meantime.
Her girl, the only one she was close with at her academy, approached her hesitantly.
“Why?”
He was a kid who did nothing wrong, but he was strangely nervous.
“That’s… Chae Yeon-ah. The rumor… Is it true?”
She frowned at the question that followed.
Even though it was a relationship that I met at the academy.
Her relationship with Chae-yeon, who was planning to quit the academy at the end of her vacation, would soon be cut off, but she was a girl who was full of thoughts of being her true friend for a short time.
However, she couldn’t believe it, but she couldn’t see it as a good thing to stab her with a heart in case of rumors that she heard.
‘My condolences end here.’
Even if it wasn’t a long-lasting relationship for her, she never imagined it would end so quickly.
She looked away, feeling unworthy of an answer.
No matter how long she waited, she didn’t answer and didn’t even look at her, so her face went dark and she went back to her place.
“How’s it going? You say you’re right?”
As soon as the girl of hers who had left Chaeyeon’s side arrived at her own friends, she was bombarded with questions.
“I thought so. She has a boyfriend who says she has been dating for 1000 days. Why doesn’t her face even appear on social media?”
“I mean. We’ve been dating for 1000 days, so what’s there to be ashamed of? I’m not like that.”
“It looks like you sold your body and bought everything, including rings and necklaces.”
A conversation that I can’t bear to see with my eyes open.
She is first recognized as Nayoung’s boyfriend, but if Chaeyeon’s only boyfriend, Jihoon, appears on her social media, it would be a nuisance to her.
That was the reason why there were no pictures of my boyfriend, Ji-hoon, on social media to avoid such things in advance.
She didn’t even know this, and she cursed.
The girl she once thought was her friend, she didn’t say anything back to her friends, she just listened.
Chaeyeon quietly closed her eyes with a feeling of desperation.

“I’m home…”
Her hard day was over and she returned home.
She didn’t even do hard labor, but her exhausted body and her exhausted mind made her sick.
“Are you here?”
As she took off her shoes, her mother came out of her living room to greet her.
“Yes…”
As she answered helplessly, she took off all her shoes and tried to enter my room.
“Mom.”
“Huh?”
She called her mother, who was heading to her couch to finish watching the TV she was watching.
“You know… I…”
Her speech was choking her jaw.
But … But she seemed to be incapable of not talking.
“Can I stop going to the academy?”
“…”
She is a mother who normally would have slapped her on the back for not talking nonsense.
But seeing Chae-yeon’s sincere voice and expression, she was sure she had a good reason.
“Yes. Don’t go around.”
Rather than questioning her reason in anger, she hugged Chaeyeon’s body with a kind smile.
Crying.
Riding on her mother’s shoulder, her face was broken and tears poured down her face.
“Huh… Heh… Uh, Mom… Mom!”
The tears I had been holding back came out.
She cried sadly, like when a teddy bear she treasured as a child got caught somewhere and was torn apart.
“Yes, yes. Chae Yeon-ah.”
They patted Chaeyeon’s back and hugged each other for a while.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
“Have you calmed down?”
“Yes…”
He sniffed her fresh red nose and nodded her head.
“Don’t go out tomorrow. Mom will tell the academy everything.”
She smiled and tousled her hair.
Not even thinking about tidying up her tousled hair, Chae-yeon questioned her.
“Mom…”
“Huh?”
“Don’t you ask…?”
“What?”
“The reason I want to quit school…”
“She’s curious, but she’s my daughter. I’ll wait until Chaeyeon wants to tell me first.”
Cried again
Chae-yeon talked about what had happened so far as if she were revealing everything to her coercive interrogation, but she left out being called a prostitute or a slut.
Her mother’s expression twisted viciously as she quietly listened to the fact that she had become a little more refined.
“I see… You’ve had a lot of trouble.”
He hugged Chaeyeon’s body again.
“You don’t have to go to the academy tomorrow, so sleep well today.”
“Yeah… No… It’s okay…”
Chaeyeon shook her head.
“I have to go anyway to get blankets, books and stuff from the locker over there.”
“Wouldn’t it be okay if I ask the teacher to get it?”
“Yeah… That’s okay, but the teachers are kind people, so I want to say hello…”
Even the teachers who didn’t wake Chae-yeon even if she fell asleep during class because she wasn’t studying were caring people who got along well with the kids outside of class.
So I wanted to say goodbye face to face.
“Will Mom come with me?”
“No it’s okay.”
I smiled hard.
She didn’t want him to know that he was called a slut, a slut who sold her body to make money.
“Yeah… Okay. If you say you can’t go, then you have to tell me. Okay?”
“Yes… Mom. I love you.”
“I love you too. Chae Yeon-ah.”
The two hugged each other again and shared warmth.
As much as now, despite the season of winter, the passionate love between mother and daughter flared up between the two.
