Chapter 96 – Episode 96 Hye-Hyeon and Sujeong’s Bet (1)
‘Is this a good thing?’
As Yeji returned to class, her heart became heavy with complicated feelings.
‘I’m sure they won’t report it or anything.’
At the end, she asked once again, but she wasn’t sure if she had done the right thing by telling Sujeong everything.
‘If things get bigger then…’
Yeji vowed to stop that at all costs. Fortunately, the situation that Yeji was concerned about did not arise due to the modification.
However, the incident occurred in a completely unexpected direction for both Yeji and Sujeong.
“What did your homeroom teacher say, Yeji?”
A-yeon, who was curious about the content of the consultation, asked Ye-ji when she returned.
“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just the usual nonsense… Huh?”
Yeji, who was answering and putting her hand in her pocket, noticed something strange and started searching other pockets as well.
“Ah, damn it.”
“What’s going on?”
“I guess I left my phone in the counseling room. Ah, it’s annoying.”
Yeji responded with an annoyed expression and fell down on her desk. Not only was it a hassle for her to go back, but the counseling room was located on the other side of the classroom, where the teachers’ offices were located, so she was afraid of running into teachers.
A-yeon said soothingly, hugging Ye-ji’s arm, which was hanging down with her strength gone.
“What do you think? Let’s go get it together later.”
Ye-ji went to the counseling room with A-yeon, who patted Ye-ji, who seemed to be feeling down, and was able to find her cell phone on the sofa where she was sitting. It seemed like it had fallen out of her skirt pocket and was slightly stuck in the corner where the cushion and backrest of her sofa met.
By the time Yeji and A-yeon headed to the counseling room, Su-jeong and Hee-jin had both returned to the teacher’s office.
Over the weekend, Soo-jeong and Hye-hyeon each wrapped their heads and thought about what to do next. Sujeong is to stop Hye-hyeon, and Hye-hyeon is to counterattack her.
From Sujeong’s perspective, the goal was to persuade Hyehyeon. She either persuades or pushes.
‘If we fight, can I win?’
In the meantime, Sujeong has been carefully observing the students. She was said to have made a lot of mistakes during her time in the business world, but of course, she was at a level that Yeji couldn’t even dare. Furthermore, she was confident that she would not stand out from the rest of the students.
This was the reason why she was able to overcome the threats of some students.
‘Even if we win, if we all blow ourselves up and die together…’
This situation can end. A known secret is no longer a weakness.
‘But can we say that this situation has been resolved?’
I stepped forward to help Yeji, Zinc, and Sia, but I couldn’t let them become the biggest victims.
‘I can’t help it. All you have to do is try to hit it first.’
On the other hand, Hye-hyeon was in a much better position than her Soo-jung. Even though it may not be the hand that Yeji intended, she was presented with a good opportunity.
Variable removal and revenge.
However, it was unclear what kind of action the crystal would take. She could have just consulted and taken no action.
‘Please approach me, Soo-jeong Hong.’
Hye-hyeon prepared contingency plans to deal with various situations in case Sujeong approached. She didn’t care even if it didn’t work. It’s good if it works, but if it doesn’t, it’s not.
Even if Soo-jeo gave up, Hye-hyeon didn’t have much to regret. Now that she can maintain the situation. Still, she couldn’t help but want to show her true self if possible.
Hye-hyeon could only trust Su-jeong’s sense of justice.
‘It’s done!’
On Monday morning, Soo-jung’s call was delivered to Hye-hyeon. For most students, being called by a teacher is a nuisance, but Hye-hyeon was waiting for this situation.
With light steps, Hye-hyeon headed to the counseling room where her correction was waiting. There was a nameplate on the door of the counseling room that said ‘Counseling in progress’.
Knock-
Hye-hyeon came into the counseling room and saw Su-jeong standing there, and then she sat down on the sofa before Su-jeong could even tell her to sit down. It was clearly behavior that was against etiquette in society, but among these people, it was just behavior that could not be called rude at all.
School authority and etiquette are more broken than in high school. That was the current address of the vocational special school. Sujeong, who saw that, silently placed her cup of tea in front of Hyehyeon and sat down on the sofa.
Soo-jung looked at Hye-hyeon in silence for several minutes, then drank her tea and repeated. Hye-hyeon was waiting for Sujeong to quickly tell her business. When Sujeong didn’t say anything, she tried to speak first but closed her mouth.
In this situation, an impatient person is easily at a disadvantage. If you move first, the side that responds will have an advantage. It was a negotiation where Hye-hyeon had nothing to lose, but in order to get the best result, she must not show signs of haste.
Sujeong was also aiming for that and measuring the time. She didn’t know that Hye-hyeon had overheard the conversation between her and her Ye-ji, but she thought that she would know why she called Hye-hyeon.
According to what she heard from Yeji, Hyehyeon was a clever and intelligent child.
After another few minutes, her first words came out of Hye-hyeon’s mouth.
“If you don’t have anything to say, I’ll go.”
It was Hye-hyeon who opened her mouth first, but it was Su-jeong who caught her off guard. Even if it wasn’t today, there would be another chance, but she wanted to resolve it when she made up her mind.
“Oh, no, wait a minute, Hye-hyeon. Sorry, the teacher was busy organizing his thoughts.”
Hye-hyeon, thinking she had won the first point, grinned to herself.
“Okay, then I’ll listen to you.”
In an instant, the initiative passed to Hye-hyeon, and the subsequent conversation proceeded with Su-jeong being dragged along. From the beginning, Sujeong planned to persuade Hyehyeon by threatening, threatening, and making recommendations.
However, since she had shown that she wanted to be listened to, the conversation could not help but flow as a request.
“I heard from Yeji. Hyehyun, you are joining with other classmates to bully Yeji, A-yeon, and Sia.”
“Yes? Oh my god, am I Yeji?”
Hye-hyeon expressed negativity with her excessive reaction. Sujeong looked at it in bewilderment and was at a loss for words.
“Yeji, how good is she at fighting, and who gets what from her? I’m even childhood friends with Yeji. Are you trying to separate me from Yeji?”
Sujeong thought that the acting was at this level as well. Sujeong, who knew that was a lie, was disgusted by Hyehyeon’s over-action.
But she can’t resist. She thought that if she appealed with sincerity like she did to Ye-ji, Hye-hyeon’s heart would also be moved.
“Don’t play around. These things may be fun and make you feel superior now, but they won’t help you in life at all. I sincerely hope you come to your senses and stop now.”
Hye-hyeon asked with a surprised expression upon Su-jeong’s words filled with earnestness.
“Teacher. Why are you so interested in us?”
“What? Well, as a teacher and an adult…”
“Push!!”
Hye-hyeon’s snort made Su-jeong’s mood rapidly worsen.
“You now…!”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Isn’t it too old-fashioned for someone of your age to say that you are an adult in a stereotypical way? It’s not like I’m preaching like an old man…”
Hye-hyeon’s blatantly rude behavior shocked her and left her speechless.
“No matter how big the age difference is, they always act like adults… I feel like there’s at least one place where they’re not adults.”
Hye-hyeon looked at her crystal breasts and said mockingly. The nickname for Sujeong that is widespread among students is Fried Egg. It was a nickname that mocked her breasts because they were so small, comparing them to the shape of a fried egg’s yolk.
It was Hye-hyeon’s first time seeing her crystal breasts like this in front of her eyes, so she thought. Even though she was wearing a bra, I thought that even a fried egg would be too much for her.
There were rumors that she was obsessed with the word ‘adult’ because of her breast complex.
‘He has a chest complex… Similar to Yeji. No, Yeji still has a B cup. Teacher Lee and Yeji seem to have a similar vibe…’
Bang!!
“You can’t stop!!!”
Sujeong, who fell for Hyehyeon’s provocation and was furious to the point of her head, hit the table with her palm and stood up from her seat. Even though she was a business student, she had never been one to misbehave like this.
“Teacher.”
Hye-hyeon said, taking out her cell phone from her pocket.
“If you even touch me with a finger, I will immediately report you.”
In response to Hye-hyeon’s unwavering response, her excitement, which had been extremely high, began to subside little by little.
“And in the first place,”
Hye-hyeon placed her cell phone on the table and continued her words.
“Do you have any proof that I did that?”
“That’s…!”
Sujeong flinched at one word from Hyehyeon and was unable to continue her words.
“From the beginning, the teacher only listened to Yeji and then said this to me, but what was this… Aren’t you ignoring the principle of presumption of innocence? If you think of me as a teacher, I’m showing favoritism.”
The correction was irrefutable. There was nothing wrong with what Hye-hyeon said. From the beginning, she had thought of everything under the premise that Yeji’s words were true, but what if they were false…?
“No way…”
Sujeong sat down on the sofa again and was lost in her thoughts. The emotions she saw in Yeji were filled with her sincerity.
‘And there’s no need to lie like that.’
If her presence bothered her, she could just ignore it. Even if it wasn’t for her, there was no need for her to intentionally drag Hye-hyeon into it and make up her story.
‘Obviously Yeji’s story is true. But…’
I couldn’t ignore Hye-hyeon’s words. He quickly lost his argument. She called Yeji and thought about having a three-way confrontation, but she immediately gave up the idea. Although she didn’t know it, it was clear that Yeji’s situation would be even worse.
‘To this unexpected thing… Huh?’
While her excitement had not yet subsided, a scene that stimulated Sujeong’s adrenaline again caught her eye.
“Cellphone!!”
