21. The Unbreakable Past (2)

puck! Kudang-!

As Ho-young rolls the floor at Lee Dae-hyun's kick, Lee Dae-hyun kicks his tongue.

"Ttt, this bastard isn't responding anymore. Hey, are you a corpse? I'm not a murderer yet, so show me your reaction."

"Daehyun-ah, this is no fun anymore. He's already betrayed all his friends, can't we just stop now? Honestly, it's a waste for me to pass lunch time."

When one of Lee Dae-hyun's gang said that, Dae-hyun stopped kicking Ho-young and looked at him.

"Are you ordering me now?"

"Huh? Oh, no. That's not it..."

"Or do you want to swap seats with him?"

When Lee Dae-hyun pointed his finger at Ho-young, who was lying on the floor, he shook his head violently.

"No, not at all! ...Sorry, I was wrong."

"It's okay to know."

As such conversations were going on between them, Ho-young was hoping that lunch break would be over quickly.

After lunch break, there were hardly any cases of being dragged out during a short break of 10 minutes.

It's been a long time since I couldn't eat lunch at school because I was brought to Daehyun Lee at lunchtime.

Lee Dae-hyun and his group ate hamburgers at the canteen while watching Ho-yeong collapsed.

At that moment, Lee Dae-hyun, who was bored, saw a centipede passing along the line of the sidewalk block laid on the floor.

At the same time, an interesting thought popped into his mind.

"Ah, now that I think about it, my Ho-young must be very hungry? What if he can't eat alone?"

"Huh? Daehyun-ah, what did you eat wrong? What are you talking about all of a sudden?"

“Keuk-tuk, stay still. Hoyoung-ah, I’ll make you eat something delicious.”

Lee Dae-hyun said so and grabbed the centipede crawling on the floor with his hand, and put it into Ho-yeong's mouth, who had fallen defenselessly.

"Ugh!"

"Hey, you too, hold him so he can't move."

"Wow... you're not kidding."

When something came into his mouth, Ho-young tried to spit it out, but Lee Dae-hyun blocked his mouth with his hand, preventing it from spitting out.

He wanted to remove his hand, but he couldn't because Lee Dae-hyun's group grabbed his hand and pressed it to immobilize him.

She felt the movement of a living centipede in her mouth, and she had goosebumps all over her body, and tears that I had not seen for the past few days were welling up.

At that moment, the eyes of the PE teacher and Ho-Young, who were looking down from the window of the staff room on the second floor of the auditorium, met.

Ho-young asked the gym teacher for help with his eyes, but he sipping coffee as if he had seen nothing, fell from the window and disappeared.

Hoyoung felt as if the floor he was lying on collapsed and fell into the endless ground.

And then, Hoyoung's body couldn't take it any longer and moved his throat.

gulp.

"Uh! Hey, hey. He just moved his uvula!"

"Now let go, let go."

When Lee Dae-hyun and his group let go, Ho-young immediately vomited out a strong nausea.I had goosebumps all over my body and I felt sick to my stomach.

As the nausea continued, the centipede, still wriggling with stomach acid, fell to the floor.

The centipede came out, but Hoyoung couldn't stop vomiting.

It felt like something was crawling down my throat.

It was only after quite some time that he barely calmed down.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

The surroundings were quiet and I looked around and saw no one.

He took out his broken smartphone from his pocket and checked the time, and it was already after the 5th class bell had rang.

Lee Dae-hyun, who got the reaction he wanted from Ho-young, just ran into the classroom when the bell rang.

He was relieved to know that Lee Dae-hyun wasn't there and leaned his back against the wall. Only then did he hear the voices of the children being taught in the auditorium in Ho-young's ears.

"...no one cares."

There is a small soundproofing in the auditorium to prevent the sound of PE class from leaking out, but it is not perfect.

He must have clearly heard his own nauseous voice, but Hoyoung felt emotions rising inside him at the reality that no one had come.

Ho-young, who barely calmed the rising emotions, staggered his body and managed to return to the classroom.

"What did you do to come now? From now on, go fast."

"......sorry."

"Don't disturb class, take a seat."

The only thing that paid attention to Ho-young, who entered the classroom, was the teacher.

Even that wasn't a favor.

Gimpo International Airport, in front of the international arrivals hall gate.

On this day, unlike usual, Ho-young did not go home immediately after school was over, but was waiting for someone at the new airport next to him.

Before long, the arrival gate opened, and Ho-young was able to find the one waiting among the people exiting through it.

Guess that the other party also found Ho-young, he approached him with a big wave of his arm.

"Our ho! How have you been?"

"Yeah, I had a good time."

Ji-han Moon, who was not carrying a suitcase, wrapped an empty arm around Ho-young's shoulder and expressed her pleasure.

He returned to Korea for summer vacation.

"Yeah, this height difference is just right, Cancer."

"What are you talking about all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing. Let's go play sooner than later!"

"Aren't you going to leave your luggage at home?"

"You can untie it later! You're still wearing your school uniform."

Ji-han Moon, holding the suitcase with one hand and Ho-Young with the other, quickly left the airport.

After returning to Korea after a few months, he had so many things he wanted to do.

"Isn't Auntie before work?"

"Yeah, not yet."

"Hmm, then I'll put off seeing the aunt's face for the last time... First of all, the destination is Konoda! I'll show off my skills that I've accumulated over there!"

Ji-han Moon showed a freshness that would not be thought of as someone who just got off the plane, and from coin karaoke to the game center, he dragged Ho-young and his carrier around as if he was going to do all the games that boys of the same age could play within today. .

Still, the navel clock could not be ignored, so when it was evening time, I went to a nearby soup restaurant in search of rice.

"Oh, student. The store is small, so it's a bit difficult for such a large suitcase."

"Hehehe, please take a look this time. Instead, I'll order a lot! Even if I look like this, basically, I eat for two."

"If you say so..."

After asking the store owner's permission, Moon Ji-han and Ho-young took a seat at the very back of the store.

"Suddenly, what kind of soup restaurant is this? There are a lot of hamburger shops on the street."

"Hoya, have you forgotten where I came from? I've been tired of eating hamburgers!"

"Huh? Ah..., I was short on my thoughts."

"It's okay to know."

After waiting for a while, two bowls of beef head soup and a plate of sundae, which Ji-han Moon and Ho-young ordered, were placed in front of them.

Ji-han Moon, who had put as much leek as his taste, lifted the spoon a few times and opened his mouth as if he suddenly remembered it.

"Hey, hey."

"Tell me after you've swallowed it all."

"Gulp. You know, Hoya. I've been wondering for a while, but why are you wearing a cool tossie?"

"uh......?"

"You weren't wearing that."

Hoyoung's eyes trembled for a moment at Moon Ji-han's question.

Anu It was a brief moment of trembling, but Ji-han Moon could see Ho-yeong's eyes trembling.

"Ah, it's just a diversion. It's pretty trendy in our school, isn't it?"

"......okay?"

lie.

Seeing Hoyoung's expression on his face, Jihan Moon thought so, knowing that it was not polite, but because of his shaky feeling, he reached out and grabbed Hoyoung's arm and kicked his cool toe.

Then, Hoyoung's bruised arm, which had been hidden behind the cool toss, was revealed.

"...Hey, what are you doing?"

"......"

Ho-young could not answer Moon Ji-han's question.

Because Moon Ji-han's image of Kim Hee-ban overlapped, he did not open his mouth for fear that he would abandon himself like that when he knew that he was being bullied and that he would be harmed if he became close.

Whether Ho-young's thoughts were exposed, Moon Ji-han opened his mouth first.

"Something is said to be a sign of positivity... What's wrong with you?"

"......"

"...I don't know what you've been through. But I can tell you this one thing. I'm absolutely on your side and I'll never betray you. So let me help you."

At that moment, the figure of Kim Hee-ban that had been superimposed on Ji-han Moon disappeared.

Ho-young then confided all the story to Ji-han Moon with tears, as if the stone wall blocking the waterway collapsed.

Stories that Lee Ye-sook couldn't bring out either.

"...the XXXs. Hoya, no Seon Hoyoung, I'll pay the price for them."

"...probably not. I've reported it to the school district, but I came to school and just went back..."

"There's no way to do that to children like that. You have to bury them in the path you've taken. So I have a few questions..."

"Student over there."Ji-han Moon pulled out a notebook from his bag and was about to ask Ho-young a few questions when the store owner approached them.

"I think I've been sitting for too long. Can you please stop and stand up? We'll have to sell something."

At the store owner's words, I looked outside the store and saw a long line.

It seems that the house that I came into by chance turned into a restaurant.

"Ah, I'm sorry for this, so what should I do? I'll get up right away.

After paying for food, Moon Ji-han left the store with Ho-young, parked a suitcase nearby, took out a notebook, and asked the question again.

“Where was the high school you went to now? Was it Youngji High School?”

"Huh......."

"And I said that it was mainly in the back of the auditorium..."

"...Hey, Jihan-ah. What the hell are you doing?"

"What are you going to do?"

At Hoyoung's question, Jihan Moon folded the notebook.

"What should I do? I have to show the power of a student who went to study abroad to learn hacking. It's not that I stayed up all night doing homework for nothing. Just trust this hyung, because he'll take care of high school CCTV properly."

Ji-han Moon tried to swear at Ho-young, but he could not keep his promise to Ho-young.

* * *

It was the day after Moon Ji-han and Ho-young met.

"Son, are you going to see Jihan? Are you going to come in for dinner today?"

"Um, well? If that's the case, I'll call you. I'll go."

"Yeah, let's go."

Shortly after leaving the house after greeting Lee Ye-sook with a bright, sincere voice after a long time, Ho-young received a phone call.

It was Moon Ji-han's phone call.

-Hoya, where are you now?

"Ah, I'm still in front of the house. I just came out. Where are you?"

-me? I have about two stations left. Guess I'll arrive first. You know the cafe cafe inside the station? I'll be waiting there. Fufufufu, look forward to it, because I've been very thorough!

"......okay."

Ho-young was feeling very grateful to Moon Ji-han for doing this for herself.

It was the first favor he had ever received since he began being bullied, so his heart was bigger than ever.

He couldn't describe the feeling of loss he felt when he lost it.

As he got closer to his meeting place, the station, he could hear people murmur, and he could see long gray smoke rising from the direction he was heading.

'what......?'

"Did you hear? Someone set fire to the station."

"Oh my gosh...the people inside?"

"The lights aren't even out, how do you know that?"

Ho-young, who was heading to the station, started running at the fastest speed possible because of the conversation mixed with the surrounding noise.

'Maybe..., isn't it...?'

His disturbing thoughts kept popping up, but he struggled to deny them and headed to the station to check it out for himself.

A wall of people had been erected near the entrance to the station, and when I forcibly slipped through it, I saw the entrance of the station where black smoke was coming out.

Ho-young tried to call Ji-han Moon, but he did not answer the phone.

Anxious thoughts grew out of control.
