When I Returned, a High School Romantic Comedy Began - Chapter 43



43. Midterm exam (6)

“…”

On the way home after school.

Nayeon sighed and took heavy steps.

It was easy to understand why she, who had always been so confident, suddenly became as timid as she used to be.

[That b*tch was so f*cking goofy, but now that Kim Chang-min is gone, it gets quiet.]

After Changmin attacked Joo Woon, he got hit and was admitted to the hospital.

People who had a grudge against him, who always showed violence regardless of whether he was a friend or a friend, were busy pouring out curses.

Nayeon, who was under Changmin’s shadow, could not avoid its influence.

‘You said I was fooling you?’

It never happened like that.

Even if he cursed, he only brought it up when Changmin did something unsightly, and he hardly ever talked to other kids.

When they heard that they were Changmin’s cousins, they just approached him, trying to get closer to him somehow.

Nayeon swears that she never remembers doing anything that would make anyone look hateful.

‘I guess they’re just criticizing me because they think it’s time to do it because Kim Chang-min isn’t around.’

In the first place, it was something they couldn’t say if Changmin came back, so the only person left to vent their anger on was Park Na-yeon, who was always treated as a cousin by those around them.

That was the reason they criticized Nayeon.

‘I do not want to go to school.’

Although I don’t swear in front of people, the back-biting that was so confident that I heard it reminded me of my elementary school days when I was always bullied.

The confident woman was gone, and a slender girl who was afraid to go to class on weekday mornings walked down the street.

She was rushing home, thinking she wanted to get home and get some rest.

I heard a voice calling her from the dark park next door.

“Hey, Park Na-yeon.”

“…”

Recently, she, who had been criticizing herself with all kinds of lies even though she was the worst in class, called her out with a big smile.

“I’m drinking now. Do you want to drink too?”

“… No, I’m fine.”

Although Nayeon smoked from the beginning, she never drank alcohol.

There was no need to hang out with kids outside of school.

It was obvious that even if I had gone, I would just be wasting my time telling useless stories.

There was no one who could notice that he didn’t fit in anyway.

however.

“Hey, I drink it all the time. Please drink it with me at least once~”

Not now.

“Don’t break the mood… okay?”

There was no shade to protect Nayeon.

She is smiling on the outside, but her eyes are sharp.

Nayeon said quietly, her hands shaking slightly as she recalled the trauma she experienced in elementary school.

“… okay.”

In the end, Nayeon follows her into the park.

Soju bottles and a few bags of snacks scattered around.

And students who seem to be already drunk.

I wanted to run away immediately at the sight, but I couldn’t move.

“Hey, what’s going on Park Na-yeon?”

“You’re welcome because you’re in!”

The paper cup was grabbed before Nayeon could reject it.

A lot of soju was poured into it.

She said hesitantly, looking at the soju in the paper cup.

“I can’t drink alcohol…”

“In times like this, you can just drink it!”

The atmosphere heated up when Nayeon said she had never drank alcohol before.

“The first drink is one shot!”

“…”

The members of the group who were seated were busy encouraging her.

However, Nayeon hesitates at seeing alcohol for the first time.

The memory of getting drunk and blacking out from a glass of soju given to her by her father when she was young kept making her hesitate.

“I really can’t drink…”

“Ah… Park Na-yeon is so skinny?”

Iljin members sigh at the steamy remarks.

The cold gaze gradually settled on her.

Those eyes once again reminded me of the pain I experienced in elementary school.

“Nayeon, are you going to keep breaking the mood?”

The sight of her putting pressure on herself from the side made Nayeon tremble.

“Oh~ Park Na-yeon~ You’re so f*cking cool!”

Feeling the fear of the past coming back, I drank soju from a paper cup with trembling hands.

However, Nayeon was too weak to endure the disgusting bitter taste of soju.

“Woof!”

She spits out soju, unable to swallow her spirit due to the disgust that hits her nasal passages.

The kids around them were busy bursting into laughter when they saw the floor soaked with soju.

“Was this really your first time drinking it?”

“It’s so f*cking funny.”

She couldn’t come to her senses despite the laughter mocking her from the side.

She was so drunk from just one drink that she drank half of the soju in the paper cup, so of course it was difficult for her to come to her senses.

“Puhup… are you okay?”

Women who make fun of her and pretend to take care of her without being at all worried.

My eyes shake with a smile more disgusting than soju.

Less than a minute after drinking it, it was difficult to come to my senses due to my shaking vision.

“Gwae, it’s okay…”

Nayeon managed to get her bearings and sit down.

However, he could not hide that his face was turning bright red and his eyes were becoming hazy.

The group smiled at her and poured soju into paper cups again.

“I don’t have to drink anymore…”

“What are you talking about? I just spilled it, so I have to drink it again.”

Everyone knew that he was already drunk, but there was no mercy.

No, because Nayeon was in such a state, I forced her to drink even more.

They never stopped because it was a rare sight for her, who always had a cool demeanor and always had an arrogant attitude in front of others, to show an indecent act.

I wasn’t scared that Changmin, who had been bothering everyone until now, would come back.

‘That bastard is over now.’

The fact that he was beaten one-on-one by a junior was enough to undermine all the authority he had at school.

The group, who had no reason to begrudge such a guy, were not afraid of him coming back.

‘If you say hell, even Daguri.’

Even after being hospitalized, I would have had a cast on my arm anyway.

Changmin would have no choice if they were to be treated like that and dumped as a group.

Because of this, they were no longer afraid of Changmin.

“Drink it quickly?”

“…”

Nayeon had nowhere to retreat.

Although he made eye contact with a passerby passing through a deserted park, he ignored everyone and walked away from the park, as if they were adults with a sense of justice who could save him.

‘…’

The inside is already burning.

I had no idea what would happen if I passed that disgusting soju down my throat again.

Still, she had to put the paper cup to her mouth.

That was the time when Nayeon gave up everything and held a paper cup close to her face with a red face.

Weeenn!

“What the f*ck!”

“The police are here, jump out!”

A sudden siren sound.

The group of people who were sitting leisurely all ran away in perfect order to the exit at the back of the park.

“Hey, police…”

Nayeon wakes up on the floor of the park, trying her best to escape.

I tried to get up from my seat, but because I was already drunk, I couldn’t control myself properly and stumbled.

The moment he looked at the backs of the group of people who had abandoned him and ran away, he took steps to somehow catch up.

“ah.”

I stumbled on the bare floor and lost my balance.

Right before I hit my forehead on the seesaw in front of me.

She was so drunk that she couldn’t even close her eyes and just fell.

But it didn’t hit.

“Oh! “I almost got into big trouble.”

Someone grabbed her and pulled her back.

Nayeon cannot control her body properly and is pulled by a pulling force.

The place we arrived was in the arms of someone whose face we did not know.

She raised her face with difficulty and checked the other person.

“are you okay?”

“…”

It was Jaune who had sent her cousin to the hospital.

“I’m tired…”

Joo-un returns home after studying late.

As I kept trying to use my brain that I wasn’t using, I lost all my strength.

‘By the way, I couldn’t talk to Park Chae-rin today either.’

The two are still in a cold war.

Now I’m full of frustration and can’t find the right answer.

‘He probably needs time to organize his thoughts, too.’

Still, this situation wasn’t all that bad.

Because she was always around, I always received burdensome looks from people around me.

Now that I have failed, school life is much easier than usual.

The frequency of apes around me being abusive has also decreased.

I was able to concentrate fully even when studying.

‘…But isn’t it a bit much to continue to live like this and pretend not to know?’

It’s only comfortable for a while.

If you keep passing each other in the same class, there will eventually be times when you run into each other.

Even back then, I wasn’t that cool of a person to try to ignore it.

‘Okay, I need to focus on my studies, so let’s talk after the exam.’

Contrary to the anxious Chae-rin, Joo-woon becomes carefree.

As I was walking through the dark park, thinking about a suitable solution, I heard a loud gagging sound coming from inside.

“Woof!”

“Was this really your first time drinking it?”

“It’s so f*cking funny.”

Curiosity aroused, Jaune stopped in the commotion and quietly watched them from behind the park wall so as not to be noticed.

‘You guys with big livers, you drink openly in the park.’

It’s a type of group that wouldn’t be good to be involved with anyway.

Jaune tried to quickly walk away from the park.

“I don’t have to drink anymore…”

“What are you talking about? I just spilled it, so I have to drink it again.”

Something was strange.

Even when the woman, who was gagging from just drinking, said she couldn’t drink any more, the people around her didn’t stop and poured soju into her paper cup.

The expression on the face of the woman who received the soju with him continues to harden.

“Drink it quickly?”

“…”

Contrary to the noisy atmosphere just now, the group has calmed down.

Jaune looked at that and realized that they were not normal friends.

“…”

He immediately opened his cell phone, went to a video site, and searched for police car siren in the search bar.

‘Because I’m a high school student, I’ll run away as soon as I hear the siren.’

A video of the siren sound with the sound turned up to maximum.

“What the f*ck!”

“The police are here, jump out!”

The effect was amazing.

The group of people who had gathered together in groups of twos and threes disappeared immediately, like a flock of cockroaches facing a light.

The girl who was being forced to drink also panicked and tried to run away.

But she was already drunk, so she walked unsteadily.

‘I’m going to fall like that.’

Jaune walked quickly in case Nayeon fell.

Sure enough, she fell toward the seesaw with only one or two steps left.

‘crazy!’

A dangerous situation where you could hit your head right away.

Jaune quickly reached out for her soft arm.

“Oh! “I almost got into big trouble.”

Jooun pulls the arm he barely managed to grab into his arms.

The smell of alcohol and a soft shampoo scent, a combination I had never smelled before, passed my nose.

“are you okay?”

I was a bit repulsed by the makeup that didn’t suit me, as if I had stolen it from my mom.

The red face and hazy eyes under the streetlight were quite fascinating.
