chapter 5
5 – Elementary School Students
“Hey, f*ck. Did you know I didn’t know that?
That’s how it was written..? I felt sorry for this f*cking, f*cking dog and looked at it…”
“…I’m not an orphan…”
The feeling of being stabbed with needles. I am not an orphan. Orphans are… In orphanages, and I’m in daycare.
Very long ago, when I asked the director what a nursery school meant- it was a place to temporarily protect and educate children like Yoo Seon-i.
That’s what I told you- so… That one day my real parents will show up- and bring me back..! I have mom and dad too..!
“I’m not an orphan…!”
“What the hell are you talking about? Hey, do you really want to search?!”
Taeyang pushed my chest. I lost my balance and fell to the floor… For some reason, tears came pouring out.
It’s not because I’m ashamed that my classmates found out that I’m growing up in an orphanage, and it’s not because I’m so upset that I was beaten up by a kid like that…
It’s just that I think that bastard is really right… Maybe my parents don’t exist in this world..? Because that’s what I thought…
“…This…This…!”
So I couldn’t stand it. It must be- if someone else said that, it was really… It felt like my mom and dad would become non-existent beings in this world.
I got up quickly and approached again. I don’t know how you fought I just thought that if I just stepped back from here, I would keep hearing that I was a child without parents.
At least I have to show you something here. Because I didn’t seem to hear any strange noises- I think I hit the face with my fist, whether it worked or not.
“Hey- they’re fighting over there…!”
“Isn’t he the best sun in our grade…?”
“By the way, who is he…? Yoo Seon-i…? Who is he…?”
“Uh- look over there, my nose is bleeding…?”
Really, I think he hit me too, but it didn’t hurt at all. I gnawed my teeth and focused all my attention on putting a punch in the face of that bastard who cursed at my mom and dad…
As much as possible, one unit. Two cars. And three…! I feel my soft nose being crushed and crushed by my fist..!
And just one. You can see that it waddles sideways like a duck with each hit.
What’s really strange is that my opponent hits me too, but it doesn’t hurt that much. It usually hurts much less than the hyungs hitting me with their fists without the teachers knowing..!
“Oh, that thing is falling over…?”
“Get on…! Wow!”
I slammed my fist into his chin, and he stumbled and collapsed. And… I jump on top, and punch again. Slap a lot in the face-
If I hit you with my left fist, your face will turn to the right, and if I hit you with my right fist, your face will turn to the left-
Every time you hit it with your fist, it bleeds, and something white comes out..!
“- Yaya! Teacher!! Teacher..!!!!”
“Yoo Seon-ah..! What the hell are you doing here..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The homeroom teacher, who usually doesn’t say much to us, became completely contemplative… And started yelling at me.
Only then, I was able to look around. In addition to my classmates, other classmates and teachers were staring at me with arms crossed and serious faces, and the sun below me stopped talking at some point…
I just looked at the sky with blank eyes.
“…I didn’t know you were such a violent kid…”
“Should I keep taking care of this child…? I should transfer him to another school…!”
-Gossip gossip.
The teachers were talking about something, but it didn’t seem like a good story.
“… Wideline has no fault ..! Sun … I’m a bad guy ..!”
“That’s right..! That’s complete rubbish..! The other day, I saw him smoking cigarettes with middle school students, and he hit a lot of other kids too..!”
“My padding was also taken away..! Seriously.. That’s pure evil..!”
And my classmates sided with me. And then, just what kind of school violence investigation…?
I didn’t go to class for several days, and I just kept writing it… I called one by one and had a meeting with the principal. For a while it was.
As time passes, the homeroom teacher’s face turns blue… Just around the time Taeyang hears the news that he received an envelope from his parents… The former homeroom teacher transfers schools. .
A new homeroom teacher came to visit, and he said in passing, that from now on, the former homeroom teacher may not be able to attend school anymore.
2)
Now that I am in the 6th grade of elementary school, I just don’t know. If you say it’s normal, it’s normal. Some of the kids knew I came from daycare, but I didn’t bother to say it.
Because, just. All the kids at school saw Taeyang Kim beaten up.
-Carrying back
When I heard my swearing, I hit the desk with my fist, and my face became completely contemplative, so I couldn’t say anything and just trembled.
But that doesn’t mean I got any financial benefit from them. To be honest, all students are the same whether they have parents or not – they enjoy playing soccer and just playing basketball – how nice it is to play like that..?
Good is good… I am good enough.
“…Hello”
“Okay, hello! Go read a book…?”
Perhaps, since that day, Jin-ah seems to have benefited most often. After that day, there weren’t many kids who bullied Jin-ah.
-No, Yoo Seon-ah…! How many times do you use shampoo a day..? Why is there no shampoo or body wash when I go to you…!
And just in case I didn’t know, if there was anything left over at the facility, like body wash or shampoo, I just took it and gave it to Jina.
First of all, if you don’t wash, you’ll get sick. Jin-a knows how to do her own laundry these days, so she doesn’t smell strange, and she liked that.
She does smell a lot of laundry soap, but it’s still better than sweat..!
“Yes..!”
“Yeah… It’s interesting. I see. Is there such a thing as an interesting book..?! I’ll have to read it too..!”
Shall we go on a treasure hunt today? It’s more fun than I thought, even if Jin and I are in different classes after the 3rd year, we read books together in the library or go home from school together.
Jin-ah still doesn’t go to school well, and… She dozed off during class, so she didn’t have any friends to eat with… So I should take care of her like this too… Hmm. .
…No, we can’t play house like we used to, yeah… We’re already in 6th grade.
“…Hey Yoo Seon-ah, I have a question for you…”
“Uh”
“Where are you going to go to middle school…?”
“I’m just going to do this because it’s closest to the elementary school…?”
“You mean Hanbit Middle School..?”
“There is no middle school other than that. I like the one close to the school.”
“…So…?”
While reading, she was surprised when Jina suddenly asked about her going to middle school.
It’s just.. That’s right-
“But Jina, can you graduate from elementary school…?”
“…It’s close, but it’s possible..!”
“Uh… I’m glad…”
“I… Worked really hard…”
“That…Is that…?”
3)
-Hanbit Middle School
I became a middle school student. Her chest is tickling and trembling…?! Can I wear a school uniform now…?
First of all, I go to school in plain clothes, and later the teachers collectively send notices about school uniforms, and from then on I can wear one, so I wear plain clothes for now.
I hope you wear school uniform soon, then you don’t have to wear plain clothes..! I don’t have any clothes, so I’m just changing clothes every two days…!
“…I think it’s a relief to be in the same class… Yoo Seon-ah…!”
“You came here too”
“…So I guess I’m lucky…!”
A long time ago, there was a saying that even middle school entered after looking at grades- I think it’s fortunate that it’s different from the past and now.
Perhaps in the old days, um… The school that kids like Jina who skip school can go to must be a really bad school.
Honestly, this is just- I hear a lot of bad rumors, but…
Still…! What..! It’s ok because it’s close to home..!
Even though she was a middle school student- Jina still didn’t go to school well.
The teachers also cared about Jin-ah at first – but since she became her later, she seemed to have gotten tired of it and gave up altogether.
Still, there are more days that come out than days that don’t come out. Isn’t that what happened…?
“…You have to pay attention to hair regulations and things like that…! Growing your hair like this all the time…! Hey, tie it up a bit…!”
“…What is this..?”
“It’s a hair tie..!”
“Passed by. Picked it up.”
“Uh… Yu Seon-ah… Thank you…”
No matter how much it is, if I go around with her hair tied up like a legendary hometown, I think Jin-ah’s bad image will be further cut, so I gave her a hair tie…
“Hey, you know we’ll have to buy school uniforms in a little while”
“School…School uniform…!”
“Tell me honestly, do you have money to buy..?”
–
I sighed at the obvious reaction.
That’s right, Jina… Is a single-breasted gentleman. Shouldn’t she be called a lady…? This is really… I just asked the director for a favor, so- I just… Barely got it.
It was really hard to answer the director’s question about why… You need women’s clothes.
“Hey, don’t worry.”
First of all, no matter how well you do in school, you must have a school uniform. How could I ask the director for one more female school uniform…?
-No, what is he talking about..?! Yoo Seon-ah, why do you need a girl’s school uniform…?!
Why the hell…?! I don’t understand Yoo Seon’s request…! The other day, they said they needed girls’ clothes… Now again…? What school uniform..?!
– No..! It’s because I have a friend I really need…! He could just starve to death without me…!!!!! Seriously, Director, please help me one more time…!!!!!!!!!!
-Okay. Okay…! So stop pulling on your pants Uh-uh! All the clothes are getting stretched..!!!!
I got a suit. If I give it to Jina today, she will like it…?!
… I’m sure Jin-ah, she didn’t say this at first-… She lives in a huge house. She was just a rich girl. She thought it was like that, but she never imagined she was going to be a poor girl begging for clothes from a kid in an institution.
So I have a lot of questions about Jin-a’s family history, but I’m a bit shy about asking. She thought it over to herself, so I came to the conclusion…
Isn’t Jina her housekeeper?
That, well… You know, like the housekeeper from Cinderella. I just live in some kind of attic and get bullied by the bad landlord.
The days she can’t come to school are because she’s doing housework.
…But, to be called a housekeeper, I think I taught her how to wash her hands, how to wash her hair, how to wash her hair… Bath supplies and stuff like that.
If you’re a housekeeper, shouldn’t you know how to do all those things…?
What the hell…?
I don’t know… Well, as she passed the time thinking about that and that – before she knew it, it was about time for her to return to the facility.
Well, it was yesterday that Jina didn’t go to school, and it’s not like she’s going to be today-I just assumed that was the case and accepted it. And she watches the news in the evening… While she watches the drama…
