Chapter 13 – Model Student Seo Tae-hyuk??? #3

Due to the test preparations, An Eun-young’s dark circles became even darker .

Park Sung-kwang’s face was a mess due to an entirely different reason .

‘How much alcohol did he drink?’

Tae-hyuk and An Eun-young was in the classroom after school . Aside from them, only Park Sung-kwang was left .

An Eun-young was still studying hard . Park Sung-kwang was lying face-down on his desk .

Tae-hyuk was pretending to do homework while keeping an eye on both people .

It was at that moment . The door opened and one of Park Sung-kwang’s friends, Kim Jin-soo entered .

However, it wasn’t Park Sung-kwang but An Eun-young that he had business with .

"Class President! Teacher-nim has a task for you so go to the second floor of the old teacher’s building . ”

“ . . . H-Huh? Y-yes . U-understood . "

The old teacher’s building was where special activities classes were held .

Unlike the rest of the school where students stayed behind after school was over, the old teacher’s building was normally empty at this time .

Then why was Teacher-nim looking for her in such a place .

The listening Tae-hyuk felt suspicious .

“He wanted your help to organize something . Go quickly . ”

An Eun-young nodded and left the classroom .

Kim Jin-soo then approached Park Sung-kwang, who was lying on his desk, and said .

“Sung-kwang . I did it . ”

“Uh, yes . Ah, I had way too much to drink yesterday . Damn . Then shall we start the plan?”

Jin-soo pointed to where Tae-hyuk was sitting with uneasy eyes .

"What about him? He saw all of it . ”

Park Sung-kwang shook his head as he glanced at Tae-hyuk, who looked like he had no interest .

“You can ignore him . Anyway, he is a guy who gave up on life . If he notices something then I can just pay him some money . ”

"Is that so?”

“Then let’s go . ”

Park Sung-kwang left the classroom, followed by Kim Jin-soo .

Seo Tae-hyuk’s eyes shone as he pretended to study hard .

‘Hoh . Look at those children . ’

He had found a clue to the crime that he had been searching for .

Tae-hyuk followed behind the two people at a certain distance .

After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at their destination .

The old teacher’s building .

It looked exactly like the set of a horror movie .

‘Wah . . . This atmosphere makes it feel like a ghost will pop out . ’

It was so creepy that he didn’t want to enter it in the day . There was the smell of chemicals from the chemistry room . There were creepy biological specimens in containers of formalin .

Even the plaster casts in the art room gave off an ominous feeling with the sun went down .

'Can’t a full movie be filmed here?’

It was a place where even a man would scream in fear .

Buzz buzz!

In the silence, the sound of voices could be heard .

'Were they going to the second floor?’

Tae-hyuk carefully walked to the place where An Eun-young and Park Sung-kwang’s group was, making sure not to be noticed .

Creak!

Despite being as careful as possible, sounds were still heard from the old building .

‘This isn’t a school horror experience . ’

As he grew closer, he could hear a certain voice .

"I don’t understand why you dislike it . Isn’t this a good deal for Class President?”

Tae-hyuk arrived at the place where Park Sung-kwang’s voice could be heard . He leaned forward and observed the situation .

Park Sung-kwang was excitedly talking with someone .

“B-But . . . ”

"But what? You are being ridiculous . ”

"I-I . . . I have to be 1st . ”

“It is the same for me . Don’t you know how upset my father is? There is no such thing as 2nd place for politicians . They are either elected or defeated . So if I want to become a politician, I have to get 1st place . What the heck? That is discipline . ”

“I-If you study harder then . . . ”

"That is the problem! The 1st place classmate is someone who studies 20 hours a day so what can I do? Therefore, let’s do something good for each other . Show me your answer sheet the day after tomorrow . Then get one question wrong . I will be in 1st place . You will be in 2nd . Isn’t that good? One million won . No, five million won . ”

"I-I don’t want m-money . ”

Kwang! Park Sung-kwang punched the wall next to An Eun-young .

Tae-hyuk bit his lip as he listened to the conversation .

‘That’s it . The reason why he gets good grades despite playing all day . ’

Park Sung-kwang spent money to cheat on all the tests .

It was at that moment .

Brr!

The Demon Revealing Mirror, that hadn’t moved for a week, finally reacted .

[Crime Skill: Spying has been learnt . ]

-You can see your opponent's belongings and stats .

-The criteria to fully learn it hasn’t been met yet .

-It has been registered in the temporary skills window .

‘Spying?’

He could see the information of the desired target .

Just like Voice Modulation, it was a skill with endless utilization .

'What the hell is Robbery then? What the heck? A landmine skill?’

Park Sung-kwang was cheating . He was using indecent methods to do it .

Five big men were surrounding a small girl and intimidating her .

“It really doesn’t make sense! Jin-sso . Didn’t I tell you to do some research on Class President? Tell me how to make her listen? Is it not enough money? Does she want more? 10 million won?”

“ . . . . . . ”

An Eun-young was tearful since the atmosphere made it seem like violence would erupt at any moment .

However, she didn’t accept Park Sung-kwang’s offer .

"Well, there is a reason that Class President needs to keep her 1st place . ”

"What on earth? Tell me the reason . ”

Kim Jin-soo pulled out a notebook and started reading the contents written there .

"It was really hard to find this . . . ”

“I understand . 200?”

Kim Jin-soo replied with a big smile .

“Yes . Thank you! Then I will tell you . Class President’s mother is in hospital for a blood cancer . What was it? Leukemia? Anyway, it is a condition where it is unknown if she will see tomorrow . Therefore, Class President made a promise with her mother . ”

"What?”

"She would study really hard and get 1st place in the school . Her mother should work hard to get treatment as well . "

“Puhaha! How ludicrous . Isn’t it crazy? A last resort? Does she think her mother isn’t going to die? Don’t be like this . Class President . Let’s agree on 10 million won . You will need a lot of money for the funeral costs . Shouldn’t you plan in advance?”

"U-uck, uwaaaaah!”

An Eun-young eventually burst out crying .

Park Sung-kwang cried out with annoyance .

"Ah, I'm going crazy . It really doesn’t make sense . But Class President, do you want to know something? Your mother’s life support device . What will happen if I unplug that cord? Aren’t you curious?”

"U-uck . . . N-No . P-Please don’t . I-I’ll do it . I'll do it so p-please . . . ”

“Yes, good . Ah right, it will be troublesome if you spread this around . So I’ll need some evidence to make Class President stay silent . Jin-soo, did you bring the camera?”

“Yes . ”

"Now . Shall we have fun with a photo shoot?"

Park Sung-kwang laughed happily .

Tae-hyuk quietly used a skill .

[Voice Modulation has been used . ]

-You can directly imitate the voice of Jung Nam-ho .

Tae-hyuk yelled out with Jung Nam-ho’s voice .

"These children . What are you doing that you haven’t gone home yet?"

Park Sung-kwang was surprised .

"Hey, you jerk . I told you not to be tailed! What are you doing?”

"Uh, t-this is strange . . . There was clearly no one . ”

“Fuck . Let’s go!”

"What about Class President?”

“Leave her . Fuck . I’ll need to ask my father for more money to buy her silence . ”

Park Sung-kwang disappeared into the darkness of the old teacher’s building .

“Sob . . . Sob . . . T-Teacher-nim . . . ”

An Eun-young was sitting on the floor crying .

Tae-hyuk scratched his head as he approached An Eun-young .

"Did you think I was Teacher-nim? Sorry . It is Seo Tae-hyuk . ”

“ . . . ?”

Tae-hyuk first apologized to An Eun-young for the magic incident .

"That unbecoming incident . I’m really sorry . ”

“ . . . Huh? . . . . Yes . ”

“Really . ”

Tae-hyuk emphasized it again .

“ . . . By the way, why did you save me?”

An Eun-young was surprised to see a person she had never expected to intervene .

"I actually wanted to apologize so I followed you in secret . Then I became witness by chance . Something like that?”

Following her to apologize?

Moreover, he saved her .

An Eun-young realized that she was mistaken about the young man called Seo Tae-hyuk .

If he hadn’t rescued her then she would have clearly suffered due to Park Sung-kwang’s group .

In addition, Tae-hyuk had seen everything that Park Sung-kwang tried to do to An Eun-young .

Even so, he did not say one word about it .

She felt so grateful .

He didn’t ask if she was okay and just stretched out his hand .

An Eun-young grabbed Tae-hyuk’s hand and got up .

The trembling in her body started to calm down .

"F-For saving me, t-thank you . . . By the way . . . Did you hear?”

"Well . Yes . ”

"W-What are you going to do now?”

An Eun-young’s judgment was quick . She understood the whole situation .

Once Park Sung-kwang realized that he had been fooled by Seo Tae-hyuk, he would strike back .

Tae-hyuk exclaimed like he suddenly thought of something .

“Ah . Now I understand . ”

“Eu? Huh? What?"

"No . Remember the other day when I caught a cold? Class President was helping me . At the time, I thought Park Sung-kwang was glaring at me . But he was actually looking at you . "

"There was something like that . . . ?”

"In fact, I thought he liked me . When I didn’t look at him, his affection turned into hate . Well . Isn’t it cool that the mysterious had been unravelled?”

“ . . . . . . ”

An Eun-young stared at Seo Tae-hyuk with a dumbfounded expression .

How could Tae-hyuk be like this?

He had become the target of Park Sung-kwang who had enormous power in the school . Didn’t he understand?

An Eun-young formed tight fists . She didn’t want the person who helped her to get hurt .

"Ah right . Then what will I do now?”

“Yes . Actually, I’m a little worried about you . . . ”

"He thinks he is a politician just because his dad is one . I need to let him know that even politicians can be pierced by bamboo spears . ”

"B-Bamboo spears?”

“Yes . Class President should just drink soda and watch . ”

Tae-hyuk laughed .

Even though it wasn’t a dependable face . Why did she feel this sense of relief?

An Eun-young’s face turned red the moment she realized why .
