The Road We Walk On

43 | Break Down

Chungah High School, Seoul

The final semester was approaching for the students, which meant National Examinations. Most of the students at Chungah High, would need to sit for the National Exam despite applying for arts or music related subjects. Unless they already had a position waiting, everyone was studying hard for the exam. Along a long corridor, whispers could be heard.

Yah, yah. How come Ha Eunbyeol is here?

Right? Why is she studying at our school?

I heard the reason is because she is still applying for SNU despite being disqualified. Our school is one of the main testing sites for those who wish to apply to the music major at SNU. So she is here.

Why is she all alone in the room?

Yah! With what happened to Rona, do you seriously want to be in the same room as her? Don't forget, even though she did not actually kill Rona she still hurt her. Plus remember her crime was initially covered up by her father.

She really has such a thick skin to be coming back here.

Eunbyeol could hear every single word that was whispered, the corridors were quiet so it meant that even a whisper could easily be heard. Eunbyeol buried her face further into the table. She wanted to just dig a hole and sink into it. Of all places, she was here at Chungah High. She desperately needed to get away, she got up but before she could leave the room, she was stopped.

Eunbyeol-ah, where are you going?

Oh nowhere Mrs Jin. I just need to go to the toilet.

Oh ok, come let me walk with you.

Eunbyeol was seriously frustrated, Mrs Jin was relentless, everywhere she went she would follow. Mrs Jin stopped at the toilet and ushered Eunbyeol inside. I will be out here waiting for you.

Eunbyeol walked in, she was washing her hands when two other students walked in. The moment they walked in, they just stared at Eunbyeol in shock. They quickly ran out of the toilet.

Yah, we should go somewhere else.

Right right, if not she could kill us next.

Eunbyeol hearing those words again, she looked in the mirror and slowly she was beginning to have a breakdown. She stormed out of the toilet and headed for the classroom in which she used to come to.

What do you all know about me? You keep calling me a killer and that I would harm you. Did you ever think that this school and you all created the situation as well? Yes, my parents all went to jail, I went to Juive. I am trying to pick up my life but you all keep dragging me back into this hell hole!

Eunbyeol kept on rambling and rambling, she just wouldn't stop. Suddenly, she fainted.

Eunbyeol! Mrs Jin came running after her, Eunbyeol was on the floor it almost looked like she was having a seizure. The teacher in the classroom ran over to help, someone called an ambulance, hurry.

Jenny fished out her phone and quickly dialled for an ambulance.

Sigh, someone would go to great lengths to paint themselves as the victim. Seokkyung commented as she just stared at the crowd surrounding Eunbyeol.

Indeed, just like someone else I know.

What do you mean Lee Minhyeok?!

Exactly, what I said. You too like to paint yourself as the victim. One day, perhaps that is your fate. Minhyeok pointed to Eunbyeol as he walked away from Seokkyung.

What victim, who says I do that!
