I just want to be a normal student! ⚔️

Chapter 23 - What it is like to have such a 'classmate-like bastard' ⚔️

***

"Life is, sure, tiring."

Kim Rok Soo wasn't sure about other people's lives, but, when it comes to his, he could actually describe it in the short sentence like that.

Now that you think about it, how would you feel when people constantly find fault on you and, on a whole different level, start shit with you?

Kim Rok Soo dislikes it very much.

No.

To be more specific, he hates this kind of development.

It was annoying. Crazily annoying.

Of how they messed with his locker, and told the teacher that they didn't know anything.

Of how they stole his precious notebooks to throw it away, or tear it apart, but saying that he might drop them somewhere else.

Of how they secretly poured soy sauce or chili sauce to ruin his food's flavor so that he would starve for a lunch.

'Hah. They should be glad that I'm too tired to take care of them.'

If Kim Rok Soo hadn't been exhausted from studying too much, he would have made sure that they wouldn't be able to pull another prank.

Studying was 'currently' an incredibly important role for him. A role that he couldn't slack off 'no matter what'.

That was why he had no time to worry about other things.

First, he needed to come to school in the morning dawn, listen to the teacher, take notes for the necessary parts, repeat all of the above one session after another, and then, go back home at evening dusk.

After that, he had to prepare himself for private tuitions at home, from evening until night time.

Later, after he ate dinner, he had to complete his schedule to review tons and tons of lessons before the next day's classes.

Of course, that wasn't all.

Thanks to the 'lovely' classmates of his, he, now, had to wake up even earlier than usual, just to cook some meals for his lunch.

Because his parents seemed busy and, were working day and night, Kim Rok Soo decided to be quiet about his schoolmates' mistreatment toward him and had to hide the fact that he need to bring homemade lunchbox instead of the high-class meal at his prestigious school.

He thought it wasn't a big deal. So, there was no need to trouble his parents.

Hmm...

To be honest, it 'was once' a big deal for him. But then, he's quite gotten used to it now, so, there was no need to bring it up again.

It wasn't like anyone would care about his life at school anyway.

Oh, no, it's not like that.

What he meant to say is...

He did not want to mention it in front of his parents because they would likely to force him out of school if he did.

Everyone knows. Even the cleaner who comes to the house twice a week also knows about how affectionate and compassionate his parents are.

That.. no matter how busy they were, they still cared and observed his academic result from time to time. They even made sure that Kim Rok Soo wouldn't lack anything including study materials and allowances.

Just..

It was Kim Rok Soo himself who actually refused it.

Of course, it's not the allowance part xD
