In Daegu's rich, vivid, and colorful attractions stood one of the most traditional boarding schools in all of Southeast Asia. An institution represented by grace and honor, Keimyung University (KMU) is the school all parents aspire their children to get accepted into after finishing high school. It's academic record of excellence can almost compete with the Ivy League schools in the US. That fact alone is enough to convince ambitious, affluent, and influential wealthy families of Korea to send their kids to KMU.
For that matter, it is sufficient to say that studying there comes with good benefits: Fame, for instance is likely to happen especially when a student has stellar grades. Even better if he or she is a member of a school organization like The Blaring Post.
One notable student, who is recognized even outside school grounds for having such smarts and potential, is Lisa.
But like how other things are placed in the world, the same rules are applied in the University. Where from the beginning of time, there was darkness and light; In KMU, if there's such a philanthropic org such as TBP (The Blaring Post), there's also a rebellious group the school is trying so hard to put on Damage Control.
Smarmyths.
An underground organization that goes against the current administration, going so far as having their own little protests: Parading naked men are seen every now and then in the school grounds to display their utmost mockery of the school's vision.
An audacious but insensitive group whose common goal is nothing but to create chaos by humiliation. A ludicrous group ruled by KMU's most ingenious student, Kim Taehyung.
- Taehyung -
"You got her?" My voice sounding low with conviction, my heart racing in excitement. What we're about to do makes my thirst for revenge even more pressing.
Imagining it only shoots a shock of rapture down my groin. The corners of my mouth tugged in a smile.
"It's like what you asked for. No blood spilled, no hands, no drugs. Easy peasy." Jungkook's static voice answered back. "She's been glaring like crazy at me though." My right hand man chuckled deeply, entertained by our first plan of execution.
That's expected. Little Miss Sunshine is nothing like what everyone's expecting of her.
Friends with everyone, smiles at everyone - I won't even be shocked if she kisses ass for everyone. Because to all of them, she's the perfect girl who wouldn't dare do anything less than absolute.
Her value alone in this very solid institution is too high to taint on.
My dear Lalisa Manoban grew up to be so beautiful. I can't wait to break her.
"I'm near. Keep her entertained for me." I ended the call smelling the sweet scent of victory coming close.
My feet led me to the west side of the campus where some of my schoolmates were wise enough to change their direction in expense to avoid me.
It's no secret. I've always been viewed as the bad guy. But after that nosy overachieving group she was a part of, The Blaring Post, confirmed my involvement with Smarmyths (most especially the exposure of my being "the heinous group's elusive leader"); I've been carrying the title like it's permanently inked on my face.
Maybe if that was revealed earlier on it would've been a big deal, but I'm in my senior year now. I'm already done recruiting and expanding my network that it would be futile to ask for war.
