meeting you ➳ beomryu

chapter 1 ↬ bow to the boss

The young man wearing a white shirt is bathed in the sunlight coming through the window. Choi Beomgyu ought to be young and vibrant, but his face is filled with an unfathomable sense of loneliness. His cheeks are hidden by the high cap, which keeps him out of sight. Beomgyu's parents' phone call revealed that the adolescent had psychological issues, and today marks the first day he is returning to the classroom.

In contrast to the lonely Choi Beomgyu, Shin Ryujin had a typical student morning, hurrying to have breakfast and head off to school on the loving orders of her grandparents. Beomgyu is in the car and Ryujin is running outside.

Under Kai's cover, Ryujin managed to go through Teacher Joon's school gate, but as a result, she ran into Beomgyu full of arms.

❝Well... I'm sorry. Are you alright? Are you hurt? I'm so sorry. I didn't see you. Did you hurt? Do you need to see a doctor? Do you?❞ Ryujin apologized and asked him questions. Beomgyu didn't respond to her; he simply stood up, put on his cap, and walked away.

They had never met before this. Ryujin was first surprised and curious by Beomgyu's apathy and seclusion.

The late Ryujin was helped only a little bit by Kai to escape, but when Beomgyu entered the school gate and followed Ryujin's eyes, she still fell into Teacher Joon's clutches.

❝You're late and climbed over the wall. How many times have I told you? Don't over the wall what if you fall down?❞ Mr. Joon reprimanded.

❝Mr. Joon, you misunderstood me. My stomach hurts. I'm looking for a restroom.❞ Ryujin remarked

❝The restroom is in the teaching building when was the restroom fixed at the school gate? You can show me around. Come on.❞

❝No. No... Think it over. If I'm going to be late, how come I don't have a bag on my shoulder?❞

❝The schoolbag should be in the classroom.❞

❝It's in the classroom.❞

❝Well... I'm waiting for you here. Go and get your bag.❞ After listening to Mr. Joon Ryujin's grin faded. Teacher Joon was no longer duped by Ryujin's excuses after she had already left her schoolbag at the JinHit shop and seemed to be passing by as a result of the absence of the bag.

For being late for review in front of the school, Ryujin received punishment, but Beomgyu, who was also late but received no punishment, infuriated her. Not all injustices come together. It so happened that Beomgyu was placed in Ryujin's class, and the class's most popular rumor was already about Beomgyu's respectable upbringing.

Choi Beomgyu is amazing. He attended Experimental High School No. 1 to study. But he took a half year off school. His dad is amazing. In the city, his father is a well-known architect. The Hangram Opera House is the product of a renowned university. That his mother is better is the key thing. She is a visiting professor at Seoul National University and the vice president of Woori Bank.

In order to exact revenge, Ryujin exploited Beomgyu's tardiness as an evasive evaluation topic during the campus assessment.

❝I'm Shin Ryujin, Class Nine Grade Eleven. Today, I violated the school rules and regulations because I was late, which brought a very bad influence. So I promise under the flag to you all. Mr. Joon. Sorry, I mean Director Joon. I benefited a lot from it. Director Joon's speech just now. It reminds me of the school motto of Hanlim School. Objectivity, Cooperation, Diligence, Innovation. I follow the principle of being realistic and warm-hearted to review and reflect in front of the whole students.

Today, Choi Beomgyu, Class Nine Grade Eleven still roamed around the school after the bell rang, which brought a very bad influence. I was one of the witnesses. I fail to reflect on the school in time according to the principle of being realistic. And I forget the principle of being warm-hearted to help Choi Beomgyu to realize his mistake in time. Mr. Joon just said that a small leak will sink a great ship. I was wrong because I was late and covered up for the late arrival of Choi Beomgyu. You'll supervise me and make me...❞ In order to halt Ryujin and seize the microphone, Mr. Joon drew nearer to her.
