Golden Time (JungYong)

They recoiled at Dongsu's fighting spirit. But it was only for a brief moment.

"Are you going to hit me? Then, hit me," said Donghyuk, touching his cheek as if he were inviting Dongsu to hit him.

Dongsu, looking at his clenched fist, opened his mouth with a cynical glean.

"Hey, I wonder how our young masters will react if they get beaten."

'Certainly they will kneel down and cry. Or they will cast down their eyes without uttering any words.' Those who fought with Dongsu used to behave like that.

Dongsu was about to hit Donghyuk's face with his fist when Suhyuk took his hand.

"This is none of your business," said Suhyuk.

"Leave me alone. This motherfucker said something about 'third-rate person'. I'm going to smash him..." Dongsu said.

"Are you here to fight?" asked Suhyuk, moving forward to stop him.

If he let Dongsu have his way here, nobody knows what'll happen to him.

In the worst scenario, he could be kicked out of school.

"It's about me, Dongsu."

Suhyuk once more talked to him, and then said to them, "It looks like you have not eased off your anger."

"Anger?" said Insoo who kept silent.

"Were we angry at you?" His laughter grew bigger.

"As I said before, don't be mistaken. You express anger at the other party only when they're in the same position as you. Don't you understand me? We just..."

Insoo's eyes gazing at Suhyuk created a half-moon-shape, "It's a joke that a guy like you is in this school. I don't know how you got here, but stay quiet without making the water muddy here. Has this place already become muddy?"

With these words Insoo went back.

Donghyuk, staring at Dongsu, said, "Be careful."

And then all of them disappeared.

"Who the hell are those guys?"

Dongsu's face was burning with anger. Obviously he was trying to suppress it.

"I've done something bad to them before," Suhyuk said.

"Did something bad to them?" asked Dongsu.

Suhyuk slowly his nodded while watching them disappearing away.

He thought he apologized to them enough with sincerity. No, it was far from an apology. For they regarded his existence as something like a worm. Was it funny for a worm to apologize to a human being? Because he wronged to them, he deserved it no matter how badly they treated him.

Suhyuk cast down his eyes gradually. 'But if they keep behaving like this...'

It has been a week since Suhyuk transferred to Jaemyung HS.

In the meantime, he adapted himself well. Dongsu also worked hard enough to make his eyes bloodshot. He had tutoring too. No matter how stupid he was, it's impossible for him not to notice his grades going up with that extra help.

The final exam time came. With his gaze fixed on the test paper being handed out by the front row students, Dongsu breathed deeply,

"Huh ... I'll get at least 10th place in my class."
