After the last school bell rang I immediately went out to the school gate, I saw the car that used to pick me up every day had arrived and immediately asked my father's driver for help to go to the police station where my friends were taken.

I just got the news that Yeon Jin, Jae Jun, Sara, Hye Jeong and Myeong O were taken to the police station. I don't know why, but every time I ask my other classmates or teachers they all give the same answer "we don't know"

I can't believe that this school is so lacking in regard to the safety of its students. how could they allow their students to be taken away by the police without knowing the reason first.

So I decided to go to the police station to see how they were doing and help them with the misunderstanding. I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding, Yeon Jin and the others are good people, so there's no way they're causing such a big problem that the police have to intervene.

but i'm late, when i was at the police station and asked if my friend was there. the employee said my friend just came home, everyone was picked up by their parents.

When I called Yeon Jin, she explained that there had been a misunderstanding with someone, so she and all the other friends were taken to the police station but she calmed me down and said that they have reconciled with that person.

Hearing her explanation that they had straightened out the problem, I calmed down because that meant all the problems were over, Yeon Jin also made sure that I didn't mention the matter about them being taken to the police station to my father, because she didn't want my father to think of Yeon Jin and others as trouble maker.

At the time I thought it made sense, so I agreed not to discuss it with my father. Moreover, this is all just a misunderstanding, right ? No ?

After that incident a few days later I had not seen Dong Eun again. The last time we met was on a rainy day and Dong Eun gave me gimbab from the super market. At that time I thought of repaying her actions by inviting her to go to a restaurant, but this time I would treat Dong Eun as a return for accompanying me on that rainy day and giving me food.

But that desire seems to have vanished because Dong Eun and I are no longer able to meet.

Where does she go to school now?

What is her reason for having to change schools?

Does she already have friends there? I hope she has one because I know that she always looks lonely at school, so a friend must be a good thing for her

I hope that someday, we can meet again and I will repay her kindness again for what she did to me on that rainy day.

After Dong Eun left, the school day didn't change much. I still hang out with Yeon Jin and the others. My grades are still good so that I always get a lot of good compliments from teachers, friends and my father's business partners praise me. On Sundays I still continue to visit the church led by Sara's father. even my father's habit of always punishing me if I have a mistake still goes on as usual.

Without realizing it, three years have passed and I will graduate from high school. Now I have to think about where I will go to college. I really want to be a book writer, maybe because of my liking in reading books that makes me motivated to enter that world. But my father opposed my decision to become a book writer by saying that he didn't raise me just to make me a writer, at least I have to repay his services in raising me by becoming the successor of his company.

I thought he would not allow me to take over his company because as you know he already has his favorite son, of course everyone must think the same as me, that the one who will be the successor is my half brother .

My father must have had a purpose behind all of this and it turned out that choosing me to be the successor was because he didn't want his beloved son to have to work hard to make money, he felt that his son didn't have to work hard, he just needed to live comfortably and just enjoy the results, while I have to work for his son.

Jae Hwa, my half-brother is turning 11, if I'm honest he's not as smart as me. But who am I to judge that? My bad thoughts towards my little brother sometimes pop up in my mind and without me knowing the feelings of jealousy and envy towards him are getting bigger day by day.

Unlike his father and mother, Jae Hwa treated me very well. He sometimes secretly gave me food when my father punished me, he even often defended me when my father scolded me. Jae Hwa is a good kid, but I think he's good because he never experiences hardships like most people.

Jae Hwa's kind attitude towards me makes me feel like a bad person, because without him knowing sometimes I have evil thoughts towards him, sometimes I feel happy when he gets bad grades, or he sometimes falls and gets hurt, or when he cries because his toy broken.

Many people say that I'm a good person, but I don't think I'm as good as they all think. because I sometimes have a dark side that even I'm afraid to know.

I'm not a saint, I'm human. Everyone has a selfish side, right? so I hope everyone will understand because for once I want to be selfish, I want to feel where all my actions are things that I decide for myself not from my father's orders or anyone else's.

So that day I did something a bit too far, I hid all the Inhalers my dad had. Not many people know that my father has asthma. only family knows about it. So when my father's inhaler disappeared, my mother and Jae Hwa looked frantic to look for the inhaler while I just stood looking at my father who looked like he was having trouble breathing, at that time I smiled a little realizing that I could be more powerful than my father if I wanted to.

But not for long I woke up from my bad thoughts and realized what I had done. No matter how much I hate my father, I don't want to kill him. I immediately looked for the inhaler I had hidden and pretended to find it somewhere. I think I'm lucky, with the image that I've used so far because no one feels suspicious.

I decided that I would no longer follow the bad thoughts I wanted to do, the incident of losing my inhaler would only be my secret and no one would ever know about it.

Then I graduated with the highest grades in school and got a scholarship at a top university. I majored in business related to prepare me to be the successor of the L Group company. I gave up my desire to be a writer, but I still like to read books.

Yeon Jin and the others also continued their education according to their individual wishes, where Yeon Jin decided to become a reporter, Jae Jun continued his parent company, Sara want to became a painter, Myeon O who still always follows Jae Jun wherever he goes, and Hye Jeong who wants to become a flight attendant.

Everything went well or that is what i want to believe
