A girl in a different school uniform wandered around among the boys from the middle school, and everyone stopped what they were doing to look at me. However, I only saw the large door of the gym.
Upon opening the door, I saw several boys playing basketball, and some were cheering and shouting. I took a deep breath.
“Hantae!”
As I called out loudly with tension in my voice, all the boys there stopped moving and looked for the source of the sound. Upon discovering me, they looked at each other, asking who I was, and no one there recognized me.
“Who’s Hantae?”
I shouted again.
Then, a boy holding a basketball stepped forward.
“Who are you? I don’t know…”
Yeah. It’s you.
I rushed over and pushed young Hantae abruptly. Defenseless, Hantae fell ruthlessly onto the gym floor.
“You. What’s going on!”
I climbed onto the fallen Hantae, grabbing him by the collar.
“Is this a joke? Even if it’s a joke for you, can you imagine how shocking it is for the person receiving it?”
As I shook him by the collar, the kids around, startled, tried to grab me. I forcefully pushed away their hands.
“What you did is violence. It’s not not violence just because you didn’t hit!”
“What are you saying! Someone stop her!”
Hantae shouted to the kids around. Then, the kids who had been hesitating beside me rushed in and lifted me from the ground.
I struggled to break free, and in the process, my foot struck Hantae’s face with force.
“Ouch!”
Hantae, holding his nose, rolled to the side. Seeing him like that, the kids who had been holding me all gathered around him. Hantae, with blood flowing from his nose, released the hand covering his nose and glared at me.
“T-Taeyah. You nosebleed!”
After someone yelled, Hantae wiped his nose with the back of his hand, checking for a nosebleed, and shouted.
“What the hell is this!”
“Pretending to be friends, approaching and inciting other kids to harass people! How much did he brag about getting a good friend when he went up to middle school? It’s not you!”
As I was about to approach Hantae again after lifting my foot, someone called my name.
“Munda Yul!”
A familiar voice echoed through the gym.
Jiseojun, who had rushed here, gasped for breath, looking at me with a stern gaze. Then, he quickly approached, gripping my wrist.
“What are you doing here.”
“What am I doing? He said he’s Hantae. I was…”
“Munda Yul!”
I stopped as Jiseojun nudged me urgently.
Ah, this is bad.
Jiseojun was extremely angry right now. I stopped what I was about to say and bit my lip. Speaking here would only fuel Jiseojun’s anger.
“What’s this? Jiseojun, are you friends with this crazy girl?”
Hantae, standing up and wiping his nose again, asked Jiseojun.
“Don’t call Jiseojun’s name.”
I blocked Hantae’s way and growled at him.
“Huh!”
With a dumbfounded expression, Hantae looked at me and then at Jiseojun behind me, sighing before opening his mouth.
“That day, you ran away like that… What’s this? Did you tell your girlfriend everything?”
Hantae muttered, saying something about “face value.” The kids around started buzzing.
“Shut your mouth.”
I stepped forward as if to bite Hantae. At that moment, Jiseojun grabbed my arm and turned my body away from the gym. It wasn’t a strong grip, but I couldn’t resist Jiseojun’s hand.
Jiseojun was trembling.
The trembling hand of Jiseojun back in middle school. Watching him tremble while looking at me, I couldn’t forget the expression on Hantae, who was looking at me and Jiseojun behind me with an inappropriate expression for his age.
“Revenge?”
“Revenge? Ahaha. Did you get a bloody nose from me in middle school? Do I look like such a weak person?”
“Well, then.”
“I told you. Just Cupid.”
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
Hantae, who had confidently met my gaze, sighed and swept his hair back.
“It doesn’t work on you.”
Then, he opened his mouth as if pretending to clean his ears with his long fingers.
“It’s fun, isn’t it.”
“Fun?”
What is this crazy guy saying? I briefly doubted my ears.
“Yeah. It bothered me how that guy, who had everything without any effort from the beginning, looked so cool even after a long time. Annoyingly… When I saw him like that, I thought it would be a bit entertaining to act like I don’t know, considering I’m a bit of a free person.”
Although Hantae still had a nonchalant expression, his gaze changed for a moment.
“Who… who had everything without any effort from the beginning?”
“Or not.”
Crazy guy.
That’s all I could think.
“So, so you wanted to play a prank through Yura?”
“Actually, I didn’t have that intention from the beginning. It’s just that my mood got dirty when I saw your and Jiseojun’s expressions. I genuinely greeted her because I was really glad.”
“You still think only of yourself? You don’t even think about other people’s feelings.”
“Are you saying I want to call myself a sociopath? Well, whatever. It’s not that interesting. Yura, that girl. She doesn’t seem to have much ability, considering everything.”
Hantae raised his hands as if surrendering.
“Why aren’t you answering? Heh, you don’t want to meet with me and Jiseojun, huh? Whether it’s in the past or now, you always seem to overly protect Jiseojun.”
“Watch your words. Don’t you need to resolve your relationship with Yura and the rumors at work first?”
At that moment,
“Moon Dayul!”
It was Jiseojun.
“Here, how about here…”
Jiseojun, appearing like he did when he was catching his breath in the gym during middle school, approached me, grabbed my wrist, and said, “Reenacting a memorable scene, huh?”
After letting go of my wrist, Jiseojun grabbed Hantae’s collar. Pushing Hantae strongly against a pillar like the mainstay of a judo studio, Jiseojun applied pressure. Hantae struggled and grabbed Jiseojun’s hand, but Jiseojun didn’t flinch.
“Do I look like the Jiseojun who used to be a pushover back then?”
Hantae’s face stiffened at Jiseojun’s expression.
