Chapter 4 - It's starting

'It's dark...'

*Clang*

'Am i chained?'

Sounds of chains were heard as Yong Jin tried to move...

'Where am I?'

Yong Jin was chained in a dark room with no lights around.

All he could see was absolute darkness...

Yong Jin tried to move but couldn't...

'Damn why am i chained like this!?'

As he clenched his fists and desperately tried to move his arms...

But the chains were too thick and didn't budge by his small movements.

'It seems you're awake Jin.'

An unknown man's voice was heard and echoed through the entire room that was filled with darkness.

'This voice....' As Yong Jin spoke nervously after hearing the voice of an unknown man.

Footsteps were heard...

Getting closer towards Yong Jin.

'It's time for you're class Jin.'

Yong Jin flinched and recalled a traumatizing moment as he yelled 'Wait! No!'

Sparks were seen infront of him, as the unknown person grinded a sharp object unto the ground as he walked closely towards Yong Jin.

'Don't come near me!' As Yong Jin desperately yelled and tried to escape the chains that binded his movements.

The Footsteps were getting closer as the sparks lit the ground...

'Kekeke! It's time for class Jin!'

'Nooooo!' As Yong Jin yelled loudly that echoed the entire dark room.

Yong Jin gasped, and noticed his heart was beating fast...

'It was just a dream..'

Yong Jin recalled a traumatizing memory from when he was young.

*Knock Knock*

'Son? You're awake? It's already 8:34 AM.'

'Oh, I overslept. Be there in a minute.'

Yong Jin hurriedly took a shower and rushed to prepare for school.

Meanwhile at Nam High.

Students were already inside their classrooms, the usual noisy corridors were already quiet. Teachers were already giving lessons to their students.

Yong Chaerin was dozing off and stared at the window while her Teacher was demonstrating something upfront.

'Chaerin? Pst! Chaerin?' As Jiho spoke while shaking his hands infront of Chaerin's point of view.

'What are you doing Chaerin? The teach is calling for you.'

Chaerin snapped back to reality and noticed that the teacher was calling out her name.

She immediately stood up and said yes.

Then the teacher gave her a question to answer, Chaerin obediently walked towards the front to answer the question that was written in the Blackboard.

Meanwhile in the Entrance of Nam High...

Yong Jin was completely covered in sweat as he reached the Gates of Nam High.

He took a breathe and walked inside the school, Quietly passed through the corridors and headed towards his Classroom.

He opened the door silently and noticed that the teacher was facing at the blackboard so he hurriedly went inside and sat on his desk.

Yong Jin's seatmate was shocked that he suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Gabin Sai who was upfront looked back and noticed that Yong Jin had finally arrived.

Then Yong Jin lied down on his desk and asked his seatmate to wake him up when it's almost time for lunch. The seatmate nodded.

Dom Taejon, A 5'10 feet tall guy, With Curly brown bowl cut that covered his eyebrows, Sharp eyes and nose, Has small lips and Slim figure.

He was sociable and likable due to his kind personality. He was popular, but due to the bullying he was forced to lay low and act like a nobody.

Girls were clinging to him since the beginning of the class. But Hun Pyo who was jealous made him an outcast. Students that were close with him also got bullied and ever since that happened, No one came near him.

But after Hun Pyo vanished from their class, Those who were particularly bullied regained their freedom. So Class 2-D went back to it's normal atmosphere where students were always chatting with others openly.

After several hours, the bell rang loudly.

Dom Taejon quietly woke Yong Jin up, the Students were already heading out to buy food at the cafeteria. Yong Jin finally woke up and thanked Taejon for waking him up. Taejon nodded and smiled as he stood up to head towards the cafeteria.

Gabin Sai noticed that Yong Jin finally woke up so she stood up from her desk and walked towards Yong Jin who was currently yawning at his desk.

'Um, Yong Jin? Do you have a minute?' As Gabin Sai asked politely.

Yong Jin looked at Gabin Sai and nodded.

'I just wanted to thank you properly for saving me and my brother.'

'It's done, Don't worry about it.'

'No, I'll treat you lunch to show my gratitude.' As Gabin Sai insisted.

Yong Jin had no choice when she saw Gabin Sai desperately trying to thank him.

Then the two headed out of their classroom to go grab something at the Cafeteria.

A long queue was seen at the School Cafeteria, Students were standing while others were chatting.

'What do you want for lunch?' As Gabin Sai asked.

'Anything will do.' As Yong Jin replied.

The students who were eating saw Gabin Sai and Yong Jin entering the Cafeteria.

'Hey, Is Gabin Sai dating Yong Jin?'

'No way? I heard Yong Jin saved Gabin Sai's brother'

'No, I heard they're dating.'

'You must have heard it wrong, Yong Jin's making Gabin Sai his errand Girl.'

Alot of rumors spread while Yong Jin and Gabin Sai walked inside the Cafeteria.

Student's eyes were immediately reverted when Yong Jin looked around with an intimidating face.

Gabin Sai then waited in line along with the students and Yong Jin stood and looked for a vacant table to eat.

Dom Taejon who was currently eating alone at a four person table was seen by Yong Jin.

So he immediately headed towards Taejon's table and asked if him and Gabin Sai could sit with him.

Taejon nodded as he ate his food.

Then Yong Jin sat down while waiting for Gabin Sai to come with their food.

Then After a few minutes, Gabin Sai finally arrived with some luxurious food set and then they started eating together.

After they ate, they immediately headed back to their classroom.

Yong Jin thanked Gabin Sai for treating him, Gabin Sai smiled as she explained that it was to show her gratitude for saving her brother, Gabin Jang.

Then the Bell rang and their afternoon class started.

Dom Taejon was feeling uncomfortable sitting along with Yong Jin who was completely terrifying.

But Taejon knew that without Yong Jin's sudden appearance the Class 2-D wouldn't be this peaceful.

So Taejon tried to talk with Yong Jin, But Yong Jin was lying down on his desk.

'Umm, Yong Jin. Where do you live?' As Taejon nervously asked.

Yong Jin didn't responded...

Taejon thought that maybe Yong Jin was sleeping so he didn't bother to ask another question.

After the Classes ended.

Yong Jin woke up and said 'I live near here, At Namkan Street.'

Taejon was shocked that Yong Jin replied late to his question a few hours ago.

'How about you? Where do you live?' As Yong Jin asked.

'I live at Namkan Street too, I didn't knew we live close by.'

'Namkan street is particularly huge anyway. I don't even know our neighbors, Especially when i just came back.'

'Oh, so before you transfered here, You were abroad?'

'Yeah, I lived at Detroit.'

Taejon was glad that Yong Jin wasn't bad after all and gulped as he asked nervously. 'I see, So wanna go home together?'

Yong Jin looked at Taejon's face and went silent for 10 seconds...

'Sure, we live nearby anyway..'

Taejon smiled and stood up as both of them left the classroom.

Gabin Sai noticed that Taejon and Yong Jin are starting to get closer...

Park Hongjun who was completely humiliated by a single punch wasn't satisfied and wanted to get his revenge on Yong Jin.

So Hongjun and his lackeys waited at the School's Gate for Yong Jin.

As students passed by, they were avoiding the bullies who were occupying most of the area.

'Hey, Isn't that Park Hongjun?'

'Yeah, I heard he got knocked out by the transfer student.'

'So Isn't the transfer student now the leader of the second years?'

'I don't know, maybe Hongjun's trying to fight him now and take revenge.'

'Well, I hope the transfer student's like Kim Jiho.'

'Yeah, I Hope so too.'

'Hey did you know there were some weird news about something at China?'

'What the fuck are you talking about? Yong Jin and Park Hongjun's topic comes first you idiot!'

As the students gossipped while passing through the School Gate.

'Hey Insong, Are you sure that the Yong Jin didn't leave yet?' As Park Hongjun asked.

'Yeah I'm sure. He has a Recycle task that was given to him by the Teachers, So I'm sure that he hasn't left the school yet.'

'Okay, did you gather the boys?'

'Yeah, They're all here... But they're completely shaken.'

Park Hongjun then looks at the guys that were gathered by Yu Insong.

'Don't worry you pussies, I'm the only one who's gonna fight and y'all just be witnesses.'

The guys that were gathered looked nervously and stood quiet.

After several minutes, Yong Jin and Dom Taejon were seen walking. They were heading out from the School.

'Finally, The transfer's here..' As Hongjun spoke while grinning.

Yong Jin saw from afar that some guys were currently waiting at the School gate.

'I think you should stay away for awhile Taejon.'

'Huh? Why?'

'It seems there's some guys who are waiting for me.'

'Some guys? Where?'

Yong Jin then pointed where Park Hongjun and his goons were standing.

Taejon was completely shocked to see the Second year bullies gathered at the School Gate.

But seeing Yong Jin walked calmly, gave confidence to Taejon.

'I won't be leaving you alone with them Yong Jin.'

'Huh? Are you sure you can fight?' As Yong Jin asked.

'I don't know, but you're my friend. I can't leave you, It'll hurt my pride.'

'Friend you say? We only talked today.'

'Yeah, we're friends right?' As Taejon spoke with shining eyes.

Yong Jin couldn't say no seeing Taejon's face acting like a puppy.

Then Yong Jin Smiled and said 'Fine, Let's go together.'

Then the two went towards the direction were Park Hongjun and the others were currently standing.

Park Hongjun and his guys noticed that Yong Jin was already heading towards their direction.

Two hours earlier...

'Hey isn't the transfer student now the Leader of the second years?'

'Yeah, He knocked Park Hongjun out.'

Students at the corridor were immersed on gossiping about the incident between Park Hongjun and Yong Jin.

Park Hongjun who heard all the rumors couldn't handle the embarrassment. So he told Yu Insong that he would challenge Yong Jin to a fight, And that he only got knocked out by a surprise attack and that didn't count as a lost.

Yu Insong didn't bother asking as he was immersed on the latest news that was going throughout the entire world and just agreed to what Park Hongjun wanted.

Park Hongjun's name was heard all over the school, on how he got knocked out in one punch.

To redeem his pride, He wanted to have one-on-one rematch with Yong Jin.

His lackeys were starting to lose their loyalty on Park Hongjun after his defeat, So he told them that he would fight Yong Jin later after school.

'Yong Jin, Let's fight.' As Park Hongjun grinned.

Yong Jin didn't give a response...

'You mute? I said let's fight!'

Yong Jin ignored Park Hongjun and walked passed through him, But unfortunately Park Hongjun's lackeys were blocking the School gate.

As soon as Yong Jin's back was open, Park Hongjun immediately threw a sucker punch at Yong Jin causing him to fall unto the ground.

'Nice Punch! Hyung-nim!' As the Lackeys cheered.

Taejon got nervous after seeing Yong Jin fall unto the ground.

'Stand up you bitch!' As Park Hongjun unbuttoned his uniform.

Yong Jin stood up and glared at Hongjun.

Students noticed that Park Hongjun and Yong Jin were fighting, so a crowd of students suddenly swarmed their area and formed a circle.

Yong Jin just stood up guardless while Park Hongjun was on guard and tried to provoke him.

'Yong Jin, you just got lucky before! I wasn't paying any attention that time.' As Park Hongjun spoke trying to redeem his authority.

Yong Jin then gave his bag to Taejon and walked towards Park Hongjun.

Park Hongjun then started throwing jabs at Yong Jin who was guard less, But Yong Jin didn't flinch and even blink as he got punched in the face.

The Students were anxious as they see Park Hongjun punch the transfer student.

'Are you done?' As Yong Jin asked.

Park Hongjun was surprised and stopped throwing punches.

'You got your revenge so we're even now right?'

Park Hongjun was shocked and didn't say a word.

Yong Jin then turned around and walked towards taejon to grab his bag.

The students then started gossiping as how Yong Jin purposely received Park Hongjun's punches to save he's face.

Park Hongjun trembled in anger as he couldn't stand the embarrassment and the new rumors that were already starting to spread.

'YONG JIN YOU BASTARD! DO YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME!?' As Park Hongjun screamed in anger.

Jiho and Chaerin noticed that alot of students were gathered at the School gate and immediately rushed towards there to check what was going on.

'I'M GONNA KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD!' As Park Hongjun rushed to attack Yong Jin.

But before he could notice it, His point of view was immediately turned upside down.

Yong Jin grabbed his arm and threw him unto the ground without Park Hongjun realizing.

It was a quick move that even Yu Insong got shocked upon seeing what happened infront of him.

A loud slam were heard as Hongjun landed on the ground.

Yong Jin was so angry that his veins started to show.

'I told you that we're even but you try to backstab me?'

Before Park Hongjun realized, He was already lying down at the ground.

Then he tried to stand up to face Yong Jin, But as soon as he saw Yong Jin's expression. He felt a suppressing aura that was covering Yong Jin's body.

It was a murderous aura, an Intent to kill his enemy.

Park Hongjun's instincts told him to retreat immediately or he would die.

But before he could move, Yong Jin already grabbed him at his shoulders.

Park Hongjun who was a predator and was always at the top of the food chain felt fear for the first time of his life.

The Students were shocked as they saw Park Hongjun froze infront of the Transfer student.

Yong Jin clenched his fist so hard and open it as he was ready to grapple his enemy.

But before he could do something to Park Hongjun, Chaerin rushed and grabbed Yong Jin's arm.

'Enough with that Oppa! I'm telling mom if you continue this!'

Yong Jin snapped back to his senses and noticed that he got too immersed on it, and then he let go of Park Hongjun.

Park Hongjun immediately fell and sat on the ground as he could not move due to the fear he had experience upon facing Yong Jin.

'I'm sorry...' As Yong Jin apologized to Park Hongjun.

Park Hongjun couldn't say a word and was trembling infront of him.

'Oppa, let's go home.' As Chaerin dragged Yong Jin out of the crowd that were gathered.

Then Taejon, Chaerin and Yong Jin went out of the crowd and headed their way towards the School Gate, But for some reason they couldn't leave the school grounds.

It had some sort of invisible wall infront of them, Other students also noticed that they can't enter or leave the School grounds.

Then suddenly a loud scream was heard....

Yong Jin, Yong Chaerin and Dom Taejon turned around and was shocked, upon seeing what happened infront of them...
