I went to school intending to make contact with Bong, I wasted enough time but I needed Bong to register me as a friend if I was going to destroy everything he loved.
Jun was receptive to me, I was a high-status person who brought a certain respect to anyone who associated with me
My family name was on everyone's lips now, they knew who I was and this meant that they knew I wasn't someone to be messed with.
My reputation as the richest person in this school was solid and they knew the power of such influence, getting on my bad side was the worst thing that could happen.
I noticed that Jun was waiting outside and I guessed that it was for Bong, Bong was like the person that guided him but I noticed that he wasn't alone.
There were other people there, he wasn't alone this time around as the rest of his crew was present.
I opted against approaching Jun and instead, went right in.
Jun didn't see me either, he was too focused on the people around him to register anything else.
That might have been a good thing but the attention I got was a lot less, which was comforting.
I know I said I liked the attention but I didn't like it 24/7 because being watched 24 hours limited what I could do because there would always be a witness.
I walked into the toilet to take a piss but there I saw the boy I had sat beside in the bus on the floor with three people around him.
He had a bruised face and he was soaked, I could tell with a single look that it was urine, a golden shower to say the least.
I didn't speak or even attempt to protest, I simply walked to the stall to take a piss, this was none of my business as I went through something similar and survived.
I came out of it stronger. No, wait, I died but I couldn't cause any more trouble for myself.
I finished peeing and went to watch my hands, the other boys were smoking and laughing at his miserable state.
But the boy that was snickering in the bus walked into the toilet and the moment our eyes locked, I knew that trouble was about to unfold.
"What is this bitch doing here?" He barked but I was unmoved by this and focused on watching my hands because there was no reason for me to fight him.
I didn't give him a response, I knew that would be giving in to his provocations so I instead chose to be the bigger man.
I chose to walk out and avoid conflict but this fucker stood in my way.
"I wasn't talking to myself," The boy said and I took a deep breath to calm myself, I needed to know what was going on with the gods that guided me.
This was the last thing on my mind, I did notice that the smaller boy wasn't here and that meant that this cunt was the one in charge of these miscreants.
"Look man, I don't want any trouble," I said sternly, looking right into his eyes but he refused to bulge.
"Would you look at that fellas, he doesn't want trouble," He repeated after me, clearly mocking me with the others laughing upon hearing this.
I wasn't about to let him have his way and tried to force my way through but he grabbed me by the shoulder.
I won't lie, his grip was strong and he must have gripped my pressure point because my knees nearly buckled. He tried to force me down but I managed to stand my ground.
This clearly surprised him and the rest of the people in the room as I grabbed his hand and slowly took it off my shoulder. The power tussle began but I overpowered him even though I had to admit he was stronger than I thought.
I sighed upon realizing that they had now made what was going on my problem, I looked back at the helpless kid and wondered if my stepping in would make things worse for him.
He wasn't even poor but I guess he didn't have as much as the other kids so he was shamed.
"Hey you, get up. Let's go," I commanded him but the boy didn't move an inch.
The boys around him laughed, I knew how deep-rooted trauma was as the others began to laugh.
"Go on egghead," One said before kicking him to the ground.
"It looks like he doesn't want to go," Another said.
But I had removed my attention from the man that blocked my way and he tried to use this opportunity to sneak in an attack.
However, I had something I didn't have before and that was experience. I wasn't going to let my guard down and I caught his reflection through the window ahead.
It was an inswinger so all I needed to do was duck, and then I pushed back and slammed my elbow into his torso, I must have knocked the wind out of him because he dropped to his knees, trying to catch his breath.
I crouched and placed my hand on his back.
"Breathe, you will be fine," I assured him, I had to admit, this felt so fucking good.
What kind of monster did I inhabit? That I was this strong with just a per cent of his core memory unlocked? It made my body lighter but it didn't give much else.
However, I spent my life taking punches that I learned to predict their trajectory but I could not dodge them in my original body, which wasn't the case here.
I got to my feet, knowing that he should be out of commission for the duration that he was regaining his composure and began to walk towards the others.
They tensed up, I could tell that they either thought this boy was untouchable or they were in disbelief that I was able to land a blow so easily.
"Are you going to stand in my way too? Unlike him, I won't be so gentle with you," I warned, my voice was so cold that it even gave me the chills.
It was like I was getting into this Minsuk character and without saying a word, they rushed to the man at the door and helped him to his feet.
A smart decision but before they ran out of the room like scared little children, he said these words to me.
"You bastard! You will regret crossing me!" But this was hardly threatening because his voice cracked halfway through.
"Pathetic," I muttered under my breath before looking at the boy on the ground and stretching out my hand to help him to his feet.
"Um… You going to get u-!" I couldn't even complete my train of thought as the boy suddenly screamed at me.
"YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT!" Before running out of the bathroom as someone who was once bullied, I understood his fear.
The bullying was about to increase ten told, I wasn't the one going to suffer this transgression, he was.
Damn it, for some reason I now felt responsible for him.
