Inside the classroom on the last day of the yearÂ
"Classes are finally ending, I can't wait to have a memorable High School, without these idiots around my life will be a lot easier"
*Sungjin reflects while being benched by some bullies.
Joon-Ho: Hey Sungjin! Stop shaking.
"Jeong Joon-Ho, an anomaly who is 1.80m tall and weighs more than 100Kg at the age of 16, because of this he thinks it's fair to beat up the weakest because according to him 'I was blessed with the power to destroy the weak' and I, a guy with 1.67m and 60Kg wet, am considered weak, this guy has been a bully since he was a child and I've always been his target, over time he's gotten stronger and the 'jokes' heavier"
Hyun: Do you know which school you're going to Joon-Ho?
"Choi Hyun, one of Joon-ho's henchmen, he's an ordinary guy who's lucky enough to be Joon-ho's friend"
Joon-ho: Not yet, and you hit?
"That's my nickname, 'Hit', which comes from Hitmonchan, a small, skinny pokemon"
Sungjin: I... I don't know.
"I'd better not talk just yet"
Joon-ho: We're friends Hit, why are you trying to hide this from your friends?
Sungjin: I'm not hiding it!
Hyun: I know, but it doesn't matter, I'm going to Gwanak High School! You should go there too Joon-ho.
"No way! That's the same high school I'm going to!"
Joon-ho: Good idea, I'm going to that school too, my parents wanted to put me in a high school...
"No... Why? These should be unforgettable years in a good way, not more years when I'm going to suffer at the hands of these idiots."
*Sungjin trembles for a moment and his arm fails, causing him and Joon-ho to fall.
Sungjin: Des-
*Joon-ho starts kicking Sungjin in the stomach.
Joon-ho: WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO DESTROY ME?!
"Why does my body sabotage me?! If I were bigger... If I were stronger..."
Taemin: Stop it! Or I'll have to tell the teachers.
"Yun Taemin, the class representative, he doesn't interfere when they're just fooling around, but whenever they hit someone he's there to stop it, I guess I can consider him an ally, or at least a benefactor"
Joon-ho: We were just saying goodbye to Hit, since we won't be seeing each other anymore.
*Joon-ho leaves the room with Hyun.
Taemin: Hey man, is everything okay? *Taemin helps Sungjin up.
Sungjin: Yeah, thanks.
Taemin: I'm sorry for interfering when it gets to that point, I can't get into trouble anymore. *Taemin says with an amused smile.
Sungjin: It's okay, it helps.
"I've heard rumors that during his early years Taemin got into a lot of fights and was even suspended, it's said that his father hit him and said he'd throw him out of the house if it happened again, and that's why today he's a representative, but it's just rumors"
Sungjin: Taemin, sorry to ask, but which school do you go to?
Taemin: Hm... My dad enrolled me in a boarding school in Gangbuk, so I should probably go there.
Sungjin: Ah ok, good luck there! *Sungjin replies a little disappointed with the answer.
Taemin: You too! *Taemin speaks and then leaves the room.
"Taemin's going to boarding school, Joon-ho and Hyun are going to the same school as me, who's going to protect me this time?"
*The rest of the classes were normal and in the blink of an eye the school year was over.
"Finally a vacation! I need to go to the hospital to see Grandpa before I go home"
*Before going to the hospital, Sungjin stops at a convenience store and buys some food.
"I hope Grandpa's getting better"
*When he arrives at the hospital, Sungjin sees some black cars with men in suits in front of them, as if they were protecting the car.
"Strangers!"
*As he enters the hospital and heads towards his grandfather's room, he comes across a corridor full of men in suits leaning against the walls.
"Is there a mobster sick by any chance?"
*When he arrives at the door to his grandfather's room, two men are covering the door.
Sungjin: Excuse me? This is my grandfather's room, do you steal money from sick old people now too?
*Just as Sungjin finishes speaking, the door opens and a man in his 40s wearing a fancy suit and a gold ring comes out of the room and closes the door.
?: What's this? *The man asks the men guarding the door.
?: This boy claims to be Mr. Shin's grandson. *When one of the guards answers, the man smiles.
"That's it! Now I'll have to pay an astronomical debt to the mafia for the rest of my life"
?: Nice to meet you young master, you can call me 'Cravo'. The man extends his hand in greeting.
Sungjin: Okay, I have to see my grandfather. *The young man ignores the man and enters the room.
Outside the room
Cravo: Those young people. *Speaks while laughing
Cravo: Let's go! *The man speaks and everyone bows and leaves the hospital.
Inside the room
Sungjin: Grandpa, who were those guys?
Woojin: They were just old acquaintances, how was the last day?
Sungjin: It was just another normal day, I said goodbye to some friends who are going to another school and that's it, there was nothing very special.
"My grandfather doesn't know and can't know that I'm bullied or that I don't have any friends, when my father died the impact on him was so great that he became extremely ill, it'll be three years since he's been in hospital"
Sungjin: What about you, Grandpa? Are you feeling better?
Woojin: ...
"Whenever I ask him how he's feeling, he doesn't answer or changes the subject"
Woojin: We have to talk my grandson, the doctor came earlier with some tests and my situation isn't going to improve, the doctor says it's already a miracle I'm still alive, so get ready pro-
Sungjin: I brought some things for us to eat and spend some time together, since I'm on vacation now I'll be able to spend a lot of time with you. *Sungjin speaks with a smile on his face as he takes things out of the bag to change the subject.
*Sungjin spends the late afternoon at the hospital having fun and keeping his grandfather company.
Sungjin: I have to go Grandpa, I'll come early tomorrow, see you tomorrow.
Woojin: Bye. *When Sungjin leaves the room, Woojin sighs and lies down on the bed.
"He was very strange today, did those gangsters come to collect some debt from him? Tomorrow I'll ask him, and he'll tell me to prepare for the worst, he has no right to leave me now."
*Sungjin runs to the bus stop and goes home.
Inside the houseÂ
"What can I do on this vacation? Since I have no parents and my grandfather is ill, I can't travel. Just the thought of those shits going to the same school as me makes me angry. Will I be able to protect myself if I learn to fight and work out? I don't think so, that freak is a war tank".Â
In the morning
