[alarm clock ringing]
[yawns]
"Summer went by so fast.."
[alarm clock stops]
I'm Il-Seong Gyeoul, a 15-year-old sophomore student at Seunhwa High. I live with my half-dead grandmother, who always tells stories about my parents, whom I didn't know as a child. I'm just an average student at school. My grades aren't super bad, but they aren't good either. I want to change that this year.
"Yo Il-Seong!"
"Yo!"
This is my friend, Dan Hyuk. My best friend since childhood. We've been going to the same schools together since kindergarten.
"Man! I hope we end up in the same class this time.. I mean, after all these years you and I were never classmates, no?"
"Haha, yeah true"
We learn shortly after that we are actually classmates this time. What a coincidence. Anyhow, everyone began walking to class. Unfortunately, I'm not seated anywhere near Dan hyuk. Instead, I'm sitting next to this girl who appears to be hooked on a book shes reading.
I try to start a conversation with her.
"Hey."
She looks over at me, she seemed annoyed.
"..Hey"
What was with that look!? She didn't seem to be interested in knowing me at all. We're gonna be seatmates for the rest of this school year you know.
"So, what book are you reading?"
"It's just sci-fi", she says.
She didn't even look back this time.
"That's cool, you got a name?"
"Ji-eun."
"I'm Il-Seong."
Her reponses are so short. This is going nowhere...
[sigh]
The teacher finally enters the room and classes begin.
[bell rings] -Lunch Period-
"Il-Seong! Wanna stop by the convenience store down the street?"
"Yeah, sure"
As were walking, Dan Hyuk begins to talk about this game that he created.
"By the way, theres this game that I've been working during the summer. You should totally give it a try!"
"Oh sure, what's it about?"
"Its fighting game. You know, martial arts and stuff"
"Sounds cool. I'll give it a shot this weekend."
"Bet, let me know."
As were about enter the convience store, I accidentally bump into someone. He appears to be a delinquent.
"Hey buddy! Whats you're problem!? You gon pay for this or what huh!?"
Dan Hyuk gets infront of me.
"Hey man, it was just an accident! We don't want any trouble. I'll pay-"
Suddenly, Dan Hyuk disappeared from my vision. The thug kicked him away.
[thud]
Enraged, he grabs me by the collar using an unknown power in order to make me regret what I did.
"What is this feeling? Who is this guy!?" I say to myself.
He suddenly drops me and lands a critical punch that seemed to be reinforce with some otherworldly power.
[whack]
[thud]
I hit my head and start to feel dizzy.
[coughs]
"Is this guy fucking for real? He's really trying to kill us!"
As he's about to land the finishing blow. Someone intervenes.
