First Encounter

"Chatter" "Chatter" "Chatter" "People talking"

"Hello, nice to meet you. I am a new student transferring from the National Institute of Hweng Soo. From here on, please take care of me."

"What? New student? He looks like a child. Another guy we can pick on i guess?" "Boring" "Why isn't it is lunch break already?" "Let's finish this quickly!"

"My name is Hwang Si Woo. Look forward to seeing you all, everyone."

"Well, his smile looks creepy."

Teacher: "Well, everyone this is the new student and get along together. Si Woo-ssi you can take the empty spot over the here. Let's start today's lesson before lunch break. Time is precious."

"Hey newbie you don't still know the rule around here, right?" "Your name is Si Wee~....? What's again?"

"It is Si Woo-ssi."

I am called "Gi Hoon", a big brother to everyone around here. This is my guys, "Si Hon" "Yoo!" "Gi Woo" "What's up new guy?" "Chae Yoon" here is only the female guy in our group.

"New guy! Whatever I am hungry. Let's go have lunch?"

Let's go together, right. New guy is coming right?

"At that time, why did I say yes?"

At the canteen,

Gi Hoon: "Oh, Si Woo-ssi, it is your treat, as the new classmate. Things are like this around here. Get used to it. "

Hwang Si Woo: "Wait, I have to pay?"

Chae Yoon: "Whatever, I don't care. I am going to grab a plate. I am not paying. It is on you guys."

Si Hon: "I don't have money"

Gi Woo: "Me neither"

Gi Hoon: "Well, I forgot my wallet at home, so new guy, can you pay for us, right?" "Treat this as the welcome treat to the group?"

Hwang Si Woo: "Aha aha ha (awkward laugh) su...su..sure."

Gi Hoon: "Well, nice meeting you."

"My name is Hwang Si Woo; I am junior high school student transferring from my ex-school to this school. I was hoping to get along with everyone but seem like others don't care about me at all. For the first time in this school, I have made friends with a group of students. Students? right?"

"Well, Gi Hoon is tall and big, I don't believe that he is same age as me if I don't see his student card, apparently he has a brown skin and height is around 6 feet maybe. Wow, he is so muscular unlike me."

"For Si Hon and Gi Woo, they are pretty big well-built bodies themselves. They are all higher than me. Even the girl named "Chae Yoon", she is taller than me. Somehow, I feel from her eyes that she doesn't like me at all".

"From now on, I wonder how I am going to befriend with everyone from this school. I am excited."

After 1 year,

"Do you get it loses?" "What the fxxk are you crying for?" "Sxxt, the teacher is coming." "Let's go, we will deal this with you later. Come to the back of the school after lunch, if not I am going to kill you. You fxxker."

"Do you see the look on your face?" "I beat the shxt out of him?" "He is doing good as our punch bag as well as our money pouch."

What happened you say? Yes, I am being bullied right now. It only takes one year and everyone in my school knows how easy I am to bully, and everyone choose me as their target.

What happened to my friends? Well, they aren't my friend, they used me only for my money. They are also a group of bullies. I hate bullies. They are the worst. They are also the reason why I have to transfer schools every time. I stopped contacting them, I stayed away from them because I don't want to be taken advantages of. And now, my life is the same shitty feeling as ever from my previous one.

"Smack" "Pow" "Pow" "Here comes the mighty punch!" "Ohh, right to the center"

"Ahh... (fell on the ground), I can't breathe, I...I can't breathe."

"You guys see that right, the punch to center is the shot." "Yep, we need to do this again."

"Hey, stop lying punchbag, get up. We need more rounds to go. What? unconscious? Hey... Hey..... Hey... I think he is out."

"No, you guys are noob this," (whisper) "Hey, loser, stop pretending, do you know what will happen to your two beautiful friends if you don't do as we say?" "We can't guarantee that they are not being bullied in the school." "I have senpai who is very much interested in collecting school queens, how about I make some pocket money out of them huh?" "What do you say?"

"Leave them alone.."

"Look, this fuxxker is pretending to be unconscious. He is fine right now. Let's go another round."

Why? I am being bullied that much you say, well.

6 months before.

Gi Hoon: Si Woo. Let's go have lunch, others are waiting. Your treat right?

Si Woo: Huh? ah...OK.

"Shit, I don't like that attitude. Why is that guy is always with the new student?" "I heard the new student have a ton of money in his pocket. My guy saw that when he is paying at the food counter. "

If only not because of them, "Hey, listen..."

Later that evening,

Si Woo! Gi Hoon said he want to talk to you something. Can you come to the restroom with us?

(Door close)

Si Woo: Where is Gi Hoon? I though he said he want to talk to you.

Oh he is, well he is not here. But he said we can beat you as much as we want. How about that?

Si Woo: "what?"

Hey, Gi Hoon? " You there right?"

talking over phone: "what is it?"

Your little friend over here doesn't believe what we said, would you mind?

talking over phone: "what the fxxk, I am busy, I don't care about him, do what you want. "

Si Woo: (screaming in pain) but we are friends.

talking over phone: "what friends, me and you. Stop joking, we are only bringing you in because we want to use your money for the lunch. Now, we get bored. How funny, you think I want to be friends with you. Fxxk my mood got worse. hey guys make sure to beat him a good time. I am busy."

"You hear that right?"

Si Woo: "So, in the end, I was used again? huh?

The next day, I don't see that bastard Gi Hoon, in the classroom from then on, I don't see him going to the class anymore and it's been six months since that I have been bullied. During this time, although I have been bullied many times, I found the two friends who back me up.

Ri Nee: Hey, you guys stop teasing Si Woo, as the class president. I have to look for all the student in class.

Si Yin: Yes, she is right. Mind your own business. Si Woo is the top 1 student in class, let's see how the teacher react when he sees your guys are disturbing him.

Ri Nee and Si Yin, they are the transfer students like me, they are cheerful and have many friends and most importantly, they treat me as their friends. Ri Nee is the top 2 in the class, I first met at the school's library. She is gorgeous. Si Yin is more like an open person; she speaks what she is in mind. She helped me out when I was being bullied at the back of the school.

Ri nee: "Hey, will you help me explaining this? I don't understand well."

Si Yin: "Hey, that's not fair. I need my grades to be good as well. If not, my mom will kick me out of the house?"

Si Woo: "Sure"

Ri nee: "Well, school time is over. Exam is drawing near. I need to study harder. Can I come to your place, because I want to you to explain things that I don't understand as well."

Si Woo: "Ah..my house?"

Si Yin: "I wanna come too, exam is already within a week, I didn't study a thing. I need both of your help to pass the exam."

Ri Nee: "Please, Si Woo, I can't go to my house because well....my parents aren't at home, I have to stay together with my aunt, she doesn't like bring boys to her house.

Si Yin: "Neither at my place, my mom is strict, I don't want to get kicked out even without failing the exam."

And that's how we end up studying at my place.

Ri Nee: "Wow, this is your house? You are living in the riches' block?"

Si Woo: "Yes. This is my house. (shy laugh)"

Si Yin: "So big, more like a mansion. You are rich."

Si Woo: "ha ha ha (awkward laugh)."

"Whisper, technically I am not rich, but my father is."

Si Woo's stepmom: "Why are you bringing girls to the house? Don't you know I don't like bring strangers at my place?"

Si Woo: "Stepmom, ha ha ha (awkward laugh), we are going to late night studies." (thinking) "Strange, you don't like bringing strangers into your house while you are the one living at my father's house, spend my father's money and also throwing parties with random stranger at my father place."

Ri Nee: "Hey, Si Woo, who are those people?"

Si Woo: "They are my cousins, well not blood related though. Si Bok and Si Wong, both are older than me."

"Well Si Bok and Si Wong, they are my stepmom's sons, they are elite in what they do, and one is good at sports while the other is good at studies. Their bodies and faces unlike mind are completely different. But they don't have the same mindset as my father. I don't know why my father remarry such a narrow-minded woman, but I am sure he also has his own reason."

Si Bok: "Si Woo, who are girls behind you?"

Si Wong: "Yes, they are pretty as hell."

"Damn it, if possible, I don't wanna introduce my friends to them. I know a lot about them. They aren't good people as far as I know. I heard from my father that he had to deal with annoying number of troubles because of them. I also know that my stepmom is secretly trying to cover their past mistakes from my father discovering. I wonder what they are hiding?"

Si Bok: "Hello, I am Si Bok, the same school as Si Woo and I am the whole school student president."

Ri Nee: "High School, junior, Class 1-A president. I am Ri Nee. Nice to meet you. (Blush)"

Si Wong: "Yoo, Beauties, called Si Wong, I played basketball in the young student union."

Si Yin: "wait, you are the rumored basketball star in school?"

Si Wong: "You highly praised me. I am not the star, in fact, you are cuz I can't look away when looking at you, so beautiful".

Si Yin: (blush) "You are a smooth talker huh?"

Si Woo: "Ha ha ha, they are my friends, we are going to study for the exam together."

Si Bok: "Oh, then, go on. Give your best for the next coming exam. I wish you both luck. (smile)"

Si Wong: "How about we treat you both beauties to a nice dinner after the exam?"

Si Yin: "You bet; I am a big eater."

Ri Nee: "Well, (blush) I will think about that."

We ended up studying late at night that night. Preparing for the exam.

A few days later,

"Beating noise"

"You fxxker, why aren't you answering our call, we are low on cash, don't you know, you have to give us your monthly offering." "What a load of crap, loser. Hey, reach his wallet, " "Cool, there are enough for us to go the bar."

"You are lucky this time, don't you dare forget about the money, you fxxker, let's go guys."

"Although I am getting beat up, I don't care after today's is the day, we finish the exam and I am finally getting a break, a summer holiday, my father and I are going to the visit my mom grave originally in her hometown. But I want to hang out with Si Yin, and Ri Nee, I want to bring them to the beach resort that I am planning to go, it would be easy to ask my father for the money like travel and food and other expenses, but I don't want to burden him, so I save my pocket money as much as possible, if not for the bullies to take my pocket money day to day, I might save enough quickly but never mind. Now is the perfect time, I have enough money and I also got my permission."

(his memories)

Ri Nee: "Wow, this is your house?"

Si Yin: "More like a mansion to me:"

Ri Nee: "I get it you are the type of person to go to beach resort and vacation however you liked, right?"

Si Woo: "Ha ha ha, not really, my father is always busy with company staffs. I have my own things to take care of as well."

Ri Nee: "What you have things to take care of, what are you doing all that free time?"

Si Woo: "Just personal bet between my father and me?"

"Well, I can't tell them that I have a company under my name because my father and I have a bet long time ago, and he lost and then he had to give me a company under his management?"

"I thought he was joking at that time, but he really did give me the company under his directly management. It's been so long since then that I don't really remember the name of the company, but I know that dad had been managing that instead of me because I am not 18 yet at that time. But now I am already 19, I wonder if dad already forgot about this. Anyhow, I can't say to that, I spend most of my free time reading my father business documents, they might think I am a creep."

Ri Nee: "It is okay, even if you don't tell me. But I want to go to the beach resort, eating seafood and having a luxurious life just once like my schoolmate."

Si Yin: "Well, I want to go beach too, I haven't been to the beach resort or 5 stars hotel before because my family is tight on money."

"Well, Ri Nee is from the family where her father is the normal office worker while her mother is the home staying mother."

"Si Yin family's open a restaurant near the school, usually they have a lot of customers but lately fast foods like KEC and Mtdonal and Burger-Queen have also opened near the school, so students started going there to have lunch. That's a shame because her mom cooking is the best of all I have tasted when I eat at her family's restaurant last time."

"Because .... It is similar to my mom's cooking....."

(back to present)

Let's call them and tell them that I already make a reservation to the beach resort. All we have to do is just go.

(Phone ringing) (ringing)

Ri Nee: "hello"

Si Woo: "Ri Nee, it is me. I have something to talk about... it is."

Ri Nee: "I don't have time right now. I will call you back later alright."

Si Woo: "Oh, ok"

"I think she is busy with doing something else, well can't help it then let's try calling Si Yin."

Si Yin: "The number you called isn't answering. Please call back later."

She doesn't answer either.

Phone ringing.

"Oh, ah it is dad?"

Si Woo: "Hello, Dad."

Si Woo's Dad: "Son, I am not coming back home tonight, I have some business to attend to. I am going to your mom's hometown tomorrow's morning. You are leaving for the beach with your friends tonight, right have fun." (beep) (beep) (beep)

"Dad is always busy with his staffs, huh?"

"I can't contact them, and we are leaving tonight. Well, let's go home first."
