chapter 6
6 – Middle School Students
“Eh- By the way. While investigating this case, our production team was able to uncover a surprising fact.
It is true that her murdered mistress A had a daughter… We were inquiring about her whereabouts .. “
A man appeared on TV and explained in a voice that was in charge of what had happened in the Mirae family a while ago, and I watched the broadcast as if I was hypnotized.
No… Isn’t Mirae Group the biggest company in Korea? Making cell phones, making boats, making TVs, making finances – if you live as a chaebol of such a large conglomerate.
I thought he would be living a very happy life with so many things to overflow with his hands- he murdered his own husband- and also… He murdered his mistress.
Even if it was an ordinary person, the culprit’s face would have been disclosed on the Internet, but since Mirae Family’s eldest daughter did such a thing, there was no way to prevent her face from being exposed.
Damage..?
I don’t know if it’s because the broadcasting company thought of our citizens’ right to know more than that, or because of the simple ratings, but I could see a conglomerate killing people on the screen, but it looked normal for killing two people.
His slightly wavy brown hair is impressive.
Maybe it’s because of the hard work, but I can see some traces of the years, but still- if I decorate it well, where can I go and hear my sister’s voice…?
It must have been popular when I was young. In particular, brown hair is impressive.
“Hey, really- there are people like this in the world…”
From the outside, it seems like he can’t kill even a young ant, but he just kills people- and beats up his own daughter when she’s bored.
“Yoo Seon-ah, turn off the light and go to sleep…!”
“Yes, I understand..!”
I turned off the TV and got ready to sleep.
The next day, Jin-ah still didn’t come to school, but she was more concerned about why Jin-ah didn’t come to school.
She seemed busy talking about what happened at Miraega to her classmates and even her teachers.
He killed a person- Why did he do such a thing when he was such a gold spoon?
Spend time sitting in her chair blankly.
My eyes went to the bag.
I still have a school uniform in my bag for Jin-ah, but to be honest, I think it’s a bit funny for a grown middle school student to put a girl’s uniform in the bag, so I want to give it to her quickly.
Why aren’t you coming…?
At this time, she regretted not knowing Jina’s contact information.
I don’t have a cell phone yet because of the nursery school’s circumstances, so she didn’t feel the need to get someone else’s number.
This time, it’s a little, very uncomfortable.
A week passed, and another week passed. No matter how much Jin-ah skipped school, there were not many cases where she was absent for a long period of time like this-
Um… I’m very worried. Maybe something happened..? She was doing that housekeeper job and she just got beaten up by her landlord – did something like that happen..?
If you can’t stand it, you can come to our facility to eat and sleep…
“Ah, it’s a newspaper…! That, I want to read it too…!”
In order to raise the knowledge of growing youth, you have to read the newspaper every day. Mani, maybe because of such a story, newspapers are distributed every half of the day.
… Also, I’m not good at studying, but I like reading newspapers – and recently, a topic related to the murder case of the Mirae group again – a lot has happened, so I’ve been enjoying reading the newspapers lately.
“Eh..?!”
Of course, I expected news related to the Mirae Group to appear in the first chapter – Koryo Air and whatnot, and they said they didn’t give peanuts as an in-flight meal, so they made a U-turn on the plane that was going to Bangkok back to Korea.
Hey… I know this is a conglomerate as well- if this is a conglomerate conglomerate. You can kill people and even make a flying plane U-turn.
Anyway, there are a lot of really great people in Korea. At this level, chaebols in Korea can be regarded as almost ‘gods’.
So the story of the people of the future could be published on the second chapter of the newspaper
– Weak mental and physical due to depression…! I’m in a mental hospital..!
I could read such a headline.
Usually, Mr. A suffered from depression, but his husband’s affair became the catalyst for this crime.
So she was taken to the hospital due to mental and physical weakness, and it is said that the parties to the incident safely concluded an agreement- Some civic groups are protesting and arguing about how a girl who has just entered middle school can make an ‘agreement’ on her own. Coming out… I don’t know.
2)
I don’t know why there are so many incidents and accidents.
Not long ago, the news came out that a person had just died in Mirae Street, but this time, what kind of Islamic terrorist group…? I heard the news that they had just carried out a biochemical attack on the French subway.
North Korea fires another missile… There is news about a war with Syria and a certain country.
New incidents and accidents keep popping up – news and newspapers only focus on them – so… Naturally, what happened in Mirae Street was completely forgotten in people’s memories.
Just… What happened…?! That much…? Anyway what It doesn’t matter if there’s a murder there or not, with people like us.
….Jinah didn’t come this semester.
-The teacher also contacted me, but I’m not sure. I don’t answer the phone, and the house has moved and is gone. Now, if she gets really into it, she could end up on pay…
Even if it goes past this summer vacation, some say it’s dangerous if you don’t come to school in the second semester.
To my mind, she never thought that she would be able to see Jin-ah in the second semester.
Really-… Maybe something big happened…? I couldn’t even eat well for no reason, and my energy was damp.
So… She was laying alone in the facility, running a fan… And no one said anything to me. Since this is vacation – I have more time than usual.
The fact that no one is playing pranks on me could also be the reason.
People older than me have already left this facility. Originally, I was the youngest, but somehow I became the oldest.
Teachers, what- holding on to the kids younger than me, just- leaving field trips and all that stuff.
-Throw around, wallow.
I was passing my time rolling on the floor- I suddenly heard the director calling me.
What the hell is going on? I go into the director’s office, dragging my slippers… There’s the director, and then… There’s a girl.
He’s about the same height as me, his hair is completely messy, like it’s been hit by a bomb, and his clothes are often a bit tangled.
You look extremely tired and exhausted because you haven’t been able to rest properly- And… You can’t even wash properly, so you just… Can’t say anything about that smell…? It smells…?, But that’s not the point.
“Since he’s the same age as you, he’ll be of great help if you need anything to live with! Come on, Yoo Seon-ah, let’s introduce ourselves!”
“Uh… Um… Yes, nice to meet you. My name is Yuseon Kang. I’m fourteen years old.”
I am embarrassed to be asked to introduce myself so suddenly. What… What do you like? What hobbies do you usually enjoy? Specialty? Should I say something like that..?
There is nothing like that.
“This friend’s name is Lee Yu-jeong. She had an unfortunate accident and came here. Should I take responsibility for Yoo Seon-i and help her adapt well?”
3)
So I was entrusted with the role of helping Jung-yi live well in this facility during summer vacation.
Actually… Uh… Well…! Saying help is a grandiose expression, but what do you do with laundry, from what time to what time do you study, what time do you have breaks?
All they did was teach me when to watch TV and when to take a shower, so there was nothing particularly difficult or annoying.
“It’s hot today-“
“…”
Of course it’s summer, so it’s hot. … Even when I thought about it, it seemed like I was getting stupid things out of my mouth.
Still, if I didn’t say anything like that, I felt awkward and would go crazy.
An unfortunate accident…? Anyway, it’s because she’s been through that kind of thing, Yoo-jung doesn’t talk well, she doesn’t do anything… She was living such a lethargic life.
Must- you know something like that. An atmosphere like committing suicide any minute..? When I woke up the next day, I felt like I was going to hang myself in the bathroom and die.
I couldn’t do anything, and I couldn’t do anything except keep Yoo-jung by her side.
But, even so, just- I hate being on the sidelines, and I don’t think I can’t because it’s difficult.
I don’t know what kind of big things she’s been through, but she just wanted to ask what happened to Yoo-jung, but the director just said she didn’t know.
Are you sure you don’t know, or are you keeping a secret…? I don’t know if it’s because of that, but I feel like the director doesn’t even know what Yoo-jung went through.
Sometimes, just- how do you do this..? What is that..? And Yoo-jung asked me about that, so I don’t think it’s aphasia or anything like that.
He doesn’t talk much and is blunt.
Yoo-jeong finished middle school with her GED, and the director said that she would also take her GED, so I don’t really know what to talk about.
No matter what I say right now, I don’t think it will add much strength to Yoo-jung’s heart, so I just stay by her side without saying a word. My middle school summer vacation went like that.
How will Yoojung spend in this facility from now on..! Will she be able to adapt…! I couldn’t seem to give a definite answer to that.
Again… Jin-ah wonders why she doesn’t go to school… Wasn’t Jin-ah really wrong? Her head is confused at that thought, but she says that I will be in charge of Yoo-jung.
Her head hurts. Why did the director tell me to take care of Yoojung..? Did I look so trustworthy..?
I’m not a great person to take care of and take care of anyone…
