2 years later (May 2022),
It’s lunch time for every student at the Song Education Centre. All of the students gather at the canteen. They queued up to get their meal. Suddenly, there is a group of boys who push everyone from the line to make their way to the meal without waiting for the queue. Park Seon Woo is the last student standing in the line.The leader’s group wrapped their hands around Seon Woo’s neck, making him feel intimidated. He was often bullied by them, and he feels scared right now.
"Purchase some food for us.Seon Woo-ah... "whispers Ki Young in Seo Woon’s ear." "
"n... ne... ne..." answered Seo Woo, frighteningly.
"Gomawo... you’re our lovely buddy, you know that right, agioo," said Ki Young, smacking Seo Woo’s back head, making him bow.
"Aissh... these losers really make a bad view in my eyes." Hyang approached the group. She came with her four best friends, who are standing beside each other. Ki Young turned around while still putting his arm around Seo Woo’s neck, facing the "angel-devil".
"What's your problem?" Ki Young inquired about Hyang.
"Can’t you see the line that was queued up?" asked Hyang back.
"I noticed that. But what’s the matter? "asked Ki Young.
"I think you have enough intelligence to understand the meaning of the line, right?" asked Dae Jun with a mocking voice. Seo Woo pushed Ki Young away and then approached Dae Jun.
"Are you trying to say that I’m stupid?" asks Ki Young to the handsome student.
"There’s no other meaning to my word except that, stupid!" Dae Jun mocks him again. Ki Young pulls Dae Jun’s collar and throws a punch at him, but Hyang is fast enough to catch his hand and grip it tightly.
Let’s not fight at school. It’s not good for our school image. It’s also not good for your family image. Well, even I know your family affection is not as big as mine. " "Hyang, threateningly"
"How arrogant..." mumbled Ki Young, as he pulled his hand from Dae Jun’s collar and pulled his other hand harshly from Hyang's.
"Do you feel safe because you have a member of the Yakuza family at your back?" asked Ki Young to Hyang, mentioning Joon Woo, who stood beside Hyang.
"Chh... I don’t know where your yakuza pride is that makes you want to stand behind a girl, "mocking Ki Young to Joon Woo, then turn around to leave them." Ki Young’s friend is also following him behind. Joon Woo just smirked at listening to his words. He wanted to step up and really wanted to punch him now, but Hyang just stopped Joon Woo by holding his arm.
"Yaa you... stop there!" said Hyang, still managing her calm voice.
Ki Young stopped his steps and turned around again, listening to Hyang’s words. He smirked and looked at Hyang with an annoyed face. Hyang steps forward slowly, then after she takes three steps, she accelerates her feet and runs to Ki Young. When she was right in front of him, she didn’t lower her speed and used her power to jump, then made a high kick on Ki Young’s face while turning her body 360 degrees. She really can’t stand it when anyone says a bad thing about her friend, especially Joon Woo, and she knows Joon Woo and the others will do the same thing to her. When Ki Young is pushed behind because of Hyang’s hard kick, he can feel a blood drop from his nose.
"Yakk!" shouted Ki Young angryly. He stood up and was ready to hit Hyang, but when he almost hit her, Joon Woo quickly pushed him back on his stomach. Hyang and Joon Woo exchange their views and smile, then do a high five for their "well" kick.
With that, the battle between the "angel-devil" and Ki Young’s group is starting. It’s a tie for their member number to do a one-on-one fight. Hyang continues her fight with Ki Young, while Joon Woo starts a new fight with Jae Kyung. She gets a punch in her cheek during the fight with Ki Young. She wipes her stinging lips harshly and fights back against him. She punched Ki Young hard and then straight kicked his jaw from below, making Ki Young throw himself behind and fall on the floor.
Joon Woo gets a hit on his stomach, but then he quickly revenges it by punching Jae Kyung’s right cheek, making Jae Kyung bow beside him, then giving him an elbow hit on his back, making Jae Kyung fall on the floor with his face facing the ground. The atmosphere of a quiet canteen becomes wild because of their fighting. Some students scream in fear of the sudden battle that is happening during their lunch time. Some students decide to leave the scene because they are afraid they may get hit, and others just stay because of the excitement of watching the battle. The other reason is that they are too afraid to make a single move.
One of Ki Young’s friends pulled the chair and lifted it to attack Hyun Ki. He lifted the chair high and almost hit Hyun Ki’s body right before he successfully avoided it. When he lifts the chair again to attack Hyun Ki, the genius boy quickly kicks the chair, hardly making the chair bump with his body and crash into pieces by Hyun Ki’s hard kick. The boy can feel a strong pain in his stomach and then kneel down to hold the pain that was caused by Hyun Ki.
On the other hand, Dae Jun and Myung Sik were fighting together with the other two students from Ki Young’s side. Myung Sik pulled one of the students' hair rashly, then gave a strong punch in his stomach. He then pushed the student away from the table to make him mess up with the meal on the table. Dae Jun just hit the other student on his cheek and then he pulled out his collar with both of his hands strongly and made him bow in front of him. He then hit his stomach with a knee.
Both parties keep fighting each other until Ji Suk Jin comes to stop the fight. He is the headmaster there. He shouted loudly and made both parties stop their fighting activities. All of them called to meet Suk Jin in the office, while Hyang called to meet the chairman of the school, who was none other than her auntie, her father’s sister, who managed Song Education Center.
"Yuck!Do you guys think this school is your battle area? Are you guys planning to be a hero? To be the best of gangsters? Suk Jin was angry at the boys. None of them answered him.
Suk Jin orders, "Now lift your pants!"
They did what he said, and they knew what would happen to them. It’s not their first time fighting at school, and they are used to receiving punishment, but they never feel tired of fighting. They are so stubborn. Suk'sJin takes a wooden whip and starts to hit their feet alternately.
'PLAKK!Hyang just received a slap from her auntie at her office. She just glared at her aunt without saying anything.
"What do you think you're doing now?" Song Sa Yeon exclaimed.
"What's the point of fighting like that? Where do you think you are? It’s my school! "adds Sa Yeon. Hyang just rolled her eyes and felt annoyed with her nagging.
"Yuck!How can a girl like you fight like that? Besides, you are the only girl between them! "Where is your mind?" Sa Yeon again yelled, but Hyang just kept silent while staring at the older woman in her eyes.
"What?Do you want to hit me too? " Hyang to Sa Yeon
"That's correct! I really want to shut out your mouth!" Hyang said coldly.
'Plakk!'She gets slapped again.
"Yak! "You are a rude girl," she exclaimed. "Just wait until I can kick you out of my school, even from your home." "I will make sure that someday I and my husband can own everything and kick you and your father away!" said Sa Yeon to Hyang.
"All right! Just do it. I'm not patient enough to watch your show, and you never win over my father and just own this school, so why are you so sure you'll win this time?You're not comparable to him, and you're rotten! " Hyang said coldly, then turned around and walked toward the exit door.
Hyang despises her auntie.She has a bad relationship with her father. She always tries to gain as much wealth from their family share as she can, but she never really does anything about their family business. In fact, the only one who is really capable of handling everything is her father, and he did his best to manage their big family business. He did everything, including leaving his only daughter alone and just focusing on work.
'blaam!'She was never happy with her family, especially her ambitious auntie, who was obsessed with money and power.
"Hey... are you okay?" asked Joon Woo, who saw Hyang exit the room.
They had just finished their never-ending punishment for their behavior.
"How about you guys? Do I get some slap as usual? " Hyang said, smiling and asking back.
Myung Sik's response to her by making his face appear amusing, and everyone laughed.
"All of you!" back to your class!" shouted Suk Jin, who saw them still not entering the class.
"Yes, big nose, sir!" said Myung Sik, teasingly.
"Yaa Do Myung Sik!" shouted Suk Jin in anger, trying to chase him away.
Finally, they split and go to their own classes. Hyang and Joon Woo are classmates in the business management department because they are the heirs to their family company, so it is a must for them to study business. Dae Jun and Myung Sik are classmates in the art and language departments because Dae Jun enjoys singing and Myung Sik aspires to be a model and an actor, respectively, whereas Hyun Ki is alone in the science department due to his family's medical background.
The lesson started with Suk Jin teaching how to build a great company, cultivate relationships with the client, manage the company, and treat the employees. Hyang and Joon Woo, who were sitting in the corner behind the class, didn’t pay much attention to the lesson. Hyang just lazily laid her head on the table while Joon Woo was playing a game on his mobile.
"It’s so boring." mumbled Hyang by herself, Joon Woo staring at her for a while. He knew that she was trying to give him a hint to do something interesting.
Hyang takes her phone and types a message for the four boys.
originating in: Hyang
It's terrifying to be bored.How about you? May we just go out?
Joon Woo smiled when he received the message. The others were not so much different and received Hyang’s message with a slight smile on their faces.
from Joon Woo.
I'm just doing my game, but it still feels boring. Let’s go out.
originating with Hyun Ki
The lesson was not very interesting. I understood everything before this. Let’s just go.
originating with Dae Jun
Well, I never paid so much attention to studying. I will happily leave this class.
by: Myung Sik
Oh my goodness! You saved my life!! >< I have no idea what the teacher was talking about. What the hell is the teacher talking about physics and ets? It’s killing me!!
Hyang was staring at Joon Woo, who was sitting beside her. He was staring at her back and giving her a hint to escape soon from the class when Suk Jin was facing the board. Joon Woo, who sat further from the window, squatted on the floor, then approached the window from his position. He always escapes and jumps first from the window before Hyang. With his height, it’s an easy thing for him to jump over from the second floor. That’s why he will jump first and wait for Hyang outside.
Joon Woo finally escapes from the class without being noticed by the teacher. It’s now Hyang’s time. She is staring at Suk Jin, who is still backing her. She takes her bag and walks slowly to the window. She was lifting her foot and was just about to jump.
"Yak Song Hyang!" yelled Suk Jin, who caught Hyang. Suk Jin hastily approaches Hyang to catch her, but when he almost reaches her, Hyang quickly jumps and Joon Woo catches her small body from under.
"Yaaaa... two of you, stop there!" Suk Jin yells frantically.
Hyang and Joon Woo didn’t want to hear it and just ran away together. Suk Jin keeps shouting their name, but they just don’t care. Once in a while, Hyun Ki seems to join Hyang and Joon Woo. He runs from the left side. Hyang waves to him, and the three of them run together to the gate. In a minute, Myung Sik and Dae Jun also join them. The gate is closed. Myung Sik, the tallest boy, climbs the gate first, and he pulls Hyang’s body up to climb, then the rest of the three guys climb and pass the gate fast. Hyang and Myung Sik then jump together from the gate, and all five of them run together while happily laughing at each other.
"From now on, we will have a new member in the private detective department," said Jae Suk to his subordinate member. He came to the private detective department room together with a young man who had a cheerful and excited smile on his face. "Anyeonghaseo, Choi Min Ho imnida (Hello, my name is Choi Min Ho), please take care of me," said Min Ho, bowing to Shin, Gary, and Haha politely. "You have a lovely face.I’m Haha," said Haha, introducing himself and shaking Min Ho’s hand. "Thank you, Haha sunbaenim (senior),... nice to meet you," said Min Hoo, smiling happily to accept Haha’s hand. "Welcome Min Ho-ah, I’m Gary," said Gary, greeting a new member of his comrades. "Annyeonghaseo Gary sunbaenim," Min Ho said, bowing once more. "Let’s finish the introduction. We still have a lot of work to do," said Shin coldly, without greeting the new member and just coming back to his table
" Song Hyang... Her father is very famous in the business industry and very healthy; he has many business branches, one of which is Song Education High School "explains Haha about his investigation of Hyang's background. "So... do you find something suspicious about his business related to ACO?" asked Jae Suk. He explains, "Not yet. Well, I'm not sure if he does that kind of business. He is so good in business and has never done that kind of 'hidden' business." "There must be something about his business; if not, why was Song Hyang targeted by ACO?" Gary doesn't understand. "I guess so too," added Haha. "But... for some years in ACO's case, they never target another person but just people who are directly related to them. If they have some kind of business with Song Il Guk, why are they targeting his daughter rather than him? It's strange, " said Jae Suk with a frown on his face. "What do yo
"Yah... transfer student... why are you here? Are you following me around? " Hyang was confused to see the young man with his masculine body standing in front of her. He just smiled at her without saying anything. "Sent your dinner," said Shin, lifting the dinner set in his hand. "I won't eat, I said, and why are you at my house?" asked Hyang, frowning and feeling suspicious. She is aware that the man in front of her was observing her the whole day at school and now? What the hell was he doing standing in front of her room? Is he a kind of stalker? "I live here," answered Shin shortly. "What?" asked Hyang in shock. "Are you crazy?" adds the girl. "Nope... I'm serious," said Shin with a calm face. Hyang was looking at him with an irritated smile. She then pushed Shin away and walked outside to try to find someone for the explanation and the reason why on earth that stranger could live at her home.
The second lesson was over. The female student quickly surrounded Shin and gave him so many kinds of gifts. While there are about five female students who are gathered near Shin's chair. "Oppa... I made a lunch for you. Would you mind eating this?" asked the first one. "Oppa, how could you be so handsome and masculine? Do you have a girlfriend already?" asked the second one. "Oppa... oppa... I was being cast as a model for the famous magazine. Let's exchange our numbers, "said the third girl, playing around with her hair, trying to flirt around. Shin just sighs heavily without wanting to look back on them. He just can't understand their behaviour. In his high school days before, he never even once found these possessive and 'active' kinds of girls like them. He is wondering why they even come to school if they have no purpose for studying but are just busy looking for a boyfriend. Hyang and Joon Woo stand up from their chairs
There is nothing special about Hyang for this day. She reaches her home with the guys at 5 p.m. after they have some fun together. When she can't find her father in the dining room, Hyang, as usual, refuses to eat and goes to her room to rest. Shin also entered his room and made a report for Jae Suk about her. He then checked some files about the case progress of ACO that Haha had sent over to him. At 9 p.m., Shin hears a click sound from outside. The voice is from Hyang's room door. Shin then stood up and exited his room. He finds that Hyang has just closed her door and is getting ready to leave. She wore all black suits with a leather jacket and boots. It seems like she wants to do some motor racing. "Where would you go?" asked the undercover detective to the student girl. Hyang doesn't answer and just wants to walk past Shin, but he blocks the way. "I asked where are you going?" asked the man again. "Mind your own business!" said Hyang co
Shin is taken aback when he sees the tears rolling down on Hyang's cheeks. He doesn't understand what is happening right now and why she is crying. He stood up from his work table, looking at her with a confused yet worried face. "What's wrong?" asked Shin of Hyang. Rather than answer his question, Hyang looked around the room. Looking at the special things that were left behind by the original owner of the room. She noticed that the snow globe on the buffet had moved an inch from its previous place. She walked toward the buffet and moved the snow globe, then tidied up the books in their exact position. She wouldn't find any change in this room. After finishing the buffet, she looked around again. She finds that the picture on the table has shifted a little. A picture of a little handsome boy, Jong Ki, She approaches the table where Shin is still standing there, confused and following every move that Hyang makes. She took the
7 years ago Joon Woo is getting ready for his taekwondo final battle between elementary school students. He was determined to show his father that he would be a strong man who would not embarrass his yakuza family. He wanted to prove to his father that he was worthy of being a part of their family with his strength. When the battle began, he entered the battle area, and he saw a little girl who had entered the area just like him. Joon Woo just smirked when he knew that his final rival would be a girl. He was sure that he could beat her easily. The girl is named Song Hyang. While Joon Woo looked at her with a mocked face, she just stared at him expressionless. The battle just somehow started and they fight each other. Joon Woo tried to hit Hyang. He didn't care if she was a girl, all that he needed was to win the battle. But the more he tries to hit her, the stronger she becomes. They fight each other, and Hyang becomes the winner in the end. "You work hard," s
"I'm home...." said Hyang entering her house but yet a silence is the only one who greet her. She know she is the one who order Mr. Choi to have some off day to visit his family, but actually when she doesn't meet him after she reach home make she feel somehow lonely. She has a lot of waiters who serve her with everything, but the waiters never really come beside doing their job and they stay at their own building house behind the main house. Mr Choi is the only one who really accompany her at the home, so Hyang feel so much empty when he is not around even though she would never bluntly tell him that. "hhhh.... This very big building house is really feel creepy empty" Hyang sigh and wisper the words to her self before she take a step to reach her own room. She drop her bag on the floor and throw her self on the bed. For some minutes she just silently staring at the ceiling. Her memories about her little brother crawling in her hea
