Chapter 187

“Really? Seriously!?”

Is transferring schools really that great?

Do Mi-so smiled brightly, holding my hand, and asked again if transferring was the right decision.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Where the hell are you grabbing, you bastard.

【Yoho】—Sneakily getting some skinship, huh. ㅡㅡ

【Min Ji】—Let’s scold him. ㅡㅡ

I asked again to get a clear answer.

“Is transferring schools okay?”

“Yes! I want to go! I definitely want to go!”

Do Mi-so answered without any hesitation, saying she would transfer. Judging by her reaction, it seemed like she didn’t have any real friends at her current school. My heart ached for no reason.

“…I see, so you have no attachment to this school at all.”

“None! Not at all!”

Do Mi-so nodded her head vigorously. Seeing her like this, I wondered if she was a bit too happy. Was she being bullied at school? That’s how it seemed.

【Qkrnfl892】—She’s really happy.

【Jujijoa】—Is transferring schools really something to be this happy about?

【BigGirl】—She must really hate her current school.

【Maehwa Tree】—If she hated her current school, she should’ve transferred earlier.

【Handsome Licker】—Transferring isn’t something you can just do easily. *lick*

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—Yeah, these days it’s not easy to transfer within the same region. Unless you move to another area.

【Semen Thief】—You could just move.

【Cheerful Hyeon Ji】—They can’t just move whenever they want… Their situation doesn’t allow it.

【Handsome Licker】—Surprisingly, the house I saw earlier was a house that moved. If they move again, it’ll have to be to a worse place. *lick*

【Maehwa Tree】—But why does she hate her current school?

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—Just look at the parents, and you can tell what the students are like. Like parent, like child.

【Jujijoa】—Could she be getting bullied?

【Cheerful Hyeon Ji】—Mi-so has a bright personality, so I don’t think she’d get bullied.

【Qkrnfl892】—If she had a gloomy personality like Guburi, maybe.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Shut up, bitch. I’ll kill you.

I hadn’t heard anything from Pyo-ryu. I hadn’t heard anything about Do Mi-so’s school life.

‘Well, if she was being bullied, Pyo-ryu would’ve subtly let me know.’

Still, just in case, I decided to ask her directly.

“Mi-so, just asking, but you’re not being bullied at school, right?”

“Huh? No, I’m not being bullied.”

Do Mi-so answered like that, muttering softly to herself so I wouldn’t hear. Of course, even though her voice was soft, I could still hear it.

“The kids don’t play with me, though…”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—That’s bullying, you bastard.

【Yoho】—It doesn’t seem like she’s being actively bullied, so maybe it’s just passive exclusion?

【Maid】—Wha? What’s passive exclusion?

【Min Ji】—It’s when they subtly exclude you.

【Handsome Licker】—Sigh. It seems like there aren’t any bullies like in middle school. *lick*

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Being passively excluded is better than being actively bullied, but it’s still really lonely. Damn it.

【Handsome Licker】—Speaking from experience? *lick*

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—Guburi wasn’t invisible, he was a punching bag.

If there were bullies, I would’ve done whatever it took to punish them.

But if it’s just that they don’t play with her, there’s nothing I can do.

I can’t just go up to the students and say,

“Why aren’t you playing with Mi-so? Do you want to die?”

Threats won’t build proper relationships.

Well, since she’s planning to transfer anyway, it doesn’t matter now.

“…Forget the memories from this school, and when you go to the new school, make sure to get along well with your new friends.”

“Okay! But when can I transfer?”

Mi-so asked with an innocent face. She seemed eager to transfer as soon as possible.

“Let’s transfer tomorrow.”

There’s no reason to drag it out, so we decided to transfer tomorrow.

***

The next day arrived.

The transfer process wasn’t difficult. There weren’t any complicated procedures. It was all thanks to Yoho’s help.

Yoho had connections in the education field, so the transfer went smoothly. The connections of the CEO of the world’s top company couldn’t be ignored.

Anyway, Do Mi-so’s transfer was quickly decided.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Sex sex~

【Meng Yao】—Good morning. Did Junior Reverse Rape go to school?

【Handsome Licker】—Junior Reverse Rape, lol. *lick lick*

“Yes. I need to say goodbye to my friends.”

Mi-so is currently at school. To say goodbye to her classmates.

After today, she’ll never have to go back to her old school.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—Goodbye? Did she go to her old school?

【Jujijoa】—Seems like it.

【Maehwa Tree】—Didn’t she say she didn’t have any close friends at that school? Is there really a need to say goodbye?

【Handsome Licker】—Still, she should say goodbye. *lick*

【Qkrnfl892】—Yeah, even if it’s just for formality, she should say goodbye.

【Min Ji】—Right. Transferring without saying goodbye would look a bit bad.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—I’m jealous of that Mi-so kid. I wish I had met Gyesekkihoon when I was a student.

【Cheerful Hyeon Ji】—Lol, at least you met him now.

【Handsome Licker】—I should get ready to transfer~ *lick~*

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Huh? What transfer?

『‘Handsome Licker’ has left the chat.』

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Damn bitch.

【Maid】—Wow! She left without answering!

【Balloon Gum Collector】—Lol, Guburi got ignored!

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—Lol, is she transferring to Mi-so’s new school?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Make some sense, you idiot.

【Qkrnfl892】—Probably not. High schools don’t have ethics classes.

After spending the night in the office, I finished a quick wash and dressed as neatly as possible.

‘This outfit cost 40 million won… The fabric is definitely different.’

It was the outfit Min-ji sent me last night. When I go to pick up Mi-so from school. She said to wear something expensive and nice. So I could boost Mi-so’s confidence.

【Min Ji】—Hehe, it looks good on you!

【Maehwa Tree】—Se-hoon’s face is already a luxury, so he doesn’t need to wear expensive stuff.

【Qkrnfl892】—Do you really need to wear expensive clothes? Most students will recognize Se-hoon anyway. Isn’t it enough that Se-hoon is picking her up? Lol.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Damn, these bitches are annoying.

After checking my appearance in the full-length mirror and confirming there were no issues, I headed to the building’s parking lot.

A yellow Lamborghini was parked there. This was the car I’d be riding in today.

I took the car key out of my pocket and got into the Lamborghini.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Huh? What the hell?

【Qkrnfl892】—Why does Se-hoon have a Lamborghini key?

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—He’s getting in so naturally.

【Cheerful Hyeon Ji】—Wow, did you get a new car?

【Balloon Gum Collector】—Wow! When did you get it?

【Maid】—Wow! A new toy!

【Kyu Mi-ho】—Kyu~!! I want to drive that later too!

“This isn’t my car. I borrowed it from Yoho for a bit.”

To be precise, I didn’t borrow it; Yoho lent it to me. I didn’t have any intention of borrowing it.

【Balloon Gum Collector】—Wow, why did she lend it to you?

【Maid】—Wow! Why did she lend it to you!

“She said it was for the same reason as Min-ji. I said it was fine, but she insisted on sending the car.”

【Yoho】—Hehe, since you’re wearing nice clothes, you should ride in a nice car~

【Min Ji】—You know what’s up. Hehe.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Damn bourgeois bastards.

【Yoho】—Anyway, make sure to boost Mi-so’s confidence.

【Min Ji】—Fighting!

【Kyu Mi-ho】—Kyu~ting!

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—All you rich people can die.

【Meng Yao】—Does that include Se-hoon?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Ah! Sex? I take it back. Lol.

【Cat-eared Woman】—It would’ve been perfect if you brought the Defense Team guy too.

【Qkrnfl892】—Why him?

【Cat-eared Woman】—He’s super famous.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】—Yeah, he’s way more famous than Gyesekkihoon. He has a lot of fans.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—Lol, I’m embarrassed.

【Jujijoa】—We don’t need someone like that.

【Maehwa Tree】—Se-hoon alone is enough.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】—ㅗ

“Anyway, I should get going. I need to time my arrival when Mi-so finishes saying goodbye to her classmates.”

And so, I drove the Lamborghini to Mi-so’s school.

***

In front of the teacher’s desk.

Do Mi-so’s homeroom teacher looked around the classroom and spoke.

“Mi-so is transferring schools.”

The teacher said that and tapped Do Mi-so’s shoulder, signaling her to say goodbye to her classmates before leaving.

Of course, Do Mi-so didn’t catch the signal.

“Why are you hitting me?”

“…You should say goodbye to your friends.”

“Oh, right! But why did you hit me?”

“……Just say goodbye.”

Do Mi-so tilted her head at the teacher. Then, she turned to the students, smiled brightly, and waved.

“Thank you for everything! I didn’t have any close friends, but I’ll miss you all when I transfer!”

Do Mi-so proudly delivered her prepared lines without forgetting anything.

After that, she checked her classmates’ reactions.

The students’ reactions were indifferent.

“Transferring all of a sudden?”

“Maybe she’s moving.”

“Who was she again?”

“Dude, you don’t remember a classmate? Pay some attention. It’s Do Mi-so.”

“Oh, Do Mi-so? The slightly slow one?”

“Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever talked to her.”

“Me neither.”

“She’s talked to me before. I ignored her because it was embarrassing to talk to her, but now I feel a bit bad.”

“Feel bad? If someone told you to hang out with Do Mi-so now, you’d say no.”

“She’s tried to talk to me too.”

“What did she say?”

“She asked me what I thought about reverse rape.”

“What’s that?”

“I told her to stop talking to me and cursed at her, so she stopped after that.”

The average students muttered among themselves. Meanwhile, near the window, a group of delinquent-looking students waved at Do Mi-so. They were the so-called “iljin,” the school’s troublemakers who rarely attended.

Three girls and two boys. They were the only ones in the class who said goodbye to Do Mi-so.

“Mi-so, take care.”

“Take care. Don’t forget us.”

“Don’t forget our kindness!”

At the start of the semester, the iljin girls had beaten up some students who tried to make Do Mi-so run errands for them. They smiled as they spoke.

The iljin boys also chuckled and said goodbye, then whispered among themselves so others wouldn’t hear.

“Hey, you must be sad, right? You confessed to Mi-so before and got rejected.”

“It was a joke confession, what are you talking about?”

“Bullshit. Everyone knows you really liked her. You didn’t know she was a bit slow and fell for her looks.”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

“You got rejected, so you said it was a joke! That was hilarious.”

“Shut up…”

One of the iljin boys still had feelings for Do Mi-so. But he couldn’t show interest in her because she had no friends, was at the bottom of the class hierarchy, and had borderline intellectual disability. He was afraid his own status would drop if he associated with her.

Especially at this age, you can’t help but care about what others think.

If he hung out with Do Mi-so, would the other students look down on him? That fear kept him from showing his feelings, even though he still liked her.

“Now that she’s transferring, you might never see her again. Why don’t you confess one last time?”

“Ah, seriously…! Lower your voice, idiot, the others can hear…”

While the iljin boys whispered among themselves, Do Mi-so blinked and looked around the classroom again.

Except for the iljin group, the other students were still sitting indifferently. Few were even looking at her.

Some were studying, some were sleeping, completely ignoring her.

Seeing this, Do Mi-so was slightly taken aback. The homeroom teacher, standing beside her, sighed deeply and scolded the students.

“Guys, even if you weren’t close, you can at least say goodbye.”

Reluctantly, the students started giving half-hearted goodbyes to Do Mi-so. It was clear they didn’t mean it.

“Damn, their goodbyes are so half-assed.”

“They have no manners.”

“Seriously, no respect.”

The iljin girls cursed. The already gloomy atmosphere in the classroom grew even colder.

Despite this, Do Mi-so’s expression remained bright.

“Thanks for saying goodbye! If there’s a reunion or something, make sure to invite me!”

Mi-so didn’t mind this treatment. She was used to being ignored by her classmates. Their attitude was just the same as always.

“And also, thank you so much for not bullying me all this time!”

Do Mi-so continued her goodbyes, vowing to herself that she’d make close friends at her new school.

“Lastly, everyone, stay healthy and take care!”

Stay healthy and take care. Do Mi-so sincerely wished her classmates well.

Just as the goodbyes were almost over…

*Creak—!*

The classroom door swung open. A sophisticated man in a vintage coat walked into the classroom.

It was Gye Se-hoon.

The homeroom teacher, flustered by the sudden appearance of an outsider, stammered.

“W-who are you?”

“I’m Mi-so’s older brother.”

“Huh…? I thought Mi-so didn’t have an older brother…”

“Think of me as a stepbrother or something. Anyway, it seems the goodbyes are done. Can I take Mi-so now?”

Gye Se-hoon said that, wrapped his arm around Mi-so’s shoulder, and slowly scanned the classroom.

Unlike before, all the students’ eyes were now fixed on the teacher’s desk.

With stunned expressions.
