《The Boss》 The New Transfer Student "Everyone, pay attention! Today marks the first day after receiving your results, and congratulations on being successful students," the PTI teacher announced enthusiastically. "Yeah!" The class erupted in cheers. "As today is your first day as seniors in this school, be the inspiration for your juniors. Help them out with problems and also study hard because this year will determine what you''ll become in the future. So, stay focused," the teacher continued. "Yeah!" The cheers echoed once again. "I''ll take my leave now, and your homeroom teacher will introduce herself to you. Be good to her and follow her instructions, okay?" "Yeah!" The class cheered and clapped as the PTI teacher left the room. After the PTI teacher left, the homeroom teacher entered, and everyone stood up to greet her. "Hello, students. I am your homeroom teacher, Bae Rayun. Let''s study hard and become inspirations for those looking up to us as seniors. Also, we have a new student joining us today. Please welcome her..." Kim Yujin entered the room, tall and gorgeous with her slim figure, long hair, fair skin, honey-brown eyes, and a bright smile that captivated everyone''s attention. "Ohhhh!" The class cheered as she walked in. "Please introduce yourself," the teacher prompted. "Hello! My name is Kim Yujin. I am a transferred student from Genius High School. I hope to meet new people and make lots of friends here. Thank you," Yujin spoke in a soft and polite tone, leaving everyone impressed with her beauty and grace. "Alright, does anyone have any questions for Yujin as she is now your new classmate?" the teacher asked, scanning the students'' faces. "I think you don''t have any... Yujin, you can sit next to Jayyun over there." As Yujin walked towards Jayyun, he didn''t even acknowledge her presence. "Hello," Yujin greeted, but Jayyun didn''t respond. "If this seat isn''t comfortable for you, you can choose another one with Sora," the teacher suggested. "I would like to sit with Sora," Yujin decided. "Alright, do as you please," the teacher said, starting the class. As the class progressed, everyone focused on studying, except Sora, who seemed bothered by Yujin''s presence. Yujin noticed Sora being hit with rubbers from the girl sitting behind her but chose not to intervene directly. After class, Minsoo, a girl who had been observing Yujin, approached her desk. "Yujinah... I am Minsoo, Lee Minsoo. Let''s be friends?" Minsoo offered her hand. Yujin, sensing Minsoo''s two-faced nature but maintaining her composure, shook her hand and smiled politely. "Hey Sora, stand up and go buy us some bread, and also get something for your desk mate as she''s new here," Minsoo ordered. "There''s no need; I can buy it myself, and I also want to take a school tour," Yujin declined politely. "Yujin, since you''re my friend now, I''ll help you with everything. You don''t have to sit with this girl; you can take Rami''s seat and sit there. You''ll be comfortable around me," Minsoo insisted. "Thank you, but I''ve chosen my seat for today, and I won''t change it until the end of the month as per the school''s rules," Yujin asserted. "Wow, you''re a stickler for rules, huh?" Minsoo chuckled. "As you said, you left your old school. Why?" Yujin inquired. "There''s no specific reason; I just wanted a change. There were many bullies, and I didn''t like it," Minsoo explained. "Oh, haha," they laughed as they exchanged high fives, a hint of mischief in their eyes. "I''ll add you to our group, okay? Give me your contact," Minsoo suggested. "Sure," Yujin agreed, and Minsoo added her to the group. In the next class, there were many messages in the group about Sora being bullied, not just by Minsoo but also by other classmates. After school, as Yujin was leaving, a girl approached her. "Hey, I''m Jayun, Jayyun''s twin sister..." "Oh, nice to meet you," Yujin replied, feeling both shocked and surprised. "Yeah, I know my brother didn''t greet you back; he''s always been like that, never changed ever... so don''t mind him," Jayun explained. "Oh well, I''m not bothered by that," Yujin shrugged. "Ahaha, you''re such a lighthearted person, I never knew that," Jayun chuckled. "It was your first day; hope you enjoy it here. I''ll leave first as I have to go somewhere," Jayun said, excusing herself. "Sure," Yujin replied, following Jayun out of the classroom. Minsoo wasn''t there as she had left before the class ended. As they reached the door, Jayun turned towards an alley, which seemed suspicious. Yujin decided to follow her to see what was going on. In the alley, Yujin saw Minsoo and her friends surrounding Jayun. "Jayun, you little stick figure, hahaha!" Minsoo''s friends laughed, but Jayun didn''t seem okay. "I brought you what you wanted," Jayun said nervously. "Oh, really? Give it to me," one of Minsoo''s friends demanded. This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. "But promise me you won''t bother me after this..." Jayun pleaded. "Yeah, are you ordering us around? Do you think you can tell us what to do, you lowly thing?" another girl named Seoyeol shouted. Wonra grabbed Jayun by her ponytail and hit her in the face. Her screams echoed, and they emptied her bag, finding a piece of paper. As Wonra read it, her anger grew, and she hit Jayun again, this time in the stomach, causing Jayun to cry out in pain. "Yeah, Jayun, tell your brother to date me, or I''ll kill you both, alright?" Wonra threatened. Jayun nodded in fear as they left from the other side of the alley. Yujin, witnessing everything, stayed until they were gone. She approached Jayun, who was picking up her belongings and looked visibly distressed. "Yujin... what are you doing here?" Jayun asked, startled. Instead of answering, Yujin hugged her and then helped her pack her things. She walked Jayun home as well. On their way back, Jayun opened up to Yujin. She explained that Minsoo''s friend liked her brother but he rejected her. Now, she was being pressured to convince her brother to date Minsoo''s friend. Jayun never told her brother about the bullying as he was already working hard to make ends meet and didn''t pay much attention to what was happening around him. Yujin listened empathetically, understanding the gravity of the situation Jayun was in. After leaving Jayun at her home, Yujin continued on her way. Along the path, she crossed paths with her brother, Jayyun. He glanced at her, paused for a moment, and then walked away without saying a word. Yujin watched him until he disappeared into their house, then turned and headed towards the bus station to catch her bus back to the hostel. While sitting on the bus, Yujin''s mind raced with thoughts about everything that had happened. She replayed the events over and over in her head, feeling overwhelmed by the weight of her worries. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jayyun''s perspective: As Jayyun entered the house, he could hear his sister''s sobs echoing through the rooms. Unable to bear it any longer, he headed straight to her room. Jayun was sitting beside her bed on the ground, trying to hide her tears as Jayyun opened the door. "Jayun..." Jayyun''s voice softened as he saw his sister''s distress. Jayun looked up, startled, attempting to conceal her tears. "It''s okay, sis," Jayyun said gently, kneeling down beside her. "You don''t have to hide your feelings from me." Jayun leaned into her brother''s comforting embrace, letting out all the pent-up emotions she had been holding back. Jayyun stayed with her, offering silent support as she poured out her heart, knowing that despite the challenges they faced, they would always have each other''s backs. After leaving Jayun at her home, Yujin continued on her way. Along the path, she crossed paths with her brother, Jayyun.

Jayun was sitting beside her bed on the ground, trying to hide her tears as Jayyun opened the door. "Jayun..." Jayyun''s voice softened as he saw his sister''s distress. "Jayyun, do you need anything?" Jayun asked him. He just stood there and then came closer to her and hugged her. "I am sorry... I am really sorry," Jayyun''s eyes filled with tears as he saw his sister suffering because of him. "When did you...?" Jayun was surprised by his apology.she was being bullied in school, but how did he find out? "I saw you writing responses on my behalf... those papers... that you threw in the dustbin, I read them all. Even after finding out, I wanted you to tell me, but you never came and said anything... why? Why were you bearing all this alone...?" Jayyun said in a soft and sad tone as he sat right next to her on the ground. "I am sorry... I broke the promise... but it''s just for this year. I''ll be fine, and it''s not too much. I can do this... they won''t bother me like that again. I gave them the last response today..." Jayun explained. "And what did they say?" Jayyun inquired. "They said they won''t bother me again," Jayun lied. "I believe you. I believe it''s true, and you have to tell me everything, even if it''s a small thing, okay? I know you are strong and can handle anything, no matter how hard it is, but I want you to rely on me. Give me a chance to prove myself that I can protect you," Jayyun reassured her. "I know you can. You are already doing enough. I want to see you happy as well ¨C smiling, laughing, talking to others, and not just minding your own business," Jayun expressed her concerns. "I know, but I can''t do it. I don''t know, it''s just uncomfortable to be around so many people," Jayyun confessed. "I know... let''s end this here, and I am so hungry... I am starving. Let''s go eat something," Jayun suggested. "Hmm, okay," Jayun agreed, hugging her again. "Hey, don''t need to be this emotional. I know you are always here to protect me, my big brother," Jayun said. "But still, you act like you are older than me," Jayyun teased. "Yes, because you are just one minute older, and that doesn''t matter, does it?" Jayun teased back. "Yes, it does. I am still older than you..." Jayyun argued playfully. "Oh, really?" Jayun challenged, starting to tickle his neck, and he laughed, trying to stop her. "Enough now... go and wash up. You smell like a rotten fish. I''ll set the table," Jayun joked as she left the room. "Hey, you can''t insult me like that. I don''t smell like a rotten fish," Jayyun retorted jokingly, then realized that he did have an unusual smell and decided to freshen up. Yujin''s perspective: In the morning, as she was getting ready for school, Yujin received a message from Minsoo asking her to meet in the alley before school. She was confused about whether to go or not but then agreed to meet her. When she reached there, Minsoo wasn''t alone but with a group of girls and boys. Some of them were smoking. "Yujinah... you are here," Minsoo greeted her. "Hey, but why did you call me here?" Yujin asked, feeling uncomfortable in the situation. "It''s nothing. We wanted to go to school together, and these are just my friends. They come here to smoke. These two are also in the same grade but a different class. I''ll introduce you to them," Minsoo explained and introduced her friends. When she reached the one who was smoking, Yujin coughed. "Oh, so she is a daddy''s girl, ahaha. Can''t even bear the smell of cigarette. How is she going to survive with us?" one of Minsoo''s friends mocked, and everyone laughed. "Oyyy, Taeyeon... she is a nice girl, not a b**** like you are, so don''t mock her, or I''ll break your teeth," Minsoo threatened him, and he made an unpleasant face. "I am leaving then. You are already done with the introduction, and it''s not fun," he said as he left. On his way out, he touched Yujin''s skirt and her thigh a little. Everyone just smirked and smiled, ignoring his inappropriate behavior. Yujin left the place with Minsoo and went back to class. Today, Sora was absent because she was involved in a road accident. Yujin felt stressed the whole day because of what happened earlier in the alley. Here''s the continuation of your story with corrected grammar and punctuation: When classes were over, Yujin went to Jayun''s desk. "Hey," Yujin greeted. "Hey... Yujin, how are you?" Jayun responded with a bright smile on her face, resembling sunshine. "I am good, and... how about you?" Yujin asked, her tone filled with concern. "I am always great," Jayun replied again, with the same bright smile and an excited tone. "Can I get your contact?" Yujin asked Jayun. Jayun looked surprised. "Oh, I just want us to be friends," Yujin clarified, smiling. "Sure," Jayun gave her contact information, and Yujin returned to her seat. Minsoo was absent from class as usual; she had skipped again. As Yujin sat, she turned, and her eyes met Jayyun''s gaze. She could feel someone staring at her, and when their eyes met, Jayyun looked down immediately. After classes, Yujin returned to her hostel. Soon after, she received a message from Jayun. "Hey, it''s Jayun." "Oh, I know..." Yujin replied. "Are you studying?" Jayun asked. "No, I''m just thinking about something," Yujin responded. "What? I might be able to help you with it," Jayun offered. "Yes, you can," Yujin agreed. "Oh, really?" "I want to know about Minsoo and her friends, and also about the girls Sora and Rami." "Oh, so we can meet?" "Hmm, okay. Where?" "I''m alone at home, so I think you can join me." "Alright, I''ll be there in just a few minutes." "Okay, I''ll wait for you." Yujin soon arrived at Jayun''s home. They sat in her room, and Yujin began asking about Minsoo and her friends. Lets Get Started Yujin went to Jayun''s home and told her about everyone she had asked about. After listening to all of this, Jayun couldn''t believe how someone could lie like that. Yujin returned home and made a call. "I need information about a person named Lee Minsoo. I need to know everything about her, don''t miss a single detail," Yujin''s voice was calm and relaxing. "And there''s something else I want you to do tonight..." She outlined her plan and then hung up. The following week wasn''t much better than the first day. The bullying continued at the same level but escalated for Jayun, who suffered both mental and physical abuse. Another girl, Sora, hadn''t returned even after recovering from her injuries, and Yujin knew why. After class, Yujin went to Sora''s house, surprising her. "What are you doing here?" Sora asked, visibly shaken. "So you live here. Can I come inside?" Yujin''s tone was composed. "No," Sora replied, her eyes welling with tears, looking terrified. "Why? Are you scared that I''ll also bully you?" Yujin, taller than Sora, leaned down slightly to make eye contact and then smiled. She pushed her back gently and closed the door. Sora seemed seriously traumatized even by this minor push; her mother came out and began shouting at Yujin, hitting her arm, but Yujin hugged her mother. "I''ll help you," Yujin assured them. "How can you help us? My daughter is suffering. I can''t send her to any school because she''s terrified. She doesn''t want to study anymore. She wanted to be a doctor, and I was trying so hard to make that happen. I prepared enough money, but now look at what happened. She won''t even touch her books. You all... you all killed her. I''ll never forgive you," Sora''s mother cried, sinking to her knees. Sora remained on the ground, leaning against the wall, avoiding eye contact with Yujin. "I know your daughter wasn''t injured in a road accident," Yujin said, looking into her mother''s blank eyes. "Why are you telling me this? I can''t do anything even if someone knows or has proof," Sora''s mother said, feeling hopeless as everyone had cut ties with them, leaving her alone to deal with her daughter who constantly tried to harm herself when left alone. "Because I can help you." "How could you help us? Do you even know who she is?" "Who is she?" Yujin asked, although she already knew who Minsoo was, just to confirm it. "She''s Voxen... ruthless and cruel. She doesn''t care about anyone. Not even a single person dares to speak against her. She''s not only bullying students, but also the staff. She gets out of any trouble she wants. She''s never failed any exam, even after not attending it, because she''s Voxen. She''s that bi***." Yujin smiled and held her gaze. "Look into my eyes. If I say I can help, Sora will recover and go back to school. She''ll become a doctor and a brave girl. What do you say? Don''t you want me to help you out?" Yujin''s voice held a tone of sincerity and determination. "You''re also her friend. I don''t know if you''re manipulating me or telling the truth," Sora''s mother replied, her trust in anyone visibly shattered. "Give me a chance. I want to help you, and if you don''t say yes, I can''t do that." "What do you want in return? Why are you trying to help us?" Sora''s mother asked, skepticism lacing her words. "Nothing. I just don''t like that girl doing this to students, and if I can help, it means I should do it." "And if she harms you?" "She can''t touch me. I''m not the average girl who would play without a plan." "Okay, but..." "Listen to me, Sora is just like my sister whom I lost a few years ago because of a tragedy. I can''t explain it; I see her in Sora. I want to help you, please let me help you." Yujin held her mother''s hand and gently rubbed it. Her tone softened, and her warmth reached her mother''s heart, eventually persuading her to accept help. Yujin entered Sora''s room with her, but Sora remained distant. She didn''t come inside but Yujin didn''t force her. "I want to know how it all started," Yujin asked, standing in front of the family photo frame on Sora''s study table. "Why..." Sora''s voice cracked slightly. "Don''t be scared of me. I won''t hurt you. I''m here to help, and if you don''t tell me how it all started, I won''t be able to help you, hmm? Just tell me how it started and how you got in trouble with that a**w***." Sora heard Yujin use such strong language for the first time. She was shocked but also reassured that Yujin wasn''t like Minsoo or her friends. She invited Yujin to sit on the bed, but Yujin chose a chair, positioning herself in front of Sora. "It all started when I got transferred from my old school to this one. I''m not pretty, not a genius, but I was rich. Minsoo came to me and introduced herself, just as she did to you. The very next day, she took me to meet her friends, and one of them touched me inappropriately on my arms and cheeks. I didn''t like it, so I said I didn''t want to be there. I wasn''t scared of her or her friends; I said it to her face. She was being nice and kind, so she said it was alright, we could leave them for me. We returned to class, and everything was normal, but after that day, her friends started following me, even to my home. One of them even tried to assault me... I defended myself and was saved by my father. But after that day, my father went to work and never came back. I don''t even know if he''s still alive or not, if he''s fine or not. We heard nothing, and when we went to the police to report him missing, none of them listened. Everyone insulted us. Till this day, we''re looking for my father. I know he''s missing because he saved me that day. But I miss him. I want him back. I don''t want him to know anything about me; I just want to live happily. I went to school after one week of the incident, and Minsoo approached me again, but this time, she wasn''t a friend; she was a bully. She started taking my money, beating me, and telling me how weak I was, making fun of the fact that my father is missing, using abusive language. Everyone started to stay away from me, and I went to report it to the teacher, but that teacher..." Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. Sora stopped, tears streaming down her face as she looked into Yujin''s calm eyes, finding solace in the listening ear. Yujin wordlessly passed her a tissue. "I know it''s hard, but I won''t hug you to give you a false sense of comfort that I''m nice or that you''re weak and need to feel safe by being hugged." Sora was perplexed by Yujin''s words. "I''m here to solve a mystery. There''s a story behind my transfer, and I want you to help me with this. You''re not alone; there are many others. Just follow what I say, and you''ll get what you want in return." "Will you find my father?" Sora asked with a glimmer of hope. "It''s been four months since he went missing," Yujin replied calmly. "How do you know that?" Sora was shocked by Yujin''s knowledge. "He will be back home soon if he''s alive, and even if I can find anything about him, I''ll tell you," Yujin reassured her. "Can you tell me about the incident that happened a few days ago? What was that road accident?" Sora corrected her, "Oh, that was not a road accident. I was assaulted, and Minsoo and her friends mocked me for being bullied and assaulted by a teacher. They hit me in the head and broke my arm while having fun hitting me; they were like animals and kept hitting me until I lost consciousness and woke up in the hospital." Sora stood up and removed her bandage from her head, revealing the injuries. "They pulled my hair with my skin," she explained, showing the bruises on her body. "They used a blade to mark their sign on me; they cut me with it." "I want to take pictures of these," Yujin said, handing her a camera. "I''ll be back with something you can trust me with. And don''t forget, you''re going to be a doctor; don''t harm yourself or patients won''t trust you with their lives." "Okay," Sora nodded in understanding. Yujin bid goodbye to Sora''s mother and left for home. She was exhausted as Sora lived in a nearby village far from the city, where she moved to keep herself safe from those who had harmed her. As Yujin was about to take a shower at home, she received a phone call. "Yes..." "We have collected the information you needed," the voice from the other side said. "Okay, send it to me in secret," Yujin instructed before ending the call. After showering, she went to sleep. The next morning, the breaking headline was about Voxen. "Voxen has spread like a virus in the city. There''s fear among people that they might not walk safely at night. Incidents of missing people, robberies, and murders have been reported. The police advise people to stay home at night and avoid conflicts as Voxen''s influence grows." Yujin smiled at the news and started getting ready. Her phone buzzed incessantly with conversations about Voxen, with the girl behind it all assuring her friends not to worry, claiming it was her father''s plan to achieve something, and they should relax. It was no surprise that everyone trusted her. Arriving at school, everyone was talking about Voxen''s wrongdoings. "Yujinah," Minsoo called her. Yujin turned around, and Minsoo approached her excitedly. "Come here, I want to tell you something." "What is it?" Yujin asked cautiously. "Come with me," Minsoo said, leading her to an empty room where her friends were waiting. "Yujin, did you hear about the incident on the news today?" Minsoo asked with a hint of excitement. Yujin pretended ignorance, asking, "No, I haven''t. What''s so special about it?" "So you don''t know yet? Just check this out," Minsoo said, handing her phone to Yujin to watch the news, which highlighted Voxen''s recent activities. "Oh, it''s dangerous. But who is Voxen?" Yujin feigned curiosity. "You don''t know yet? You''re friends with her and still don''t know? Everyone laughed." "So Minsoo is Voxen?" Yujin asked, playing dumb. "No, her dad is Voxen, you idiot! Don''t you know how dangerous he is?" Minsoo''s friends chimed in, amused by Yujin''s lack of awareness. Yujin simply smiled at their ignorance. "I don''t want to know who''s how dangerous, but still, a real boss is always a boss," she remarked, giving Minsoo an evil smile, which Minsoo could sense but chose to ignore. "What do you mean?" Minsoo inquired, slightly puzzled. "I mean, it''s Minsoo who is the boss. I think that''s why everyone fears her," Yujin said casually, maintaining eye contact with Minsoo. "And I don''t think I should be worried about anything since I''m friends with Minsoo," one of Minsoo''s friends added confidently. "Yes, you don''t need to worry about anything," Minsoo replied, though her smile had faded. "But everyone here knows Minsoo is Voxen''s daughter, and that''s why they don''t mess with her," Yujin pointed out, still maintaining her relaxed tone and eye contact with Minsoo. "That''s why you bully everyone?" Yujin asked, raising an eyebrow. "Hey, don''t mind her, that was just a joke. I''ll take my leave. I have a class; see you after that," Yujin said nonchalantly, leaving the class. As she walked away, she could hear them whispering in lowered voices. "Minsoo, let''s go to the canteen and eat something; we''re hungry," one of Minsoo''s friends suggested. "Yes, I''ll get it for you for free. You can see what will happen if they refuse," Minsoo said with a smirk, prompting laughter from her friends. Yujin walked back to her class and noticed Rami sitting at her desk, who was also a victim of bullying. Her next target was to find the teacher involved in the assault incident. She asked Jayyun to help her since he was the teachers'' favorite student due to his intelligence. He agreed to assist because Jayun asked him to. While Jayyun was passing out notebooks in class, he discreetly handed Yujin a note. She opened it and found the information she needed. She looked at Jayun but didn''t say anything, taking the note with her to the washroom. From there, she sent that information to someone and returned to class. When Minsoo entered the classroom, everyone fell silent, not daring to look at her. While Minsoo relished the attention, Yujin knew that her enjoyment would be short-lived. "Let''s see how this plays out, Ms. Voxen," Yujin thought to herself, smiling as she glanced at Minsoo, who noticed and smiled back. "How ignorant she is," Yujin thought again, noting Minsoo''s unawareness of the impending changes. The Burning Mark After school, everyone was going home Minsoo after spending time with her friends was tired so she got in the car without realizing who was driving it. She noticed something was wrong as the car taking a route away from home. "Who are you?" she was scared and panicked when she noticed it was none other than his teacher Lee Do Yun. "where are you taking me I told you I would do anything then. Why are you doing this?" she started to cry and tried to open the car door but couldn''t. The car stopped, and the teacher moved from the front seat to the back with Minsoo. she was scared and moved to the door and kept herself away from him but he put his hand on her thighs and rubbed a little. "Mini.... you know what I gave you a particular time to bring me that girl named Rami. But you don''t listen to me, huh? What did I tell you if you can''t bring me the girls I will do it to you and you know that you can''t do anything to me." He was threatening her. "I know... I know that but Rami is not listening to me I don''t know what has gotten into her. I sent her yesterday to you but she said she was called by the principal and can''t go I promise I did what you said."Minsoo tried to clarify the situation. The teacher started to move his hand upward he came closer enough that she could feel his breath on her face. "I don''t need Rami now .... I need someone else..." as he said he went back to sit with the window and removed his hand from her as well. She was relaxed a bit. "Who?" she asked. "Yuji" he looked at her with evil intentions and smiled."if you can bring her to me I''ll give you a reward and leave you alone after that." "Okay I''ll bring her ... I''ll bring her "she agreed immediately. "I want to be with her this Saturday as I know she is living in the hostel I can keep her too so bring her and find me her weakness too. so she can''t escape." "Okay.. can I go now ?" she asked while her whole body was trembling. "no ill leave you at your house " " no no, I can go by myself don''t come to my house" "Why are you so scared i promise I won''t do anything to you "he again rubbed his hand on her cheeks. and then opened the door and sat in the front seat. "he drove back and left her on the road where she took the taxi to her home. "Mini.....come and eat with us i prepared you your favourite dish." As she heard her mom call her mini she became angry and went straight to her room her body was still shaking with fear and the touch she felt she hated it she wanted to kill herself but couldn''t do anything because she had to survive just to save her sister. Stolen novel; please report. The teacher had her sister''s videos where she was SA by him and he was tortureing her calling her again and again for this. When Minsoo found out she asked him not to do anything to them but she would bring him girls wherever he wanted that is why she became a bully and started to live with students who were bullies too. She gave them money and support where they needed it and used them to send students to where he called them. she was doing it without any problem and no one reported her because if Anyone did she would go to the extent of killing them many students were going to those places they were called and none of them was courageous enough to report him as he threatened to upload their videos and kill their parents. The next morning, when Minsoo was leaving for school, she arrived at the hostel first and asked other students about Yujin. However, she couldn''t find any interesting information about her. During break time, Minsoo took Yujin to the back of the school, a dark and unused area with no lights or cameras. "Why did you bring me here?" Yujin asked, observing her surroundings. "Just wanted to be alone with you. Let''s sit here for a moment," Minsoo said wearily, and they sat down on the stairs. Minsoo began sharing about her family, including her sisters and brother. Yujin, in turn, opened up about being an orphan, concealing that she had lost two younger siblings. She also mentioned being rich and living independently with her manager''s assistance since childhood. As they conversed, Minsoo remembered something and asked Yujin to wait while she fetched it. As time passed, Yujin, unafraid of the dark, explored the area, entering abandoned rooms. Suddenly, a group of boys entered, their faces concealed. "Who''s this girl here?" one of them exclaimed upon seeing Yujin alone. Turning to face them, Yujin remained silent as they approached, making suggestive remarks. She initially backed away but then stood her ground and delivered a powerful punch to one of them when they attempted to get physical. "It''d be fun since no one''s recording," one of the boys taunted. Yujin, undeterred, warned them with her background in boxing. Despite her defense, one of the boys struck her head with a stick, causing her to lose consciousness. When she woke up, she found herself in the hospital, with Jayyun by her bedside. "Oh, you''re awake. How are you feeling?" Jayyun inquired, noticing her awakening. "I''m okay, but... why am I here?" Yujin asked, confused. "You were hit in the head by a student, so I brought you here," Jayyun explained. "What is this place? Why can''t I remember anything?" Yujin queried further. "The nurse mentioned you might have amnesia," Jayyun clarified. "And you''re my boyfriend?" Yujin asked, squinting. Surprised, Jayyun managed the situation but realized Yujin''s confusion. "You might not like it when you remember," he cautioned, as Yujin began to cry. "No, I mean... I''m not your boyfriend. We''re just classmates," Jayyun clarified, causing a scene. Yujin, emotional, attracted attention with her accusations, making Jayyun embarrassed. The nurse intervened, noticing Yujin''s unusual behavior. "She wasn''t given anything that could cause this behavior, right?" Jayyun asked the nurse. "I don''t know. Maybe she''s like this in real life?" the nurse speculated. Jayyun, flustered, suggested calling a doctor as Yujin continued to act erratically, confronting the nurse and making baseless accusations. Eventually, her manager arrived and advised her to relax, helping calm the situation. Later, the manager explained to Jayyun that Yujin had a troubled past, which sometimes caused her to act out when distressed. Jayyun couldn''t shake off the feeling that something was amiss. He had noticed an unusual mark on Yujin''s right arm, resembling a burn shape. It puzzled him, but he didn''t bring it up during their interaction at the hospital. As Yujin drifted off to sleep and woke up again, she reverted to her usual composed and mature self. She remembered her behavior and felt remorseful, apologizing to Jayyun for her earlier outburst. Jayyun, feeling a bit unsettled but not wanting to press further, left her under the care of her manager. Back at home, Yujin couldn''t contain her emotions. She cried uncontrollably, feeling as if her body was burning up with an intense heat. Her manager refrained from touching her, noticing the feverish heat radiating from her body. The mark on her arm, shaped like a burning flame, appeared clearer and slightly brighter, adding to the mystery surrounding Yujin''s condition. The Unseen Protector The next morning, when Yujin woke up, she found her manager had prepared her favorite dish, a strawberry cake. "Oh, strawberry cake?" Yujin remarked, a touch of surprise in her voice. She hadn''t had cake in quite a while and was genuinely pleased. "Hmm, it''s so good. Thank you, Mr. Heoyeon," she said, savoring each bite with delight. After finishing her breakfast, Yujin got ready for school and received a message from Minsoo, expressing a desire to meet and apologize. Yujin agreed to the meeting but decided to choose a discreet location, so she called Minsoo to meet in an alleyway. When Yujin arrived at the designated spot, she found Minsoo missing. Waiting for a while, Yujin eventually returned to school, disappointed that Minsoo hadn''t shown up. As she entered the classroom, she noticed Minsoo sitting there, seemingly engrossed in her notebook. "Minsoo?" Yujin called out. "Huh?" Minsoo looked up, feigning innocence. "You messaged me to meet but didn''t show up," Yujin pointed out. Minsoo shrugged, "Oh, I was just embarrassed, that''s all." Yujin nodded, not pressing the issue further, and made her way to her seat. Sora, her classmate, was there, deeply engaged in solving a math problem. "It''s good to see you again, Sora," Yujin whispered softly. "Hmm," Sora responded, not saying much but then discreetly passed a note to Yujin. The note read, "Minsoo called me today to meet her somewhere unknown. She''s watching me closely, making sure I don''t tell anyone." Yujin carefully folded the note and tucked it into her pocket, absorbing the information without a word. As school ended, Yujin noticed Minsoo following Sora, who was apparently going to the meeting place. Yujin decided to tail them but eventually lost track of Sora. Now alone in the unfamiliar alleys, she felt a bit uneasy. "You''re looking for Sora," a voice startled her. Yujin turned to see a man she didn''t recognize. "Yes, but who are you?" she asked cautiously. "I''m your school''s senior teacher," he replied confidently. Perplexed, Yujin questioned, "What are you doing here? And why don''t I know you?" The man smirked, "Because I teach only the best classes, and you''re not in one of them." Yujin nodded slowly, trying to process the situation. "But how do you know I was looking for Sora?" The man''s grin widened, revealing a sinister intent. "Because I asked her to bring you here. She''s my best student, after all." Just then, Sora emerged from the shadows, and the teacher pulled her close, emphasizing his authority over her. "She does exactly as I say," he boasted. Yujin was shocked and frightened. "Sora, tell me the truth. Why are we here? Why did you bring me here?" she demanded, her voice quivering with fear. Sora hesitated, her eyes glued to the ground. "I... I do what the teacher says," she stammered, clearly scared. The teacher chuckled darkly. "See, she''s a model student," he remarked, dismissing Yujin''s concerns. As Sora quickly ran off without looking back, the teacher turned his attention back to Yujin, who felt a sense of dread creeping over her. "Why are you doing this to me?" Yujin pleaded, her voice trembling. The teacher''s demeanor turned menacing. "You''re here for revenge, aren''t you? You want to avenge your siblings," he stated, a cold certainty in his tone. Yujin was stunned. "How... how do you know?" she whispered, her mind racing with confusion and fear. "I know everything about you," the teacher sneered. "And I know about Jayyun too. You''ve involved him in your plans, haven''t you?" Panic surged through Yujin as she realized the extent of the teacher''s knowledge. "Please, don''t harm him. He''s not part of this," she begged, desperation creeping into her voice. The teacher laughed cruelly. "Oh, but why not? You care about him, don''t you?" he taunted, reveling in Yujin''s distress. Yujin felt trapped, her options dwindling as the teacher moved closer, taking her phone to cut off any chance of outside help. "You can''t escape," he gloated, gesturing to the lack of signals in the secluded alley. Tears welled up in Yujin''s eyes as she realized the gravity of the situation. "Please, let''s keep this between us. Don''t involve anyone else," she pleaded, her voice shaky with emotion. The teacher''s smile turned sinister. "I have my ways of handling things," he remarked cryptically. "And you have much to learn about this game." The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. "and you must not know the kids i killed were i keep and eye on their family so they don''t bother me ever . you are a beginner in this game you need to learn something form me.why don''t i teach you this time." The teacher started to move closer and grabbed her from wrist. Yujin attempted to retreat, but the teacher''s grip was firm as he clasped her arms. Desperately, she lashed out with a kick to his stomach, seeking an escape. He reeled momentarily but recovered quickly, seizing her once again and forcing her against the wall. She was immobilized, pinned by his proximity; his body pressed against hers, leaving her no room to maneuver. "You think you can escape? I told you, no one will help you," he hissed menacingly. His lips crashed against hers in a violent kiss that drew blood, his actions brazen and violating. Yujin struggled to scream, but his weight kept her securely in place; her strength was futile against his. She continued to resist, and after a grueling five minutes, it was he who suddenly collapsed, releasing her from his hold. Once released, Yujin''s legs nearly gave way beneath her as she processed the sudden turn of events. With a mixture of shock and relief, she scrambled to her feet and fled without looking back. Frantically, she dialed her manager, pleading for a car to take her away from the hostel for good. At the hostel, she hastily gathered her belongings, her resolve to leave unshakable. A note slipped under her door halted her in her tracks. With trepidation, she retrieved the paper and perched on the edge of her bed. Her hands shook and tears streamed down her face as she unfolded the message. "Do as I say... don''t be smart ass and get yourself killed... we will meet soon... Voxen." The note bore the unmistakable signature of Voxen, confirming its authenticity. Initially in disbelief, Yujin''s emotions overwhelmed her, her cries drawing the attention of the staff. They rushed to her aid, to which she feigned an overreaction to a minor fall, attributing it to the whims of a ''rich kid''. Silently, she completed her packing and returned home, her composure barely containing the flood of emotions. Once within the sanctuary of her room, she allowed herself the privacy to shower and confront the day''s harrowing events. One glimmer of hope remained amidst the turmoil: the unexpected collapse of her assailant had to be an act of intervention. The dawn of Sunday arrived, yet Yujin found herself unable to muster the strength to rise from her bed. The harrowing events of the previous night clung to her, leaving her in a state of shock, her body still quivering with the memory of the vicious assault. As she lay there, enveloped in her own tumultuous thoughts, a sudden knock at the door jolted her from her reverie. It was her manager, bearing a parcel that bore an eerie resemblance to the one she had received the night before. With hesitant hands, she opened it to reveal a pin card. She inserted it, and to her horror, it played back a video of her assault from the previous evening. The chilling footage brought back the raw emotion of the incident, but questions swirled in her mind¡ªWho was Voxen, and why were they helping her? Accompanying the video was a note devoid of any signature, just the mark of Voxen. Its words were a cryptic directive: "This is not enough to prove his wrongdoings. You must protect those in need and take down those who have wronged. You can''t leave a single one unnoticed." The anonymity of the message and the absence of any reliable sign of Voxen''s identity deepened Yujin''s mistrust. She scoured the address on the package but found it led nowhere. Turning to her manager, she implored him to investigate the sender. Compelled by concern, Yujin decided to visit Jayyun, aware that the teacher might have targeted him as well. Upon reaching his residence, the door remained unanswered for a tense interval before Jayun appeared, her eyes ablaze with anger. "What do you want now?" she demanded, her voice heavy with accusation. "What do you mean?" Yujin replied, taken aback. "My brother could have died because of you... and you show up here with ignorance?" Tears welled in Jayun''s eyes as her emotions spilled over. "I didn''t do anything..." Yujin protested feebly. "Alright, come inside..." Jayun''s grip was firm as she ushered Yujin into the house, where Jayun''s brother lay on the bed, his head and face marred by grievous injuries, his hands swollen and bruised. "I am sorry," Yujin whispered, her voice cracking as her own tears began to flow. "What sorry? You could have prevented this... now we are both in trouble," Jayun sobbed, her voice quivering with pain and frustration. She lashed out at Yujin, striking her on the arms in a torrent of grief and confusion. Jayyun intervened, his voice a mix of pain and authority. "Enough, Jayun... enough." Collapsing to the floor, Jayun was the embodiment of despair. "I thought you considered me a friend, but we were just being used... like always. First, I lost my parents, and now... look at him..." She gestured helplessly towards her brother. Yujin stood silent, her gaze fixed on the siblings, her heart aching with guilt and sorrow. "If I had known he was this dangerous, I wouldn''t have involved anyone," she murmured, her voice barely audible. "It''s not your fault," Jayyun replied softly, surprising Yujin. "What do you mean it''s all her doing?" Jayun challenged, her emotions raw. "No, it''s not. Can''t you see? She''s injured too. Look at her face..." Jayyun tried to draw his sister''s attention to Yujin''s battered visage. "I don''t care about these injuries; I just don''t want to lose you..." Jayun''s words were a desperate plea. "He assaulted her... can''t you see?" Jayyun''s voice rose in defense. "She''s hurt too." Jayun''s gaze finally settled on Yujin, and she took in the torn lips and trembling hands. At a loss for words, she simply sat in stunned silence. "He used Sora and Minsoo to lure me there, and then..." Yujin''s sentence trailed off, choked by the recollection. "But I''m alright. He fainted¡ªI don''t know how¡ªbut I was saved. I ran away..." Yujin''s recounting was punctuated by tremors of fear, her mind still haunted by the nightmare of the night before. To Yujin''s astonishment, Jayun''s demeanor softened, and she reached out to embrace her in a hug. The warmth of the gesture contrasted sharply with the chill of despair that had settled in the room. "I don''t know what to say to you anymore, but please don''t come here again. We can''t handle this kind of trouble. We''re not like you, Yujin; we don''t have the means to deal with things on our own... we''re alone," Jayun pleaded, her voice laced with a blend of resignation and sorrow. Yujin felt a pang of anguish as if her heart had plummeted to the depths of despair. She offered a heartfelt apology and made a solemn vow not to return, recognizing the burden her presence brought upon them. As she stepped out of the house, the weight of the world seemed to press upon her shoulders, and her mark glowed with an inexplicable light. Her departure was a quiet one, with no words left to bridge the gulf of circumstances that divided them. Yujin walked away, the heaviness of her heart mirrored by the slow, deliberate steps she took. Each footfall was a silent promise to bear the weight of their collective pain and to tread carefully in a world that had shown them little mercy.
