After having an orgy with four girlfriends in front of Gong Young-bae.

We untied Gong Young-bae, who was unconscious and was lying limp on the chair, left him in the warehouse, and then left without locking the door.

We were very considerate in allowing him to go home once he came to his senses.

And the next day, Sunday, our class gathered once again to practice for the group talent show, just like yesterday.

Since Suyeon didn’t need to wear a mask anymore, she cuddled up next to me and acted cute like she did yesterday.

“Seon~Bae~ Did you eat lunch? If you ate it, would you like me to give you some chocolate?”

“Hmm, I’m craving it? If you have a lot, will you give me just one?”

“Hihi, come on.”

Suyeon took out a single piece of flat chocolate, opened the bag, put it gently in her mouth, and stuck her head out.

“What are you doing? Oh my gosh (What are you doing? Eat quickly).”

Seeing her cute charm, I smiled and pressed my lips together.

Besides us, there were a few other kids in the classroom who had come earlier, but we didn’t pay any attention to them.

“Oop…♥”

Their lips overlapped and their tongues mingled with the piece of chocolate between them.

As the chocolate melted with body heat, it went into each other’s mouths, and we continued kissing like that for a while.

The girls’ faces turned bright red and covered their mouths with their hands as they watched me and Suyeon kissing, and the boys looked like all kinds of emotions mixed together, including envy, jealousy, and envy.

Finally, one person couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked.

“Hey Han Seongjin, you’re so fucking boo… No, that’s not it. Is it okay to be like this? You are dating Yuri Lee. Does he know?”

“Yuri? Uh, I know.”

“I see. Then you won’t be caught… No, you know?”

“Uh. I’m dating Yuri and I’m dating Suyeon. We both know that.”

“…… They both allowed it?”

“Wait a minute, then what is that photo that was circulating on the Internet the other day? The girl who came out there also said you were her boyfriend?”

“Uh… she’s my girlfriend too.”

“……”

“……”

“Han Seong-jin, from now on you are all our ‘enemy’.”

“Because of you, at least two of us can’t date women!”

“They are not crazy people. Without me, you and Suyeon and Yumin wouldn’t be dating right away.”

“Wow you trash child~”

When I received the boys’ joking criticism mixed with a bit of sincerity, Sooyeon crossed her arms around me and glared at everyone.

“No matter how much my seniors do, I only look at senior Seongjin?!”

“Damn it… When I heard there was a fight, I thought they broke up and I thought I would have a chance too…”

And such minor disturbances were soon suppressed by the class leader.

“Try to be quiet! Is everyone here? First, let me connect my laptop and figure out the number of people! Sit in the same spot you practiced yesterday!”

After hearing the class president’s words, everyone, including Yuri, Suyeon, and Eunji, returned to their chairs and sat down.

The class leader continued to compare numbers with his cell phone while counting with his hands.

“21 people… Kids who can’t come today because of academy… Let’s see, 5 people… Total 27 people… Huh? Is there one vacancy?”

The class leader knew that one person was missing, so he checked who was there one by one and checked the names of the kids who couldn’t come today. After standing like that for a while, he figured out who the vacancy was and asked.

“Gong Youngbae, are you here today? Why did you go to the bathroom just now?”

At those words, me, Yuri, Suyeon, and Eunji looked at each other’s faces at the same time.

And didn’t say anything.

Other kids gave the answer instead.

“Now that I think about it, I guess I didn’t see it?”

“Didn’t you come? I came early today and I never saw you.”

“Didn’t you come? I’ll call you.”

The class leader called Gong Young-bae’s cell phone.

And as he put his ear to his cell phone, he looked embarrassed.

“Huh? I heard the phone is off?”

“What is it, diving?”

“No, I’m going to see you tomorrow anyway, so is there any point in turning off my phone?”

“Yuri, aren’t you close with Gong Young-bae? Is something wrong with him?”

When the class leader asked, Yuri only looked at the class leader who asked the question, not at me, and then shook her head.

“No, I don’t know either.”

“Oh, what is it? I can’t contact you. What should I do?”

I said, calming down the anxious class president.

“First of all, we don’t have time, so wouldn’t it be better to practice first as if we don’t have time? It’s not a dance you can’t do without one person.”

“Gun… Let’s do that for now. Anyway, he’s not the only one who’s not here right now, and a few more people couldn’t come because of schedules. First, let’s practice among ourselves. Play the song.”

The class president gave up on contacting Gong Young-bae, and the rest of us practiced the choreography by coordinating the movements together.

And after practicing for several hours, we all head home together.

I walked down the street and talked with Yuri, Suyeon, and Eunji before they dispersed to their homes.

“Gong Young-bae That bastard, isn’t he still trapped in the warehouse? At that time, I definitely untied all the strings properly.”

“You lifted and moved the chair she was sitting on. I came to see you clearly lying on the mattress, but what.”

“And that’s how you lock the door from the inside, right? If you’re inside, you can’t be trapped even if you want to.”

“Aren’t we just talking about what happened to us for no reason?”

We each said something, but none of us were worried about Gong Young-bae’s safety.

I chuckled at Eunji’s words.

“What are you talking about, you coward? If I have the courage to do that, I will see that bastard again. And…”

I turned my head back and looked at the Jinsu Bridge building and said.

“Even if you make a fuss, there is no evidence. There is no CCTV inside the academy fence, and we cleaned and wiped down the warehouse yesterday before leaving.”

“If I think about it, it might have been better if I didn’t come today and hid like a coward. Because I don’t think I can even control my facial expressions when I see that kid anymore.”

Yuri shook her head, as if she didn’t want to even think about Gong Young-bae.

And the next day, Monday.

It was time for assembly and everyone was seated, but one of the desks in the classroom was still empty.

When the teacher entered the classroom and saw that one seat was clearly empty, he tilted his head and asked everyone.

“Why is there an empty seat over there? Whose seat is it?”

The kids who checked the empty seat muttered among themselves and answered in muttered voices without even knowing who was answering.

“Gong Yeong-bae.”

“Youngbae? You were never late? Has anyone ever received a call from Youngbae saying he was sick or something?”

Awkward silence.

“Nothing? Please contact the class leader.”

“Yes.”

Then the class president called Gong Young-bae once again, and less than 10 seconds later, he put down his cell phone again.

“The phone is turned off.”

“What?”

“Teacher, I didn’t mention it yesterday, but in fact, I called Gong Young-bae when he didn’t come during group practice yesterday, but his phone was turned off at that time too…”

“What, do you know what happened to him? Okay, the teacher will call Youngbae’s house, so don’t go anywhere and just stay for a moment.”

After a brief assembly, the teacher returned to the teacher’s office, and everyone talked about Gong Young-bae for a while.

As there were many kids who did not know the true identity of Gong Young-bae, most of them were worried that something was really going on.

Of course, me, Yuri, Suyeon, and Eunji didn’t say a word about Gong Youngbae or worry about him.

After a while, the teacher who had gone to the teacher’s office came back and informed us about Gong Young-bae’s situation.

“I called home and they said they were at home… Have you ever bullied Youngbae in a group?”

“…? No.”

“I practiced without incident on Saturday as well.”

“No, but why do you say you don’t want to go to the academy? Are you sure you’ve never bullied him? Seongjin Han!”

When a problem like this arises, the teacher always calls my name as the number one suspect.

“Did you ever bother Youngbae?”

“No.”

Of course, if you bullied someone, you were bullied, but there is no reason to tell the truth to the teacher.

“You know that I have stopped doing such things starting this year, and those who would do such things with me have now been expelled from the academy.”

“Ah… of course. Something big happened during your first semester. Hmm, hmm. I’m sorry for doubting you, Seongjin. No, then why on earth…?”

Suddenly, the teacher, who seemed to be having a hard time managing the kids, frowned even more and left the classroom again for the first period class.

Naturally, Gong Young-bae did not come to the academy that day or the next day.

Originally, the people who were closest to Gong Young-bae were Yuri, Su-yeon, and Eun-ji, but since all three of them have turned into Gong Young-bae’s enemies, there is no one who can properly understand what he is up to.

If he had gone missing, other children would have been worried and anxious, but since the teacher checked with Gong Young-bae’s parents and confirmed that he was home safely, interest in Gong Young-bae’s fate cooled just as quickly.

By Friday, the conversation among the kids about Gong Young-bae’s absence had almost ceased.

Rather, thanks to the interest in the start-up festival, such as looking forward to who would come out with what individual/team talent show following the class group talent show, and what each class theme would be, even Gong Young-bae’s continued absences cooled off very quickly.

As a week passed, no one talked about Gong Yeong-bae, and the date of the launch ceremony continued to get closer.
