***

A few days after that. Kim Jin-tae still didn’t come to school.

And that fact made Kang In-ho nervous.

You have to meet them face to face to threaten or appease them, but since you can’t meet them at all, you can’t convey their intentions.

I kept sending messages on my cell phone, but of course there was no confirmation of receipt.

The group’s unity was broken in just one fight.

Kim Jin-tae left the group room, and Kang In-ho himself has not written a single line since being possessed.

Shin Jeong-ah goes to school with a soulless face, seemingly possessed by something, and then suddenly disappears as soon as the funeral is over.

As the main members who were leading the group were shaken, Sung Yun-ho, Mi-jeong, and Jung A-ra, who had been promoted as top names, quietly left the group room and are now peeking their heads at other groups.

In the end, it would have been a group intertwined by mutual interests, not friendship.

Kang In-ho thought so when he saw a side of their world that he did not want to know.

“Eva is also looking for hidden places.”

Regret followed, wondering if it would have been better to finish it clearly that day.

Hearing the bell ringing to signal the end of school, he packed his school bag and went out into the hallway.

Although there were fewer people compared to when he went to school, the school scene was not much different.

We spend the day sharing emotions in groups with like-minded children.

Men gather together and go to a PC room, and women gather together and go to take sticker pictures.

He followed the scene with his eyes for a while, as if he was envious of something.

“…….”

A female student, whose steps did not match the vibrant scenery in her eyes, walked slowly down the hallway.

It was Shin Jeong-ah.

After treating her harshly in class, Shin Jeong-ah became noticeably quieter.

He still gets stares at himself during class, but the frequency is decreasing.

He felt sorry for unintentionally causing violence, but he was secretly satisfied that she did not bother him further.

True to his promise to correct what had gone wrong, he was trying to allay the uncomfortable atmosphere created by his previous body.

Recently, he talked to a few students, including Jeong Sang-hoon, and he showed a steady attitude in class, gradually changing the teachers’ negative perception of him.

Like Kim Jin-tae, there were a few things that bothered him, but for the most part things were going according to his wishes.

I also thought that since we had achieved this in the previous dimension dominated by religion, we would definitely achieve success this time as well.

He was so mistaken.

***

It was like my head was full of smog, my vision was blurry and my ears were deaf.

I couldn’t remember how I got to and from school and how I got home from school.

Shin Jeong-ah has been like this lately.

As if I were the master of the world, I thought there would be a mass lynching as a reaction to what I did at school.

However, there was no direct harm to the point that it was worthless to crouch and tense up, as if preparing for the torment of pain.

So I was relieved at first.

I don’t have to go back to the time when I was treated the same way as I was when I scribbled pictures in a notebook in a corner of the classroom…

She breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as time passed, she realized that she had been thrown into a swamp.

She was thrown into the middle of a swamp called indifference.

No one makes eye contact with her or interacts with her.

In-ho, who spoke to her, treats her as if she doesn’t exist, and Jin-tae doesn’t come to school and doesn’t respond.

Seong Yun-ho, Lee Mi-jeong, and Jeong A-ra, who were close friends, are now playing with other children.

A swamp of loneliness created by complete rejection.

She slowly began to be sucked into the swamp and struggled within it.

It is rare for me to open my mouth and make a sound throughout the day.

I don’t even remember what my voice sounded like.

plod along. She left school and walked down the street.

Where should I go?

This has been my main concern these days.

She didn’t want to go home to a drunk father and a mother who cursed her.

The money in hand has long since run out. All she could do was walk until nightfall.

“Ah… I’m dizzy.”

It seems to be more like this these days.

My stomach hurts and I can’t eat food well.

So during lunch time, I buy milk and bread at the cafeteria, eat them at the place where I always smoke, and spend time there.

My steps were particularly heavy today.

It may have been because I saw Kang In-ho on my way home from school.

I was walking on colorful sidewalk blocks.

The exhaust fumes from a huge dump truck passing by on the road next to her hit her, causing her to vomit.

– Wooook

She bent down, feeling like she was going to spit it out.

As if he hadn’t eaten anything, only sticky saliva was flowing from his mouth.

After nauseating for a while, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and thought.

‘Now that I think about it… when did you do it?’

Shin Jeong-ah, who calculated the date by folding her fingers, made a broken face.
