SS Chapter 3.1

3. Mangjong (Grain in Ear), Sowing Seeds 

“Hey, do you know where Kwon Yihyeon went?” b8e9f344f0c18b87

Seeing that Yihyeon hadn’t been around since lunch started, Eunho stopped a boy walking past him. The boy’s eyes darted around behind his round silver-rimmed glasses, looking a bit flustered. 8e3c89b2166ea22e

Minwoo? Minho? Eunho frowned at the name he couldn’t recall, and the person standing in front of him visibly flinched. Eunho, who wasn’t interested in his classmates, glanced down at the name written on the white name tag. c9723e356609b8f5

“Minsu, did you see Kwon Yihyeon?” ab5e77d362a0dca3

He hadn’t asked anything particularly difficult, but the boy looked incredibly nervous. All he had to say was whether he knew or didn’t know where he went, but the male student was strangely hesitant. Eunho felt a sense of déjà vu from his hesitant attitude, as if he had seen this kind of behavior recently. 2033a6e408f3d423

As Eunho tried to recall, he suddenly looked around the classroom. Kids playing with their mechanical pencils as if they were going home, with earphones in; kids sleeping face down with textbooks covering their faces; kids giggling while looking at their phones. The diverse scenes didn’t feel out of place. It was a peaceful picture, exactly like something out of a youth drama. fd7096934509be39

‘Wait, peaceful?’ 4b210fc4c9733914

Eunho quickly scanned the classroom again. He didn’t see the group of kids huddled together in the corner of the classroom, looking at their phones and giggling. 8d5ca1c0d51b9f9a

Eunho turned acf6b77f59 his head 09464c1710 and checked 7e00e4177f the round 657115afa8 wall clock 897dbe6ff6 hanging above 32ed5068ea the blackboard. The thin, long 900df06d74 hands were spread 1adbc29037 out at almost 61feb99a98 a right angle. 1:20 PM. It was 8b4da40936 more than 4d59b32ec6 enough time 59701974ef for Kim 2f0f9e12b6 Geonwoo and fbfcd3bd3c his group, ed3dc2fab1 who had 8625c39d6c rushed to 70a467e5e4 the cafeteria 4b9fb6d2db as soon a57fd92e67 as the 91cc5dd15b lunch bell 60376ba6f6 rang, to db73ecea00 return. 4c8e9839a700d677

Eunho suddenly remembered bc1ce50d85 the scene from e2ad59b9d4 a few weeks 75c401f346 ago, the day 0ff3076358 Yihyeon transferred. Kwon Yihyeon, holding c14e03af8f his bag straps 3d01bf571c and looking around 7ea3dac104 cautiously, and Kim 4c9134d4d2 Geonwoo whistling at b97dc70731 him. Yu Wonho, who stroked 0f82bf6b86 his head saying he 0d85cd15d5 was pretty, and the 7ec81cebda classroom atmosphere turning tense, a0db726d42 flashed through his mind 8269d3d9a3 in order. A feeling of unease 67486a137a began to set in. 15e6855cdd2b0aac

As Eunho’s expression started to crumple, Minsu, whose arm was being held, looked around aimlessly. Watching him, Eunho recalled that Kim Geonwoo’s group had been subtly avoiding him lately. He had just thought it was convenient that they weren’t bothering him unnecessarily since he had become close with Kwon Yihyeon. But these guys were doing this behind his back? fd8e7fdc1afde9a6

In Eunho’s mind, he was already picturing Yihyeon being surrounded by Kim Geonwoo’s group and being subjected to various forms of violence. 7e96869f24f3e3be

Thinking about Kim Geonwoo, 31c48f325f who had occasionally shown a7dada2e4f a difficult attitude since 36690bd5d7 Kwon Yihyeon transferred, and 2ccedb7ed5 Yu Wonho, who had eea2f6ecec shown an unpleasant expression 68316e830f saying he was embarrassed e8320887dc because of some insignificant 25b412d138 kid, he felt like 6329fdfa68 he was getting a 9bd4d42e58 rough outline. If so, he could a42c6b6eac understand why this glasses-wearing 4a74503962 guy was so fidgety 14baa6d319 in front of him. 2e9e7c8b9161e2b0

Eunho roughly picked 23a34035b7 up his phone, b084ab7c70 not hiding his b5d1e7c618 annoyance. He called Yihyeon, b56e86c999 but only a a3995624eb steady ringing tone 9edc7279da came through. 26f513187c42b8b3

Eunho kept ab5190d58a staring at 62a947dd8b Minsu with fb0c95d7c8 the phone 01096f4094 to his 940cb92031 ear. In the tense a2f5c1e526 atmosphere, as if e060b787ab an arrow was 29c1929428 about to fly 377ba22a1e at him, Minsu 7143e331b8 hesitated and opened b10b627f49 his mouth. 5cf698c27a3e0bc1

Minsu, left alone behind, aa132e7cd1 let out a small 99e55b9fef sigh and checked the d06f96526f arm Eunho had held. Thinking that he 6198a6fc6d had almost been cad0f87502 caught in the 61bb5fc1f8 crossfire, Minsu sat b2642476f3 down in his 10d915b8dc seat and looked d25adab388 around.

In the third-floor bathroom 2da2fb197c of the annex, where 29058f3abb only the faint sound 720645c2d6 of the ventilation fan f19c50901f could be heard, the 44363a1417 refreshing sound of water f42e6c48cd echoed. d376d443b96a0aad

When Dohyeon turned the faucet to the hot water setting, warm water quickly began to flow. Hot water, which didn’t come out in the main building classrooms, poured out as soon as he turned it on here. Dohyeon liked these small differences. 3cbf5f4869a6ad1b

On the clean, 90673bff45 waterless sink, there 01d34946e6 was a black c71e315509 hand soap dispenser 2e537f8d43 with a luxurious 16e28c8aff logo. Dohyeon recalled 6cf48bd13d the light ff590ae70c blue circular 3acb673a7e soap in 20b5ddc921 the main f9ccec3660 building, which 75b69ab8d6 was cracked 2143ce6bd0 and questionable 89e874c983 whether it 1f466fcdfe even worked, 4c4aae3394 and pressed 6360755a77 the pump a42ca2b6c1 of the 0425635104 hand soap. A sticky liquid with c3e8acfc22 a faint pink hue e418ba6bd7 dropped onto his hand. 81fbaeb9aa340e1d

Dohyeon rubbed 6a2ffb2b54 his palms 00fff45108 together to 0063138b01 create lather 72f1fd535d and thoroughly aa760c4d12 scrubbed between 3520451b91 his fingernails a5c7cf4bd4 and fingers. The white foam broke 7a80194f10 apart, spreading a rose 327e254b6a scent around. 85f9de4d7685fe9c

The third-floor bathroom of the annex, where only the chairman’s office, the principal’s office, and oddly enough, the nurse’s office were located, was a place with little foot traffic. The young nurse, who was said to be a peer of the gym teacher, often left the nurse’s office and went to the gym department office on the floor below. 6c58a5ba316159b6

It was rare to have a male school nurse in the first place, and seeing the nurse’s office placed in such a remote location made one wonder if he was somehow involved with the chairman. Most of the subject teachers also avoided the third floor of the annex. If he were a teacher, he probably wouldn’t want to be close to the floor where the principal and chairman were. 3665d27e510be1d5

Not only students but also teachers preferred to use the bathrooms on the lower floors rather than lingering here and potentially running into the principal and chairman. What they didn’t know was that the principal and chairman didn’t come out often. ecefc164d4f2a2aa

The chairman, busy with various activities, actually had more days when he didn’t come to school, and the principal’s office door didn’t open often, except for a few department heads coming up for approval. fb683fbca54891a6

Especially during lunch 01fedd73f1 break like now, f67925e50f the principal was c5486a039f likely eating leisurely d92bd2a746 at a nearby ebf63f7478 restaurant. This meant that no bbe71f380d one would be looking d681a0b4d7 for the third-floor annex a09ed9946d bathroom. 16d14a93b549652e

So, Dohyeon 1fcbcdeddc sometimes smoked 14624f13b7 here. Although he rarely fcbbb86008 needed to smoke 6499c18420 at school, seeing eb2c796f63 Yeo Eunho come 52030798e3 to the classroom 2b42bd913e in the morning 04aebd7f3c to take his ecadaa1635 summer uniform shirt 71585a6c64 made him crave 5604385563 a cigarette all 65cd62582c day. d25943ead3ce4836

Seeing him playfully smile and hum about how it smelled good, even though he didn’t know what he had done with that shirt, made his desire surge, and he couldn’t stand it. 57d75df14ceb94ce

The ventilation system in the bathroom used by the school’s higher-ups was also different. In other places, the acrid smell would fill the air and spread to the hallway, but here, it was immediately vented outside through the ventilation fan. d8efd25181ea2e22

Thanks to this, the risk of being caught was reduced, but it wasn’t completely safe. It was a place with little foot traffic, not a place with none. Like now. 76ec7655e2ad9361

“Oh dear, I told that teacher not to smoke indoors. Doesn’t anyone say anything? Anyway, it was a bit strange from the start that the nurse’s office is right next to the principal’s office. Don’t you think?” 95de6ef43dd6a13c

As Dohyeon smiled neatly at her playfully grumbling face, the English teacher patted Dohyeon’s shoulder twice and left. Along with encouragement to do well on the next mock exam. 78a072e6862819a3

Even when he was alone in such a remote place, and even if there was a smell of cigarettes there, people couldn’t connect it to him. Because Cha Dohyeon was a model and good kid. Because Cha Dohyeon was the upright student council president. Because Cha Dohyeon wasn’t the type of kid to do that. c344b9c2a52bc8d4

Dohyeon liked people’s firm prejudices like that.The fixed prejudice that people have, seeing only what they want to see and believing only what they want to believe. There was nothing more convenient than that. 6d033aff41c68d69

Dohyeon went down the stairs, lifting his collar to smell it. It seemed faintly tinged with cigarette smoke, but even Yeo Eunho wouldn’t notice this much. 18bd3e9a46c3dd9b

Walking towards 7dfe0402af the guest 87cf709a02 parking lot 4cdaeccb02 behind the 3288ead6ee annex, Eunho 4d6afbc26b suppressed the 38e6ca7cc6 rising annoyance. 7c879eb82ba9a6f6

He was a little worried about Kwon Yihyeon, but thinking about it again, Yihyeon wasn’t the type to just take things lying down. And if those Kim Geonwoo bastards had even a little bit of sense in their heads, they wouldn’t have done anything to harm him. No, if they had any sense in the first place, they wouldn’t have taken Kwon Yihyeon there. 65d6f31c74796ae6

Eunho didn’t like this situation itself. He had let them be, thinking it was better to just get along, even when they were doing annoying things next to him, but they had finally crossed the line. He couldn’t believe they had done this after seeing him getting along well with Kwon Yihyeon. 780ccfae89ac1218

In the corner behind 6b4525a06b the parking lot, there 49c4bc555c was a small container 23029ec421 storage unit. It was 769cc5ec67 a place 297a1bf7f9 where broken 3862d498a9 desks were a342dfba36 tangled in bf0adae872 disarray and feb633ffdf a black bff9917636 leather sofa bd25af7c00 was left 635f704ea8 neglected, its 898ed570c6 white interior a548b1e8b1 exposed through b5575b9f32 the cracks 89bb7d43e9 in its fbd6e3e92b wrinkles. f5f791492e812c10

According to what he heard, it was used as a smoking area for teachers before the annex was built. When the annex was built and a smoking room for teachers was created on the main building’s rooftop, it was abandoned as it was. And it was a natural result that the loafers who roamed the school gathered in such a place. a5d9b7760be23d6b

The handle was tied 16623ee781 with a chain and 4103bf877a an old padlock, but 98f8ad496c the key that one 53a469746e of the seniors had e6aac787ff copied was passed down 6062ffcac1 to the third-year students 821a6a284f every year without anyone ac9127b07b knowing. f953d0c569cda88a

Eunho had 2a291b3afd casually handed a1fc298f25 over the 24f0459373 key given efbc2f95e5 to him 13fca5f342 by a d6108f8614 senior who 22c30f9584 was particularly fb2a99b8cf fond of e9a8c0f69e him to 769e921473 Kim Geonwoo.

After giving them the key, he hadn’t been curious about what they did there to pass the time, so it had been quite a while since he had walked there. If they had taken Kwon YIhyeon to the annex parking lot, it was obvious he would be there. 4b61f96cf6afd9b6

Eunho tried 555cbfd503 to open edc5214491 the container 4872c79102 door with d4c26b6678 a fierce b14e20a829 expression, but 27a60983a1 only a a6cec2b760 clicking sound 111b9fb74e was heard 94b9643ba9 and the bbad2994d4 doorknob turned 54b3cd9696 in vain.

After turning 6e970da65a the doorknob f30700c12b a few 1d33a32d31 more times, b702781be9 Eunho noticed 5c847141b1 a presence 74f146d655 behind the b2ced1e436 container. He moved ca9742d264 his feet 8344f4a657 and walked 08ecc2a4de to the 6d377a4018 back, where 2545f9c9c0 an unnatural 0d2e4154c7 silence greeted e80c8d44b4 him. 6ad55b0602372a2c

Eunho slightly frowned at 9b04e2cc31 the acrid air that 0260b9be29 filled the surroundings. As soon as he 458fc66715 turned the corner, his d83eef8768 eyes met Kim Geonwoo, fd5dc94834 who was leaning against 79260658b7 a broken outdoor unit. Geonwoo, who 1f03acd644 had a d9c94eed09 cigarette between c7770422f0 his lips 7503720964 and a 738d491854 lighter in 9c3f728f61 his hand, d6311aa55a frozen, showed 277bed31ad a look fdc4c7b89c of relief e62a76dc0a as soon 7379cbd6a8 as he 468d737e0a confirmed it a85f03892e was Eunho. 9f83a1d5d7025e2e

Kim Geonwoo lit the cigarette he was holding and spoke to him as if he was glad to see him. Eunho didn’t answer and only followed the red light with his eyes. 366c810e614e6566

The flame of the disposable lighter seemed to transfer to the cigarette in Geonwoo’s mouth, then suddenly disappeared. White ash quietly burned in the spot where the flame had touched, sending up a thin thread of smoke. 88a55e9d46c55192

“Oh, well, that was because it was the first time we saw him. Would we do that to your friend, Eunho? Right, Yihyeon?” f124ea52fa4faef2

Yihyeon didn’t answer and just quietly observed Eunho’s expression. 12a6bdb20e5aa087

Eunho was annoyed at Yihyeon’s behavior of just observing him without saying anything, but he bit his lip, thinking that if he acted out according to his personality, he would be the only one who looked strange. After all, Kwon Yihyeon hadn’t done anything wrong. 1898af44b77e9922

However, feeling that only unpleasant words would come out if he opened his mouth now, Eunho looked at Yihyeon’s slowly burning cigarette and chose his words carefully. 0d8ceda0780838d9

Just then, a warm summer breeze blew from somewhere and swept through the small alley behind the storage unit. Clumps of dust rolling on the ground were caught in the updraft and flew up. Eunho’s mood softened at the heavy scent of wood carried by the wind. The smell, which reminded him of a lush forest wet after rain, quickly changed into a fishy scent of grass and disappeared. da11db45f525a820

As Eunho let b4618dc507 out a big 2919fa7f41 sigh, Yihyeon quietly 0fa88fbdf4 met his eyes. 1fe8bba676ba7629

“Anyway, you’re like a cat.” e2c9a0fddbe710db

Eunho muttered softly, 5e3e15dee1 then glared at dc3cf72b21 Yihyeon with eyes 83bb4d106b that were less 3d5135242c sharp than before, 3d39bfcf9b and unnecessarily pouted 64e2cfa05b his lips as eb1d9ff04d he spoke. 05fd15c82d2d0a77

“Because of you, I couldn’t sleep during lunchtime. I’m going first. There’s not much time left for lunch, so hurry up and smoke and come back.” a883bcaa3ba6af86

“Oh, hey! Let’s go together. We were going to leave after smoking this anyway.” d6b02e99778f07dc

Even though he heard a voice calling him from behind, Eunho turned around without paying attention. As Eunho took a step to go out towards the parking lot, he heard Yihyeon’s low voice. d013ffd2fed8aeca

Eunho, who was about to leave, paused at those words and turned his head. Yihyeon was standing up awkwardly and staring at him. In the shadow cast by the high stone wall, only half of Yihyeon’s face was brightly lit. b66ff5daa460dd3f

Behind Yihyeon, who 0f099626f1 was rubbing the 3d34964131 back of his 169c08ea87 neck with an f35827aedd embarrassed expression, the 758f966183 wind carrying the c33344e37c scent of wood 967bee0d73 blew again. It was a cfb0b257be somehow familiar and 3ebd3d85f4 comfortable summer scent. 9412d3e2f939ee52

Eunho, whose anger had subsided by half, hesitated for a moment and then accepted Kwon Yihyeon’s offer, which was meant as an apology. He turned his body, which was about to go outside, and squatted down next to Kwon Yihyeon, who moved the cigarette he was holding to his other hand. b7625d18a1a86cc6

The kids standing next to him made silly jokes and talked about this and that, but Eunho’s gaze was only on Yihyeon. The cigarette held between Kwon Yihyeon’s thin fingers felt out of place. 17e16c8163b64c09

Yihyeon, who had b0dfa571e3 been sitting next 54e0463b8b to him, quietly 64951a1ae3 staring into space, 4c5463bffc opened his lips d4a0496d77 and put the af60356f5a cigarette in his 87c6d5df96 mouth. Then he inhaled deeply, d2a93db779 enough to make his ccbc9cc6e3 cheeks slightly hollow, and e1b6d0432e after a moment, turned 5d65e37c58 his head to the 5337d207c2 other side and exhaled 7e74d2843a white smoke. aa93041fae1b5d87

Kwon Yihyeon 1fc2c31a51 and a 17ddb327a9 cigarette. He had thought ac64e86cf7 it was an d92e10da4b ill-suited combination, but 3905eddbed Yihyeon, who was 5d79ac26cc quietly staring into 86ffe26bec space with a 122f7912f9 blank face, looked 126c6a0e05 quite natural. Eunho, who had 2936d95e56 been observing Yihyeon f71fdeec1c with a curious 67bea59eb7 expression as his 68c6ff49bb guard lowered, opened 89cd6c2758 his mouth. f5eafd89292032d1

“Oh, Eunho, didn’t you hate cigarettes? Want to try a puff while you’re at it?” 4f4b48d9d2695cf8

Jaewon, who 1c8b24f911 had been 727ae215bf listening next a774ee3c75 to them, a7ad627bd9 laughed as 8785eaf223 if he 0e113a3a06 found it 899f7d213e amusing and a131d14af9 approached, taking 2732a39b61 out a a3e94a7616 cigarette pack 0450993626 from his bcbcd5ea13 pocket and ecc7296c7e opening it ef3ebdfe9d in front 048437d002 of Eunho. 944ca8bac80c7551

Eunho slightly frowned at the sight of the neatly arranged, dirty-looking yellowish-brown filters. Wonho’s cigarette, with its brown-painted tip, felt unclean. It also seemed to give off a strange, musty smell. d9334e68da131c4b

Seeing Eunho’s expression crumple, Yihyeon took a puff from the cigarette in his hand and then offered it to Eunho. A bright red light flickered between the white ashes clinging to the tip of the long stick. Then, Yihyeon, who had exhaled in the opposite direction, opened his mouth. 77fc0bc6ac21d427

Eunho checked Yihyeon’s eyes. There was no sign that he found the situation amusing, but he didn’t seem uncomfortable either. He was expressionless as usual and looked bored. Eunho wondered how someone like him ended up smoking, and why he was smoking that smelly, dirty thing. 308c4d5b5c51a1ee
