TRCE Ch 3

Wijung didn’t understand 744691292e why the teacher, cbca090a72 who resembled Duke 28e921755e Roberlemon, cared about 6162a0b221 a bored student, 3fca8b500a or what he 94415e7d28 meant by going a4a3e4b4aa out and coming b186dacf1f back to collect 3db780880b himself. Wijung started to retort but a2eb7c600b stopped himself and stood up b1063d72a3 from his seat.5067dd84d5b0c21b

Screech. The other students 440a9e80ae in the class 3c77376177 cast anxious glances 7501e634d8 at Wijung as 52bc092473 he stood up 47541242df without hesitation. The teacher’s already expressionless face af3ed0c0bf hardened even further. His deskmate, sitting 4cbaec168e next to him, 62c6a8cc31 nudged him and 6ef9402b50 asked,401b7f40ca340973

“Are you crazy?”ce9a470179262957

Wijung didn’t react. He had been wanting to get out of this boring class anyway. Ignoring the reactions of everyone in the classroom, Wijung walked out. From inside the classroom, he could hear the sound of the teacher forcibly calming down the now-noisy students and struggling to continue the lesson.dea75739bfbf3862

Not knowing what the teacher meant by going out and coming back, Wijung turned and left the school building. As he crossed the playground, several of the students playing soccer shouted, “Whoa!” and looked at him quizzically as he left the school.12d76494b3c36c7d

Wijung himself didn’t care. He was preoccupied with clearing his confused mind and had no interest in what anyone else was doing. Therefore, he didn’t notice Shim Jaeyul, who had been walking across the schoolyard, stop and stare at him.c584c2ce46f59fd6

Since Wijung usually had good academic performance, he wasn’t disciplined even after his sudden outburst during modern and contemporary history class. Thinking he was stressed about his studies, the other teachers defended him and calmed down the history teacher, who was furious.03a751839846bef8

No, really, if he’d done 1304b2a9f0 something wrong, they would have 978c3e94af just punished him, but for e832663bb2 all the teachers to intervene, 0bda4a7f7b saying it would go on 232ade82e1 his permanent record… He wondered 7d2a61fbe2 how great a student ‘Kim 5c730c9689 Wijung’ was for all the 571db72b75 teachers to step up for 9890c67e9c him.

The Kim Wijung Lee 3ed03f2217 Taewook knew and the 3c0fab9660 man in front of 7d71f11077 him were vastly different. Kim Wijung had a 467c8b2219 bright and outgoing personality. He always smiled to 1945216811 hide his cold impression 9e46709789 with upturned eyes. Thanks to his 79c03f5d44 good looks and 72b57a5b8a his reputation for e58487d180 being a nice 7f0607303a guy, he was d18da78f62 popular with both 8a7dc37cd1 boys and girls. Despite giving off an c1ee03d94e outwardly intimidating aura, the ac62044a7b fact that people flocked ce6daae770 around him was the b236d46d95 result of his efforts 1a228a2efb to avoid being perceived 374efb416b as burdensome.a4406a15531cc1dd

He hadn’t shown d077394896 his usual talkative 74fa8bd620 self, nor his e539956488 bright smile.

Seeing his mother like this made Wijung uncomfortable. He hadn’t even had time to feel the joy and emotion of having his mother, who had passed away ten years ago, alive, but he was already causing her worry.dd15e74c323be037

Wijung couldn’t ignore his mother. It was also reaching his limit pretending not to notice Heeun constantly watching him. Even his family was uncomfortable, watching each other anxiously. If he thought about it, it was true that this had all happened because of him. If someone were to be held accountable, Wijung would have to take full responsibility.d7b2d276cea56c0c

He was rather relieved by that. He was sick of school life, where everyone he met greeted him and clung to him with a smile, as if they knew him. It felt like he finally had some breathing room.

The man in his mid-forties had a name tag that read ‘Kang Kimuk, Psychiatrist,’ on the chest of his white coat. Unlike his dull appearance with a receding hairline, he was a man with sharp intuition. He knew how to react in a way that allowed him to catch the subtle psychological changes in his patients. He didn’t particularly like the way the doctor was sensitively observing his every blink and gesture.0ac4b580b355944a

He had realized one more thing in this world: perhaps because of his status as a ‘high school student,’ despite being an adult, everyone treated Wijung like a child. The world Ilya lived in wasn’t like that. Even if you were young, you had to pull your own weight. Whether you were a merchant or worked the fields, you were treated as a unit of labor. Therefore, they valued strength and intelligence more than age.13a367c72d5cb275

Here, such individual tendencies or characteristics were treated as separate issues. First, they prioritized age, whether someone was a student, and whether they needed a guardian. Thanks to this, Wijung couldn’t do anything he wanted. They said that at twenty, he was an adult who could do anything, yet not once could Wijung choose what he wanted.

Wijung calmly looked at the doctor. He stared intently through the doctor’s glasses, which glittered in the sunlight. Kang Kimuk didn’t react. The chart he had been working on earlier on his computer also showed Wijung’s medical records from a year ago when he received psychiatric treatment. It was a previous medical record Wijung didn’t know about.fdc30ce7186033b5

Diagnosis: Dissociative Disorder. Kim Wijung had already been 58f6dbc1db diagnosed as a patient with 71dcf931d6 two coexisting personalities. The chart contained the 6b4601f8ff name of the other f3c8539dda personality.2cb694d7954a3360

Ilya Rotav. Unlike other dissociative cb138d9079 disorder patients, Kim 3e3e6d9bc6 Wijung seemed to b993af6149 have the characteristic b34ae3c94c of lending his 7b014cc720 body to another 9a20a4d0fa personality for quite 7d923e8675 a long time.
