TRCE Ch 3

Wijung didn’t understand why 54039eebe2 the teacher, who resembled 300d873cb1 Duke Roberlemon, cared about 725e2c7235 a bored student, or 018ea24698 what he meant by 210272bd26 going out and coming 11419faf49 back to collect himself. Wijung started to retort but 93052d98a7 stopped himself and stood up b9d5cd0159 from his seat.1d605b6404ffb478

Screech. The other students 5cbe0c84fc in the class dff8b705b5 cast anxious glances b28513e461 at Wijung as fb991906fc he stood up 0e743eebc5 without hesitation. The teacher’s already expressionless face c76132d5ed hardened even further. His deskmate, sitting e9e3da71e4 next to him, 301a6e9055 nudged him and ebba1148e6 asked,c6a4a08ea6d65ef0

“Are you crazy?”99bd7e66a97e759e

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.22a4ac07e3a9bf85

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.6029f58e75c0725c

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.3864867860dcae72

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.e385582ce877143c

No, really, if c6ce000c7d he’d done something 887272793e wrong, they would 2ac364cf65 have just punished 6daf8e38fa him, but for 21ac34ecf9 all the teachers 08246242ea to intervene, saying 1b4d732c78 it would go 259149df29 on his permanent 27eae8e9c2 record… He wondered da53b0b7b5 how great a 9790be8c06 student ‘Kim Wijung’ c3d4b492fb was for all 094cfd66a8 the teachers to 59f2e6a9bb step up for 37c91b18dc him.

The Kim Wijung Lee Taewook 3025747e1e knew and the man in ad474219c3 front of him were vastly 100a361087 different. Kim Wijung had a 3e48749b9a bright and outgoing personality. He always smiled to 586bcae120 hide his cold impression bc3bfee976 with upturned eyes. Thanks to his b556bddf02 good looks and 97a31c7cb0 his reputation for 38f0147ffe being a nice 68f70dd4d3 guy, he was 1a5c11b54d popular with both 14c62a6cd5 boys and girls. Despite giving off 193dba32ec an outwardly intimidating 60354ba814 aura, the fact e1f1964428 that people flocked 6dec665099 around him was 52d24bed18 the result of 39eb869a02 his efforts to 2cc625ecc3 avoid being perceived d9aa4895b3 as burdensome.f8ea1b0cc1a97b59

Then, all day long, he f36cf96598 either went to the nurse’s 358c686809 office or slept on his a2bbda55bb desk, using the excuse of 8637e4ea75 not feeling well.15be6411c59fe23f

He hadn’t shown a3dc92ade2 his usual talkative 9a839a23fc self, nor his 43a6891605 bright smile.

His friends seemed to have tacitly agreed to leave Wijung alone for the day, thinking something must be wrong. However, Taewook couldn’t do that. In just one day, the person had changed too much. It wasn’t something that could be explained away by not feeling well. There had to be another, bigger reason.e09f753702ff784b

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.632d0661d61e75a7

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.be6e06c6dbd5877b

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.

Wijung opened his closed eyes at the languid, low voice. The psychiatrist was typing something on his computer under the sunlight streaming diagonally through the blinds.

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.d29a8b749acf7c5b

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.936c5ee9e28da15b

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. For instance, hadn’t he come to the hospital because he was forced to?4d14eaf2b115ea32

Wijung calmly looked at the doctor. He stared intently through the doctor’s glasses, which glittered in the sunlight. Kang Kimuk didn’t react.

It was a previous medical record Wijung didn’t know about.c8cb47deb90871be
