In Byuksan, Yeon Si-eun never had a peaceful day.
The quiet, almost indifferent student was constantly bothered by Yeong-bin and his gang. However, Si-eun seemed not to care in the slightest.
What he did care about, though, were his studies. Si-eun spent day and night studying, consistently ranking as the top student in his class.
But there was a day when everything reached its breaking point.
During an exam, Yeong-bin ordered the new student, Beom-seok, to stick a drug patch onto Si-eun’s neck.
Beom-seok hesitated, but out of fear of being bullied again like in his previous school, he did it.
Si-eun began to feel extremely unwell during the exam, so badly that he had to rush to the bathroom. When he returned to the classroom, Si-eun quickly realized what had happened. He wasn’t foolish.
As the exam correction began, Si-eun got one answer wrong, which made him lose his composure.
No one interfered with his studies.
He stood up from his desk, gripping his red pen tightly. Turning on his heel, he walked straight toward Yeong-bin. On the way, he grabbed a textbook from another student’s desk. When he reached Yeong-bin, he slammed the book into his face and stabbed one of his friends in the hand with the pen.
Si-eun then wrapped Yeong-bin’s head with the classroom curtain and continued hitting him with the book until his nose broke and he collapsed to the floor.
Just as Si-eun was about to step on Yeong-bin’s face, he was pulled back by Su-ho, who had finally woken up.
Su-ho calmly told him not to cross the line and that it was enough. He even let out a small laugh.
Filled with rage, Si-eun threw a pencil case at Su-ho’s face and grabbed a chair, attempting to strike him with it. But Su-ho was far more skilled and managed to dodge it.
Si-eun didn’t stop, and Su-ho ended up punching him in the face, telling him he should have stopped when he was told.
At that moment, a teacher entered the classroom to restore order. Su-ho quickly made an excuse, trying to ensure Si-eun wouldn’t get into serious trouble.
Later, Beom-seok tried to apologize to Si-eun for what he had done, but Si-eun refused to accept his apology. A few days later, Su-ho seemed to appear everywhere Si-eun went, and the two eventually became friends. Si-eun also formed a friendship with Beom-seok, creating a trio.
