Chapter 14: Whistleblower

The temporary establishment of the counseling club was, for now, a success.

This is because we knocked down four female students who tried to interfere, so there is no one left to interfere.

And the reason it’s a ‘temporary’ establishment is because we were short on members.

Clubs belonging to the ‘other’ category, like the counseling club, require a minimum of three members, and right now it’s just Kim Noeul and me.

Kim Noeul couldn’t take her eyes off the club activity form.

She was looking at her name written in the president column with fascination.

“Do you like it that much?”

“…I’ll have to work hard.”

Kim Noeul tried to hide her emotions, but the slight upturn of her lips gave away that she was happy.

Unlike our amicable atmosphere, the mood of the two girls staring at us from afar was not so good.

One was a cat-like girl glaring at us while chewing gum, and the other was a girl standing in an awkward posture.

The latter’s long hair almost covered her face, making it hard to recognize her.

‘Jin Heeyoung and Na Yuna.’

Jin Heeyoung is the counseling club president, and Na Yuna is a member.

However, Na Yuna was different from the other counseling club members.

She was far from a delinquent, rather a female who was close to being an outcast.

Before the TS, she was called Gloomy Boy in the webtoon.

Na Yuna was inherently passive, so she postponed choosing a club until the very end and ended up joining the counseling club, which had a remaining spot.

The reason Jin Heeyoung’s gang accepted Na Yuna was simple.

The more members they had, the more money they received in support.

Besides, Na Yuna was easy to handle, so she was the perfect talent for Jin Heeyoung.

Jin Heeyoung quickened her pace and approached us.

Na Yuna awkwardly followed behind her.

“Hello. Kim Noeul, and Kim Maru.”

“What’s the matter, senior?”

I asked Jin Heeyoung nonchalantly, and a cross-shaped wrinkle appeared on her forehead.

“Well, someone apparently made a mess of our club members. I was so pissed I almost went wild, but I didn’t think it was necessary to go all out against juniors, you know?”

“You can go wild if you want.”

I decided to take on a taunting concept.

Kim Noeul sighed with a look that said, “Here we go again,” and Na Yuna stared at me as if I was crazy for openly defying Jin Heeyoung.

Actually, even if I act this recklessly, there’s nothing Jin Heeyoung can do at this moment.

They were the ones who provoked us first, and they can’t overpower us.

Jin Heeyoung just came to us to vent her meaningless anger.

“Ha, haha… Are all 2nd graders like this these days? Taunting even in front of seniors?”

“If you have nothing else to say, we’ll be going.”

Kim Noeul passed her as if she didn’t want to talk any further.

As I also passed Jin Heeyoung, Jin Heeyoung muttered quietly.

“You guys are really asking for it. Rin is very interested in my situation.”

“Je Galwhalin?”

I said her full name without hesitation, and Jin Heeyoung’s brow furrowed.

“You know her well. Get on your knees now. I don’t go easy on guys.”

“Jin Heeyoung.”

Kim Noeul called Jin Heeyoung’s name.

Jin Heeyoung’s face turned red, flabbergasted that a junior called her name.

“What? Did you just call me?”

“The honorifics I used earlier were the last courtesy I’ll show you as a senior. I have no intention of being polite any further.”

Kim Noeul glared at Jin Heeyoung, her eyes sharp.

“I won’t say much. Submit the club closure application to the staff room yourself.”

“…I can’t believe this. Do I have to do as you say?”

Na Yuna’s face turned pale at their standoff.

To her, a herbivore, Kim Noeul and Jin Heeyoung were top predators she couldn’t even dare to look at.

“Kim Noeul, let’s go. She can’t do anything anyway.”

At my urging, Kim Noeul relaxed her expression and passed Jin Heeyoung.

As I passed by, I secretly slipped a note into Na Yuna’s uniform pocket.

Na Yuna noticed it and stared at my face blankly.

Na Yuna couldn’t focus on the class content.

Because it was the first time in her life that she had received a note with a phone number from a guy.

All sorts of delusions were already running wild in her head.

‘Why did he give me the note?’

She tried to rack her brain, but she could only conclude that this note was related to love.

Because her world was based on animation, manga, and 2D culture.

In that kind of creative work, there was no other reason for a boy to secretly give a note.

‘Ah, of course, from a Hitomi perspective, it’s right to give it in a s*xual sense.’

Thinking about it, steam started to rise from Na Yuna’s head.

She vaguely remembered Kim Maru’s face.

It was hard to find someone that handsome even among celebrities.

He was like a 2D male character she had only seen in her dreams come to life.

It’s already famous in Haneul High School.

That a male transfer student came in with unprecedented good looks.

Countless female students showed interest, but Kim Maru himself only studied with a stiff expression, and spent the rest of his time sticking with Kim Noeul, so other girls didn’t have a chance to talk to him.

And such a top-tier S-class handsome guy in the province secretly gave her a note.

‘What could be the content… If it’s that kind of content…’

“Ugh, uhehe.”

Without realizing it, a creepy laugh leaked out.

The male student sitting next to her quietly moved his desk away.

Seeing that reaction, Na Yuna was hurt and buried her head in her desk.

‘Yeah, what am I thinking? It’s probably just for an official purpose.’

“Okay, review what we learned today. I’ve included the trigonometric function figure limit in the exam scope.”

After saying that, the math teacher left the classroom.

It’s lunchtime now.

Na Yuna took her pre-packed lunch and headed to a familiar place.

Leaving the main building, she entered the old school building, opened the door to a clean, empty bathroom stall, and locked it.

Then, she sat on the toilet seat cover, set up her lunch, and started eating.

The Vienna sausages and fried eggs made early in the morning at home were delicious.

As her self-catering life got longer, her cooking skills improved, so the taste was excellent.

Chewing like a hamster, she skillfully entered Hakdogal.

‘Today’s recommended posts are…’

[Hakdo Ranking Change]

[Eat lunch if this turns you on]

[Je Galyeonhwa, signs model contract with new uniform company]

[Two perfect scores on the mock exam at Shinseong High School]

‘Ranking change…?’

Realizing that there was a change in the existing knowledge she knew, she became interested.

When I opened the post, it listed the fighting rankings of Hakdo.

‘Wow, that Kim Noeul was this strong? Well, she didn’t back down at all to Jin Heeyoung.’

I took a spoonful of rice and looked at the comments.

Just looking at the nicknames, it was quite funny to see the losers fighting among themselves.

“Idiots.”

I chuckled and toured other posts.

But there was nothing special.

‘There’s no substance today.’

Just then, a text message came and vibrated.

Na Yuna, startled by the vibration, touched the text message and saw that the sender’s name was ‘Editor’.

[Editor: Yuna, I edited the video to the length you mentioned last time. What do you think?]

The thumbnail of the video sent by the editor showed a woman with a beautiful appearance and an explosive figure.

The thumbnail said, ‘Want to date a guy? I’ll tell you everything’.

[Yuna: I like it. You can upload it like this.]

[Editor: Yes.]

After finishing the text, Na Yuna stretched and stared blankly at the ceiling.

‘I thought at least one person might recognize me, but no one did. Is the gap that big?’

Well, even she wouldn’t believe it.

Just as she was about to turn off her phone and go back to the classroom, she remembered the contents of the note Kim Maru gave her.

‘That’s right. He asked me to contact him.’

Since it was the first time she was texting a guy, she thought hard about how to send it.

In the end, she sent it plainly.

[Me: Is this Kim Maru’s number?]

A reply came shortly after.

[Kim Maru: Who is this]

‘Gasp, he really answered!’

Her hands were trembling and she couldn’t concentrate.

To exchange messages during lunch break with the super-handsome guy who made Haneul High School buzz.

She felt somewhat lewd and rubbed her thighs.

[Me: It’s me, Na Yuna…]

[Kim Maru: Ah, you contacted me I’m Maru]

[Me: May I ask why you told me to contact you]

‘Was this too formal?’

He’s still a junior, but the way she’s talking, it looks like she’s groveling to a superior.

Kim Maru seemed to sense that too, and sent a text.

[Kim Maru: You can speak casually]

[Me: ok]

[Kim Maru: The reason I asked you to contact me is because of the counseling club]

‘Ah, as expected, as expected, as expected. Spring won’t come to me.’

Suddenly depressed, Na Yuna hugged her knees and continued texting.

Her overwhelming breasts, pressed by her knees, popped out and she placed her phone on them.

[Kim Maru: Don’t you want to join our counseling club?]

[Me: Your side?]

[Kim Maru: Yes. We’re exactly one person short, and I happened to notice you, senior]

Na Yuna’s breathing became rough.

She typed the text at the speed of light.

[Me: Why me?]

[Kim Maru: You’re in the counseling club. I thought you’d be helpful to us.]

‘Yeah… that would be the reason.’

[Me: But I think the president will object…]

Depressed again, Na Yuna sent a negative reply.

But Kim Maru sent a text right away as if he had expected it.

[Kim Maru: That’s the key If you see anything unusual about Jin Heeyoung in the club room, report it to me Then I’ll take care of Jin Heeyoung]

Na Yuna’s face turned pale after checking Kim Maru’s text.

Because he used the word “take care of”, she couldn’t predict what he would do.

[Me: Beat her half…?]

[Kim Maru: ?]

[Kim Maru: You’re more intense than I thought]

[Me: no…?]

[Kim Maru: I’m just saying we’re going to abolish the old counseling club? I felt bad for you, senior, since you’d have nowhere to go, so I invited you to join our new counseling club]

Now she understood.

He meant that he would make her a new member of the counseling club, so she should participate in the plan to abolish the existing counseling club.

‘There’s nothing bad about it.’

She was also sick of being Jin Heeyoung’s gang’s errand girl.

She wanted to take this opportunity to stick with the two insider men and women and escape from this gloomy outcast life.

‘Besides, if I’m in the club room, I can keep seeing Maru’s face…’

She sent a text with a creepy smile.

[Me: Leave it to me I’ll tell you everything, what she eats and when she goes to the bathroom]
After the text, Na Yuna trudged to the counseling club after school.

When she opened the counseling club door, only Jin Heeyoung was there.

“Fcking bstard… A guy who doesn’t know his place…”

Biting her nails and muttering curses, Jin Heeyoung frowned when she saw Na Yuna enter the club room.

“Ah, really! Open the door gently, you nerd!”

“Sorry…”

Na Yuna shrank her shoulders and quietly sat in a corner seat.

“That j*rk made me feel even worse.”

Muttering, Jin Heeyoung irritably took out her phone and called someone.

[Hello.]

“Rin? Are you free now?”

[Huh, why are you calling at this hour?]

Jin Heeyoung didn’t care about Na Yuna and talked openly so that their conversation could be heard.

‘Does she not think I’ll betray her?’

How pathetic must she have seen me to not even think that?

Na Yuna fell into self-loathing, but opened her ears wide to carry out the deal with Kim Maru.

“Our club members were beaten by the guys trying to create a new counseling club? If we can’t do our club activities properly, the money going to you will decrease, right?”

[Ah… So there are some who don’t know their place and are acting up.]

“It’s not all girls.”

[Huh?]

“One girl, and one guy. Those b*stards are determined to devour our club.”

[Then isn’t it practically one girl? What does she believe in to stand up to you? When I’m behind you?]

“I don’t know, it’s f*cking annoying. Anyway, I need to borrow some of your people rather than our useless club members. I’ll pay in advance.”

[It doesn’t matter, but…]

“What’s wrong?”

[Has the disciplinary department head been patrolling lately? Around Haneul High School rotary.]

“No. She’s not even in Hakdo because of family matters. She even submitted a long-term absence document.”

[Then work around the rotary? I’ll send the kids there. Discuss the details yourself.]

“I really have no one but you… But did you get permission from Yeonhwa for this?”

[Oh, c’mon, do I look like I don’t have that much authority?]

“I, It’s not that…”

[And you said one girl. Then I guess I can just send two or three. At that scale, my sister won’t find out.]

Jin Heeyoung was in deep thought.

The girls led by Je Galwhalin are ultimately students belonging to Ojakgyo.

And the area near Hankook High School is Je Galyeonhwa’s territory, so it’s right to see them as Je Galyeonhwa’s people.

‘I hope that b*tch Je Galyeonhwa won’t make a fuss again?’

She was worried because she heard that she wasn’t very close to her younger sister, Je Galwhalin.

But if she leaves Kim Noeul and Kim Maru, those ill-mannered juniors, alone, she won’t be able to sleep at night.

“Then I’ll ask you.”

[I’ll send some pretty tough ones, so beating up one girl will be a piece of cake.]

After the call, Jin Heeyoung grinned and stood up.

And as she left the club room, she glanced at Na Yuna.

“Hey, cow. Stay until the end of club activities, clean up, and go home.”

“…Okay.”

Thud.

As Jin Heeyoung closed the door and left, Na Yuna muttered quietly.

“D*mn, she’s the one who closes the door louder.”

Grumbling, she immediately took out her phone and told Kim Maru what she had heard.
