Chapter 44: Eun Yuri’s Call

The main gate of Juhwang High School was deserted because it was a holiday.

The main gate was open for students who wanted to participate in self-study, so entry was possible even on holidays.

Originally, there should have been few people on holidays, but currently, people were gathered at the main gate of Juhwang High School.

It was one woman and two men, and the three of them were close to each other, as if they knew each other.

It was difficult to distinguish the woman’s face because she was wearing a baseball cap pulled low and a black mask.

Due to her black oversized short-sleeved shirt, the bottoms she was wearing were not visible.

While the woman was diligently looking at her phone, the man who was with her spoke to her.

“Jihye, haven’t we been here for quite a while?”

“…….”

“…You don’t want to answer. I understand.”

Moon Hyungmin, one of Lee Jihye’s close aides, scratched the back of his head and clicked his tongue. He knew Lee Jihye’s temper well, so he gave up on the conversation early.

Then, he changed the target of the conversation. The target was Joo Wonyoung, who had requested Moon Hyungmin to mediate with the TT Academy teacher.

“Hey, Joo Wonyoung. Did you print out the data Jihye told you to bring?”

“Y, yes. Here….”

Having been miserably defeated by Kim Maru and his group before and having experienced social death, he handed the data to Moon Hyungmin in a very intimidated state.

The data contained a report on suppressing anti-Ojakgyo protests and scholarships and educational content received from the academy.

“Wow, the scholarship has been cut in half. Isn’t Eun Yuri going to raise hell today?”

“Eek…!”

Joo Wonyoung, frightened by Moon Hyungmin’s teasing, lowered his head. Lee Jihye, who had been looking at her phone next to him, suddenly raised her head.

Joo Wonyoung flinched and took a step back, thinking that Lee Jihye would beat him like a dog on Dog Days again.

However, Lee Jihye didn’t even look at Joo Wonyoung.

“What’s wrong?”

Even when Moon Hyungmin asked, Lee Jihye didn’t answer and looked across the street.

Across the street, two women were seen approaching, stretching their slender legs. One had long hair and the other had short hair. Their appearances were very similar, so they looked like identical twins.

The woman with long hair wore a thin long-sleeved white shirt and skinny jeans despite it being summer. The woman with short hair wore a sleeveless tank top and dolphin shorts.

Moon Hyungmin, realizing that they were the Je Gal twins, sighed involuntarily.

‘If they meet Jihye again, they’ll be growling at each other. Why did Eun Yuri tell us to wait in front of the main gate….’

Je Galyeonhwa crossed the crosswalk and gave Moon Hyungmin and Joo Wonyoung a sweet smile as she greeted them affectionately.

“Hyungmin, Wonyoung. Long time no see~.”

“…Hello.”

Moon Hyungmin muttered quietly, as if he didn’t like it.

“N, nice to meet you!”

Joo Wonyoung was very nervous and stuttered.

As Moon Hyungmin had expected, Je Galyeonhwa found Lee Jihye and immediately approached her.

Je Galyeonhwa, who was over 170cm tall, was wearing heels, so she looked down at Lee Jihye. Lee Jihye stared up at Je Galyeonhwa without blinking.

“Our cute Jihye~. You must have suffered a lot from getting sh*t on in the academy district~.”

As Je Galyeonhwa raised the corners of her mouth and prolonged her words, Lee Jihye’s brows narrowed.

“How fortunate. Are you in a position to tease me now? I heard you gave the rotary near the academy district to Haneul High.”

“Tease you? I’m just genuinely worried about Jihye, aren’t I?”

“Bullsh*t. Stop provoking me. I’m not going easy on you just because there’s a meeting later.”

“That’s scary…. Educating disobedient dogs is my specialty.”

An uncomfortable atmosphere flowed between Lee Jihye and Je Galyeonhwa.

Even in Hakdo, where prominent figures gathered, the two in front of him were women who were capable of dominating Hakdo with force. As a man, he should just shut his mouth and stay still at times like this.

Moon Hyungmin turned his gaze to Je Galhwarin. Her revealing outfit exposed her skin.

There were blue bruises all over her skin.

Moon Hyungmin swallowed his breath at the miserable sight and cautiously approached Hwarin.

“Hey, Rin. What’s with your appearance?”

The two of them quickly became friends because they had a sense of solidarity as they were in the position of supporting executives with difficult personalities.

“…Don’t look.”

Je Galhwarin covered some of the bruises with her hand and bit her lip.

“Did Kim Noeul do this? Does that crazy b*tch have no fear?”

“No…. Most of them are from my sister….”

“Ah.”

Moon Hyungmin sweated as he looked at the back of Je Galyeonhwa, who was still having a war of nerves with Lee Jihye in the back.

‘I heard that Rin has been on a decline because she has failed in her operations recently, so did Je Galyeonhwa finally hit her?’

“Then at least cover it with clothes, how can you walk around on the street with it exposed like this?”

“My sister chose my outfit today. She told me to wear this and follow her.”

“…….”

Moon Hyungmin, speechless at Je Galhwarin’s answer, patted her shoulder. Je Galhwarin didn’t react much.

“Huh? Hyungmin. What are you talking about so intimately with Rin?”

“Ah, it’s nothing. I was just briefly talking about the meeting today….”

While the two were talking, Je Galyeonhwa suddenly called Moon Hyungmin. Moon Hyungmin distanced himself from Je Galhwarin.

“Why? Are you worried about Rin’s body?”

“Th….”

While Moon Hyungmin was trailing off, Je Galyeonhwa approached her sister and gently stroked the bruises on her shoulder.

As soon as her sister’s touch reached her, Je Galhwarin trembled as if she had been conditioned.

“We were just having a heart-to-heart conversation between sisters. Nothing rough happened like you’re thinking. Right, Rin?”

“…….”

“Rin.”

“Y, yes. Nothing happened.”

When Je Galyeonhwa demanded an answer in a monotone voice, Je Galhwarin hurriedly nodded.

Lee Jihye, who had been watching the farce with a cold look, pretended to vomit.

“Ugh, you fcking btch, messing around with the same woman. I told you to fix that disgusting personality.”

“I wish you wouldn’t interfere in our family affairs?”

“It’s just disgusting. Both you, who satisfies your desires on your sister, and that b*tch who can’t even resist and just cries.”

“Our Jihye-dog is also one of my education targets.”

“Ah, this crazy b*tch is for real.”

Lee Jihye couldn’t stand it and grabbed Je Galyeonhwa by the collar. Je Galyeonhwa smiled even while being grabbed by the collar.

“Why? Are you going to throw the first punch?”

“…Cut it out.”

“What to do. Unlike you, I can distinguish between right and wrong, so I have no intention of fighting with you because of the meeting later. I’ll never hit you.”

They had been having a staring contest for a long time, but the staring contest was interrupted by someone’s intervention.

“Hey, don’t cause a disturbance in front of the school.”

The five students turned their heads towards the voice. There, a woman with a neat impression, with braided hair hanging over one shoulder, was standing.

She was wearing a school uniform even though it was a holiday.

“Yuri, why did you gather us at the main gate? Thanks to you, the little dog is very angry.”

“Ugh. Still can’t come to your senses…!”

Lee Jihye was furious at Je Galyeonhwa’s sarcasm, but when Eun Yuri gave her a look, Lee Jihye gritted her teeth and released the collar she had been holding.

“That’s why I didn’t gather you inside the school. If you guys caused an accident inside, my position in the school would be jeopardized.”

Eun Yuri said that and turned her body.

“Follow me.”

The five students followed Eun Yuri to the student council room. Eun Yuri sat in the president’s seat, and the other five sat on the sofa.

“So? Why did you call us?”

Lee Jihye asked, crossing her arms and complaining. Eun Yuri opened her mouth while reading the received data.

“Alice is coming back soon.”

At those words, the students closed their mouths without exception.

“Even if you participate in the end-of-semester meeting in this state, there will be no progress and you’ll just be reciting the disciplinary procedures, so I called you to clean up before the meeting.”

Eun Yuri took out two files from the drawer. Each file had a sticky note attached.

One was a paper that said Dowon High School, and the other was a paper that said Hankook High School.

“Take them and look through them.”

Joo Wonyoung and Je Galyeonhwa each received a file and returned to the sofa.

“First of all, the top priority I’ve set is TT Academy. Soon, the Ojakgyo’s third-year students, including me and Alice, have to prepare for college. The college entrance results must be good for next year’s activities to be smooth, and to get good college entrance results, the rights of TT Academy are essential.”

Eun Yuri, who was speaking, pointed her hand to her forehead.

“But as you know, in this semester, Ojakgyo’s power in TT Academy has weakened a lot. It doesn’t matter whose fault it is, it’s time to strike back.”

“What are you going to do?”

When Je Galyeonhwa asked, looking through the file with her legs crossed, Eun Yuri said calmly.

“I’m going to register for TT Academy.”

“What…?”

“…Is that the only way after all.”

Lee Jihye was surprised, and Je Galyeonhwa muttered as if she had expected it.

“If you’ve been pushed back by grades and lost your rights, you can just take them back with grades. The summer school, which is the vacation semester, is about to start, so all I have to do is take the top spot in the entrance exam for that program.”

It was Eun Yuri who said that she would take the top spot without any hesitation, but no one objected to her words.

If Eun Yuri declared that she would take the top spot, that declaration would become a reality. At least, that was common sense in Hakdo.

“But even if I regain control of the inside of the academy, I can’t cover the rotary nearby. Jihye and Yeonhwa, you have to get that rotary back.”

“The two executives at the same time….”

Moon Hyungmin, who muttered that, had his heart racing.

Since the founding of Ojakgyo, there has never been a case where two or more executives officially united to operate. This is the first case.

“The media club, Hakdo News… It has been revealed that Veritas, the powerhouse of that club, fully supports Haneul High School, and Yushin High School and the schools around it are helping Haneul High School’s move.”

Eun Yuri looked down at the map of Hakdo while explaining. It was no longer possible to check the power of Haneul High School with only one executive.

“Can you do it?”

At Eun Yuri’s words, Lee Jihye readily nodded.

“I’m fine with it. I can finally meet Doa unni.”

However, Je Galyeonhwa had a sulky expression.

“You look unhappy, Yeonhwa.”

“I’m working as a model. If I’m openly involved in a violent situation, my image will be damaged.”

“Hmm…. I understand your worries. But think about it.”

Eun Yuri’s soft eyes became sharp in an instant.

“Whose support do you think allowed you to reign as a model in Hakdo in the first place?”

“…….”

“Whose money, whose connections allowed you to reach your current position?”

Je Galyeonhwa slightly closed her eyes at Eun Yuri’s indirect threat.

For a moment, she was reminded of the old days.

When she was living a Hakdo life that was envied by others, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman suddenly came to her.

When that woman offered her the glory of becoming a Hakdo celebrity but suggested that she obey her instead, Je Galyeonhwa scoffed and refused.

The result afterwards was obvious. Now she was an executive of Ojakgyo.

“I understand. Since this is the situation, I can’t hold back anymore either.”

“You thought well.”

As Je Galyeonhwa agreed, Eun Yuri smiled.

“The sooner the execution date, the better. I’ll go through the academy registration process on my own, so you guys go to the rotary on the day of the summer school entrance exam and run wild.”

Eun Yuri finished speaking and gestured. It meant to leave.

The Ojakgyo students got up from their seats without complaint and prepared to leave.

“Do well.”

Eun Yuri’s calm voice echoed in the student council room.

“You know what will happen to you if Alice gets angry.”

“…….”

“…….”

Lee Jihye and Je Galyeonhwa didn’t deny those words and quietly left the student council room.

***

“Then I’ll talk to our student council.”

“Please do. Yushin High School has a large number of students, so it will be of great help in supplementing the number of people, which is Haneul High School’s weakness.”

“We came this far because we trust Haneul High School. We didn’t want to see Ojakgyo’s tyranny either.”

Kim Noeul was currently having an interview with a student council official from Yushin High School.

Due to the Jeong Soyeon incident and Seong Nari’s cooperation, the Yushin High School student council also had a friendly view of Haneul High School, and finally, they signed a cooperation agreement with us.

Now, there wouldn’t be a student in the entire Hakdo who didn’t know Kim Noeul’s name.

The forces who were dissatisfied with Ojakgyo began to gather under Kim Noeul’s name. I sighed in relief, thinking that I had finally passed the 80% mark.

‘How did I get this far?’

It was a fairly successful first semester. Showing overwhelming performance and building a school alliance.

Things went better than I expected. Now, I just need to strengthen the internal affairs during the vacation and face Ojakgyo in earnest in the second semester.

“Ugh…. It’s hard….”

Kim Noeul groaned, slumped over the table. She turned her face, which had been buried in the table, and looked up at me.

“…Did I say the right things?”

I nodded at Kim Noeul’s question.

“You did well.”

“Was I cool?”

“…Here we go again.”

I tapped Kim Noeul’s head with my palm because it was a familiar pattern.

“Good job. Now all that’s left is to become the president.”

“President…. Student council president….”

As if trying to enjoy the nuance, Kim Noeul repeated the word president. Then, she looked at me again.

“You’re the vice president, right?”

“What?”

“Weren’t you? If I’m the president, you’re the vice president.”

“I haven’t really thought about it.”

I had only focused on Kim Noeul being elected as the student council president, and I had never thought about other personnel matters.

“The president has the authority to make personnel decisions.”

“That’s right.”

I became uneasy at Kim Noeul’s words.

“Then I can make you the vice president.”

“…Do as you please.”

In fact, there was nothing bad for me either. If I assist Kim Noeul by her side, the results will be better.

“Then are we the only ones in the student council room?”

“What are you talking about again?”

“The president and the vice president. Just the two of us.”

“What about other executives? Aren’t you going to pick a secretary or treasurer?”

“Do we have to pick them? I saw in the school rules that concurrent positions are possible.”

Come to think of it, I remember seeing such a school rule. It was an impressive rule because it showed the autonomy of Hakdo well.

“No, even so, two is a bit….”

“Does the vice president not want to be alone with the president?”

Kim Noeul, who suddenly lowered her voice in a solemn posture, looked at me with a sly smile.

“The president’s orders are absolute, and starting in the second semester, Vice President Maru will obey my instructions.”

“You’re putting on airs.”

“What kind of language is that to the president!”

Kim Noeul suddenly got up and strode towards me. I remembered being attacked by the wolf named Kim Noeul in the classroom at the beginning of the semester, so I took a defensive stance.

However, my defense was broken helplessly by Kim Noeul.

Kim Noeul buried her face in my neck, but I had already experienced it before, so I wasn’t as embarrassed as before.

I could smell a faint shampoo scent from her hair.

“Won’t you get off?”

“Hoo…. The fatigue of the day is purified…. From now on, the vice president’s job will be to please the president….”

“Don’t tell me you won’t let me go again if I don’t acknowledge it this time?”

“You know the president’s thoughts well…. You’re the vice president after all….”

I sighed while supporting her, who was drooping against me in a slurred tone. Seeing this, she really seems like a big dog.

At that time, the door to the counseling department opened.

“Maru! The SC shooting during vacation is….”

Na Yuna, who came in with a bright smile, stared at Kim Noeul, who was buried in my arms, with dead eyes.

“Noeul, what are you doing there? Maru is uncomfortable, and if you act like that in a public space, the credibility of the counseling department will be severely damaged, so snap out of it!”

Despite Na Yuna’s eerie voice, which was like a machine gun without breathing, Kim Noeul hugged me even tighter as if to show off. Her bountiful breasts were crushed against my chest.

“Why is the door open….”

Soon, Han Doa also entered the counseling room and witnessed this scene.

Han Doa’s face gradually turned red and she pulled out her wooden sword.

“What a enviable…! Ah, no. What are you doing in this sacred place of learning! Get off him!”
