Chapter 47: Lee Jihye vs. Han Doah

While taking the exam, I tried my best not to be aware of the situation outside, even during the intermittent break times.

This was because I judged that if I were to come across negative information, such as the fight outside becoming disadvantageous, it could affect my exam results.

After finishing the Korean language exam, I went out to the hallway during the break. And I picked a can of drink from the vending machine and closed my eyes tightly.

‘I hope they’re doing well.’

I cheered for them in my heart as they were probably fighting hard and prepared for the next exam.

The streets were soon so entangled with students that it was difficult to walk.

The rough shouts and gruesome sounds of impact filled the rotary in the academy district.

Even in that living hell, Lee Jihye was licking a lollipop and looking around. Her gaze, searching for Han Doa, was very persistent.

“Hey, you’re in the way.”

Lee Jihye spoke to the female student who was blocking her view. The Yushin High School female student glared at Lee Jihye after seeing Lee Jihye behind her.

“Lee Jihye!”

The female student, who knew Lee Jihye’s face, threw a punch at Lee Jihye’s face without hesitation.

Thwack!

‘It landed properly.’

The female student, who had a satisfied smile, erased her smile after seeing Lee Jihye, who was smaller than her, still standing firmly.

“Are you done?”

Lee Jihye, who had a calm expression as if she couldn’t feel pain, rubbed her cheek and loosened her other hand.

“Yo, you crazy b*tch, where are you pretending to be strong!”

The female student punched again and Lee Jihye’s face turned again, but she still muttered without any signs of pain.

“You hit me first.”

After saying that, Lee Jihye threw the lollipop she was holding at the female student’s face.

“Euk!?”

In the gap where the female student closed her eyes, Lee Jihye grabbed the female student’s legs.

The female student, who had lost her balance, fell backwards and Lee Jihye wrapped her arms around her arms and began to twist her joints in a bizarre direction.

“Kyaaaaak!”

The female student screamed and struggled, but she couldn’t break free because the technique was properly applied.

“Get off her!”

A Haneul High School student who was nearby tried to help the female student by hitting Lee Jihye from the side, but Lee Jihye didn’t care and focused on twisting the joint.

“Stop it!”

“……”

“Sh*t! At least pretend it hurts!”

Lee Jihye’s attack continued even as the Haneul High School student screamed and hit her.

“Keueueue…”

Only after the female student fainted from the pain did Lee Jihye fall off her body.

Lee Jihye had been hit a lot during that time, but she smiled as she rotated her shoulders. Lee Jihye, who was smiling, opened her mouth.

“Don’t you know me?”

“Wh, what are you talking about.”

“How can I pretend it hurts. It doesn’t hurt.”

“What? You don’t tell me…!”

The Haneul High School student had to grit her teeth and close her eyes. This was because Lee Jihye’s fist had landed on her face.

This time, Lee Jihye clung to the Haneul High School student’s arm, which was lying on the ground, like a snake and tightened it.

The Haneul High School student thrashed and screamed like the Yushin High School female student before, then drooped down as if she had run out of energy.

The students who had been glancing at Lee Jihye’s fight from the surroundings couldn’t approach her.

Lee Jihye looked at the Dowon High School students who were nearby.

“Hey, you guys. I have someone to find, so clean up the b*tches who run at me.”

“Okay.”

“You mean catch those girls?”

The Dowon High School students continued to fight, circling around Lee Jihye as she ordered. Thanks to their help, Lee Jihye quickly achieved her goal.

“Ah…!”

Lee Jihye, who had put the person she wanted to see in her eyes, ran wildly through the street, laughing like crazy.

The students around her were tired of Lee Jihye’s crazy smile and cleared the way, so Lee Jihye could run without interference.

“Doa-sunbaeeeeee!”

Lee Jihye, who was shouting Han Doa’s name as she ran, punched Han Doa, who was knocking down Ojakgyo students with a wooden sword.

“Chief! It’s dangerous!”

Han Doa lowered her head at the disciplinary department member’s exclamation. Lee Jihye’s punch split the innocent air.

Lee Jihye rolled to the side to avoid Han Doa, who was trying to hit Lee Jihye’s stomach with her elbow.

“Sunbae! We finally meet!”

Unlike Lee Jihye, who was smiling brightly, Han Doa’s face darkened.

“I really wanted to see you. It’s almost the first time since I was kicked out of the kendo club, right?”

“…I don’t have any lingering feelings for you.”

Han Doa’s hand, holding the wooden sword, was trembling. Lee Jihye noticed that she was lying by looking at her trembling hand.

“No lingering feelings? The kids who followed sunbae, treating you like a big sister, will be disappointed, right?”

“Big sister…?”

“What’s the relationship between the two of them?”

The disciplinary department members’ expressions became strange when words that only gangsters would use came out. Han Doa gritted her teeth at Lee Jihye’s words and shouted.

“I’ve never! Embraced you guys! You guys moved on your own, and it’s something you guys brought on yourselves!”

“Superstars naturally have followers behind them. Even if big sister doesn’t want it, people like me will stick to sunbae.”

Lee Jihye blushed and held out her hand to Han Doa.

“Let’s go back to those days. To the strong, aloof big sister. Stop playing around with those disciplinary department kids, okay?”

“If you came here to spout that kind of nonsense….”

Han Doa dropped her wooden sword on the ground and took a striking stance.

“You better go back quietly.”

“You’re still the same. A belief that you don’t use weapons in a one-on-one…. I also made my own belief like big sister. Not to hit first unless I get hit first.”

“Don’t call me big sister!”

Han Doa, who was furious, ran at Lee Jihye and threw a punch. It was a clean jab despite being excited.

Lee Jihye obediently took that jab. While minimizing the impact by slightly turning her head.

“Now it’s starting.”

Lee Jihye grabbed Han Doa’s arm and tried to trip her. But Han Doa avoided it with a step and released Lee Jihye’s tie with her other hand.

Lee Jihye didn’t give up and aimed for Han Doa’s lower body while lowering her posture.

And this time as well, Han Doa quickly distanced herself and threw a punch.

Lee Jihye obediently put her face to that punch.

“What…!?”

Lee Jihye, who had been running at Han Doa with her face crushed, finally stuck to Han Doa’s body.

“Keuk! Get off me!”

“I don’t want to.”

Lee Jihye, who had a creepy smile, fell to the ground with Han Doa. The two of them twisted their bodies while arguing for a while.

One was moving her body meticulously to apply a joint lock, and the other was moving her body meticulously to not get caught.

“I’m sorry, big sister!”

Lee Jihye, who suddenly screamed, grabbed Han Doa’s ponytail. And she pulled her hair roughly.

“Keup…!”

Han Doa was trying to hold back her scream, but Lee Jihye grabbed her hair and slammed her head on the ground several times.

“Keok!”

Han Doa, whose vision flashed from hitting her head on the ground, blocked the space between the ground and her head with her other hand.

After that, she used the momentum of her waist to shake off Lee Jihye. Lee Jihye, who was small, was pushed away powerlessly.

Han Doa, who didn’t miss the gap, kicked Lee Jihye’s face. The neat kick that flew straight with a straightened path burst Lee Jihye’s lips.

“Heu, heuheuheu!”

Lee Jihye, who licked the blood dripping down her chin with her tongue and stood up again, smiled as if she wasn’t tired.

“Unni…. I’m not over yet…. It doesn’t hurt at all….”

“I told you not to call me unni!”

“I found out while fighting just now. Unni, you’ve become a lot more gentle, right? You’re going to subdue me in that state without using a wooden sword?”

“If I hold a wooden sword… it feels like I’ll really kill you.”

Despite Han Doa’s murderous words, Lee Jihye tilted her head and raised the corners of her mouth.

“So you don’t hate me enough to kill me?”

“I clearly warned you!”

Lee Jihye was hit in the stomach by the punch that Han Doa threw and was pushed back. But Lee Jihye, who didn’t even make a small groan, grabbed the wrist of Han Doa, who had thrown the punch.

“I caught you.”

Lee Jihye, who mumbled quietly, raised her head back and hit Han Doa’s forehead.

“Kyaeut!”

“Your moan is cute, right?”

Lee Jihye continued to punch Han Doa’s face without losing momentum. Han Doa was trying to distance herself, but it was impossible because Lee Jihye was holding her wrist.

Han Doa also changed her strategy. She thrust her knee into Lee Jihye’s stomach several times.

But Lee Jihye focused on hitting Han Doa’s face without any signs of pain.

“Haa! Haa!”

Lee Jihye, who was punching with rough breaths, stared at Han Doa’s face.

The face that looked like a young lady from a noble family was gone, and now her cheeks were swollen and she was dripping with a nosebleed.

Even in the midst of that, a knee kick with a still murderous power was being thrust into Lee Jihye’s stomach.

“I told you it doesn’t hurt…. Why are you being like this when you know me well….”

“Heoheok…. Heoheok….”

“Does my punch hurt? It probably hurts. But we, who were abandoned by unni, hurt more!”

Lee Jihye screamed and headbutted Han Doa’s face. Han Doa, perhaps because she had run out of energy, weakly slumped down on her butt.

Lee Jihye grabbed Han Doa’s ponytail and supported her so she couldn’t fall. It was a situation where it looked like Han Doa had been completely defeated.

The students who were fighting in the surroundings couldn’t take their eyes off Lee Jihye and Han Doa’s fight.

“What…. Did Han Doa lose…?”

“It’s hard to say that, but Lee Jihye’s appearance is also not good.”

“Ch, chief!”

A few disciplinary department members tried to intervene, but the Dowon High School students who had received Lee Jihye’s request stopped them.

Lee Jihye sat down, grabbing Han Doa’s hair, and made eye contact with her.

Han Doa’s eyes were swollen, so her pupils weren’t visible. Lee Jihye forced those eyes open and exchanged glances.

“Just because I can’t feel physical pain… doesn’t mean my soft heart isn’t in pain…. Unni also has to feel the pain I felt….”

“…Not even once.”

Han Doa, who was drooping down, squeezed out even the strength she had used to suckle and continued.

“Not even once, have I ever been your unni.”

“……”

“You and I are nothing.”

“You f*cking!”

Lee Jihye had a seizure and slapped Han Doa’s cheek. Han Doa punched Lee Jihye’s face with her trembling hand.

The two continued to fight, hitting each other one by one.

“We…! We only looked at unni’s back…! How can you… not know us…!”

“I’m saying again… you guys just followed me on your own… I have no relationship with you….”

“Don’t lie! Don’t lie!”

Both of them were tired and couldn’t have a proper conversation. As they steadily continued one word and one punch at a time, the surrounding students had a tired expression.

“To fight to that state….”

“…The one who gives up first will lose.”

Lee Jihye put down Han Doa, as if the strength in her arm holding Han Doa’s hair had run out. And she also slumped to the ground.

Han Doa was still glaring at Lee Jihye even though she had fallen to the ground, and Lee Jihye was also glaring at Han Doa while panting roughly.

“It’s not… too late….”

A hoarse voice flowed from Han Doa’s mouth.

“Even now… take your lingering feelings away from me… and stop your evil deeds…. Then… I’ll look at you differently….”

“Don’t… say nonsense…. I won’t… end it so lukewarmly….”

As soon as Lee Jihye finished speaking, a shout was heard from the other side.

“You…! You crossed the line…!”

Han Doa realized who the owner of that shout was.

‘Noeul-hoobae…?’
