Chapter 14
Translator: True Detective
Chapter 14: Fallen Chaebol 3rd Generation Baek Ha-rin (2)
Shocking true story, before the Seo family immoral incident happened.
I was attending a certain high school just fine.
Genius High School.
Contrary to its name, that school was a trash-tier high school among trash-tiers where only delinquents advanced.
I look a bit older than my age.
So since middle school, I lied about my age and devoted myself to part-time jobs.
Since there was no one earning money at home, I had to earn it at least.
Naturally, there was absolutely no time to study.
Because my grades were fucked, I also advanced to Genius High.
However, even among ants, there is a queen.
Among the seniors one year above us, they said there was a granddaughter of the Baekseong Group.
2nd Year Class 1, Baek Ha-rin.
Unusually, it was a school with only two floors, so it was the classroom right next to mine, 1st Year Class 6.
"Hey, did you see?"
"What."
"Baek Ha-rin Senior next door. She was really fucking pretty?"
"Not interested."
An old friend whose name I don't even remember now pestered me to go see her, but naturally, I ignored it.
Just worrying about my shitty family and doing part-time jobs is tiring enough.
The direction of other students' interests and my interests were significantly different.
My father throws a fit and acts crazy every day at home.
Just a few weeks ago my mom left home.
If my only sibling is diagnosed with depression, one tends not to care about women or whatever.
"Wow... fucking pretty, don't you agree?"
"...."
"Wow... Eh? Hey, let's go together!"
Since it was the class right next door, we bumped into each other often.
I passed by quietly.
Since there's no connection between that person and me anyway.
That happened a few times.
One day, there was a day that chaebol senior greeted me first.
"Hi?"
I heard later that other freshmen were busy gaping at her.
Since only I coolly ignored her and passed by, it seems it bothered her strangely.
"...Hello."
Seeing her up close, she was insanely pretty.
But since she was a person too far from me, it felt more like seeing a celebrity on TV.
A face that seems to have not a single worry.
Expensive padding jacket, expensive necklace, maybe the uniform was custom-made too, even the material was different from mine.
I thought inwardly.
This bitch won't have to worry about money for her entire life. Envious. I wish I was born in a good family like this woman too.
Inferiority complex bloomed fully, but naturally, I didn't show it.
Because showing an ugly appearance like my father was something I hated more than dying.
However, I'm not an actor, and I couldn't hide the aura radiating outward.
"You don't like me, right?"
"...Me?"
"You're the first person to make a face like chewing shit looking at me."
When I blanked out, the chaebol senior, Baek Ha-rin, suddenly smiled.
"Interesting."
And she lightly put her hand on my shoulder and recited.
"You be my toy from today."
"Yes?"
"I'll give you money."
I did it immediately.
They say she's a bully girl, but actually, it wasn't to that extent.
Doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't hang out with bad friends either.
Just showing off money, and strutting around asking if we know who her grandfather is.
She was a person born good-natured.
"Do-hyun-ah, can't you buy me a chocolate cornet from the snack bar?"
"Why should I."
Isn't it?
"Is this enough?"
50,000 won.
"I will be back!"
Right. This senior was a fucking angel.
As soon as I received the bill, I kicked off my seat and ran with fire on my feet.
2 minutes. In less than just 2 minutes, I served Ha-rin Senior a chocolate cornet and even a pack of milk to drink with it.
"Ahahahaha, super fast. You're kind of funny?"
"Just order me next time too."
"Then I'll give you 100,000 won so smack the back of the head of that kid sleeping over there."
In the place Ha-rin Senior pointed, there was our class's rank 1 sleeping soundly.
I heard he does Muay Thai.
"Ah that's a bit..."
"You won't do it?"
"...."
"Pfft look at you being nervous. It's a joke, a joke. If I get caught doing bully acts and appear on the news, I'll die by my grandfather."
Senior slapped my back pak pak as if excited.
"I'll give you 50,000 won more so go buy snacks or something."
"Thank you Senior!"
"Mm mm, good attitude."
Even after that day, Ha-rin Senior's errands continued.
-Clap clap
"I want pizza bread."
"I'll be back in 1 minute."
"I want to eat ice cream for dessert."
"Here it is."
"My mouth is bored..."
"Do-hyun's Ethnic Delivery~. The potato chips you ordered have arrived."
Money gets copied every time I go to the snack bar, so it's strange not to do it.
That's not all.
"Haam, boring. Mad Dog Do-hyun? Try to entertain me."
I even took on the role of Ha-rin Senior's exclusive clown.
"Yes, Senior. Knowing you would be like that, I practiced a talent show."
"What is it? Curious?"
"I will make an acrostic poem with Bae Jo-seok."
For reference, Bae Jo-seok was the name of Ha-rin Senior's homeroom teacher.
She once badmouthed him to me saying she didn't like him looking at her with perverted eyes.
"Give me the letters."
"Bae."
"Ungrateful bitch!"
"Jo."
"Fucking bitch!"
"Seok."
"Suck my dick!"
As I even showed a performance shaking my waist.
Ha-rin Senior looked at me with cold eyes.
"...You made that as an acrostic poem?"
"Isn't it funny?"
"...Yeah fucking funny. Ahahahahahahaha!"
Then suddenly changing attitude and bursting into laughter, the Senior.
Watching this person from the side continuously, I could know what she likes.
She likes seeing someone below her giving up human dignity and rolling around.
She was truly a figure like a symbol of a personality-twisted bully chaebol.
As she said, she really doesn't do that kind of shit because she'd get kicked out of the house if school violence controversy articles appeared.
"It was fun so I'll shoot 100,000 won as donation."
"Ang, feels good! Thank you for the 100,000 won donation Ha-rin Senior! Thank you, yummy!"
"Ahah, Ahahah! Bonus 50,000 won!"
"Wow! Perfect! Amazing~!"
Are all chaebols like that?
No, no matter how much I think, this senior is the weird one.
Well, since I can rest without doing at least one part-time job just by picking up crumbs from the side.
She was a benefactor I was thankful for more than anyone.
'Seriously should I graduate and do internet broadcasting?'
The money received from Ha-rin Senior exceeded 30 million won.
A large sum enough to make me start worrying if I should debut as a full-time streamer, drunk on my inner talent.
However, that happy worry didn't last long.
Because my father's head got cracked.
"...Senior."
"...."
"Why did you come all the way here."
Ha-rin Senior who came to find me preparing for trial.
She was looking at me with pitiful eyes.
And one word she spat out.
"...Are you okay?"
That one word, I hated it terribly.
I didn't want to hear such words from you only.
I didn't want to receive such a gaze from you only.
From you who were born in a rich family, loved by everyone, and lived a lifetime without any worries.
I didn't want to be pitied.
It was much more comfortable to be seen as a clown.
Because it was easy to respond if I just thought of it as a business relationship.
I provide her services called convenience and fun, and she gives money.
It would have been good if that was all to our relationship.
But the moment the real appearance of Seo Do-hyun, not clown Seo Do-hyun, was caught by the chaebol 3rd generation.
I felt suppressed emotions creeping up.
Just which parents we were born to, that was the only difference.
With one trivial difference, she sprinkles money looking at my vulgar appearance, and I act vulgar and receive money.
It was disgusting inferiority complex.
"...Please go."
"Do-hyun-ah, if you're okay, I..."
"Ah fuck."
The reason I spat out words I couldn't take back to the senior who came to worry about me is.
"I said fuck off."
"Uh, uh?"
I don't remember in detail what curses I said after that.
No, maybe I don't want to remember.
I only remembered the fact that I regretted it immensely after the senior left.
I was too harsh. Why on earth did I do that. If only I could go back to the past, I wouldn't have done that.
That day was our last connection.
I am a criminal, she is a chaebol 3rd generation with a bright future.
A connection that couldn't be intertwined from the start, and I thought I would never meet her again after that.
"Really how long has it been? Have you been well?"
"...."
How do we meet again here?
Don't tell me, I couldn't even imagine that the house I bought would be the house Ha-rin Senior originally lived in.
To think the connection would be reconnected like this.
Naturally a bewildered expression.
Perhaps not knowing my insides like that, Ha-rin Senior laughs with her characteristic Ah-hah sound.
"Ahahah, really fascinating. How do you move into our house?"
I barely moved my mouth that wasn't moving and answered.
"...Indeed. I couldn't even imagine this would be the house Senior lived in."
"How is our house? Good right? Shall I introduce it?"
"Ah, I looked around earlier. But now it's not Senior's house but my house."
But that is that and this is this.
"Could you please leave now."
"Huh?"
Watching Ha-rin Senior, uncomfortable emotions grew larger and larger.
The feeling of inferiority complex I had forgotten springing up little by little.
Even though I possessed infinite money through Probability Manipulation, I still felt uncomfortable with this person.
Furthermore, I even poured out harsh words at the end.
Yet I wasn't a good enough person to converse brazenly.
Rather, it's amazing that the Senior treats me smiling even though it ended like that.
Seeing my rotten expression, Ha-rin Senior's smile began to disappear slowly.
"...That expression."
"...."
"You were like that when you first saw me too."
Ha-rin Senior suddenly made a bitter expression.
"Are you still uncomfortable with me?"
I couldn't bear to answer.
"...Okay."
Senior passed me with regretful steps and headed to the front door.
Just as I thought the reunion after such a long time was ending.
-Ding dong
The delivery food I ordered earlier just arrived.
"Delivery."
"Uh."
Ha-rin Senior, who bumped into the delivery man in front of the door, inadvertently accepted the bag.
Sound heard at the same time.
-Growl
It was clearly a sound coming from Ha-rin Senior's stomach.
'...It is a bit much to eat alone though.'
I didn't know since I hadn't ordered delivery for a long time, but these days there is something called minimum order amount, so I couldn't even eat unless I ordered a lot.
"...Want to eat a meal before going?"
"Shall I?"
Truly, you can't know a person's future even if you know it.
