Bae Kyubok looked into the mirror. There were scars all over his face and they were still bleeding.
"Fuck."
Bae Kyubok punched the glass and and shattered it. His fist was bleeding now too.
His eyes were filled with darkness . The bathroom light was flickering and the disgusting smell covered
the wh"How am I going to explain this to Ryong Narae?"
Bae Kyubok pulled out a bandage wrap from his pockets and started covering his face.
His school uniform was dirty too, but he couldn't care less. After washing his face, he stared into the
broken mirror.
"Just one more year, Bae Kyubok, just one more year."
He put on a faint smile and left the bathroom.
*
Bus was full of chaos. Students were screaming and laughing, while professors were sipping on cold tea
and chatting. Bae Kyubok was in the the middle sit next to Jwa Hei-ran, one of cheerleaders.
His laid his head on the glass window, closed his eyes and fell asleep only to be woken up after getting hit
in head with a soda can.
He hated them. He hated all of them. He just had to spend five nights with those imbeciles and he
would have an entire week free.
"Class, please quiet down!"
The head teacher Ryeo Hwa-Young screamed.
"We are passing the border so take out your passports."
Bae Kyubok reached for his bag and pulled out his passport. It was covered in yellow-ish substance. The
kids started laughing and Bae Kyubok looked out of the window.
'I will kill them. I will kill them all' he thought.
*
"Okay, everyone, here are your room keys! Our rooms are on the fifth floor!"
Head teacher handed out the keys of the room to students. Bae Kyubok looked at his key.
'505, same room as Lee Dan' Bae Kyubok said to himself. Lee Dan was a menace in his high. The amount
of bruises Lee Dan put on Bae Kyubok's face was higher than heaven. Bae Kyubok despised Lee Dan. He
dreamt of day Lee Dan died.
Elevator wasn't working so Bae Kyubok had to climb fifty stairs to get to his apartment.
In front of his doors stood Lee Dan. He was six feet tall and his muscles could be compared to Arnold
Schwarzenegger. His black hair was greasy and he had a menacing grin.
"Yo, Kyubok, here is my luggage. Me and others are going to check out the pool. I want my evening
clothes to be prepared and make sure my bed is the cleanest."
Lee Dan laughed and smacked Bae Kyubok on his back.
Bae Kyubok had to remain expressionless. If he showed a bit of emotion, he would be killed by Lee Dan.
"Now hurry up. I hate seeing your face."
Bae Kyubok unlocked the door. The room was small. There were three beds, two on right and one on left.
Small desk and a chair was in the left corner. There was a door in the right corner that led to a dirty
bathroom with no windows.
'Fuck this trip' Bae Kyubok said to himself.
*
The food wasn't the greatest. Mashed potatoes were dry and the chicken was only half-cooked.
The restaurant was between the lobby and first floor. It was a large square with tables and a food table
right next to the entrance.
'Tonight is the party…'
Bae Kyubok didn't like parties, and has never been to one. He spent his whole life isolated from the rest.
Bae Kyubok suddenly fell off the bed.
"Hey, bastard, go get me a towel."
• It was Lee Dan l. Is
"Fine…"
Bae Kyubok stood up only for someone to grab his neck.
"You dare speak like that?"
It was Kim Wan, Lee Dan's companion. He lifted Bae Kyubok in the air and threw him on the hard floor.
"Now go hurry."
After getting towels, Lee Dan and Kim Wan left the room.
Bae Kyubok dropped on the floor. He wanted to cry. He hasn't cried for hours, days, weeks, months,
years, but he couldn't. No matter what, he wasn't able to.
Suddenly, his eye caught something under the bed.
It was a wooden box. He grabbed it and pulled it out.
,J.H.' was written on it. It couldn't have been Lee Dan's or Kim Wan's. He opened the box, and there it
was
A pistol.
*
The night party began. There was music, dance floor and drinks.
Bae Kyubok sat alone at the farthest table from the dance floor. He didn't want to socialize with anyone.
He drank some soda and looked around. Girls were in dresses. Some guys sat at a large table and
laughed while others were flirting with girls.
He suddenly got lunched in the shoulder.
"Hey pussy."
It was Lee Dan. Other guys were with him too.
"We need you to do something."
Lee Dan sat next to Bae Kyubok.
"All drinks here suck. We bought beer earlier. Go get it."
Bae Kyubok was shocked.
"What? But teachers don't allow us to go to rooms and if they see beer they will-"
Lee Dan slammed his fist on the table.
"Do you think I give a fuck? Go get it or I will break your bones."
Bae Kyubok gulped.
"O-Okay…."
He didn't want to do it but he had no other choice.
He made his way to the room while teachers weren't looking and grabbed the beer. Suddenly, he noticed
the box with pistol. He didn't know what to do with it earlier so he covered it with a small blanket. He
surely wasn't going to tell Kee Dan about the pistol.
He sat on the table and started thinking. Now that he had a pistol, could he finally end all of this?
*
"Where is that son of a bitch!?"
Lee Dan screamed and got up.
"I am going to kill that bastard."
*
Bae Kyubok suddenly got up. How ling was he in the dreaming state? Be grabbed the beer and locked
the doors.
"Where were you!?"
He turned around and in front of him was Lee Dan.
"You bitch."
The next moment, Bae Kyubok was on floor and bleeding from his nose.
"You deserve it."
Lee Dan kicked Bae Kyubok in his chest and started punching him.
"YOU LIKE IT!?"
Lee Dan was screaming from joy. Bae Kyubok was covered in blood. What did he do to get beaten up like
this? He didn't deserve any of this. He wanted to cry. Cry all day.
Lee Dan threw Bae Kyubok on floor and laughed like a maniac.
Bae Kyubok got up and ran to the door. He unlocked it and tried to close the door, but by the time he
grabbed the handle, Lee Dan arleady stopped them from closing.
"What do you think you are doing, rat?"
Lee Dan slammed the doors behind him.
"This is your funeral boy."
Bae Kyubok crawled in order to escape from Lee Dan, but there was no point. Lee Dan grabbed Bae
Kyubok and smashed him into the wall. Bae Kyubok's blood turned the floor crimson.
He wanted to cry. Suddenly, he looked at the small blanket under the bed. The pistol…
He grabbed the box while Lee Dan wasn't looking and opened it. He picked up the the pistol and pointed
it at Lee Dan's head.
"Huh? Where the fuck did you get the pistol!?"
Bae Kyubok was hardly breathing. His eyes were deeper than Abyss.
He didn't want to cry anymore. He wanted to kill. He wanted to make others bleed. He didn't care
anymore. Only thing he wanted was to shoot.
[THE GAME IS ABOUT TO START! PREPARE!]
,What in the?'
Bae Kyubok looked at the screen that appeared in front of him. A game?
"Biitch, give me that pistol!"
Lee Dan started approaching Bae Kyubok. Bae Kyubok looked up and starred at Lee Dan for a few
seconds.
[The game has begun!]
Bae Kyubok placed his finger on the trigger.
