chaos in school

Jae-hyun, a young Korean boy, holds the position of president in his school's student council. The classroom bell echoed, signaling the end of the morning assembly. As students began to leave, Jae-hyun noticed the arrival of his best friend, Yong-Soon, accompanied by his girlfriend.

"You're late again," remarked Jae-hyun, his tone carrying a mix of accusation and mild concern, his expression stoic.

"Sorry, I overslept today. Stay calm. There's no need to be angry," Yong-Soon replied, attempting to ease the tension, while Hee-jin shook her head apologetically.

Despite Jae-hyun's position as head of the student body prompting a warning, his focus remained more on maintaining discipline than on their individual concerns. "Punctuality is important. Detention after school for both of you."

"I have a game after school," protested Yong-Soon.

"And I need to get my hair done at the salon," added Hee-jin.

However, their complaints fell on deaf ears as Jae-hyun remained firm in his decision, prioritizing discipline over their personal interests. His academic success drove him through a tragic past - the loss of his mother and the absence of his father, who had been executed.

During the lunch break, Jae-hyun sought out Mr. Park, the physical education teacher, to discuss the school's upcoming sports day. As they conversed, Mr. Park proposed enhancing the event by including a swimming competition following the football match and arranging a student buffet.

As their discussion concluded and the lunch break drew to a close, chaos struck. The history teacher, attempting to open the door, found it mysteriously locked. Suddenly, an enigmatic system materialized, projecting a foreboding red screen displaying the cryptic message "1/20", indicating that only one person could exit, while the others would face dire consequences.

Panic seized the teachers, fear sweeping through the room. Without warning, Ms. Kim, the art teacher, exhibited erratic behavior, targeting the history teacher in a frenzied outburst. Efforts to calm her proved futile; it became apparent she had a deeply troubling disposition.

Attempting to restore order, Mr. Park intervened, reassuring everyone, "Stay calm. We'll find a solution." However, as time elapsed, hope dwindled, replaced by desperation. The once united educators turned against each other.

In a shocking turn, even Mr. Park, typically a voice of reason, turned hostile towards Jae-hyun. "You're the weakest link here," Mr. Park snarled, eyeing Jae-hyun with disdain. "Easy prey. I'll finish you in a second."

Reacting swiftly, Jae-hyun seized a scalpel from the nearby table, using it to defend himself. Amidst the chaos that ensued, Mr. Park met his fate at Jae-hyun's hands.

In the midst of the ensuing bloodshed and chaos, with the office transformed into a scene of utter destruction, only Jae-hyun and Ms. Kim remained. "You deserve to live more than me," Ms. Kim whispered before taking her own life, leaving Jae-hyun as the sole survivor.
