Eighteen's Bed

Chapter 14.3

How refreshing this is!

I walked down the quiet corridor, mentally ringing the bell I had already caused to sound. The expressions of the three bewildered people were nothing short of comedic. How could they be this funny?

These narrow-minded, foolish idiots probably imagined I would join in on their gossip behind my back, acting as a ridiculous extra like Park Dongcheol, letting out a fart and sneaking around. How foolish. There’s no way I would take that path. Let me repeat it once again: my pride will never die, not even if I die.

“Hah, serves them right.”

I silently thanked Shin Jaehyun. Although I couldn’t understand his values, it was he who had pointed out the option of throwing it all away first. Shin Jaehyun is strangely suspicious, but still, one thing is certain: he’s smarter and kinder than I expected. “No one chooses” was his philosophy.

I decided to interpret his words in my own way, in order to better understand him. The conclusion I arrived at was “throw it away before it’s thrown away.” It’s all the same. In order to choose someone, the idea of choosing no one turns out to ignore the desperate desire to be chosen.

Naturally, that old backstabbing comment from when I was eighteen comes to mind.

“The leech that sticks to the quiet one, never letting go.”

Ugh, disgusting.

“The homeroom teacher? Really?”

“Yes.”

The skeptical gaze swept over my body and was quickly withdrawn.

“Well, Jun wouldn’t lie about it. Go sit down.”

“Yes, I’m sorry for being late.”

I lowered my head slightly and raised it again. Naturally, my gaze turned toward Kyo-han, where he was sitting. It was instinctive. People naturally turn their eyes toward what they like. And only after meeting those gloomy eyes did I realize my own arrogance.

“Focus and choice. There are two types. You either dive into the subjects you’re good at, or you focus on fixing the ones you’re bad at.”

The words of the tutor quickly passed through my mind.

“But you, Jun, seem to cling to the idea of making yourself better at the things you’re bad at. It’s just a waste of time.”
