This Wednesday was the report card distribution day that everyone from first to third
grade at Jinsu Academy dreaded so much. Who likes receiving their test scores?
Convinced that she had already won, Eun-ji Jeong gathered her three classes before
morning assembly and announced our bet to everyone once again.
"Do you all remember what I said last time? That this guy and I had a grade
competition!"
"Hey, Eun-ji Jeong, are you really going to go through with this?"
"And what if you lose?"
The classmates, eager for a spectacle, challenged Eun-ji Jeong, who proudly declared.
It seemed there was no one who could treat me that friendly. In response to the
questions, Jeong Eun-ji made a triumphant expression and puffed out her chest.
"Am I going to lose? No matter how bad I am at studying, I'm not going to lose to Han
Seong-jin! So, everyone, get ready to film a video! I'm sure there are a lot of kids who
have been bullied by this guy before, so let's all film a video together and give him a
real slap in the face!"
"Hey, Jeong Eun-ji. But are you really prepared? If you lose, they won't consider you a
woman, and I'll strip you naked too."
Jeong Eun-ji flinched for a moment at my words, but she soon snorted. "Whatever!
There's no way you'll win!"
Scenes of the two of us talking about the terrible punishments we would inflict if we
lost began to be recorded on countless cell phones.
"Hide the tag well! We'll gather everyone at the playground during lunch and reveal it
at the same time! You won't be able to back out then, right?"
"It looks like you're digging your own grave. Wouldn't it be better to back out now? Are
you confident about getting naked in front of that many kids?"
"Ha, who's worried about whom? I guess you'd better just tremble and wait until
lunchtime?"
With those words, Jeong Eun-ji returned to her seat as if she had already won. The
news of my and Jeong Eun-ji's betting penalty spread throughout the third grade,
starting with our class, and also among the first and second-graders in the academy.
By the end of third period, the rumor had already spread throughout Jinsoo School.
Yu-ri Lee was worried about me and came to my seat during the break after second
period.
"Seong-jin, the penalty for that bet... Are you really going to go through with that? Even
so, it's a bit much..."
"Since Jeong Eun-ji is the one asking for it, wouldn't it be better to ask her?"
"I talked to Eun-ji after first period... But she didn't listen."
"Then what should I do?"
"Really...? There's already a rumor going around the academy. A lot of kids will come
to the playground during lunchtime. They say the loser has to get naked and bow down
there, but no matter who loses..."
"But it's a little strange listening to you, wife."
As I said that, I grabbed Yuri's waist and made her sit on my lap. Yu-ri Lee could not
resist the sudden physical contact and ended up sitting on my thigh.
"W-Who is your wife? You call me that all the time, and the kids misunderstand..."
"She's my girl. She's my girlfriend or my wife or whatever."
"Ugh... Ah, anyway! Are you really confident that you'll win and are doing this? No, I'm
not siding with either you or Eun-ji, but no matter who wins..."
"Well, we'll see."
And when the third period ended, Choi Su-yeon heard the rumor and came running.
"Senior! Did you really decide to reveal the results during lunch? But is the loser going
to bow naked? Really? In front of all those people?"
"Jung Eun-ji opened the board so wide that now neither I nor she can take it back.
What can we do? Now we have to humiliate each other."
"I heard there's a fuss about the kids going to watch during the lunch break later... But
if you lose, are you really going to do as Eun-ji tells you?"
"If I lose, that's the way it should be. I won't say it twice. But why do you talk like I'm
going to lose?"
Neither Yu-ri Lee nor Choi Su-yeon thought that I would win. Well, I've lived such a
luxurious life so far, so it's only natural.
"Uh... No matter how bad Eun-ji studies, if you look at her grades..."
Sooyeon Choi threw her opinion out with a calm expression. But she soon ran towards
me with her arms around me and smiled at me.
"But don't worry! Even if you are embarrassed, I won't leave you!"
"Should I be disappointed because I know for sure that I will lose, or should I be
grateful that you will still be by my side?"
"In times like this, actions speak louder than words. Here, here."
Sooyeon Choi tapped her lips with her index finger as she closed her eyes, and I
responded to her request by hugging her back and kissing her.
"Chuhup... Ha...♥"
Even though she had been kissed so many times, Sooyeon Choi still made a sweet,
melting moan every time she was kissed. It looked quite satisfactory.
The Duel on the Playground
And finally, the long-awaited lunchtime.
Perhaps because the rumor had already spread, when Yu-ri Lee, Soo-yeon Choi, Eun-ji
Jeong, and I ate at the same table, third-grade kids were all around us. Even though
they had finished eating, they were waiting like hyenas to see when we would finish
lunch. Perhaps because of the spark that flew between me and Jeong Eun-ji, Yu-ri Lee
and Choi Soo-yeon spoke significantly less throughout the meal. Of course, Jeong
Eun-ji and I were silent the whole time.
And as soon as everyone finished eating, Jeong Eun-ji stood up.
"Are you done eating? Then get up. Throw away the tray and come out to the
playground."
Jeong Eun-ji, who spoke like a gangster about to start a fight, nodded and called me
out.
"Oh~ Are we finally going?"
"Are you going to strip Jeong Eun-ji naked?"
A few boys caught wind of Eun-ji Jeong by whistling at her, and Eun-ji responded by
raising her middle finger at them. After throwing away our trays, Yu-ri Lee, Choi Su-
yeon, Eun-ji Jeong, and I all moved toward the playground, and countless people, both
men and women, followed behind us.
As we went down one floor from the third-grade cafeteria, people joined the
procession one after another, and before we knew it, we had become the Pied Piper.
This test score bet was quite a hot topic even within Jinsu Academy. One of the parties
was me, Han Seong-jin, the biggest jerk and the worst bully in Jinsoo Church, and
especially because of the unprecedented punishment. Those who have a grudge
against me prayed that I would suffer such a disgrace that I couldn't even hold my
head up. Some boys wanted to see Jeong Eun-ji naked. And most of the kids who
didn't care just saw it as entertainment.
Dozens quickly became hundreds, and by the time Jeong Eun-ji and I stood on the
playground, the number of people well over a hundred had spread across the area.
The kids who weren't on the playground were sticking their faces out of the classroom
windows and holding up their cell phones to take pictures, and the kids gathered on
the playground were also taking videos with their cell phones. There were no boys
playing soccer or girls resting on the bench; just Jeong Eun-ji and me in the middle of
the field.
In an atmosphere reminiscent of a Western duel, Choi Soo-yeon was crouching in the
front row of onlookers, taking pictures and laughing just like them.
"Good luck, Seong-jin! Uh... the results have already been decided, so don't you just
say good luck? Anyway, cheer up!"
And in the center of the playground, to check the scores for Jeong Eun-ji and me...
"No, why would I participate in such foolish behavior..."
There was also Yu-ri Lee. Jeong Eun-ji's friend, my girlfriend, and the top student in the
entire school, who naturally got a perfect score on the written exam this April. Since
her status within the academy was quite high, she was stopped by Jeong Eun-ji, who
asked her to check her score, and stood in the middle of the crowd.
"Hey, can't you both just pretend this never happened and go back? Look at the
people here now. And in the windows of the classrooms over there. Can you see all
the kids? How many of them are there in total? What are you guys really going to do?"
"No, you can never leave!"
"Me too. I can't ask you to now that I've come this far, so just close your eyes and
shout out your score once."
In response to our two answers, Yuri closed her eyes tightly and sighed. Jeong Eun-ji
was like that, of course, but I also had no intention of backing down.
Why did I keep provoking Jeong Eun-ji even before the exam and made her run wild all
the way to this point? Jeong Eun-ji's hatred for me is so great that she is a woman who
cannot be approached in the same way as Yu-ri Lee or Choi Soo-yeon. Her original
counterpart, Han Seong-jin, just r*ped Jeong Eun-ji and forcibly corrupted her by
blackmailing her with photos and videos he took of her, but since I am not that kind of
criminal, I used a different method. I gently scratched her proud ego with things like
test scores and induced her to show off her ridiculous temperament. I pretended not
to be able to win and just went along with it, making her ego grow more and more.
Jeong Eun-ji, who was completely unaware of this and was caught in the act,
escalated her situation to a level that even she could not handle with her sole
intention of annihilating me socially.
"Jeong Eun-ji... 68 points in Korean, 41 points in math, English—"
Yuri Lee covered her face with one hand, feeling embarrassed, and called out her
score while checking Eun-ji Jeong's report card.
"Average of 63 points in all. And Han Seong-jin..."
I handed my report card to Yuri.
"Han Seong-jin... 64 points in Korean, 52 points in math, English—"
In a situation where her stake has grown beyond her control, I beat Jeong Eun-ji in her
bet and sent her into her own abyss. And at that time, as if I were being generous, I
would extend a hand of salvation, creating a gap in her heart. Attacking her begins
from then. Of course, even after the strategy begins, considering her personality, I will
have to treat her a bit harshly, unlike Yu-ri Lee and Choi Soo-yeon.
Anyway, it's a really perfect and easy plan.
"All in all, an average of 65 points."
... Really, it was so easy.
