Chapter 2
How to Fix a Psychopath Episode 2
Eunwoo Lee, while smiling slightly, tilted his head and asked,
“Wouldn’t that be okay?”
That face definitely seemed like a fraud. Naturally, he was blaming Kim So-young. Anyway, it’s not like anything will change if I change this one thing. And I’ll say it again, Kim So-young is the best in this novel.
I copied Lee Eun-woo’s smile.
“Yeah, you and I are close anyway… … .”
“… …Soo young.”
“huh?”
“Eunwoo.”
What are you talking about?
I blinked and stopped laughing.
“You’re acting a little strange today.”
I flinched, my body trembled. Have I already been caught?
“You always called me by my name. Not ‘you.’ But ‘Eunwoo.’”
Ah…….
That was right. In the story, Kim So-young always called Lee Eun-woo as “Eun-woo.” Like a chick that had been separated from its mother. Every time that happened, Lee Eun-woo was described as feeling pleasured in the novel written from the perspective of an omniscient author.
“I’m sorry, Eunwoo. Um… … What should I change your name to?”
I quickly apologized and changed the subject. By the way, how do I change this… … .
Smartphones were easy because you just had to long-press them or they had a settings button on the side. But when I tried to use an old phone that I wasn’t used to, I forgot all the methods.
No, if you do this wrong, he’ll totally notice! Lee Eun-woo is a monster who remembers and stores every single one of Kim So-young’s habits in his head.
“Eunwoo.”
“Yes?”
“Please call me Eunwoo. That’s what Soyoung calls me every day.”
It was as if he was saying, My name and everything I have is yours.
In the novel, Lee Eun-woo tries his best to have Kim So-young, while also expressing that he belongs to Kim So-young. Well, he did force himself onto Kim So-young at one point.
And Lee Eun-woo hates being called by his last name. Lee Eun-woo, who is young and deserves to be loved, has a background as a child who grew up without receiving love from his parents.
Among them, Lee Eun-woo’s father, Lee Hyun-woo, is portrayed as a domestic abuser who beats his young children. He beats Lee Eun-woo every time, even when he did nothing wrong. That is also the main reason why Lee Eun-woo hates him so much that he trembles with anger at him.
Because of that, Lee Eun-woo hates all three letters of the name that Lee Hyun-woo gave him. Well, later on, Kim So-young calls him by the two letters ‘Eun-woo’, so things get a little better, but it
seems like his last name is not like that. It seems like it’s because it’s the last name of his father who beat him.
“Okay. Okay, I understand, Eunwoo.”
Only then did Lee Eun-woo’s expression relaxed a little and he smiled brightly. Who would have thought that while he was smiling so purely without a trace of dust, he was actually a person engulfed in dark obsession, jealousy, and madness?
* * *
Daeheon Middle School.
I guessed it from the uniform, but it’s still a middle school at the beginning of the novel.
Maybe it’s a good thing. It’s possible to change Eunwoo Lee’s personality.
Eunwoo Lee and I crossed the playground straight to our class.
The students in the classroom were murmuring, “They’re here, they’re here.” Ah, everything else is fine, but this might be a bit difficult. I looked at the students who were slowly looking at Eunwoo Lee next to me and went to my seat.
This is why this novel received a lot of criticism while also being spotlighted for the meticulousness of its male protagonist.
Eunwoo Lee was a figure who had the power to control and shake the students in this classroom, and the students were well and truly shaken by Eunwoo Lee.
Eunwoo Lee isolated Soyoung Kim by exploiting the students. In other words, among all the students in this classroom, there was not a single person who would talk to me other than Eunwoo Lee.
In a heavy silence, I hung my bag on the bag hook attached to the desk.
It was so frustrating to experience bullying in a novel when I had never experienced it in real life.
It’s impossible to hate the students who are being manipulated by Lee Eun-woo, who has nothing. Let’s try our best not to show that I have been bullied for the first time.
Eunwoo Lee, who was sitting next to me naturally, handed me a textbook.
I looked up, while blinking.
“You didn’t bring what you needed for class today. It’s my
textbook.”
What kind of trick is this?
If he has the power, he can take away other people’s textbooks, but why does he insist on giving away his own textbooks? This is a bit suspicious. This is a time when the power of teachers still remains. In other words, teachers have more power than students, and it is a time when it is okay to punish students.
If you are caught by the teacher without a textbook, you will receive a penalty point, and there will be corporal punishment such as being beaten or running around the playground.
“… … Then Eunwoo will be punished.”
My worried expression was reflected in Lee Eun-woo’s eyes. I was completely reflected in it, but deep inside, Lee Eun-woo was rejoicing.
“It’s okay. The teachers will let me off the hook.”
At Eunwoo Lee’s words, the quiet classroom once again began to murmur. I couldn’t hear it clearly, but it was definitely a conversation that was chewing me out. It felt like my flesh and blood were there between the teeth.
And Eunwoo Lee pretended not to hear that sound and moved closer to me.
He had a delicate and warm soapy scent that was unique to soo young. It was a scent that a middle school-aged child could not have. It was always like that in novels. Even when he came home from playing outside during lunch, Lee Eun-woo alone was described as having a nice scent.
“Okay, if I do this, I can see it too, right?”
Eunwoo Lee laughed with his eyes wide open.
It was amazing. It was exactly as Lee Eun-woo said. Lee Eun-woo didn’t get scolded by the teacher. It was more bizarre than amazing.
When Lee Eun-woo said that he didn’t have a textbook, the teacher only advised him to bring one next time. The snake-like teacher, who was famous for being a devil, only rolled his eyes at Lee Eun-woo’s natural and innocent remark that he didn’t have a textbook, and didn’t give any specific sanctions.
The third period passed by in an instant.
When I looked at Lee Eun-woo as if I was curious, he blushed
and asked, ‘Why?’
“Ah, no, it’s just… … . It’s just like Eunwoo said, Eunwoo didn’t get in trouble.”
Eunwoo Lee smiled awkwardly at my words. It was the first time in four hours that she had been possessed by Soyoung Kim in this world, and he was smiling actually like a middle school student.
That face will eventually disappear completely. I feel so sorry for him, who has matured beyond his years and can only smile fakely. That such a precious talent has become an adult who tries to pretend to be a treasure.
Not for himself either. But it was only because of Kim So-young.
“Right? I said that if I say something, it always comes true?”
Seeing Eunwoo Lee smiling brightly, I thought of the novel again. There was definitely a reason why the teachers were so obedient to Eunwoo Lee.
Eunwoo Lee kept his family history a secret from me, no, from Soyoung Kim, till the end. Whenever Soyoung Kim asked him questions, he would usually bombard her with gifts to make her shut up.
From the beginning, the novel is centered around Lee Eun-woo seducing Kim So-young. It seems like the author was saying that even if Kim So-young was curious, Lee Eun-woo was very clever in diverting her mind.
That way, Lee Eun-woo won’t have any trouble kidnapping Kim So-young. Whether it’s kidnapping, confinement, or begging for love, it’s all the male protagonist’s ability to do it with money, Which indirectly hints that he was rich as hell.
So, until Lee Eun-woo became completely independent, Lee Hyun-woo, beaten him to death and he wasn’t left alone. What happened after that…?
Ding dong dang dong –
Ah.
I came to my senses with a start when the bell sounded for the end of break. I was screwed. I had another thought next to Eunwoo Lee. I gulped and looked at my desk.
“Today…….”
I heard Lee Eun-woo’s languid voice next to me.
I was timing when to turn back. Eunwoo Lee spoke first. I turned
my head to look at Eunwoo Lee. He was looking at me with a gentle smile and his chin resting on his hand.
“… … Today, Soyoung is thinking about something a lot… … I feel sad.”
Lee Eun-woo said so.
No, how long must Kim So-young have acted like an idiot in front of Lee Eun-woo? My heart pounded as if someone had hit me hard in the chest.
Shouldn’t I have brought out his obsession earlier? No, but it’s a little unfair. I didn’t even think for about 10 minutes and at most, it was only about 2 minutes that I was thinking about something else while talking to Lee Eun-woo.
Sigh, I guess I’ll just give up and transfer schools.
No. Kim So-young lives alone and doesn’t have parents. She does have relatives who provide her with money, but they are all people who ignore her.
Kim So-young, who doesn’t even have money for snacks, was transferring schools without even knowing the reason for the change? It was a ridiculous for her relatives at least. What could you expect from relatives who only sent you pocket money,
tuition, and studio fees once a month?
If you clearly say that you want to transfer, you will only hear sharp words like, “Why did you do that?” There is no way they will properly follow the necessary procedures for transferring, and it is questionable whether they will even show up to school as her guardian.
That’s why, that’s why Kim So-young can’t push Lee Eun-woo away. Because they are children who lack their parent’s interference in their life.
But what can I do about this? I gave Eunwoo Lee an apologetic look.
“I’m sorry, Eunwoo.”
I have never been without parents in my life. I have never been treated like leftover rice. As Myeongji-seon, I was an only daughter who enjoyed all of my parents’ love.
So, in this novel, the only one who suffers from a lack of affection is Lee Eun-woo. Not me.
In other words, the moment that guy tries to do something like mental obsession and confinement to me, I will leave to Seoul. Of course, there is absolutely no guarantee that he won’t follow me!
I, Myung Ji-seon, who is now in Kim So-young’s body, can go to my relatives first and cry while complaining that I am being bullied, and I can cause a scene that is so bad that it is impossible to do it.
“From now on, I’ll only see Eunwoo.”
And my fox power is 100, you little shit.
(T/n – Fox power is like power of cunningness or fooling someone)

5th and 6th period was physical education. It was the only time when Lee Eun-woo could be away from me. The most handsome and popular guy in the class, who was officially designated as such, would let the weak Kim So-young rest in the shade and play soccer or basketball. Every time that happened, Kim So-young would fall for Lee Eun-woo, who only scored points.
“Today, girls will play dodgeball! Boys will play soccer!”
Shit.
I want to play dodgeball too! But I can’t help it. I smiled as I looked at Eunwoo Lee, who was holding my hand tightly even under the sweltering sun. On the other hand, Eunwoo Lee smiled fakely as he looked at my smile. I could see the corners of his
mouth trembling noticeably…
I glanced towards the playground.
The large playground is an oval-shaped playground with a track around the perimeter, unlike the old days, and it also has artificial grass. In addition, there is an outdoor basketball court and many sports facilities. That seems to be the reason why it is okay for other classes to have physical education classes overlapping.
What caught his eye were boys from other classes playing basketball on the outdoor basketball court. Eunwoo Lee was paying attention to that.
Of course, yes. Other classes can have sports classes too. The problem is that the shaded spot that Kim So-young likes to use during physical education is on that side of the court where the other boys would be playing basket ball.
“My fox power is 100, you little shit.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
