Taming His Madness

Episode 5

Fortunately, I avoided being late.

I was able to barely pass through the school gate and enter the classroom.

Of course, it was thanks to Jeong Soo-hyeok ignoring all the signals and dangerously passing between cars.

It was such a dangerous way to school that I thought it would be better to be late.

Yoon-Jae thought that it wasn’t a thrill, it was just a dangerous act that put her life at risk.

It was something I never wanted to experience again.

But Jeong Soo-hyeok did that without any concern.

One wrong move can lead to a major accident and kill you on the spot.

Is Jeong Soo-hyeok okay with that?

Yoonjae thought that maybe he was going around every night doing things like the motorcycle gangs that she had only heard

about.

The reason Jeong Soo-hyeok comes home late at night may be because he roams around like a biker.

With such a good head, why would he do something so dangerous?

‘I don’t need a family either.’

I didn’t know Jeong Soo-hyeok would say something like that.

‘I kept looking at you, but you didn’t notice?’

You’ve been watching me the whole time?

That can’t be true.

If that were really the case, there’s no way she wouldn’t have known.

‘You’re just teasing me.’

It’s just a matter of playing with her, like a cat playing with a mouse.

If you start to listen to every word of that, you will only end up

being manipulated by Jeong Soo-hyeok and become a laughing stock.

It was at that moment that Yoonjae’s forehead, which was walking along lost in thought, hit something soft.

I was walking with my eyes only on the floor, so I didn’t even know who was in front of me.

“I’m sorry… … .”

As Yoonjae raised her face to apologize, I saw cool eyes looking down at me.

Jeong Soo-hyeok was looking down at her, his head and face soaked with sweat, as if he had just come from playing basketball at the playground during his lunch break.

“… … .”

Yoonjae, who realized that the person she had bumped into was Jeong Suhyeok, quickly tried to leave the place.

But that didn’t happen because Soo-hyeok grabbed Yoon-jae’s wrist and went down the stairs.

It was almost lunchtime so there were no children passing by on

the stairs downstairs.

Yoonjae, who was almost forcibly dragged to the bottom corner of the stairs, shook off Soo-hyeok’s hand that was holding her wrist.

“What are you doing now?”

“I am just pretending to know you.”

“Are you crazy?”

“If I won’t pretend to know you like this, then you won’t know about me either. If I would just watch you from sidelines, then you won’t even know about it after a hundred years, so I decided to pretend to know you.”

“So what do you get from it?”

“You.”

“That won’t happen.”

“Is that so?”

Where does this confidence come from?

Since he is always ahead of others in sports, studies, and everything else, is it just that he is confident in these things too?

Since he doesn’t know what failure or losing is, so he naturally thinks he can do whatever he wants?

If that’s the case, then you’re too arrogant.

“I have to go back to class. Get out of my way.”

“You.”

The smell of sweat wafted past my nose, accompanied by a low whisper.

In the summer of July, the body of Jeong Soo-hyeok, who had been running on the playground for about an hour, smelled of sweat.

Is this unusually sticky feeling due to the smell of sweat or the look in Jeong Soo-hyeok’s eyes?

Right now, Jeong Soo-hyeok’s eyes aren’t smiling at all.

Far from being funny, he’s looking at me as if he is going to eat me at any moment.

Eyes that intimidate others.

But Yoonjae also glared back at Jeong soo hyeok like that.

“Do you need my help to win in this test?”

“What?”

This time, Yoonjae really doubted her ears.

At first I doubted my ears, and then I got angry.

“Are you kidding me?”

Are you kidding me now by saying that I always come in second place?

If that’s the case, then it’s really the worst.

It’s disgusting.

“I can make sure you get first place in this exam.”

“What an unlucky kid.”

Yoonjae held back the urge to really hit Soo hyeok and pushed his chest away.

“If I get the questions wrong on purpose, wouldn’t you get first place? That means I can get a few questions wrong. If you want.”

“Do I look like a crazy kid who wants to be number one to you?”

Yoonjae’s eyes were filled with disgust as she looked at Su-hyeok.

It was a feeling of disgust, like looking at a beast.

No matter how much I want to be at the number one spot, but I wouldn’t want it in this way.

Nothing will change if I get first place like this.

“I’d rather be second with my own strength than be first with your help. You piece of trash.”

Yoon-Jae left the place after saying those words.

Soo-hyeok chuckled as he heard Yoon-jae disappear from above his head and the bell rang indicating the end of lunch time.

It was a laugh that left no regrets at all.

No, it was the kind of laugh that showed he already knew that

kind of reaction would come.
