Chapter 66: That Place Is the Same No Matter Where You Go
Choi Mujin intended to check on Ha Giyeon’s leg the moment he got to school.
He had wrapped a bandage around the knee, but it wasn’t the kind of injury one could just endure with that. It was a deep wound—deep enough that it should’ve been stitched up at the hospital.
Judging by Ha Giyeon’s actions and condition, it was obvious he hadn’t gone—unless Ha Dohoon had found out. So Choi Mujin had already decided he would take Ha Giyeon to the hospital, even if it meant making him leave school without permission.
At this point, when he was already hated, what would it matter to be hated a little more? If Ha Dohoon or his parents tried to say anything to Ha Giyeon, he was prepared to step in and block them himself.
It was rare for someone as headstrong as Choi Mujin to actually make a plan.
It was all because Ha Giyeon had appeared in his dreams all night. In the dream, Giyeon was lying on the floor, bleeding from his arms and legs, crying. But he didn’t make a sound—only tears fell from his eyes.
Mujin had tried to rush toward him, to reach him, but he woke up right then and there. Maybe it was because of seeing Giyeon bleed the day before—because of that disturbing dream, all of Mujin’s nerves were fixated on Giyeon’s injury from the moment he woke up.
So before finding Ha Giyeon, he first went to Ha Dohoon’s class to test whether Dohoon knew anything about it.
“What? Ha Dohoon’s not here?”
“Uh... I heard he’s absent because of family matters.”
Well, that wasn’t so surprising. Ha Dohoon often skipped school. But what got on Mujin’s nerves was the fact that Ha Giyeon hadn’t shown up either.
“Uh... did they say it was allergies? I heard he was absent because he’s sick.”
