Chapter 32 – Minji and the Five Penalties (4)
“Ugh, you punks… A bunch of wretches..”
Female customers who were putting on makeup in the women’s restroom at the shopping mall went out one by one, either surprised or frowning at the sound they heard from inside the toilet.
I don’t know who it was, but it was because I was crying sadly in the bathroom.
Hyeyoon was sitting on her toilet, burying her face in her hands and trying to swallow as much tears as possible.
She thought to herself that she had become calm about her past with Min-ji, but Hye-yoon was mistaken.
She thought that she overcame it well, but that was because she tried hard to ignore and press down on her wounds.
The wound she had been holding back finally burst at the fact that even though she knew So-min, whom she used to play with, she didn’t say anything or help.
Hyeyoon wiped the tears that flowed endlessly.
‘Smart’
Just then, I heard someone knocking on the bathroom door.
Hyeyoon replied in a trembling voice.
“There is..”
Why are you knocking when you see the door is locked?
Hyeyoon thought to herself and she calmed down a bit before wiping away her tears.
‘Smart’
However, as if ignoring Hyeyoon’s words outside her, she heard a knock once again. Hyeyoon wondered why she was bothering the world when she was already having a hard time.
She opened her mouth to say something and heard a familiar voice outside her.
“It’s me, Hyeyoon. Have you calmed down?”
“..Sister?”
Hye-yoon hurriedly opened the bathroom door at Mi-ryung’s voice and went out.
She said how much Mi-ryung cried, looking at Hye-yoon’s swollen eyes with her pitiful gaze.
“Are you okay? Shall we go for a drive since I brought my car?”
Hye-yoon wondered why she, Mi-ryung, and she knew where she was.
She said she was going shopping, but she didn’t say exactly where she was going, and Mi-ryung, who knew that she was crying in the bathroom, questioned her.
But even that was short-lived, as Hyeyoon, who was mentally exhausted, nodded her head slowly and she walked over to Miryung and hugged her.
“Sister.. Whoops..!”
“Yeah, it’s okay. It’s okay, so tell me what happened.”
Hyeyoon was embraced by Miryung and began to cry.
Mi-ryung stroked Hye-yoon’s hair and comforted her.
“..Lee Hye-yoon, if we had just figured out the subject, we would have become really good friends.”
Ji-hye, who only lets Mi-ryung into the bathroom, waits outside the women’s bathroom, listening to the sounds from inside.
Hye-yoon’s crying left Ji-hye feeling bitter.
Hye-yoon left it to her Mi-ryung to make her psychologically follow her Mi-ryung more, and she herself took on her Min-ji side.
“Oh, he’s a victim too…”
Ji-hye, who knows exactly Hye-yoon’s past through her notes, may not know Hye-yoon, but she must have been the person in this world who could understand and sympathize with Hye-yoon’s wounds the most.
Originally, she was Hyeyun with a good character, so even if she wasn’t blinded by her vengeance, she might have kept her line and built a good relationship with her wisdom.
But it’s just a what-if story.
Hye-yoon’s name was already written on the notebook, and her wisdom began to take her revenge on Hye-yoon.
Ji-hye tried to suppress her regret and entrusted it to Mi-ryung, and she hurriedly headed to the place where Min-ji was.
She also began to be interested in a new character named Han So-min.
After Hye-yoon learned the truth about her and left in a state of shock.
Minji finally figured out that the opportunity had come when Hyeyoon was gone, and took Somin to the outdoor terrace table arranged by the shopping mall.
At a cafe near the terrace, the two people who ordered drinks and a piece of cake for dessert were sitting face to face and talking about what had happened.
From the beginning of her summer vacation, Min-ji, who revealed that her body started to deteriorate at some point, was telling So-min, who was listening to her, one by one what had happened.
Somin tried to listen intently, but she couldn’t believe it and took a bite of her piece of cake.
“Wait a minute, Minji. I’m really sorry for interrupting you, but.. I can’t believe it..”
As she recalled her memories of what she had been through, she wondered if she was mentally exhausted. She only talked, but Minji looked haggard. At Somin’s words, Minji took out her cell phone and played something about her.
It was Minji’s crazy fart ringtone that was set as her own ringtone.
As she listened for a while, Somin said in awe.
“Okay, Minji, stop, stop!”
Somin stopped Minji and took a bite of her cake, which she ordered for dessert. She said Minji let out a sigh.
“It’s all because of Jihye Kim, who’s a bad girl at our girls’ high school. Somin-ah, help me. How can you not do that to her?”
Somin thought about the notes Minji had told her about.
A note that treats people arbitrarily, there was no way it could exist in common sense, and it was ridiculously unreal. However, the Minji in front of her is so broken that she doesn’t want to be the Minji she used to know.
Her huge ass, which was almost impossible by nature, and the proud Min-ji growing her armpit hair and setting her ringtone to the sound of a fart seemed to prove the truth of Min-ji’s words.
Somin sighed and said.
“Okay, first I’ll take a little rest and calm down and then I’ll find a way to help you.”
Minji nodded her head and gave her a sigh of relief.
If So-min helped her, it seemed that her wisdom would cause an unexpected ambush, so maybe she could make the smug Kim Ji-hye’s face red.
Somin ate all the pieces of cake before he knew it and stood up.
“Oh, is it because I didn’t eat lunch? I’m hungry. I’ll order another one. Do you want to eat too?”
Minji looked at Somin and answered.
“Oh, no. You eat. You eat a lot for some reason.”
Somin had a body full of health and beauty to the extent that she had to exercise regularly and take care of her body.
She has been known for her news since middle school, but now that she is a high school student, her appetite may have increased, Minji thought.
“Okay, so wait a minute.”
Somin smiled at Minji and headed to the counter. Minji looked at Somin’s back and exhaled her breath and took a sip of the drink.
In the brain fight between Minji and her wisdom, Minji was completely at a disadvantage.
Even so, Min-ji did not know the exact information about her notes, so she did not know what power she had and how far she could reach it, and Ji-hye could predict all of Min-ji’s thoughts and her current actions.
Ji-hye, who was still hiding not far from the terrace and looking at everything through her notebook, grinned and muttered:
“After all, you talked about the note. Choi Min-ji. Everything that happens in the future is because of you.”
Wisdom directed her gaze somewhere and took out her pen and wrote something in her notebook.
At the end of Ji-hye’s gaze, she saw the face of Han So-min, who was choosing her cake at her counter.
‘Rurrrr”
“Ugh…!”
When Minji suddenly had a crazy stomach ache, she unknowingly let out her moan and clutched her stomach.
This feeling did not seem to be a fart. Is it because she is relaxed? She thought Minji was going to tell her that when Somin came back, she would go to the bathroom, but she did.
“Why isn’t he here…!”
When you ask for a piece of cake, it’s usually served right away, so you don’t have to wait.
Minji thought it was strange that Somin didn’t come and looked towards the counter.
Somin was coming to the table with a huge amount of sliced cakes on a tray. Minji was surprised to see Somin like that.
“Somin! Why are you eating so much?!”
She tilted her head as if she didn’t understand, and So-min, who put the cake down on her table, said to Min-ji.
“Huh? Normally, you should eat this much.”
“What?”
Min-ji, who was not satisfied with So-min’s answer, asked back as if she was annoyed. However, the gurgling stomach pain was worse, so she said Minji.
“Oh no… I can’t do it. Somin-ah, I need to go to the bathroom for a while..!”
Minji tried to get up from her seat. But her buttocks didn’t budge as if they were glued on.
Embarrassed, Minji shouted.
“What..! Why am I like this?”
Then, quietly, someone put a hand on Minji’s shoulder from behind Minji. Minji, startled by the sudden touch, screamed at her and looked behind her.
“Kyaaaaagh!”
Min-ji, who had screamed at her, looked behind her, and Ji-hye Kim smiled and made eye contact with her. Minji said embarrassed.
“Ji, Ji-hye! How can you…”
I should have called her Master Wisdom, but now she was in front of Somin. Min-ji asked cautiously, and Ji-hye sat down on her chair next to her table, and she said to Min-ji.
“You talked about the notebook on your own. That’s why your friend is in trouble.”
“Uh?”
Wisdom’s words were enough to embarrass Minji. Wisdom spoke her mind calmly.
“Cursed is the person who speaks freely about the notebook. Your friend is cursed because of you.”
Of course, she is a lie that Ji-hye is trying to deceive by writing her name, but Min-ji, who knows nothing about the note, of course has no choice but to believe her words of wisdom.
After hearing her words of wisdom, Min-ji finally realized that she hadn’t said anything since So-min brought her cake, and she looked at So-min. Sure enough, Somin was sitting on a chair with empty eyes, staring at the cake.
Ji-hye smiled and opened her notebook in front of Min-ji.
“Then what should your friend do?”
Minji screamed in pain at such wisdom.
“Don’t do it..! So-min has nothing to do with it. Please don’t do that. It’s Ji-hye. No, Master Ji-hye!”
Despite Min-ji’s earnest cry, Ji-hye looked at her So-min and tapped the tip of her pen on her lower lip, and she said to So-min,
“As expected, it’s more comfortable to listen directly. Didn’t you say your name was Han So-min?”
Somin replied with empty eyes.
“Yes, Master Jihye. I am Han So-min.”
“Somin!”
Minji screamed at Somin, struggling with her motionless body. Those symptoms were often seen when he was being abused by the unsightly personality of Mina.
Min-ji was desperate for So-min to not be in the same situation as her.
Seeing Minji like that, Jihye smiled and asked Somin.
“What type of person do you hate the most?”
Somin opened her mouth to Jihye’s question.
“I am..”
“No, Somin-ah, please..!”
Minji was almost on the verge of tears. Ignoring Minji, Somin continued.
“I hate fat people the most.”
Minji tightly closed her eyes. From before, Somin hated fat people. That’s why Somin was overly surprised when Minji’s hips got bigger.
Wisdom asked with a smile.
“Yes? Why?”
“..It’s because fat people can’t take care of themselves and lack self-control, they’re fat, they smell, they’re hot when they’re with them, and they want a lot.”
Somin liked someone who was good at taking care of herself.
Minji, who was like a god of self-management, was also a member of the leadership team herself, and she was a person who worked hard at self-management.
Conversely, obese people morbidly disliked Somin. The reason was Somin’s family.
Somin was a family of five, including her parents, older sister, and younger brother, but among them, Somin was the only one who was slim.
Out of courtesy, they express themselves as chubby, but their mother and father are definitely fat, and their older sister and younger sister gained weight simply because they ate just like their parents.
Is it because I’ve been living with such people? So-min didn’t like such a family and felt that it was all because of the fat people’s lack of self-management.
So Somin worked out even more desperately. To not be like her family.
Wisdom nodded her head and wrote something in her notebook, she said.
“I have to change my plan. Originally, Minji Choi was not going to go to the bathroom until she finished eating the cake, but she has to change what she eats.”
Minji said at the words of wisdom.
“Please.. Master Ji-hye.. Please forgive So-min.”
Jihye looked at Minji strangely and said,
“What are you saying. Minji, it’s all because of you? Why are you talking about yourself?”
‘Rurrrr’
Minji wanted to say something more, but she couldn’t help but frown because of the stomach pain that suddenly got worse.
Wisdom sneered and said to Somin.
“Now then, Somin. Are you coming back to consciousness?”
After Wisdom’s words, she came to life in Somin’s eyes, and she looked around her with a bewildered expression.
“Huh? I must have headed for the counter…”
When Somin came to his senses, Minji, who was sweating profusely with her face pale, and an ugly girl she had never seen before came into her eyes.
“Are you Minji?”
When So-min looked at her Min-ji and asked anxiously, Ji-hye opened her mouth first and said, as if trying to get Min-ji to shut up.
“Hello Somin-ah. You may have heard the story, but my name is Kim Ji-hye. I am also the owner of this note.”
So-min showed the notebook in front of her eyes and instinctively yanked before the girl finished speaking. She tried to snatch the notes but failed.
Because her body didn’t move.
Wisdom smiled at Somin.
“I’m sure he’s not Minji’s friend, so he’s really quick to judge. Do you see Minji now?”
‘Kureuk! Gurruk!’
An ominous sound began to echo from Minji’s stomach, enough that even Somin could hear it. Minji was intermittently making her moaning in pain to the extent that she couldn’t speak.
“Because I’ve tweaked it a bit. Has it been three weeks since Minji hasn’t pooped? Because of that, if she does something wrong, she might collapse like this.”
When Somin glared at her, Jihye smirked.
“I’ll give you 5 minutes of cake there, so eat all of them. Then I’ll send Minji to the bathroom.”
There were 8 pieces of cake on the tray. Somin was puzzled why she bought so many cakes, she said.
“Eat all of this? Me?”
Jihye did not answer and stabbed Minji in the side. Then Minji’s stomach, which was bubbling with stomach pain, felt extreme pain.
“Ah.. Black!”
She tried not to be a nuisance to So-min, but she couldn’t stand it, and Min-ji let out her moans.
“Oh okay, I got it!”
Somin shouted and hurriedly pushed the cake into her mouth. Seeing that, Ji-hye smiled and Min-ji tightly closed her eyes in her guilt.
I thought I’d tell you the truth when this game is over. Wisdom wondered if So-min could be confident even after hearing the truth.
