For some reason, the school uniform store owner double-checked his name. fter 47 years of being Kim Deuk-pal, he knew how his name was treated. t’s an uncommon name among his peers, and nowadays, it’s even teased among teenagers. e felt a sting in his stomach as he tore off the threads that held his name tag together with the knife. owever,he tried to remember his name so he wouldn’t make a mistake when he returned to school tomorrow. ong Yi-heon. ong Yi-heon.ead only at salmonlatte . com.

“Sorry, I’ll put it on after school!”
He folded his arms at the waist and shouted like a boss. eing caught on the first day of the semester was not an idealthing, but how dare that student step on his teacher’s shadow? When Kim Deuk-pal was growing up, a teacher was a ‘learning person’ whom the whole village had to treat with reverence and respect.. This annoying watermark is not there

“I won’t let this happen again.”
Kim Deuk-pal shook his head, just like he did when he was a young gangster. t wasn’t that he didn’t want to listen to his boss and teacher, but there was no limit to what they could say. n my experience, it’s better to admit your mistakes quickly and reflect on them.ead only at salmonlatte . com.

Apparently, organizational life tricks worked at school, too, because the dean stopped nagging and craned his neck.
“You know what, I’m not planning to give you a detention? Just stand over there and stand for ten minutes, then go up to the classroom. ou tell them I told you not to write my name down.”. This annoying watermark is not there
“Thanks!”
The dean pointed to where the Residence Life kids wrote down the names of the caught kids, their grade level and class. t was the first day of the semester, so no name tags were used. owever, the students in line were very distinctive, with brightly colored hair, flashy piercings, and mended uniforms that were way out of line with school rules.ead only at salmonlatte . com.

Kim Deuk-pal, who was in an uncomfortable mood, jerked his chin from side to side to admire the bleached hair.
“Wow, that’s a lot of hair.”
“…….”
“But really, where did I see that?…”
The schoolboy held Kim Duk-pal’s face in front of him and studied it. t was familiar. specially the lower jaw, the line that ran from the chin to below the ear. s his gaze settled on his thin lips, he remembered someone, but quickly denied it. t couldn’t be Song Yiheon. ot only does he not look like him, but the insubstantial bastard is dead and won’t be able to stand straight in front of him when he wakes up.ead only at salmonlatte . com.

The gray-haired man was a first-grader, Kim Duk-pal believed. e couldn’t remember where he’d seen him before, so Kim Deuk-pal assumed he was one of the middle schoolers he’d met in the fish room and threatened her. t was cute to see a bunch of misfits trying to mimic an organization’s culture and pretend to be disciplined.ead only at salmonlatte . com.

Meanwhile, Kim Deuk-pal grabbed the wrist of a bleached-haired man who swings at his chin. euk-pal tried to cut him some slack because he was young, but if he didn’t know any better, Deuk-pal was willing to step on him. he gray-haired boy pulled his hand away from Deuk-pal’s chin and made the wacky comment he wanted.ead only at salmonlatte . com.

“What, you bastard?”
He was impatient, and his hands were rough. t didn’t occur to him that this was a school, and that there were students from the Life Guidance Department right next to him. e grabbed Kim Deuk-pal by the neck and punched him. o, he tried to punch. e was about to slam his fist into Kim Duk-pal’s cheek when he caught the slap and it landed lightly. owever, Kim Deuk-pal’s palm first covered his bleached hair, blocking his view.ead only at salmonlatte . com.

Although Song Yi-heon’s body lacked muscle, he was agile. ombined with Kim Deuk-pal’s skill, the result was quite satisfactory. anicked by the obstruction, Kim Deuk-pal grabbed him and slammed him into the wall. ith a thud, the pain of being hit by a solid brick shot through his back and into his chest.ead only at salmonlatte . com.

Third year, first class. im Duk-pal looked at the nameplate protruding horizontally from the sliding door frame and curled his lips to stop his mouth corners from rising to the sky. ccording to the woman called ‘Butler’, Song Yi-heon’s seat was number 12 in the first class of the third year.ead only at salmonlatte . com.

As expected, the woman who came to Song Yi-heon’s hospital room was the butler. he was assigned by the chairman to keep an eye on the hidden government and illegitimate children and make sure they didn’t show up. lthough she found Song Yi-heon and his mother pathetic and tiresome, she dutifully followed the chairman’s orders.ead only at salmonlatte . com.

She cleaned up after Song Yi-heon’s accident. he settled with Kim Deuk-pal’s henchmen, who demanded the truth about the accident, with a lawyer, and notified the school that Song Yi-heon had missed make-up work due to the car accident. e didn’t bother to send Song Yi-heon a note or prepare for the upcoming semester, but she gave him half of his assigned classes, barely falling into neglect.ead only at salmonlatte . com.

Her one act of kindness was to inform the new grade teacher that Song Yi-heon’s car accident was suicide-related, which she did with disgust and contempt.
The original Song Yi-heon would have been hurt by her indifference, but Kim Duk-pal was grateful. t meant he could go to school without suspicions. e took a final breath before entering his third grade classroom. ith a long breath, he pushed open the door, keeping his composure.ead only at salmonlatte . com.

But just as his years as a vendor were not in vain, he was not discouraged by reality. hen he realized there were children sitting in front of him, he patted the girl in front of him on the shoulder. t was a careful touch, touching someone else’s precious daughter. hen the girl, who was chatting happily with her friends, looked back at him in annoyance, he shook his head.ead only at salmonlatte . com.
