Chapter 29: The Villains Kindness (1)

Kim Sayeon continued to cry, her words incoherent and unable to speak properly.

After a while passed, she finally stopped, and slowly, her lips parted.

Thank you she said, mumbling.

Theres no need, Im truly sorry for what happened, the principal said, voice sounding akin to urgency.

The principal gave a sigh of relief, bowing deeply once more to Kim Sayeon and giving his utmost sincere apology.

It seems that your body is feeling a little unwell. Youre free to leave the hospital and get a regular check-up from here whenever you like should you find something wrong with your body. The medical bills you dont need to worry about it as itll be paid for by the school. All of it. Then Ill be taking my leave. Have a good rest, Miss Saeyeon.

The principal cautiously stepped out of the patients room and silently closed the door. He could hear the students silent sob inside the room as she slowly calmed down, his heart pounding erratically.

Wiping her tears, Saeyeon saw her smartphone laying on top of the table next to the bed. Her mind began to move and she started to worry about her little brother who was probably wondering where she was at this time, so she sent him a small message that she would be staying overnight at a friends house and not to worry.

Ah! My part-time job

Her mind spun quickly, worrying about her work at the convenience store as she had fainted. Shes sure no one was there to take care of the store and customers at this time.

Sayeon looked up at the big clock. Six long hours had passed. Guilt corroded her heart and mind. The store owner was kind, always giving her words of encouragement with a smile.

She went to her contacts list and called the store owner.

Sayeon! Are you all right? I heard you collapsed?!

There was a sound of relief from the other side of the phone.

Thank goodness. I was very worried you almost gave me a heart attack!

Im sorry

No, I shouldve taken care of you better

Um what about the shop? Sayeon asked cautiously.

She then heard the store owners hearty laugh loud and clear.

Dont worry about it!

Huh?

Everything in the store had been sold. Can you believe it?!

Everything? Sold?

Yep! Some people came in and immediately bought everything in the store, including the products in the storage room in one transaction without batting an eye! I almost passed out! Anyway, because we dont have anything to sell tomorrow, well have to close for the day and restock.

H-how?

She couldnt understand what was happening. Her worldview seemed to have gone a dramatic change from the moment she fainted to waking up.

Was she dreaming?

The fleeting thought came to mind but she pushed it away. Everything everything that was too real yet it seemed like a fantasy

Hoo! Saeyeon, I cant quite wrap my head around it either to think that you share the same class as Lee Jinwoo in that first-class university! My God! Right! I think he purchased the whole building as well. Are you close to him or something? You sure are hugging his thighs well, Saeyeon.

..

Sayeon and the store owner talked for a little while longer before ending the call.

She couldnt follow what was happening and how the situation was unfolding.

Lee Jinwoo?

That particular name rang in her mind.

Her dazed expression lasted for a while longer.

***

The principal hurriedly exited the hospital, a sense of nervousness washing over him as he saw someone standing in front of his car.

It was Lee Jinwoos bodyguard and his secretary Kim Yoona.

Only

Cold sweat immediately formed on his temples for her expression was cold enough to freeze water, to freeze him. A simple stare at her made one feel like theyd be sent to icy-cold oblivion.

I Ive done everything youve ordered me to, the principal said cautiously.

I see. Did you apologize properly as well? Yoona said coolly.

Y-yes o-of course, the principal stuttered, much like Park Jeongho. Um uh please tellhimthat I sincerely apologize for the sins Ive caused unknowingly I-I swear I didnt know what was happening to her!

Yoona was silent and didnt care to reply to the principal whose eyes kept shaking and trembling in fear of what might happen to him. As soon as Lee Jinwoo chose not to look at him favorably everything everything would be over and hed be obliterated from society!

Those goddamn sons of a b*tches! Ill tear you all apart when I get my hands on you!the principal cursed inwardly.

The only reason the whole incident began in the first place was that someone had informed him that the student body members had quite a strong backing in terms of wealth and political power therefore he allowed them to have some authority under his belt.

However, he, the vice-principal, and even the administration would never imagine what horrible ostracity would end up coming their way because of their whimsical ignorance.
