THE LITTLE BRAT'S SWEET AND SASSY 14

Jhope

(He suddenly stepped on the brake and turned his head around in shock.) “Why are we going there?”

His gaze fell onto Taehyung and his phone. What could have happened to make Second Master Kim this angry? He too took his phone out and opened Weibo. On the search trend, a few hashtags were trending and one of them caught his attention — Jungkook. Shocked, he quickly tapped on the hashtag to find out what had happened. On Weibo’s trending page, several threads garnered the highest attention. Other than the video about Jungkook pushing someone over the rail, there was another long thread about Jungkook background too. The discussion at the bottom was as heated as it could get and even pictures were attached. The thread described Jungkook as a loner who was never taught proper manners. All he knew was to get himself in trouble and cause trouble for others. At the end of it, there were also pictures posted by anonymous users that exposed his past.

[OP, I used to study in the same school as him. he was already well-known when he was in Gyeonggi-do because he always got himself into a fight and has countless demerits. I heard that she got students hospitalized on several occasions too. Son of a wealthy family? More like the son of a convict who’s serving sentence in prison. he might have used his mother’s connections to get into Busan Second High, but his personality would never change. It’s not at all surprising that he would get into a fight again.] [he just got transferred to our school a few days ago and he already made a reputation for herself. As if beating someone was not bad enough, he even argued with a teacher in class and got kicked out. he acted like it was nothing. Since everyone is talking about here, I might as well reveal it and let everyone know what kind of person he is.] [137xxxxxxx, his phone number. No need to thank me.]

When Jhope scrolled down to the last picture, his eye twitched and he instinctively looked at Taehyung. Taehyung was leaning back on the seat and seemed like he was making a call.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available. Please…”

Taehyung hung up the phone. Jhope scrolled through the other trending topics. Most of the comments scolded and criticized him , but among all that was one tiny comment that tried to fight for him. [LittleLittleLittleFeather: he might be a problematic person but you shouldn’t just reveal his phone number to the public. This is cyberbullying.] The particular comment received very few likes but had a ton of replies. It was also pinned as the top comment. [T.Ogen: A wild St. Mary appeared! Shocked.jpg] [DongDong-DongDong: Something must be wrong with your brain. Not only did you not sympathize with the girl who almost got pushed over the rail, but you even care about the bully? he should have expected this whenshe decided to resolve things with violence.] [hgjiag: Since you’re so righteous, why don’t you let him choke you for a change? This is not just random bullying yet Busan Second High did not react to it at all. Are they trying to protect the bully?] A tremendous amount of malicious replies flooded that particular comment. Every word was as sharp as a blade. he was only a 17-year-old boy.

Jhope

He sighed. 💭 ‘No wonder Taehyung reacted so strongly…’

Jhope

“I’ll tell Dr. choi to reschedule for tomorrow.”

Taehyung was obviously not in the mood for his doctor’s meeting. It would be useless even if Jhope decided to take him there. He must first take care of Jungkook case. Dr. choi stood up but he was not angry. Instead, he told Jhope to look out for Taehyung without asking what happened or why. Jhope sighed a breath of relief before he turned the car around. Taehyung then dialed another number on his phone. … It had been a few hours since the incident got out but the incident showed no signs of it calming down. In fact, it got worse. The internet was abuzz, yet the person in the center of all this, Jungkook, reacted like he was not involved. he still went to his classes and studied as he usually would. The last class in the afternoon was self-learning. Jungkook had a stack of mock test papers for a Physics competition in front of him. Song Kang had drafted the mock test paper for the participating class himself, and he told Jungkook to practice for a bit. The Physics competition would cover a wide range of topics, and the level of it was much harder than the normal high-school senior-level Physics Jungkook dropped his head down and looked at the questions. he might have memories of his past life but answering the mock-up test papers without preparation felt a little strange and unfamiliar for him. Only after answering a few questions did he slowly get the hang of it and his mind could think better. he gradually calmed down. Yoongi was playing with his phone when he had a glance at Jungkook. He looked rather hesitant.

Min Yoongi

(He got closer to Sunghoon and whispered) “Someone is trying to stop our new classmate at the school entrance tonight.”

Since Jungkook had been flushed out by the almighty keyboard warriors, everything about him was exposed on the internet. This made it easy for someone to locate him if they would like to confront him or sorts. Sunghoon turned a deaf ear.

Min Yoongi

(He then said) “Sigh, I heard Mr. Song wanted him in the competition class, so he’s joining the night class with you guys. I know what’s going on but he helped you before right? Shouldn’t you repay the favor?”

Sunghoon stopped writing … Song Kang was sitting in front of Sun Namkoong in the office

Song Kang

“You were there that day. You knew better than anyone what happened. As long as the school provides an explanation, the problem will solve itself. Isn’t that a win-win situation?”

Song Kang

(He tapped on his phone.) “Look at what people are saying about Jungkook.”

Sun Namkoong

(He brows were knitted together.) “The best way to handle this is to not handle it. If the school steps up on her behalf, it’ll only exacerbate things, which will do no good to anyone.”

Song Kang

(He grunted.) “You are afraid that it might harm the school’s reputation, right?”

Sun Namkoong

(He shrugged. ) “Things won’t last on the internet. Just turn a blind eye and the netizens will soon forget about this.”

Getting Second High involved in this incident was probably not a good idea. Song Kang knew the conversation was getting nowhere and it frustrated him a lot.

Song Kang

“I’ll call Uncle Shi then.”

Uncle Shi, or Shi Byung-hun, was the principal of Second High. However, his call could not get through, which shocked him.

Song Kang

‘He’s on a call? Who could it be? This is definitely not helping the matter!’

After the self-learning class and dinner, Jungkook grabbed her bag for the next class. It was almost time, so he took his phone out. The moment he turned on his phone, countless scolding and missed calls from unregistered numbers flooded his phone. he ignored every one of them and found a message with a familiar name.

Other side

[Brother kook, I found out who shot the video. The name is Ting Xi, a senior in your school. Did you offend this guy before?]

Ting Xi. Of course Jungkook knew the name. The guy was one of So-hee fanatic pursuers. However, the guy came from an average family, so he would never have the money to push the incident to the trending page.

Jungkook

[Got it.] (he replied with a voice message.)

Jungkook

[Send this out anonymously at 9:00 p.m. tonight.] (Before he could send his message, he received a new one

Other side

[BROTHER KOOK! LOOK! Someone released a video on Weibo!]

Curious, Jungkook tapped on Weibo. [@Yit_Z: Plot twist! The bullied is actually the bully!]

The video that followed played automatically. The video was the actual surveillance camera footage from the corridor, and it showed several boys and girls mocking someone. “Look! he’s the one. I heard his father was a murderer!” The boy in front of the group stopped in his steps and turned around. The boys and girls continued to mock and say horrible things to him. The footage showed what happened the other day. From the moment the group mocked and sneered at Jungkook to Jungkook pushing the girl to the rail. The video ended with the boys and girls apologizing to Jungkook. Regarding who was in the right or wrong, every detail was shown clearly. The person on the other end of the phone, who had also finished watching the video, was stunned.

Other side

[Brother kook, did you place cameras in the corridor and recorded what they said?]

Jungkook was not the one who released the video. Only a handful of personnel could get their hands on the security footage in Second High. Though if he wanted to, getting his hands on this security footage was not a problem. However, he knew Second High management well enough to know that they would never make a stand on the matter. They would just wait it out and let the problem solve itself. Yet now, someone had released the footage online. It would cause a ripple of effects. [CoolPurpleSweetPotato: OMG! So this is the truth? Does it mean that we wrongly accused him?!] [HuahuaRO: Honestly, scolding and criticizing someone like that would make even a saint furious. Leave people’s parents alone, isn’t that common sense? If you can’t control your mouth, don’t blame others for beating you up.] [LilAnTriedHerBestToday: What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Just because someone called you names, so you pushed them off the rail? It’s a fact that her father is in prison. There are a ton of ways to teach people a lesson. If he decides to go with the most dangerous, it’s definitely going to be a problem.] [Monica: You above me, the olden days are gone. Being punished for your family or relative’s crimes is not something we do now. If someone called me that and insulted my family, I’ll chop her head off. Smile.jpg] [YMGOrder: Frankly, the girl had it hard. The video released earlier was obviously edited with malicious intent. If you take sides too early, you might end up getting a slap on your face. I hereby apologize to him for what I said earlier. Sorry, Jungkook.] Below that particular comment was many more comments that apologized to Jungkook. Other than a few who were still bickering, the common viewers had already sided with Jungkook. The plot twist happened so quickly that it felt like a tornado.

Jungkook

(He pondered.) 💭 Who helped Me?

He grabbed his bag and headed to the night class for the Physics competition.

Min Yoongi

“Jungkook?” (He came up to him from behind with a flattering smile.)

Min Yoongi

“Mathematics class and Physics class are next to each other, and I have a question that I want to ask you. Why don’t I walk you there and you can explain it to me on the way?”

Yoongi action silenced the class, and many of his classmates looked at him strangely. A guy from the competitive Mathematics class asking a boy from the competitive Physics class for help? It was probably the strangest thing that they had ever heard. Yoongi was a well-known Mathematics genius in Second High. The top scorer in the Mathematics exam always belonged to either him or Sunghoon When he said he wanted to ask Jungkook for some advice in Mathematics before, everyone thought he was joking. Who would expect him to do it for real?

Jungkook

(He nodded. he did not mind the request.) “Sure.”

Min Yoongi

(He turned around and said) “Brother Sunghoon, let’s go.”

There were quite some students who joined the competitive Mathematics class, so it was common for a few of them to attend class in a group. The three of them left together. The class finally reverted to the lively atmosphere a while after they left. So-hee stared at the three of their receding silhouettes with a frown on her face. Sunghoon was a cold person, and even though Yoongi was always smiling, he was arrogant. He did that because he wanted to help Jeon. Since Sunghoon did not say anything else too… Buzz. Her phone vibrated.

[Lil Soso, have you seen that video on the internet?]

So-hee knew that the video mentioned was the school’s security footage. The other party continued before she could reply.

[That video has and someone has already started to investigate this matter. This someone is also powerful, so I’ve deleted your email. You should be careful on your side. Don’t leave any trails behind. It’s nothing but trouble if someone traces it back to you.]

Lee So-Hee

She bit her lips. [Thank you, cousin. I understand.]

Lee So-Hee

(A slight pause later, she could not help but ask a question.) [Cousin, who’s investigating this matter?]

Jungkook came from a poor background. By right, he should not have connections to people who had access to the surveillance footage. However, judging from her cousin’s tone, So-hee sensed reverence. It was something she had not seen before.

[Don’t ask. Remember, you have nothing to do with this.]

So-hee was smart enough to leave the topic. She deleted the chat history and some other things on her phone before she finally sighed a breath of relief.

… Principal’s office. A young man in a black suit was sitting on the couch, looking comfortable and laid back, but the blue blood presence was distinct. A man in his fifties sat opposite him, sighing.

Shi Byung hun

“Are you happy now?”

Kim Taehyung shifted his eyes away from his phone and looked at the man. His lips were curled into a grin.

Kim Taehyung

“Thank you, Uncle Shi.”

Shi Byung hun

(He shook his head and asked curiously) “What is with you and this Jungkook? Why are you protecting him?”

He had never heard Taehyung mentioned the boy or girl before. However, because of Jungkook, Kim Taehyung gave him a call and even personally paid him a visit. The second young master of the Kim Family was known for his laid-back and proud personality. He had never seen Kim Taehyung care about someone to this extent. When he got the call from Taehyung, he immediately brought up the surveillance footage and even called his men to do a background check on Jang Jungkook. A senior transfer student from Gyeonggi-do, the stepson of Lee Family. If the Lee Family asked Kim Taehyung for help… However, that was unlikely because the Lee Family was not that influential. Moreover, he saw the footage himself and Jungkook mother’s attitude was more than enough to explain the situation.

Kim Taehyung

(He raised his brows but did not answer the question.)

Jhope

“Second Master Kim.”

The door opened and Jhope came in, waving his phone at Taehyung.

Jhope

“Okay.”

Kim Taehyung

(He nodded.)

Shi Byung hun

(He swept his gaze back and forth at the both of them. ) “What now? Isn’t this over?”

He had a feeling that Kim Taehyung did not plan to stop here.

Jhope

(He said succinctly) “Uncle Shi. The video was taken by a student named Ting Xi in Second High but the one who leaked it…”

Jhope

(He smiled profoundly. ) “Was Lee Family’s precious daughter.”

Shi Byung hun

(He was shocked. ) “So-hee? Are you saying…”

Jhope

“Her cousin, Lee Seung Hyub, had some connections with the media.”

By now, it was clear. Shi Byung-hun went silent for a while

Shi Byung hun

“She has nothing against Jungkook, why would she do it? Is it possible that you’ve got it…”

The last word, ‘wrong’, failed to escape his mouth. Given Jhope methods, he would never get it wrong. However, they were the students of his school. If he exposed them…

Shi Byung hun

“Taehyung, what are you going to do about this?”

Kim Taehyung

( He chuckled.) “It depends on him.” (By ‘him’, he meant Jungkook.)

Shi Byung hun

(He found himself in a difficult position to argue.) “Should I bring him over?”

Kim Taehyung

“That won’t be necessary.” (He looked at his watch.)

Kim Taehyung

“The night self-learning class has started. Let him finish his class.”

It would be better to not disturb a senior-year student’s study. Jhope clicked his tongue. It had always been others who would wait after him, never the other way around. It seemed like the boy was his bane. … 9:00 p.m., class was over. Jungkook kept the papers that he got from song Kang and walked out of the classroom. Right after he walked out, someone called him from behind.

Cho sunghoon

“Jungkook.”

He turned around and saw Sunghoon walking to him with his water bottle.

Cho sunghoon

“You forgot this.”

Before she could take the water bottle, the phone in his pocket suddenly buzzed. he took it out and saw Kim Taehyung name. he hesitated for a while before he answered the phone.

Jungkook

“Second Master Kim?”

Kim Taehyung

“Why didn’t you answer my calls earlier?”

He heard two voices — one from the phone and one from downstairs. Surprised, he looked down and saw a young man looking back at him. He was holding the phone with one hand and pocketed the other. It was dark, and the streetlamp cast a long shadow behind him.

Jungkook

(He blinked and said) “I’ll hang up…’

Taehyung gaze was abysmal as though he could be one with the night. A faint smile appeared on his face.

Kim Taehyung

“I thought I told you to call this number if anything happens.
