When God Made Me Chapter 3

At the unexpected voices, Seung-ho hid behind the bed and held his breath.

‘Bed? What school has a bed?’

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Seung-ho could not have known that the springs in the bed had broken after a rather large student had laid on it, and had been stored in the lab ever since.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Two silhouettes entered the science lab. When Seung-ho listened, he could tell that one was a boy and the other a girl. They even locked the door. Something weird was going on.

“They said ghosts appear here.”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“It’s okay. I’ve been here a few times, and nothing’s happened.”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Really?”

The two sat on the chairs in the front of the room. Seung-ho tried to heave a sigh of relief, but let out a “Hup!” and covered his mouth. Thankfully, the two students didn’t seem to have heard him.

“But with who’d you come?”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Ah, w-with the guys?”

“Why are you embarra.s.sed?”

“I-I’m not?”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

The dark silhouettes drew closer and closer. Seung-ho thought that they would be sitting next to each other, but now that looked closer, it looked like the girl was sitting on the boy’s knees.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Do people not come here?”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Of course. It’s okay even if they did because the door is locked.”

As Seung-ho slowly got used to the dark, he started seeing them better. The details weren’t clear, but he could see better than before.

“Do you know it’s been awhile since we’ve done it?”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“It’s only been a week.” 

The girl flicked the guy on the forehead with a finger. Seung-ho gulped unconsciously. Things were going in the complete opposite direction than what he first expected.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

‘Are they seriously doing it here?’

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

As if reading Seung-ho’s mind, the two smashed their lips together.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

They weren’t merely smas.h.i.+ng their lips together, no. Like snakes, they were sticking out their tongues and rubbing, biting, and sucking each other like there was no tomorrow. Seeing such a scene in person for the first time in his life, his blood began rus.h.i.+ng downwards. 

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

‘The f.u.c.k am I in this situation?’

A sense of defeat and shame filled him simultaneously. Some were having a sucking and biting relations.h.i.+p in their high-school youth, and some were hiding in a lab so they wouldn’t get beaten up by bullies.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Huggh..”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

The two began to kiss even more fervently. The boy’s hand alighted on the girl’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Suddenly, the guy got up from his seat while holding the girl up. Their kiss hadn’t stopped all the while.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

And then they were steadily making their way towards Seung-ho.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

‘W-what? Did I get caught?’

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Seung-ho squeezed his eyes shut in fear, like always.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Boom.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

‘Huh?’

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

In response to the unexpected sound, Seung-ho slowly opened his eyes. The two students were tangled with each other right in front of his eyes.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Energy flowed beneath his belt. At the same time, he recalled the numerous files he’d seen at home.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Students_in_highschool.avi.

If he filed it, it’d go viral.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Even if he didn’t circulate it on the Internet, there was a lot of value in owning the video, especially since they were students at his high school.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

He stealthily took his phone out from his pocket, being careful just in case he was heard; he then entered the camera app.

“Haa.”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

The two were entangling their bodies with each other. Seung-ho tried to witness this sight with his own eyes and capture it on camera at the same time. 

The cellphone screen started to show the two on the screen. Now he just had to press the b.u.t.ton to start recording.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

‘Hoo.’

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

With shaking hands, he pressed the video recording b.u.t.ton.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Look over here! Ding-Dong!”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

The male and female student on the bed and Choi Seung-ho all froze in tandem. 

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

‘Ah, I forgot that recording videos makes a noise.’

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“W-who’s there!”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Aack!”

The guy hesitantly got up from the bed, and the girl buried her face in her knees. So what did Seung-ho need to do now?

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“S-sorry!”

He headed towards the doors faster than he’d run away from the bullies. With the speed of light, he unlocked the doors and slipped out.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Running without looking back, he went down the stairs to the second floor and back into the cla.s.sroom.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Ha… Ha…”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

He returned to his seat and collected his breath.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

‘Wow, I almost got caught and buried at school as a voyeur!’

Sprawled over his desk due to exhaustion, Seung-ho felt a powerful swipe on the back of his head without any warning.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Hey, you son of a b.i.t.c.h!”

Screaming ‘oh s.h.i.+t!’ in his mind, he slowly raised his head.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

It was them. The bullies who sit right behind Seung-ho. They had apparently finished lunch and were waiting in the cla.s.sroom since who knows when. 

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“You dare to run away?”

One of them harshly hit Seung-ho’s arm. It was somewhere he got hit often, but it hurt every time; even if it was at the point where he might start getting calluses there soon. 

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Impertinent Ug-Face.”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Soon after, the other guy’s hand exploded across the back of Seung-ho’s head. There was so much strength behind it that Seung-ho’s head slammed into the desk.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Boom

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

‘Ow, that hurts.’

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

A translucent pane rose before his eyes.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

QUEST FAILED
You were caught before the break ended. 

As if making fun of Seung-ho, who was currently getting beaten up, the spiteful pane had appeared. Hah, why did it have to give him that kind of quest…

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Ding-Dong

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

After getting battered for quite some time, the bell rang. Having been pulverized for nigh on 30 minutes, his whole body had become one giant bruise. Seung-ho got up from the cla.s.sroom floor, brushed himself off, and sat down at his desk with quiet dignity. 

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Watch yourself.”

“Y-yeah.”

This was something that happened so often that his feelings weren’t hurt anymore. How should he say it - it was like he’d gotten used to it.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

‘Still, at least I completed one quest.’

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Seung-ho had 7 points left. Next period would decide if the man he’d met yesterday was a d.a.m.ned G.o.d, or if it’d been a dream.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“You want to measure your height?”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Yeah.”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

With a pounding heart, Seung-ho stood atop the testing apparatus. When the b.u.t.ton was pushed, the measuring stick came down and gently pressed on his head.

He was more nervous than he’d been waiting for the result of the final exam; this had the potential to change his life.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Wow, 168 cm. You’ve grown a lot, eh?”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

The school doctor gave a “Wow~” in admiration as if she was marveling at the height. Seung-ho felt proud for some unknown reason; at the same time, he was filled with bliss.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

‘It’s real. This is real.’

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Seung-ho grinned and nodded.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Doctor, this isn’t a dream, right?”

Even from a medical professional's standpoint, the school physician found it hard to honestly meet the eyes of such an ugly kid grinning like that.

‘I have to endure it because it’s my job.’

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

The physician smiled right away and answered.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Does it look like a dream? Anyway, don’t you have to get going now?”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

‘Please, just go.’

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Seung-ho nodded and bowed from his waist.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Yes, thank you. Goodbye!”

Watching Seung-ho leave after politely bidding farewell, the doctor tsked. 

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

“Whew, he’d be such a kind and good kid if he wasn’t so ugly.”

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Seung-ho had no notion of whether or not the doctor was having those types of thoughts. Currently, a sense of exhilaration, expectancy, accomplishment, and other joyful emotions were br.i.m.m.i.n.g in him.

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

‘That guy from yesterday was really a G.o.d. That means I really can change!’

At the same time, the man’s other words sprung up in his mind. How ugly must he be to hear that he was ugly 10,000 times? Until now, he’d been shameful and anguished that he’d been born just to live like this, but not anymore. He could change.

‘I have hope, now.’

Property of pathoftranslation.com.

Buoyant with expectations, he went back into the cla.s.sroom.
