My dormant consciousness awakened.
When I opened my eyes and looked beside me, I saw Pyo Seo-yeon and Moon Bo-min asleep, clinging to my body.
I moved my hand and groped the two women's asses. While feeling their different textures, Pyo Seo-yeon and Moon Bo-min stirred and woke up.
Seeing them open their eyes and awkwardly look at each other, I said:
"Let's shower and grab something to eat."
I took Pyo Seo-yeon and Moon Bo-min with me into the shower. At first, the two women were awkward about showering together, but after I fucked them properly, their awkwardness quickly disappeared.
After showering, I ordered room service and was eating when Park Wan-yong arrived.
"Did you rest well last night?"
"Yeah. What about what we discussed yesterday?"
"There's a large amount of material, so I've prepared everything in the office."
"Then let's go take a look. Bo-min and Seo-yeon, take this and be ready to come running when I call."
I tossed each of them a stack of cash as I spoke.
"Okay."
"Uh... Understood."
Unlike Pyo Seo-yeon, who answered immediately while pocketing the money, Moon Bo-min responded awkwardly.
Looking at Moon Bo-min like that, I said:
"What? Don't want to see me again?"
"No."
"Then come right away when I contact you."
"Yes..."
I left the hotel with Park Wan-yong. I sat in the back seat of the prepared car. And before long, we arrived at a building larger than I'd expected.
"Cheongseong Distribution?"
"It's the building our Cheongseong Group uses."
The car stopped in front of the building, and a man in a suit who'd been waiting there opened the car door.
"Welcome, Chairman."
I gave a slight nod to the gang member who greeted me and entered the company building.
Thugs in black suits stood in straight lines on both sides. And as I entered, they bowed deeply and greeted me loudly.
I looked at Park Wan-yong, who was following behind, and said:
"Don't do this kind of thing from now on. It's not necessary."
"Understood."
I rode the elevator to the top of the Cheongseong Distribution building and arrived at the former Cheongseong Group boss's office.
I briefly looked around the interior and sat in the chair.
"Bring me the documents first."
At my words, Park Wan-yong began bringing over the documents he'd prepared. I slowly read through the papers he brought.
After focusing on the documents for a while, I said to Park Wan-yong:
"First, spread the word to completely cut ties with drugs starting today."
"Then profits will drop significantly and there will be severe backlash. Is that alright?"
"It's not a profit issue. I'm not sure exactly when, but there will be a large-scale drug crackdown within a year."
"At that level, we can handle it by contacting the prosecutors and police we're connected with."
"I'm saying this because it can't be handled with simple bribes. It's connected to the Blue House, so let the guys below know that."
"Understood."
I focused on the documents again. And the more I read, the more I realized the Cheongseong Group was involved in far more than what appeared on the surface.
Before I knew it, I'd finished reading all the documents. Looking at Park Wan-yong who was waiting in front of me, I said:
"Like I said before, handle the drug side as quickly as possible. And look into whether we can acquire the struggling entertainment companies and PaprikaTV."
"Did you say PaprikaTV?"
"Yeah, the internet broadcasting platform."
"Understood."
"Oh. And from now on, change the organization's name from Cheongseong Group to Geumyang Group."
"Also, transfer all the funds I'm holding into my name so I can use them without issue, and since I'll be attending school for a while, only contact me by text unless it's urgent."
"Did you say university?"
"No, I'm a student at Pyunghwa High. I was planning to drop out, but I'll keep attending for now."
"U-understood. Haha..."
"Is that strange?"
"N-no. Haha..."
"And what about the new house you looked into?"
"When you go down later, there will be a dedicated driver to serve you, Chairman. He'll guide you to your new house from now on."
"Good. You've worked hard, and if other executives don't listen, let me know and I'll handle it."
"Yes."
I went up to Park Wan-yong, patted his shoulder, and spoke quietly.
"And if you have anything you're hiding, it's better to speak up quickly."
"Haha... I'll keep that in mind."
"I'll be going now. Keep up the good work."
"I'll escort you down."
Park Wan-yong opened the chairman's office door first. I passed through the opened door and boarded the car waiting below.
Before long, we arrived in front of an expensive-looking mansion. I asked the driver:
"Is this the house the former chairman used?"
"Yes. I roughly cleared out the former chairman's belongings early this morning."
"What about the former Cheongseong Group chairman's family?"
"The former chairman only had one son. That son is currently studying abroad in America."
"Really? What will you do about the son?"
"We've already moved to handle him quietly."
"I see. Good work."
I got out of the car and entered the large mansion. The interior wasn't bad. Perhaps because of the former Cheongseong Group chairman's personal taste? The interior was too flashy.
"I'll have to build a new mansion later."
For now, I decided to live here for the time being. I scanned the interior of the mansion, which felt devoid of any human presence.
I sat on the sofa.
"There's nothing to do..."
I wondered what to do. I considered playing games like kids my age. I just logged into PaprikaTV. After browsing what to watch, I decided to check out this year's female streamers.
There weren't any particularly arousing female streamers. The broadcasts weren't fun or stimulating. Most just wore clothes that showed off their figures and danced sexy dances.
"I still don't understand kids who pour money into places like this."
I don't get what's so great about female streamers who just sit there calling viewers 'oppa' that people throw money at them. In the future, even more suckers will bring their money to female streamers than now.
I was planning to use female streamers to suck money out of those suckers myself.
I closed the PaprikaTV window I'd been casually watching and decided to play some games instead.
A few days passed, and with nothing better to do, I played the game I'd recently gotten into at home, occasionally calling Pyo Seo-yeon or Moon Bo-min over to have fun.
After gaming all through dawn, today was finally the day to go to school.
Even though I stayed up all night, my insane body didn't feel tired at all despite barely sleeping.
I quickly changed into my school uniform and boarded the car waiting outside.
After a short ride, we arrived quickly. As I got out of the car, I saw many students heading to school.
And I saw the name 'Pyunghwa High' written on the school gate. Unlike the word 'peace' in its name, this school ranks in the top 5 worst delinquent schools in the country.
Having returned to the past, the thought of attending again the school I'd always walked through timidly gave me a fresh sense of emotion.
I'd originally planned to drop out, but since I came back to the past, I intended to give back exactly what I'd suffered for one year to those who tormented me, then quit school again.
I moved my frozen feet and entered the school. I headed to where my assigned classroom was.
I stood in front of the classroom door labeled '2nd Year Class B' and opened it. When I opened the door and entered, I saw many students in uniforms making a racket.
And as I entered the classroom, I heard the noisy kids whispering as they looked this way. My physical abilities were good enough to hear everything.
"What the fuck. Who's that? Was there a kid like that in our grade?"
"Dunno. Is he a transfer student?"
"Hey hey. Hye-ji, look over there. He's fucking handsome!"
"Wow. Was there such a good-looking kid at our school?"
"Should I go talk to him?"
"Yeah. With your steamed-bun face, you'll get rejected at the door."
"You fucking bitch?"
Letting the whispering kids' words go in one ear and out the other, as I was about to head to an empty seat, a woman with caked-on makeup and a uniform altered to the limit to cling tightly to her body blocked my path and spoke to me.
"Hi! Are you a transfer student by any chance?"
I looked down at the girl with caked-on makeup asking if I was a transfer student. Her face was familiar.
She was one of the girls who hung out with the bastards who tormented me for four years.
'Was her name Park Min-ju?'
While she kept fussing in front of me, I grabbed Park Min-ju's face and shoved her aside.
"Kyah!"
Park Min-ju fell over with a scream. And at the sight of me doing that, the noisy students in the class fell silent as if they'd made a pact.
And the familiar-faced gang who'd been making noise in the corner by the window came running over, shouting.
"Min-ju!!"
"You fucking brat!"
Seeing Nam Min-gyu running to the fallen Park Min-ju and Kim Hyun-gu cursing as he swung his fist at me, I unconsciously swung my fist back reflexively.
Kim Hyun-gu, who took my swung fist directly to the face, screamed.
"Aack!"
Looking at the suffering Kim Hyun-gu, I said:
"Ah, sorry. I guess I hit you with just a little too much force."
Kim Hyun-gu, writhing in pain, didn't hear my apology. He kept clutching his nose in agony.
And Nam Min-gyu, who'd helped the fallen Park Min-ju up, cursed and charged at me.
"You son of a bitch!"
I deflected his sluggish fist and kicked Nam Min-gyu in the stomach with appropriately controlled force. Nam Min-gyu flew back, collapsed onto Park Min-ju, and fell over again.
Ignoring Nam Min-gyu, I got up from my chair and saw Choi Seong-joon approaching me, greeting him warmly.
"Seong-joon, it's really good to see you."
