In the sacred school

Episode 1

“Teacher, I was really wrong.”

Se-ah let out a low sigh as she looked at Mokyeon . who came in front of her and was shedding tears.

The two were Korean language teachers at Suyeong High School here.

Mokyeon is twenty-four this year. Se-ah is six years older than him. Se-ah also started working here right after graduating from college, so it’s been six years now.

“Can you spare me just this once?”

Mokyeon bowed his head deeply.

“What should I do with Teacher Jin? Why? What do you want?”

The first time se-ah met mokyeon was when she became her first homeroom teacher. Mokyeon was a student in se-ah’s class. And in her 6 years as a teacher, you are the student who caused the most trouble and the most problems for se-ah.

I Never thought I would meet her as a teacher in the same department, and even as a teacher in charge of the same grade.

“Youre a full-time teacher . but I’m still a temporary worker. If this mistake gets known. I might get fired . If you could do something about it, teacher.”

So, you want me to take responsibility for all the mistakes Teacher Jin made?

Mokyeon bowed his head at se-ah’s question.

Mokyeon was a Korean teacher but he did not know anything. Even though Se-ah taught her everything from A to Z and even made lesson plans herself and told him to follow them, he always made one or two mistakes.

Then, in this exam as well, the content of the exam questions was taught backwards, which caused the students who took that class to get the questions wrong.

Originally, it was right for Se-ah and Makyeon to share responsibility for the exam. Even if Se-ah had done nothing wrong. It was only because they were in charge of the same grade.

However, Mokyeon wanted Se-ah to take the lead and take responsibility for everything.

“If I don’t do it right this time and get kicked out, I’m going to get my legs broken at home.”

Sea closed her eyes tightly

It wasn’t just Mokyeon who was a troublemaker. Se-ah felt it deeply when she became Mokyeons homeschool teacher for the first time how great his parents were.

If Mokyeon was harmed or did anything wrong in class, her mother would rush over and burn down the teachers office. First-year teacher Se-ah was dragged to the principal’s office and scolded countless times for creating unnecessary conflicts.

However, that doesn’t mean that Mokyeon’s mother always protected Mokyeon. There was a day when she beat Mokyeon’s cheek until it swelled up because he failed a midterm exam, and Se-ah had to meet her separately to comfort her as she cried.

“You know, my mother. It’s a miracle that I was even given a temporary position at this school. If I don’t get rehired next year, I’ll be in big trouble. Please, teacher, save me. Okay?”

Se-ah, who was looking at Mokyeon rubbing her hands together again, closed her eyes tightly once again and opened them.

Yes, Mokyeon was Se-ah’s student. He bullied her a lot. but thanks to him, Se-ah also grew.

And in the end, he even brought a gift. Along with a handwritten letter.

“Then let me make one promise, teacher.”

After saying that, Se-ah looked straight at Mokyeon.

“From now on, I will prepare my classes more thoroughly. And I will mentor you before and after class. A teacher has to risk his life teaching. That’s how l make a living.”

Se-ah held Mokyeon’s two hands tightly.

Can you promise me that?”

“Of course! I will do my best.”

” Yes, it’s my first year. I wasn’t at that level., but if I start learning properly from now on, it’s not impossible I’ll teach well.”

Se-ah thought like that and let go of Mokyeon’s hand.

“If you promise me that, I’ll take responsibility for this. So get your mind straight, okay?”

“Yes, teacher, thank you. As expected, you are teacher Han Se-ah. My favorite teacher!”

Se-ah pushed Mok-yeon away from her, who was trying to hug her, and stood up.

“Oh my, my back already hurts. How much more nagging do I have to endure?”

Se-ah shook her head and went to the bathroom. Her mouth suddenly felt dry and her stomach felt nauseous.

At that moment dongjun was making coffee in the break room and he smiled when he saw se-ah coming.

Dongiun was a social studies teacher, and he had been dating se-ah for a year . He was also the son of the school principal.

“What’s going on?”

“Ha because of Teacher jin Mok-yeon.”

As she said that se-ah took out a cup of her name from the cupboard and held it out to dongjun. Then Dongjun, in a familiar manner, poured the freshly brewed coffee into Se-ah’s cup first.

“Why? Teacher Jin Mokyeon is making things difficult for you again?

“That kind of thing happens.He is a junior teacher. so I have to teach him well.”

Se-ah turned her head slightly and looked at Dongjun. He was pouring himself a new cup of coffee.

“Yeah. I know. He was a student in my class too. I guess it’s because I’m a small-minded person.”

Se-ah didn’t want Dongjun, who was her boyfriend but a teacher from another department. to see Mokyeon’s bad reputation, so she only said that.

But Dongjun continued talking.

“If your bowl is small. you should think about growing it. How can you gossip about your junior teacher?

And the kid who was your homeroom student has become such a respectable teacher.”

Se-ah gathered her eyebrows together.

Dongjun’s characteristic was that he rarely said the wrong thing. But that was why he was often so annoying.

“Ha, oppa, i know i know But can’t you take my side in times like this? As a social studies teacher. You’re really fair and just some times”

At Se-ah’s words. Dong-jun lightly wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

“I’m telling you this for your own good. I want you to be the best teacher you can be.”

” Okay. Let go. Someone else came in.”

Sea lightly shook Dongjun off.

The two were still secretly dating. Even their father, the principal, was unaware of this.

“Oh. by the way. I heard the chairman is changing.”

Dongjun poured the coffee he had made into her tumblr as he listened to Se-ah’s words.

” Yeah. I don’t know what’s going on after being sold to the jungwoon group. They are trying to run the school like a business. The person who is coming this time, the owner, is a human but he doesn’t even have a teaching licence.”

The school was recently sold to the conglomerate Jungwoon Group due to the foundation’s reckless use of funds. Then. rumors began to spread that Jungwoon Group was carrying out major reforms.

At the mention of the Jungwoon Group, Se-ah’s eyebrows furrowed.

Why? Jeongwoon Group?

“huh?”

“No”

Se-ah shook her head.

“So that guy without a teaching license is the owner? What kind of person is he? Do you know anything specific”

“That’s all I know. My father doesn’t tell me.”

At that moment, another teacher came in and the two people’s conversation was interrupted. After that Dongjun greeted them first and left. Se-ah also slowly left the break room with her coffee in her hand.

Sea stood still in the hallway.

It was midterms week, so all the students had gone home and there was no one in the hallway. As se-ah stood in the quiet hallway, a voice suddenly rang in her head.

-Can we do this here?

– There is nothing that cannot be done.

Sea closed her eyes.

It’s a memory I should forget. I don’t have that person in my heart anymore.

‘That’s not him. He’s going to go to a company. It doesn’t make sense for him to come to the school as the chairman. We are just in the same group. so there’s no point where we meet.’

Sea opened her eyes and let out a light sigh.

As she walked a few more steps. She felt a presence next to her. Could it be Dongjun? She glanced over and saw that the clothes Dongjun was wearing a little while ago were not the same ones.

A stiff suit.

Se-ah who had raised her eyes, let out a long breath of relief without realizing it.

“What are you so surprised about?”

The man standing there smiling and looking at her was Principal Lee Sang-tae. Dong-jun’s father and the principal of this school.

“Hello. principal.”

As Se-ah bowed. she suddenly remembered that she had told Mokyeon that she would take responsibility for

everything. What she meant was that she would apologize to the principal and vice principal on Mokyeon’s behalf and willingly accept the reprimand.

“Haha. we’re lucky to have met. Are you now free?

at his words, Se-ah moved her face slightly. Where did she hear that? That she had a serious accident.

“Yes, now is the time.”

“A distinguished guest has arrived. Come to the principal’s office. You look very pretty.”

As he said that. he walked to the principal’s office first, stumbling.

Se-ah looked at his back. brushed her chest. and then hardened her face again.

‘It seems like you still don’t know that I had an accident. Are you asking me to act as your secretary since I came here dressed up nicely?’

But se-ah had no choice but to do what the principal told her to do. And that too, since she was in a position where she would soon have to ask for forgiveness.

Sea brought the coffee she couldn’t drink to the teachers room and quickly went to the principal’s office

“Oh. Mr. Han. Please bring me two cups of coffee.”

As Se-ah entered, Sangtae raised his hand and spoke. The other man only showed the back of his head.

“I’m done with coffee.”

However, The guest’s voice was too young to be considered the principal’s guest.

Soft bass. As if I’ve heard it somewhere.

“I just came today to say hello briefly.”

Se-ah stepped inside without realizing it

And she saw him.

The boy who had been wearing a school uniform was now a young man in a high-quality tailored suit, and he was right in front of her. More than ten years had passed, but somehow the passage of time seemed to have left its mark only on Se-ah. and his white skin was spotless.

The tight suit that covered his body and his chest and shoulders that filled the suit. He was wearing a crisp suit without a single wrinkle. and he was shining just like back then.

He stood up from his seat.

Ttukbuk.

His body came closer.

“You are a teacher at this school.”

The corners of the man’s mouth rose gently.

Holy. He is the grandson of the current chairman of the Jungwoon Group. and was active in student council activities with Se-ah more than ten years ago.

And Se-ah’s first kiss.

He extended his long, white finger to Se-ah.

“Nice to meet you. I am the new CEO, Shin Ho. I look forward to work with you

in the future.”

Se-ah looked at seonghans hands with hardened eyes. Just like his face, his hands, untouched by time, looked strong, straight, and wrinkle free, just like that day.
