“Okay. I get it.”

Sanghoon instantly nodded his head. 

Sanghee and Namwook looked at Sanghoon’s face appalled. 

“Hey, Yoo Sanghoo!”

Sanghee abandoned her calm demeanor and shouted. 

Namwook turned his appalled face from Sanghoon to Sanghee.

“I am going to follow what Eushin said.”

“What, are you crazy? Did you forget that you nearly died?”

Despite Sanghee’s fierce convincing Sanghoon continued to look at me and said.

“You better explain so that everyone can understand, Jo Euishin.”

With that, everyone’s attention fell on me. 

Perhaps Sanghoon had read my mind or decided to believe in everything I had said I wasn’t sure but I decided to speak up. 

“Son Minki is being treated like a hero. At our expense, where we are being treated as his sidelined props. Which isn’t false.”

Son Minki had lost his right arm and leg from the item I had thrown. 

He had gained public attention by appealing himself as a hero in an interview for having thrown himself to save his friend. 

Right now, Minki would appear as the main protagonist in a young boy’s heroic tale. 

“Even if we serve as witnesses it would only make us look like we’re trying to defame him out of jealousy since minki is a star. After all, we’re too fully attached compared to Minki who lost his limbs.”

The objective of the Player’s association was to “suppress enemies” and “protect its players”. 

To them, they had no reason or right to stand up for secondary students who were unregistered association members and not even considered formal players.

That day the reason Gyubin visited me was due to a link between the unregistered player and the wanted enemy. 

“It’s a dilemma for Hwangmyeong corporation to make a move.”

Just as much as Minki was the center of attention, the security matter of Eunkwang high that was run by Hwangmyeong corporation was equally drawing attention. 

Some of the players and members of the press shared the view that ‘They are lucky to be unscathed and dissolving the problem with minor interference when they were against the Jin group’.

As for the rest of the world, the only impression left was that a secondary student who had been on his way to the entrance exam of Korea’s most elite and difficult high school had nearly died. 

“Fortunately a warrant was issued and the investigation went smoothly and they were able to obtain necessary evidence. However, Son Minki is a secondary student. In the face of the Jin family, he is just a secondary schoolboy who pulled off a deranged act. In court, as long as he puts up an act of repentance, even if he found guilty, he will be let off with merely a probation.”

Even if this decision was to cause an uproar, this was the reality in Korea. 

Where teenager’s rights help to prioritize the assaulter over the victim.

For teenagers even if they were the assaulter, they could easily hide behind the shield of pity and young age. 

If the assaulter was born with a gold spoon they often used the press to their advantage.
