4MajorAdmin: Fucking Korea is doomed
That evening.
With one piece of news uploaded to the teenager gang community ‘History of Iljinhoe,’ which had incredible regeneration, high schools nationwide were turned upside down.
The problematic post, which surpassed all previous post records and decorated the community’s main page within 10 minutes of being uploaded, had an overwhelming view count exceeding 1 million and 800,000 likes. Finally, the comments filled up with an overwhelming number, temporarily causing the Hi.O.Il server to crash.
Those who habitually lurked in real-time on this community—where most middle and high school students in South Korea are registered—whether after finishing school, while rolling around at home before going to sleep, or while preparing for school in the morning, had to doubt their eyes at the unbelievable title on the main page.
Respect from model students, reverence from gang members, admiration from other students….
That which makes the hearts of all teenagers of this era flutter. The gathering of nationwide high school gangs, the 4 Major Iljinhoe: Focus, Devil, Choigang, Coup d’état.
Among them, the news of the terminal illness diagnosis of the second-ranked Iljinhoe Devil’s A.P.E.X., the Thousand-Year Prince Gu Haejin…
“Aaaaaaaaaah!”
“Waaaaaaaah….”
“Haejin-nim… Haejin-nim…!!”
The next morning.
Classrooms nationwide were filled with endless wailing cries, while simultaneously, mass destruction occurred to numerous mobile phones, tablets, laptops, computers, and all electronic devices that could connect to the internet due to the shock.
And now.
The place with the most serious repercussions was, of course, the 4 Major Iljinhoe.
***
Focus faction.
202x Year May 30th AM 10:23
Seoul Special City, Gangnam District, Jaerim High School Auditorium.
A total of 50 top executives, including the action leader and district management officers, stood at attention in the auditorium of Jaerim High, the sacred territory of Focus. And on the auditorium stage, sitting alone with his legs crossed on what looked like a throne, was the apex known as the strongest, the first-ranked Focus Apex, the Creator of Cruelty, Kim Pyeonghwa.
Kim Pyeonghwa’s face was so ferocious that observers could barely breathe, and today it looked scarier than ever before.
“Play it.”
At the brief command, Jin Jaeyoung—the second-most influential person in Focus, the Number Two and Kim Pyeonghwa’s right-hand man, who had been standing like a bodyguard behind Kim Pyeonghwa’s chair without the slightest hint of disarray—touched the screen of the tablet in his hand with an economical motion.
Then, the quiet auditorium was filled with a single voice.
‘The Devil Apex… won’t live and will die.’
‘He can’t be terminally ill!’
‘Jung Ion, am I going to die?’
“……”
The audio continued for about 5 minutes before ending. Between the static noise, the conversation between Devil’s Number Two and Apex Gu Haejin could be heard clearly. A vivid recording accompanied by murmurs and crying sounds that was impossible to believe was a lie…
Even after the audio ended, Pyeonghwa showed no reaction, maintaining the same posture with his chin resting obliquely on his hand on the armrest. The Focus executives trembled even more in fear at his appearance, like the calm before a storm.
‘Am I going to die?’
‘Thanks for letting me rely on you… whimpering.’
Finally, the fact of Gu Haejin’s terminal illness was revealed to the world.
Haejin’s recorded voice, seeming to have given up on everything regarding death, and the voice of Haejin expressing gratitude affectionately before leaving Pyeonghwa’s house a few days ago, kept repeating in Pyeonghwa’s mind. He who had desperately shouted to the gang members that it wasn’t true—his voice alone made him look miserable.
At that moment, a gang executive in the middle row stepped forward, thinking he should clear the dark atmosphere.
“Ahaha! It’s unfortunate that Gu Haejin ended up like that, but with this, Devil is finished too! With their Apex diagnosed as terminally ill, can Devil maintain its second-ranked position?”
What the fuck is this bastard saying?!
At the tactless executive’s remark, the other gang members momentarily thought, ‘Oh no!’ Then they all looked back and forth between Apex Pyeonghwa and the gang member with anxious faces. The high-ranking executives, including Number Two Jin Jaeyoung, who had frozen coldly. Fuck. Stop it, you crazy bastard! Some people nearby tapped him and gestured for him to shut up, but unfortunately, the gang member knew very well how to hasten his own demise.
“Now, there’s no Iljinhoe that can stop Apex Pyeonghwa and Focus…!”
THWACK!
……!!
Thwack…. It wasn’t just a thud, but a full-blown THWACK.
Pyeonghwa, who had said nothing until now, approached as fast as the wind and punched the executive gang member in the face. The other executives’ faces turned pale white at the sight of that executive falling without even being able to cry out. The terrifying appearance of the Apex, exuding murderous intent. This wasn’t the Kim Pyeonghwa who always casually trampled his opponents as if playing with them whenever he fought.
Right now, he had completely lost his mind.
Pyeonghwa raised his leg high and mercilessly struck down on the back of the gang member who couldn’t come to his senses. The gang member coughed up blood and fell face-first on the floor. Regardless, Pyeonghwa stomped on his face once more with his foot, cruelly crushing him.
Thud! Thud!! Terrible rupturing sounds echoed throughout the auditorium again and again. Pyeonghwa began to beat the gang member like a madman. As if he didn’t care if he killed him.
We should stop him. I want to stop him. But my body won’t move.
The gang member who had already opened his mouth was little different from a half-dead person. His body had stiffened and wouldn’t move.
“Apex… please stop.”
“Haah….”
Number Two Jin Jaeyoung grabbed Pyeonghwa’s shoulder with a fearful hand. Pyeonghwa, who had the stamina to remain unscathed even when fighting dozens of people, was rarely seen gasping for breath as if tired. No, rather than tired, it would be more accurate to say he was excessively excited.
“This fucking bastard, expel him.”
Pyeonghwa left the auditorium after leaving just those words.
It was, as if, a desperate level of anger.
