XG 124 - A test to see if you are useful

In these new memories, she experienced his first experience of being bullied, which he had retaliated but he was punished by his own parents when the young master's parents complained. After knowing the hardship of his parents, he tried to be empathic by ignoring the bully, reminding himself that his parents also needed to feed their grandparents.

Every time he was beaten by the young master, he would always think that he had the strength to defy, yet the burden of the ugly reality made him weak, killing off his aggression. He could only submissively take the beating and humiliation, just so his parents could protect their jobs that feed their family.

But after his grandparents passed away, he thought maybe his parents would resign and find another job. Then he would finally be free of the bullying. But his father told him to suffer for one more year, as he was too afraid to suffer the hardship of doing lower salary jobs again.

As a son, he remembered their kindness, their love and their worry. He thought he could do many things for his parents, but the pain, humiliation and suffering he experienced easily unbalanced the scale in his heart.

How could he not hate his parents, even for a little bit?

Since then, he grew to have the obsession to have others feel what he felt too, to be suppressed by their own fear. That led to his ability to take shape according to what he desired strongly.

Believing she had seen enough before she witnessed more murder, she forced her conscious to get out only by thought alone, which she successfully did.

She increased her strength around Woojin's throat to grab his attention and dropped another insult while laughing mockingly. "Your parents choose to sacrifice your body to secure the entire family's daily expenses. Don't you ever feel proud of yourself for helping your parents work?"

"You... how did you do it!" The rattled Woojin stared at Wong Xue Guo as if seeing a monster.

The sharp throb of pain in her head cut off her sarcastic laugh and she pushed him until his back hit the floor. "Then what about Teacher Jang? Don't you hate him? A useless teacher that acts concerned about you, but actually never did anything to help you."

Woojin coughed and his pupils shook. His words came out brokenly, "Teacher Jang-"

He hated his own parents, his grandparents, the young master and his heartless parents, but never Teacher Jang.

Teacher Jang was the only one that cared about him and even got himself beaten up to rescue him from that trash. He even went to report to the police, but Woojin's parents intervened and scolded Teacher Jang for minding their family's private business. Teacher Jang tried to get the principal to help out, but the latter had received money from the young master to look away from this case.

What Teacher Jang had done was much more than what his parents had done for him!

"Don't... hurt him..." Woojin's backlash of his ability grew stronger and crumbled his tough front until he lowered himself to beg.

Unable to withstand more of this dizziness from being swarmed by Woojin's emotions, Wong Xue Guo let go and stepped away from him. A set of drums was already playing in her head and she had to spend some effort to stand upright properly.

Grabbing onto her upper arm, Kang Xunsu helped her to stand upright and his face was as dark as a rain cloud. "Are you bloody out of your mind? If you want to torture him, you can do it without touching him."

"I need to touch him..." Wong Xue Guo's words were slurred like a drunk person. She does not know if she would feel this way when drunk, but it should definitely not include headaches.
