Hongik Boys' High School

It was your typical high school with the nerds and the cool guys, the bullied and the bullies, the rich and their "dirt underneath the shoe" counter part- is what one would've said if this was a cliché Netflix highschool movie.

But it wasn't. It was reality. Hongik Boys' High School was supposed to be a normal high school where a bunch of dudes could bond and study and have fun and be weird together.

Keyword, supposed.

Can someone explain why in the actual fuck was Hongik actually like one of your typical high school with the nerds and the cool guys, the bullied and the bullies, the rich and their "dirt underneath the shoe" counter part straight from a Netflix show?

What happened to being normal?

Guess we'll never know.

Despite all that, students are adamant not to leave the school because it does have a great reputation. It is said that Hongik is the magical spell of one's life. If your resume has a mention of Hongik, you are sure to not live a life of unemployment. Thats what they say.

And maybe it's true. Never ever once has anyone seen a Hongik student not being successful.

It is a private school which takes great pride in providing their students the best facilities and honing them in everything. Your child is to come out as a block of gold from this school, they say.

"Block of gold." Sure. Definitely.

Absolute bull crap. Most of the students here are riding onto the high of being the kids of rich parents. And while I am one too, I certainly do not fall under the category of the cool kids.

It's not like I am ugly. It's quite the opposite infact. I am the child of an extremely famous model so my genes made sure to copy my dad's features to the boot.

Then why am I, the good looking son of a rich retired model, now designer, not a part of the cool kids?

I do not know honestly. Or maybe I do.

Maybe it's because of the way I embarassed myself while confessing to the girl I liked and getting rejected, maybe it's because of how I exploded on everyone in that state of embarrassment and anger, maybe it's because of how I got played again by a cat fish and did some embarassing shit to get their attention.

There are so many more maybes. But I am sure, my embarassing past does play a huge role in it.

Oh? You're here? Hey readers!
You all must be wondering just whose embarassing past we are talking about, right?

It's me, Kim Taehyung, son of Kim Taeyoung and Cha Hyuna. Yes, my dad was very creative with his name giving and also put a lot of effort into it, I know.

Want to know a little more about my life? I'll tell you. Ever since I was born, my life had been a sort of a roller coaster. My mom, Cha Hyuna, was a world class alcoholic. She was the heiress of a big hotel chain in Korea but her love for alcohol was far greater I guess. She threw away all that she had worked so hard for.

No one knows why my mother turned to alcoholism. The only thing we do know is that, alcohol had become her life, and also took her life.
