Traveling back in time to take care of Sung Deok-sun

Chapter 58 Terrifying Memories

Shuangmen High School.

Sunwoo, Jung-hwan, and Dong-ryong rushed to the classroom, only to be startled by the ringing bell as soon as they sat down.

"That's strange? Why isn't Shuyu in front of us?" Shanyu looked around while holding the book, but didn't see Liu Shuyu. He scratched his head in confusion.

"Huh?" The salamander was also puzzled.

"Never mind him, it's probably that idiot Sung Deok-sun who dragged him down!" Jung-hwan said astutely.

"Bang~~!"

The door opened, and a person stood in the doorway, covered in sweat.

Who else could he be but Liu Shuyu?

"Shuyu, come here quickly, the teacher is here~~!" Shanyu and the dollfish called out.

Zheng Huan quickly peeked behind the door and waved to Liu Shuyu.

Well, Liu Shuyu's day of studying begins with being late...

......

At Ssangmun Girls' High School, Deok-sun stared blankly at the teacher's lecture on the stage, listless all morning.

"Hey~? Sung Deok-sun?" Jang Mi-ok called out.

"Huh?" Deok-sun weakly propped her chin up with her hand and turned to look.

"Do you want to go to university or not?" Zhang Meiyu bluntly struck at Deshan's heart.

"What nonsense! Of course I want to go to university!" Deok-sun suddenly sat up, not forgetting to wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth.

"Hey, Deok-sun!"

"Judging from how you're completely deaf to reason, it might be difficult for you to get into university..." Wang Zixian's voice was softer than Zhang Meiyu's, but every word she spoke hit Deshan right where it hurt.

Deok-sun's hard-won determination to cheer up was immediately crushed by Wang Zixian, causing her to collapse, her mouth drooping, and her face full of confusion.

......

"I want to go to university!"

The next day, Deok-sun finally made a decision that caught the attention of the whole family, shouting it out loud while holding up her spoon at breakfast.

In an instant, Bora's mother stared at her and forgot to chew. Yu Hui's hand, holding a mouthful of food, froze in the middle. Bora was so surprised that she turned around and gave Deok-sun a deep look, then rolled her eyes slightly.

"You crazy brat!" Even Bora's father thought Deok-sun had suddenly gone crazy today, but then he changed the subject and said...

"But that sounds pretty nice!"

"I'm going to start learning today!"

"Let me have extra lessons too!"

Deok-sun still held the spoon, as if she were taking a major academic oath at breakfast...

"What kind of extra lessons?!" Paula's father said, swallowing a mouthful of rice.

Deok-sun turned to look at her father, staring at him expressionlessly.

Paula's father, feeling a little guilty, quickly said, "Don't you have an older sister who's studying at Seoul National University?"

Why waste money on useless things?!

"Learn from my older sister!"

Paula's father said irritably, then lowered his head to eat, feeling a little guilty. It was still because they didn't have enough money; otherwise, they wouldn't be so stingy about even paying for their child's tutoring...

Upon hearing this, Deok-sun turned to look at her older sister Bora, who was eating, with a serious expression, a memory suddenly flashing through her mind...

Three years ago, in the house, Deok-sun, who had two braids, and Bora, who had two braids, sat cross-legged at a small table.

Bora lowered her head and wrote a few math problems. After finishing, she handed them directly to Deok-sun and watched her while supporting herself with her hand.

Deok-sun glanced at her older sister cautiously.

“Move the item,” Paula said calmly.

Deok-sun glanced at her older sister cautiously, then lowered her head and picked up a pen with a bewildered expression.

Then Bora saw Deok-sun look up at her, shaking her head blankly.

"Move everything except X to the right!" Paula, though still patient, was speechless at her sister's ingenuity and raised her voice even louder.

"Oh~~" Deok-sun's clear eyes darted around for a moment before she buried her head in her writing.

While writing, he kept glancing at Paula's expression.

"Sigh~~ I really~~" Bora looked at what Deok-sun had written and was completely stunned.

When Deok-sun noticed her sister's strange expression, she immediately snapped to attention, changed the minus sign she had just written to a plus sign, and then looked at her sister Bora with a confused expression.

"Are you sure?" Bora glanced at Deok-sun and asked calmly. She had been wrong before, but now things were even more outrageous.

Deok-sun became unconsciously afraid when she saw her sister, thinking that her sister was dissatisfied again. She quickly and "cleverly" erased the plus sign and wrote a minus sign instead. Then she looked up at her sister Bora expectantly.

"Hey! You idiot!"

Did I say that if it was moved to the side, a minus sign should be added?

Paula was furious when she saw Deoksun doing her homework like she was playing the lottery, and she hadn't learned a single thing from what she was taught.

"I did say that~" Deok-sun replied weakly to Bora's question.

How many times do I have to say it?! How many times?!

Is your brain made of a water ladle?

"This is a question from the first year of junior high! And it's from the first semester of junior high!"

Even a blockhead will eventually get a clue!

"How can you not even know this!"

Bora completely erupted, her rapid-fire words startling Deok-sun so much that she froze in her original position, too afraid to move.

"Your attitude towards learning is terrible!"

"Everything is just a game!"

"You're never serious!"

"Your eyes look lifeless all day!"

Bora, sitting back with her hands outstretched, looked at Deok-sun and started talking about her, mentioning that Deok-sun's eyes were always lifeless. Deok-sun, unconvinced, widened her eyes to show that hers were bright...

Paula was so angry she laughed and rolled her eyes.

"Go ahead and study like this, it's so reckless!"

"You should always concentrate! Concentrate!"

"If you're not smart enough, you should try harder!"

Is life really that simple?

"You think life is particularly indifferent, don't you?"

"That thing stuck to your neck! Your head!"

What are you doing with it?!

"Don't just use it for hair dryers, you should use it when you're studying too!"

Use your brain! Use your brain!

Even someone with a head of stone can carry it, right?

"Can't you just memorize it by rote?"

"Don't you know that?! You chicken-headed idiot! (A common Korean expression used to describe someone as stupid)"

"..."

Deok-sun, lost in her memories, vividly recalled Bora's menacing face when she tutored her three years ago. She shook her head twice, forcefully dispelling the images from her mind...

Deok-sun swallowed hard, looking at Paula as if waking from a dream, and said with a determined expression:

"Unless I die, I absolutely will not learn from my sister! I want to go to the reading room!"

“Mom, her problem is concentration; she can’t sit at her desk for more than ten minutes,” Paula said while eating.

"I've never even seen my second sister sitting at her desk!" Yu Hui added mercilessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he sensed a murderous aura. Yu Hui looked up and saw his second sister, Deok-sun, staring at him. He was so frightened that he lowered his head and silently ate his food, not daring to utter another word...
