Chapter 2 Chapter 2: People Who Have Arrived in the Kingdom of Shadows

(1) Everyone looked at Youzhen with strange eyes, and Youzhen walked slowly towards her seat. Their eyes were the same as the eyes they usually see when she is late. Youzhen looked into the classroom, Junxiang's seat was empty, and Youzhen suddenly seemed to have something pressing on her heart Seems like it, but Youzhen still suppressed it and pretended nothing happened to look at Cailin, who lay on the table and sobbed. Youzhen approached Cailin and asked her what was wrong, Xianghe and Yongguo lowered their heads to avoid Youzhen's gaze. Junjunxiang, Junxiang, he is dead! Jin Shu cried and opened the door behind the classroom.

Youzhen felt that it was just a joke, and that they had gone too far when they joked, but for some reason, an unspeakable feeling came to her heart. She recalled that she waited until dark at the place agreed with Junxiang yesterday, but Junxiang always What didn't happen, my whole body suddenly seemed to lose all strength. What I said is true!car accident he had a car accident Cailin spoke excitedly, and Youzhen, who was pale, couldn't speak, dropped the purse in her hand to the ground, and then ran outside as if she lost her mind. Xianghe rushed out and caught Youzhen. Youzhen thought that she had to go to the place agreed with Junxiang. This is impossible, they must have heard it wrong.But it was only one night, just a few hours, and Junxiang died like this, but in the short time from late night to early morning, how could such absurd thing happen?

All of Youzhen's thoughts were tightly grasped by Xianghe, and her mood was so messed up that she couldn't calm down. no!I must go!Junxiang has something to tell me, Junxiang and I promised that we will never forget him for the rest of our lives, but now I can’t remember Junxiang’s face, I can’t remember Xianghe at all, what should I do Seeing Youzhen like this, Xianghe couldn't bear it.He couldn't believe that Junxiang was dead, and Youzhen said excitedly that she was going to see Junxiang. In front of such Youzhen, Xianghe didn't know what he could do for Youzhen, except to hold on tightly Living outside of Youzhen, Xianghe kept looking at Youzhen, but Youzhen didn't even look at Xianghe.

Xianghe, whose lips were trembling slightly, turned his head away, let go of Youzhen's hand, and Youzhen slid down in a daze. Xianghe, this is a dream, right?Everyone is fine, but suddenly one person disappeared like this, do you believe it? Junxiang, Junxiang Youzhen cried until she lost her voice. On the day of Junxiang's funeral, Youzhen, who couldn't make it to Seoul to attend the funeral, and other classmates held a funeral for Junxiang by the lake in Chuncheon.There seemed to be something at the funeral, but no one had what he left behind.Junxiang left nothing and just disappeared without a sound, as if he had never existed in this world. He left them without leaving anything and went to a far away place like this.

Zhenshu looked at the sky, Yongguo opened the leather bag and took out a blank paper with nothing written on it, recalling the days spent with Junxiang, and prepared to burn the paper.They put the white paper into the fire, and the paper burned up and fell down, Jiang Junxiang, you can leave with peace of mind!Leave with peace of mind!Jiang Junxiang and his group stood by the lake and kept calling Junxiang's name.Everyone's reflections were reflected in the setting sun. This was the last time to send Junxiang off. Everyone stayed there and did not leave.Cailin walked towards Youzhen and said:

How can you be so cruel?I heard that Junxiang had a car accident on the way to see you, but how can you be so strong and not shed a single tear? Cailin couldn't control her emotions, so she questioned Youzhen so fiercely, but Youzhen didn't respond at all. Youzhen still couldn't believe the fact that Junxiang had died. No matter how much Cailin blamed her, she was like Like a stone, there was no expression at all.No one could understand what Youzhen was thinking in her heart. Youzhen called Junxiang's name softly, but she didn't hear Junxiang's response. Youzhen, who buried Junxiang deeply in her heart, never At that moment, I began to accept the fact that I could only call Junxiang in my heart.No one knows the feeling of Youzhen calling Junxiang's name thousands of times in her heart.

Junxiang, I know you haven't left me, right?Please speak!Junxiang, no matter if you just leave me without saying a word, please don’t keep talking, I’m not trying to forget you Sang-hyuk, who was sending You-jin home, suddenly asked if it was okay if You-jin was alone, and You-jin just nodded slowly. Youzhen, cry, I'd rather see you cry, so that you can forget Junxiang! What did you say?Can you forget Junxiang if you cry?No, it's not like that, I have already hidden Junxiang deeply in my heart, if I cry, Junxiang will also cry with sadness, I can't let the dead Junxiang cry.

Youzhen watched Xianghe thinking so in her heart, and smiled coldly at Xianghe. After watching Xianghe leave, Youzhen walked towards the empty house with heavy steps. After taking a deep breath to suppress the emotion that was about to cry, Youzhen pressed the button of the electric bell in her room. Youzhen saw a small package on the desk.Youzhen looked at the package without the sender written on it and slowly opened the wrapping paper.It's a tape.Youzhen put it in the tape recorder, and the music of a piano spread in the room. It was a piece called "The First Time" that Junxiang played to her before.Youzhen sat on the chair and listened to the piece without moving. She thought she would never hear Junxiang's piece again.But now Youzhen heard it again.

The day Junxiang played the piano to me seemed like it happened yesterday, his figure was imprinted in my mind very clearly, but now I actually said that Junxiang is gone, that he is dead and not in this world Now, I will never see him again. While listening to "The First Time", Youzhen met Junxiang in her memory. His voice, smile, and first kiss were always the same. The position guarding Youzhen, Junxiang who told Youzhen that if you get lost, you just need to find the North Star is no longer there. For Youzhen at that time, the Polaris seemed to have disappeared, and Youzhen's heart was tightly oppressed by unbearable sadness.

Youzhen, although it is a bit late, I still wish you a Merry Christmas, this is a Christmas gift for you, be happy! When the piano piece was coming to an end, Junxiang's voice came from the radio.Why did it become like this? The unstoppable tears on Youzhen's face kept falling, and Youzhen didn't wipe them off, letting the tears flow, sitting on the chair like a stone, Youzhen felt so painful, her heart was in intense pain torn. Junxiang, Junxiang!Are you really not by my side anymore?Will you forget me?Have you really reached heaven? In Chuncheon, houses like matchboxes are lined up neatly one by one.A female student ran forward in a daze, her schoolbag and painting utensils wobbling with the pace of running, she stopped when she noticed a male student in front of her.

Xiang Hyuk, Jin Xiang Hyuk! Xianghe heard someone calling his name, so he turned around and faced the female student, urging her to come over quickly by shaking his hand, the female student standing in front of Xianghe, panting, was Youzhen.Known as the late king, she actually looked at her watch and urged Xianghe. The bus had arrived at the bus stop and was about to leave. The two of them rushed forward and managed to squeeze onto the bus. When they stepped into the steamer-like bus, Youzhen turned around with difficulty, only to find that Xianghe hadn't squeezed in.Xianghe, who pushed Youzhen into the bus first, said to Youzhen whose face was squeezed against the glass door of the bus: Don't doze off! The bus gradually started to move, getting farther and farther away from Xianghe. Every time a full bus arrives at a bus stop, some people will get off the bus as if they were sprayed out by toothpaste that was squeezed hard. Youzhen, who only saw the empty seat, took the opportunity and sat down in the last seat. During school hours, as usual, Youzhen began to doze off in the car as if nothing had happened. After a long time, Youzhen realized that the boy next to her couldn’t sleep well. Alternate constantly, and then hand over the body to the bus. I do not know how long it has been. Youzhen's head fell asleep on the shoulder of the boy next to him, and the male student who didn't know what to do had to gently push Youzhen's head to the other side, and Youzhen's head just went to the glass window. With a bang, Youzhen opened her eyes.Youzhen who woke up suddenly stared at the boy next to her unhappily, then looked around the bus, only to find that there was almost no one in the bus, and Youzhen had already passed one stop. (2) Youzhen hurriedly stood up, and the bus braked suddenly.After the bus driver muttered a few words, he opened the door to let Youzhen get off the bus, and a boy followed her out of the bus. He was the male student sitting next to her just now.Youzhen stomped her feet and looked around muttering words, no matter how she looked, she couldn't figure out where it was, and Youzhen began to stomp her feet angrily again, but the boy just followed her blankly, she carefully After looking at it, she realized that he was wearing the uniform of the same school, and Youzhen stomped her feet and opened her mouth to the male student. Why didn't you wake me up just now? The boy didn't respond at all. Youzhen tilted her head curiously and asked him again. What grade are you in? second grade. The male student had just finished speaking, and Youzhen began to curse regardless of the matter. Hello!What class are you in?I've never seen a second grader like you. Youzhen walked angrily as if she blamed the male student for all her faults, then suddenly stopped and said a word to the male student who looked at Youzhen inexplicably: Why don't you come quickly?Don't even save on the bus fare! Youzhen beckoned off the bus and grabbed his hand, and the male student just followed Youzhen onto the bus. After getting off the bus, Youzhen hurriedly ran towards the school gate without looking back. After running for a while, she suddenly turned her head and glanced at the male student who came to the school by bus together. Huo moved to his mouth to hold the cigarette in his mouth, and Youzhen thought that if he knew it earlier, he would not look back. Just as he was about to turn his head back, he took a breath and exhaled the cigarette into the air, his forehead was slightly covered by his long hair , exuding indescribable sadness, but Youzhen didn't see all of this.It wasn't until much later that Youzhen realized that was his true personality.Youzhen was both speechless and a little scared.Youzhen, who temporarily forgot what to say, just stared at him with round eyes. Youzhen hurried to the school gate, where there were already many latecomers standing with their arms outstretched.The devil teacher with his butt raised high was right in front of Youzhen, scolding the students who were late. As soon as the devil found Youzhen who hurried in, he leaned over.After the devil's long-winded reprimand, Youzhen had already penetrated into the middle of the other students, standing with her hands raised high.Jin-sook, Yoo-jin's buddy, is also late.Zhenshu whispered to Youzhen that she was only one minute and fifty seconds late and was punished by the devil, which was too much, and asked Youzhen: Xianghe is not late, why are you late? Not to mention, it's not all about that weird kid. When Youzhen and Jinshu were whispering, the demon yelled loudly as if he had eaten dynamite: you guy!What time is it now and you are still so slow?Do you have a brain! Youzhen, who was startled by the devil's sudden loud voice, saw the male student standing in front of the devil just now, and Youzhen's eyes widened again.I didn't even feel myself yelling: That's him! The other students who were punished to stand were startled by Youzhen's voice. Looking at Youzhen and the male student, the male student stood there with no expression on his face. He looked over at Youzhen. I will reflect on how to do my duty as a student, and I will never skip class again The one who sadly read the letter of repentance on the podium was Yong Guk.Standing behind the classroom and looking at him with crossed hands, the devil said loudly: Louder! Yongguo kept repeating the confession book because his voice was too low. After reading it several times, Yongguo finally said to the devil: teacher!Humans make mistakes sometimes, don't they?Didn't the teacher skip class when he was studying? As soon as Yong Guo finished speaking, the devil came to him and shook the back of his head, and this time he pinched his ears even more forcefully, but it seemed that the teacher was not malicious, and he spread his hands and screamed. Yongguo went back to his seat. At that moment, the voice of the microphone came.After a while, the teacher walked into the classroom with a male classmate. A transfer student came to our class today. The person approaching the classroom was the male classmate Youzhen met in the morning.Youzhen was really taken aback, and then the eyes of the two intersected. Not only Zhen, but even the male classmate looked at each other in a daze.No one spoke first, just looked at each other. Transferred from Seoul Science and Technology Middle School, Science and Technology Middle School. The teacher read his transfer materials and especially emphasized the words Science and Technology Middle School. again, the name is My name is Jiang Junxiang. The devil seemed to have encountered some great talent and told the students to get along well in the future, and the students welcomed Junxiang with clapping hands.After clapping hands, the teacher began to assign his seat. Sitting there should be the monitor! The teacher seemed to have suddenly thought of Xianghe who was the monitor of the class.When Xianghe stood up, Junxiang frowned, and Junxiang, who was about to hide his hostility, tried his best to avoid Xianghe's eyes and walked to the seat Xianghe told him.The teacher explained some things to Xianghe and left the classroom. As soon as the class meeting was over, the students began to discuss.Junxiang sitting on the seat had unusual eyes, his neck was tightened, and his eyes were full of anxiety. He didn't intend to get close to other people at the beginning, and he just sat there blankly, looking at Xianghe as if he had something to do. . Junxiang who sat at the back of the classroom didn't get along with his classmates at all, he seemed to care nothing about other things, he didn't pay attention to everything, and he didn't have any expression on his face, but he aroused the attention of his female classmates Out of curiosity, the girls gathered together and chatted about Junxiang while peeping at him. The straightforward Zhenshu carefully looked at Junxiang's face and said: Not bad looking, huh? I'm not interested. Cailin said lightly.Youzhen also felt the same way, and didn't even bother to reply. Zhenshu, who likes to twitter, stares at the newly transferred Junxiang, and then looks back at the other male students in the class with a bit of contempt, as if all the male students in the class are inferior to him, and can be with Junxiang The one on par is not the same.She is short, likes to eat snacks, a little fat, but she is very cute, but when she sees Yongguo, her eyes are different, because Jinshu likes Yongguo.But Yong Guo, who is ugly but very courageous, doesn't necessarily like Jin Shu.The other students looked at Yong Guk, who was sitting on a chair with a pencil and digging his ears contemptuously, and at Jin Shu, and smiled helplessly.Zhenshu added aggrievedly: Yongguo looks good too, I mean it It's so noisy, you girls, as long as you look good, that's fine, right? Cailin replied a little dissatisfied. Of course not, I just passed by the office and heard them say that Jiang Junxiang is very famous in their school, what is it called, the National Mathematical Olympiad? Cailin stood up. It's not Math Olympiad, it's Olympiad. Anyway, he still won the first place there, no matter what, he is a very good person, isn't he? real? The students all looked at Junxiang with wide eyes, and then Cailin kicked the table and stood up. That's it! Everyone looked at her curiously. Jiang Junxiang is mine now, so don't make plans for him. Cailin quietly walked around Junxiang, and then passed by him. The other female students all looked at Cailin, showing the expression that it took eight lifetimes of bad luck to bump into someone like you.At that time, Youzhen noticed that the eyes of Junxiang and Xianghe were intertwined, and Xianghe was holding a club activity log in his hand. Nice to meet you, I'm Kim Sang-hyuk, I hope you like it here. Xianghe raised his hands forward and spoke to Junxiang first.But Junxiang just looked up at Xianghe, and Xianghe who was dumbfounded said to Junxiang again: Everyone has to choose the club they are going to join. Which club are you going to join? I'm not interested. Junxiang, who embarrassed Xianghe, just walked out of the classroom. Xianghe, who didn't understand what was going on, called Junxiang to follow him out of the classroom, when Youzhen walked up to Xianghe. Give it to me, I'll help you. Youzhen took the club activity log from Xianghe and walked towards Junxiang. Hey, hey, Jiang Junxiang! Hearing Youzhen calling him, Junxiang turned his head. It's not good if you don't fit in with the group on the first day you transfer to the school. If that happens, the monitor will feel very embarrassed. Which club do you want to join? You don't sleep at school, do you? Junxiang pursed his lips and asked with a smile. I heard that you were in a high school of science and technology before?Then do you want to go to the Science Club? Youzhen was not angry when she heard Junxiang's words, although she felt a little uncomfortable, she looked at him and felt that there seemed to be something hidden in Junxiang's rebellious attitude and tone.Youzhen has been unknowingly attracted to Junxiang.However, Junxiang's heart is the same, even if he is attracted to him differently, Junxiang looks at Youzhen, who is different from others, and keeps trying to talk to him, as if the latch of the confinement in his heart has been pulled. Have you ever seen a baseball player play baseball for fun? Youzhen is really not going to argue with him anymore.As long as the conversation is open, there is nothing that cannot be communicated. There is really no need for Junxiang to make things difficult for others. Youzhen hates Junxiang with such an awkward personality, so she deliberately changed to a business-like tone. I read out all the clubs for you to choose, there are choir clubs, basketball clubs, piano clubs, billiard clubs, and calligraphy clubs What company is that guy from? While Youzhen read to him one by one, Junxiang pointed to Xianghe and asked. who?Jin Xianghe? Um. broadcasting agency. Broadcasting agency?Then I want the broadcasting agency. After Junxiang finished speaking, he turned his head and walked away. Seeing that Junxiang couldn't figure out what was going on, Youzhen turned his eyes to Xianghe, Xianghe also shrugged, showing that he didn't know. In the broadcasting room, Junxiang sat on a chair in the corner with his arms crossed, watching Youjin and Xianghyuk choose records.Yong-kook and Jin-sook and Chae-rin in the studio are testing the microphones.Yongguo knocked on the glass window of the studio and asked with his mouth if Youzhen and Xianghe could hear the sound.Youzhen and Xianghe shook their heads, Yongguo suddenly opened the door and came out and asked: Oops, can't you hear anything? Is something wrong?It was fine yesterday. Xianghe asked worriedly: The most likely suspect is Wu Cailin. Just as Yongguo spoke, Cailin immediately retorted: It's not me, I said it's definitely not me, it was weird before I touched it, wasn't Zheng Youzhen the last broadcast yesterday?Isn't that what you use? Youzhen, who was startled by Cailin's words, asked Cailin: So how did you broadcast this morning? We should admit our mistakes in order to be a good example for others, Wu Cailin!Do not lie! Quan Yongguo! Cailin stared and shouted loudly: But I just ran into something, let's not make things big here, go and talk to the teacher!
