Description

There were a few rumors about Hongpyo Academy for the Elite. It is said that the academy is for private, specialized learning that prepares their students for multiple career opportunities in high level areas of employment after graduation. It is said that the academy is funded by prominent tycoons, politicians, and celebrities all over the world for the servies of the graduates. It is said that the academy is currently run by a passionate headmisstress with multiple years of experience in special education under her belt. It is said that the teachers are all exceptionally qualified for their jobs and experts in their fields, which contribute to their flexible, hands-on approach to teaching. It is said that the school is equipped with facilities that specially cater to the hobbies and trainings of the students. It said that the parents of the students pay millions of won to have their children enroll in the mysterious school. Finally, it is said that the students who graduate from the school leave with multiple job offers and one foot on the road to success and wealth.

All of the rumors were true, but at the same time, none of them were. 

Unlike other private schools in Korea, Hongpyo Academy did not just work on simple Language, Sciences, Mathematics, Physical Education, and History that were not applicable to their students' futures. The curriculum in the school was specialized, but not in the way that people thought. 

Enter Park Hee Neul, a girl who lost all her love for the "specialized" and desired for the normal. All she could think of was giving it all up--her education, the path that she was on, and especially the skills and abilities that she had learned along the way. 

Enter Do Kyungsoo, the new addition to the senior batch of Hongpyo Academy and a great mystery for the students and even the staff. No one knew why he became part of the senior batch, where he was from, or what he can do.

All they knew was that he was special as well and that somehow he would be able to make Hee Neul stay.

Foreword

"With all due respect, headmistress, I would rather have one of my classmates with live weapons play Hide and Go Kill with me than be stuck with the new kid."

"So do they call you 'Zero' and 'Bottom-dweller' because you're great or because you ?"

"Are you seriously asking me if I can trust someone like you?" "Yes."

Because unlike the rest of you, I actually have something to lose.”

"On one condition: you have to kill me."

"The school rules keep you alive, so stop breaking them."

 



Disclaimer/Author's Note:

I don't own anyone in the story except for OCs like Hee Neul and Ms. Red. Also, I'm not an expert on anatomy, guns, fighting, and all of that stuff. While I did research these topics to give a better feel for the story and to have it closer to reality, I do acknowledge that there would be parts that are simply impossible or parts where I'm wrong or incomplete in research/understanding. Just, don't tear me down for that okay? ^^' Lastly, the general idea of this story is from a Tumblr blog called writing-prompt-s! That blog has some wicked cool prompts and stories. You should go check it out!

WIth that said, I do hope that all of you enjoy this story! It's my first time writing something outside of the romcom genre, but I hope it interests you

Chapter 9: I feel like I haven't read this story in years; forgive me, but life was (and is) on my way. I thought about this story a lot, surprisingly, and I thought that when I finally read the last chapter left here, there would be more chapters, but (!) then again, I think you have a life too ahahah
Anyways, all I can is that I hope you take a little bit of your time to write when you can and when you want to do it. Readers like me will still read it, even if we're *months* late!
So Kyungsoo has hits OUT of school. When you say "hits"; do you mean "kills" or am I gettint it wrong? Why did he look so scared? From what I know, everyone in this school is very poised when it comes showing feeling and emotions and most importantly, vulnerability. So how come Kyungsoo can be read like an open book and yet, we know nothing of him, of who he is and of what he has done and does? I keep getting more and more curious.
A lovely chapter, as usual!

Chapter 8: I'm so sorry for being so late, but school has been chaotic and I'm getting ready for college admission exams, so I don't have the time to read anything TT-TT
this chapter was rather long, so, 10 points for you. Writting is consistent (as always) and makes me feel like I'm a part of the story, like I am there, with the characters, watching everything unfold before me, like a fly, or a ghost, which is pretty good, if you ask me. About the plot, itself, oh boy. This keeps getting weirder. When "the girls" were mentioned, I immediately thought of ion (who didn't?). My question is, what is even going on???
Is that really Kyungsoo's house, is he really part of that family? It was pretty strange to me that there were 0 pics of him. In HIS house. Is he replacing someone as job? As in, the kid in the pictures? I have no idea, I try to come up with theories and they all seem flawed somehow.
Hee Neul is playing with fire, but I do understand why. It must be scary for her not to know who he really is and what he can actually do. Is he a threat to her or not? Maybe I'd do the same if I were her, and I mean try to get information all by myself.
Does Yuto really know more? He has to, right? Then why didn't he provide more information for Hee Neul? Is he scared for some reason?
I'm so, sooo intrigued, you have no idea. I just... don't know what, WHO Kyungsoo might be.
As for Hee Neul... I sensed she doesn't like her home, and consequently, her "family". She described it as being "unattached to everything else"; why? If she didn't want to be in that school, who enrolled her there? More importantly, if she doesn't feel connected to her "family" or doesn't even like it, why does she want to get out of that school so bad, seeing as she has nowhere to go to after? I'm so confused, but this story has me hooked.
Please keep up the good work! This story is the only reason why I still come to this website.
Have a nice day!

Chapter 7: Okay..I suppose Kyungsoo's specialty is NOT poisons. But what is it? He's clearly skilled and as the chapters progress, there's even more mystery surrounding both him and Heeneul. It's apparent that Heeneul doesn't want to be in the academy, and as mentioned on the first chapter, she tried to flee many times throughout her three years in there. Why she was enrolled there in the first place? And she has a mother and guardians? So she wasn't living with her mother? What about the father?
And who is this Do Kyungsoo anyway?

I'm so hooked.

Chapter 5: This same exact sentence Kyungsoo translated in English and French was in the episode "The Van Gogh Job" of the TV show Leverage.
Anyway, there's a lot of mystery surrounding pretty much everyone in this story. For Kyungsoo, I'll take a wild guess and say that his specialty could be poisons.
Moving on to the next chapter
