Everything Started from Here
Part 1
I stepped into the principal's office after dad.
I was hit by the smell of mildew.
The principal sat behind his desk, wearing a black suit.
I'd returned from the U.S. 10 days ago.
I found out that I'd be placed one grade lower due to the difference between the two school systems.
"Please take good care of my son."
My dad placed a firm hand on my shoulder.
I shuddered.
"School is a dangerous place. It needs to be strict and controlled," the principal said, the corner of his mouth and his wrinkly cheeks quivering. The insides of his aged lips were gray.
The principal caught my gaze.
"Don't you agree, Seokjin?"
A shock shot up my neck when dad squeezed my shoulder tightly.
He wanted me to give an answer to impress.
I wasn't supposed to be nervous when giving
a good first impression to this principal.
"I'm sure you'll behave yourself," the principal concluded.
Dad squeezed my shoulder tighter as I turned my gaze away from the principal's.
It was so painful, I feared my shoulder might fracture.
I clenched my fists to hold my composure.
The principal held my gaze again, cold as ever.
"You know you have to keep me informed, right? You'll be a good student, yes?"
"Yes," I answered.
My voice was nothing more than a strained whisper.
Dad finally released my shoulder.
I bowed my head as the two men laughed heartily.
I couldn't even look at them.
Dad's brown shoes were polished well, just as the principal's black shoes were.
They shone brightly as the sun caught them.
It was a mystery to me how something could shine so brightly in such a dark place.
